First of all, thanks to anyone who has ever read my writing.  I am well-aware that many improvements can be made.  To be honest, I've been fully aware that what I've been writing is a bunch of crap, but I never bothered to improve it because I didn't think anybody cared or was reading my stuff.
     What happens at the bar with my napkin art, is that people look at my work, and they often stop to read the ones with writing on it.  Many of these pieces have sold.  It is news to me that people would actually pay for my writing.
      Sometimes I get people involved in the 'writing business' buy my napkin art with writing on it.  They like it because of the combination of writing on a napkin soaked in acrylic paint, which firms them up a little.
      Anyway, I apologize for my bad writing.  I will make amends to do better.

      But will the homeless bum drinking 'Miller High Life Out The Door' who lays down on the cement in the alleyway do better?  He urinated while laying down with people around.  He just didn't care.  People got so pissed at him, they started yelling to kick him out of the area.  Some of the urine even got on Quik Draw's cardboard drawings.....( haha ).
      No one cares if he does better, but people expect a lot out of me for some reason.

      From my point of view, not many people bring in sketchbooks or notebooks to write or draw while they are having a drink, preferring conversation for hours.  I guess it fills in the time.
      I like to talk when it has some kind of purpose or objective.  Otherwise, I would rather get some work done.

      I don't know where 'The Drunken News' will go.  I'll keep doing it as long as I have fun.  Otherwise, what's the point?  The salary for writing 'The Drunken News' is $0.
      It has, however, netted me several free beers to keep it all going.
      Thanks goes to anyone who buys me a beer.  I appreciate it a lot, and it helps to fuel this blog with my jaded tales of drunkenness, without hopefully offending too many people.

      It is not my purpose to embarrass or poke fun at people too much.  I try to keep people's names out of it, and I have to refer to someone, I try to use their fictional name, if they have one.
      Other people I get super-annoyed with, and these people I don't care if I use their name or not because I feel they deserve it at times.

      Anyhow, thanks for reading, and thanks for the support.

      Sometimes, I wish I had the guts to go up to people and ask them for money like Larry does, but I just can't bring myself to do it.  Last night he asked a man for a dollar, and the guy gave him $3.  That is a good deal for Larry.  He is one of the most skilled beggars in all of San Francisco.  He's really good at it.  He scans every situation, and adjusts his tone accordingly for maximum beggarage....haha.

      I got home late last night from some extra drinking.  I am a train-wreck today.  I need a nap before work, so I can do the whole thing over again...haha.

     Cheers.

     If anybody has constructive criticism for me, I'll listen, but calling my writing 'verbal diarrhea' on facebook doesn't really help me.  It is just mean.  I forgave him, though.  If he is such a great writer, let's see him write something besides spam facebook posts.
