Tulelake, CA— Leaving in style
For the longest time several groups of people have tried to stop me to no avail. From the groupies who think “I am a pain in the butt”, to the “prayer circle phony Christians”, the “want to be gangsters”, to the “I don’t know what side of the fence I am on” group, to the “my shit don’t stink” group and I could go on to the “I don’t know what day it is” group and last but not least the “where is my next fix” group. All going nowhere and “accomplishing absolutely nothing”, all while thinking they are, when reality says otherwise.
While they were busy trying to keep me off balance and distracted they have accomplished one thing in their life they have made it possible for me to be known world wide through my stories and articles. So thank you very much as I no longer have to waste paper and ink for people to read what I write in this little town. They can find me on the Internet, which was my plan all along; they just did not know it.
Which means I can go any where in the world and still write my stories and articles. Something they will never be able to do. They will continue in their little worlds thinking they are somebody when in reality they are “nobody”. Groups of people who live in a small little town going absolutely nowhere all while thinking they are something they are not.
Groups of people who think individually that they are running a dying town with no hope of ever recovering it to what it once was. Why, very simple they want to keep it as it is living in the past. The past is gone and it is the future that this little town keeps missing the boat on. They are too busy trying to hang on to what little power they believe they have left. When in reality they are digging their own grave.
You see as a friend of mine has shared with me on more than one occasion, “It is not the message but the messenger” and I love this one. “Well, what do you expect it is Tulelake” like Tulelake is special. You know what they are right? Tulelake is special the only small town in California that has not woken up from the past drug fest some of them are still on.
Because until Tulelake changes its ways it is going to continue to be a dying town going absolutely nowhere any time soon. Who wants to invest in a town that does not half the time know its ass from a hole in the ground? That goes for the city council that has yet to come up to speed or law enforcement if that is what you want to call it and be proud of it. Groups of people running around like a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off and seeing who can yell the loudest to get their way.
They are stuck here. I am not. I am free as bird to reach for other horizons and aspirations. They are on the other hand are stuck with what they have. As they say when you make your bed, you sleep in it and that they have.
