Blood

As I type, Sonya is taping Pimps Up, Ho's Down for Jen.

I love America Undercover. The description, straight from HBO:

"Description: The filmmaker who introduced you to Hookers at the Point now takes you into the secret society of pimps: the men behind the girls on the street. You'll meet the "macs" and "playaz" who maintain lavish lifestyles on the earnings of working girls, and who win "The Game" with fine clothes, fancy jewelry, an eye-catching set of wheels and a stable of dedicated prostitutes."

This, kids, is what TV is all about.




I gave blood this afternoon. As usual, the fingerstick hurt far more than the needle in the arm.

I got a picture of it, too. The bare needle, hanging out of my arm. It's black and white, so it should be pretty jarring.

And aren't the questions interesting when you go to give blood?

"Have you ever fucked a pig?"

"Ever had anal sex with a Haitian man?"

"Are you sure you've never fucked a pig?

"Do you know anyone who has?"




Did you know Ice-T used to be a pimp? It's true!




After my stop at the blood bank I went to my mom's house. It was her birthday; I got her some flowers. I shopped for a real-live sure-enough present, but I couldn't find anything. She liked the flowers, though.

My Uncle Buck (yes, I have an Uncle Buck, though technically he's grand-uncle, or great-uncle - anyway, he's my grandmother's brother) is in town. Uncle Buck did time in the navy, drove a truck, and for many years ran a bar outside of Chicago. He told me the following story tonight.

Uncle Buck's Story

"One night I was tending bar, and I saw some police lights going outside the front door. I went out to see what was going on.

"'What's goin' on here?' I asked the cop, 'what's with the lights?'

"The cop told me he'd pulled somebody over, and pointed to a riderless motorcycle in front of the police car.

"I asked him where the guy who was with the motorcycle was. The cop said he'd gone in the bar to make a phone call.

"I started laughin' at him. 'Nobody's using the phone,' I said, 'but some joker went out the back door ten minutes ago!'"
