Oh weekend...
Today was the last day I had to do “End of Month” at this job. It’s a pain in the fucking ass. I will not miss it. Not even a little. I’m exhausted. I’ve gone in early the past two days because I’ve had to do extra work because of the end of the month and that means making collections on off days so we can get that money into the bank, etc.
I’m supposed...
I am all fucked up And I am ready to break I...

It's a moving sale! →
Um, yeah, I’m moving and the Swan & Edgar EP is still for sale, so we’re calling it a Moving Sale. Download it for just FOUR BUCKS!
Remember, I get one-third of everything sale, minus all fees, so if you want to pay like $10,000 for it, you can, but realistically, you just have to pay $4 if you want it.
I really need to stop listening to this song.
What’s your favorite tear-jerker, love song, guilty pleasure power ballad?

Sadly, sir, it does seem to be reflective of who we are, more and more, every day.
Ryan Adams' Ashes and Fire.
I’ve listened to it once through. I like it. A lot. Probably a top-5 record for this year in my list of records that I like the most that came out this year.
The instrumentation is beautiful, subtle but layered. Benmont Tench really does bring something extra to the arrangements and Glyn Johns has done a fantastic job producing the tracks.
Ryan’s voice sounds great, emotional, but...

Are there any girls who like Social Distortion?

Someone just played the “It must be a guy thing.” as to why they don’t like Social Distortion.
Quick show of hands, please?
Love Social D.
That’s one. And I know you have impeccable taste.
Prosecution rests, your honor.

Born to lose and destined to fail...
When I was hanging out in Little Rock, someone asked me “What do you do?” and drunkenly, I said, “I’m a derelict.”
It got a laugh. It was funny. It’s also sad, because it’s pretty much true.
I had recently decided to make some changes. I had kicked around a few options. Then suddenly, things were set in motion and it wasn’t about thinking of...

I’m born to lose and destined to fail”

“FYI- Punk bands don’t sing ballads.”

A ballad is “a narrative song with a recurrent refrain.”
I think a good number of Ramones songs fit that definition, as well, as some Rancid tunes off the top of my head.”Ruby Soho”? “Ball and Chain” is definitely a narrative song, so that...

One Fast Move or I'm Gone...
I don’t know why I make the choices I make, if there’s some synapses that steer me towards bad decisions or I’m predestined to self-destruct or maybe I’m just an asshole.
See, I’ve got these itchy feet to just go somewhere. To just hit the fucking road with no map or plan. It’s a bad idea. It’s not even debatable. But still I have some romantic notion...

I'm fighting off a cold...
And by “fighting off” I mean I’m laying in the corner in the fetal position while it kicks me in the face with pointy-toe shoes on.
CAN I GET SOME VITAMIN C UP IN THIS MOTHERFUCKER?
I was asked by my friend to write an essay for his blog on the topic of my past struggles with agoraphobia and my favorite album.
I’ve written close to 1000 words, but as I sit here, listening to the songs, it’s hard to get past the notion that if you just put the album on and listen, really pay attention…I could say, “This. This is all you ever need to know about me. This...

Society getting mad at the death penalty for the death of a potentially innocent person is kind of like getting mad at the sidewalk for the bump on your head when you tripped over your own shoelaces. What you need to be focused on is figuring out how to tie your fucking shoes correctly.

My spine was severed as a child I never learned to walk I was blinded and left in the wild to grow feral and reckless abandon shapes a man like white hot iron it’s painful and unforgiving
I retrace my steps from the womb through emotionless swamps and big brown eyes, wide like tunnels full of trains and find myself twelve-stories high and thinking of Superman and old ghosts and other things...
