Those Were the Days
From . . . man, about 2005 until maybe 2011? 2012? there were so many of us there. Pre-Facebook, sort of alongside MySpace and the other bulletin boards (I remember being somewhat active on Shock-Waves too—think that’s what it was called).

It Begins
All right, I guess, yes, I’m finally going to have to play a video game.
'Ancestors' is an open world survival game where you control a group of “hominins” and explore, expand, and lock in new knowledge so you can evolve. It provides a novel way of envisaging the Africa in which our ancestors had to survive and evolve within.https://t.co/ulY48Qivb1

Once Bitten
Slaughter, D-A-D, Skid Row, Poison, Mötley Crüe, Warrant, Ratt, Faster Pussycat, Tesla, Kix, King Kobra, Trixter, Jackyl, Cinderella, Guns n’ Roses, Lita Ford, Bon Jovi, Vixen, Twisted Sister, Steel Dragon, Bang Tango, Quiet Riot, Def Leppard, LA Guns, Great White, Whitesnake—these are a few of my favorite things. Which I guess is just another way of saying I was born in 1972, meaning I got my first truck in 87, meaning I had that hair metal volume knob cranked all the w…

A Week in the Life
what this is:
last week, maybe the week before, I don’t know, I had a lot to write, so figured to keep myself somewhat on-task by making myself log down what-all was going on. this is that—closing down files, found it off to the side. just added the images and stuff. and, to be sure, this isn’t a success-story week: wrote a lot, but not exactly what I needed to be writing.
Sunday:
done for the moment with The Only Good Indians copyedits, just finished up months and months …

The Art I Need

Like a tree
In which there are three owls
Hooting at each other
At four o'clock in the fucking morning
And one of those three minds
Is trying to talk the others
Into buying a shotgun.
And who knows, maybe the exact seahorse unicorn …
