If I had to walk around with wooden teeth and those darling little knee socks and wig, I'd probably self medicate as well. Just a small town boy, ends up as the father of an entire country. Every major league players nightmare.
I dig it! I wonder, often, how we are percieved by the British. You may be wondering how we feel about the British? Maybe not? Either way, I can only tell you how I feel. The immediate thing that comes to mind is that I'm greatful for British support in our stupid wars. All war is stupid, but sometimes necessary, the necessary part is the part in question. That aside, I really love how your government heckles each other when they meet. Tony Blair, whether you like him or not, could not be one upped in smart assness. We love Tony Blair, right down to his widow's peak hair do, but we don't know him like you, and that really is something to consider.
What else? We love the Beatles. I really love Ian Brown and especially The Stone Roses. There's very little I don't love about the British. They're not as charming as the Irish, but the Irish can get on my nerves. I like to talk like the British and over do the accent. Me mum (notice i have slipped into my English accent here) gets pissed (not drunk as in Britain, but mad as in American. Mad as in American anger, but not mad as in British crazy. Though, it does make her crazy too.) when I employ my British accent.
Ian Fleming is the shit, I dig Daniel Craig as Bond, even though I held out for a period of one year, and there are many other things. America is such a media whore that it glitters from afar, but up close, depending on who you are and where you're at both mentally and physically, it can mutate into almost anything. I don't know what America looks like right now, I'm going on a pilgrimage to D.C. soon to get my bearings again. Please stop by my shitty blog and talk to me. I'm lonesome as hell. I'm the shit house poet from artgoodhitlerbad.com. Also, I enjoy reading, "This is Nottingham", on the internet. I look through the classified ads as if I am a Englishman seeking employment. It's a grand distraction. Another writer from England that I knew from yahoo wrote about a mischevous android from the future who had really human qualities. He also featured pictures of badgers with the caption "badger!". I wondered what that meant, and figured it was lost in cultural translation. Maybe someone will shed light on that for me? Oh, I get it, the teapot means you're English right? A reflection of English culture? Reading this is like taking a sip. Something foreign but oddly familiar. Nostalgia, maybe my own roots that have been bastardized in America? I can't rightly say. I wonder about that often, I don't have a group to claim other than American Southern White Trash. It's an abhoration to Americans, but interesting if you're not familiar with it. That wears off pretty quick.

he said no to drugs, but the drugs wouldn't listen.

Or, Washington meets Picasso.
Washington was high through the entire Revolutionary war: he froze his ass of at valley forge and didn't even notice.
As I understand he was very keen on the old Mary Jane, so I gather he wouldn't say now to the harder stuff
