LOST BIRD TOOTS OWN HORN
FAREMOUNT. Alas, I have come down from my sarcasm with an update on the life and times of Lost Bird, Hair-e Guy and the R.A.G. Files.
Hair-e Guy: Hair-e is in transition. He came back early from his trip in South America as he needed emergency hemoroid surgery, which he had done down there and came back to the normalcy (bah-hah-hah) of the United States. He and his girlfriend Nice Spinner came bearing gifts. Thanks for the illegal rum, I'm still coming down off that trip. (hint: do not mix expensive rum and anti-depressants). They both took a hiatus from their hiatus at the Spam Spinner Relaxation Resort in Brewman. Spending a few weeks recooping and getting to know their neices. Then Hair-e bought himself a brand spanking new compact car (since gas was costing $10.50 a gallon then). This purchase also proved my assumption that Hair-e is selling more than herbs as he bought it without a job. No need to worry though, Hair-e and Nice are back in their same digs in St. Paul and he is working at a half-way house and Nice is helping out kids with disabilities in schools (hence, her nick name). Hair-e promises to contribute when the stress of the new job eases off a bit.
Lost Bird: Me, yes well, I'm working back in Faremount as that dirty SOB in Omaha never paid me for 8 months. I was unemployed for 3 months until a telemarketing company picked me up. Let me tell ya, selling cable and internet to the East Coast is like bringing McDonalds to a PETA convention. I've never been called more names than I did on that job. I'd rather be an African American cop in L.A. I'm still engaged. At least this week. But the love is still there. This week. ha-ha. Anyhow, I'm working for a scale manufacturer repairing scales. See what 2 years of art school, 2 years law enforcement school gets you? Anyhow, I'm off the anti-depressants, no insurance and with all the medical bills I was getting in the mail, well, that was just making me more depressed. I have a computer at home now so I don't have to worry about the Nazi at the library anymore. Also, I'm back with the band Down Tyme. The band is a disfunctional mess right now but I think we'll get it all ironed out soon.
R.A.G. Files: Well, we've finally reached the 1,000 viewer mark and I've been really impressed with where people are reading us. Syria, India, Spain, Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Asia, and all over North America. Shouts go out to California, Florida, Washington, Virginia and a constant reader from Heron Lake, Minnesota. What do we plan in the future? Well, to be honest, this whole thing started as an excercise to get our writing juices going and as a way to vent our frustration over the local and the main government, and now a year later...At anyrate. Want to thank those of you who read us regularly. I'm hoping that some of you are getting the word out on this blog if you like it. And please comment often. But I'm avoiding the subject of the future...well, my plans are to do some advertising. Nothing big, maybe some bumper stickers and some t-shirts, buttons...if you have some interest in this please drop me an email. I am getting tired of covering up the names of people and places in the R.A.G., and will be looking into legal matters regarding this. It's been really fun so far doing this and what a great way to vent! I'm also thinking of taking on some of your stories in the R.A.G. Afterall, it would be nice to see how ludacris your town is. More on that later, I'll have to come up with some guidelines and stuff. But keep reading and tell your friends about how you read about the wonderful city of Faremount, nestled in the county of Moon Valley, in the state of Minnesota, in the Midwest of the United States, in the continent of North America, in the Western Hemisphere, on the planet Earth, in the Milky Way, in the Universe....
