FAILURE

aloha again,
in other news.
in the 80s i worked fulltime,hotel graveyard shift, then went to school all day in San Francisco. i took two buses to get to either SF City College or SF State. one day i'm on the bus and a very pregnant young white woman gets on and sits in the seat opposite.another stop or two later a crazed foul mouthed white guy gets on and sits next to her then starts badmouthing her with some of the foulest language imaginable.we were all in the front bus seats just behind the driver. it was obvious she didn't know him and it soon became obvious that neither the bus driver or anyone else was going to do anything about this escalating confrontation...(see my Gandhi quote) so the next time the doors open i got up,grabbed the guy and tossed him on his ass out the open door.i got a tearfull heartfelt thanks from the pregnant woman and an equally heartfelt I'LL KILL YOU MOTHERF*CKER! from the ejectee. this is a moment i am still very proud of (there are others too).

FAILURE
on Sundays i watch IN PLAIN SIGHT about the US MARSHALS WITNESS PROTECTION PROGRAM,last nite turned out to be a surprising meditation on hubris & failure. FAILURE IS THE BEST TEACHER etc etc etc.i can't wait to see what i learn from the upcoming California economic meltdown...

found another pressure sore, this one on the back of my head from the sleep apnea C PAP session.two pressure sores now, oddly enough i feel like a REAL CRIP NOW.doesn't make any sense but it's true.
