Another freezing night in my car. My cell phone battery has died. I parked in front of a pizza shop and noticed an electrical outlet on the brick wall and plugged my laptop in so I could use the USB to charge the phone. There is some kind of neon light in the window of the store that looks to be shorting out and everything around me has a sort of a cobalt blue quality. While I like this color I seem to be suffering from some sort of eye fatigue. Maybe this is some kind of security light to repel homeless people, or maybe it's like some giant bug zapper and I'm getting too close. When I look at the light I can actually see the veins that are inside my eyeballs.
Had a pretty sweet night with friends! I got free food, fresh homemade cookies, hugs, kisses, chlorophyll... Now I'm back in my car, but with a full belly and a warm heart!
I was just nodding off earlier and thought I should get out of my pants, so I wiggled and wiggled and got my jeans down to my ankles before I realized, "Cheese and Rice! I forgot, I'm sleeping in my car!”
How would I have explained that to the police officer?
"Mister Lentz I'm gonna have to ask you to take this Breathalyzer Test. Now I want you to put this tube in your mouth!"

"Mister Lentz, it says here on your drivers license that you wear glasses!"
"But Officer, I have CONTACTS!"
"Mister Lentz, I don't care who you know, I'm hauling your ass in!"

I was watching a mother possum and her five babies trying to figure out how to get into the dumpster last night. She turned and stared right at me through my windshield. I can't help but think their faces look just like the description some abductees give of aliens.
Going to try and park in the same place see if I can see the possum family again. They might be my new friends! Maybe they're really aliens and can take me away.
I know there's only a few days left for Xmas shopping and people are still asking me for an address to send me something, but really an email is fine. Many are using Paypal to send money gifts, that's sweet and so useful, but please, let's try and keep those gifts under $100! It does mean a lot to me, but there's no way I can return the favor at this time. If you choose to gift me with funds please use the donate button at the top right side of my website.

"The air is clean. Your skin is clear. I've had enough of hangin' round here. Saw me calling love, somewhere deep inside. Saw me calling you, somewhere I can hide. And time is a string of pearls. See the future just hanging there. And you crave a new perspective looking down on my objectives. New instructions, whatever their directions. It's all right, one day I'll be back. Yeah, I hope I remember where it's at. Oh, see me slide. Won't you take me back there? Zooming in, zooming out. Nothing I can do about it. A lens to see it all up close. Magnifying what everybody knows."
I've stayed at the Million Dollar Hotel. I do think of that sad place when I hear this song, but I also think about standing alone at the end of the pier in Ventura at 2am above crashing waves and screaming out to heaven and the darkness the name of the girl I've always loved and wondering if she'd take me back.
