Jolie Holland

I like her and she looks like my neighbor, Nicole. http://www.jolieholland.com/biography/

Ive been lying a lot lately, and I need a new story to tell at treatment centers. There just seems like nothing to say, and I know you are saying but they have never heard it. Well, I'm so bored with it, I cannot be passionate enough to portray a horrible set of circumstances, and the farther I get away from it, time wise, it doesn't seem that bad. Of course I'm referring to my mental and emotional bottom, that most recovering addicts experience, and the events leading up to it.

I try my best to make it entertaining, and it's certainly more of a ego boost when the patients laugh.

It's weird how the audience reacts, certain jokes or anecdotes can knock them dead sometimes an then the same jokes go over like turd punch other times. Surely, comedians and public speakers know exactly what I'm talking about. Maybe, it's all about delivery. Audiences get in group thought or some shit, because I've been in meetings where they laughed at everything, shit that wasn't even funny. in fact, what I'm going for is the laugh laugh ahhhh audience. The two two one approach refined by writer, public speaker, and preacher Joel Olstein, see http://dirtapp.homeunix.org:2300 and look at the section where Olstein tells his formal for converting Christians to Capitalism. Basically, the approach works by pulling the audience in and making the feel comfortable with humor, showing them you are fallible, a human, dragging them along through the debauchery and chaos, and at the height of the laughter, hit them with despair; giving them a thought provocing emotion rollarcoast. Then lightly end with getting a new car, job, and girlfriend letting them think it's going to be ok, and hopefully herding them in 12 step recovery. I mean shit, I gotta do something at night besides smoke pot and watch tv , so I need women at those meetings to look at.

me talk crazyp

i was reading a david sedaris book, with the Van Goh picture on the front, and i decided i wanted to tell blogger.com about this guy i saw driving once; i was at southern and highland, of course near memphis state, and this twenty something guy in an old white or tan car pulled up next to me and as i glanced over he pointed to a tv in his dashboard. I imeditelly assumed he had recently bought this electronic and he was kinda bouncing up and down with a huge smile on his face. This happend more than 9 years ago, and I still remember how excitefd he was about that fucking tv. I felt sorry for him then, and still even now, but realize im the only one feeling anything about that situation and he feels nothing. I think he had gold teeth too. I wonder what he's doing right now? He's probable pissed off about something.
Do you believe in God?
