WELL, FIRST YOU SHOULDNT TAKE CLOWNS SERIOUSLY AND TRULY THE SORROW IS MINE AND NOT YOUR DILEMMA. ITS MY HAT THAT WEEGEE IS THINKING FOR ME AND ITS BETTER THAN A PHOTO OF MY FAMILY ALL OVER THE STREETS OF NEW YORK CITY. THE GOOD THING IS THAT WE ALL LIVE ON AND A JET IS A JET FROM HIS FIRST CIGARRETTE TILL HIS VERY LAST BRATHE. SOOO YOU WILL LIVE FOREVER IAN. YOUR MEMORIES ARE STRONGER THAN A MONKEYS WRENCH.

FOLK, MY GOD IS HONU AND HE IS THE KEY TO UNLOCKING MY HIGHEST POTENTIAL FOR MODERN LIVING. MY HOPE IS TO BE AN ADVERTIZER AND MOVE ON TO BEING A PROMOTER AND IMPORTER OF THE FINEST MATERIALS THE WORLD CAN OFFER HAWAII IN ITS RAW FORM: THE IDEAL IS TO WORK FOR THE GOVERNMENT AND GOVERNOR AS AN AIDE TO BUILD AND DESIGN THROUGH MASS MEDIA AND CONVENTIONAL FACTORIES TO REAP HIGH TAX CUTS TO BUY BACK LAND AND LEASE IT TO TOURISM WHILST PEOPLE WITH AN OPEN AND RESPONSIVE GOVERNMENT-SUCH GOVERNOR LINGLES STANCE IN POLOTICS LOCALY. MY LORD IS SUPPOSED TO BE ALL OF US ME AS A LEARNER OF THESE RESPONSIBILITIES MEANS THAT A GOAL IS UNITE THE LOCAL CHURCHES OF JOSHUA AND LET OUR BODY MAKE OUR LAWS FIT FOR THE TRUE MASTER WHOM WILL REVEAL HIMSELF WHEN WE HAVE PUT ASIDE OUR TRANSGRESSIONS-FOR THOSE WHOM HAVEN'T ALREADY DONE SO ALREADY. NEXT SEMESTER I TAKE COMMUNICATION ARTS AS MY SECON ASSOCIATES DEREE AND MY FOLLOWING THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND TAKING CLASSES IN HELPING PEPLE COPE WITH THEIR MIXED ETIONS WHILE I TAKE TIME ON NEW ROCK AND ROLL MATERIAL FOR A MORE EDGY CLASSIC FEEL TO MY APPROACH. THE OCCATION FOR THE CLOWN WAS TO SHOOT HIM DOWN. SERIOUSLY. PEOPLE LIKED IT BUT I DIED IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO START A JOKE...................................THAT.................................STARTED THE WHOLE WORLD CRYING. WHO? HAS THE LAST LAUGH? FOLK?................................

IAN, YES IT IS IMPORTANT FOR TO TAKE MEDICATIONS, AND AS MY EXPLAINATION OF MIMI OR MICHELE GOES E ARE WED. SO, SOON WITHIN 3 YEARS OF RECOVERY WE PLAN TO MARRY. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS SORROW AND HOW WOE IS ME FOR BEING ABLE TO CRY AND SING ABOUT LOVE AGAIN. ALTHOUGH MIMI CAN BE CRUEL AND ACTS HELPLESS. MY BET IS SHE NEEDS ME AND MY PLAN IS TO FOLLOW HER STEP BY STEP TO HER RECOVERY AND BOOST HER MORALE WHEN WE GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER BETTER AND HEAL OTHER. SEE THE THING IS I DONT KNOW ABOUT CLOUDS AT ALL AND I DONT KNOW LOVE AFTER ALL.

Important to take your medication but more important to take charge of your own case.
Have you listened to Joni Mitchell lately? Here's the lyrics I found..
Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
Ive looked at clouds that way

Moons and junes and ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel it
As every fairy tale comes real i
Ive looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So so many things I couldve done
But clouds

Angeldust gets in your eyes your hair
On acid stars your getting there
My bodys assembled into
A little itty bitty gift to you
When you die Ive looked at life that way

But now its just another show
You leave em laughing when you go
So so dont let them inside, dont let them know
Dont give yourself ohh away

But now my friends are acting strange
They shake their heads man they say Ive changed well
Well somethings lost rearranged
From living every every every ive

Ive looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
Its just illusions I recall

I really dont know I really dont know
I really dont know I really dont know
I really dont I really dont clouds at all
Why are we here...terrified terrified wow

I don't recognize that last line...it must have been added by whomever posted the lyrics.

Now Dustin McCoy. Where does he work, what do you want me to learn from him, and what is his number. Maybe it you were to write a brief history of your association with him. My understanding is that you were placed with him by your rehab counselor? Well, why don't you tell me from the beginning. Just the big picture, please, what I need to know in order to interact intelligently with him.

IAN,
LET ME EXPLAIN THAT JUSTIN MC COY IS A GOOD MAN AND MY PROBLEMS ARE NOT HIS. HE BROUGHT ME INTO HIS SELF MADE SHOP, FOUNDED WITH OTHER PARTNERS. THE FIRST MEETING WAS GLEEFUL AND HE TOOK ME UNDER HIS WING AS AN APPRENTICE. THE ONLY THING THAT SEPERATED US WAS AGE AND HEALTH. JUSTIN IS VERY TALL TO ME ANS GRAGARIOUS. I REALLY WANTED TO BE PART OF A GOOD GROUP OF FELLOWS ALTHOUGH JUST WAS THE OMLY ONE WHO WOULD SEE ME. HIS OTHER PARTNERS AND FRIENDS WERE ALOOF AS IF I WAS NOT WELCOME. TO THIS DAY I DONT KNOW WHAT THEIR MOTIVES WERE AND MY DISCERMENSHIP TELLS ME THAT THEY JUST NEEDED TO RETURN A FAVOR OR HAVE A LITTLE MERCY ON A GUY WHOM HADN'T WORKED IN A LONG TIME. THERE WAS GOOD GUIDANCE BETWEEN JUSTIN AND ME AN HELPED WITH SOME OF THE DESIGNS, SO KNOWING THIS ABOUT THE BOTH OF US, HE WAS A TRUE BROTHER TO ME. ME ON THE OTHER HAND NEEDED TO TAKE LIFE IN STRIDE AND NOT PERSONAL TOO SERIOUSLY.
MY PHONE CALL MUST HAVE UPSET THE CREW AND MY APPOLOGIES CAN ONLY BE GIVEN BY MARCHING OVER THERE AND LETTING JUSTIN KNOW THAT I WILL NOT BID ADO TO A PERSON SUCH AS HIM AND HIS COMPANY AND WOULD STILL LIKE TO DESIGN FOR THEM. THAT DOES NOT IN ANY WAY MEAN HANGING AROUND THE SHOP AND CAUSING ILL FEELINGS. MY OFFER IS JUST ONE IN A MANY OF ODDBALL STUFF THAT COULD BE USED AFTER I LISCENCE THEM FOR THEIR GAIN.
THIS IS BUSINESS AND MY WORK ARE JUST SCRATCTHING THE SURFACE OF MY PERFECTION AND GENUINE PERSON. PLEASE CALL JUSTIN @THE SHOP @(808) 255-5155

ALL FOR LOVE
BIG AL

This is mainly to let you know I've been in here and have read what you wrote. I know enough to call Justin to ask him his perspective on how you've fit into his shop but I would still appreciate it if you would tell me what you hope I will learn. Do you have any questions you would like me to be able to answer after talking with him? This is your BIG chance.
love, duke

Al,
Just in case I didn't make myself clear on the telephone, I was feeling quite frustrated while on the phone with you, partly because I couldn't hear you, couldn't understand what you were saying, and what little I did hear it sounded like you were pissing and moaning about everyone else and were failing to take any responsibility for the quality of your relations with others. Maybe I should have simply listened sympathetically while you unloaded and got things off your chest. I'm not really sure and I'd appreciate a little feedback from you. What did I do wrong? Rather than sit here and blame you for my frustration I'd like to learn how to engage you more constructively. I was hoping the phone would work but maybe we should try working here. Let me know what you think.
love, Ian

IAN
WE HAVE TALKED MAYBE TOO OFTEN ON THE PHONE TOGETHER, YET ONCE IN AWHILE MY GRATITUDE WOULD BE APPRECIATED T GET VERBAL COMMUNICATION TO YOU.
LIKE, WHEN MY MENTION THAT OTHRS ARE TO TO BLAME AND YOU IGNORED THAT AND WERE PEVED REALLY TOOK ME BACK. STATE WORKERS THERE IS A BROTHER THAT EVEN AGREES THAT MY SITUATION IS TRUE AND THE FACT THAT PEOPLE ARE JUST NOT SIDING WITH ME EVEN WITH ALL OF MY LEG WORK TO GET BACK TON SCHOOL.
THE FACTSARE THAT SOME PEOPLE ACTUAULLY DO CARE AND AS FOR HCC I WAS TOLD I COULD NOT EVEN CALL THEM TO IRON OUT THE SITUATION THAT MY LIFE IS IN WHICH IS GETTING BACK TO SCHOOL, THAT IS A CREDENCE I FIND UNAMERICAN AND BIGOTED, THEY ARE REALLY PISSING ME OFF AND ON TOP OF THAT MY CASE WORKER SUGARS ME UP AND DOES NOT THINK THAT I NEED HIM ACCORDING TO THE CHANCELLOR OF HCC ASMY LIASON, FURTURMORE HEHAS NOT EVEN TAKEN STEPS TO GET ME INTO A MEETING SO THAT THE RESOLUTIONS CAN BE MADE. FIRST A DOCTORS NOTE MUST BE FILED STATING THAT MY LIFE IS NOT A THREAT TO OTHERS AND MYSELF, THAT I STAY WITHIN THE STATUTES OF THE MORAL CODE OF THE CAMPUS GUIDELINES AND MY CASEWORKER KEEPS UP WITH MY PARTICIPATION IN CLASSES AND THAT MY STUDIES DO NOT INTERUPT CLASS.
OTHER THAN THAT I HAVE DEBTS TO PAY, LOVE IS IN HOSPITAL LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE OPENING UP TO ME AND ARTIFICIALLY SHOWING FRIENDSHIP THE PHONE IS RINGINGB OFF THE HOOK (AT SOMEONE ELSES HOUSE) AND MY CARE FOR MY FRIENDS IS OUT THE FRIGGEN WINDOW AS FOR JUSTIN MC COY AND THEB TATOO PARLOR NEXT DOOR, PERHAPS THEY OUGHT TO BE MORE SINCERE AND INTELLIGENT CAUSE MY MADNESS DRIVES ME EVEN CLOSER TO THE BRINK OF HOMOCIDE AND THIS IS FOR THE REASON THAT MY MIND CANT TAKE FRIGGEN ABUSSIVE PEOPLE AND MY LIFEIS SURROUNDED WITH EM. MY PRAYERSARE THAT MY LIFE FINDS A SOLUTION TO THIS COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN BEFORE SOMETHING OR SOMEONE THINKS THEY CAN TAKE ME ON PHYSICALLY WITHOUT JUSTIFICATION. ME FOR ONE THINK POEPLE THINK THEY CAN SAY ANYTHING ON THE RADIO KTUH AND EXCLUDE MY PASSION FOR A RELEASE OF COMMUNICATION. IT ISAS IF PEOPLE THINK THEY WON THEC WAR AND ALLL THE BATTLES AND STILL LOOK AT THIS TOWN. IT THE SAME ASIT EVER WAS, EXCEPT WITH MORE DIDAIN FORME AND PEOPLE LIKE ME

LOVE AL

Dear Al,

Several things came to mind as I read your reply.
1. The fact that someone may agree with you doesn't mean that what you think is 'true' for everyone. What we think or claim to be 'true' is mainly self-serving.
2. You strick me as all worked up, like in an agitated state and I'm left wondering when you last took a hike, jumped in a lake or took time out to fly a kite. Try taking a bus up to the top of Tantalus and look at the world from there. I find it looks very tranquil from there.
3. I've mentioned your propensity to blame before. Now I've dug up a favorite quotation for you. I hope my efforts pay off and you take it to heart:
"Epictatus says, "One of the signs of the dawning of moral progress is the extinguishing of blame. We see the futility of finger pointing. The more we examine our attitudes and work on ourselves, the less we are apt to be swept away by stormy emotional reactions in which we seek easy explanations for unbidden events. These simply are what they are. Other people think what they will think; it is of no concern to us. No shame. No blame."

So Alister, if you read what I've written and have a reaction you can share, please write me back.

love, Ian

IAN,
SOME PEOPLE DO AND DON'T DO AS THEY THINK . WHAT I MEAN IS SOME ARE DOUBLE FRIGGEN MINDED, KNOW AS YOU SAID THE" WE" DO WHAT "WE" DO OR WANT AND AS KNOWN PEOPLE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO EVEN TEST OR TRY TO CHANGE OTHERS MIND. THIS IS DEFINATELY AN ACT OF TREASON TO THE PERSONS LIFE LIBERTY AND PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS AND FURTHURMORE ARTIFICE IS VERY LOW, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS IN CONTROL
NAZIS ARE VERY GOOD AT THIS, AND THEY ARE OUT TO GET ME....... THROUGH ALL YOU MENTIONED AND "THE ENEMY OF MINE". PLEASE, HELP ME UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS NOT MEAN THING TO SAY IT JUST ME TELLING PEOPLE TAKE ALOOKING INTO THEIR MIRROR AND ASK THEMSELVES ARE THEY IN JAIL, TROUBLE OR ARE THEY DOING THE RIGHT THING.
LOVE JACK

Duke said...

Al,
I found myself thinking again about your most recent phone calls, the ones in which you complain that a bill collector has threatened you harm.
First I want to know if that is correct, that you were actually threatened by this person.
Second, I would like his name and phone number. I will call him and talk to him about that. It is my understanding that such threatening tactics are illegal, perhaps legally classified as assault. At least I am willing to discuss the matter with the offending party. Just give me his name and phone number.
Finally, rest in peace, my friend.

Oh, one more thing. Let's move up to the top 'comments' and get a fresh start, the 'comments' for August 14th. I'll look there for the name and phone number.

love
