scarf and shorts… get fucked ass hole

learn my lesson?

saw a red wing blackbird bending a reed at the edge of the swamp for the first time this year. probably my favorite ‘image of nature’

my twitter experience was cursed from day one bc i started my account from a place of deep pain and spite, and i have never laughed. but if i had, it would have been at an ancient greg nog or extranapkins tweet

relaxing forklift ride parking lot drizzle vibes w/ goose sound

this mf said he prefers rain to drizzle

made the wrong decision about outerwear every day this week so far

big difference btw being a dickhead-at-large vs ‘your faithful dickhead’

always important to let the client know that we’re all morons who valorize death and injury on the job

i have to practice banjo, but it’s prime window-opening weather

when i built this thing only 2 or 3 years ago, I owned 2 guitars and thought it almost clownish hubris to make a stand w/ 5 slots

stranger at the deli thought I was 21 💅 but it was because of the size of my order/my perceived appetite.

“shimmer”-style tinnitus

went down county to swap out propane tanks for the forklift, picked up a free left handed banjo as well

the various outer tri state accents are soooooo grating after you become acclimated to the patient tones of the midwestern metropolitan.

turn-of-century dorm room

this looks like beans and candy corn to me but this guy made some enormous works on canvas. we stretched one on the gallery floor, and i had to wear socks and walk on the canvas to brace the middle bc it’s 16’ x 24’ of floppy 1x3. when it finally went up it was like an amish barn

standing up in my apartment and walking around like it’s a store

the global state park

sending edible arrangements to my friends to apologize for being a shut-in

skunk cabbage is up

james harden looks like gimli these days

my uncle's friend got rich off microsoft stock and donated a bunch of money to David Cone's charitable foundation to get David Cone to come to his birthday party, and David Cone kissed the guy's wife on the mouth at the end of the night when he said goodbye

I hate using the little knob on the forklift steering wheel bc of one time my brother made fun of me 20 years ago.

in the part of the mental health cycle where I can’t stop thinking about the Abyss breathing fluid

annoying that the society who relied on inaccurate showtimes and business hours from google summaries/yelp pages for 15 years is now asking why restaurants and venues don’t have websites. we all loved this garbage until ten minutes ago

just found out that the apartment building my dad grew up in was made of bricks from the old brickyard in the town where i currently live, the same bricks piled up on the river shore behind my apartment. weird little paperback local history books they sell at the pharmacy are very cool

i love this guy’s billowing chaps.. contemplating the workwear pant leg in the age of saddle.

at the pharmacy reupping my goos

kind of thrilling to eat fruit salad with your hands

turned on the chuck norris film ‘code of silence’ bc i’m recuperating all weekend… and this is the first second. why are so many 80s movies loaded w/ beautiful chicago moments? why did we stop doing that? maybe the dark knight’s secret sauce really was the location shooting

about to eat soup from one of my newer bowls

my stepmom is a lock for first ballot saint in heaven whenever she retires from being nice

changing my tv backlight from Relax to Cozy bc i’m stuck at home sick for the weekend :(

forces’s sweetheart

The cycle of the gods is in rejoicing at thy rising; the earth is in gladness seeing thy rays; come forth the ancestors with cries of joy to see thy beauties every day. (BDB)

in the year 2000 i wrote a very short memoir ‘chapter’ abt Chuck Norris for school, and because no one really had a concept for shitposting at the time, my teacher took me aside and told me i needed to read david eggers’ a heartbreaking work of staggering genius.

just saw a shovel excavator on a barge that appeared to be designed in minecraft

bring it back

that dinergoth article is uncannily reminiscent of the weird sex creeps who used to hang out at the mall Borders and complain about the relative growth of the manga section while preying exclusively on manga readers. and that was almost 20 years ago

neighbor was striding through the parking lot in _very_ Luke-like black robes. didn’t expect to see that today

they are giving me 3 and a half days to drive a rental sedan from Tullahoma, TN to New York. i am also permitted to choose accommodations at will along whatever route I take. an incredible boon

ideal bar entertainment is a goodwill vhs of The Hunt for Red October on a muted 13” goldstar tv/vcr. i don’t drink

my nose is cold and i don’t want to eat my sandwich

it pisses me off that body health is largely independent of mind/attitude health, but not the other way around. laughter, experience’s otherwise inseparable handmaiden, is too frightened of decrepitude to tolerate a little nausea?

sloughing that shit off

beyond happy that st patricks day is now a holiday about celebrating the unbelievably good location shooting throughout The Fugitive

to have your quaint sayings and actions recalled by hundreds!
