lissome waifs stole my hair

Tyrone Shoes satat his usual booth in the corner of "The Dirty Sanchez" drinking his usual shot of Johnny Walker Purple (a mix of red and blue) and thinking his usual thoughts. the words "girls in bikinis and men with martinis an old lady walking her dog, hikers hiking, bikers biking, death comes in on the fog" kept scrolling across his otherwise blank mind like the annoying ticker thing at the bottom of all the news broadcasts.

Tyrone's girlfriend, Clamidya Brown, a waitress at "Shooter's Steak House and Mosque" had been acting all wierd lately, ever since that bout of Toxic Shock. She would occasionnaly burst out a phrase in Estonian, even though she didn't speak that language and never knew anyone who did. Tyrone followed her around all day one day with a tape recorder, and managed to capture a phrase and bring it to a linguistics expert, who translated it. It turns out Clamidya's bursts of turret's in a foreing language were bits of a recipe for some wierd baked fish dish.

Tyrone waited with the patience of a coked up kid with a belly full of espresso the night before christmas. He had bought a lottery ticket, and he knew, KNEW he was going to win, he had a dream, a vision, a gut feeling, and his gut was never ever wrong, except that one time at that shady day-old sushi place....

150 million dollors. oh boy, what tyrone would do with that money. first off, he would get Clamidya whatever medical help she needed. then he would give her a million or two and tell her to never talk to him again. She was an ok girlfriend, but she had some quirks that rubbed Tyrone the wrong way. like how she always took her shoes off before getting into the shower, or how she always hung up the telephone when she was done talking on it.

Tryone had plans. he was going to buy a small town somewhere in asia. he figured with that much money, he could set up a free hosipital, throw a town wide fully catered party once a month, and be a benevolant dictator. all he would ask in return would be everyone's loyalty and for everyone in the town to fight to the death to defend him, if any government or whatever tried to get rid of him.

"that is where saddam hussein went wrong" thought tyrone. if that wacky arab had forgone just one of his 80 bazillion dollor palaces and given, say, 100 dollors to every citizen once a year, all the people would have been happy and not let him be taken out. they would have gladly put up with his frat boy sons and thier frat boy antics of raping and killing at will, or the occasional gassing of some kurds (really, who likes kurds anyway?) if they got free cash once a year. and tyrone wouldn't even kill or rape or any of that. he just wanted his own town. kind of like playing "Sid Meier's Civilization" only on a real life, 1:1 scale. and he could probably get laid by a hot and sexy asian chick, which would be a pretty fine bonus in tyrone's book.

tyrone thought about how cool it would be, what a great and loved man he would be, building schools and temples and libra
ries and hospitals, and as he thought he mindlessly ate a complimentary bar pretzle, which he choked on. before anyone could get to him, tyrone suffocated and died.

the winning lottery ticket bunched up in his jeans was mistaken for an old recipet and burned with his clothes and no one has claimed that money to this day.

commiting murdercide

ok, so you are a 5'7" tall blonde with sparkly teeth, perky breasts and perfect skin. so you have a masters degree, you were captain of the volleyball team, you lived in Mongolia for 6 months building yurts and wells for the underprivalged. You speak two languages fluently and can quote Tennyson, Bukowski, and anything by Dark Horse Comics. You understand and can apply Hiesenberg's uncertainty principle in everyday life, you know HTML and Java and have your own webpage with hundreds of hits a day. You have a promising career and drive a sporty convertible and everyone likes you and you have friends who would take a bullet for you.... But do you do anal?

scott baiowulf

you know how dudes get a chicks name tattooed on thier body, then in less time than it takes a celebrity to avoid jailtime for a crime everyone else would get the chair for, they break up and the guy is stuck looking for a chick with the same name?

well, i was thinking.....what if i got a tattoo of a girl's name, then just spent my life looking for a girl with that name? then, when i found her, it would be like...destiny or something crazy, and i would know she was meant for me. it would be my way to force destiny, take control of my fate. maybe by commiting to a name before i even met the chick, i would invoke some kind of predestination thing, and i would meet her. then i would already have her name tattooed on me, so i would have that going for me.

well, i did such a thing. i got a name tattooed on my arm. it is a prediction. perhaps some girl will see the name and comment that it is her name, and we will talk, and she will find me interesting, and then we will have a cool story to tell everyone about how we met.

now all i have to do is wait until i meet a smart, sexy, hot chick with the name Beauregard.

ragnaraok and roll

i have not showered in three days. i have slept approximately 8 hours in the last 72 hours, only about 5 of them in a row, the rest in increments of 20 - 30 minutes whenever i could. my body is sore.

i went to Edgefest up in phoenix arizona with a guy who is from there (we crashed at his parent's house) and the mexican i went to see velvet revolver with. it was a one day concert which we sandwiched between two nights of all night "partying" which consisted of people sitting around and talking and drinking until 4 a.m. apparently that is what people do. all this time i thought i was missing something, but it turns out i am not missing too much. i had a good time, but i don't understand staying up until 4 am to drink and talk. if i am going to stay up all night, i am going to be doing something exciting or illegal or both. i can sit around and talk during daylight hours.

the rest of this piece will be a review of the concert, so if you aren't interested in that, don't waste your time reading further.

the weather was perfect (duh! it's arizona), the venue was big enough to be comfortable but small enough to not need a map to get around and see everything they had to offer pretty easily. four stages, two small, two main, one band on each stage at a time. the local no-name bands on the small stage, the big time rock and roll bands on the main stage. the local bands kicked some ass, more on that later. the local roller derby association was there puttin on demos and pimping thier thing, and i think i will become an avid roller derby fan once i settle in here. violence and rollerskates, two ingrediants for quality entertainment. someone asked to take a picture of my sneakers. i had about five comments on my sneakers throughout the day.

it wasn't too crowded, and the crowd had a damn good vibe. refreshingly, it wasn't a huge commercial for hot topic. in fact, i don't think i saw more than two hot topic outfits. it was genuine. there was, however, a metric fuckload of misfits shirts/tattoos/belts/whatever. this is cool, but surprises me as i know most of those kids have never seen the misfits or probably even listen to them. i wonder if it's the cool skull logo that attracts the kids so much. wierd. anyway, there was no peacock strutting, no territorial pissing, none of that posing that goes on at a lot of music festivals. even in the mosh pits and close to the stage people were pretty considerate, not too much idiocy going on. a good fun clean family affair really. like church, but louder and with a bit more pushing, piercings, and tattoos. a small, not so commercialized (yet still endorsed heavily by "the man") event that showcased some damn fine local talent as well as the big names.

i am now hot on a local band called Peachcake who are like, still in highschool or something, but put on a fun cool show. it was like a fucking party, and they sound like "atom and his package" mixed with Dead Milkmen. they fucking rock, not punk at all, and i think that is why i like them, after a while the screamo bands start to sound the same. and i don't think they have any cd's out, but i got thier t shirt. seriously, they were a fun band. goofy but cool.

the fun seriously started happening with a local band called Authority Zero, who kicked some ass and put on a damn good show. fenix tx also put on a damn good show. some band called Louis XIV played in cool hip suits and were ok, i couldn't tell if they sucked or not. Interpol was pretty awesome, and some 14 year old started throwing elbows and started a mosh pit, and people actually moshed to interpol. i swear people will mosh to anything, cause they think"that is what you do at a concert." i enjoy it, don't get me wrong, but to the right music. there is music for it, and interpol is not that music.

there was a lot of room, even close to the stage, until RISE AGAINST, when i looked around and noticed it suddenly got awfully croweded. as soon as they started, it was on. spectacular violence ensued, complete with my face being rubbed against sweaty naked backs, arms being twisted in all sorts of ways, people trying to shielf thier girlfreinds and everyone attempting not to fall down to avoid being trampled, but really, you almost can't fall down, it is too packed. i think i may have had sex with someone (hopefully she was not underage). i enjoyed seeing absolute fear on the faces of the people who were being twisted and shoved, as if they didn't realize that was going to happen. eventually enough room opened up to allow the dance of the damned, the cirlce of tormented souls, the mosh pit. as i was pushed from one pit, i ended up in another. i have to say, that was one of the main highlights of the day. the sheer violence of it all made me laugh uncontrollably, i needed it, it felt good and wonderful. i am not a violent man, but with the music and sweat and heat and energy....i swear if you could capture that energy, you could run a small city on it. and it all lasted about two songs, then everyone suddenly gave space and we all stood and listened to the music. it was wierd.

pennywise put on a great show and seemed like they were having fun. sadly for me, they didn't play "perfect people" or "searching" which are my all time favorite songs of thiers and i am compelled to jump into the nearst pit when i hear those songs. but still, they haven't lost thier edge, and the lead singer of rise against joined them for a tune which got everyone excited.

i finally got to see the phunk junkees, who put on a rollicking party type show, they kicked major ass. they are locals, from phoenix, and they were just downright damned fun to listen and dance to. they looked like they were having fun, and it made the whole damn thing fun. thier guitarist kicks serious ass. i danced and sang along to them.

and then, perhaps the greatest band in the world, SOCIAL DISTORTION. yeah yeah, mike ness can talk a bit too much at times, but are you gonna tell him he cant? and besides, he is one of the old skool granddaddys, he can pretty much do whatever the fuck he feels like. and he does. and he puts on a great show. i had not sang out loud for the other bands (much) but i scraemed and sang with every song Social D played, and danced and it was fucking fantastic. i basked in the sound, energy, complete feeling. i hope i feel the same way when i die if i get to go to heaven (chances are slim, but i can hope).

overall it was an emotional event, lots of fun and adreneline. i think about 72 breasts were rubbed up against me in the course of five hours, which is more than i have had in my whole pathetic life, so that alone was worth the price of admission. i also had the opportunity to trade sweat with about 200 strangers, and if you do a link association, i probably have touched the entire state of arizona and some of california. overall, the music was excellent, band put on a good show, the crowd was excellent, it was a great line up. definatly one of the best saturdays i have spent. i will attend this event every year until i die.

ok, what in sam hill (does anyone actually say "sam hill?) is the deal-e-o with all the damn stupid writst bands? yeah yeah, livestrong/lance armstrong started it and it was cool, then every tom dick and skittletits mcgee started having them, and now i can't go into a gas station for some burnt crappy coffee and a little debbie licky-chewy snack(mmm, little debbie, you vixen, how i crave your overprocessed high saturated fat siren call) without a half dozen rubber wristbands for sale for a buck or five.

no, it's not the cure for cancer, but that is what is on my mind at 6:45 in the morning after getting a full 1 hour 42 minutes of sleep in a 36 hour period.


oh, and truman capote, that little drug abusing alcoholic fag, sure can write a good story.

onward to mayhem.

assfuck

goddammit i am cursed i swear. i am meant to stay frustrated and tormented as if by the hand of some vindictive spirit who deep down hates me but pretends to be a friend while secretly laughing and joyously celebrating when things go wrong for me.

i need to change the address on my credit card, but for some fucking reason, they have my birthdate wrong. how the fuck did that happen and how, after many many years in dog time did that not come up or get fixed? fine, fuck you, i will get another fucking credit card, but oh no, for some motherfucking cocksmoking assfuck reason the goddamn website isn't working and i can't access my motherfucking god damn bank account. i hate it and i feel like i am being played. i feel like i don't have control over my own god damned (and god did in fact personally damn me to a slavish hellish life on this god forsaken by everyone planet) life.

it's like swimming upstream when your aren't a salmon, or when you are a salmon but there is a bear waiting for you. it's like pushing a door that says pull, but you are too fucking retarded to notice. it's like every god damned motherfucking cocksmoking shitpisscuntfuck decision i make is the exact wrong one, cleverly designed to cause the most greif/stress/heartache/pain humanly and inhumanly possible. there is a preternatural force fucking with me, i am life's bitch and life is the heavy handed pimp and i apparently owe the mutherfucker some money for crack that i didn't even get to smoke.

why do i get put in the special ed class of life? why must i be alligned with the bucktoothed two inch thick glasses wearing overweight slow speeched motherfuckers who grasp thier fork with all the fingers wrapped around it like they are going to jerk it off and shovel food in thier maw evern though they are already chewing? that makes me one of them by association. what the fuck did i do in my past life to make me come back as "that guy"? what god or goddess or diety or supreme being did i piss off? did i walk into someone's temple and whiz on thier sacred altar? i swear it was that guy named jinx who worked in the voodoo shop in new orleans during mardi gras so many years ago. either that or some jealous evil woman (which if you think about it, the term jealous evil woman is pretty damn redundant, women are born jealous and evil and find an easy mark and snag them and force them into a life of pitiful servitude while all the time acting helpless) put some fucking curse on me.

it's like an invisible fucking wall that surrounds me, and i swear if i could just break out of it, or clear it, get the goddamn monkey off my back....i need a fucking exorcism. fuck, i tried one, but interestingly, the charm i was given to keep disappeared two days later and i havent found it since, as if someone didn't want me to be free of whatever demon i am enslaved to....

fuck i hope i die soon and get it over with

do gay people use the term "Straight" as a pejoritve? dude, that is so straight.

in a horrible accident brought on by too much alcohol and a horniness that runs deeper than the imprint left by bam margera's dad on a bean bag chair, i stuck my dick into what i thought was a sex toy but turned out to be the gom jabbar. boy was i surprised. but i have to confess, i think i kind of liked it....

i went to get a tattoo last night, and buddah damnit all to iowa, they wanted to charge me one hundred bucks for a tattoo that shouldn't cost more than fifty bucks, tops. my other tattoos each cost a hundred or so, they are colored, larger, more intricate, and took more time than the one i want to get would be.

i guess it's cause tattoos are mainstream and almost expected and everyone has one or is going to get one, and so artitsts can charge whatever they want to. i remember when i could buy a cup of coffee for less than $4 dollors and no one cared if you drank coffee or not. now coffee is a religion with temples to the black bean on every corner. there is even a fucking coffee shop in safeway. SAFEWAY!

so i wonder if safeway, wanting to make your food buying experience the Best Ever!, will also have a litte tattoo shop in each store, so you can get a tattoo, a mocha heroin latte, and a box of frosted mini-scabs all in one convienient SUV trip.

anyway i didn't get the tattoo, but i will go up to tucson and see if i can find a reasonable artist who is willing to inject ink under my skin and stain my meat sack eternally in a decoritive pattern for a reasonable price.

LET'S PEE!!!!

So I got bit by a black widow. It was when I accidentally tipped over a casket at a southern baptist funeral.

I think marriage is an antiquated, outdated tradition, I don’t understand why people do it, it makes no sense to me. The only reason I can see for people to be married is if they want to have and raise children. Kids need two parents, and parents need someone who can help them, so other than training a human to be an adult, there is no need for marriage. In my opinion.

I have been pretty much alone for a good portion of my life on this spinning ball of dirt. I can cook for myself, I can do my own laundry, when I go to the movies I only have to pay for myself. why would i need someone else? Sex is awesome with another human, yes, but after years of marrying my bed (anne sexton, “the ballad of the lonely masturbator. Google it) I have pretty much come to be used to being lonely and alone.

Lonely. Ah yes, that is it, isn’t it? But sometimes, I think I would rather be lonely than be with someone who I don’t want to be with. It is Friday night as I write this, I am in my room with all my friends. Alone as usual. I would love some kind of companionship, and if that companionship came with a set of tits and female genitalia I could taste, well that would fucking rock. But you don’t need to be married for that. that aint gonna happen anyway, though. I would have to leave my room for that to happen, and even if I did leave my room, I could pretty much guarantee I would end up back in my room alone.

People used to marry for life, sure, but they also only used to live to be 40. We live longer now. Being with the same person for so long would get old and boring after awhile. How many people marry young, and realize after a few years they have changed and their tastes have changed and they no longer are interested in the person they are forever chained to? Our bodies regenerate after every seven years or so….every cell new, a complete new body, new person. Isn’t it possible our tastes change as well? Did you like the same foods as a kid as you do now? As stated earlier, other than an 18 year contract to raise another human, I can see no reason for staying together. Of course, I am weird and see things differently and I am a solipsistic little bastard, so there is that. As for infidelity….if I could get only the people who have cheated on their spouse to vote for me, I would be president without a doubt.

There is no perfect person, I know. No matter how perfect a person might seem, after a month, you see their flaws. I think the trick is to find the person who you are attracted to sooooooo much, their flaws are outweighed by your desire to be with them. Someone you can talk to, who you want to talk to, someone you want to listen to when they talk. I meet people and think “wow, why don’t I meet chicks like that?” and I know I would eventually get annoyed with them and their weird quirks, and I am pretty certain they would get sick of me in less time than it takes an avocado to get over ripe, but still…..if only…….

So I think it would be funny and/or cool if avogadro called up someone and got their machine with the message “leave your name and number and I’ll get back to you” and he said” yeah, this is avogadro, my number is six point zero two times ten to the twenty third. Thanks.”

demons are a gouls best fiend

The devil and I sat down for a drink
I had so many questions from all the time I had to think
about the way life works, or rather the way it don’t.
Do you think I’ll care that’s grammatically wrong?
Well, no. no, I won’t.

So I ask the unholy host of the netherworld if he has anything to do with art and the internet and all that, and he laughs derisively, making me feel even worse, and in a voice smoother than Mel Torme and more reassuring than a hug from someone with a soft fuzzy sweatshirt, Ol‘ Scratch says to me, “It’s retarded questions like that which cause me to marvel how cognitively simple animals like you ever figured out how to procreate and keep your worthless species alive. Do you have an extra chromosome or something?”
Then he went on to explain…

“I have nothing to do with artists and the internet. However, and see if you can follow me on this you failed abortion, the artists and internet do in fact work in my favor. Artists, the truly talented artists, the ones you aspire to be and will fail at miserably every time, they get that from, oh lets call him “the deadbeat dad.” However, the teeming masses of untalented fucks like yourself, well, you morons get all jealous, and are filled with self doubt and self hatred, and *THAT*, my useless animal, works for me. I don’t have to do anything, which gives me time to fuck your mother and grandmother in the ass…yes, your pious mother and her mother are both down with me, you‘ll see them soon. What? I would never lie to you . Anyway….

The internet…no I had nothing to do with that. You animals do most of the work for me really, I just sit back and reap the benefits. The easier it is to show unlovable refuse like you how smart and loved and revered others are, the quicker you go about trying to be something you are not, and that usually leads to me. You are never satisfied, you are never content, and the internet shows you what you are missing, and shows you how worthless you truly are. The beauty is, you think you are in some kind of competition, and you struggle to be something you are not, and you think you are missing out on something. You will try to reach that spectre of success, and in reaching, you will grab my hand. Here, let me get you another drink, ok?”

So he comes back with two fresh drinks and I ask him, “What about that guy I work with, the 25 year old whose bases his life on what he reads in MAXIM. The one with the perfect skin, perfect height, perfect set of muscles, and his buddy? They have a close friend ship, chicks dig them, guys dig them, they are living the life right now, and me? Well, anyway, I just want to know, do you have something to do with their success? It makes no sense. Forget the personal angle, what about all the stupid people who people have to work with and deal with, the dumb ones who get the kudos the ones who don't work but everyone thinks is so great? What about the idiots who have no clue yet seem to be the ones making the decisions? ”

“Look, you Special Ed dropout, I don’t. But as you should be able to see, their success works for me, even though it may be a gift from the deadbeat dad, which shows you how much he cares about you now, doesn’t it? Don’t you feel neglected? Don’t you hate the fact that those two perfect models for pro-wrestling seem to have more talent and success than you and the chicks flock to them and look at you like you are covered in vomit? Doesn’t it make your veins run with the sweet ochre of jealousy and rage? When you have the correct answer but they won’t listen to you and fuck shit up, and they are seen as doing things the right way, doesn’t that just bother you like an itch on the bottom of your foot when you are wearing thick soled boots? Well, there you go, I have nothing to do with it, and yet, it comes back to me. Do you know what I do? Do you know how you sit there, and it’s like a pimple right under the surface, you just *KNOW* you have something there, but you cant get to it, like when a pencil falls behind the desk and it is *JUST* out of reach of your fingers no matter how you scrape your arm to shove it a half millimeter farther? *THAT*, you stupid fuck , is me. So was the drunk driver who killed your father, and yes, your father sucks my dick after I fuck your mother in the ass. But as I was saying, it’s not too difficult really, I just keep it from you. As far as you know, you have nothing, I just make you *THINK* you have something that you can’t get to. Hahahah, what do you do? You get frustrated, etc etc, ad infinitum. This really bores me, you bore me, I hate you just like everyone who knows you hates you whether they say it or not to your face just know in your heart everyone hates you and suicide is an easy and quick solution. Ta.”

And he was gone. And yes, the motherfucker stiffed me with the bill.

dragonriders of porn

the "hotel" i am staying in is a room, it's an apartment type arangement. there is a hotel about two blocks from here that has a "continental breakfast." every now and again, i pop over there and get free coffee and a bagle. is that wrong? i dont' think so. i figure there is at least one person in that hotel that is not drinking the coffee or eating the bagel, and really, a lousy cup of coffee and the occasional bagel isn't going to bankrupt them. mmmm, free food.

if you are bored and hungry and have nothing better to do, go to a large hotel that has room service and walk up and down the halls and you can get some good stuff on the carts outside rooms waiting to be picked up. if you are feeling extra ballsy, go into a crowded restaurant at peak hours, and if you time it right, you can get the leftover food on people's plates when they get up and leave. mmmm, free cake.

so....it is done.... it is complete. i now have a no shit, true track bike. a fixed gear bicycle the way it is supposed to be. i took the brake that came with it off. i now have no brakes on the bicycle. to see the difference, go to the pics, they are there. you will notice a distinct lack of things like gears, cables, brakes, or any of those things you just dont need when riding a bicycle in traffic...

i rode a few laps around "the block" after removing the brakes. it was a smooth dream-like ride, the temperature was perfect, the road felt smooth and flat, and frankly, i think the bike rode itself, i was just a passenger. here are the thoughts that popped into my head as i glided along:

*sniff sniff* someone's grilling...

hey, a rabbit...

hello dog..., hey! stop barking at me dumbass, good thing you are fenced in...

that guy is watching sports on tv in his living room...

must be a wheelchair at that house, there is a ramp...hey, a house with a ramp, that might be fun...

oh crap, an intersection, hey, i don't have brakes....

i bet that driver thinks i can just stop whenver i want to...

"hey baby" or in this case "hola chica"...

holy shit, i forgot i am actually peddling...

god i love arizona....


it was better than looking at porn on the internet. i tried to stay at a controllable pace, but the bike was like "hey, lets go a bit faster, c'mon, we can go just a *bit* faster," and who am i to argue. it occurred to me just what having no brakes means when i got to the intersection and realized "hey, there might be some cars coming..."


but it was effortless, and i loved it. i had to be aware, i noticed things a bit more, but it is a great bike. next i must get me a track bike tattoo, possibly ringed in little devils and fire and skulls and such...

tomorrow, i shall take the bike on the highway and go a bit farther....just to be safe, i will only make right hand turns...
