update downdate stalemate who you hate?

san jose was a wonderful, tiring, too short trip this past labor day weekend to celebrate with steve. today is his birthday but when you have a brain tumor you dont put things on hold. he looks great. he seems great. the tumor is reduced over 75% and the current reading has the doctors in shock. doctors should be in shock more. there is no prognosis ~ nobody knows what to say ~ so he and martha have trips planned to the east coast and europe and everywhere in the next few months. god bless them. i came home with an ear infection. water from swimming in hawaii and pressure from several plane rides did a little magic in my right ear. im working on it. but its just one more thing ~ i seem to be high maintenence right now. chase bank notified the dmv that i have no insurance on the leased vehicle that was returned over two months ago. chase bank is a dirty "see you next tuesday". i wrote a letter to both the dmv and chase. the financial supervisors from chase bank have never returned the phone calls to them to resolve this matter. is it over a month now? lawyers i contacted to help with the matter have never called back or returned calls. part of the stress of this situation is that nothing ever works. i feel like im the only person who speaks my language and everyone else is just smiling and nodding and then doing nothing. i have art coming up for sale at three auctions in the next six weeks. there seem to be issues with each of them but the most concern is with david ragos craftsman auction because the contract doesnt seem correct to me. i called his assistant last week but havent gotten a call back yet. im gonna need to step up the feng shui voodoo ~ especially for communication. o yeah and the head of the salem witch trial book burning of zero ones "revolution rapture" (my abstract drawings are on the covers and inside pages) has been harassing me. how can such a couple of great months be so bad?

chase bank assholes

i just sent a check for $1004.74 via priority mail so my account for the leased car i returned two months ago will not be delinquent. the dealer has the car. the bank will not accept the car (a 2004 volvo suv in great condition) without $30,000+ ~ actually more than the value of the car. so the bank wants both the car and more money than the car is worth... and then they want me to pay for them to auction the car so they can have that money too! the last asshole i spoke with at chase bank threatened to take me to court, threatened to take my house, my earnings, report me to the irs (why?), ruin my credit for life, and was so menacing i feared for my safety. seriously. i felt he was threatening my life and my familys lives. ever wonder what god has in store for someone who makes a living doing that? so i have begun some serious feng shui voodoo. nothing dark at all, nothing bad, but serious. a candle here, a mirror there... if i can get my clients out of major lawsuits without karma i can do it for myself. the funny thing is, this situation seems to be something easily resolved. that is why i didnt begin the feng shui work immediately. but i should have known: at the beginning of the year, i predicted conflicts and lawsuits for the man of the house. and i am the man, the man of the house! and so the game is on. i notified the better business bureau, the chamber of commerce, and all the local newspapers. and tomorrow im off to hawaii! the problem is, in america, with such a poor diet, assholes dont let go easily. maybe i should bring them a pineapple!

the plans

i am going to be gone from wednesday to wednesday, flying tomorrow to san jose to be with my friends martha and steve, then going to san francisco to meet chuck and fly to columbus ohio. steve grew up in a little town in ohio, roseville which is outside of zanesville ~ the pottery capital of the country, and he wanted to visit family and childhood friends. steve has a brain tumor. worst case scenario, inoperable, incurable. and yet it is now reduced 75%!!! his doctors attribute this to the chemo which has never worked on this kind of cancer, nothing has ever worked on this kind of cancer (in their book). they also attribute the damage to his heart to the chemo (which it does have a history of)... so steve is weak and has difficulty breathing and would not be able to travel alone... and martha is going to have a rest... and we boys are going to make an event of it. friday we will shop for pottery and visit with pottery friends. on saturday night there will be a big party in roseville. we will come back on tuesday and i return home on wednesday from the bay area. from san francisco to columbus we are flying the new sky bus. i am kinda excited to see how that works -- especially getting over 500 people on a plane in less than two hours... and then off again... of course, we have to get through the airport (with a wheelchair, drugs, and various voodoo acoutrements) first.
