Merry Christmas

[tommy]

You're a great Christian. The best.

Aww, what a sweet thing to say

[Bammer]

I hosted my fam for dinner and made the obligatory facetime call to my weird sister in Idaho. Winning.

[Rangi Guy]

Just finished taking down all the Christmas lights.

[Bammer]

You’re crazy

[Rangi Guy]

You’re crazy

Christmas had its day!

[Bammer]

I’m trying to convince Mrs. Bam to let me have a football game party on January 1st and I’m definitely not taking down the decorations before then.

I did not get one thing that I asked for. I got different variations on a couple things but nothing exact.

There is a wolf in me . . . fangs pointed for tearing gashes . . . a red tongue for raw meat . . . and the hot lapping of blood—I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fox in me . . . a silver-gray fox . . . I sniff and guess . . . I pick things out of the wind and air . . . I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers . . . I circle and loop and double-cross.

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me . . . I know I came from salt-blue water-gates . . . I scurried with shoals of herring . . . I blew waterspouts with porpoises . . . before land was . . . before the water went down . . . before Noah . . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me . . . clambering-clawed . . . dog-faced . . . yawping a galoot's hunger . . . hairy under the armpits . . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men . . . here are the blonde and blue-eyed women . . . here they hide curled asleep waiting . . . ready to snarl and kill . . . ready to sing and give milk . . . waiting—I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

There were two things I didn’t get that I asked for but that’s because they haven’t been released yet. One was released yesterday and the other will be next Wednesday.

There’s a lot of people trying to pull off alpha moves in Wease’s family lately, but this is the real alpha move, asking for things that are impossible.

Lol the weather guy on the local news this morning was talking about some sun breaks and said it would be a good day to take down your holiday decorations. The way he said it with such muted vitriol and the look in his eyes, you just know he was talking directly to one of his neighbors directly through the TV screen.

My man. There are still some Neanderthals in my neighborhood that haven’t taken them down yet.
