shots like a rock/it

do check out jim mccrary's post about target shooting with william s burroughs here. mccrary was burroughs' office manager/assistant. i've no idea why burroughs was obsessed with guns and weaponry. there are a few vids floating about where the old beat talks about knives and guns. but below is the only vid i know of where you can see mccrary in jeans jacket helping to set up the target of shakespeare. funny yes, but i'm a pacifist by nature and even watching vids of guns, esp. pistols, freaks me out. i grew up with weapons, my father and i used to do a lot of hunting for deer and bear when i was a wee lad. however, the awesomeness of firepower is too intense for me. take nothing personal from my own fear and squeamishness. guns simply scare the shit outta me. i do like how mccrary ends his post with burroughs telling some punk to not shoot a living creature. and i do like how for a few moments you can see mccrary whom i consider a very close friend even if we have yet to meet in the flesh.
