THE RESURECTION OF DAY CATHEY

       He was a man, always a musician,
        he was a singer, a songwriter too.
       Then he embarked on life's long vast journey,
        hosted by clouds that lessened his view.
       He couldn't see through, though the sun shined
        he couldn't see through, he had clouded his mind
         he couldn't see through, he's been lost for a while
          he couldn't see through, his own self denial.

       He was a gallant knight in shining armor,
        firm was his stance and swift was his sword.
       Wonderfully wielding words, clashing comments,
        only to find his way home in a song.
       He would find, he would find his way home,
        in his song, he would find his way home
         it's been so long, will he find his way home,
          in a song, will he find his way home,
           find his way home, find his way home.

       What has disaster planned for his future,
        the words are still hanging, the notes are unknown.
       If only he, who's life is still baring,
        fruits from his past, can lighten the load.
       He must try, to lighten his load
        he must try, but he just cant let go
         he must find, how to lighten his load
          he could fly, if he'd lighten his load,
           lighten his load, lighten his load.

       Was he so blind that he had forgotten,
        all that had once made him king of the land.
       Time is of essence, we must start construction,
        right from the ground, from right wear you stand.
       And you'll find, you will find your way home,
        in a song, now he's found his way home
         it's been so long, now he's found his way home
          in his song, now he's found his way home,
            found his way home, found his way home.

JUST CALL ME KIRK

       A while back, about 5 years ago, I was playing poker at a club in Seattle. The waitress, a Korean gal named Sunny, was the food and drink server for us players. Many times my food would arrive when I was involved in a hand. I would just hand her my money and she would say, "thank you Kirk, thank you. Well.... my name was not Kirk, but Captain Kirk, from Star Trek was a cool guy, so I just let it slide and allowed her to call me by that name.
        Months passed and I was still frequenting the joint, when I again got hungry. My order arrived and it was time to pay up.{ I have a bad hip and lower back problem, which makes walking a problem. I even use a red diamond willow staff to help me with my struggles that I have walking.} The bill came to about $7, so I handed her a ten spot and told her to keep the change. She then replied, "thank you Kirk, thank you," as she  had always done before. After months of calling me Kirk, it was time to clue her in on my real name. I said," Sunny, did you know my name is not Kirk? " She replied, "oh! what is your name?"  " I told her my name was Raymo. She then said, "oh Laymo, I didn't know." Upon hearing Laymo, a cripple man that I am said," hey Sunny, just call me Kirk." The laughs were loud when this all transpired and what was also funny was that she had no idea why we were laughing.

THE TWORUNNASORASS HEX (POKER) 5

       There's a monster under the bed in the Land Of Flopportunity. He is called the Two Runnersorass Hex and he is one fucked up beast. He will stalk you for weeks, maybe months, maybe forever. It seems you cannot shake him, he's over your shoulder and then somehow, finding his way back into your head. Even though you may be strong and experienced, you are seemingly no match as he wares you down to an easy pray, then gnaws at you slowly devouring your psyche, till your spirit is nearly gone. If you reach that point you may be gone forever, so somehow, you ware the woes of your wounds and the trickle of your consciousness and rise up to defend your fortress. You will enter the darkness that you have created with your fears and find that the light shines brightly in your heart. Bright enough to slay the beast who hides under all beds. River beds.
       Yes my friends, this beast will devour you on the river over and over like a bad dream. But not just a dream, a reoccurring dream. You must be your own shrink our you will be shrunk and freeze dried from the cold streak.
       I recently was bitten by this beast and it drove me crazy for about six weeks. My attitude was terrible and I didn't like the way I was behaving. This monster will bring out the worst in you, if you let it and I let it. I was the ugly animal. Maybe even as ugly as the Tworunnersorass. I needed to overcome this problem and hopped it would work itself out, as it had done in the past. After astronomically calculated odds to one occurrences were battering my brain and bankroll. I physically felt like I was being ingested bit by bit. Nearly consumed, I wearily arrived at the crossroads. The bonus...., that Holy Grail that I sought for weeks, which actually seemed like an eternity, was again dangling like a gold carrot in front of my face. Oh...., to be the one to have a chance to draw the diamond, as the sword in the stone was drawn and then, to have it set me free from the spell that had held me captive for seemingly ages, would be glorious. I went down to the dangerous river with the best, which I had done so many times before. Would I again be turned back into the darkness? Or will the light shine on my spirit and help me defeat the devouring beast? I awaited the outcome. If I prevail, I will gain the right to draw the diamond from the stone cold deck. This would decide my fate and allow me to move on to the next and final level. My straight was king. The river quickly changed that again and brought a flush. I also had a small flush in my arsenal of cards and after the smoke cleared and the battle cries were silenced, it remained the best. Rejoice! Rejoice! But not so fast! It was time to draw the diamond. I had waited so long for this moment and had extreme confidence as I rose from my chair to draw the card. The deck was spread and the light shinned on a certain card, there was no other card in my tunnel vision as my hand slowly lifted it up, looking so as only I could see it, there it was. It was the King Of Diamonds. I had broken the spell. I was then presented with a $160 reward, for finding my way through the maze and then cutting the diamond. From that moment on, the Tworunnersorass has kept his distance, but still remains in our game and in our minds.                                                     The game of poker breeds many monsters and it is our job not to let them get control of our every day good moods. Be like a fortress and may your walls be strong and high in your life's castle."Don't let it get you down, it's only castles burning, just find someone that's turning and you will come around."(Neil Young)

STUCK IN SIMPLICITY

       I'm stuck in simplicity,
        a man without a rhyme
       Keeping things in order,
        keeping things in time
       The alphabet transcends
        all that's on my mind
       'cause I'm stuck in simplicity
        and running out of time

        Keep things simple my friends      Wizzzmo

JOKES PUNS AND PALINDROMES (4)

       My friend Rich was so stupid, that he thought the international date line was a 1-800 number that you called to date Russian chicks.
       My friend Dick was so stupid, that he thought melanoma is something you get from eating too much cantaloupe.
       Upon introducing himself to Eve, Adam said, "Madam I'm Adam. Eve was adamant that he would use a palindrome to introduce himself to her. She was damn mad! After all he metaphor the first time that day.
       (Madam I'm Adam and damn mad) are Pali's

APRIL FOOLIVERSARY RESULTS

     Well, here's how it went. If you followed my previous blog, you were probably feeling bad for my friends that I locked into their own property in West Linn. Well the fooliversary video was just to set them up for the fall. I made sure that they watched the video in the morning, when they first got up. It worked like a charm. My friend Dave, went out to his fence, to find the key which was not there. April Fools! This was a simple and safe prank, from which results were pleasing. Nobody was locked into their property after all. No emergencies, no sneaking around property in West Linn at night while looking suspicious, equals not getting arrested or jeopardizing my friend's escape, just in case.
       So now it's back to the future. Just wait till next year.

       Be kind my friends                Wizzzmo

HAPPY APRIL FOOLIVERSARY DAVE AND SCOTTIE

       Ah yes, April Fool's Day, it's finally here. Actually, I didn't know what I was going to do, till just this eve of fool's day. My good friends and bead collecting associates, were married on this day and I have decided to be the prankster on my own behalf and gift them with a precious prank that I dreamed up for today. Just a few hours ago I chained their front gate to their house and property, closed shut. A thick lock and chain are preventing their departure from Dave and Scottie land as I write. The key to the lock has been put in a bag on the side fence where Dave and I usually meet. I made a video to inform them of their dilemma and hope they play it as planned. I told them that I had a present for them, on my wizzzmo.com site and to look in the video section and to make sure that they play it first thing in the morning. The surprise will then play itself out and the outcome can only develop on it's own. See ya tomorrow for the results.
