GHOSTS ON THE GROUND 9: MARY

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME  YOU WERE EXCITED ABOUT ANYTHING?   The giddy inducing dream preordained everything. What shirt to wear, Mario Bava. Dinner, a tuna sandwich. Bring with you, a camera, a Diet Coke, a granola bar, some high grade gummies, 36 dollars cash and 9 bottles of beer. Don't worry there's

GHOSTS ON THE GROUND 8: HOTEL

I start to really take notice that this does not look or feel very safe. The dead that lay at my feet are starting to move. Turns out they're just waking up from where their whatever form of amusement took them last evening. Some will speak to you. "Give me money" While others

GHOST’S ON THE GROUND 7: CECIL

If I live until June I will see my 65th birthday come to pass. Can you imagine, 50 years of smoking weed? Everybody always said that stuff will kill you. Well look who's dancing in the happy hunting grounds all the while I consume piggishly, drinking and smoking like an unwanted

GHOST’S ON THE GROUND: 6 HERITAGE

Two words. Spectacular.   The morning has been filled with dismay, hands shake, throat burns. Blurred vision as uneasiness fills my sweat stained eyes.

GHOSTS ON THE GROUND – 5 – HAUNTED HOUSE

If all goes well headed back home before 1:00. Famous last words. You ever drive the 110 North to downtown? The mania burns fierce and

GHOSTS ON THE GROUND/ CEMETERY-3

Tell me you don't see the very face of evil in that stonewall, please tell me you don't see it! A quick jaunt aside. I don't know how I write. You call that shite writin? I usually smoke a bowl and drink a beer or seven then lean over a keypad and see

GHOSTS ON THE GROUND: CEMETERY-2

HERE THERE BE GHOSTS   Where are we going? Oh yeah,Hollywood Forever. Fun. Is that Merle Oberon? If you can't see the ghost over Johnny's right shoulder then you and I are on a different journey. It was a cool place. Legendary for it's creepiness. Hell the band, The Misfits did a live shindig right in

GHOSTS ON THE GROUND: CEMETERY-1

 When and how boredom sets in is still a bit of a hermetical mystery, but by god the weeks before football truly dies, (think the Owl) I find usually no later than Wednesday during the bye week the lethargy really starts to soil the mind and degrade the spirit. You
