another late call

after getting home from softball and eating out with friends (as opposed to eating out friends, i suppose... see previous entries for details), as i was contemplating the pros and cons of an immediate walk/run before sleep on the toilet seat (that is, contemplating, not sleeping on the commode), the phone rang and it was harpo asking if i was going for a walk tonight... that ended my contemplation and i told harpo to walk or drive over and i'd change and head out for a walk... as i said, calls from friends are welcome anytime... i might not always wake up if i am asleep, but i will usually answer no matter where i am...

just then, indiana tied up the first game of the eastern conference finals much to the chagrin of the egos on miami (they may be the best team in basketball right now, but they have turned me off with spoiled egocentric comments and behavior over the years and epitomize the ridiculous injustice and stupidity of the culture we live in where a few people who can play games well are in the top few percent of income and those who actually save lives, educate children, and care for those who need care are in too many cases at or near the poverty line and left with little time to play or do anything other than struggle to survive, but that's another story and not the professional players fault... their incomprehensible insensitivity, immaturity, and egocentrism, however, that they can take responsibility for if they really mean it when they thank their respective gods for their talents and blessings...

of, was i distracted?... well, i did not watch the overtime because i am tired of seeing the referees decide games (somewhere in some blog i've ranted about that a few times) and harpo came by and put his head on my shoulder... he was very down and we did head out for the walk... he needed to talk... harpo used to be in the hollywood industry, movies, that is, and a major u.s. corporation (disney) stole his work and made a bit of a profit without giving him any credit or compensation... harpo has become obsessed (mostly understandably) about bringing the corporate criminals (why should disny be any different than any other corporation) to justice and has been tangled in the web of a legal battle for almost a decade or so... you can read about it on the web if i can find the link one of these days...

the point is my friend needed a hug, a talk, and some wild sex... he got two out of three, which according to meatloaf, ain't bad, and he was almost laughing (though maybe not quite throwing narfetti) by the end of our ninety minute walk and talk... i was almost collapsing as the body seriously needed rest as i only slept four hours today (in the past 24) cuz i was playing with happiness all morning... i hope my friend gets out of his one-thought loop and finds other avenues for his emotional and creative life because while i support his case against the giant mouse, it is not too far from tilting at windmills and if that is all one does it can become unhealthy...

gonna sleep now, definitely sleep... nite nite...
