The Studio Eight Diet™

[Hypatia]

the missing link

what it was like to be free, white,15 years old and a male in the fifties
and in the seventies, all the dungaree dolls were reading The Bell Jar
Oh yes I want you to wear my high school sweater the one with the three Scarlet Letters

[stilltrucking]

bike ride rained out left me with,
the going nowhere fast blues

down three pounds last week, about 20 still to go

studio eight diet is angst-free, no gluten fruity veggie(I love them Steamers™) and with occasional decadent descents into Lean Cuisine™
and a can opener. Can't do this diet without a good quality can operner. come to think of I can't think of anything that is not in my diet except for doughnuts, but I got organic whole wheat with flax seed frozen waffles so I don't miss them that much
coffee lots of coffee, good coffee, mr coffee and a kuerig i use both of them to make it through the day.

Hank Williams said it best
One mans hawk is another mans dove, one mans hug is another mans shove
One mans rock is another mans sand, one mans fist is another mans hand
One mans tool is another mans toy, one man grief is another mans joy
One mans squawk is another mans sing, one mans crutch is another mans wing

rained out today
cooking all day
well I was eating all day
baked an acorn squash, steamed vegetables
lots of HEB heart healthy bread™

Bummed five cigarettes from the bear
when he was a young man his biker friends called him "Bear"
married now to my little sister
I am so grateful she has a husband, she is a woman who needs a man, one who will drive her crazy, and she can take care of him,
Watched Gunsmoke today, Matt Dillion reminds me of my beloved brother in law

I feel like I had a paleolithic childhood

[still.trucking]

I read The Geneology of Morals the way those TV preachers read the Bible

I should read the Bible more,
always worth the effort.
but I listen to gospel music
ain't no reason to deny it' Hold on to Jesus Christ

It’s about choosing joy.
still dieting, fish, steamed vegetable, heart healthy bread and stuff like that.
down ten pounds '

[short timer]

That ain't the way to have fun, no
That ain't the way to have fun, son

diets and broken hearts
I only broke her heart a thousand times
she only broke mine once
amor fati
I am a fortunate son
to be the sun of the rose of san antone

Oh well, I got so much family baggage on my X chromosome
big pharma is my dearest friend
gotdamn the pusher

I am eating the right things but I am cooking them wrong way.

[stilltrucking]

the bona fide blues and the rock and roll truth

I am grateful for days
that I keep my gratitude higher than my expectations
I have really good days

is that too much to ask>

"the bona fide blues and the rock and roll truth"

"all my revelations are revelations with a small r."

would I lie to myself about my diet?
would I lie to you?

the whole diet, the diet of food, words, images, music
behold the man —he is what he writes

[MrGuilty]

I have met my enemy and he is me
still cluttered up to my ass
still hanging on
but waiting to descend suddenly into decrepitude'
cause I ain't living long like this.

15 pounds to lose

[stilltrucking]

Where are my ruby slippers™ when I need them
I got the homesick road sick blues

I made a pot of what was in the fridge soup today, a huge pot, last me days, had to freeze some.

[stilltrucking]

Feel like I ate breakfast with wireman
smiling the miles away
Signed up for a gym on Monday
cause I got to use it or lose it
fortunate so far
but I will be 80 in a year
I want to make long-range plans

Lonely bikes and fudge are the only things that keep me going
and one more thing: my studio eight "Pips"

Anyway, I call all my dead friends my Pips
they stand behind me and do the oohs and ahs and snap their fingers
and do the fancy step where they whisper in my ear: "You're livin' for me now
