Listening to: Paranoimia, DN!, Crosseyed Mary, The ConstruKction of Light, a set of Jethro Tull-Aqualung, Locomotive Breath (can you name this tune in 2 notes?), Minstrel in the Gallery, Songs from the Wood, Teacher-yummy-this just wraps me in sound and makes me feel warm and snuggly-prolly because of all the memories it has-and with this mention, when you Google Kris Landess, this blog will show up as well as traces of the actual Kris Landess.
I really blew it with her-Judy Brandon, while sweet and someone I still really like the memory of, wasn’t worth the devastation of breaking up with Kris. I’ll admit that I was a pig, and a dog, during that time, to both women-they deserved better from me. I tried to do better with Sue Crow, and subsequent women I didn’t engage with until trying to get to see crazy Rhonda’s body, that short lived one-her name escapes me (Marcee Weddle-edited 10/2016), then Eileen, then Marybelle, then I went off the deep end, but that bit is all in old blogs. So, I did some really idiotic things, and it put me into a serious five year depression-I only got out of it completely when I went to Grand Cayman-London was a blur, and I drank so much that I wasn’t totally clear to do all the things that a city like that has to offer. Oh well-no worries-I cherish all the memories, good and bad, and I have pictures too. I could contact her, but let’s let sleeping dogs lie and let her initiate if she wants. I suppose if I truly start the process of recapitulation it’ll come back, much like Ellison’s story “All the Birds Come Home to Roost”. Enough light on my past.
