A SERIES OF PAINED FACIAL EXPRESSIONS MADE WHILE SHREDDING AIR GUITAR: Poems, Observations, Lists, Letters, Notes, Bullshit Aphorisms, and General Tales of Ordinary Crabbiness by BRIAN ALAN ELLIS
Have you ever listened to heavy metal albums on a tape deck while playing Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!! Over at your best friend’s trailer? Are you a Shia LaBeouf completist? Have you ever wondered what would happen if you suddenly peed on your cat? Have you ever tried drunkenly convincing loved ones that Goodfellas is mandatory Christmas viewing? Do you long for the days when Hulkamania was the strongest force in the universe? Do you scream into pillows? Do you get sad pleasure from watching Chuck Norris kick the shit out of dudes on coke? Do you eat cream cheese sandwiches for dinner and then cry yourself to sleep every night? Have you somehow Jacque Cousteau’d a new depth to the ocean that is your self-hate? Is this the year you finally give up and start a food truck and then immediately crash it into something? If so, then congratulations: You’ve just graduated into your total dark side persona, and Brian Alan Ellis is here to text you “Zzzzzzz…” and other sweet nothings using a Virgin Mobile flip phone purchased at a Dollar General before Obama was president, so get hella stoked!

Brian Alan Ellis
“I think I ‘borrowed’ these ridiculous black-and-white numbers from a friend’s roommate without asking. (I doubt they’re missed, but who knows?) I’m convinced that they’re, like, costume clown shows. They’re kind of floppy, like you could easily bend them in half and they’d somehow fit inside your pocket. I used to wear these at gigs my band would play at, which is where the above picture was taken. My girlfriend really loves them. She says they were the first thing she noticed the night we met, which seems legit since the rest of me isn’t all that impressive. Still.”
