REVELATION – “STATUS UPDATE”

i haven’t posted here (except to post that silly cut-up) since “As u get older u can’t get so drunk” – Oct 27 I could only read, could not write after “Hospital food is like I remember airline food.” – Nov 1 My mantra became “The Tortured Man becomes the Revealed One.” after Nov 2nd I hid in the Hideout and almost became Invisible until Election Day re-introduced me to my neighbors “Spending 3 hours in line with hundreds of people has helped me to embrace my bandages that I’ve been doing my best to hide.” — Nov 6th “And now the hospital bills arrive… america, fuck yeah…” November 16 The blog fell by the wayside… But this morning, I noticed that there are several DRAFTS up here!
