don't become the things you hated
as commander bejar sang ... but the rebels are not now the compassionate dictator, right? in this age of self-appointed tastemakers does one's emphasis/enthusiasm become one's undoing, credibility-wise? if you pick up on it quick ... and all. the answer to the question is always, no, no one cares. and why should they? this will all be gone in three beers or the apocalypse, whichever comes first. and, this is nice

in a time machine this shit was genius
i had a little magazine. tiny. fit in your pocket. the random, pot-fueled content would have been adequate for blog-stardom. i quit smoking. oh, well. salud. still, who cares enough to opst regularly. the 140 character inquisition is right on top of us. and, they're funny, too. so, burn out. turn off. suck it.

and another thing
four years ago i was bitching about '80s nostalgia. now that shit is everywhere. welcome to old-ton, you old fuckers.
are you fucking kidding me?
can the sweetest of toot suite be revived to bang the boards again? (i'm talking to you, dawkins, et al.) can blind items and rhetoric replace oratory? can liminalism replace the right wing? have i stopped making sense? fuck you, serifs, and all that you stand for. ox, nvo

what was i saying ...?
that i need something to be ruffled about? i don't think so. I can say that the lore that vinegar listed first in the vinegar + salt equation = more vinegar. at least once. today. can i kick-start this craphole? can i find the time to care about music enough to champion it? i start this wreck to slag the fuck out of all crappy music, but don't have the energy. e.g. scooters, vacation, fall
Labels: fall, scooters, vacation

oh how time flies
five years ago i would have filled these pages with venom. two months ago, maybe. now lethargy and stupor overtake whatever vitriol to which i may have aspired. silly punctuation. have you ever gone over to a friends house to eat and the food just isn't any good? would that i were bombastically inclined, perhaps i could reflect every emtion and monitor each breath in exchange for dollars. but i'd rather be sleeping and/or getting that fucking chainsaw to fucking start. and, i'd much rather be cursing. xo

the 'sphere
i am all ready to take more dead aim, but, yaknow, as cranky as i am and can be, i'm a bit concerned about future employment. maybe i'll be uselessly vague, like, "that band that everybody likes ... they suck."
