Stand By

 Hey guys, 

I am on Substack now.

Don’t worry, I’m not leaving the blog.

I wanted to share my Substack with you, but I’m not sure of the exact link.

It’s called Trailer Park Cat. So I guess you could search that. 

Or try @trailerparkcat.

Edit: I think it’s trailerparkcat.substack.com

I Love This (Trailer) Park

 This is my version of Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar : We got dumpsters, we got motherf*****s Good ol’ boys and fronters We got Dollar General and A Convenience Store The Boat Bar and The (First) Turn All walking distance So you don’t need a car You can get drunk just right where you are Ooh ooh oh I love this park We got night owls, we got fishermen, Three docks and one fire pit We get hurricanes And we don’t give a shit The cops come by for welfare checks And the Mexican drives his white van in the dark Ooh ooh oh I love this park It’s in my kind of state (Florida) Living in a real house would be such a waste It’s not too hard To fall from grace  You can stay inside and hide  but it won’t save you face Ooh ooh oh I love this park I’ve seen possums, I’ve seen raccoons Like Forest Gump said “My mama just chase em off with a broom” But we give em food We got stray cats by the dozens  Fighting and humping each other And we got ladies, they’re real  nice They drink ...

Stop Dreaming and Start Doing

 I live in my own little world.  Sometimes I have to hide my crazy from John, and I don’t think he thinks my jokes are funny. But it keeps me going, like the coffee (getting a kick and getting my kicks); I have to see the humor in things (and I want to, but it wouldn’t be the first time I confused my needs with my wants (alcohol, case in point)). I don’t watch a lot of tv or movies: I write on this blog. Maybe too much. I’m really into writing my stories, even though I don’t know if I should share my life with the world. Heck, I don’t even know how many people read it; my numbers are skewed because I open my own posts to read them (what do you do in your spare time? Oh, I read my own blog. Lol). I keep trying to correct that on the blogger site, but it doesn’t seem to work (I need tech help).  My mom has given me some advice about what I write: please don’t write about the psych ward, and stop telling people you’re on medicine, and for gods sake stop telling people you’r...

Recovery

 I didn’t write when I was actively drinking, focused on more immediate sources of pleasure. Plus, the way I drank didn’t permit introspection; noticing the flowers, commenting on the taste of beer. Anne Lamott was different, going to writing retreats with her own stash of liquor, getting drunk off her ass ( my forte as well). Anyways, I didn’t (drink in moderation) imbibe just enough to get in the writing spirit, but enough to obscure my thoughts and my handwriting to slurred letters. I liked to consume: music. It was all about the music, what song could evoke the most emotional of emotions: “Free Bird,” “The Crow Chasing the Butterfly,” “Closer to the Heart,” “More than a Feeling.” But it was feel good music too: Sugar Ray, Chicago, Rush (I like the alliteration there). I would work YouTube until I was blurry-eyed and spent, when John would take burning cigarette out of my hand and put me to bed. He bought a new speaker set, sensing my enthusiasm for loud tunes. I tried to look u...
