Began 2018 under the impression that my band was going to attempt to be "more fruitful", that I was going to write/record some songs, share the stage with Enemy Soil, and appear on a Man is the Bastard tribute.
End 2018 having accomplished literally none of that... last lingering ties to that particular milieu just about severed... with no new music opportunities on the immediate horizon (although with all the nazi apologists, rapey shenanigans, unforgiving punishers, entitled gatekeeping, and moral outrage scalp collecting that has come to typify underground scene navigation, perhaps I'm dodging nuclear fallout here).
I guess terse, low-performing social media posts will have to suffice until I can get a dirty ding dang dong book published or find some well meaning rich lady to hire me as a love slave that lives in a shark cage that's been suspended from the ceiling of her master bedroom (I'll leave you to speculate on which of the 2 scenarios is the most plausible).
I'm sure 2019 will be totally different, that we won't continue to forgo real connections in favor of hurling vitriolic insults at nth tier micro-celebrities over the Internet... that I won't have to keep watching the scales of opportunity tilt in favor of shady mongoloids and idiot scumbags while I anesthetize myself with enough obscure CDs and tasty Rubens to keep me off the local news for throwing cinder blocks into baby carriages like some kind of silly goose. Sew Happeh.
"they don't notice when you're being provoked; only when you retaliate."
anyway, what did i miss since the last post?
well the new Hellboy movie looks like shit, the new Jordan Peele movie looks really good, Louis CK has given up the ghost and is now pandering to the same alt-right suck-puppets that delighted in phase 1 of his downfall but now have pivoted into ardent defenders of his work because he's decided to dunk on transgender people and mass shooting survivors, and Trump still makes me say "cunt" more than William Bennet.
