21 Months is the amount of time I’ve LIVED in America, since my 13.5 year Asian hiatus. From 1996 - 2009, any time I spent in the US was vacation time. And I couldn’t wait to get home to the other side of the Pacific Ocean!
We are at present in August 2011. One year ago, my first book, Culturebook was published. One might say, in keeping with the Kinko’s is not a publisher spirit, that my book was barely a notch above Kinkos! That may be true. I did self-publish my book, which any fool with 1800 dollars and a computer can do, but I was pleased with the outcome. It takes a wise fool, or sophmore, to churn out 275 pages that is a notch above drivel. Those few who have read my Culturebook have enjoyed it, I hear. Most people who have started my book have finished it; so as a reader, that says a lot. Only one person has told me, “If it weren’t YOU who wrote the book, I would’ve stopped reading.”
Furthermore, if anyone should desire a copy, I have plenty left. I see copies, boxes of them, everyday, in my home. I like that. My book is truly underground. While many can discount my Culturebook as NOT REALLY PUBLISHED, I’ve read a mountain of books in my life and while mine is worthy of severe criticism and possible lashings, I think it is as enjoyable as the best of them in its genre. Culturebook looks like a book, reads like a book. I’m happy with what I have created.
Here is my point: I’ve been back in LA for 21 months now, back Living in America like the James Brown song, and I still have no steady job or steady girl. Really there is nothing steady about my life. I’m free, living off the fat of the family. My responsibilities are minimal and I have entire days free and clear with nothing pressing and nowhere I need to be. How do I feel about that?
Other than the fact that I'm not getting any, as the expression goes, I’d say everything is fine. Still, I see my lack of female companionship more along the lines of: no women = no stress. No bills to pay equals no stress; and with no money it's hard to date, so I just accept my life, which is easy to do. I’m trying to keep my life in this no-stress-zone for as long as I can. Like all things, my current lap of luxury, comfortable life is sure to end. One day in the not to distant future, my heated pool and workless days will be gone like the wind, like my former cushy life in Asia.
At this time, I consider myself a student. I may not ‘work’ for a living, but I feel as though, if I were to get a job, I would be wasting a valuable opportunity. And what is that opportunity? The opportunity to write a great novel! I haven’t written fiction in years. I prefer documentary films to dramas these days as well. Perhaps that says something about dramas currently being made, so many remakes of classics.
Still, as a writer of non-fiction, I see writing fiction as a challenge. I've learned to play drums like my idol Keith Moon in the last 21 months, I can write a Pulitzer Prize winning novel. Gotta dream big... I’m currently reading Gone With the Wind, which I’ve never read before. I’ve never even seen the movie! I don’t know the plot line. I know the line, “Frankly Scarlett, I don’t give a damn!” from the movie. I know there is a scene where Rhett Butler, played by Clark Cable, removes his shirt, and he’s not wearing any undershirt. I know this because my parents would often mention that scene to me. According to my father, “Audiences gasped at that!”
This scene was relevant because, as a child, I did not like wearing an undershirt. I still don’t, which caused me to stand out even more than I already did, working in South Korea, cuz there, every single man in every single school or office wears an undershirt. I’m sure America was the same, once upon a time. My mother used to tell me, “Who do you think you are, Clark Cable?” Culture makes people do peculiar things.
So far, I really enjoy Margaret Mitchell’s story-telling. She is really descriptive. After 12 pages, I can totally see Scarlet O’hara. I know exactly what she looks like: that she is a green-eyed beauty with ample bosom and child-rearing hips (Mitchell never actually uses that expression); that she is petty, impetuous and conniving.
The copy I am reading is a paperback published in 1970, 41 years ago and 34 years after it was first published. It is 862 pages of thin, really small print, and a tad fragile, so I must be ginger with it. I know I should be out looking for a date, or a job, but I’m a student and I have to do my homework. My homework is reading this book, taking notes – there are so many words and phrases new to me, like the exclamations You can just Go to Hallifax! instead of Go to Hell! and God’s Nightgown! which I think is actually Irish, like Scarlett’s planter father. A Planter is what they called Plantation owners, which doesn't really make sense since the 'field hands' did all the planting, and all the picking. After the ravage of Georgia, when Scarlett is left to run Tara Plantation after all the field hands have fled, even Mammy and the other house slaves feel that field work is beneath them.
On the subject of dating – If I were to meet a girl, say today, or any day for the last 21 months, I could totally use the George Costanza line, “My name is George. I’m unemployed and I live with my parents.” Except my father is dead and my name is not George.
Ellen’s life was not easy, nor was it happy, but she did not expect life to be easy, and if it was not happy, that was woman’s lot. It was a man’s world, and she accepted it as such. The man owned the property, and the woman managed it. The man took the credit for the management, and the woman praised his cleverness. The man roared like a bull when a splinter was in his finger, and the woman muffled the moans of childbirth, lest she disturb him. Men were rough of speech and often drunk. Women ignored the lapses of speech and put the drunkards to bed without bitter words. Men were rude and outspoken, women were always kind, gracious and forgiving. – Ellen is the mother of Scarlett O’Hara
I’m very much enjoying Gone With the Wind. After 5 days I just hit page 400. Half-way home. It is their Southern Comfort way of Life that is gone with the wind… Drama is about people changing. Scarlett begins the novel a dainty, spoiled brat; and in the last hundred pages, she delivered her sister-in-law's baby AND she just shot a Yankee in the face killing him right in her living room. A lone Union Soldier entered her house alone, intent on robbing them and probably raping her. Before he has the chance to do or say anything, BANG! Then she takes her sister-in-law Melanie's top to wrap the head in, so blood won't drip on the lawn and alert people of the killing, as she drags the corpse into the yard to bury it, while Melanie covers her breasts in shame, after they riffled through his pockets and retrieved a wallet full of Union Greenbacks, Confederate Bills and gold coins. I wonder if that's going to be in the movie.
I've got 400 pages to go! I can't remember the last time I was this excited. I can't wait to create a novel somewhere in the ball park of Gone with the Wind.
It's Saturday night. I just took a break to watched Paul McCartney on Saturday Night Live with Paul Rudd hosting. It was a repeat from last year 2010.
The Beatles changed music and helped shape a generation. Lots of musicians and artists and writers ‘changed the world’, such as Elvis, John Lennon, James Brown, and others. They are all dead. On Saturday Night Live, Paul McCartney and his band played more than 4 songs, unheard of on Saturday Night Live, but given SNL’s recent dearth of decent material, it wasn’t such a bad idea. They performed Jet, Band on the Run, A Day in the Line, which segued into Give Peace a Chance which ended with the crowd singing along with just drums; and the closing credits rolled over the band doing Get Back.
Paul McCartney turns 70 next year and he can still rock like a youth. Keith Moon, born four years after McCartney, died when he was only 32. I only mention this because Moon spent his last evening alive on this Earth with the McCartney’s.
Moon had been a resident of Los Angeles, but he and his girlfriend Annette flew to London to be McCartney’s guest at the British premier of The Buddy Holly Story, a great 1978 movie starring Gary Busey as the Lubbock, Texas rocker. Buddy Holly is another musician who changed the face of music; and who is also no longer with us.
After the movie, Moon and Annette dined with the McCartney’s in Covent Garden. Then each couple retired to their respective flats. Moon and Annette were staying in the house of Harry Nilsson. Moon had been prescribed Clomethiazole to counter his alcohol withdrawals, on account of he was ‘trying to quit’ booze. The coroner found 32 pills in his system – 26 undigested. The 6 digested pills had been enough to kill him.
Paul McCartney is a well-known marijuana smoker. If a pot smoker can spend 50 years of his life on stage making music that touches lives so deeply as to shape generations, how can pot not be legal? To think that 47 years ago this year, Paul McCartney playing alongside John Lennon and George Harrison and backed by Ringo Starr on drums, first came to America and played the Ed Sullivan Show and Carnegie Hall in February 1964. They’d been touring the UK, on stage nearly every night the entire year 1963.
