About the Book - Sick Sacraments - Authors Note

the forward Sacramento History. How was it growing up in the 1990’s on the west Coast of the USA;  melancholia, techno, grunge, Foucault.  The effects of Ronald Reagan’s neoliberalism or Reaganomics on the economy to Representative Newt Gingrich screaming, if you are not with us, you’re are against us.  The stories in Sick Sacraments provides an insight how the current political polarization in the USA has occurred.   Interpreted through two artists Micky and Denver who are trying to define their roles in a society that is splitting between the virtual and the reality. Micky and Denver are atheists, anarchists, feminists, hedonists, humanists and socialists but they do not know it. For them, the ideal is dead and history is over.

After weeding, fertilize.  Go ahead and pee on your garden if you haven’t been doing so already.  Your sunflowers will be especially thankful. If you were smart, you would have done as I told you earlier this  year and sown a row of Mary Jane next to the tomatoes. She will help  keep the bugs off the nightshade as well as keep you spiritually  connected in the upcoming omnipresent heat. As you while away the day  avoiding the blazing sun, think about the human condition and yo

02. dawned on dee / the dawning of dee / dee dawn, dee dawn, dawn, dee - Sick Sacraments

02. dawned on dee  / the dawning of dee /  dee dawn, dee dawn, dawn, dee After going through the motions of showering and straightening up the  house a little, she had brewed herself a cup of gourmet coffee, and  was now sitting at her custom-designed breakfast-nook, staring at her  comatose cat lying near the microwave and shuffling her deck of  cards. Dee had reached a phase in her life where the deck of cards  would define the rest of her day. She was ready to play solitaire. If she won, she would move on to  answering her email and surfing the web for love. If she repeatedly  lost, she would take a mood-altering substance, make lunch and remain  in a state very much like her cat for the rest of the day. Dee had been shuffling the same deck of cards for years. The worn  cards felt good. The rustle they made gliding through her fingers,  the rhythm of cutting, mixing and bridging the cards. With each  shuffle, her olfactory sense would be slightly stimulated by the  musty smell e
