all i eat are pancakes and peanut butter

it’s all that i’ve seem to have the money for as of late. masive boxes of instant pancake mix, mashed potatoes, peanut butter and discount bread from King Soopers.

i’ve been enjoying my life in colorado although it seems to have me trapped- without a computer or any internet. i’ve been sick a lot, trying to write and paint and draw, but i’ve been pulled down by the ease of movies and staying inside on the snowy and sunny days alike.

a few weeks ago my friend asked me to try a new vial of acid he had gotten in, immediately home from work, i was ecstatic as i walked in the front door and i took a few drops. a few hours later i was doing well, the stuff seemed good and i was laying on the couch playing with the sunlight streaming through our front window, stretching and looking at the mountains. a minute later, i felt a pop in my right upper abdominal region. my stomach was starting to hurt, i decided i might have to go to the bathroom. as i sat on the toilet, i began to feel a pulling. i looked down to see my testicles rise, quickly, towards my stomach, they were disappearing, vanishing into myself. i was baffled. grabbing at my ever-shrinking balls, i tried to hold them down, my muscles began to tighten on the right side of my body and i noticed my penis had turned into a wrinkly one inch-version of itself. i ran out of the bathroom, hollering for my friends.

i spent the next four hours trying to convince my friends that i needed immediate hospital attention and was not imagining this. my condition seemed to be worsening and i was beginning to loose it. they went to the grocery store to find me some niacin, which they thought may flush my blood and kill my trip, it seemed to slow it down for a little, mainly it just turned my pale skin a hellish red and had it burning like the devil. finally we got to the hospital as i began to trip again. i sat in the emergency room red, itching, wide-eyed and dilated, bent over with one hand down my pants, securing my balls from shooting into myself. i was told later by my doctor i had a triple hernia, one rupturing in the lower left abdominal, protruding into my belly button, another on the opposite right side and one above that. i had also had a testicle torsion and they rose to my stomach, along with a severe muscle spasm.

this is what my past few weeks have been dedicated to. i just finished surgery a few days ago for the main hernia and everything’s back to normal and safe for my testicles and penis. now i have some time off for work and want to begin working on writing and painting, just creating more and again! so sunday + wednesday, i am back and feel terrible for the time missed. i’ve begun working on a cut and copy zine with John Atkins, a good friend from Austin, tx and we should have some things soon. besides for that i’ve done some awful writing, some i will share. i’m sorry this has been long, it feels good to be back.

oh’ and i have to say, i’ve been going over old and new sunday+wednesday content and i wanted to thank Eunice San Miguel and Graham Walzer for some really amazing work on here. the sketches you boys have been throwing down are beautiful and always catch me as i wander the page, they have been really inspiring to me to try and draw more and for writing little stories for fantastic sketched characters.

10:00 p.m. no date

never assume bad
things about a good
women

vice verse.

to do the line
I’ve been
thinking
about all day-
I’ve been thinking
about you
and I’ve got to move
the note
you left on
my
bed
this morning,
after i had woken and
left for
work.
you signed it love
and left
a fat
heart
on it.

4:28 p.m.

old man wasting
time
you spent years
carving
diamonds
for fools;

tucked away
in your hole
of:

this place is your

hell

and deeper
you
dig yourself
everyday.

you
dream Eater.

4:33 a.m. 11.11.2009

Where the elephants
lay
you told me once
that sail boats
never sink
but last night
in my dreams
I drowned.

and you kept yelling
about
how this baby
wouldn’t
go down.

9:19 11.14.2009

And instead of
a note on
my bed;
signed with
fat hearts
all I
found
was
an orange shirt
we used
this
morning
to clean
my
cum
off your belly
and
my stomach
and
the sheets -

where it stuck
dried.

but i knew the
fat
hearts
were there.

11.22.2009 12:36 p.m.

adolescents
puberty
makeshift ideas
of love.

once you were
a mountain.

now you swallow water
at the
ocean’s floor.

    At first, I thought this was coming from Chirs MOORE, and I got really confused. When did he go to Colorado? He has been holed up somewhere?

    and then I realized. Where has Mr. Morrison been?

    We have missed you. Your writing and poems are always good, but not easy (emotionally) to digest. When I read your acid account, I kept expecting this to be a horrible dream. But it never ended, there was no punchline. How the did that all happen? What the fuck? How is your health now? I am sorry to hear this happening to your. But keep holding on. Stay up man.

    Chris-

    I absolutely love your writing. Especially:

    “you told me once
    that sail boats
    never sink
    but last night
    in my dreams
    I drowned.

    and you kept yelling
    about
    how this baby
    wouldn’t
    go down.”

    I got chills. Keep it up. Us English nerds gotta spread our passion somehow :)

    Geeze, the acid story scares the crap out of me. I was always scared something like that would happen whenever I would trip but fingers crossed, it hasn’t so far. how DID that happen anyway? would you have gotten a hernia at some point even if you didnt take the acid? god made me cringe. always a big fan of your writing. its raw and thats the way i love it. keep it up!

    thank you for your concern and responses, my stomach is slowly healing now and it looks like everything will be ok but i won’t be able to know for a few weeks. the doctors said they weren’t sure why it happened all at once, i privately talked to my doctor after-wards and she said the acid could have nothing to do with it. i’m weary to trip again, but feel as though i might be needing something to take me away from where i am at as of now.
    but thank you for the kind words. they always seem to motivate me on nights that seem so down and where i am at odds and out.
