a warning to evil doers

My dream last night consisted of some social worker woman trying to help me. I guess she thought I was poor, but I kept trying to explain to her that I am doing just fine.

Also, there were some evil monsters trying to get me. They were haunting the places I lived in and generally being real nuisances. My friend had a bat attach itself to him, but we eventually got the bat off him.

I noticed that the monsters were getting bigger and bigger each night, so I figured hte big badass monster was coming along shortly. I wished the monsters would just fuck off and leave me alone.

One night I was in my room and I saw something make a shadow under the crack in my door. I crept to the door and opened it, and it was the big badass monster all right! Eek!

He was dressed in all black lycra like a comic book villain, but he had a pair of red speedos on and also some red on his face, kinda like a wrestler. Anyway, I tried to sneak across the hall behind him after he walked by, but he caught me by the neck!

He lifted me up and was telling me how he was going to really fuck me up now that he had me, but I punched him in the arm that was holding me by the neck and he let me go. Haha! Take that badass monster!

He was about to grab me again but I kicked him square in the plums as hard as I could. he sort of hunched over and grabbed his business with one hand and gave me the finger with the other hand, and that was the end of the dream.

So, don’t be bringing any fucked up monster-doings to my place, or you’re going to get your nuts kicked. I’m warning you, evil doers!

dead

I got a stern talking to from my boss this morning. Seems my performance is sub par. What a shock!

Man, I am the slackest of the slack when it comes to details and work and shit. Terrible!

Thank god no one has to depend on me for a meal or medical care. They’d be dead.

Do you guys ever feel like you just can’t pay any attention to what people say at all?

I’ve gotten to the point where I almost don’t even bother to listen to people talk about themselves or their feelings or whatever, because their actions will show you exactly what they really think.

I was thikning this earlier while playing my new favorite game. It’s called The Slow Game, and you play it by moving as slowly as possible. It’s not a good game to play while you’re driving. Don’t try it. Trust me. People honk.

I get bored playing The Slow Game usually after a minute or two. I have a low tolerance for boredom, my mom says. She may be right.

Another game I like a lot is Convince People of Ridiculous Shit a.k.a. the Lying Game. This weekend I convinced Shayla that Maya Angelou wrote a poem about the taint called “Taint the butt, Taint the balls”, but she called bullshit when I couldn’t keep a straight face. She gets mad at me for doing stuff like that because she thinks it means I think she’s stupid. She’s not stupid, just sensitive.

I can’t tell her right then that I don’t think she’s stupid, because then she accuses me of just saying that to make her feel better.

So instead I just let it drop and waited a few hours, then called her up and told her I think she’s beautiful and interesting and sexy and the best singer I have ever known, all of which is true. That made her feel good.

What makes me feel good is that I talked to my lawyer, and I’m not going to jail. Woop! He got the charge busted down on a technicality, so I’m free as a bird. Yay for my rock and roll lawyer with the big red beard! Thank jesus, because my sister is getting married this weekend and if I were in jail and not able to attend my mom would kill me dead.

And that would be a pisser.

look see

Okay people. I’ve been working hard on this so take a look

Who am I?

Well, I’m James Clark Hodgson, Jr. I’m a musician and writer, and this is a webpage I started as an online diary on diaryland.com two years ago. I decided to move it off of there because I wanted to use Moveable Type and be able to stream mp3′s and whatnot as well.

I write entries several times a week about the crazy people I live with and play gigs with, and the stupid shit I tend to do out in the big wide world. I live in a big crackhouse in Atlanta GA with 6 other musicians, and we like to get shitfaced and play instruments and fall down. Surely at least one of us will make it someday. Hope it’s me!

This could be thought of as a text documentary of my efforts to become famous or widely read enough to not have to work at a day job and just write and record music all the time. You can help me by telling your friends about me, or by getting yourself a copy of whatever CD or short novel I am pimping at the time.

I don’t expect to ever be a superstar, nor do I particularly want to. I’ve had a passion for this one goal throughout my whole life, though, and by god I will get there some day, with your help.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you get a laugh out of it. If not, I hope you get the shits. Just kidding, I hope you choke. Haha, no, really, the shits.

Your friend,
Jim Hodgson
