Honest Reporting for Christ's sake

     One thing is for sure, and that is that 'The Drunken News' is heavily influenced by alcohol.  That means you'll get honest reporting.  ( I've been called a liar with what I write, so I don't know.  The person who said that isn't too credible in my eyes, so I really don't know.   I know of one person who has said 'he is insane'.  Take it for what it is worth.  I don't exactly believe that myself, just so you know. )

     Anyway, it was a good time making napkin art last night.  I enjoyed myself.  I drank some beers, and painted to my heart's content, which made me feel real good.

     Also, my friend took me to a topless strip club.  We each had a vodka cran, and we looked at the women.  A couple of them were real cute.

     I like to watch dancers, and to make drawings from them.  My imagination goes wild, as the flood gates  of the imagination open up.

     To tell you what goes on with me nightly, well, I go up to my favorite bar on my bike, and I order a Raineer, and then I paint until closing time.  Often, I get some sales, which helps to support my drinking.  Some nights are good, some bad, but I always get a story or two of what goes on with people.

     I mostly try to keep people anonymous, unless I really hate them, lol.  Because as you know, what happens in a bar, should stay in a bar.  We wouldn't want people's secrets getting out there, not that I think it would matter anyhow.  However, I try to be polite and respectful of people's right to privacy.  Unless it is a story that everybody needs to know about, then it is my policy not to blow the lid off of things.

     ( Some people have such inflated egos, that they think what I write about them really matters to the world at large.  First of all, no one really cares about North Beach, much less people's little lives.  I've talked to people in San Francisco who don't even know where North Beach is, for Christ's sake. )

     I'm just sitting here thinking about gearing up for another night.  The hardest part of my job is making the decision to get off of my ass and bicycle up there yet again.  I've often sat for an hour dreading the chore.  But once I am on my bike riding, it is a good time, so I don't know why I procrastinate.  Maybe it is because painting is hard, and I enjoy the comforts of being in my studio.  However, sitting here nets me no money at all, so therefore I have to venture out nightly.

     It's not a bad life.  I have fun, and if there is nobody there to entertain me, I amuse myself.
