A bank for example

It’s been too long since I just started writing with no idea where it’s going to go and just see what I find. See I was a tad worried about doing this because most of my blogs are such wonderful delights of intrigue and creation which I didn’t want to lose, but as soon as I wrote that opening sentence I realized that I have naught to fear for I have opened an account at the bank of suspense. Will I find something good? Ooohhh suspense.

It’s like if you were in some sort of building, a bank for example, and there was talk of something happening there, a bank robbery perhaps, and you’d be all like:

‘Ooohhh I wonder if the robbery will happen while I’m in at the bank, so suspenseful, excuse me miss bank clerk, do you know when the bank robbery is happening?’

And she’d be all like:

‘Did you say bank robbery, you’re robbing the bank AAAGGHHHHGAGGAHHHHGAGGGHHHHHH, Dooooooonn’t shoooot meeeeee, pleeeaaasseeee, don’t shoooooooot me, I have a baby at home and I don’t want to leave him without a momma, I mean technically I guess he’s a toddler, and if I am being pedantic his father has remarried and we all agreed it was ok if he called his step mother, mom, just not momma, cause that’s me, I think that’s my right as a mother to reserve that name, I was the one that birthed him, and breast fed him, and changed his poopies, and I was one of only a few that played a part in him learning to talk, and which outlets in the house not to stick forks into, because we couldn’t afford to have them all made baby safe, and really why do they even make ones that aren’t baby safe, at some point a baby IS going to be in your house, so lets be realistic, I don’t want my baby getting electrocuted at my friend Donald’s house just because he doesn’t have his own kids so didn’t get the baby safe ones, and no, before you even ask, Donald is a friend, and only a friend, I have told my little baby’s, sorry toddler’s, Daddy this a thousand times, “well how do I know you ain’t fucking him” he’d say, and I’d be like “cause I said I ain’t fucking him that’s how”, that thick skulled ass, we don’t fuck ok, we just both really like playing Mario Cart so I go play it at his house, there is nothing wrong with that, he wouldn’t be complaining if Donald was Donna, now would he? He’d probably encourage it. Anyway, how is it still his business who I am or am not fucking? He’s left me and remarried and still asks. I ain’t fucking anyone that’s who! Unless you count my big plastic fun wand that was actually supposed to be designed to massage your back with. So please DOOOOONNN’TTT Shooooootttt’.

And the real bank robbers would be all like:

‘Oh shit, looks like someone beat us to it boys, thank god, he’s the one that has to picture in his mind that lady with her wand and not us! You know what, let’s quit bank robbing and go and get pie instead, everyone loves a nice slice of pie!’

Yep. Suspense is cool. And this blog had it somewhere. I’m happy with that, oh also I figured out how to get bank robbers to quit – pie. Sweet.

A Valuable Lesson - Really Valuable

A valuable lesson 

The cute little brown and white bunny named Sulli, had a comically enormous wide jawed bite with enormous teeth.

People liked to cuddle Sulli.

But Sulli didn't like to be cuddled. 

So the bites continued. 

'We've had a good thing going here for years Sulli' Kumni, another bunny, this one all black apart from a tiny white tip to his floppier left ear, said to Sulli one day 'don't ruin it you bastard, keep those comically large choppers of yours IN your mouth, or we may soon lose favor as the rodentesq creature most likely to be brought in doors to cuddle, you fucker!'

'You make me sad Kumni' responded Sulli 'for starters don't call us rodentesq, were NOT rodentesq, if that's how you feel about yourself then fine, I get it, you're kept in a cage specifically designed for ferrets, but just because THEY treat you that way doesn't mean you have to FEEL that way. Plus don't use "fuckers" as a derogatory term. We're rabbits motherfucker, and WE BREED LIKE RABBITS! Own it bitch. Or at least stop bringing your own species down with negative language and self loathing, got it!' 

Just then a human picked up Sulli for a cuddle. He bit the little girl. Hard. And it looked even worse given his comically oversized teeth. 

As the man of the house, in response to his daughter being bitten by such huge teeth, carried the two bunnies and a butchers knife into the kitchen, Sulli turned to Kumni and said 'look on the bright side, they probably wouldn't be planning on eating us if we were rodents'. 

Kumni responded with 'ferrets are not   rodents, they're weasels you stupid hug hating loser'. 

The Valuable lesson of course is, REALLY valuable - DON'T eat your pets.

Oh and give a ferret a go - they're NOT rodents.

Oh and bigger isn't necessarily better. 

Oh and just cause someone treats you a certain way doesn't mean you have to feel that way. 

Oh and don't hate on your friends you could both be eaten soon. I'm looking at you Kevin and Carlie! 

A story about being skinny

Trevor was skinny.

Really skinny.

Because everyone named Trevor seems to be skinny.

It's almost like a guarantee.

Your friend says ‘hey my friend Trevor is coming around’ and you picture him in your mind, then you always picture a skinny person.

Also you may wonder why you didn’t get an invite.

But that’s between you and your friend.

And his friend named Trevor.

If you want a skinny kid name them Trevor.

Girls too.

She’ll be the only girl at school with that name, which is cool.

Plus with a boys name she won't get as many creepy internet stalkers.

This Trevor I’m talking about was a boy though.

Oh and a fish.

That’s an important element here.

That helped him be skinny immensely.

For every fish in his species is skinny.

In their society you only get fat shamed if you get bulging eye disease.

Something that happens to around 40% of them.

Fat shaming is rife in their lives.

But not on the internet because it's hard to log on underwater without your screen getting distracting glitches.

A sex accident

Caig wanted to stop thinking about sex so much.

He went to his doctor and asked her for help. 

So she had sex with him.

He did say 'no I actually mean can I have some form or libido dampening drug?'

But only after he'd finished. 

That one was inspired by what I think I'd do if my penis was ever lost in a horrible accident :) 

A business man

A business man stares out his office window.

His facial expression says 'I wish I could go out and play'.

A boy playing in the street looks up and they make eye contact.

The boy looks into the businessman's sad eyes and thinks to himself 

'I don't ever want to grow up'.

Just then a bus hits him.

He gets his wish.

The business man thinks.

'Fuck, I bet with all this crap going on in the street I'll end up having to work late'. 

His fears come true. 

Sitting - Another beautiful poem

A man sat on a milk crate in an alley behind a restaurant 

He was just relaxing

But all those who happened upon him were able to think 

'I bet that's how he sits when he poops' 

The Lonely Block Of Granite Stone - A Poem

The lonely block of granite stone was lonely
It was just another part of the mountain
The boring middle part
Till along came mining, excavation and masonry
Now it's a kitchen bench
Turns out loneliness was better than regular lime juice in the f'n eye 

Travel - Not just about cliches!

Movies, are great right? I think everyone can agree on that. We love them, they love us, and together we love each other, but movies have been lying to you people, movies have for ages made it seem like travel isn't always fun! You bastards. 

I'm talking classic movies involving cliche international travel, movies like Black Hawk Down, Saving Private Ryan, Shindlers List, and Platoon, the list goes on and on, well I've got a message for you movies, travel isn't all about war, no no no, not just stinkin' war, travel also has things like site seeing, delicious food you can eat with your face, and racial hatred that's mostly now suppressed, oh and romance. And I want to talk about this last aspect of travel for a moment. Let's explore this with a cliche classic animal documentary style format. 

Meet Mick, he is a cliche Australian traveller. He has the wide eyed stare and unnecessary grin of someone either very open to new ideas, or just very very simple minded, and he's a slightly doughy, dim-witted man on holiday in England, a place that's NOT Australia. 

Mick (Mick waves happily while grinning like a moron) 'Hi I'm taking a huge risk and leaving home behind to see something new, they say England is a place with only 300,000 odd other Australians! That's less than Australia, so that will be interesting. Also I like seeing stuff, and doing stuff, and you know, not being stuffed to do anything, it's gonna be fun, I'm gonna do that stuff in a whole new place! 

And Meet Sondra, she's a cliche British girl, which is a place you can only go with travel. Unless your from there. She has a British accent that sounds slaggy to those from her own country but to foreigners sounds sweet and adorable. 

Sondra (Sexy, from a

distance, slaggy sounding British accent, unless you're not from there, in which case it's adorable) 'Hi, I like shagging foreigners cause in my own country the boys think I'm a right slag, but to foreigners I sound sweet and adorable, oh and I've already shagged practically every boy in Britain, got to get some fresh dick from somewhere'. 

Wow, just doesn't she just sound so sweet and adorable? And great sense of humor too.

Sondra - 'Oh the boys always fink I'm funny too, not sure why, I'm just always talking about all the fresh dick I've shagged, wait so they think that's just jokes?'

Mick likes Sondra, and he likes her jokes, he finds them raunchy. 

Mick- 'I like her jokes. So raunchy, also her accent is different to mine.'

Sondra likes Mick, she likes that's he's fresh dick.

Sondra - 'I like fresh dick, he's got one'.

They like each other. And when that happens romance can take place. And now they get to hang out. Which goes delightfully. 

Sondra - 'So right, that's like a fuckin' bridge, and that's a fuckin' castle, and oh look that mail box is red n that'

Mick - 'Wow, I've never seen these things before, this is new and exciting. And I'd never have gotten to see them without you! Or maybe a guidebook'.

With interesting information and compliments exchanged, romance can now get even more romantic.

Sondra - 'Right so have you got like a hotel room then?'

Foreign ladies love hotel rooms. In your own city girls hardly ever ask if you've got a hotel room. I have a theory that it's because when traveling you've swept them up in travel romance!

And then when you get there you don't have to muck about with candlelit dinners, and organizing for string quartets as you always do when romancing a lady at home, and they forgive you, I have a theory that it's because they know your phone doesn't properly work here, sometimes they pass it off with a joke. 

'I've got gonorreah so best just shag me in the arse'.

Ha ha. Travel. 

With coitus now moved onto post coitus, the romance of travel can turn out to have a twist. 

Sondra - 'Turns out it was all ruse, I was just setting Mick up'.

Now two men come and grab Mick and drag him into a van, and no, it's not like in the movies where they plan to torture him in exchange for cliche battle plans and the location of the cliche allies mission planning center, they merely want to torture him for money, his passport and possibly to sell him to ISIS.

'Why's there a pillow case over my head, ha ha Sondra you're so funny, and raunchy'.

The End 

So stop making travel look dangerous movies! I'm talking to you classic cliche travel movies, where the lead characters have travelled somewhere, like Thin Red Line, Patton, Star Wars, and Apocalypse Now, travel isn't just about war, it's also romantic. 

Ahhhh, romance 

Ahhh, travel

Ahhhhhhhhh, ahhhhhh

A beautiful poem about the forrest

There's a togetherness in the forrest 

A mutual understanding 

A dance of merriment 

A complimentary effort 

A give 

A take 

Yep 

Taking can be good 

In fact it is a requirement 

So suck on that givers

An Amazing Discovery

I made an amazing discovery today. It's truly remarkable, and I am left with a dilemma, a tough decision a Sophie's choice even, do I:

A. Keep this for myself and exploit it for money and fame? Or 

B. Share it with the world and bask in the joy it spreads like fairy dust released in volcanic eruption levels?

Well keen observers and happy well wishing regular readers here at David Tieck and his Fleeting Forever, will know that there really is no question which of those I will choose. While I do covert fame and the fortune that comes with it, and having even had a taste for both, a small bite that came with a residual hangover that is a rabid like lust for more, and a willingness to step on your own grandmothers neck just to peak at more of it from a slightly high set window, there is still no way I could turn down the opportunity to play a part in a earth covering volcanic eruption. Cause that sounds bad ass. 

So here goes, here is the amazing discovery I discovered that you are about to discover as shared by me: 

Step 1. Take any boring ass anecdote from your life. Anything at all. 

Step 2. Add Sri Lanka

Step 3. Boom! You're now interesting! 

Ok, so I know most of you are no longer reading. Your minds have been blown, and you've bolted away from

your reading implement, and are currently pulling some dusty old anecdotes out of your sock draw and are going to mend them up with Sri Lanka, pull them on, and race them around to your next social engagement ready to be the coolest person there. And I support this. But a few of you are skeptical. I'm fine with this too, if not for possessing an unwillingness to accept brilliant new ideas right away you may already be 'liked' by other people, and not even have any need for this little piece of magic.  And I'm here for you too - so to blow off skepticism here is proof. 

Step 1. (A boring ass old anecdote. This is a true boring as shit tale from my life) So I'd been lost in the jungle now for three months living off nothing but raw snake guts, having learned to sit still in a meditative state for days on end until the snakes had made home in my lap, before suddenly striking at their bellies with  my teeth so fast that the first mouthful was in my intestines before the snake could even blink, you know because they don't have eyelids. Sure I could also have eaten the flesh of the hundred and fifty men from the local guerrilla militia that had ambushed and attacked me, only to be defeated in a brutal battle where my bare fists out powered their machine guns, bazookas, tanks, black hawk helicopters and satellite directed heavy artillery. But I'm no cannibal. Plus I used their weapons and their flesh and bones to make a to-scale complete replica of manhattan in 1842, complete with an accurate number of inhabitants, in accurate period costume. It's cool, but it's was starting to smell a bit if I'm honest. Suddenly I was attacked by three giant tigers, I fought them off with my back to them, as it was a sunny day and I wanted to even my tan out. I did not kill them though, because cats are awesome, I instead tamed them, and made them my pets and allies. A couple of aliens were watching all this, and now declared me ruler of the universe. 

Step 2. (Take this story, yes I know.... It's a true story, but BORING as hell, but now add Sri Lanka) Oh, I should mention this all happened in Sri Lanka. 

Step 3. (Boom, you're now interesting) Boom! I'm now interesting!

So get out there everyone, trust me, it's fun as shit. Joy, friends, popularity, likability, happiness, awesomeness and party centers will be all now be yours! It's utterly flawless! 

Ps. I also recommend taking a trip to Sri Lanka, no one likes a liar. 

Being Callahan

I like to think that if my name was Callahan, a fifty-eight year old double bass player in a Jazz band, and I needed to do something for my fitness, but still wanted to feel cool, so I had chosen to go to a Jazz dancing class, although I was now doubting the wisdom of my plan, and I was currently standing in front of the Jazz dancing class building, trying to talk myself into going in, I would mutter something like this under my breath:

‘You promised you'd do something for your cardiovascular health. You promised. This is perfect. It's Jazz. It says so right in the name. Sure you've been playing Jazz for forty years now and never really seen any dancing, at least not anything that has a consistency that could be classed into a style or approach, but still, Jazz man, this must be run by some cool cats.

Ok, don't drop into clichés now, you don't have to justify your Jazz credentials, have these guys played bass in a variety of bands in several cities, over the years to probably literally dozens of people? No you have. Just be yourself, do some Jazz dancing and you can Jazz up your sax appeal. Yeah, that's pretty smooth. I am a real Jazz dude, fuck, did I just say “Jazz 'dude”, no no no no, it's Jazz “cat”, why are you doubting your Jazz credentials, why are you censoring yourself, agghh this is Jazz hard.

You're Callahan for god’s sake. Just say your name when you get in, “I'm Callahan, I'm here for Jazz” and they'll probably hand the class over to you. “Oh my god, you're Callahan? The Callahan? From Frilly and the Gators? And the Buck Hampton Trio? THE CALLAHAN? From Lester’s Revenge? Oh my god!’ they'll probably say. “Oh yes, I've seen some things, thumbed some grooves, drank some bourbon with people most people think aren’t even real, only legends” you'll be able to say. “Oh I remember a night in Mobile Alabama, after a four week bender in New Orleans, where we said we were going to dry out, before ending up in the basement of this cat Gunter's establishment, where we went on a seven hour improvisation that had more than fourteen trombone solos, TROMBONE!” That’s the kind of story these folk all probably dream of hearing, and these are the exact type of stories you ooze.

Oh who are you fucking kidding? You're here because your doctor said “lose some weight, lay off the booze and maybe you'll still be here in five years”. But it's the lifestyle man. The lifestyle. I am Jazz, and Jazz isn't safe man, Jazz is reckless, Jazz is free, Jazz doesn't turn down a shot of whiskey just because he's already had a bottle, Jazz says yes, oh maybe your washboard players might say “not for me thanks, I don't want to lose control of my senses, the washboard don't play itself man” and then they have washboard abs. But those are the washboard guys, and they aren’t me.

It’s not like I chose bass. I didn't choose bass man, bass chose me man. Those cats were playing and I was playing harmonica, and then the bass player quit cause he didn't like the vibe man, and I picked it up and didn't look back man. That’s beauty man. That's romance man. That’s what it’s all about.

And now you're fat and it's your heart that doesn't like the vibe man. Well sometimes the vibe doesn’t feel right, you don’t have the groove in your heart, and the trumpet player has been stabbed in the parking lot over his last cigarette, but the show must go on. And because of that, I shall now dance’.

Wow, if my name was Callahan and I was a fifty-eight year old double bass player with arteries as blocked up as highway behind a brutal big-rig pile up, life would be sweet, I can just imagine it – fourteen trombone solos, that’s Jazz wow.
