IT'S FRIDAY, AGAIN?
I JUST HAD A DELICIOUS LEMON BAR SO DECADENT THAT I REACHED THE MAXIMUM DAILY CALORIE COUNT (2000), BUT WELL WORTH IT...IT WAS THE CASUAL EATERY ATTACHED TO THE WEST HOLLYWOOD LIBRARY...DELICIOUS AND AFFORDABLE.
I KNOW THIS IS A DEPARTURE FROM MY USUAL RHETORIC WHICH SOME SAY IS TOO HARSH...WHICH IS EASY TO SAY FOR SOME...BUT UNTIL YOU STROLL AROUND IN MY BEDROOM SLIPPERS, WHICH I CAN'T EVEN GET TO AT THE MOMENT BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHY...
I'M DYING TO HAVE MY HAIR DONE AND MAKE UP APPLIED JUST FOR KICKS SINCE I'M NOT DATING AT THE MOMENT, FOR OBVIOUS REASONS...BUT I HOPE AND I BELIEVE THAT MANY HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO SIMILAR AND EVEN WORSE TREATMENT THAN I HAVE...
ONE OF THE MAIN INCONVENIENCES IS NOT BEING ABLE TO GET UP AND SHOWER AND SHAMPOO AND YOU KNOW HOW THE SONG GOES,..."TERRIBLE THE WAY THEY DO MY THING"...SO TRUE...SO MANY ARTISTS HAVE BEEN MANHANDLED AND MISTREATED AND YET WE BELIEVE THAT THINGS WILL ALWAYS GET BETTER...WHICH THEY ARE, ALL OVER THE WORLD...
AND THIS IS OUR JOB TO MAKE IT BETTER FOR OTHERS AND WE ARE GRATEFUL THAT YOU ALLOW US THAT PRIVILEGE BECAUSE WE ARE YOU AND YOU ARE US AND WE STAND TOGETHER, UNITED, WITH AMAZING POWER...WE ARE AN UNSTOPPABLE FORCE...
WHEN A FRIEND MENTIONED THAT HE WAS TEACHING I HAD NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT HIM AS A TEACHER THOUGH HE HAD ALWAYS BEEN PATIENT WITH ME AND HELPED ME WHEN I HAD TO LEARN THAT DEVILISH AFLAC PITCH...WHICH I COULDN'T HAVE DONE WITHOUT HIM GIVING ME HIS QUIET IN PUT...
AND IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED I AM NOT THE MOST QUIET INDIVIDUAL THAT YOU'LL EVER MEET...BUT THIS IS WHAT ARTISTS DO...WE TEACH AND WE WATCH AND WE LISTEN AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE CARING ENOUGH TO REACT TO OUR MISCHIEF WE ARE GRATEFUL...AND MOST PEOPLE EVEN PHILISTINES HAVE A THREAD OF ARTISTIC ENDEAVOR INSIDE THEM THOUGH THEY MAY NEVER ADMIT IT, UNLESS THEY'RE THREATENED WITH BEING BEHEADED...
...AND I WISH TO THANK MY PRODUCER, PERSONAL FRIENDS WHO READ ALOUD THE GLOBAL SPEECH ALLOWING ME TO LISTEN AND HEAR IT IN AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT WAY. I THANK YOU AND THAT'S WHY ARTISTS ARE SO VERY IMPORTANT, BECAUSE THEY MAKE WRITERS SOUND BETTER THAN THEY REALLY ARE.
THANK YOU.
