I'm so tired of banging this drum,

Pez Corporation, Will you please just make a Black Santa Claus, so we can be done with this.

Like Buck Owens said, "Santa Looks A Lot Like Daddy".

In The entire 70 year history of Pez Corporation, Pez Outlaw not the company is the only person to release a Black Santa Claus Pez Dispenser n he was hunted down n destroyed for doing it.

Pez Corporation it would be so easy for you to shut me up on this Black Santa Racism thing.
Just call China m tell them to make 100,000 Black Santas this year n mix them in with the white Santa's for Christmas.
Unfortunately I've been saying this very same thing for going on 25yrs now. 

One more time Pez Corporation.
Santa Claus is Black, Hispanic, Japanese, Chinese, etc.
To be literal, it's all about who or what ancestry your daddy or mommy is.
It's such a simple n basic thing, I just don't know how to explain your stubbornness on this.

The Day I released the REJECTED Black Santa Claus is the day I became Pez Outlaw.

Pez Outlaw, Corporate Whistle Blower.
Can I please get Whistle Blower protection as written under Federal Law?

After I release the Black Santa Claus I became the most Hunted, disparaged, maligned person within the Collecting world. Pez Corp had one goal from that day forward, "Destroy Pez Outlaw At All Cost's, No Matter What You Have To Do".

2020 ☑️ PEZ OUTLAW FOR PRESIDENT #pezoutlaw #hollywood...

Racism 

Almost 25yrs later and still no Black Santa has been released by Pez Corp. Make me a Liar Pez Corp, release a Black Santa Clause for Christmas this year. I've made this taunt each year for over a decade now, so far no black santa.

Over half of the worlds population is non white, yet the only Santa Pez Corporation will release is White.

For over 50yrs the only Santa Claus Pez Corporation will release is white. When I released the Pez Corp rejected prototype Black Santa, I an unknown became the most wanted and Hated person on planet Earth by PEZ.
 

1st one

The Black Santa Pez Dispenser was rejected By Pez Corporation because of racial prejudice. Some of this was Austrian Pez Corporate Racism, some was an interpretation of perceived racism by Pez Austria about the USA. So Black Santa was deemed to offensive by Pez Corporation as a whole.

Black Santa is probably the most historic Pez Dispenser ever made by Pez without corporate approval. Reason being Pez Corporation was scared to death of him. Black Santa was very taboo, way to controversial to exist or do as a Pez Dispenser. For these historical reasons I believe my Black Santas are the rarest & most desirable Pez that exist. There were 3 different versions of my Black Santas. I know the politically correct answer to rarest is Make-A-Face. I disagree. Black Santa is rarest Pez as it was never meant to exist. Like Bubble boy, it was an in house rejection. Unlike Bubble Boy he was never mass produced. Make-A-Face was mass produced. Even Owl MMM was produced in larger numbers than Black Santa. 

Pez Outlaw shot to the most wanted & hated pez dealer after smuggling approximately 30 Black Santa Pez Dispensers into the USA. 

First I want to apologize, I only show you this Repugnant Racist image as proof of Pez Corporate Racism.

The picture below is a drawing of the image used on the top of chocolate pez display boxes in Hungary in the early 1990s.

I sold all the actual header cards for this image. Mary Anne Kennedy has one of them for sure. I think John Devlin has one. This is the image created by an artist for the pins I had made to commemorate Pez Corporations Bigotry.

Like I said the above image of COKO PEZ an African caricature on the box for chocolate pez candy was ok, but a black Santa Pez dispensers was to controversial. I believe the rational was African caricature as mascot for chocolate Pez ok, but a black person as an icon no way.

In the early 1990s the Coko Pez image was absolutely considered acceptable by Pez Europe for Eastern Europe.
 
Sexism 

Below is an Actual 1970 Pez advertisement.

Pez Corporation decided that a good way to sell toys to children was PORNOGRAPHY!
Think I'm kidding, Look at the advertisement below from Pez Corporation.

The Sex. Actual 1970 Pez advertisement
Only Pez Corporation would approve an
idea to sell Donald Duck Pez with
BOOBs.

The Black-Market Smuggling history of Pez

The Black-Market Smuggling history of Pez Collectibles is a rich and storied one. Embrace that history with me. It was fun & exciting. Half the Pez in collections today come from it.

Yes most of what I did traveling and buying Pez dispensers was technically illegal in those countries. I broke a lot of rules if not actual laws. Why do you think I was so secretive about everything? Why do you think I felt safe after 10 years had passed to write Pez Outlaw Diary? Statute of limitations laws, that's why. An awful lot of fact fudging and little lies were used to get things done. Laws n rules were rearranged if you will allow me to put it in a sunny light. Where do you think the whole Pez Outlaw thing comes from, that I adhered to the straight n narrow?

What I did could not have been done by following the law.  I am also well aware of the fact that a couple individuals I did business with in Europe were caught doing similar things n prosecuted. The nitty gritty of it all is that only each individual person I dealt with and myself know these things and only I know the overall picture. Besides it has been well over ten years and I no longer travel or buy pez dispensers. Also any possible evidence is long gone. Funny thing is, it was when I tried going legit, buying legally from Pez Austria in 1998 that things went south. The irony does not escape me.

Did all the money go to Pez corp, sometimes but it was rare. Did some steal the product, yes I believe they did. Most odd color variation in pez collections today did not have corporate approval to be sold. Even the black Santa Pez dispensers were technically stolen as pez corp did not and never would have allowed there release. So technically every pez color variation not mass produced for sale by pez corp is a stolen pez dispenser. As are many rare pez dispensers still sold today. When a guy makes a special Pez dispenser and sells it into the pez hobby it is a stolen item. When someone finds or found a group or boxes of no feet pez dispensers and sells them to pez dealers. Do you think pez corporate sanctioned it, not very likely. One individual high up maybe, but it was not a Haas decision so it was stolen.

Pez corp has always been a funny company. Pez USA was owned by Pez Austria through a drop box for years n may still be. The company itself and many high up people have been doing a lot of dicey things for about 30 years. So many people who operate pez injection molding machines, manage pez injection facilities, run pez warehouses, head pez division or at corp have done hinky things that nobody says anything. Enough people have sold pez dispensers without corporate approval that nobody wanted to legally open that can of worms. Yes some small fish are fired or pursued, but not anyone who knows where the bodies are buried. It is usually handled in different ways. As Scott was handle for becoming to powerful and hacking them off. 

The company itself has done some pretty dicey things. The heck you say. Well for example the original King Louie, Balloo, Mowgli, Dalmation, Pooh, Thumper, Chip, Wyle, Road Runner, Merlin & Dumbo Pez dispensers. The company quit production for America so they stopped paying royalties for the characters. What you may not know is when copyrights are not renewed a brief limited window exists for the remaining production to be sold. Well these Pez dispensers were sold for years in areas east of Austria, and years later I was sold some very fresh inventory of Dumbo and Road Runner Pez dispensers. 

For those of us who bought pez dispensers in this gray complicated world, It's figured we will keep the secrets because if we don't we will be cut off, no more soup for you. By the very nature of what I was doing, it would have been more of a surprise if everybody I dealt with had been upright and honest. 

Some were good honest people, like everybody in Slovenia. When I bought there, payment was made by deposit in the pez corporate account.

You see several factors work against honesty and good behavior. Always cash only cash, so it is a cash business with very few records kept. The huge amounts of cash we are talking about, over the aprox 20 years this has been going on it has to be millions. My contribution in the worldwide black market of pez dispensers alone was in excess of 3/4 Million dollars and depending how you look at it is roughly 2 million dollars. 

Significant portions of any sizable Pez collection were illegally obtained. 

After Pez Outlaw, I intend to retire.

Pez Corporate Fraud, Pez Color War, Restitution.

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

I refuse to take the well worn path
Words spoken in unison, without reflection

Truth is hidden, not given
Deciphering the riddle takes a lifetime

Do I exist in your reality?  
Validation of a life lived.

3 days of intensity and sorrow.
Then we hide from the inevitable.

We rejoin our tribes and ignore truth.
Hate, greed and self involvement return.

The only truth is kindness.
The gift we can truly give each other is love.

Ignore the words that wake the demon within.
Anger is hard to recapture once released.

Wave at your neighbor as they drive by.
The warmth of the gesture cost you nothing.

You already know what you believe.
Don't use it as a cudgel on others.

Say you're sorry, without hesitation.
Be quick to extend your hand to others.

No one ever laid dying wishing that they had been meaner to others.
Words spoken in silence to ears that cannot hear. 

How is it that we can't see the obviousness of the truth?
Do we use the illusion to avoid the reality?

If I passionately obsess about the unimportant.
Will I escape my fear?

Welcome to the circus of life.
These are not my monkeys.

3:30 am

I wake or should I say come to in the middle of a dark woods, no idea where I'm at and no idea how I ended up there.

This was my very complicated dream last night.
The whole thing took place in a Mall and woods next it.
There were people in red, yellow and purple jumps suits, that seemed to be at the core of the dilemma I found myself in.
It didn't take long to figure out that the people in the purple jump suits/coveralls were in charge.

After I came to I noticed that there were about 11 others around me waking up one by one.
None had any idea where we were or how they got here.
We set out on foot towards the lit up Mall we saw just a bit the other side of the woods we were in.

When we got to the Mall we realized that it was actually a processing facility with hundred of other people, all unconscious being processed for transport to, hell knows where.
As we approached the facility most of us were recaptured by the people in red jumpsuits.
After capture they were sedated again and readied for transport.

Somehow I managed to get a purple jump suit and started moving around trying to figure out what was going on.  
The only other part of this dream I remember is another guy in a purple jump suit leading me into a clear liquid that you could breath in after being totally submerged.

Conveyor belts with hundreds of unconscious people on them, head somewhere.
I pulled the plug on this dream about here, so what was going on is as big a mystery to me as it is to you.

Weird Dream Huh.
Wonder what a person who interprets your dreams would make of this one?
My experience is that dreams never give you answers, they just show you stuff.

Yeah sure this was a keeper of a dream, but I do have another that competes with it pretty good.

Over 20 years ago while at the Raba Hotel in Hungary I had this dream or dream like state.
Well actually 2, You pick.

1. The first one was astral projection where I left my room on the 3rd floor and shot like a light ray into outer space.
That's it for the first one, I shot into space, can't remember if I came back to Earth or not.

2. The second dream I had in my 3rd floor room in Gyor Hungary.
In the dream I realized that there were special places on Earth where the fabric between realities was thinner than everywhere else.
One of these places where you could cross over into a parallel dimension was my 3rd floor room on the Northwest corner of the Raba Hotel in Gyor Hungary.
During this dream I did cross over to the other dimension to another reality very similar to ours but with a few differences.

Yes I also fly at times in my dreams, though not as often as I'd like.

After Pez Outlaw, I intend to retire.

Thinking today about how Vampires can live a thousand years.

That n how a Cylon/human baby can cure Cancer.

Kathy has a friend that's an accomplished horse person. Does presentations all over. Her friend is doing Zoom presentations 3 to 5 times a week instead of seminars. I think that I just realized why. It's so she doesn't lose her mind during the covid lockdown.

Personally, I'm slip sliding away. Bored outa my skull n that's from a hermit.

I can't imagine how normal people are feeling after almost a year.

NEW N IMPROVED. Step right up boys n girls, get your Crack Weasel Autograph.
Today and today only. It's a once in a lifetime offer. 
I'm not asking $29.95, no not even $9.95. 
Only $4.95 n this little beauty can be yours.
But wait, there's more. If you act now I'm gonna throw in absolutely free of charge..........
Side effects might include, drowsiness........ 

Sometimes we live life slowly like turning the pages in a book very carefully one by one. Generally though we live life like the wind quickly turns the pages of an open book.
I feel like an outsider in my life story while others very slowly control my fate. 
So I release the pages of my life to the winds of time.
I'm not in the least angry about this, to the contrary I am very pleased. 

It's like I told someone last night, It's your world now.
I no longer feel the need to convince or correct others to my thoughts.
My time has past, It's your world now, run it whatever way you like.

This seemed to bother the person I was talking to, yet all I wanted was to find the escape hatch from the conversation.
At every turn I found myself a brier patch, knowing that nothing I could ever say was going to make there life experiences match mine.
We each walk very unique paths in life which inform our way of thinking.
The thought of making you feel bad with something I might say is very uncomfortable to me.

That's the reason I prefer n try to write in the abstract now.
My hope is that you can interpret my words to your views n experiences.
It's your world now, my time has past. 

I will admit something to you, behavior I've observed over the last few months has brought about this new perspective in my way of thinking.

I've noticed something though.
The more I try to avoid talking about what I think or believe about this n that, The more people try to lure me in.
Really Weird turn of events, I'm not taking the bait.
Pass the popcorn n enjoy the show.

Connect the imagery
She whispered "Kolinska"
Cab driver leads the way
Smokestacks tower over OZ

Just like ole Abbott n Costello
Next stop Hollywood
We'll find it after a while
Would my world change

My life is that of a low level worker
Like Eb from Green Acres
Pez Outlaw lived a decade worth viewing. 
I'm just a funny looking old man on a tractor.

Things can only affect you if you take them in.
I've seen folks get all wired tight
Start thinking that they are a deal
It does not end well.

Pez Outlaw is the repository
After 20 years I'm the caretaker
Pez Outlaw flew high
I have been humbled.

I can help
But I will never read it
I just can't look in Mirrors
I can't deal with the me you perceive.

I've learned how things must go
The road to who I am was difficult
I do not mess with that
Stay on the path  


If Hollywood makes a Pez Outlaw Movie
It would be an honor
Would that make me Happy
I've been working almost 2 decades

Satisfaction, recognition, Validation
That's why I hope it happens 
A lifetime of work 
I believe I'd find closure.

A Pez Outlaw Documentary n Movie
A Pez Outlaw Book
That's "everything you dreamed of"
I've never been vague about it

Fame was never the dream
I've known what my true goals are from the beginning
Raising awareness of the Pez Outlaw story
Enjoying, Notes From The Asylum.

Vindication in my belief that I could do it.
That when I was down to zero $$$$.
I realized that I still had my mind.
Vindication in myself and my belief in myself.

Somehow I don't doubt the outcome
The problem is the pain of the journey
I can almost feel the joy of release
Somethings up, stay tuned

New Lucky Watch, Very good Friends n a light in the distance
A way forward has revealed itself
I'm ready, life is all about timing n 2020 is Pez Outlaw's year

Crazy is an abstract art form.

After Pez Outlaw, I intend to retire.

Each day a new journey of repetition.

The tedium grinds at your soul.

Yet you must continue.

An unknown inner voice pushes you forward.

The need to succeed.

The dream to walk away.

Pez Outlaw, I came to writing different than most, my goals required that I make the effort. #Netflix

As a byproduct I believe that I will be published in a year or 2.

My writing style tends to be a bit country n Blue Collar.

I embrace my world in an effort to represent all of us with dreams of something better.

When I posted this on facebook a friend told me that my style is "Folksy", I like that.

You make very friendly gestures
To a response of silence
The answer becomes obvious

The unwanted noise becomes to much
Life continues around you never missing a beat
The cry for attention misses it's mark

I understand what does not fit
Agendas on separate paths
Of course I feel mine has more value

The truth must be hidden

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

I decided today that the most productive thing that I could do this morning was to sew a large patch on my winter jeans.
I've told you about Hay Knee where moving bales of hay around wears your jeans out above the knee before there time.
I hate waste especially when Hay Knee is the only thing wrong with a pair of jeans.

My mother raised 5 boys and she was determined that every one of us knew how to wash iron and sew our own clothes.
You all know the jeans I'm talking about because it seems that I'm wearing them in most of the pictures I provide when signing Pez items.

Lately all I'm hearing is about addiction to facebook etc, oh yeah n how it's causing depression.
I will admit to thinking lately that it's all a massive waste of time.
My solution is that I'm going to do something productive n patch my jeans this morning.

Isn't that a statement.
20yrs trying to get a book published and a movie made spending 3hrs a day on line to that end and today the thing I've decided has more merit is to patch my jeans.

This picture shows you what I call Hay Knee.
I did tell my grandkids that it's from Kathy tapping my knee, telling me to shut up.

The repair. Bottom done.
I'll be taking the next couple days to complete.

Repair completed.

I noticed last night while watching Pickers that Mike is doing a lot of patching on his jeans now also.

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


I feel very privileged to know this group of horses, dogs and Kathy that I share my life with.
Yesterday after graining the horses I went around to collect there bowls.
I swear on a stack of Bibles that The following is true.
When I got to Big Scout horse to collect his bowl up, he picked it up with his mouth n handed it to me.
Damnedest thing you've ever seen, that guy is a real character.

You all know Smokey Boy horse is my favorite.
Well Smokey has been giving Kathy trouble lately trying his tom foolery on her.
So much so that she's had me come get him here n there when she's not comfortable.
I hate hitting, jerking or anything harsh with a horse, I talk to them and I come to them with confident hands.

I don't care how strong or big you are horse you will not win if you try something, I will not yield.
I remind you of the story where Marnie Marie horse dragged me around for 15 minutes.
I refused to give in or let go, I credit an assist to Billy Dog who after 15min circled around in front of her, pounded the ground and told Marnie, "ENOUGH"!

Back to Smokey.
Kathy asked if I'd help because he was pulling her around and trying to get away from her.
I went to him looped my hand like a Bull Rider on the neck rope n told him that I'd be having none of it.
Smokey Boy knew that the jig was up and behaved like a little angel.

Before all you horse people have a cow about me breaking rule #1 of wrapping my hand on the rope like a bull rider.
Rule #1 never wrap your hand on a horse lead and release the rope don't be dragged.
Nuts to that, I'd rather get pulled around for 15min when Billy Dogs got my back than chase a horse down the road for 3hrs.

I approach a horse like a tree stump and I refuse to lose.
I'm bigger, stronger and smarter is how I approach any horse.
We talk and I explain these things to them.
Plus I'm the food guy, not a plan to mess that up.
Insurance policy, Billy Dog.

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


I believe in the Absurdity of life. Therefore I believe whatever I imagine is possible.
I work every day for that possible.

I believe in it n I can actually see it.

What I believed impossible for my life when I was a child has already been surpassed.
Now if I can only bring stability to my dreams.

I can see my dreams as if they were already reality.
I've run the scenarios.
Now I wait for reality to catch up.

Is it egotistical to think a lot of what others pass off as crazy is amateurish?
By the way.
My favorite crazy in a movie. Brad Pitt, 12 Monkeys.
Favorite crazy on TV Jenifer on 12 Monkeys.
Favorite Obsessive Compulsive. Tony Shalhoub, Monk.

After Pez Outlaw, I intend to retire.

pez outlaw

Victory a lonesome road.

Dreams to sustain you.

Cheers the journey home.

Cost, a debt to steep.

Desperation picks the path.

Spectator not participant

Time measures in years not hours.

10,000 hours becomes 20 years.

Sands loosen beneath your feet.

How big the quake to shake the dream.

The Crows peck stings a reminder.

Friendships the true reward.

D.B. Cooper would be to easy, I'll take Roswell for $100 please.

1951, The Arrival of Pez Outlaw. 
Yeah, that was me back in 47, oops.

My 1st n earliest memory as a child was being in a fever state.
My whole body felt like it was wrenching.
Almost like a rejection of this existence.

I've tried to go back n make sense of it, but I can't. 
I've always wondered if the first n last moments of life are somehow connected.
Like a bridge in time.
 
To this day the memory is vivid.
I've never told anyone about that, not even Kathy.
Sorta fitting that I told it here in the Asylum first.

Do you want to know something that'll give you a reality check?
Explaining this post to Kathy, I said out of deference.
Fugue state you know how bipolar people get, like it didn't include me.

I got a really blank stare. 
Perception of my reality took a hit.
Honey I don't get that way? answer, sometimes. 

I just don't know what to do with that.
How you see yourself, is not how others see you.
I'm not medicated or under a doctors care, but I guess I am indulged/tolerated.

Collision of Thought

Father to Son.
The Cat Lady is on her 3rd home. 
Words become orphans.
Tick Tock, Tick Tock.

I've heard of restless leg
Heard of restless hand, Superior Donuts
Is Restless Brain a thing?
Cause I think I got it.

I prayed for CAKE last night.
Got up n there was CAKE.
Pretty quick turn around on a prayer.
It usually doesn't work like that.

When at a crossroad. Do you let your mind come out n play?
There is no point.
Which is not the point.

I'm standing on the 3rd story ledge.
Waiting for news that talks me down.
Roller coasters n Airports.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.

Thank You
I appreciate that question
I hoped someone would ask me about that
Next question

Anxiety doesn't change anything.
Then again, I had a cool pic.
Also had a good title.
So, I write the words.

In a recent conversation Big words was the topic.
To use or not to use Big words, THAT is the question.

My official stance on the use of Big words is, ehhh whatever.
The words you use to make a point should be precise, understandable n get to the dirt.

You can talk for 10 minutes n say nothing.
Or, you can use a few sentences n get right there.

Of course I'm not one to talk because I talk in circles n use riddles.
That's my job though, to expound on the notions that drift through my mind.

There is no script, just find the manner that suits you.
To the point, speak in a manner that makes you comfortable. 

I find myself using my fathers voice more n more.
A natural drift to where I came from.

My writing structure is made up.
I'm told my grammar is poor.

Hell I make up words as it suits me.
Find your voice, convey the thought, keep it simple.

Words will not ingratiate you with fancy folks.
Let your thoughts stand for you in judgement.

We live in fear of judgement.
I prefer to present my thoughts unhindered by self image.

Since the age of 5, I haven't given a tinkers damn what anybody thought of me. 
Obsessing over will they like me sabotages any shot at finding out who you are.

That's not to say I liked myself, because I did not.
I've only begun to like myself in the last decade.

My journey has been n is a quest for change.
I strive every day to be a better person.

Present your mind to people.
Your appearance will betray you.

Your mind, purity of thought.
That's where you make your stand.

Look at me, you see some old shit kicker.
Listen to me, I hope you get a different take.

One truth is not in my hands.
Your perception is yours n I can't change it.

Circles n Puzzles.
I warned ya.

I really like the idea that Pez Outlaw traveled here from another dimension.
The transition from his world to this was just to much n Pez Outlaw ended up in the Asylum he writes to you from now. 

I can tell you one thing for sure.
If I still had my spaceship n could go back in time n change just 1 thing.
I'd go back to 1998 n never buy the Pez Outlaw collection.
641 Pez Outlaw Collection

courtesy of  Phyllis Shafer Oreck

$250,000.00 on new original design product, color variations, crystals n glow in the dark Pez.
$250,000.00 on old stock to qualify for previous sentence.

The biggest mistake bar none I made in this lifetime was to try n go legit by buying 1/2 million dollars of Pez From Pez Corporation in 1998.
So yes if I could go back in time, I'd never have done that.
Of course that would also mean that the Pez Hobby would never have seen Crystals or Glow in the Dark pez.
It would also mean that Scott McWhinnie would not have been forced into retirement.

I smuggled 2 million Pez this way n that into the USA.  
Over an 11 year period I earned 4.5 million dollars.
At the end of that I lost 1/2 million dollars.
We walked away from those years $250,000.00 in debt.

It's been almost 20 years since I received the news that changed the direction of my life.
The previous 47 years of my life had been a very slow crawl of forward momentum that peaked in a rapid decade of the 1990s.
The 1990s were the happiest time of my life, all my worries vanished for a decade.

The story of How much n why Scott McWhinnie hated Pez Outlaw (me) is by now well known within the Pez Collecting community.
Kathy said You really couldn't have changed what happened. 
My answer was, My biggest regret is deciding to buy that 1/2 million dollars worth of Pez Product.
I just never should have done it.


I've never been the type of person that things came to easily.
As a matter of fact my ability to fit into what is "Normal" has always been a challenge.
Despite that I found my path.

It took me 25 years to get to the point in 1994 that I was ready to make my move.
Finally I had scraped together a few thousand dollars to begin my journey.
The next 4 years flew by at light speed, as I traveled the world buying Pez.
I had finally caught the wave.

Everything was built on the momentum of the previous success.
Flea markets, Good Will stores, Collectibles of every description, McDonalds premiums, cereal premiums and finally Pez.
Every success rolled into the next, all building to the decisions of 1998.

In 1998 I remortgaged my home ($125,000.00) and took out an additional line of credit loan for $125,000.00.
I put that borrowed $250,000.00 plus another $250,000.00 of earnings in 1998 on the biggest play I had ever made.
I made my play, a half million dollars pushed into the middle of the table.

In late 1998 I lost and sj glew died.
Everything I had worked a lifetime for ended.
Like I said my path in life has not been an easy fit.

Yes I earned 4.5 million dollars in 11 years on a $4,000.00 investment, but in the end I lost $250,000.00 on a half million dollar investment that should have yielded a million, minimum.

The question then became, when you have lost almost everything what's your next move.
All material resources gone, what's left to draw on.
It was at that low point that I realized the one asset, I still had my mind.

Over the next decade I used it along with the new tool of the internet to write my story.
The process has been very slow, 20 years now.
The goal to sell the Pez Outlaw story as a book and a movie.

I can say this much as to the progress of that dream.
Having your story optioned does not guarantee that the movie will actually be made.
So I continue working.

That day in 1998 when sj glew and all his dreams died, that was the day Pez Outlaw was born.
A thought just crept into my mind. I wonder what the reaction would be if I showed up at Pez USA headquarters or the Offices in Austria?
Would I be welcomed as an old Friend?

You'd think that the person that made Pez international millions would indeed have the red carpet rolled out for him.
I say made them millions in this context, Bubble Boy, Color variations, Glow in the dark n crystal's.
All these ideas originated by Pez Outlaw n did not existed until I conceived n introduced them. 

So my guess is Pez Corp would welcome me (Pez Outlaw) with open arm.
Hell, I bet Pez Corp would throw a banquet in my honor if I showed up at there door.
I'd be all, gosh folks you don't have to create a special Pez Dispenser to commemorate my contribution to Pez.

N they Pez Corp would be.
But you are so awesome, we pale historically in the presence of Pez Outlaw.
Aw shucks, it was nothin.

After Pez Outlaw conceived n launched colors, glow n crystals Pez Corp sold millions of them.
Being a humble person I've stayed in the shadows n let Pez Corp run with my ball.
There success with my ideas is payment enough.
It's like watching all your children do well.

But Hey n Oh Shucks, if you want to create a special pez dispenser to commemorate the Pez Outlaw contribution to Pez.
I suppose that'd be OK.
After all, It's For The Children.

Jeez Oh Pete's, So much Fuss.
Thank You.
Pez Outlaw. 

After Pez Outlaw, I intend to retire.

Last night I had a very realistic dream that my work had been published. To my surprise when I opened the large soft cover book (yes it was weird I could feel the texture of the book) It was Notes From The Asylum that had been published not Pez Outlaw Diary.

It had somehow just been published without my knowledge and I was playing catch up. I didn't seem to mind, actually I was thrilled and flattered. Tell you a secret, I've always felt my work here in the Asylum is better than Pez Outlaw Diary. To be fare though the diary is one story, the asylum is many stories and introspective.

In my dream I asked if I was going to get any money for it's publication, Oh no was the answer.
I know it was just a dream but I hope I was going to get per copy sold money at least.
I'd hate to think that I cheated myself in my own dream.

I had a very large dog that lived to be 12yrs old. Kinda unusual, she did it because she slept about 90% of the time. Soupy played and had a very rich dream life, for her which was reality her dream life or what we call reality?
My point is that at least I've been published on one plain of consciousness.

I can't wait to go to sleep tonight and see how my book is selling. Maybe I'll take a nap in hopes of an update.

It really doesn't matter if you "live in the real world" if by doing so you are miserable. My dreams, my fantasy's, The world that only exists in my head keeps me going. I've found that my bouts with depression are usually when I live in "the real world" and my dreams elude me. Once I find the hope of my dreams again depression leaves. 

A rich fantasy life is the key to happiness. Things that I can't afford to do, I build over and over in my mind. I find the parts I can do for zero money then refine my plans to perfection.

                                                                 

Sane. (of a person) of sound mind; not mad or mentally ill.
51% works for me. 

51% Sane.
One Bump over the line. 
Treading water but holding my own. 
Counting sharks, hoping for the best.

Dealing with the day in front of me. 
Yesterday n Tomorrow can't help.
Better than 49 

Is your hand true? 
Reality does not blur. 
Only perception.

As the majority shareholder in my sanity, I'd like to issue the following report to the other shareholders. Your recent attempts at a hostile takeover have failed.
Though it was a close one.
How many of you have been in Walmart n been told "Dial The Crazy Down"?Happened to me yesterday.
Came back in the store after retrieving something from the truck.
When I saw Kathy I was overtly joyous.
Problem I guess is my display of happiness showed to much disregard for anyone but her or how my joy affected them.
To much like a puppy when you get home I guess.

The truth is that for over 45yrs Kathy has been the Hall Monitor of my existence in your world.
Kathy adjusts n fine tunes my behavior so that I fit.
Occasionally though I get away from her n she has to reel me back in.
I listen n obey because I've learned that she sees what I can't.

Let me tell you all a secret.
It seems like once a week now I find myself thinking about being interviewed concerning the Pez Outlaw Book n the other thing I'm not allowed to mention.

I ask the interviewer if it's OK if I wear my hat.
Would I wear my sweatshirts n not try to be something I'm not by dressing up.
Would that make me look like a homeless person or could I be uniquely who I am.
My annoyance with how no matter the topic, it gets max 3 minutes.

Feast or Famine
In the 1990s I earned 4.5 million dollars over an 11 year period.
Think about it. Wouldn't it have been better if I'd earned that same amount over 45 years.
4.5 million over 45 years is $100,000.00 per year.
Now wouldn't that have been nicer.
Instead it was belly up to the tables n broke by the end of the game.

Same thing now.
Poor right now n seem to owe money to everybody.
Sometime in the next 3 years, MONEY!
Just wish this type of thing would spread itself out more.

So that's me right now. Poor n wishing future riches would even out.
Daydreaming about how I'd handle celebrity interviews.
So basically 51% sane.



51% Sane is the best one day post I've ever had. Thank you all very much. #pezoutlaw #hollywood

The Persona is everything

GIDDY UP.
I came to Happy Horse Asylum for rest n recreation. Busy hands are happy hands, no different for the mind.
I fight tedium by engaging my mind, trying to be creative. When I get a thought right, it is very satisfying.

Interesting thing happened on my way to the Asylum, I found that I like it here. I thought I came here just to stay busy while I wait for developments/progress on other projects. All I wanted to do was stay busy n find a place to put my thoughts that had no business in  Pez Outlaw Diary . I used to clutter it up with all this stuff.

So in order to keep my main project Pez Outlaw Diary  clean, I created Notes From The Asylum.
Life has a funny old way of happening though. I came to Pez as a busy project while doing cereal boxes premiums n McDonalds. I had no idea Pez was the thing I'd become known for, my direction was Cereal.

Again life starts playing tricks. I came here because of Pez Outlaw Diary . The Asylum was just supposed to be a divergence n now it's actually performing competitively. Add to that, that I enjoy writing in the Asylum each day.

I've got no idea where we are going but saddle up n put on your poncho's and we will find out.

Allz I know is. 1500 combined views yesterday n 2136 views today. Before that we were averaging 1000 per day. It would seem we all might need to come n rest in the Asylum once in a while.

The point is this. We meander about through life thinking we are doing one thing, when all the while we are doing something entirely different. Your mind just has to be open to the revelation when it happens.



So Saddle Up, Put on your pochos n big girl panties we are all off to the Asylum.
Put On Your Big Girl Panties

After Pez Outlaw, I intend to retire.
