  • ADMIT

    So, these are the projects I’m currently working on: Blatherworth & Bruiser: A poetry book starring all of the lyrics of my first twelve albums. Probation Diary: A transcription book of the audio journal-entries I made for forty days, leading into the End of my probation.

  • How to Be the Ubermensch.

    As usual, I’m going to lean into the connotations, here, but for anyone who would like to know, I think this is a good prescription to be the Ubermensch.

  • Appreciate the Good, in You .

    While the culture is busy pushing the acceptance of the killing of innocent babies, the erosion of our culture with whatever those poor, poor people who just want to make more money from those poor, broken-down countries that somehow they still take vacations to and send back money to are bringing here (they’re from hard-off…

  • Reading Failures, and Life Update.

    Well, this week has been an okay reading week as compared to my reading in the past five or ten years cumulatively, but it’s not been what I signed up for. In that I didn’t read what I signed up for, almost at all. But Fuck it.

  • Top 25 Rap

    Now, here is where I belong making lists. I know enough about rap to make a list like this more easily and more informedly than the metal one, but that doesn’t mean that I would constitute an expert as much as a heavy enthusiast. (Like a smoker.) I know enough to head off any comments…

  • First Reading Day: Mixed Success.

    “Hot piss on the tip of my lips. “ —The Yellow River Boys, “Hot Piss” I had a better first day than I might have thought I would. I genuinely enjoyed the beginning pages of “Graveyard Shift,” by Stephen King, which is my short story for the Monday and Tuesday, of this Week.

  • Getting Back into Reading, Again.

    And I have the perfect plan, too. Other than just spending the time that I’m writing and thinking about reading actually reading, I have an incremental, step-wise plan to conquer the reading Mountain. Just read short stories! Seriously. Similarly to how you would do smaller weights before you do larger ones, and how you would…

  • There’s a war goin’ on outside No man is safe from. —Mobb Deep, “Survival of the Fittest” I have been battling my way through a sea of shit for basically my entire life. Let’s not just say it was with the government stripping me of everything for some emails I sent. It was before then,…

  • Reading Week.

    So, this is going to be my preparation for the reading week ahead: I start my weeks on Monday, because starting them on Sunday is bullshit. Sunday is the last day of the Week, and it always has been. And so on this last day of the week, which is actually my Tuesday and then…

  • Top 25 Metal

    Now, if you had asked me two years ago if I knew enough metal to make a Top 25 list, I would have said, “No, here’s my top ten.” But, if you were to ask me now, I’d say, maybe, “Well, I just watched a little of Coverkillernation’s list of his Top 50, leading me…
