host - email - older- newest - profile - noteswriting about cats is queer 2004-09-28 - I got a funny letter a couple of days ago from Marty, who sent me some raw recipes, God knows where in the hell he got them. Also a hand drawn map/floor plan of his relative's house in Pennsylvania. I always tell people I don't do well with maps, but they love to draw them anyway. Another time he wrote down everything the commissary sold and how much it was. I think he has been doing exceptionally well barring the fact that his defense team's motion to have a special prosecutor has been denied. "New York Post -- 9/24 Martin Tankleff's attorneys argue that District Attorney Spota can't reliably oversee the hearing that will decide on a new trial for their client because he once represented the cop who obtained Tankleff's disputed confession. They also point to the fact that in 1983, his firm represented Jerry Steuerman, the man Tankleff's lawyers say contracted the killings. Tankleff, now 33, was convicted of slaughtering his adoptive parents, Seymour and Arlene, in their Belle Terre mansion and was sentenced to 50 years to life."
"In the song you ask "so what makes a man a man in these tough times?" What's the answer and will we ever find a suitable answer in times of war? " JONI: Well, as near as I can -- what makes a great man -- and there aren't many living today -- but the ones that are living, great, you know, like great leaders -- Mandela for instance. What seems to unfortunately make a great man is years and years of torture. You know, it's almost like you have to be pulled through, die, and get all your rough edges banged off, you know, like, along the way in order to come to that kind of inner quietude where the worst has happened and you've survived it, you know, and transcended it without bitterness. There's the art, that's what separates an ordinary man from a great man, I guess. Because that's hard. And if you should make that transition, from there you would get great leadership. "
"Lucerne Valley Man Arrested for Tax Evasion Lawrence Jenkins allegedly failed to file his state income tax returns between 1995 and 1998 I am 100% not lying when I say that Emily is completely dry heaving on my lap - and just puked on my carpet. I can only assume it was the 1/2 teaspoon of avocado that she ate enthusiastically an hour ago with me. Simple raw food detox, I told her. She needs to think that over outdoors, I guess. I dragged home a bland little grey cat when I was nine and then my mother claimed she related a lot to her. Someone named her Peppermint Patty, which I thought was queer, and unluckily again, my mother renamed her. My mother used to like to attach people's personalities to cats. "You know, growing up, I was a little scrappy like Mitzy. A little sad. And I was in a gang, but I used to get beat up a little, by a girl in another gang named Peanuts. Mitzy is kind of scrappy too, but a survivor, like I was. " "We know, you've told us this gang story a couple a times. " Then one day my brother Rory was angry at no one we knew, and told Mitzy she was a bitch, just like all women were. I had nothing to project onto Emily tonight, but I guess she had something to project onto me. previous - next |
