First of all, since this is a post of my Twitter feed, best way to experience this thread is by scrolling to the bottom and read UP.
- Here's my Paul Koretz impersonation: "I think, perhaps we should consider possibly giving some thought to the idea at some point, down the line, in the future, maybe. (DON'T BE SO COMMITTAL, PAUL!)
- A PAUL KREKORIAN IMPRESSION; I don't see any reason why we should cut spending on this item at this time. (Say EVERY time on EVERYTHING...NO MATTER WHAT!!)
- MAYBE YOU'LL LIKE IT, TOO: Maybe a coincidence, but I like day much more when I have Zuma Music Radio streaming in background. ZumaShow.com
- MOST VALUABLE PERK OF ALL: V.I.P. tickets good! But, being treated to wave of smiles and joy of people because of your efforts, is greater.
- HAPPY (ENOUGH) ENDING: For type of low-budget local "fame" generated, although it's not mansion w millions, ZD at least gets small apt & GR!
- Obviously, I LOVED being immersed in the general public mass, each day, for past decade, MORE than elite crowds, or I wouldn't have done it.
- AND, other thing I wanna mention after all the sarcasm below: It isn't any more (or less) fun hanging with Grammy winners or general public.
- BUT, at the end of day, ZD's glad it went down this way. I took fork in the road cause city issues were MOST IMPORTANT THING GOING each day.
- ONE thing that hasn't changed (see tweets below), whether I was producing "Zuma Dogg Show" or reporting on council -- BOTH ARE COMEDY GIGS!
- what a community gathering USED to be to ZD, before activsm. http://ow.ly/2pRZW (Now it's their grandparents I hang with.)
- WHAT WAS I THINKING: "Presentations" used to mean ZD at "Gold Record Presentation" for music legend. Now, it means council kiss ass session.
- HOW YOU KNOW ZD IS CRAZY: Went from appetizers at Grammy Awards, R&R Hall of Fame Awards, etc., to whatever they have at local NC meeting.
- SIDE EFFECT OF BIPOLAR DISORDER: Was stoked once when I interviewed DEPECHE MODE. Also stoked once when I interviewed a pension commissioner.
- WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME I HAD A PROBLEM?: Traded taking pictures with Stones, Janet Jackson & Springsteen for Villar, Koretz & Knabe. (OYE!)
- HOW YOU KNOW I'M CRAZY: Traded dinner with Tina Turner for lunch with Dennis Zine. (DOH!) I didn't know how degenerate my disease was!
- HOW U KNOW I'M CRAZY: Traded life w Malibu elite/Award winners in mansions, for life with LaBong/Hahn & Nutty Activists in council chambers.
- If I'm NOT walking around 24/7 in "activist bipolar mode," what then? WHAT? Be happy for a few consecutive hours & enjoy day? Sounds shady!
- ZD always EXCELLED in science projects. I'm told my bipolar is "off the charts!" (Again, producing TOP results!)
- My brain was so messed up from smoking so much marijuana, no matter WHAT city council said they were doing, IT DIDN'T MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME?
- Was smoking so much weed I became so completely paranoid, I thought every time Richard Alarcon opened his mouth he was lying. WHAT? HE WAS?
- The kind of medication ZD was on, was making him paranoid and he thought EVERYTHING city council did was a shady pilfer scheme. WHAT? IT IS?
- WHAT? They make PILL to make your bipolar go away? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME? When you said "medication" thought you meant marijuana cookies!
- Was speaking with friend on my escalating bipolar condition that's EXPLODED recently. Says medications are available for this? Should I try?
