the people in my secret life ask

why i dont talk about my secret life and i said ah man its probably cuz i dont talk about any of my lives.

so heres my life. wake up, shower, make the coffee, drive to work, sit down, read the email, answer the urgent ones, forget about some of the not so urgent ones, find out some of those were more urgent than normal, go to the kitchen to see if any hot girls are there, get an orange juice outta the machine, go back to the desk, look at the clock, hate life.

then i have the secret life. fly to work. get briefed on the weather conditions. find out what They did last night. decide whose life to ruin. see if theres anything chocolate in the machine. wait for chopper one to get ready. exchange dirty jokes with maintenance. save the world. fly home. pray for forgiveness.

and then i have the current busblog life. wake up whenever. blog like crazy. smoke like crazy. drink like crazy. go whereever. kiss girls. go to sleep whenever. watch the hits of LAist soar. watch the hits of the busblog sink.

pretty little girl was over here the other night playing with the gray in my chesthair. in these days of dateline i probably shouldnt call her a pretty little girl so lets call her a dirty young woman dressed like a teenage runaway.

she asked whos your girl on the wall?

my bedroom wall has many pictures, so i asked, which one are you talking about? and played with her imaginary chest hair.

she said, when i was in high school and i had a boyfriend he would put my picture on his wall. so wheres your girl on your wall?

and i said baby i could make a joke about how i do have the means to have you velcroed on that wall in a matter of minutes but im tired out, cuz im old, and you are not. so i will answer your question.

when youre hiking through the hills on acid over a long weekend

and youre drinking water right out of a bubbling brook

and youre eating fish that you scared into the shallow part and then grabbed with your bare hands

cooked by stewardesses who wouldnt agree to topless hiking because they said theyd get sunburn on their nipples

so hiked bottomless with you.

on the third day you dont wake up with the sunrise and say, this trip would have been so much better if we all had ice cream right now.

what you do is

roll over and think about how smart you were to bring extra brownies.

a gay guy relates the dodgers to his exboyfriend + this was on digg on saturday + single jew girl

tonight our mayor is going to march in a protest against his own cops

the other day a satellite radio network suspended two alleged shock jocks for being too crazy on uncensored radio.

gasoline is approaching $4 a gallon while theres a president in office whose family made their fortune in oil and yet their arent any torches outside the gates

and yet my life is stranger than all of that.

218pm

lunch with a girl named Rim.

had a sidekick that kept bleeping. ba-leep. ba-leep.

i was all baby im going to put my hand on your knee

and each time that fucking thing goes off my hand is going to go up your leg.

ba-leep.

she said if i turn it off it will look like i am offline.

ba-leep ba-leep.

huge fake tits, makeup on flawless twentynothing skin, and perfume that smelled

ba-leep.

i was all what happens if it looks like youre offline

she said they will think someone is killing me.

ba-leep.

long legs.

i said why dont you just put up an away message

ba-leep.

she said i have it up, those are messages people are leaving me

ba-leep.

i said in about two minutes youre gonna have to change that message, whatever it is.

you have to be careful making out with strange girls

because overnight they think they can question everything about you and put you in a box.

tony pierce iii is not someone who can easily be put in a box.

at least not any normal type of fucking box.

because of this beard and mustache i have attained a very odd habit of seeing how much of it i can lick. as if i was a cat.

because im no gene simmons i cant really lick that much, but my tounge doesnt know that. its been stuck inside my mouth for 100 years. suddenly its got all this weirdly textured hair thats stiff by the corners of the mouth and soft under the nose.

this morning i woke up and i thought i had a sore throat but no i had pulled a muscle in my tongue! i know this because this afternoon chickie came over and wanted to make out and i was all lets just hold hands and watch movies.

she was like do you have a cold sore or something and i was all nope.

then because im mr honesty i told her the problem but she didnt believe me.

now if theres one thing that homey dont play its the i dont trust tony game.

everyone loses that game because out comes the 9 iron then the softball bat then the bible.

things are broken, feelings are hurt, things are said that someone regrets but not me because bitch its only been one day who the fuck could i have gotten ass from in one fucking day? im a blogger not an heiress.

she was all how can you expect me to trust a guy i dont even know. and was all not my problem, until i fuck you over you better start trusting me or you will never see the glory that is this this totally filthy living room again.

and she left.

a year ago today the xbi sent their final offer

from minnesoda to LAX disguised as a six foot tall 21 yr old with a suitcase full of summer dresses and bikini bottoms.

it just so happened that i was supposed to be in santa barbara that night to pick up some tye dyes so we drove up the coast and i got her drunk in the woods and i looked her in the eyes and said

you are getting very sleepy.

and she said but im already very sleepy.

and i said im going to play some strange music for you. its of the rock band tsar.

and she said but i already know all of the works of this band, for i am a huge fan of your blog.

and i said thats a banana in my pants, dont mind that.

she seemed to really enjoy santa barbara and we drove back down to hollywood and i showed her the hot tub and she slipped into some boy shorts which got their name apparently because when you first see them you go

boy

i was sick that weekend from an illness that i had gotten making out with the texas roller girls months and months before that. plus, little did i know, but i was super stressed out at work and i was vomiting every day and sometimes there was blood in the vomit.

the xbi knew.

and they wanted me back.

and even the neighbors knew that something dramatic was going to happen because you dont really puke blood for months and just continue that sort of behavior.

so the xbi sent the prettiest smartest longest legged college girl that they knew who enjoyed a stiff drink and strangely enough the busblog

and the next day we went into the desert

for a wedding, which i djed, surrounded with friends.

and the next day i drove her back to the airport

and thanked God about 80000 times in a row on the way home.

for some reason zancau chicken was packed

last night and i couldnt figure out why until i got home and saw a young lady with a grocery bag with a bagguette sticking out of it knocking on my door. apparently i forgot my sopranos date. and this girl was very mad.

unfortunately for her i was given a gift of a shoebox lined with some of the stickiest sweetest humbolt stuff that makes you really mellow as in falling asleep mellow.

so when she wanted to clomp on my hard wood floors to accentuate how upset she was all i could see were firm calves and a skirt moving and colors.

what baby i asked.

AND DONT CALL ME BABY.

did she have any idea who she was going to be spending at least one hour of her life with?

i apologized and told her that id gladly mail a tape to her in the morning if she wanted to see it later and she said no no and i said then youre going to have to chill it down like 5 notches. and then see if it will go down two more because im a really old man and i used to tolerate pouty girls in my mispent youth but that shits not as cute nowadays

and i loaded the bong for her and she inhaled and held it and held it and coughed like crazy while exhaling and i swear to you people, before there was one less soprano our girl was passed the fuck out.

now heres the difference between black guys and white guys. a white guy will just keep his hand on a girl’s thigh when he realizes that shes passed out. but a black guy will check himself by removing his hand, scootching over a tad on the couch, and blowing a dog whistle just incase the ho was bugged.

its 434am and your girl is still on my couch, cia or fbi or whoever you are. i knew she was too cute to be for real, and i knew there was a reason she was sooooo upset when i was late. because she didnt want to be seen in my neighborhood. since shes 5-0 trying to pretend to be undercover.

did i like tonights sopranos. yes. it was an unusual way to kill off a major character, and somewhat forced, if you ask me. but i always like it when tony has sex with hookers and last nights was an interesting one.

but, as danielle says, malfi and tonys wife always steal the show and they did again last night.

afterwards i watched entourage as the fuzz snored on my couch.

i smoked bowls as i watched the de la hoya fight and i gotta say, i think oscar got robbed.

and then i read the bible cuz it was sunday.

and now im writing you because im gonna sleep till noon.

i also dont go into grocery stores with anything in my hands or pockets cuz i dont want people to think i stole anything.

happy mothers day!

i put together a box of cds for my mom this year. normally i get her one or two cds but after all these years ive only just realized that im the only one whose going to get her good music. so a box was necessary.

im sure she would have preferred flowers, but shes got plenty of flowers.

happy mothers day mom and all the other moms out there.

20 mothers day videos

today is my first girlfriend’s birthday

happy 22nd birthday mary. im glad we’re still friends.

im also glad that it was with her that i first fell in love.

when youre a teen in love there really nothing else in the world. maybe one day i will transcribe a tiny piece of one of my diaries from back then. talk about obsession. one day in high school i went through and counted each time i had mentioned her in my diary and put the score between her and this other girl on each page.

im glad i was in love with her because now in retrospect i can see how young people can have babies way too early or get married way too early because when youre young and in love youre so insane. you probably shouldnt be allowed to vote or drive.

as you get older you will still experience moments of bliss, but nothing that will make you do the ridiculously silly things you would do while young and in love.

which is another reason i dont think oj did it.

fortunately or unfortunately senior year of high school mary moved from chicago to california and i wrote her almost every day, and if i can credit anyone for helping inspire me being a pro writer its mary who would write me beautiful long letters and i would try to write back ones just as good.

something mary reminded me to do the other day was to pimp out general pitt’s wonderful participation in a marathon to raise money for kids in africa so that they will have sporting equipment.

the charity is called Right to Play, and its something i would never had thought about but its true, kids should have the right to be kids and play no matter where they live.

you can donate as much or as little as you want, but if youre gonna do it do it this weekend because on Sunday mr. pitt is going to try to run 42.3 km for these kids. thats 26.283948863636382 miles to we americans. which is about 26.283948863636381 more miles than im running on sunday, so i gave till it hurt and i recommend that you do the same.

a few days later a girl with no panties came into my house and the day after that laist got on the front page of digg. so yes the lord will reward you as well. just watch.

tonight i will celebrate marys birthday with another taurus, karisa, as we do all the things i couldnt do back when i was 15. namely heading over to the saddle ranch and betting tourists they couldnt drink shots ride the bull and play soduko better than us.

time has always flown for me

thats why i stay up all night. its 5:30am. on nights i give in to the ladies i find myself trying to play catchup at work all day. wtf is that. i work 17 hours a day 7 days a week and i always feel behind. i hate that.

im thinking about going to vancouver in late july for a week vacation. anyone interested?

it was 90 degrees yesterday. a seal from the north pole was found in florida. they caught him. he was 250 pounds and tired of swimming and he had a beard. so many similarities to your author. normally i have to force myself to go to sleep at this hour but today im beat.,

mostly cuz of the heat and what happened on the sheets. im so old. how do they put up with this. she puts lotion on me afterwards. for some reason it wears me out but charges her up. what sort of nonsense is that?

this girl is amazing looking. the whole time i wonder when i will wake up but i dont dream so i wont be waking up. i put my hand on her belly as we sleep and she moves it to her breast. im all whats wrong with where it was and she says bleh then jumps out of bed and gets her toenail polish and horrible cds.

when im in a girls house i can fall asleep instantly. when the phones ring theyre not for me, when the doors knock its not for me, when the cops bust through its not because of my stash. but for some reason they are the ones who wanna play pajama party and catch the sun rising.

she paints her nails and, bored, rubs lotion on my back while she waits for her shit to dry. lotion everywhere. lil tone is all wake up old man and im all fuck you and hes like no lets fuck her. again.

but does a girl really want lotion on a schween to enter her? so many thoughts so many hours of sleep wasted. so soon will the sun be up and the doors will open and close and whispers and singing and showers and cars and when i say i dont want to come over this is why baby its too much.

the nail polish smell the flushing the phones the texting songs the neighbor boys sniffing around a house usually bursting with hotties.

its all too much excitement and energy for this little piggy.

im the only man in america who doesnt want to be in this bedroom.

which might be why im the only man in america in it.

and as soon as she starts snoring i will move my hand back

an embarrasment of bitches

before i tell you about my odd little way of thinking up book titles, let me tell you something that nobody knows.

there are fifteen posts on laist before you have to hit next page. so when my boss first hired me and we agreed on a goal of twelve a day i noticed that there were fifteen per page so i secretly upped it to fifteen.

and yes im insane.

its also weird because i knew that id be writing most of those and i have this thing about group blogs, i dont like to see one person overwhelm the group thing.

most people dont realize, but most of the most popular blogs in the blogosphere are group blogs.

and the most popular of them all on the busblog rating scale is boingboing who i can now admit i dont read as much as i should because i am incredibly jealous slash impressed by them that they make me wanna quit.

now ive had some people come up to me when i was writing poems in college tell me things like that and i never could relate until i first came across bb. it was so clean and articulate but totally straight forward. not at all trying to writebetterthanyou or be cool, they just were. and it all seemed so organic like all of a sudden people would just send them cool things and theyd look it over and find the perfect picture and just do it exactly the way it should be done.

if AP had a blog about whats in the web.

they always kept it a blog no matter how big it got – no flash splash pages or crap – and it was always pretty equal as far as what the very few contributers delivered. and you could tell that an artist was behind it because the ads seemed like part of the design.

so of course i hardly ever read em.

murphys law of course was when i was asked to be on my first panel, and i sat right next to mark f and two seats down from xeni the night ev told everyone that google had bought blogger, which if you ask me is when the blogosphere was truly legitimized.

anyways i didnt want people to think that laist was the tony pierce show because believe it or not the whole world isnt as into your pal as you think. plus it wasnt like they were discovering me naturally, they were being sent someone from mitch & murray who enjoyed drinking coffee.

long story short friday we had 17 posts by 15 different contributers.

now thats a group.

i get my titles the old fashioned way

i drink a little smoke a little and when midnight rolls around i get on the scale

then i write down my weight and write down the first title that comes to my head

this week i was so busy that i wasnt able to talk about lost or the sopranos or about how i talked to chris in africa who told me that a goat took a dump on her bag while they were IN a cab.

of all the things i teased her that would probably happen to her, that was not on my neverending list of jungle-related comedy. the lord always has the last laugh.
