This is a safe house where friends of Voltaire can meet to discuss any topic that tickles their fancy. why thanky, franky... i've been in las vegas, NV for 3 days at the NAB convention. i might share some insights in the next few days... or not... from the leading edge of the information technology revolution but... right now... for now... what's on my heart is heavy. i'm just gonna dump it here on the porch. <polvie reaches in and grabs the cold heavy feelings and tries to set them gently on the porch steps but they fall from his hands and land on the outer edge of the loose step plank above the one he's standing on causing the other end of the plank to come flying up like a teeter totter and it catches him up side his poo haid making his ear bleed> i ain't read all the posts of the last three daze but i gather there's been some emotions flying around and some fights and some tattling and some whining and some bitching. there wasn't nobody to fight with in vegas... more than a couple million strangers there... a god awful place for the heart... love for sale on every corner... happiness and dreams for sale in every casino... success for sale in the NAB convention center. eeek! kawaanasquatsi (sp?) - life outta balance. it was nice to have the market going to hell while i was there... it's a blatant nose rubbing to have yer money shrinking and disappearing while yer in the midst of a place that sells happiness fer money. i've ALWAYS been blessed thata way... never quite had enough to buy... always enough to get by... but never enough to buy the dream... don't know if i want to buy it. at least three times this week in the golden, decadent city i encountered aliens... mannequins... bodies. almost perfect bodies in perfect poses... perfect clothes... i remembered back to when i was a kid and saw my first mannequins in j.c. penny's, sears and woolworth's... when i was walkin' around in the store and there was one in my peripheral vision, i'd think it was a real person for a while until i turned and looked straight at it and looked for signs of life and then after i stared for a while i'd see there was no soul in it and i'd think, "oh! it's a statue." the twist is... the ones i saw in vegas gave me that exact same eerie feeling (deja vu) but when i stared for a while i could see that they were breathing and then they'd start walkin' or something and i saw they were live people... but i still couldn't see any soul. ?!? there can't be a person without a soul. can there? it had to be hidden or something. it had to be a perception flaw on my part. people don't walk around without souls do thee?? scary. or at least weird. if this post sounds like i'm crazy... just read it like it's a poem or something. sometimes i fancy myself a writer. anyway, it sure is nice to be back. things are shitty. ms. b's got an attendance problem in her math class at school. kath is burned out and going crazy over all her tax client's returns, my old dog (spot) is sick (he might be dying), the puppy (bob marley) tore the house up while the girls came to pick me up at the airport. the porch peoples are fightin' and rattin' on each other, my net worth has been reduced to only whatever character i might have left (no money)... god damn... it's GOOD to be home! this is the life. MY life. and i LOVE it... pain... problems... imperfections... togetherness. dance a little closer to me dudes... love, -polvie
