Born on this day. "Imagine the brass horn warm to the touch from the heat of all his air, the soft bells of his lungs that spill and ring" youtu.be/saN1BwlxJxA?...

My city contains multitudes

Uncovered an Artefact

I dreamed Taylor Swift got struck by lightning

Until it's time to sing this song over my grave Like a boy who just forgets the morning shave Or the girl gets that hound dog to behave I will sing to you youtu.be/B8TVMgrZbwo?...

Going door to door like a Jehovah's Witness asking this

Watching Rossdale doing Glycerine in the looming darkness, there's a funereal quality, the final sundown for the alternative years: goodnight to the rock and roll era.

Wound up talking to some kid in his early 20s who was carrying this under his arm at the bar. Said he was about to start Nietzsche. Probably no red flags there, right?

Until I watched this video I assumed being a child sex slave was totally awesome. Turns out it sucks!

Doing a little reading

Jeremiah Johnson was one of my dad's favorite movies, so much so that he wanted to name me after the title character. It was only after they decided that would make me JJ Evans the plan was aborted, and a bullet, of a kind, was dodged

Avengers: Endgame actor Robert Redford has died.

How it feels when @mourningdoves.bsky.social asks me if I know about Vince Gill

Bill Monroe, born on this day, 1911

Me, scrolling thru Instagram: man Paul Wall is looking handsome these days. Not a thought I was expecting but here we are

Me on my nightly Circle K run

hbd John Martyn youtu.be/kgf422ipHD0?...

Guy being marched at gunpoint through the gates of the Charlie Kirk Memorial Rehabilitation Camp For Political Dissidents: political violence isn't the answer!

Turn the light out, say goodnight No thinking for a little while Let's not try to figure out everything at once It's hard to keep track of you falling through the sky

Performative Reading

Slimer street, Christmas Day 2018

"...and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him."

I can always tell when a storm's comin. My mitochondria start actin up.

This is the rig Bruce Wayne wears in Kingdom Come

Had a woman ask me earlier if we had "the Fantas with Chucky* on em." *the evil doll

Of all the pools of things to wake up in, your own blood is gotta be top two worst at least

People who get engaged love to photograph themselves scream-laughing like they got dosed with Joker venom

One of the greatest miscarriages of justice in history is the Goo Goo Dolls being most famous for Iris (a bad song) instead of Name (a good song)

At the Mexican restaurant

Heard that Manchild song by Sabrina Carpenter for the first time tonight. Sounds like the Doobie Brothers. Which means it's good.

@mourningdoves.bsky.social said I should post some photos on here. I said "ok." A true story! Also here's a picture

Frank Miller art, 1981/Frank Miller art, 2001

“In 1321, we read in the chronicle of the monastery of St. Stephen of Condom, a great deal of snow fell during the month of February. The lepers were exterminated. There was another great snowfall before the middle of Lent; then came a great rain.”

Two Wolves

Found him

Very worried re the upcoming Lonesome Dove remake. They will probably make it woke, & instead of Robert Duvall & Tommy Lee Jones it'll be like Zendaya & Sydney Sweeny & instead of driving cattle to market they're taking them to become transgender. At the transgender stockyards.

Bruce Springsteen: "I noticed that due to what must have been some strong homoerotic undercurrent in our music, we were drawing rooms filled with men." Wonder what gave em that idea, Bruce?

Same vibe

George Custer's two brothers also died at Little Bighorn, which means technically we should be calling it Custerses Last Stand, but apparently nobody but me is brave enough to have that conversation

On the way home earlier I saw a guy behind the barbershop with a sword in each hand, swinging them around and doing tricks.

They got the inspirational popcorn

Someone at the bar told me there's an old German expression that says "there is no dick harder than life," and, in this instance at least, those Germans were totally right.

Remembering how in 2017 my local bar had two dollar wells on Tuesday, two-for-one shots on Wednesday, and dollar-fifty wells on Thursday, and mourning like for the loss of Atlantis.

Lana Del Rey vs Ethel Cain

Instagram suggested I become friends with a car wash; we have three mutual friends. Why are people I know friends with the car wash.

I dunno...this feels like the sign a Fake Church would have as a trap

Took a stroll through the ol boneyard this afternoon

It would be cool if those South Park guys made some cartoons about how they spent the last 25 years helping to create the shithead right wing culture they've apparently just now realized is bad.
