And when she was all done, her coveted slot... Well, even many of the legally blind could've told her she'd never fit her car without encroaching on the "No Parking--Bus Stop" area.
So let that be a lesson to the perpetually cranky out there. (And we'll admit, we count ourselves among that crowd at times.)

A SPECIAL, TOUCHING SECTION APPEARING SUNDAYS ONLY
(Touching in some manner, anyway)
TODAY'S EDITION: The Creepy Gay Lush in the Other Room, Chapter Six--The Mountain of Mail
Now... Okay. I'm a bit anal. Over-organized. Some tend to kiddingly (?) use the term, "OCD" to describe me. Everything has an exact spot on my desk--and I can tell if someone's moved something, even just a week bit. I keep exactly three backup rolls of toilet paper in the bathroom cabinet.
When I retrieve the day's mail, I attend to it immediately. I'll even stop whatever I was doing to balance my damn bank statement when it arrives.
Thus I realize that most aren't as vigilant as I regarding their mail. They may set it aside, tend to it later. Perhaps they wait a day. Perhaps they dig in and catch-up on the mail once a week.
Okay, sometimes there's a busy or stressful week(s) and people take...even longer than that to get to their mail.
But Cleveland... Well.
One of the few things Cleveland brought to my condo living situation was a little table for the kitchen. While the kitchen would be quite cluttered with a full-on dinner table and chairs, that semi-circle table was a nice addition. Or would've been.
It held numerous Cleveland items. A kitchen scale, his vegetables and garlic, usually in various stages of rot. Clothes. But mostly mail.
I'm not sure of the technical definition of the term, but "mountains" might literally apply to his mail piles.
There was no room for me to use that table for dick.
Considering that I was never sure of his sobriety level, and that he kept to himself in an extreme way, I just left his mail on that table, where he could see it. Which was easy enough.
Until it got to the point where the pile became piles. And you'd put a letter or two atop and that'd start pieces sliding all over. I tried to keep it as orderly as possible, newer mail atop, but eventually I was content with tossing his newest mail somewhere amid the mountains and pushing back the piles so it'd all stay on the table.
Occasionally, he'd catch-up on the mail.
But not often.
Sure, much of his mail was from bill collectors, or junk mail, etc., etc. And undoubtedly, some of the bills could be tended to online.
But we're talkin' about pieces that were obviously cards, wedding invites and such. I'd try to keep such things atop, even when another day's mail would otherwise chronologically cover them.
Didn't matter.
He'd eventually catch-up on months of mail, just before moving-out, through the Great Straighten-Up... But we're getting ahead of ourselves.
I'm still freakin' amazed, thinking about those mountains and mountains of mail...

A SPECIAL, TOUCHING SECTION APPEARING SUNDAYS ONLY
(Touching in some manner, anyway)
TODAY'S EDITION: The Creepy Gay Lush in the Other Room, Chapter Seven--Where are the Dancer Chicks?
I think I've more than made my point regarding my idea of a good renter/roommate. Someone who pays on time and keeps to his- or herself for the most part--so that I could largely live as if I didn't NEED to rent part of my condo to a virtual stranger.
While I lean toward the "completely separate lives" side of things, and certainly couldn't handle a typical college dorm buddy-buddy arrangement full-on into adulthood, there's something to be said about balance. SOME balance.
As long as someone IS living with me (I could never fully pretend to be living alone), I'd prefer some form of interaction. Basic, "How's it going?" stuff and updates if, say, the renter/roommate is leaving town for a couple days or something.
Hell, I'd even perhaps be up for something more. Thus, knowing that Cleveland was the artsy sort, I mentioned plans to hit the gallery openings once, not completely inviting him, but sorta leaving an opening.
I see that as a dangerous fine line, of course, and I'm still not sure I WANTED him to accept but... There is certainly a happy medium.
As it were, Cleveland took "completely separate lives" further than I'd thought possible.
While I wasn't sure I actually wanted to hang-out with the guy, I WAS sure that I wanted him to have company at the homestead. On certain terms, of course--not too early or late, without excess noise, keeping out of my way, not being annoying, etc.
Actually, I had very specific company in mind--dancer chicks.
Yeah, as soon as I knew Cleveland was moving in, I started thinking about all the hot dancer chicks he'd inevitably worked with and envisioned them stopping by. Perhaps stretching in the kitchen in tight-fitting leotards and such.
Oddly enough, whenever I've MET a pro dancer chick, her bod and such hasn't lived-up to the idea of "dancer chick" that causes guys to aspire toward dating them. Perhaps because dance requires a certain musculature, perhaps because there's an unrealistic ideal set.
But regardless... Dancer chicks! I couldn't wait.
But wait I did.
For the two & 1/2 years he lived with me.
In vain.
In fact, Cleveland NEVER had visitors.
Well, I shouldn't say NEVER, because I wasn't there 100 percent of the time...although I was around close that that, working freelance... Okay, being marginally employed freelance.
I also shouldn't say NEVER because he DID have a couple of visitors, eventually. Male visitors. And none of those were of the romantic sort.
Gay guy. Still with a dancer bod. Living in a part of town known to some as "Boys Town."
Now, even if you set aside the dancer angle, he should've brought CHICKS over. Hot chicks. Excuse me for waxing toward stereotyping but... Don't chicks LOVE gay guys?
But like the cleanliness thing, Cleveland didn't conform to the stereotype on that level.
Oh, he seemed to TALK with a lot of chicks on the phone.
But my place seemed to him to be a hideaway, of sorts, where he could live a certain lifestyle in shame and have nobody bother him about it.
So perhaps in his "normal" state, he would conform to many stereotypes.
But "normal" is far from the word I'd use to describe his typical state...

A SPECIAL SUNDAY EXTRA SECTION
(IN BLAZING COLOR... IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT JUST RIGHT)
BY MIKE "BOOM" CHMIELECKI
TODAY'S POEM: Life as an in-flight movie
For Act I, I want to see two
comically mismatched people.
She should be statuesque, with
stunning legs, an immaculately
expensive haircut.
He should be handsome but slovenly,
too blunt, so that she disgustedly
calls off the whole evening.
We need a good reason to get
them together in Act II. Let's get edgy;
have someone close to them die. They
can meet up in the ragged void
of someone's shattered life.
Perhaps he comforts the widow with
such grace that our heroine revises
her memories of that terrible first date.
Act III. She feels guilty about the
sparks that are building into a slow-
burning fire. (Note to director: When
they finally fuck, keep any coffins
out of view.) Have her so agonized
over her decision to pursue happiness
that the widow herself explodes
into an emotionally resonant scene.
I'm picturing her in tasteful black,
leaning for support against a kitchen counter
dappled with afternoon light. She should put
aside her own grief to set her friend on course:
Wake up! This is the only life we get!
My husband would be so happy to see you two together!
Etc.
Make her the maid of honor in reward.
Perhaps, upon leaving the verdant field
where the picturesque outdoor wedding will be set,
the beaming couple can meet their own horrific,
sudden end -- the jaunty scrawl of Just Married
on the limo's back window spit up into the street.
All the better for new people to meet
at their funeral and find love;
it would be selfish to wish otherwise.

TODAY'S EDITION: The Creepy Gay Lush in the Other Room, Chapter Eight--The Right Word
I first learned of the word "lush" to describe an alcoholic in...junior high, I think?
My mom used it to describe the mother of a schoolmate.
Like all new words, I found it interesting. But I never used it. Seemed...outdated, or something?
"Drunk," "wino," "alkie" and even "crock" were terms I'd used. (I do have a fondness for terms once, but not currently, popular.)
But not "lush."
Yet as I started to know Cleveland... Well, after two & 1/2 years I NEVER got to "know" him, but as I began to...er, experience his presence, the word "lush" kept coming to mind.
Now, other writers well know--and isn't just about everyone a "writer" these days, what with blogs and Facebook posts and such?--that while words may essentially MEAN the same thing, each has its own nuances.
"Wino," for instance, seems more to fit, say, a homeless alcoholic. "Crock"... Personally, I picture an older guy, likely the ornery sort, more of a keep-to-himself boozer than a party dude.
Now, some specific word usage tendencies derive from historical usage, alliteration and such. For instance, "crock" is similar to "crank."
But some reasons for specific word choice undoubtedly relate to personal experience and such.
And for whatever reason, "lush" seemed to be the best word for Cleveland.
Not entirely sure why. Just seemed to suit him. Thinking about my old schoolmate's now late other, I guess she had the same hair color and complexion as Cleveland but... It's more than that.
Maybe the reasons will become more apparent as the tale further unfolds...

Ditka, too, wears the 'stash.
The last NBA basketball championship from the Bulls? Coached by Phil Jackson.
Jackson... Well, he oft appears with a full beard, or extra scruffy, and he's went through clean-shaven periods but... Known mostly for that moustache.
Major League Baseball... Chicago White Sox skipper Ozzie Guillen brought the last series win with... Well, goatee. But that includes a moustache, and is closer to a moustache than a full beard.
The Cubs... Gee, we have to look into that one, since it hasn't happened since... The manager in 1908 was Frank Chance who... No moustache.
But considering that was a century ago, NOT having a moustache then was much like HAVING one today. Today, while facial hair is popular, just a moustache isn't so much--but in those days, it seems EVERYBODY had facial hair. And those moustaches were the crazy ones, handlebars and such.
Conclusion? A moustache means power, success--and super sexiness, to boot!
Did I mention that... As a guy, having tried most every facial hair look, but avoiding just the moustache for my whole life (at least for long), perhaps because it seemed too '70s or something... I've recently been bearing the 'stash?...

Ahh... The day after an election in Chicago--long-time Slapper Yapper Grasshoppers know we compile these editions a day ahead of time... Small election, although the new mayor thing is big (but no surprise from the results whatsoever)...some aldermen, etc... Pick-up the morning newspaper and a couple pages of coverage should suffice... Hell, one story's enough...that's pretty much what they allot to the coverage of historic events unfolding in the Mid-East...wish they would've given THAT much to the pre-Comcast/NBC/Entire Entertainment World-Moo-ha-hawww Monster Merger story...and... What's this?
A 12-page pullout section on the election? Wow! Guess we'll have to go through that... Should take us, geez... A minute longer than the auto section we feel compelled to flip through, despite its utter uselessness to us?
Can't imagine why the Major Media are seen as increasingly irrelevant...

With the long-time-coming pushes for Democracy erupting--and seeing success--across the Muslim World... Well, it's a step forward for not only them, but the entire Free World. With global society interconnected more than ever, why, other than a few despots and their toadies, who could possibly see anything BUT good in these events?
Hmmm... Headline--
"Oil Industry Braces for Fallout"
Well, er... Guess this is one of those cases where we don't need to add anything--witty, "witty" or otherwise...

If you pay any attention, you know you can slide...take weeks off...fire off one-sentence editions... On ENTERTAINMENT, not PHYSICS or anything... Bastards... I should have a better slur name for ya', but bastards seems to fit so well...
Bastards...

Joel loved giving oral--chicks jiggled!
In tune with his tongue and lips, wriggled!
So grew huge moustache
which so tickled gash
unleashed queefs that sounded like giggles!

Thus completes our trilogy of Moustache Limericks... Feel free to pause in awe for a bit...
U.S Sen. Harry Reid, of Nevada... Allow us to pause and point something out.
Reid is a Democrat. In fact, a Big Cheeze Democrat in Congress.
Anyway, Reid is urging the state congress of Nevada to de-legalize prostitution.
Gather 'round, grandchildren, and I'll tell you about a time when political movements like "liberal" and "conservative" somewhat, sorta, sometimes approximated their original dictionary definitions...
According to a new study cell phone use increases brain activity. (http://health.usnews.com/health-news/family-health/brain-and-behavior/articles/2011/02/23/health-buzz-cell-phones-cause-brain-activity-changes)
Although, unfortunately, none of that brain activity is focused on driving down the street, walking down the sidewalk, dealing with the grocery clerk in the checkout lane...

MIKE'S ACCURSED VERSE 2/27/2011:
A SPECIAL SUNDAY EXTRA SECTION
(IN BLAZING COLOR... IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT JUST RIGHT)
BY MIKE "BOOM" CHMIELECKI
TODAY'S POEM: Easy traverse
Crawl across the cityscape
from the hotel window, fly.
From a deep dissolve
approach the spire
of the highest monument
you see, see, see.
The sky is orange, it
flickers with flecks
in your wings.
[If you'd like to praise or berate the poet, e-mail him at mpchmielecki@gmail.com. He won't bite--although he may chew a bit.]

DAILY LIMERICK 2/28/2011:

In one of the Midwestern GOP v. Democrat union standoffs, Iowa Rep. Charlie Brown... He hee.
