It?s strange the way your mind can sometimes ease your passage through periods of heightened duress by lyin? to yer ass. Seriously! My subconscious ran a freakin? game on me like I was a gawdam boob! I mean, it took me mosta three weeks inside to admit to myself that I wasn?t ?up a creek,? I was up the freakin? river! Subtle, sure, but an important distinction, if yuz catch my drift. I wasn?t in a bind. I was in a cell, man! My subconscious, though, read me like a book and put me on a hand. Exactly. I was a gawdam boob. And I bought the creek story for weeks without reservations.
One of these days we?ll hafta get into the power of the human psyche as it relates to our investments. ?Cause face it, fellas, the reason that Easy Street ain?t nowhere in your town or in this one is because it?s in a totally different state of mind. Deep, huh?
Other topics what are on my ledger include, ?Lady Luck and Other Dames,? ?Boss or Beard? The Goods on God,? and acourse the current subject de jour, ?Reflections From Inside the Can.? I dunno, Jack, I ain?t actually written none of this crap, but I got a spiral fulla notes. Ya see what I?m sayin?? Maybe I could have like three ?works in progress? goin? simultaneously, huh? Elsewise, I figure it?ll take me too damn long, you know, to actually finish somethin?. Because as you know so well, closing ain?t necessarily my strongest suit.
Anyway, if?n there ain?t no objections, I?ll be sendin? over the opening installment of ?Reflections? before the cracka dawn sets my mind off in more ?basic? pursuits. I mean, I ain?t used to them ?cooze-free? environs in which I found myself entangled, ya savvy? I ain?t used to them at all. You fellas think a 10-team parlay is hard? Ha!
I?m sorry about this, but before I go any further, I?m supposed to state the following. Evidently these disclaimers are deemed important in some circles. Christ, some people need to get a life.
Under intense urging from council, I have decided that until a legal conclusion has been reached the subject of the State of Oregon?s so-called cases against me will not be directly addressed. Accordingly, any comments made by myself or on my behalf concerning stoolies, finks, or dirty rat bastids, as well as any threats of vengeance, whether implied or stated, should be viewed merely as attempts at humor and totally unrelated to any actual legal proceedings, be they past, current or pending.
That?s all, folks! Before I go, though, I?d like to give a shout out to alla my partners from back in the day. Swami, IE, Redsfann, BahamaMama (ya gotta dig a dame what?s named after a cocktail), loophole, everybody. Alas, you are far too many to mention. Also, a very special thank you and a whole gang of love to the great and powerful Squarecrow, wherever you are. Finally, mucho appreciado and much respect to alla the new talent what we got loitering around the joint these days. Specifically, Prospector, you are dope, my man. Full-strength.
Luck and good fortune to allayuz.
