Amanda dog
I have not died, but the last post and it’s persistent existence at the top of my Metaphysic screen has made me wish it so. I’ve been busy riding my bike to the Louis Armstrong airport to fly to the Pennsylvanian wedding of my sister’s dreams, taming the hound, slutting myself to the art gods with a live PBS appearance, pre-visualizing my next great American adventure and learning basic two stroke mechanics. The photo i had placed at the top of the Storm was one i took at Laguna Beach with Amanda. I don’t know why i put it there, nor do i know why i left the drunk post about #1 and the private emails we traded in a vain attempt to educate each other, also alive in digital world’s existence. Needless to say, this post has been in the works for a while and it seems that already too much space has been occupied with excuse and explanation.
Let us cut to the chase…
By nearly all rational measure i should probably be in a nut house because of my belief that a supernatural agency manipulates the universe but more specifically, extensively communicates to me through coincidence which painfully causes me to question the existence of free will. Thank god for the relative nature which the religious contribute to the curve. If we are nothing more than mechanical animals i don’t see the purpose of existence, just hook me up to a morphine drip and let me drift to an industrial death. When i got out of the torture chamber of Orange County jail and picked up Doodles in Albuquerque from a friend that shares my dads name who lives at an a address which starts with 801, i was absolutely convinced that the stage had been set for me and we were merely seeing if i was a capable actor/director.
Amanda really confused me because she stated, “you’re spiritually jacked but i think you are just reading into the coincidences”. The only thing i reported that wasn’t a coincidence were the paintings that were turned upside down in my home after i made an egocentric sounding “can god be dis-proven” voice recording for an anarchist/atheist website. It wasn’t until i was back home on the phone with her and told her of a routine coincidence that she called me out, called me a liar. I was walking Doodles when i passed a house with a kid who wanted to pet my dog; he asked her name and i told. It turned out that the little boy also had a black lab named Doodles. I put him on the wireless with Amanda to confirm the “impossible”.
A few months later and after hundreds of hours of canine training it was becoming apparent that i would not be able to continue my lifestyle, i would have to devote my life to this dog meaning switching to a job at wall-mart and living in the ghetto to continue giving half of what i had. It just made more sense to find this dog given to me by god to a family with the means. After i made the tough decision, which i knew would please the family i was about to meet in PA with my blatant failure in my ability to be “responsible” for another life, I made a web-page for her and started my network magic. That day on our walk we were charged by a little fucktard dog which i had to pull out of Doodles mouth. My girl bit my wrist in the process, which could have been a tragic career ender. Fortunately it was a mere flesh wound and the owner of the unleashed retard dog was a cute med student who turned me on to ARTDOCS. In return i didn’t sue her.
At my sister’s wedding i met up with my father who i hadn’t spoken to since my Las Vegas experience. After the rehearsal I hopped in his new giant truck with state of the art GPS and a wife navigator to boot. A couple dozen of us were going to a local pizza/beer joint. As we sat in the church parking lot waiting for the others he plugged the restaurant into the computer. I asked if the link up was live and found it to be a download. I advised that the location might not be up to date because things change, especially restaurants. A car in-front of us instructed us to follow them but Wayne punched it and passed them intent on being the first one to munch a slice. It turned out i was right, not only did it bring us to a non existent pizza shop, it was in a different town. Wayne would not listen to my reason and kept doing circles on dirt roads while my sister gave me condolences over the cell. I was wondering if a gun would make an appearance at my sister’s wedding and i was not disappointed, Wayne said that he was going to shoot his GPS which deserved his wrath. The co-piolate kept a reasoned silence as i suggested we just go back to Greensburgh. “Go back to Greensburgh, why don’t we just go back to Greensburgh”, my dad said.
We went back to Greensburgh to meet someone at my sisters old apartment so they could guide us to the pizza shop. On the way, i explained to them that two years previous i hadn’t been on a drug induced psychosis when i showed up at their doorstep. That it was a series of improbable coincidences that led me to a state of paranoia and the unexplained upside down paintings. We arrived at my sisters old apartment and there was a wooden statue of a pizza chef in the neighbors yard mocking my dad. I took a photo of the evidence and told my stepmother that i indeed am not the crazy one.
Amanda had always spoke of getting a Great Dane, one that she could ride. Coincidentally out of the half dozen people that replied about Doodles the best one was named Amanda, who owned a Great Dane. She also happens to be a nurse in on of the few psyche wards i haven’t visited in Southern Louisiana. I went over to there house and hung out with them and her marine husband, 4 cats and a parrot. In the back yard the unclipped bird flew from their hand and found a home on my shoulder. They were very surprised because the bird doesn’t like strangers and has actually attacked people… The new pic at the top of the storm is one i took from a volcano of Doodle’s birthplace, Albuquerque. Doodles loves her new home.
