Listen Up, Tater Head! #pezoutlaw

Please Watch My Emmy Winning Movie, The Pez Outlaw on Amazon Prime & Peacock. 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Best actor at SXSW.

It's My Story.


 One of the personalities in my head is called Tater Head. 
 Conversation go like this.

The world does not revolve around you.
Yes it does.
Our individual perception of the world around us is our reality.
Our reality ends when that light goes out.

Your reality may continue but mine ends when I end.
What in the hell am I supposed to do with that?
Find peace of mind within that truth, Tater Head.

That does not mean, do as you please because only you matter.
I assume you have a conscience.
You have got a conscience, right Tater Head.

Well that means you need to maintain the best balance possibly while your steam of conscience exist.
Otherwise you live in torment of your choices.
Not a good beginning for the possible future.

Ok, so for now What?
For me it's writing my own story.
For all of us I think this is true, In my case literally in yours maybe figuratively.
If we don't write our own story, others will definitely write it for us.

Work in progress.
I got part of it, the rest?

After Pez Outlaw, I intend to retire.

A Simple Act Of Kindness #pezoutlaw

 

Please Watch My Emmy Winning Movie, The Pez Outlaw on Amazon Prime & Peacock. 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Best actor at SXSW.

It's My Story.


For years now I've been telling you stories about Busta the horse. Two things you may not know. One Busta was actually not my horse, his real mom was Andrea Keeney Cypher.  Busta was only my best friend. Which brings me to the second thing. Busta n I shared a personality type in that we are both a good bit off center, so we understood each other.

As you all know Busta Horse passed late last winter. Not a day goes by that something doesn't remind me of my friend. Not the least of which was that I could trust him to just follow Marnie Marie n I into the barn, then just go to his stall all by Himself. Mind you Busta did like to go garage sale ing on his way into the barn, but then again who in there right mind wouldn't. You could just talk to Busta, common buddy put that down, time to go in.

Busta was also an escape artist. No stall could hold him if he got bored. A bit of a Houdini-horse. It took a latch, a second latch, a cable snap n a rope to tie his stall door shut n he could udo 3 of them when he wanted to. Now you gotta admire that in someone, horse or mere man.

Ole Red is trying to fill his shoes but they are awful big. He keeps company with Marnie Marie now. Every night in Busta's Honor I still connect his cable tie on his gate when red goes in, the only latch Busta couldn't crack. I do this to honor Busta n remember him.

A simple act of Kindness compels me write this.

Ilona Schlafer sent me this sketch n painting of our dear friend.





We will have the painting matted n framed, then it will take a place of honor in the horse clubhouse. Ilona Schlafer, we deeply appreciate the gift, you made kathy cry n touched my heart,

A Simple Act Of Kindness

Thank You, everyone that sees it will remember him once again n if I'm lucky I'll get to tell them one of his stories.

Busta n I were Kindred Spirits

chatterbox. Gigglebot. I Know You Are, But What Am I? #pezoutlaw

Please Watch My Emmy Winning Movie, The Pez Outlaw on Amazon Prime & Peacock. 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Best actor at SXSW.

It's My Story.


chatterbox

I just passed 127,000 tweets on twitter.

Here I am this morning thinking that I've become kinda Stoic.
A person of few words.
Along comes Kathy with truth.
Are you kidding, you talk a lot.

Shows ta go ya.
Your impression of who you are can be ridiculously wrong.
So I'm a chatterbox.
Now I gotta get used to that.

I know I empty my mind here.
In direct contrast when I run the films.
I see a yup, nope, ain't that somethin guy.
Coulda knocked me over with a feather.

Honestly though, it does not bother me.
My impression of who I am is the face I present to the world.
I don't feel your self image has to be accurate.
You just have to like it. 

If I wanted accuracy I'd look in a mirror.
I do not, I avoid mirrors.
Why mess with the beauty n perfection my mind has created.
Reality is poorly written n not all it's cracked up to be.

A good example.
Kathy lies to me, she only tells me what I need to hear.
At that sometimes minutes before I need to hear it.
It's the way I like it.

My brother once told me, you know she's lying to you.
Really pissed me off at him.
You fool, Kathy is the keeper of truth.
Do you think for a minute this isn't at my request.

I don't care much for reality.
Yes I watch the "News", but it's just a TV show.
Yes I like Wynonna Earp – Show | Syfy , Zombies are funny. 
I just don't look in mirrors n truth is Fungible.

We meander about through my mind daily.
In contrast I'm a very private person.
What I do here seems outside reality.
No idea how to explain that.

Somehow I feel that what I do here is private.
That all of you are observers yet not intruders into my life.
I share the crazy for fun.
Out of a need to expel thought.

Real people, no thanks.
The internet though was made for me.
Casual n non interactive if you prefer.
One or two line responses, only if n when you choose.

A poor analogy is, writing for me is like taking the trash out.
I enjoy the process, writing allows me an outlet for my creative side.
When I write I have an endless supply of crayons n paper.
What more could a guy want.

I love the follows n views.
They allow me to know when I got a thought right.
I suppose I do strive to get the words right.
I don't live n die for it but it does help pass the time n give a sense of purpose.

I say that I'm in the asylum.
Which for me is a very frustrating waiting room.
I write to help pass the time.
I wait for word of my release from 15 years purgatory.

I teeter on the edge of sanity every moment of every day.
Some days I lose, mostly though I keep it at 51% sane.
Recently I wrote about going back to 98 n changing this.
Dreams that sooth.

That said my writing I hope gives merit to the struggle. 
Pez Outlaw makes 1998 have value.
Notes from the Asylum I hope gives the last 15 years value.
If something good comes from these things then, just maybe it was worth it.

I'm a scab picker.
I just keep picking at it.
Hoping to find truth.
Failing that, peace of mind.

This is a journey.
One that I've decided to share.

Gigglebot

G1ggLE8O7 is my new password on everything. I tried to be as clever as I could so nobody would guess it. You can't be to careful, ya know.



Gigglebot
Laughter
Kathy on her knees giggling so hard that I feared she was having a stroke.

24hrs earlier
Prepped a lunchbox and put it on the tailgate of the truck for Terry our postal lady to pick up.
Unfortunately Kathy had to go to Meijers before Terry got here.
I went outside just in time to see the box going down the road, very soon to be on the side of the road somewhere.

Next day
Re-Packed the lunchbox again and placed it on the ground at the entrance to the garage in an effort to avoid a repeat of yesterday.
Kathy promptly drove over the package.
Terry pulls in and Kathy is on her knees uncontrollably giggling about it.

2 down, 4 to go
I repacked a new box
3rd times the charm, right.

2 days later
Terry our postal lady or as the dogs call her Aunt Terry texts us.
A homeowner found the 1st box (the one that flew off the back of the truck somewhere between here n Meijers) she'd bring it by.

Just re-watched the Jim Carey UPS Delivery video.
Ours was better.
Neither rain, nor sleet or stupid customers will stop Terry in her appointed rounds.

It sorta writes itself.
I watch life unfold bewildered by the script.
I ask jeff the writer n dk the producer, hey guys What's My Motivation!
I need to know why the character does this stuff?

Can I go back to bed now?

Here's the difference between being Redneck and White Trash.
A Redneck hides his losing scratchers.


I followed a squirrel on twitter Today.
It was the polite thing to do.

If this moment, the day I was born and the day I die are indistinguishable.
It brings up the possibility that "reality" is just another form of dream state.
Toying with that thought lately, wondering how to control events better.

It's that recent notion that time is actually different than we perceive it.
I wonder if we create the obstacles we think that we must overcome.
Just trying to think if there's a way to rewrite my script.

To that thought I'm making some changes.
New cover and personal images.
I want to brighten things up with a more positive feel.
I realized lately that I instinctively avoid dark presentations on the internet, then came the dawn that I was presenting myself exactly in the manner that I avoid.
Well then, possibly we better change that.
If you have any other suggestions you can contact me on twitter

After Pez Outlaw, I intend to retire.

The World Is Scary #pezoutlaw


The World Is Scary, What can I do?

Each new day is a gift, live it well. Behave personally in a proper responsible manner.
We all share this collective illusion of immortality.
It's the don't ask, don't tell of life itself.
We all act out each day like this isn't temporary.
With family, friends and people you meet, keep any angry, aggressive or hateful thoughts to yourself.
Down South they have a way of dealing with rude people. They just say Bless Your Heart n politely move on.
Remember, in life almost always the things that you do not say are more important than the things you do say.
Be quick with a handshake, a hug or a kind word.

Me, I also tell a lot of stories about animals.
How kind n loving the horses n dogs are.
I love to point out the progress each are making.

Crazy one.
Yesterday Billy dog was barking at Roz/horse. Roz was grabbing at an uncut bale. Billy is beginning to have an opinion about that n things. Nat/Kathy's protege, scolded Billy. You know hardly ever wrong to tell Billy to knock it off.
I explained, not in recrimination, more lawyering for Billy.
I'm kinda going slow letting Billy have her head, letting her get some thoughts, then my hope is over time to guide her thoughts in useful directions.
So long as Billy is only barking I'm OK.

Sometimes like a child when the world is scary what people need is a good story.
Crazy/weird helps.

Yes I could be justifiably accused of hiding in my world from one I can not change.
But if each of us led good decent lives wouldn't that take care of a lot of it.
Beyond that all you can do is vote your conscience.


Kathy is the one that goes out into the world, I stay home.
But isn't everyone always sayin that you should leave your dog at home.
Anyway. My head is better today. I don't seem to suck as much.


Enough of world news for today. I'm tuning to Willie's Roadhouse till Billy Dog says it's chore time. 

One final thought. There are to many terrorists in the world n not enough Story Tellers.

After Pez Outlaw, I intend to retire.

NUTAMANIA 2021 #Peacock #prime

 



2020 had no nuts/ NUTAMANIA 2021
So Keep Your Hands Off My Can Mary.
Stold that last line from Ilona Stevens

Baby Puddin
I know we all suffered in 2020
What you may not know is that it was a really bad year for Pudddin.
NO, SQUIRELs in 2020! OH The Humanity.
2020 was to Puddins horror a non walnut year.
Nut trees don't make nuts every year n you guessed it 2020 had no nuts.
Which means the Squirels went elsewhere.
Every morning Puddin went to the window to see her squirel buddies, but every morning in 2020 they were not there.
Great NEWS! 2021 is a bumper nut year.
Puddin will have a pile of walnuts 6 feet tall, she's talking about having a Nutamania Convention, tshirts, pins, hats the works.
The only problem is we gotta get Puddin a tiny hard hat, Those nuts hurt when they fall n hit you.
Rejoyce America our long Winter is over, 2021 is Gonna Be Nuts.
Puddin plans to sell tickets at the gate to her pen for NUTAMANIA!
Are you Gonna Be There?

*******************

SERIOUSLY? Now the label printer won't print labels. Todays fresh hell.
I need my support Cat. Birdie, Birdie?

Now we're in trouble, MOM JUST RAN AWAY!
This Monday is NUTs!

Last nights Building off the grid.
Guy was building a smart house, everything voice activated n High tech.
ARE YOU CRAZY? Just more stuff to break or needing a 12yr old to fix it.
I want the old days with Knobs n switches. Cars are even worse, I want a brand new 1947 Ford Pickup. When engines made sense.
One good pulse from the sun n we are all in the dark ages again. But that 1947 pickup will still purr like a kitten.
Rant sponsored by "Notes From The Asylum".

Remember that guy with the bushy eyebrows who used to rant about everything on 60 minutes. I think I channel him a bit.



Bam Bam. One good whack or 2 n my technology problems go away.

Pez Outlaw, Whoopie Pie, Whoopie Pie #Peacock #Prime

The Pez Outlaw Movie is on Peacock & Amazon Prime.


 

Something happened today, It reminded me of the Marx Brothers.
The Marx Brothers started out in vaudville, there 1st 3 movies were Plays that they had worked on n performed Live for years n years. They used this method with a lot of there later work also, so by the time it came to filming they knew what worked n what did not.
I have done the same thing with my blogs, twitter n facebook.
I watch all the numbers, shave n refine accordingly.
Shaping the Pez Outlaw character. It's not about changing the story, it's about knowing what to emphasize n what is boring stuff.
Another key ingredient is that people like the character, his family n his friends.
I call this the NCIS rule. The plot line is just a device, why these people are together in the 1st place. Thing is you don't really care who killed who. The part you are there for is Gibs, Tonie, Zeva n Timmy' there interactions there stories.
I never told Bryan how or what. I simply brought the story to life n paid attentin to what works n what does not in my writing.
How many shows do you watch for a decade if you do not like or love the characters.
One Final thing is things change, when they do you must adapt quickly. Something you were working on as a hobby or for yourself AKA Notes From The Asylum. Can be your best work. If you are paying attention, you move it forward as your new showcase for your work. Mind you only the 1st haf of it is say good, But the bottom half has bits n pieces.

The News!????

I hear Texas is really nice in March.
I need to polish up my other pair of Pink Boots, Becky got the Movie ones
That guy on standby at the airport just a waiting for the Big go.
We lost him.
Ed McMann will not be bringing me one of his BIG Checks this year, 2021.
N The Vulcan High Council still says Time Travel is impossible.

2022 looks like it's gonna be a blast.
How is that possible, Covid n all?
Easy I never went anywhere before Covid, So My Life has not changed at all.
Oh yeah, Howie n I washed our hands a LOT already, Like since Forever.

Jim Blaine, Tina Christison Gunsauls
Am I coming to The Michigan Pez Convention Or Pezamania?
Both?
Kathy has trained everybody good, don't tell him anything till the very last minute. He does not need to know. Just gets him all riled up/panicked.
Did you notice? I trimmed my beard to get this News Reader Job.


Mom/Darlin Girl/Kathy was not pleased.
She said no swinging at Wasp Nests like a Pinata today.
OOOOOOH! that gave me an idea.
Shoulda been a bat in the Drawing?
Art is Hard.


Editorial

The Toned down version

From out here, we all figure Hollywood wines n dines perspective properties.
It's the irony of our perception of Hollywood n the reality I'm actually talking about.

When someone tape records/interviews me.
My words are from my writing,

If NOTHING happens after the Documentary, I'm at peace with that.
The Documentary will be enough.
I will support this Documentary in any way I'm asked.
Beyond that I just don't care anymore.
I had a lot of money once n it changed me, I really don't like him.

In Future.
Full acredidation for writing my story goes to me Steven J Glew aka Pez Outlaw.
Then we talk.

Honestly none of us know how much time we have left.
This is also about my grandchildren. I don't want to be stupid n let there heritage just get washed away.

So if this means, nothing after the documentary.
At least my grandchildren will still own the character Pez Outlaw n my Writing.
I can live with that.
To My Children n Grandchildren, Be especially tough about the work n acredidation.
Also be a stickler about Merchandising. Low up front is fine, but get the pennies per. They matter.

let me put it another way
if i'd never written anything. would any of this be happening?

Oh well Whataya gonna do?
Sometimes you believe something with all your heart, But should you actually say it out loud?
I don't know the answer to that.
