WOULD YOU BELIEVE...

WHEN I SAW THE FILM "THE ARTIST" I NOTICED THE ACTRESS HAD A BEAUTY MARK ON THE LEFT SIDE OF HER MOUTH, JUST LIKE ME, MINE IS SUBTLE AND I DON'T USE A PENCIL TO BRING ATTENTION TO IT, WHAT FOR? AND THEN WHEN I WENT TO A FAVORITE VITAMIN SHOP OF MINE THERE WAS A NEW GIRL THAT HAD BEEN HIRED NAMED "MARIA" WHO SPOKE ABOUT HOW SHE AND HER BOYFRIEND GO AWAY ON WEEK-ENDS AND SUCH AS I HAD AT ONE TIME...AND THE VITAMIN SHOP WHERE MARIA WILL BE IS IN SHERMAN OAKS... AND I WONDERED IF CEDARS WHICH IS WHERE MOST IF NOT ALL MY PAP SMEARS HAD TAKEN PLACE HERE IN LOS ANGELES A CEDARS AFFILIATE ON ROBINSON WITH DR. CHARLES (MY EX'S NAME KEEPS POPPING UP) AND ON LACIENEGA WHERE THEY TOOK TWO VILES OF BLOOD FROM ME AND ALSO DID A PAP, WITH THE EXCEPTION PERHAPS AFTER THE BEATING FROM THE LAPD AND THAT WAS AT HOLLYWOOD PRESBETERIAN HOSPITAL AND OH YES, I DID HAVE DR. PERRY AS MY GYNOCOLOGIST FOR AWHILE ON HOLLYWOOD BLVD WHERE THE EMERSON THEATRE NOW EXISTS... AND I WONDER HOW MANY OF THESE HOSPITALS ARE CULPABLE, IF ANY, IN SELLING MY PAP SMEARS AND MIXING IT UP WITH THOSE BELONGING TO OTHERS... SOMETHING I HADN'T THOUGHT ABOUT UNTIL I BEGAN DOING RESEARCH FOR MY NOVEL... AND I REMEMBER MY ALLEGED ITALIAN IRISH FRIEND WHO RAVED ABOUT THE SILENT FILM, GIVING NOT SO SUBTLE REFERENCES TO ME..."THE DOG THAT THEY WERE GOING TO KILL BECAUSE HE WAS TOO OLD"...AND ETC...SO WE'VE GOT LOTS OF CLEAN UP TO DO...AND AGAIN, I ALLEGE THIS MAY BE HAPPENING GLOBALLY...AND I HAVE TO KEEP REMINDING MYSELF THAT THERE ARE MORE GOOD PEOPLE IN THE WORLD THAN BAD...
