| thunderstorms this weekend yet another chance of snow tonight and then thunderstorms this weekend the typical weather here in ohio wait ten minutes and then be pissed off yet again the best medicine they say laughter is the best medicine they obviously have never drank a bottle of whiskey while taking morphine misery and tears near the end of my grandmother’s life, she looked like willie nelson she couldn’t play the guitar worth a shit and certainly didn’t have willie’s weed but she did have his whiskers by this time, her mind was fucking gone she was reliving her childhood in the hills of kentucky through the depression and wars and eighty some years of mostly misery and tears she certainly could have used the weed too much of an asshole positive thinking never worked for me i’m too much of a realist too much of an asshole to think i am well or the world is a better place i figure my father never said he loved me and i have passed that gift to the world these cycles tend to never end souls better than ours another night where the gin tastes as good as your legs look in that black dress we’ll dance the night away under a neon moon pass back memories of the lives we have finally left behind by morning we’ll be miles down a road meant for souls better than ours but we’ve cobbled together yet another chance to find the love that has kept us running for years now may the bliss of what could be save us before death finally knocks down the door J.J.
