    The New Girl

    Oh, Xanga...I had almost forgotten you existed. It has been so long since I have seen you. Every now and then I get a reminder in inbox that you are still out there but I usually forget to visit you. You and your insular community of infighting and silly (often racist) questions. I know we've never been exclusive and I have always had other (more popular) blogs, but lately I've been spending most of my time with a newer girl. Her name is Tumblr, and she's nice you would like her, she's down for whatever. Perhaps we'll have a threesome sometime. Ta!

    Me & the King

    Tomorrow I will meet King Mob. I am somewhere between a state of nervous excitement and self-fufilling destiny. It's hard to put into words how much this man means to me. He is the reason I have a felony and the reason I am in California right now. In many ways he was a catalyst that brought me to this point where I am.

    Uncle Creepster to the Rescue!


    So it's nearly 3 A.M. and I can't sleep, I can never sleep. I have to be totally tanked to pass out which isn't really like sleeping, I know! I'm getting older but I don't think I'm getting any wiser, just better about being stupid. For the last several day's I've been wandering around Los Angeles like some creepy uncle, for no reason other than it's better than sitting in this box sweating my ass off. The weather is hot and it's burning a hole in my soul. Iwant to go swimming, I want to get naked with some chick and pretend I'm seventeen again. Not that my girlfriend would mind, God only knows what she's up to in SF. Fucking 4th of July and while I'm sitting under a tree like some forever alone neckbeard, she's been out living it up can't even get her on the horn. Not that, that means she's up to somethin, but my fucking paranoia takes over in times like these. I may be a high functioning alcoholic but, I am an alcoholic for a reason! I got issues by the tons, I keep them in safe keeping in random blog post and smokey haze of drug and alcohol stupor, but I'm a little lite on the drug part of that equation. So I'm steeped in the boozy end of things which creates a sad flux on my mood. Gotta balance the whiskey with weed, and I can't afford any of my own at the moment. I know I should be okay with going around by myself-this after all is supposed to be the fucking "Kane Off Kung-Fu" world tour, but I don't think I'm cut out for the David Banner lifestyle. I need human interaction, all this walking around just makes me feel like a creep. I mean if I feel like a creepster, then I'm sure I come off as a one to others. All these fucking families, L.A. is more family oriented than SF, and I don't care for it. Last 4th I was tripping, high, and drunk in the park, I was so fucked up that by the time the fireworks started I was done. My gal Friday was passed out and we had to head home where I forgot to even watch them out the window. This year well, I sat under a tree surrounded by families, and kids, and packs of teens annoying the ever loving shit out of me. I think I may be a quite tapestry of self-loathing! I need a pick me up or a joint or something!

    The Hero and the Madman!

    Woke upthe next morning, and the sign on the bathroom mirror written in blood redlipstick said-“YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG”

     


    So I know you hate it when I express any selfdoubt. I’m supposed to be the strong one, but I’m not Scott Summers! So muchhas happened in the last month, but I’m still just a little baby, I don’t knowif I am good enough. I think sometimes that if it were meant to be it wouldhave already happened, that if I was to become this great man that I would havealready become him. I compare myself to all of these famous no talent hack thatgot there before I did and I know when I do it I do a disservice to myself. I knowthat I simply don’t work hard enough, and you know it too. I could do more, butI don’t I choke like Lebron and I fail miserably it’s my Achilles heel. I amgiven opportunity after opportunity and I just squander it! What did I dotoday? Nothing! I watched bullshit online and ignored my destiny as I alwaysdo, I’m sorry I let you down, but it’s kinda what I do. I want to do more butsomething inside me holds me back. I just don’t know if I’m good enough, whenyou peel back the shell of bravado this is who I am a frail little man. That’swhy I identify with the Hulk so much. Inside he’s just meek little BruceBanner! I can’t help it, or I won’t in your eyes, I know, I know. I wrote a newstory today; it’s all about this guy who is a lot like me and what he becomesafter the Big One hits Cali. It’s an existential Mad Max. Not even sure whatmedium it’s set for; comics, movies, TV? Trying to piece that together, but Iguess I should finish it first. Listening to Thin Lizzy all day and drinkingthis cheap as balls rot gut whiskey isn’t helping. I’m on the verge of tearsand about to watch Chasing Amy which is probably a bad idea. I know its Fridaynight in L.A. I should be out meeting people and doing things, but I’mparalyzed by fear and incapable of being that guy right now. Besides only armaturescelebrate the weekend or Holidays, we true alkies stay crunk 24/7!

    Big Ideas

     
    I am gonna say this here because I know no one will read this, I know this because no matter how many clicks I get I will get no response, no one will leave a comment, and I won't gain any new followers (gods how I hate that word) the only things that will see this are bots that are looking for key words to advertise to each other to. I am in the midst of a journey, a new journey to of self destruction. I am in a zone and flowing with water into a narcissistic dimension that has always existed. I'm moving yet not moving, my mind is in side way flux the talking points are mixed and yeah! The republicans are tripping over each other to denounce Obama without offering any ideas of there own! You think I have forgotten what I know. As  I spiral down the rabbit hole I still know where I am. Pragmatism is not just a mantra. Following inside the money the trail is cold and moving forward we see the reality and it is man made. MY running mate will make a three minute video. I express the the feelings of all negros and that is that we are sick of being tread on by all the Sarah Palin's of the world. She doesn't know

    She said you always speak through music

    There is a quite desperation to each of our conversations, the universe is spiraling down into some sort of broken kaleidoscope. I don't know about you but it's hot in here. She say's with a coy smile, I hear her voice but I don't watch her lips move so I'm not sure it's coming from her. I can feel my finger run through her hair, but I don't even know if it's her hair or even if it''s on her head. I can't be the only one hot in here. We lie on the bed together. It's not natural but we do it anyway. If there is a God and he is listening, please let this moment last forever. The sun is about to come up over the windowsill, and this moment will be lost to time. There isn't much past this moment that I would care to remember, t  here isn't much past this point that I would care to experience. Essentially there is just us, but who are we? Two lonely, helpless teenagers lost, adrift in time, trying to piece ourselves together by piecing our selves together. We could be two strong women or two strong men, we could be two snow people built by children awaiting our fate with each dreadful sunrise. It's not like we're fucking we're just laying here touching each other and dreading the light. Like I said there's a quite desperation to our conversations.

    It wouldn't be my life if it wasn't a Chaotic Mess!


    Seriously there's no point in belaboring the fact. I can't have a normal life, I can't just chill and watch TV or read a book, or sleep in a normal bed. That would be too much to ask, it's not in the cards, I have to be constantly struggling or if not the universe will find a way to make me struggle. As if I wouldn't appreciate it otherwise. Which is bullshit I think I get it, I think I appreciate the shit I have, why can't I just sit still for once! Fuck it! I think it's time for me to pull a "Kane-off-Kung-Fu"! Not that anybody gives a shit! Job situations fucked, home life's fucked, no connection left. All my friends are a million miles away and over ten years removed, no one even remembers  me. If I didn't love myself so much I'd jump off the goddamn Golden Gate, but my ego would never let me. So I trudge on. Perhaps one day I will get a fucking break.I know I'm just whining but nobody reads this blog anyway so why not vent here? I gotta figure out what the fuck I'm gonna do and where I'm gonna go! Maybe down to LA for a few months, maybe Seattle. I don't want to drag my ass back East a loser having blown my chance out here. I got tickets to Archers of Loaf in September so I can't go too far, I gotta see that show. Question is should I buy those Mountain Goats Tix for June? Fuck!

    In the meantime a few good albums came out in the last few weeks;

    Tyler the Creator:


    Lonely Island:

    Oh yeah, and Thor was pretty good!

    Adventures in Hyperspace

    http://monkeearmada.tumblr.com/post/4850491922#notes  

    I enter the revolving room, I repeat the number; NUMBER 5, NUMBER 5, NUMBER 5, NUMBER 5, NUMBER 5, NUMBER 5, NUMBER 5, NUMBER 5, NUMBER 5, NUMBER 5, NUMBER 5, NUMBER 5

    My head opens, my eyes are closed. Time travel is difficult but not impossible. I hear the soft murmur of lost voices. Transition to the 4th dimension is hardest. Dimension’s 5-7 are a breeze, I repeat the mantra. We are not alone, we are not we, we are us, there are infinite versions of you and I in this place that isn’t a place. There is only one real prison and that is time, but every prison can be broken out of. Every jail can be escaped from.


    January 1943;

    Moving in light, talking to myself about myself, crossroads, primer, bricks and mortar, it gets confusing, the smell of powder burnt in the temple at Kanchanaburi, the red painted faces of beautiful lady/boys. Some more smoke a whiff of the good stuff and I’m back in New York looking at a mirror the wrong way. Mountains of snow, youthful dreams, I end up in a sticky situation. Its morning in America, I wipe the sweat from my brow, repeat the number 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, scream my mother’s last name. Pranayama.

    Like an out of work wrestler, I’m stuck in this business for life. I look at my weapon in my hand. I wear it well, as Rod Stewart would say. It doesn’t feel right though. I wish I would have ended up a desk jockey, living breathing, going home to my wife and kids, this is no life for anyone, but it is my life. I check the schedule again; my bus should be here soon. I watch the fat mothers struggle with their hyper active children. A drug addled teen thinks I’m a cop; he tries to distract himself at a video game machine. If he only knew the real cop was the guy he’s been chatting it up with on the entire first leg, trading stories about the time when they were soooooo fucked up! I take my hat off for a second. Wipe the greasy sweat from the white cloth that surrounds the rim. I think about how good I would be at writing Law and Order .


    Thursday 1989

    Foaming AT THE MOUTH I APPROACH THE TABLE, THE Dj smiles and nods, he gives me a thumb up and I fall to the floor. In my mind of course, in reality I keep dancing. I make out with 4 women that night. Drums still beat in my ear. Its dawn and a kid in a track suit twice his age drops a bag of pills in my hand. Gotta-make-that-money. A time-travelers work is never done. Tested and tested again I am numb, I am blind, smell, sound, touch, are my guides. I’m four years old again sitting at the kitchen table drawing pictures of monsters. I’m waiting on the meatballs. Then there’s booze in front of me. I don’t know what day it is or what time, and I don’t care. I reach for a hat on my head, but it isn’t there.

    It’s Russia 2010 an empty country road sometime before dawn. A few simple young men are out in a stolen car having a little fun, with a girl far too young to be that drunk and a video camera. I stop them with a cheap Japanese sword I picked up in Tokyo 500 years ago. The Future is mutable; it changes on the head of a pin. The colors are vivid when you forge a new path, when you section off a piece of time and move inside of it you could end up in a million different worlds. Most people who live will never know what it’s like, it happens to everyone, but most don’t notice. Behind the curtain the truth of the universe is revealed I repeat the damn number.

    Weird little Gifs

    Sometimes when I'm bored or just walking down the street, I come up with new band names that I think would sound cool if I ever started a band. But that would take effort, I would have to either learn to play and instrument or learn to sing one-and that ain't happening! Most recently (this morning) I thought The Coming Attractions would be a good name for a band, so after I got home from the grocery store I typed it in to old Google and found out there was a band already called The Coming Attraction (singular) and they were from Canada, and absolutely god awful!

    When I'm bored I also make weird little gifs with no real purpose like these.

    Merry Juan A Dirtbags!

     


    Happy 420 you Dirtbags! While  I am already quite high it's no more than my normal. Yesterday was an even more important day and I wrote this blog over on my Wordpress account so in case you missed it or don't even know I have a Wordpress account here it is!


    Today is a very important day; One that should be marked on every calendar and recalled in songs from sea to shining sea. Today should be a celebration! And not because of some fictional Artificial Intelligence becoming self-aware in some fictional universe where robots wage war against humans. The war between robots and humans is real and has been happening since the dawn of the industrial age. On this day (April 19th) 1943 Albert Hofmann, a chemist at the Sandoz (now Novartis) laboratories in Basel, Switzerland performed a self-experiment to determine the true effects of LSD, intentionally ingesting 0.25 milligrams (250 micrograms) of the substance. Less than an hour later, Hofmann experienced sudden and intense changes in perception. He asked his laboratory assistant to escort him home and, as use of motor vehicles was prohibited because of wartime restrictions, they had to make the journey on a bicycle. On the way, Hofmann’s struggled with feelings of anxiety, alternating in his beliefs that the next-door neighbor was a malevolent witch, that he was going insane, and that the LSD had poisoned him. When the doctor arrived at his home, however, he detected no physical abnormalities, save for a pair of incredibly dilated pupils. Hofmann was reassured, and soon his terror began to give way to a sense of good fortune and enjoyment, as he later wrote...

    "... Little by little I could begin to enjoy the unprecedented colors and plays of shapes that persisted behind my closed eyes. Kaleidoscopic, fantastic images surged in on me, alternating, variegated, opening and then closing themselves in circles and spirals, exploding in colored fountains, rearranging and hybridizing themselves in constant flux ..."

    The events of the first LSD trip, now known as “Bicycle Day”, proved to Hofmann that he had made a significant discovery. A psychoactive substance with extraordinary potency, capable of causing significant shifts of consciousness in incredibly low doses, Hofmann foresaw the drug as a powerful psychiatric tool; because of its intense and introspective nature, he couldn’t imagine anyone using it recreationally.

    Cut to 20 years later you have the hippies and Timothy Leary and Ken Kesey, Secret Government experiments and Jimi Hendrix. Cut to 1995 when I took my first four doses and traveled back in time, and into the future, and spent a lifetime sitting in my friend’s car crying about my mother and my life and all the horrible things I saw. I fell in love with acid that night in North Carolina. It was the most refreshing and illuminating nervous breakdown I had ever had up until that point, I hadn’t really allowed myself to break down like that since my mother died two years before. I made a commitment to that drug then and there and it took until my fifth trip which came a few weeks later that I was able to take it without completely freaking out and ending up in tears. After my first good trip I researched the drug methodically learning everything I could about it. I took more samples and soon developed enough connections to start selling it. I did alright but it wasn’t about the money. I would leave a rave at 6 in the morning and invite 30 kids to breakfast on me there by nullifying a chunk of my profit often times placing me back at my initial investment.  Between 1995 and 2000 I would go in and out of the business each time I would sell just enough to afford my own habit which got pretty extreme by the end of the century. I would dose myself in the eye with pure liquid acid and then go work two separate jobs totaling 18 hours. I have always had slight insomnia, but during those years I rarely slept for days, keeping a constant circle of partiers around my apartment at all times. It was an intense bizarre ride that culminated in me doing a short stint in Federal prison for violating my probation. All of which were non drug related offenses. I never once was arrested or even under suspicion for the drugs that I trafficked.

    I was lucky, but LSD is also super easy to conceal and move. I miss those days; I have spent the years since trying to remember them as best I can. I wish I hadn’t poured all that Tequila on top of it. People think that doing as much acid as I have done makes me as crazy and forgetful as I am, but I was born crazy and I’d remember more if it weren’t for the booze. What I do recall, and what I will never forget are the visions and inner discoveries I made roaming through downtown late at night with my group of friends and acquaintances tripping balls. The laughter and fun and tears, it was the adventures of a lifetime.  I’m far too old for all of that now, and besides I wouldn’t even know where to find the stuff. The wealth of it dried up at the end of the nineties when Janet Reno cracked her whip and shut down the biggest producers of the pure 1960s strands. All you have now is offshoots, bastardized versions of the gold that once was. In truth each batch since the first has been more and more watered down. It was discovered on accident, its properties hidden for five years until this very day which we hold high.

    I could talk about how each trip made me feel, but it would just come off sounded like some New-Age Ligthworker Ascended Master spiel and that’s not me. I had some very profound experiences that are deeply personal and can’t really be translated into someone else’s world view. I do agree that all energy is one, energy. Mainly because of the first law of thermodynamics! I could talk about the things I've seen while hallucinating, like tiles on a floor forming the Mayan face of Death, or dragons made of smoke offering me their advice on love. Faces in the ceiling calling my name or simply watching the wood paneling melt in my apartment. But then it would just come off as crazy. I could wax poetic about my  times running naked into McDonald's, or a yard sale, or behind unsuspecting joggers, but then it would just sound like bragging. And For that I say thank you Dr. Hofmann!

    TORTURE TIME!

    Im in one of those moods;


    TORTURE TIME!


    Im gonna tie you over a sawhorse, strapping your wrist and ankles to the legs, then Im going to open up your butthole with a speculum, get it as wide and gaped as I can then begin slowly inserting flesh eating eels. There will be blood


    Im going to numb you up with local anesthetics and operate

      on your brain. There will be blood


    Im gonna cut your eye lids off and strap you in front of a television. On the screen will be a VHS tape of me sticking it to your mom in the worse way. Tied up and gagged with several large dildos fighting for space inside her holes. There will be blood


    I’m going to consume you bit by bit over a very long period of time; Starting with your toes. My medical training will keep you alive until you’re nothing but a gnawed-on torso with no hair or teeth, no ears to hear your own screams. There will be no blood.

Yu's translation, is known as the birthplace of Sun Wukong, the main character within the novel. The mountain counts many demons and monkeys in its population. Within this rather large mountain, many various areas remain hidden; one of such being the Water Curtain Cave. After the brave Sun Wukong rushed through a large waterfall and made it to this cave, every individual in the mountain acknowledged Wukong as their king. (
    3. After Wukong becomes the mountain's king, this mountain became exceedingly civilized and well trained for various future conflicts such as war. Such a trait is easily seen when Wukong left this mountain for reasons such as protecting the Tang priest Sanzang. Due to the natural and civilized ways of this mountain set by Wukong, this mountain would effectively continue to thrive even after 500 years of conflict.
    Monkey story for lesson:
    On the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit, in the Heavenly Cave of the Water Curtain, the island monkeys
    were feasting to celebrate the birthday of their king. But the Monkey King himself sat there gloomily.
    “What’s wrong, Your Majesty?” asked an old gibbon.
    “Here I am, only four hundred years old,” said the Monkey King, “and I’ve already reached the heights
    of greatness. What is left to hope and strive for? What can be higher than a king?”
    “Your Majesty,” said the gibbon carefully, “we have ever been grateful for that time four centuries ago
    when you hatched from the stone, wandered into our midst, and found for us this hidden cave behind the
    waterfall. We made you our king as the greatest honor we could bestow. Still, I must tell you that kings
    are not the highest of beings.”
    “They’re not?” said the Monkey King.
    “No, Your Majesty. Above them are gods, who dwell in Heaven and govern Earth. Then there are
    Immortals, who have gained great powers and live forever. And finally there are Buddhas and
    Bodhisattvas, who have conquered illusion and escaped rebirth.”
    “Wonderful!” cried the Monkey King. “Maybe I can become all three!” He considered a moment, then
    said, “I think I’ll start with the Immortals. I’ll search the earth till I’ve found one, then learn to become
    one myself!”
    The very next morning, the Monkey King ordered a pine raft to be built and loaded with fruit for the
    journey. Then he took leave of his cheering subjects, floated downstream to the island’s edge, and
    started across the great sea.
    On the Mountain of Heart and Mind, the Monkey King stood before a double door in the mountainside.
    Beside it was a huge stone tablet carved in ancient characters.
    DIVINE CAVE OF THE THREE STARS
    “This is the place!” said the Monkey King. “Right where the woodcutter told me. I just hope I look all
    right in these human clothes.” He glanced down at what he’d gathered on his journey—black boots, red
    robe, and yellow sash.
    Just then, one of the doors opened and a young man peered out at him. “You can’t be the one!” he
    exclaimed in horror.
    “What one?” asked the Monkey King.
    “My master, the Patriarch Subodhi, just mounted the dais to deliver the day’s discourse. But instead of
    starting, he told me to open the door, because someone had come who wished to study the Way.”
    “That’s me!” said the Monkey King.
    “You don’t say!” said the young man, laughing. “Then come along.”
    They walked down a stone corridor and into a large chamber, where thirty or forty disciples faced a dais
    made of jade. Sitting cross-legged on the platform was a man who looked as old as Heaven, yet strong
    and healthy. His flowing beard trailed away behind him.
    “Master!” cried the Monkey King, dropping to his knees and knocking his head on the floor. “Please
    accept this humble seeker as your disciple!”
    “Humble, is it?” said the Patriarch. “We’ll see about that! But tell me, what is your name?”
    “I have no name, Master, for I had no parents to give me one. I was born from a magic stone.”
    “Most unusual,” said the Patriarch thoughtfully. “Well, what if I name you ‘Monkey’?”
    “Master, what an ingenious idea! It fits me perfectly!”
    “Then ‘Monkey’ it is,” said the Patriarch. “And for now, you may stay and learn with the others—just as
    long as you keep out of trouble!”
    So Monkey became a student of the Way. Each day, he studied scriptures, discussed doctrine, and
    listened to the discourse of the Patriarch. The rest of the time, he swept the cave, helped in the vegetable
    garden and orchard, gathered firewood, and carried water from the stream. Days went by, then weeks,
    then months, then years.
    One day during the Patriarch’s discourse, Monkey grew so excited that he could not contain himself.
    With his eyes closed, he got up on all fours and began leaping and turning.
    “Stop that!” roared the Patriarch. “Monkey, why are you prancing about?”
    “Forgive me, Master!” said Monkey. “I was so happy to hear your words, I danced without knowing it!”
    “Is that so!” said the Patriarch, looking at Monkey thoughtfully. “You’ve been here seven years now, I
    believe. Tell me, what branch of the Way do you wish to learn from me?”
    “Master,” said Monkey, “you know how ignorant I am. Anything you want to teach me is fine.”
    “What if I teach you the Way of the Seventy-Two Changes? You’ll then be able to turn yourself into
    anything you want.”
    “Wonderful!” said Monkey.
    So the Patriarch whispered into Monkey’s ear.
    For three months, Monkey practiced the techniques in private. Then one day, as he walked back from his
    chores in the orchard, the Patriarch came up to him.
    “Monkey, how are you doing with those tidbits I taught you?”
    “Just fine, Master,” said Monkey. “I can now accomplish all of the Seventy-Two Changes. But tell me,
    Master, will this make me immortal?”
    “Not likely!” said the Patriarch.
    “Then I beg you to teach me more.”
    “All right,” said the Patriarch. “What about Cloud Soaring? You’ll then be able to travel quickly
    wherever you want.”
    “Marvelous!” said Monkey.
    The Patriarch explained, “When Immortals or Buddhas or gods want to travel great distances, they ride
    on magic clouds. They rise to the cloud by stamping one foot, and stamp it again to move the cloud
    forward. But you’re built differently. So instead, let’s try the Cloud Somersault.”
    Then the Patriarch taught Monkey how to somersault high into the air, land on a magic cloud, and propel
    it across the sky with more somersaults.
    Another three months passed while Monkey practiced. Soon he could travel for hundreds of miles with
    each somersault. Then one day the Patriarch paused in his discourse and addressed Monkey again from
    the dais.
    “Monkey, how are you doing with that little trick I taught you?”
    “Very well, Master. But tell me, will this make me immortal?”
    “I should say not!”
    “Then please, Master, teach me more!”
    The Patriarch jumped from the dais and stalked angrily up to Monkey. “You greedy creature! Will you
    never be satisfied? Will you never stop demanding?”
    He thumped Monkey on the head three times. Then, with his hands held behind his back, he stomped
    into his private chamber and slammed the door.
    “Stupid ape!” yelled one of the disciples. “You’ve upset the Master!”
    “Yes,” said another, “and who knows when he’ll come out again!”
    But Monkey just sat there grinning.
    Late that night, Monkey crept from the disciples’ sleeping place, out the front door of the cave, and
    around to the back. There he found the Patriarch’s door left open a crack.
    “Come in, Monkey,” came the Patriarch’s voice.
    Monkey slipped inside. In the candlelight, he saw the Patriarch sitting cross-legged on his cot.
    The Patriarch smiled. “I see you understood my secret signs.”
    “Yes, Master. I knew that hitting me three times meant to come here in the third watch of the night. And
    holding your hands behind you meant to use the back door. I came just as you instructed.”
    “In that case,” said the Patriarch, “it’s your destiny to learn the Way of Immortality. Come close, my
    disciple, and hear the secrets of Eternal Life.”
    And so the Patriarch revealed his precious wisdom. But what he said must not be written here.
    For three years Monkey practiced the secret techniques. His body grew hard and enduring and full of
    powerful energies. Then one day, he was sitting with the other disciples outside the cave.
    “Monkey,” said one of them, “what is that nonsense about the ‘Seventy-Two Changes’? Can you really
    turn yourself into something else?”
    “I certainly can,” said Monkey proudly.
    “We won’t believe it till we see it,” said another.
    “Then just watch this,” said Monkey. He called out, “Change!” And there in place of Monkey stood a
    unicorn!
    “Bravo! Bravo!” yelled the students. They cheered and applauded as Monkey changed back and took a
    bow.
    Just then, the Patriarch Subodhi burst from the cave. “What’s all this noise?” he shouted. “Don’t you
    know that followers of the Way never shout?”
    “We’re sorry, Master,” said Monkey. “I was just showing them one of my changes.”
    The Patriarch turned white. “Away, all of you—except Monkey!”
    When they were alone, the Patriarch turned on his disciple. “Is that how you use your powers—to show
    off? Don’t you realize the others will be jealous? They’re sure to come and demand your secrets. And if
    you refuse, they may seek revenge!”
    “Master, I’m sorry!” said Monkey. “I didn’t think!”
    “Well, I won’t punish you,” said the Patriarch. “But you’re not safe here any longer, so you’ll have to
    leave.”
    “Master, where would I go?” said Monkey in alarm.
    “That’s your business,” said the Patriarch. “But on your way, you’d better pick up a magic weapon for
    protection. The Dragon King of the Eastern Sea might have something useful.”
    “But, Master,” said Monkey with tears in his eyes, “how can I leave without repaying all your
    kindness?”
    “Don’t do me any favors,” said the Patriarch. “Once you’re gone, you’re bound to land in serious
    trouble. Just keep my name out of it, and don’t you dare tell anyone you’re my disciple!”
    “Master, I promise,” said Monkey. “Good-bye, Master.” Then he somersaulted into the air, landed on a
    magic cloud, and flew off, head over heels.
