Ze Paper,

she is done.

A ten page autobiography. To fit into ten pages, I had to leave out what I usually refer to as the “Prison Years.”

I also had to provide historical context on how my life intersected with the cultural events going on around me.

I was able to do this without mentioning either the Grateful Dead or Disco even once. I think I should get the Nobel Prize, or at least a bong.

ETA: Guys, you do realize that there were no actual “Prison Years,” right?

    I saw this post last night, pre-edit, and thought about leaving a silly comment like, “I’m sending a bong in the shape of the Nobel Prize straight to your door!” But I realized I don’t actually know what the Nobel Prize looks like, or if it’s just a certificate or something, so I passed on commenting.

    This morning, however, I can’t not comment, because your edit just makes me laugh out loud!!! I was pretty sure there were no prison years, but it’s nice to have confirmation of that assumption – hah!

    Just like “the final cut”… saw it last night. what if makes a man, but his deeds bad and good, his wild youth, and his misgivings for all he did and said…. but edited out…. makes every man but a Ward and every woman a June Cleaver.

    But in seriousnessm, I bet you look good on paper.

    Alrighty, so where can one procure a copy of this cult classic in-the-making? Sounds like all the best stuff was left out, though. Pity. ~Angela
