Letter time
Verbal Jazz has decided to forego a pithy analysis of the 5-4 Supreme Court ruling on Campaign finance law to respond to some recent correspondence that you, yes you, the reader have sent my way.
Couldn't wait for the latest addition to answer 2 questions, are you gainfully employed yet & is it possible that there was deeper meaning to your unexpected playoff demise? Tom K.
Tom is the commissioner of my Fantasy Football League. My team, "Honeymoon Kid" (actually lifted from a comment Tom made mid-season), was seeded #1, and lost in the first round of the playoffs. Let's just say that the deeper meaning of my playoff defeat is that any team can lose on any given Sunday, and if certain players don't execute (read: Torry Holt and Michael Pittman, and, to a lesser extent Priest Holmes) then, well, you look at re-building for next year. Well, at least I still have the Patriots.
As for the second question, I am gainfully employed through January 2004, but retain the option of moving on. This week I had a second interview to join the marketing/PR team of a hospital: maybe I could learn a quick thing about performing open-heart surgery on the job? What would take precedence: emergency surgery or drafting a press release about that surgery? I'll take the press release and let someone else handle the patient.
See, Tom, I promised to answer your questions.
Wanted to reply to your entry for December 2nd.I work up here in Manchester [NH], and see many Segway scooters go by every day. Katy N.
Katy N. has a giant crawdad growing in her belly, or one of those things that hunted Ripley (played by Sigourney Weaver) in the "Alien" movies. I once had a roommate who was in love with Sigourney Weaver; he would get this dreamy look in his eye because, well, he was in love with Sigourney Weaver. I will now put on my pretentious and over analytical hat and say that I happen to think that the "Alien" films can be taken as a meditation on the pain of childbirth and how motherhood can turn you into a monster. That said, Katy N. is pregnant, and I do call her child "Crawdad" because she once described it as a crawdad-like creature without actually saying "Crawdad" (that was my doing). Personally, I think she is hallucinating on the Segways.
My favorite and the one that I can proabably relate to the most is "no go ahead, run me over." I have felt it many times, but I know by this point the way my body works no matter how bad the accident was I wouldn't be given a quick easy painless death...I would live on in agony for years most likely and wouldn't be able to drink beer. So I've just said no to walking in front of heavy metal things that are going fast. I'm sad that I'm most likely not going to get up to boston any time soon. I'm busy working this free lance slave labor and going for job interviews and even hopefully going to sit down with the editor of [a poetry magazine] sometime in the next few weeks. I hope that looking for work in the holidays hasn't bummed yoo out to much. If yood like I'll scream out yer name the next time I [have sex with] beautiful young woman...would that make yoo feel better? Tell the little lady [i.e. Missus Jazz] I say hi and that all is good here.
LOve, Kevin O.
Gotta love that Kevin. He can say the most outlandish and indelicate things, yet still sign his letters "Love, Kevin." I must say that this is the first time anyone has ever volunteered to scream my name...it makes me feel like a god.
Chris, I have had the flu for the last week...evenwith four days or over 102 fever, I still dragged mysorry ass to read the Verbal Jazz...good motivation when the Missus beats your ass..."overqualified"...I told myself that crap too...just use that creative mind and make more money than her....good luck,,,,the old sick guy in the valley, Chuck B.
Chuck, now that is commitment. When I have a temp of 102, I stay in bed and away from the computer. I'd probably write better, though. I hope you are feeling better.
Subject: Senator Dennis Kucinich
It is pretty clear to me that those oppose the Iraqi situation will win the '04 elections. Good Luck to Dean, Wesley, and Dennis, and Kerry. Also, Braun and Al, Good Luck. Iraq has and is a UN problem. Is not it a saying, "Do not take the law in your own hands." Wasn't going to war with Iraq disobeying UN Law. Donald F.
Kucinich was never a US Senator. He was a state Senator and a mayor and a congressman and a candidate with little or no hope of winning the nomination. Kucinich is what they call an "issue candidate" who motivates an extreme wing of the Democratic party. Since he is not going to win, Kucinich can say things to the effect of we need to vacate Iraq now and not have to follow through on such a misguided campaign promise. Fact is, we are stuck there and it is not an easy situation, but certainly one that could have been avoided.
