I've never claimed to be a genius or any sort of an artist.
I'm just one voice among many.
Pez Outlaw

One day you wake to happiness.
That doesn't change the misery of the day before.
All is forgiven, The Happy Lie.

Sanity

Hold your thoughts close
Scared of what you want

The Truth
Another's perception

Eternity, a moment in time
Light or Darkness

Chase the dream
Scorn the reality

Understanding nothing
Caring less

The Dream


Get to what matters.
A life worth writing about.

Pricing the heart.
Renowned, some say expert.

Fix the machine.
Connect to the future.

Eat obscurity, morn it's loss.
Be Self-proclaimed.


The one thing that causes me pause about my own sanity is my unbelievable optimism in Pez Outlaw.

WARNING!
Be very careful talking with your hands when your eyes are closed, no telling what you'll run into. 


Edumacated

Urban Dictionary: Edicate

www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Edicate

Edicate is when you're not edumacated enough to spell etiquette!

I'd like to let you in on a secret.
When writing here in Notes From The Asylum I google words all the time.
Before I started writing in NFTA I was a spoken word kinda guy.
I used all sorts of words in conversation.

It's one thing to use words talking n generally know the usage of a word.
When you start writing you gotta spell that shit n you dam sure better use it correctly.
So I look em up.

I used the reference above as my perfect illustration of that point because it was spot on.
I did try to use Etiquette by spelling it Edicate.
I found the search information delightfully humorous.
So much so that I built this post around it.

Did you notice I said built not wrote.
Kinda interesting slip, huh.
Does that mean I actually look at writing like Building n words are tools?

Like one of my many heroes Groucho Marx I'm a self educated 65yr old man who tries to never stop learning.
At age 43 I doubt I'd ever read a whole book due to dyslexia.
By the age of 52 I'd read several hundred books.
At age 52 I'd never really written anything.
Now at age 65 I've written Pez Outlaw Diary albeit poorly n Notes From The Asylum, much better.

During my decade as Pez Outlaw I was computer illiterate.
Now I do everything on the computer.
Change, learn n improve.
Not bad for a guy who in High School was in the slow kids class (Dyslexia, wasn't understood back then).

The Remington Diet #pezoutlaw #hollywood
Body By Remington.

You may have figured out from my posts here that I killed my riding mower.
I'm trying to figure out what you'd call that, maybe Lawn Mowercide?

Here's the thing n you know that's always the case, ie that there's a thing about almost everything.
I treat lawn mowers rough.
I've been on this piece of land 42 yrs n I've never managed to have a decent yard year to year.
By the nature of my life, every year I start over when it comes to my yard.
10 to 12 inch ruts from taking hay round, people park in n turn around in my yard.
Oh yeah n horses walk everywhere.
I long ago gave up on having a lawn like my neighbor Tod.

So every year I start out new.
My mower hits rocks limbs twigs n gravel on a regular basis.
My tires get poked by thorn apple needles so I fill them with goop.
My last riding mower was a Cub Cadet, bought it new n it lasted 5 seasons.
Cause of death, mower deck is shot n so is the pneumatic drive. 

The Cub Cadet didn't even finish it's 5th yr, so Kathy at my request bought me a $350 Remington walk behind mower.
My yard took 4hrs to mow on a riding mower n now takes roughly 7.5 hrs to mow walking.
I break this task up into 4 segments on 4 different days.

The good news is that because I'm now mowing my yard with a self-propelled walk behind mower instead of sitting on a riding mower, I've lost 1 inch on my waist.

The bad news is that that little bastard drags me all over the place n is wearing me out.

So far I've had 2 very kind friends (Susan n Laurie) offer to let me use there riding mowers.
I tell them, you do realize that my riding mower did not die a natural death.
I killed it, I always do.
I'm a cereal/serial Killer of lawn mowers.
As a matter of fact I kill any type of gas powered engine.
Just a fact, not something I'm proud of.

I will say this though.
I had a Scott garden tractor that lasted almost 12yrs with even worse treatment.
The cub cadet lasted 4.8yrs.

This post was supposed to be about the virtues of exercise n walking instead of sitting n riding.
I'm getting in decent shape for a 66yr old n I'm always going on to folks about "the Remington Diet".

After Pez Outlaw, I intend to retire.

Money won't make me happy??????
But, I'm Willin To Try Real Hard. 
somebody said that, but I'm stealin it. 

With just 1/3 of my items for sale back up on ebay (there was a PROBLEM), the value of that product is over $60,000.00. The only catch is that I need you to buy it. If you did, I guarantee you that I would indeed be very very happy.

I've worked over 10,950hrs on the Pez Outlaw project, which comes to almost 4yrs at 8hrs per day every day. 
The results so far are over 1million views of my work.

For lack of a better word, this image is original Pez Outlaw Art.
I've always loved images like this.
You can see all sorts of images in it.
The most obvious image is a Dog, but at different times you can see up to 3 or 4 others characters in it.

I've fooled around with this sort of thing for over 40yrs.
It's pointless but it amuses me.

I've used this post to go several places.
The last topic will be the launch of Pez Outlaw Blog.

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

I just watched a video of 2 guys messing with an alligator.
One held the tail while the other fool stuck his head in the mouth of the gator.
You guessed it, it did not go as expected.

Only a redneck would think that's a good idea.
Before you get all shirty on me, I'm a redneck so I can say that.

Problem was they thought they had that gator by the tail.

Life is a funny old thing.
folks think they got you just where they want you.
Then they are shocked when they get bit by the gator.

Best to figure out if you're the gator or the fools messing with a gator.

Yesterday someone asked me a question, well at least I thought they did.
Which brings me to my point.

If you ask me a question I will decide what I think, usually you will get an answer.
I do not understand people who can't make up there minds.
I've even met people who when faced with needing to decide actually look scared at the prospect.

Around here, we got a joke.
Whatcha Doin?
Long explanation.
Translation = Railing, you know against whatever you got.

After Pez Outlaw, I intend to retire.

Pez Outlaw Diary

Out Of Darkness #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.

ebay link to Pez Outlaw Collectibles.

https://www.ebay.com/.../Pez-Outlaw-By-sj-glew/_i.html...

When I woke this morning my head was just buzzing.
The thing that's missing in the Pez Outlaw story is, Why.
Not why did Pez Corp do what they did, but Why Pez Outlaw.
What led to him.

Makes me wish I had Jeff Maysh here at my side with his recorder so he could write it.
I guarantee this much.
When not if, Jeff n I do get together to write Pez Outlaw, we're going to rip it up.
My hope is that the end result will be the craziest thing you've ever seen or read.
Above all that you'll enjoy it n not be able to put the book down.

At the moment I don't so at a minimum I need to outline it.
What the story or rather Pez Outlaw Diary needs is a rewrite that de-emphasizes some things as what happened and emphasizes why.

I think defiance is at the core of it. An unwilling or inability to conform.
Literal out of darkness. see stories of being put in schoolroom closet in grade school.
see story of being put in the hole in county jail.
Metaphorically out of Darkness but not the core of it, Defiance was at the core.

A lifelong yearning to succeed at conflict with an inability to conform.
I sabotaged every opportunity of success.

I've never been able to do anything the easy way.
It's there, it's obvious, yet I always choose a different path.

I had the opportunity for a good job facilitated by my dad.
A job by the way that I'd be retired from years ago with a good pension.
I chose to go to the interview barefoot n defiant. ????

Instead I put those years in as a "Blacksmith" machinist/welder, 25 years.
No pension, no 401k, nothing.

My entire adult working life 1970-1995 was mostly economic lows within the US.
Only emphasizing the conditions that led to my willingness to do something crazy to achieve my dream.

In essence Pez Outlaw came out of the darkness.
My inability to conform in society, fed by crazy/isms. (OCD, Bipolar, Depression ect. tendencies on all)
Lower middle class childhood and the poor economic situation in the US, 1970-1995.
Both of these factors built the scenario where what I was about to do was something I was able and willing to do.

To summarize. My life experiences and mental outlook made something that seemed absurd to a normal person, appealing and doable.

That was the man and why he did what he did.
Now we get to the Creation of Pez Outlaw.

I created the character Pez Outlaw to put all of the baggage of over a decades labor and disappointment into so that I sj glew did not need or have to carry it around.
Pez Outlaw represents the opportunity lost of over 30 years of work.
Until I started writing Pez Outlaws story I had to carry around that loss every moment of every day.

Pez Outlaw was the light that showed me the way out of the darkness that followed my years with PEZ.

Because I was tired of doing things the hard way, I decided to trust Jeff Maysh and his people with my story.
Just once I decided to do things in the "normal" manner. An attempt to choose the obvious path.

To make the Pez Outlaw show better.
Like a Drive Time DJ I've got my cast of characters to elevate my show.
Zombies, Commie Pinko's, Baby Hitler, Seymour Butz, I P Freely and now a Crack Weasel.

After Pez Outlaw, I intend to retire.

Pez Outlaw Will Not Disappoint #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.

https://www.ebay.com/.../Pez-Outlaw-By-sj-glew/_i.html...

I Guarantee You That The Public Will Not be Disappointed In Pez Outlaw.
Half of my success selling Pez was showmanship.
The Public likes a Unique Character n I've almost got Pez Outlaw ready. 
I've been watching peoples reactions to me for almost 3 decades n tweaking the image. 
1994 to 2001's version was very successful but this, today's version is better.

I won't make finding Pez Outlaw easy, but that should only add to the character.
I realize that my window will be narrow, so I will need to work fast. 

Entertainment Weekly had a story about the hazards of Movies made about living people.
Living subjects sometimes hurt the movie.
Embarrass The Movie by saying wrong things.
Like the guy from the Walk who said "that's not how it happened".
First, Moron why in God's name would you do that?
In other cases the subject just weirdo's out on them.

The response of the family to the new Steve Jobs movie has also got to be very disappointing for the studio.
With all due respect to the Steve Jobs family, It's a movie. The only real worry should be were people entertained. If movies were 100% factual, nobody would go see them.

I fully support whatever story decisions are made regarding Pez Outlaw.
All I care about is that people are entertained.

First thing I was told was, go ahead n dial the crazy up.
I can do that.
Second. I told them, "I just do not care, Whatever sells".

I am not married to that one moment in time.
That decade of Pez Outlaw is not a shrine that I worship at.
There is a bigger picture n the movies success is a part of that. 
I've still got stuff to do. 
I need you n this movie to reboot.
So go crazy, have fun, I'll be over here cheering you on.

Based on the story n life of is perfectly fine with me.
You can do as you like with Pez Outlaw or me.
I'm only interested in your success with the character.
So feel free.
I will support you in whatever way is needed.

With 3 provisos.
I want a very massive body guard.
Point to point transportation.
Compress everything so I can go home quick as possible.

Your Servant
Pez Outlaw

After Pez Outlaw, I intend to retire.

Pez Outlaw, I Believe #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.

ebay link to Pez Outlaw Collectibles.

https://www.ebay.com/.../Pez-Outlaw-By-sj-glew/_i.html...

Destiny is the result of decades of hard work.You must be in the right place at the right time with the right idea, prepared to meet destiny.
Timing, Tick the right Boxes, meet the moment in time with the story that reflects the mood.
Will the audience identify with the character, does he reflect them?
Is the character likable, is he sympathetic?
Will the audience root for him to win?

My interests and what I've been compelled to do have met timing several times so far in my life.
Will Pez Outlaw be bigger than my Pez years themself, I don't know.
I do know If you wait for destiny unprepared, you will most likely die medicated.
Life hands you nothing, you must fight for what you want.

Don't think that I can not see how what I do looks like from your perspective.
I can n I do, but when Pez Outlaw succeeds then you will realize how relentless you must be to achieve success and how foolish you will look in the eyes of others doing what it takes to achieve it. People only get it once it works.

The amount of time n work required to achieve your destiny leaves most by the side of the road.
To most you will appear insane because of the blind dedication required to rendezvous with destiny.
Your belief in yourself and your ability to get there must be matched by the time required.
You're going to leave a lot of people behind who tire of your dedication to the goal.
Only your truest friends will survive the journey.
It's the natural way of things.

What's been interesting is this.
In the beginning all I faced was doubt on all fronts as to the wisdom of my choice.
People got on with there lives while I continued in isolation.
For a decade polite comments on various accomplishments but still doubt.
Then a shift in the winds due to visible motion.
Faces that had been gone reappeared, interest rose for a time.
Now I wait again in isolation.

Very soon the jury will render it's verdict.
If the answer is Yes Forward, I will be thought a genius n everybody will say they knew I could do it. They had faith all along.
If the answer is No, the answer will appeal to human nature.
If not me then why you.
It's a spin on I'm Ok you're Ok.
Meaning if I achieve something through 15 years of hard work, the other person feels somehow less for not doing so. 
So better I fail than there sense of self worth be called into question.

I chose work.
I chose blind dedication.
I chose to sacrifice 15 years to get here.
You or they chose whatever it was you chose.

I've watched the disappointment of people who wish for Life but don't put in the time.
Years n decades are required to accomplish anything meaningful.
You are going to be alone in your belief that you can do it. 
People are going to look at you like you are crazy n it helps if you are.

Any time your goal falls outside normal thought.
"Normal" people are not going to see the good sense in your choice, especially if the odds look ridiculously not in your favor.
So approval had best not be needed by you in your quest.

Blind Determination, Dedication, Belief n to be honest the type of brain where honestly there is no other choice. You just simply must.

Jeff has said "Are You Ready for what's coming"?
I guess we'll see.
I think if I can watch it somewhat detached, not as the object of interest but as a fellow observer.
Then I think I'll be OK.
I believe that I have reasonable expectations and a realistic idea of how long the lights will be on.
I'm ready n I want to walk away. 
I seek closure as I have since 1998.

All I've ever wanted was to correct/fix what happened, to finish what I started.
I did not choose this fight but I did decided not to walk away.

So that's where we are.
After Pez Outlaw, I intend to retire.

Pez Outlaw, Elasticity of Reality #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.

ebay link to Pez Outlaw Collectibles.

https://www.ebay.com/.../Pez-Outlaw-By-sj-glew/_i.html...

Due to budgetery restrictions all I can afford is this pic of Gabby Hayes King of Sidekicks #pezoutlaw #hollywoo..

How do you fit dreams into reality?

You try to describe them n come off as a nitwit.

My dogs listen, but real people merely indulge.

The problem with fitting dreams into reality are many.

For one it would appear that my mind will change architecture to fit the story.

Need a car to drive through a house, well jettison basements n foundations.

Of course once awake you find it troubling that the neighbors basement was omitted.

Let alone that your dream had them living west of you when in reality they live east.

Oh yeah n the neighbor was 20 years younger.

Seriously, Who Writes This Shit?

Next thing is people keep changing in my dreams.

After the car drove through the neighbors house a tall guy with short hair was standing there.

Wait just a damn minute, dream or not I'm putting my foot down.

This dream needs a rewrite.

In my dream I did just that, I called shenanigans.

The driver had long curly brown hair.

Where's that guy n who's in charge of continuity in this dream.

Immediately I told the tall guy with short hair to step over there.

My instincts in the dream were to call Kathy n tell her to bring Billy Dog.

Problem, even in the dream I knew I don't carry a phone, Time for the squiggle in the palm of my hand to the neighbor. (a gesture meant to tell someone to call someone)

Billy n I were gonna hunt down the person with long curly brown hair.

Surely they couldna got far n Billy was just the dog for the job.

Billy doesn't get a lot of respect for talents I see, But me I believe in me I believe in Billy Dog n we were goin huntin. 

So what, she ate a can of catfood again. 

It was worth it, Billy Dog says she'll do the time.

When young I also thought some things were worth the punishment.

That's when I woke up.

The dream had to many inconsistencies, my head was about to explode.

That's the problem with vivid just one more dream before I wake scenarios.   

Look I don't write this shit, I only report the dreams. 

For the record I also fly in my dreams, usually only 10 to 20 feet up.

Once though I shot like a bat outa hell into space.

That one was weird.

Also, if a dream bothers me, my character in every dream knows he can exit at will by just closing his eyes really tight.

Well, that's that.

See you all at nightfall.

My Hat's not Silly, It's Science.

I've been thinking a lot lately about reality and the myth/urban legend of Pez Outlaw.
The thought that my willpower can make Pez Outlaw whatever I want him to be.
That through determination and work I can affect the outcome of what's already in motion.
It's not enough to hook the fish, you actually have to get it into the boat n to the table for eating.

I have big dreams for Pez Outlaw, I need to work every day to see those dreams become reality.
I believe that I can influence the outcome.

What Pez Corporation is missing in all of this is, the perspective.
Who n What people perceive Pez Outlaw to be.
Daily I try to shape that perception.
In the end Pez Outlaw will be what people believe him to be, not a historical set of facts.

My goal is to help shape that persona.
I want Pez Outlaw to be about the struggle, the fight, the will power, the refusal to give up or give in.
It would be really cool if Pez Outlaw gave people hope, made them believe that you the little people could actually stand up for yourselves n win.
That money and power could be beaten by nothing more than your mind.

Call me crazy but I do believe that I can shape my reality with my mind, determination, the Internet and time.

Pez Corporation you are missing the point and that point is perception.
I refuse to accept the reality of Pez Corp the behemoth international all powerful colossus.
You Pez Corp are nothing more than a player in my story and I'm The writer of that story.

Very soon Pez Corp you will understand why Scott McWhinnie became so obsessed with Pez Outlaw. You will find an affinity with why Pez Outlaw drove Scott McWhinnie NUTS and made him do irrational things.

One final thought. 
Anybody from Pez Corporation could stand right in front of me today n I'd have no idea who they are.
I guarantee you that they all know who Pez Outlaw is. See what I mean, perspective.
It's the same as the old days when the Austrian executive saw me in Ormoz Slovenia n said "I Know Who You Are". Then abruptly turned n scurried off to the nearest land line.

I can write this because what, am I afraid you might think I'm crazy.
Look around you, we're in the Asylum.

After Pez Outlaw, I intend to retire.
