Statira Frances K.Z.

Statira a star in my life. You were my first true romance. You were the first woman that I honestly loved with all my heart. And for those brief few months, I know you loved me genuinely too. I felt you. We both delighted in each other's presence. I was always so happy to see you; to be with you.
I remember vividly when you and I were at your parents place in Bethlehem PA, getting down on my hands and knees and kissing your bare foot.
"I adore you Statira"
Remember FA loves Be Statira? From the film DAY OF THE DOLPHIN. I was FA you were BE.
I remember going to see Star Wars in that magical summer of 1977, and in the parking lot of the Mall, putting my chin on the top of your head.
"You fit just right under my chin"
Then came college in September, you came to Drew to see me off, and you cried real tears and I cried too. Because we both knew we would miss each other. Maybe in hindsight, we knew it was the end of our romance too. Would you believe that I am crying now as I write this about that? I know, yes I am crazy.
It all went bad after you told me we were done. I knew it before you even told me on the phone though. I can honestly say it was one of my true psychic experiences. I just felt you STOP loving me all of a sudden even though we were miles apart.
After that it was a string of bad decisions on my part. Leave college, work as a bellboy, join the Navy, desert, make porn films, marry the wrong women...but I did make beautiful children with them. I do not regret that.
I do regret you and me not making children. You and me not having a life together; or at least some good years of marriage before my insanity or infidelity would have broken us apart. I can only imagine how beautiful any child or children that you and I would have made would look.
I would love to see you today. Now you are older but Im sure just as lovely. I know you're married and settled etc. It's just a wish of mine. I always wondered what you look like these days.
So why write this at all? I needed to put it out there. Out of my head and into the ether. My hope is that you will come across it in a search and not feel too uncomfortable. That you might even smile a bit. Like the graffitti I wrote on the wall of the 9th St. PATH station, that I knew you would pass every day on the way to school at NYU.

51 years of Thanks Giving

Yeah I'm happy for the life I have.
And if I were to lose it, oh well.
I don't want to die but shit happens.
I have a growth, could be benign, could be malignant, I guess I have to go find out.
I don't have medical coverage. But preserving my life is worth the investment in a doctor's visit I suppose.
Anyhoo, I have lived a fairly productive life. I have not greatly enhanced society in a publicly measurable way per se. I have fathered five children, two daughters and three sons. Unfortunately the first three want nothing to do with me.
My youngest sons love me though...
I have entertained people with laughter as a stand up comic, with youtube videos and my live shows on assorted channels online stickam, blogstar and blogtv to name a few.
I am not a religious man by any means. I do not totally discount an afterlife, but I'm pretty sure when we die, it's just oblivion. Nothingness. And without consciousness I wont even notice obviously, but I do not welcome that.
I dont think "oh yeah life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone" like John Mellencamp sang. I am thrilled by my life every day. Even when I'm tired.
I do not prefer the alternative.
I embrace my life. I have indeed been blessed with so many good things. People who love me. Great meals, lots of laughs, adventures, intellect,cultures to be fascinated by. Movies, books, songs. Women.
I will live on in assorted media.
Check me out if you're interested.
I am a good person by nature. I, for the most part, was not malicious.
Just an oddball. Some called me crazy or weird. I dont think that's a bad thing.
After all we are only a compilation of DNA of whomever came before us...

COME JOIN MY INTERACTIVE VIEWING REVOLUTION!

Traditionally people are used to PASSIVE entertainment. You sit in front of a screen and have some prerecorded story unfold. Or you see some host interview some celeb about some upcoming movie, or some politician about why they are not delivering or some band plays their music and you sit and rock back and forth...
THE GREG LIONS SHOW is ACTIVE viewing. I get all up in my audience's face. I talk DIRECTLY to you. And you in turn talk back to me.
To quote a popular BILLION DOLLAR GROSSING film's catch phrase,
"I SEE YOU"
There's the difference! The WONDERFUL difference! For a more ACTIVE AUDIENCE. We are the users of the Internet. We are the varied souls who are NOT CONTENT to sit and be talked AT. No, no, WE PREFER TO BE TALKED WITH! HURRAH!
THE GREG LIONS show is me. And what you see is what you get. The real me. I'm not some fake show biz personality spouting pleasantries to kiss the ass of some chosen demographic. NOPE. I'm a 50 year old guy who has walked up to the buffet table of life and taken food from as many trays as I wanted. Life is my smorgasbord babies!
I guarantee that if you come check out my show. You will have a good time, feel a good vibe, possibly learn something new, and DEFINITELY LAUGH!
THE GREG LIONS SHOW MON, WED & FRI 11PM EST. 2 HOURS. LOVE IT.
