tony hauth good reads//spun

another note on the art work for wikileaks
i explained it was dedicated also to hollywood 9/11 suicide tony hauth
who died
9/11 2010.
i can imagine how he might say "i know it'll sound like a big cliche . . ."

look at all that adspace being sold on the literary rec's of dead man's space.

Genius and Heroin: The Illustrated Catalogue of Creativity, Obsession, and Reckless Abandon Through the Ages


Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers


another friend said over skype, "so you are really upset about that? you had said so but i thought it was  . . ."

don't you love it how emotion is implicitly disbelieved?????

here is a sample of what tony was reading.
i can remember his sly smile when he explained he was on a social network for booky people.

The Pursuit of Oblivion: A Global History of Narcotics




i was upset tony's rich mom tried to pressure me into taking care of tony when i realized he needed real medical help when she could have afforded REHAB.
i was no hospice, and i didnt want to find him dead.
i kicked him out, knowing full well his rich family could save him. i wasnt going to jail for his heroin, not when i had heard of such mangled prosecutions.
tony sent me a text saying
"you are a psycho bitch and my mom thinks so too"
i don't know if she really did say so.

i felt like she was trying to use me at peril to my safety.

and i was so sad
bc i knew it was heroin withdrawl talking. and i was sorry tony couldnt work around the prevalent sexism of america.
and yes he died a year later and yes i am sad about it.
he was so lovely it was painful to let him go, but i was afraid and upset he had brought serious drugs into my apartment.
he understood everything about everything.
and the sad part was the part about rent, i sensed economic doom, and wanted to split my hollywood rent, but not with a junkie, silly me.
we had such nice conversations about vegan food.
he explained emphatically that it would be non-romantic.
which after having kissed and also having slept together once, i guess it was important to make that clear.
****
addendum.
when i really really naive
i allowed screenwriter will de los santos to store his bag at my place on hollywood blvd.
he told great tales and indeed i loved his film SPUN.
but then he took my credit cards out for a ride to test them and spent up the long distance.
i consider him to still owe me 100$ for the long distance if not more for the pain and suffering of freezing accounts, canceling cards, hours of suffering regarding his theft and attempted use of my cards online as well.
when i called around i heard that some people had restraining orders against him
anyway his film project he went on about back then in 2007 was
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0301595/
mama black widow based in
iceberg slim novel

i saw him once new years 2008 walking home from work.
that was before the warrant for his arrest was executed for his theft of my accounts.
as a post-property communist it was really tough for me to press charges, but i saw his pattern of predation on young women as truly cruel.

the last time i saw him was 2009 i was hopping a bus to go to thunder from heaven concert on sunset strip
he said
you know you sent me to jail
he said i want to pay you back
whats yr number
i said whats yr number
he gave it to me.
i wrote it on a newspaper to waste time as i did not want be involved.
like i'd call him!
