MY LIST

Before we get to my list we need to talk about my list. This list is my list. You also may have a list. If you are on my list, you definitely have your own list and I am on your list. You may be (and you probably are) on someone else's list. I, however, am only on the list of those listed here.

Sometimes I think my list is too long. Sometimes I think my list is too short. Do you know anyone on my list? Are you on my list? If not, would you like to get on my list? Did I forget to put you on my list? Do you qualify for my list? Would you like to qualify for my list? Are you worthy of my list? It is a realistic possibility to get on my list. You don't need to be a realist to get on my list. You can enlist for my list and some have even chosen to re-enlist for my list.

Whether you are on my list or not, you need to listen to those voices in your head trying to help you understand my list. If you are not on my list, don't be listless. List ways to get on my list and use them as a checklist to get on my list. Listerine alone, will not get you on my list.

There is no blacklist. You are either on my list or not on my list. You might list from side to side, but you cannot be crossed off my list. Don't go ballistic. You will always be on my list. If holistic medicine fails you and you die, the buglist (not my list of insects) may play for you, but you will still be on my list. Some on my list have paid to be unlisted. Some wish to be on the non-existent unlisted list.

A catalyst to my list is a good checklist. You can get on my list by following the checklist and you can stay off my list if you follow the other checklist. You cannot be checked off my list. I don't maintain a shit list.

Sonny Liston, the pugilist, is not on my list, but some on my list are knockouts. Stephanie Zimbalist is on the A list and a candidate for the short list, but she is not on my list. Franz Josef Liszt is not on my list and I am not on Liszt's' list.

I am proud of my list. I am ashamed of my list. I love my list. Grow list grow. It's almost time to name my list. My list starts with a list of lists.

1. Those not on my list. Of those not on my list there are those that

  A. Don't want to be on my list and those that
  B. aspire to my list.

2. Those who almost made my list and

3. Those who are on my list. Then there are those who

  A. Don't want to be on my list and those that
  B. Can't get off my list. And those that are
  C. Proud to be on my list.
  D. Some on my list, encourage others to get on my list.

We might want to get on each other's list. Put me on your email list and/or your list of things to do (top of the list, please). You cannot be at the bottom of my list unless you are on my list and then you will be at the top of my list as each of the others were at one time.
