The wayward wind

Oh, the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And she was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind

In a lonely shack by a railroad track
She spent her younger days
And I guess the sound of the outward bound
Made her a slave to her wand'rin ways


I love that old 1956 song….
With an ugly crack in a railroad shack he spent his younger days…. Ha, ha, ha.

It’s clear that the Lisa monkey just wants to be as free as the wind. Having given her a place to sleep for a while I expected her to do the responsible thing and get out and get a job and take responsibility for herself and get a roof over her head.

But as far as I can tell she just spent the time screwing off. She was in fact offered a job but told the man that she would be hit and miss showing up for work because she wants to do other things also. Yeah, wander around scrounging for things, she is very good at that.

But she has no place to put all she collects and leaves her finds at friends places saying that she will collect them soon, yeah, right. One thing I made clear when I let her stay here was that she couldn’t bring more stuff here, but she did smuggle in some items anyway.

She was supposed to be leaving on Sunday, I gave her plenty of warning that I was only providing her with two weeks of shelter while she got her shit together. On Sunday she had some excuse for not leaving but promised that she would leave on Monday. But Monday evening her things were still here (she was gone all day long) and she slipped in after I went to bed. So she was now trespassing, I could just call the police but no point in making her deal with that.

But enough of that shit. She is a screw off and screw up and won’t listen to people like me that try to give her good advice. She isn’t going to get a job, the taxpayers will end up supporting her lazy wandering ass, but I’m damn sure not going to, if she wants to be as free as the wind she can just damn well blow her ass somewhere else.

Tuesday morning she was up and out of the yard without coming over and saying a word to me. Called me in the evening just before I was fixing to remove her belongings from my camper. She was at Serenity House, a homeless shelter with a pretty good program, if she can handle their rules. Wanted to know if she could come and get her things, of course, please do. She left some things here, I gave her a stern lecture and told her she only had two weeks to retrieve them or I was getting rid of them, it’s nothing she needs anyway.

Hallway sex, ever had that? It’s where you pass each other in a hallway and she gives you the finger and says, ‘Fuck you’. And you give her the finger and say, ‘Fuck you.’

Things You Won't See On Hallmark Cards… OUTSIDE: As the days go by, I think of how lucky I am...
INSIDE: That you're not here to ruin it for me. …. OUTSIDE: Looking back over the years that we've been together, I can't help but wonder... INSIDE: What the fuck was I thinking?

Well, it’s laundry day here at Polly’s Honky Tonk Saloon and Whorehouse, payday also, and the first order of business is to take a nap.

Hey, have a great day, simply and peacefully, hugs….. BBC

A few readers seemed to think that the sweet 55 Chevy is mine, it isn't.

The Lisa monkey did understand that I was trying to help her with my lectures, not that she thinks in ways beneficial to her or can follow good advice.

But she did give me a hug and kiss on the cheek when she came to pick up her belongings, that's better than the attitudes I've gotten from some people I've tried to help.

My blood pressure is 136 over 80, not bad for an old fart that's worked his body hard for many years. But maybe that's what keeps it in shape.

I guess I’ll just talk to myself. I went over to Rick’s shop yesterday after work for a few beers and Alan, the construction monkey was there. I’m mentioning the monkeys all the time (Rick gets it) and it cracks Alan up, he just doesn’t get it. I don’t know what he thinks he is, he isn’t religious, but he’s still just another damn evolved monkey.

Interesting video.
It was nice of you not to call the police. At least Lisa did finally get out and move on. It doesn't sound like she will ever change though.

Mentioning monkeys cracks Alan up but he doesn't get it? What does he think you are talking about?

you're a mean one mr grinch.

BBC said...

Well, Billy P, if you want to take care of her I'll send her to you.

BBC said...

Anyone that has read the book, 'I'M OK - YOUR OK' will understand that it's the child (9 year old) component in her that controls much of her life.

BBC said...

And that doesn't make her OK. It just makes her screwed up.

Karen said...

Yer an ole' softie. :o)

btw, also love that 1956 song!

I could have used the second card right before I got divorced. Ha!

Lisa... no good deed goes unpunished as said by Murphy's Law. You were good to give her that much time and kind to let her leave some things.

BBC said...

Well, I've known Lisa for a few years, I know that she collects things and then abandons them and I don't want her leaving them here.

I'll give her some time, she is sweet in a way but I don't want to store her belongings that she will never be back for.

If a person wants to collect stuff, and I have no problem with that because I do, they have to have their own space to store it in.

It's not right to expect others to store things long term for you, at least I don't think so.
