The Pez Outlaw Movie is on Peacockx & Amazon Prime.
My Mind woke to Chaos this morning.
What Time is it? Seriously What Time Is It?
The Enemies are at the Gates.
My Eyebrows are creeping down my Face.
Kathy reluctanty got her trim gear out n started clipping away in fear of cutting me.
So I started shaking her mildy, God knows why, seemed funny at the time to shake somebody with shears in there hands cutting around your eyes.
Told you the Bolchavics were at the gates.
Kathy said You're NUTS! I'm done.
Gotta be careful today, There is slippage, I'm Showing my slip a bit.
Reset my wrist watch, Crisis averted.
For NOW! I have Birdie Brain today.
One handed Clap, Woe that was close, Forgot to Duck.
The term 'Time To Bunny Up" started this past year when Matt Newman n arrived at Pezamania. It means we are here time to put the Bunny slippers on n become Pez Outlaw. We wear Bunny slippers because 25ish yrs ago the collective memory of Pez Outlaw was Him wearing Bunny Slippers.
So as someone recently said to me, Bunny Up Buttercup.
After a year n a half we have finnished The Pez Outlaw Movie.
My hope is that The Pez Outlaw movie strikes a cord with every body. I've been very careful to be someone everyone can like. 20yrs to craft the character of Pez Outlaw, I pray that I got him right.
I think a lot about how brief our time is here on earth, then none of this matters. Rich or poor, we are all the same when this reality ends. So I try to be a better person with each day I'm given . N when I think about a movie about me/ HIM, I don't take it to seriously & say well why not, It's all so unimportant anyway. The only thing that's important is to be the best version of you you can be. That's why I will never watch the movie n I catch a lot of grief for saying that. But How on God's Green Earth can I be the person I want to be if I pay attention to that/the movie. I have to look out, project who I am n hope people see me. Not watch myself.
We have been waiting for a specific moment before things can go forward with the Pez Outlaw Movie. That moment happened n it went unbelievably well. I feel like a little Kid again in the back of the station wagon. Are we there yet? All the hard work over the last 1.5 yrs by everyone involved has been vindicated.
It is very rare that you do something in your life n have nothing but good memories of it.
I'm at peace with everything now. Shooting the Pez Outlaw movie gave me closure. I honestly don't care what happens from here out. Nothing OK, Something OK.
I'm at peace. The Documentary is enough.
Shooting the Pez Outlaw Movie was nothing but Fun.
More than I ever coulda hoped for.
A very Big Thank you to Bryan n Amy Storkel, The Cast n crew for everything. Most of all for the good Memories.
One of the Themes in the Pez Outlaw Movie is Legacy.
My children n Grandchildren Know very little about my Father N Mother.
They n there children will now Know who there Great Grandfather n Mother were.
My hope is to leave a very large Legacy n a roadmap to our children.
Do the work n you will accomplish your dream.
That n Be kind to people.
Don't be lazy by resorting to shock value, Show you heart.
A Girl on the radio just sang a song about an old Boyfriend who Peaked in High School.
I don't think anybody would ever acuse me of that.
I might be peaking at 70+. God Willing.
While growing up all my friends were in a Blues Band, That's how n where all the drugs came into play. Heroine, Meth, LSD etc. Me I was just there friend an afterthought, while they tried to shine. The guy that was invisible. They all went on, I walked away, nobody ever expected anything of me.
My journey had just begun.
JUST REALIZED I NEED TO AMEND THIS>
That's when I met Kathy after a stint in rehab n believe it or not being rejected by rehab n the loonie bin.
Kathy took my hand n my life began.
I believe all of this will make more sense to you once you've seen the movie. I hear Kathy is the real star of the thing. As it should be.
A little Bird told me that the early notes were, We want more of Kathy.
Nobody asked, But I'm gonna pretend that they did.
Why don't you do more conventions or gatherings besides Michigan or Pezamania?
Well I'm poor n don't really sell as a dealer so I can't afford it.
I have obligations here on the farm, to leave even once or twice a year is a very big deal.
I do not have a drivers license n Kathy does not want to do that type thing anymore, so Matt or Moriah or somebody must disrupt there life to take me.
N this is the BIG One! Did you know that during the Movie shoot Audrey had to keep a giant bottle of tums handy at all times because my stomach got so messed up. Same at Pezamania, Matt had to feed me tums like Chiklits.
I love all of you n truly enjoy myself but It's a very big shock to my routine n system to go out into the world.
Kathy took me to Menards for roof repair material. Success we got what we needed. The second we got in the truck we said OK enough of the Big Ole World, Let's Go Home.
It may not suprise you but I come in each day n work as hard as I did Before The Movie.
I have not let up one bit. It's Like I still don't believe that it's true.
A hard learned lesson from 5yrs ago. Had the Contract with Warner Brothers n was told to relax n let the professionals handle it from here.
Well they flamed out, But Luckily I hadn't listened n created Notes From The Asylum which heavily influence where we are today.
Trust but Keep Working.
Wanna hear something Nutty?
I've got a lot of weird stuff left.
Alien Umbrellas, n you name it.
After 30yrs of selling I'm just losing interest in selling.
People contact me saying "Oh I'll buy all the Ren n Stimpy".
In My head I say Oh sure you will, It's a Ton.
I find myself just not caring anymore.
The old Joke about ebay was people who are just showing there stuff, not really selling it.
Guilty, With cereal Boxes, I've been listing them for 20yrs just to promote Cereal Box collecting. Only half caring if I ever sold any.
Oh God! Does that make me a Hoarder just pretending to sell stuff to justify having all this crazy stuff that I love?
After the Pez Outlaw Movie Comes Out, I see a large Good Will Truck in my driveway to haul a bunch of this stuff away.
Almost forgot to tell you.
I discovered my SUPERPOWER.
Procrastination/wasting my n other's time.
N telling stories.
Notice how I made them appear to be 2 different things?
I've noticed a trend lately.
There seems to be a group of folks who want to tell us older people how to dress/hair styles etc.
Someone, Well I guess me, need to tell them that we do not care what they think.
We have lived long lives n the only benefit is Like Candy the Dog we have earned the right to dress as we like n hunt Goblins in the brush pile.
To be honest your self proclained authority is just Tiresome.
Bless Your Hearts.
My friends just keep gettin younger.
Heaven Help Me, I'm just trying to finnish before my time is Done.
Everybody seems to wanna talk about Die'n, While I'm to busy Livin.
The past Keeps wanting to talk to me n I got work to do.
I have no reverence for the past, I'm just a story teller.
I knew these folks were comin, Just didn't figure that it would be so soon.
I am 70yrs old, but I was Born in 1994 when I met My Pez Friends.
signed, Pez Outlaw
