Defies gravity
Can spit really far
Almost touch my toes
Can cut a fly's legs off with a beer cap from 20 paces
Know how to say useless stuff and prattle on in a dozen languages
Don't know when to shut up

Better to be pissed off than pissed on.
Biography
Born in swaddling clothes (designer, of course) at the confluence of big waters, my first recorded words were "Dad, can I have the keys to the car?" Raised a Southern Pedestrian, my musical talents were recognized at an early age, leading to my being exiled to the shed out back with a stack of books that became my eddykayshun - advanced readin', writin' & ritmytick, creating a major quandary of "what will I do, oh what will I do?" (Gunslinger)
As an old black man advised in song, "You Gotta Move", so move I did, traveling the byways sideways even a lot of driveways, picking up sticks and psychological tics, even movin' to Beverlee through a quaint misunderstanding of the seriousness of TV series, until finally I blew up so big the carry nation incarnation tarnation couldn't hold me no more, so I fixed my sights on yonder sitar, and like Queequeg and Paul Bowles and one of those abducted kids by the Pied Piper of Hamelin, I ventured forth to the larger world, pickin' and grinnin', doin' me some reckonin' and naughts from naughts, occasionally rightin', building me some buildings and wiring and just trying to understand the babble comin' out of people's mouths and heads, I finally ended up in what Rummy quaintly calls "New Europe", which ain't so new from what I sees, but that pit in my stomach from lack-of-moving-sickness finally disappeared, and instead I sit behind a whopping big desk stacked with missives from all the chiefs with big whampum around the world telling me "what's going on". Which seems like a load of boolshit to me, but I guess that's what keeps me busy and entertained now, separatin' the weeds from the chapstick.
So my name is Perry Keys, or Peracles to you, and since my mammy always said, "say please and thank you", I added the please, but I'm holdin' back on that thankee until I feel you've earned it. But do welcome, and I hope we's a gonna have a real good time. It all starts with, "I wuz born a poor young white chile livin' in the South..." and we cycle through again, like Nietzsche and his infernal regurgence. So enjoy, and let's spin a spell...

I stopped by an exhibit in the station this eve, a nice large format profile of dozens of homeless and the sheltered, their stories - the guy who finds out he's adopted when he finally gets his various documents on leaving high school, the woman who manages to free herself from an abusive husband only to lose her leg to disease and get thrown out of guest work in England, another who can't manage to stay off the juice, one's a mechanic who works hard but always finds himself on the wrong end of some scam or people who don't pay the bills. They describe their day, how they survive and pass the time. I see similar folks in front of the station, handing out their magazines trying to earn a few coins of respectable money in return for their soup and sandwich. Some have started giving tours to tourists and locals, showing the city from the homeless point of view, even though one's a struggling male prostitute with AIDS, others have different impediments that make it unusual for them to mingle and present their world.
"There are a million stories in the naked city - this has been a few of them". A few that cut through.
In the weird hope that Republicans and Democrats will get along, except the GOP doesn't want to get along. Yep, another faithless elector ditched Hillary for "the water". Fire water at least, I hope. Sigh. Yep, time for the electoral college to go, it blew its 1 chance to be useful.
Watching Michael Moore's "Sicko", I was struck by how many attractive photos he had of Hillary. How many times did press and GOP pull out the most awful pictures to give the idea of Hillary as an ugly duckling - part of their effort to destroy her and us, especially after her "could have stayed home to bake cookies" comment and the Hillarycare debacle.. Here's the best of her oft-changing fashionable photogenic side.
Hillary's warmongering was a prob - wanton bombing of civilians in a historic city, not so much. Hey, we're doing gas pipelines in Indian territory this year - maybe we can get you on next year's agenda, though hurry, it's stacking up. Meanwhile, apparently Assad and Putin were just joking about letting civilians leave.
Aleppo's now looking like Warsaw in The Pianist. But hey, Hillary's emails... and Nuland said "Fuck the EU"!!! And American imperialism!!!!!!!
Watch the video, read the summary below from Nabell Azeez, figure out how Trump is manipulating things - not how we want politicians to behave or think he's winning (or think he's losing). (PS - this was all stuff from 10 months ago.)
