Please Watch My Emmy Winning Movie, The Pez Outlaw on Amazon Prime & Peacock. 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Best actor at SXSW.
My goal is to offer an alternate narrative.
Hells Bells!
I find myself puzzled n offended.
Getting wound up about stupid is probably the funniest thing a person can do.
20 posts on facebook, deleted every single one today.
Mood swings are a bitch.
One day you think you have so many really important things to say.
Next day. OH! never mind.
I've had people say, well just don't do it again.
hmmmmm, like that's possible?
I will leave it to a shrink out there to put the correct label on the condition where your mind can't see that what you are saying or doing is outa sink with "normal".
Now if this was rare OK, but it's not, it cycles through your/my life.
Which by no coincidence is why we are here today writing n reading this post.
Me, I accept these things n move on.
Related if only by a shoe string.
If I'm ever again on a stage at a Pez Convention?
I want John "The Cool Pez Man" Devlin there, seated at my right.
The reason, Folks I'm getting older n I lose track of the conversation.
John Devlin
has the kindest manner of steering me on track again.
I also go blank frequently n I can just turn to John Devlin n he hits the ground running, never missing a beat.
We don't get younger, we only get older so good friends like John Devlin
n Tina Christison Gunsauls are really important.
Let's be honest I tend to meander about a bit conversationally.
Mind you I'm not complaining, My happiest moments are just meandering about.
To explain, John "the cool pezman" Devlin is on the scale of a significant presence Patient Zero Collecting Pez. I'm sure that there may have been one or two others but john n that name made him the 1st to me. Back when it was all telephones n magazines/ before the internet, there was one n it was John The Cool Pez Man Devlin.
While I'm handing out acknowledgements, Let me throw a name at you that I'm guessing most of you don't know.
Pez Outlaw actually had a Mentor, His name is Michael Mitros
.. I learned almost everything I know about Buying n selling that matters from Mike Mitros.
*************************************************
I've always had an unnamable yearning deep in my soul.
Less mediocrity n mundane, more of interesting.
Things that tickle the mind.
A need to create that lacks the talent.
This post was going to be the first of many in an effort to collectively rewrite Pez Outlaw Diary.
I regret to inform you I lost interest only a half page in.
Let's just let Jeff do it, if he still wants to?
I don't remember much of yesterday because I tend to chuck yesterday n focus on today n tomorrow.
Not the greatest way to live if you want to write a life story.
Just a handful of memories survive as little flashes from my preteens n teens.
To be honest it bores me to even recall that much.
The thought of rewriting Pez Outlaw Diary kinda sucks.
One of the things that frustrates me the most in life is doing something I've already done over.
That's why n where Jeff comes in with his tape recorder.
I just can't n don't want to do it.
As messed up as Pez Outlaw Diary is, it took 3 years to write.
My heads just not there anymore.
This situation where I prefer to forget the past is why it was so critical to get as much as I could down while I still retained the memories.
Many of the things I put in the Diary, well the details are no longer fresh.
So where's my head n my focus at now? Notes From The Asylum.
I get immediate gratification from NTFA.
Pez Outlaw Diary is 15-18 years n still waiting for the reward.
NTFA, I get happiness or results withing 24 hours.
I also feel better about my writing in NFTA, I think I've improved.
I really enjoy the free form that NFTA allows.
I enjoy playing with reality, goofing on it.
Following a single thought to its potential.
A commercial asking for $19.95 per month gives me Guilt Trip, $19.95. #pezoutlaw #pez #hollywood
2 commercials for products using boats gives me Buy Me A Boat #pezoutlaw #hollywood @pezoutlaw
My aversion to tech gave me Giddy Up Tech? #pezoutlaw #hollywood @pezoutlaw
My daily life gave me Dirt #pezoutlaw #hollywood @pezoutlawYou get my point.
My whole life I have had opinions on almost anything that goes by my ears or eyes.
Yeah it's truly that bad, but Notes From The Asylum gives me an outlet for those endless opinions n spares Kathy having to hear them.
Before NFTA I'd get an opinion n obsess about it for days.
Now I get an opinion write it down in NFTA n the act of writing it releases me from it.
Yes you got it right, this post ends up being an opinion about opinions.
I have never been embarrassed by or afraid of my opinions.
My relationship with any of my opinions is momentary, tomorrow I may take the opposite side just for the fun of it.
On that other subject that we're not allowed to talk about.
I'm not looking for or expecting the Big Affirmative.
No, actually all I'm hoping for is news of a string of incremental movement in that direction.
Little bits of good news.
I get it. It's like an airport.
Randomly
In the last 2 decades I've had a lot of people who think it would be cool to know me.
Once they really know me very few stick around.
I don't ask why because actually I'm good with the failure rate.
The main problem seems to be a misunderstanding of the meaning of clearly stated realities.
Reality is a bitch, there's yours n there's mine.
People want to bend you to there will.
I'm not good with that, but the subject is open to interpretation.
Often in my life people will say, so n so is saying this or that about you.
Huh, they never said it to me, so who cares.
Are they having fun? Cool.
Like they say, Any press is good press.
After Pez Outlaw, I intend to retire.
