Excerpt From Half Moon Bay<\/strong><\/p>\n

(Ok, you\u2019re the Empress or whatever and you feel you’re in charge of that and all the people that work under you and that are living in their world are really chippin’ away, chippin’ away, how are are you supposed to not give up?)<\/p>\n

I’m gonna stay up there and radiate so nice that they will either be unable to stand it or they’ll change. There’s no time to give up ’cause it’s your world you’re living in, not theirs.\u00a0 Yes, I agree society is out there trying to make you be a downer at all times.\u00a0 I know that \u2013 how well I know.\u00a0 I’ve been around this world longer than you have.\u00a0 They’ve been at it all the time I’ve been here; and I’m sure they was at it before I got here and see they’re gonna keep it up.\u00a0 But I’m not gonna let them have charge of my world \u2013 I don’t care how insistent they are, ok?<\/p>\n

There’s a story I heard over in New Mexico I heard one time that a bunch of women met every week to do their little needle work or quilting bee or whatever \u2013 the homemaker’s club. (The husbands called it the homewrecker’s club.)\u00a0 And there was one little lady named Mrs. Brown that every time all these other ladies got to gossipin’ about somebody and really tearin’ ’em up, you know as you said, \u201cchippin’ away with sledge hammers and big chisels and jack hammers,\u201d she always perked up and said something nice about the guy like, \u201cHe’s a wonderful provider for his family!\u201d or \u201cHe never uses foul language in the presence of ladies,\u201d and on and on and on.\u00a0 She’d always find somethin\u2019.<\/p>\n

One day they were really having a great time tearin’ some guy up and she piped up and said that he was a wonderful provider for his family. He kept all the kid\u2019s cars, he sent them all to college, they were all dressed nice.\u00a0 And one of the ladies said, “Mrs. Brown, if we were talking about the devil, you’d have somethin’ nice to say about him.”\u00a0 She said, “Well, you’ll have to admit he’s always on the job.”<\/p>\n

(Laughter)<\/p>\n

Only if you’re on the job, your kids ______(unclear). We know that but we don’t have to let it dig in ’cause I can keep on buildin’ “up” just as much as they’re chippin’ down, ok?\u00a0 And it’s my world I’m concerned with, not the other guys\u2019, ok?\u00a0 Does that help answer your question all right?\u00a0 When to give up?\u00a0 Never!\u00a0 Ok I said you may forget once in a while, but don’t forget too long, honey.<\/p>\n

(It seems like if you’re coming from an attitude that’s really up all the time, when you\u2019re in the midst of all these people that are downers you will look at them like they’re uppers because…..)<\/p>\n

Oh well I see them as\u2026 I said that’s common sense \u2013 you see the fun they’re having, ok? I don’t see them as being \u201cup.\u201d \u00a0I see pretty well what’s there, but I think how funny it is that they can have joy and peace and everything and they choose to live in this, is that right?\u00a0 It’s like this guy here.\u00a0 I’ve known him for years \u2013 beautiful, handsome man and he has a wonderful education.\u00a0 He’s had gobs of opportunities.\u00a0 But I don’t think how pathetic he is; I think what a joke he is, you know.\u00a0 And every once in a while, he’ll come out of it for a few minutes when you see the joke and get him up a little bit; but he’s got a private little reason for going (unclear).\u00a0 People treat you nice when you’re a bambino and you fell down and skinned your knee and tried to fix you up and petted him; so he’s still thinkin’ they might do it; but nobody’s done it recently, have they?\u00a0 Been quite a long time.\u00a0 You know we all like to be pathetic because when we were a little kid, mama picked us up and petted us when we got hurt or we weren’t feelin’ too good.\u00a0 But you know, nobody pays much attention to us gettin’ our knees scratched or not feeling too good these days.\u00a0\u00a0 Yes?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
