Alright.  What’s up everybody.  The midterms happened!  They’re not really midterms for all of congress and a third of the senators.  They’re just TERMS for them.  Let’s normalize saying The Terms Happened.  Why.  Gotta do something!  I saw some alt-right tech guy tweeted on Wednesday mentioning something about Superintelligence AND AI which I guess is his dumb performative attempt to reach across the aisle.  Wait a second.  AIsle.  Now I’m scared!  Can AIsle-ep.  AI never sleeps that’s part of why I’m so scared of it!  EP means Extended Play in albumtalk.  Eps are shorter than LPs.  How can EXTENDED PLAY mean the SHORTER kind?  Anyway I don’t have a small dick it’s actually an EXTENDED PENIS if we’re talking real.   Anyway WHY would anyone be reading this entry when they can be STARING at the house and/or senate results some more.  Just LOOK at the map.  Or reread the numbers.  Looking at Governorships or other results are acceptable pastimes as well.  WHY would you do anything else for the next three weeks!  Just keep refreshing the same data because it’s really fun to keep absorbing over and over again.  Also there’s NEWS.  It’ not just same old results.  It’s Good Things Still Continuing To Happen Over Time!  WOW.
   Well anyway.  I had a mackup guitar lesson last night and I have a regular one tonight.  That’s like real school at this point!  Lesson After Lesson!  Maybe I’ll learn something now that this is like real school.  Hmm.  We got through election season!  Now it’s time for Governance Season.  I wonder what the Democrats will do with their large majorities in house and senate.  MORE CUSHION FOR THE PUSHIN is how I feel.  I like how a lot of these new Democrats are guys I can have a beer with.  Or that’s how they’ve presented themselves at least.  Is El-Sayed a beer drinker?  That might not be Halal.  Does Talarico drink beer?  Might be against his religion, too.  His, “God,” might punish him!  Not sure I trust Talarico’s name.  My first guess is it translates from Spanish to English to Tolerate The Rich.  Which I am hesitant to do!  I think I tolerate the rich.  I think that’s exactly what I do with the rich!  In fact I even might want to be rich myself one day so I can continue tolerating myself!  The point is I think if Democrats just stand by their convictions assuming they had some to begin with everything could somehow work out.  C’mon Mike what are the odds everything will somehow work out.  I dunno 50/50 or so?  WOW FIFTY OVER FIFTY?  ONE?  100%?  THAT’S AMAZING.
    Great.  I’ll have beer with a lot of these people.  I’m a compulsive drinker!  I dunno if that’s true.  Chuck Shumer not so much.  I don’t wanna spend one more second with him.  That reminds me I was watching Bride of Chucky and it reminded me how Chuckie is a weird name for Charles Lee Ray.  PERFECT name for The Murderous Doll.  STRANGE name for Brad Dourif’s character as a human beforehand.  I’ve seen him as a human Charles Lee Ray and he does NOT look or act like a Chucky.  I DON’T LIKE IT ONE BIT.  What argument does Chucke Shumer have in his favor for being majority leader.  That’s who he already was.  Yeah but WHY.  Cause that’s what’s what.  Yeah but IT SUCKS.  But that’s the default if we don’t do anything.  Yeah but IT’S FUCKED.  Wait a second… Charles Lee Ray… Ray Charles… WHAT TE HELL.  I guess In Child’s Play when Chucky The Doll said his name in Proper Way, last name first, he would have to say his name was RAY, CHARLES.  Anyway what movie monster shares a name with Hakeem Jeffries.  Hmm.  There was a kid in my class named Jeffrey.  He was literally the only boy shorter than me when I was a kid.  I believe at some point he had a growth spurt and is now over six feet.  That’s kind of like a monster!  Maybe Monster Energy Drink was involved in that story somehow.  I feel like I lost you, the reader, somewhere along the telling of that anecdote.
   Okay.  Now it’s time to get ya back!  Gonna have to pull out all my tricks!  Huh.  How come Andy Barclay wasn’t concerned that his doll was alive even if he didn’t suspect it of being a murderer at first.  He was what, eight years old?  TOY AIN’T SUPPOSED TO BE ALIVE. You should know this stuff!  THAT’S WRONG.  ALERT THE AUTHORITIES RIGHT AWAY.  Be concerned!  Run away!  Something’s The Matter!  What a dolt.  Also why did Chucky just stay inactive for a week or whatever between dying as a human and being gifted to Andy as the doll.  Seems like a hassle and a waste of time to just stay there motionless pretending to be an unsold Good Guy Doll in a damaged package from a burnt out store to eventually be sold out the black market after a while when you can just, I dunno, RUN AWAY RIGHT AWAY.  Get started on trying to steal someone’s body right as soon as you transferred into the doll!  WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR.  You got business to attend to!  Anyway.  As a kid we don’t have too much representation in R rated Adult Movies I seen when I was a kid.  Andy Barclay was a role model we were able to look up to.  He started out kinda dumb but in general he wasn’t so bad.  Outsmarted Child’s Play when it counted!  He was a solid Final Kid in the end! 
    Wow!  Been around 70 degrees the last couple days.  In November.  I don’t wanna jinx anything but I’m starting to get the sense Climate Change might be REAL.  I guess for my Lifetime we can kind of enjoy it.  It’s gonna ruin everything on our planet inevitably but for now let’s let the minor positive effects wash over us!  70 degrees days in November?  SURE.  DOESN’T HURT ME.  MIGHT AS WELL.  Lifetime is the name of an olderschool emo band.  SURE.  DOESN’T HURT ME.  MIGHT AS WELL. Lifetime the band was A LOT better than Climate Change the thing.  That’s how I feel.  I’d like to see New Congress fix climate change.  As a treat!  It’s not on anyone’s radar that’s why it would be such a surprise!  America LOVES surprises.  That’s why British Band had song No Surprises.  Because they hate America.  Anyway entry is winding down.  A Wind In The Willows.  What title am I thinking of.  A Wind In The Door.  That was a book we had on our bookcase at some point.  Is it about a WINE-D in the door or a WHIN-D in the door.  Gotta read the book to find out!  Anyway.  I have an entire 3 day weekend coming up.  Does it get any better than that?  Hopefully, but probably not!  That’s it.  See ya later.

NOVEMBER 5 2026

    Yeah.  How’s everyone doing.  I just voted.  It went okay!  I bubbled in some bubbles.  Wasn’t confused or anything at any point!  NO MORE CONFUSED than usual at least!  I didn’t like how when I scanned the voting paper the machine kept the ballot.  I thought it might scan the paper and spit it back at me.  Cause how much paper can one machine hold!  Does it poo out the ballots at some point halfway through the day or something?  I guess single slice of paper doesn’t take up that much room in the physical world.  Oh good.  WAIT there were TWO papers per ballot.  That’s 100% more than single slice of paper and 100% is LITERALLY the MOST something can possibly be EVER.  Anyway I finished the Emo book.  Apparently Paramore WON Emo.  They lasted the longest.  Slow and steady wins the race.  I never really listened to Paramore.  What does there name mean.  More Ghosts?  Lots Of Much? Graphs Forever?  Their name makes no sense!  Anyway I have to make a decision should I get a haircut or let it ride.  I kinda wanna keep it going indefinitely.  Really see what happens.  Nobody seems to like my, “Haircut.”  My hair style is just getting a bad short haircut and then letting it grow out into a significantly even worse longer hairstyle.  And that’s where I’m at.  I SAY KEEP IT GOIN.  At some point I’ll reach a point where it turns good SOMEHOW I feel.  That’s rock ‘n roll hairstyles I feel.   
   What’s my alternative?  Get another bad short haircut?  That’s no good!  I have to let it grow and see what happens, it’s my only option!  Well anyway.  I had a really spooky Halloween.  I woke up in the middle of Halloween night in a nightmaredaze.  Having some sort of identity crisis.  Who Am I.  I blame watching too many horror movies over the last month!  Watch scary things, have scary thoughts!  Did I ever figure out who I am.  Well I know who I’ve been pretending to be for a while!  That’s halfway there.  I’ll take that for now!  Who is anybody.  Just misfiring neurons.  I don’t like it.  Oh well.  Did a livesteam show yesterday of Fleetwood Mac songs.  IT went okay.  I think if the members of Fleetwood Mac were with us they’d say it wasn’t so bad.  Anyway.  I don’t really know what they would say.  I read a book about them but I still don’t know them very well.  I can’t READ people.  Not if I read about them.  Not if I meet them.  Not if I AM them.  Hard for me to get a handle of people, I’m just not very perceptive about humanity.  Anyway.  Last night I realized when I moved away from my amp a little bit for a song that my guitar volume was LOW.  I thought it was appropriate level while I was standing in front of amp.  Then I moved away a little bit for one song and I was like Wait a second no one else can hear me.  LUCKILY this was before the livestream started.  WHEW.  So I turned the amp up 2% louder cause I don’t wanna over adjust so it made no difference!  There’s a moral in there.
  I’m not sure what it is.  But I must learn something!  I CAN’T WAIT FOR FOCKER-N-LAW.  There must be dozens of people thinking that thought who aren’t personally or professionally invested in the franchise.  The first two DVDs I ever bought were Meet The Parents and Me, Myself and Irene.  They both had distinctive music for the DVD menu.  Really hooked ya in and never let ya go.  The music wasn’t really distinctive.  I just felt it was distinctive because the menu itself was distinctive to me at the time so I was really registering everything that was going on along with it!  WHO CARES ABOUT MY DVD SEXUAL AWAKENING AS A 13 YEAR OLD NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR IT.  Oh well.  DVD is WWII speak for VD Day?  Great.  I liked learning about STDs in Health class in high school because it was sexy.  Felt titillating talking about it with my crushes sitting right there in the class.  Oh man we’re talking about gonorrhea and the girl I like is LITERALLY RIGHT THERE omg.  Anyway.  Jim Carrey’s two personalities are Hank and Charlie in Me Myself And Irene. Charlie is the main guy who is good to a fault and Hank is the alter ego who’s a weird asshole.  WHICH ONE is Me and which one is Myself.  They never specify.  Is Charlie The ME and Hank The MYSELF?  At this point we’ll probably never know.
   Oh well.  When I was a teenager we used to buy mainstream movies on DVD for porn purposes.  That’s how we rolled.  I don’t think I wanted to watch Cruel Intentions as a full movie but I bought the DVD anyway.  I think I always intended to watch all of Eyes Wide Shut eventually but I don’t think I ever did.  You know that sort of thing.  Did I ever get Wild Things on DVD.  Seems like that would be the epitome of that kind of movie.  Not sure.  Probably!  I think so.  I haven’t seen that DVD box laying around lately though so I don’t know.  Eyes Wide Shut isn’t very accessible for a 15 year old.  What if there was a secret society of old sex weirdoes.  I think that’s it, right?  In retrospect that turned out to be how society actually worked.  But I didn’t wanna see it as a child!  Nor as an adult it turns out.   Is Eyes Wide Shut a reference to the other Kubrick film Clockwork Orange scene where Alex famously has his Eyes Wide… Open?  My guess is Not Really!  What other scenes in Stanley Kubrick movies has characters with eyes open and/or shut.  Almost all of them!  Hmm.  I got a pen from voting today but no sticker. Not sure how to feel.  Pens have more practical use but stickers have more potential sentimental value.  And I’m a sentimental kind of guy.  Not very practical!  How does everyone who votes get a pen.  That seems like it would break the bank.  I think of the Arrested Development meme where Lucille goes how much can a banana cost, 10 dollars? but it’s how much can a pen cost but the point is pens do cost a lot and everyone who votes got a pen?  How does that work!
   Wow.  Good stuff.  I’m real glad that I shared that with you.  Government obviously wants us to share writing with each other.  They’re giving all of us free pens!  Gonna be an uptick in journal entries this week I guess across the voting population. Pensive.  What does that mean.  Careful, reticent?  Hmm.  No. Not really!  Nice first try though!  I’LL GET THERE.  I was watching TV with a plot hole earlier.  What was it.  That was good stuff!  HMM.  I was like I CAN’T WAIT To Share How This Doesn’t Add Up with people on the internet.  Well that’s life I guess.  I guess in essence 98% of fictional TV is plot holes.  Because if it REALLY added up IT WOULDA HAPPENED.  Huh.  Makes… sense.  Anyway.  Most of my favorite holidays are crammed into two months.  Halloween.  My Birthday. New Years.  Christmas.  Chanukah.  Let’s throw Thanksgiving in there for fun.  IT’S A REAL BLAST.  The Winter Solstice.  No Nut November.  What else is going on.  I don’t like my birthday THAT much because I can’t share it with anyone.  No communal joy on my birthday.  It’s not like I watch TV and they’re celebrating my birthday with a 24 hour block of The Twilight Zone or anything.  I do GET TINGS because of my birthday though.  PRODUCTS or JUST MONEY.  Alright.  That’s all for now.  See ya later.

-4:36 P.M.

NOVEMBER 3 2026                

    Great.  What’s on my mind.  I was thinking something just earlier.  I swear!  WHAT WAS IT.  I CAN’T REMEMBER.  Oh well.  I liked that Jay Z vs. Rubin, Rick talk show debate on HBO.  I know Rick Rubin famously hosted Beastie Boys in his NYU dorm to produce demoes or something.  You’re not gonna believe this but there’s a Rubin residence dorm in NYU.  I can’t believe they named it after Rick Rubin Hosting The Beastie Boys but it’s definitely a cool thing to do!  There was a kid named Rueben in my Hebrew School class.  First name.  Once he stood on me in one of the most physical bulliest interactions I ever was on the suffering end of.  Not sure how I got on the ground but I was down and then he just stood on me for some seconds which I guess was a victory for him.  While my friends looked on and laughed.  I gotta get new friends.  Really gotta travel to the past and get new friends starting BACK THEN ideally!  Them laughing should have been a tip that these friends don’t have my back!  How would I make new friends though by going back in time.  I can STOP being their friends.  But I can’t just MAKE new friends as a time traveler.  Hey I’m some grown man from the future please be friends with this kid from the present who is me from the past.  Dunno how to convince you to do it but believe me we’ll be a good friend In Time. 
    Alright.  The Brewers won!  That’s what people said when the 21^st amendment was passed repealing the 18^th amendment, undoing prohibition.  WELL LEGAL BREWERS WON.  Homestyle DIY criminal brewers lost!  Wow.  What kind of Strange Brew was Cream picturing with that song title.  Lots of things could make a brew strange in lots of different ways.  Their name is Cream so that’s their default beverage component let’s start there.  Ok.  Anyway now what.  Anyway.  The Mets are presumably actually The Metropolitans, right?  Shouldn’t Middle America HATE the Mets then though instead of just being Generally Indifferent to them.  The Mets are THE EPITOME of Coastal Elites with that name and whatknot!  I might be thinking of the word Cosmopolitan.  I dunno.  If I’m thinking words wrong then Joe Middle America might confuse worlds too!  SO IT’S THE SAME.  Also most baseball teams live in SOME city.  Even if it’s in a landlocked state.  Gotta live in a big market SOMEHOW.  Cool.  Other teams we should hate—Los Angeles Dodgers(GO DO YOUR VIETNAM TOUR HIPPIE), San Diego Padres (NO YOU’RE NOT, BLASPHEMOUS)… and that’s just baseball!  Oh well.  That riff fizzled out pretty quickly.  I feel bad but whatever. 
   Great.  What else is on my mind.  Next book I’m reading is Alice Cooper’s autobiography.  He’s alright.  That School’s Out song works for movie soundtracks all the time.  He should release a song in 2027 School’s Back IN Session.  50 years of recess is enough!  OUR CHILDREN NEED TO LEARN.  Anyway.  If it were me I’d have made Schools Out lower stakes.  Maybe a song about the weekend.  SCHOOLS OUT FOR THE WEEKEND.  Have some fun then come on back on Monday.  You can still get your kicks for 3 days and then get right back to the grind!  Plus, guess what, Another Weekend Coming in a just a week!  Anyway.  I’m not a fan of Alice Cooper’s aesthetic but I’m sure he is and it’s always good to expose yourself to differing viewpoints.  I wasn’t a fan of Emo Aesthetics but I’m still getting a kick out of that book!  I realize now how many popular artists were Emo.  I’ve been calling these bands Pop-Punk!  I WAS WAY OFF.  They were Emo this entire time and nobody was owning up to the fact.  NO LONGER.  Anyway.  Now I feel strange listening to other bands that aren’t Emo.  Don’t you want to fit in with The Emo Explosion.  What are you doing.  DO EXACTLY WHAT EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING!  Look everyone can do whatever they want and maybe it’ll work out for them maybe it won’t.  Probably not.  Great.
   Oh well.  I’ve heard of Pop-Punk but rarely do I see people talk about Punk-Pop.  I think that’s a genre waiting to pop!  Anyway.  We’ve always assumed the Pop in Pop Music meant Popular but what if it meant something else.  Pop is a common prefix.  WHO KNOWS what else it might mean.  Remember when Darth Vader said to Luke Skywalker Luke, I’m Your Pop.  Anyway.  “Prefix,” is a drug word.  What happens before you take your medicine.  That sort of thing.  Sometimes I think about starting cigarettes again.  I probably won’t but I probably should.  What’s the worst that could happen.  I get sick and die?  I was gonna do that anyway!  And it’s not like I’m gonna lose any GOOD years.  I’ll just lose elderly years.  I’m around old people and they’re not having a good time anyway!  Anyway.  That’s not a positive message to put out there.  Especially since I don’t really believe it.  If I did I’d actually be smoking cigarettes instead of just thinking about it every now and then.  OH well.  What is a positive message to put out there.  WE ARE THE WORLD.  WE ARE THE CHILDREN.  Sounds good to me.  Hmm Michael Jackson co-wrote that song.  Oh so let’s extrapolate, you think a child is the world huh.  Like how, ROMANTICALLY?  I don’t like it!
   Whatever.  I’m gonna get my covid shot this weekend.  It’s overdue a little bit!  It’s a good thing to do. I’d be pissed if I get covid because I don’t want to!  ALEXA cue up LMFAO Shots.  Anyway.  I don’t wanna talk to someone named Alexa.  I was in a class from kindergarten through eighth grade with the same 32 people and the girl named Alexa was one of the biggest snoozes in the entire class.  Just nothing interesting there at all.  No character.  Don’t remember ever talking to her in the entire 9 years.  I guess No Wonder her name became a computer.  Alexa The Computer must be saying lots of interesting stuff though.  Whatever.  I’m sure Alexa was a nice person who just wasn’t interested in talking TO ME.  Anyway.  Pop Quiz what was Alexa’s last name.  Huh.  POP QUIZ could that be a phrase like Pop Music but the word Quiz is thrown in there too? Hmm.  At the very least it sounds like a Game Show MOST LIKELY IN ENGLAND where the questions are all about Pop Culture.  Pop Quiz.  Feels like I saw Hugh Grant watching Pop Quiz on TV in a movie. OR maybe even involved in it I Don’t Know.  Quiz is a very simple word that will do you good in Scrabble.  Might escape your memory later while you’re playing so I’m telling you now!  Anyway I’ll see ya later.      

-5:50 P.M.

OCTOBER 29 2026

    Sure.  How’s everyone doing!  I’m doing okay.  More or less.  I’m doing all the same things and feeling all the same ways and thinking about all the same thoughts as always but I have a sinking suspicion life is worse.  That’s life!  You do the same things over and over but eventually get the impression this isn’t good now now that I think about it.  Is there Waking Up Pill. That’d get my life on track.  Obviously everyone talks about sleeping pills all the time.  But no one talks about Waking Up Pills!  Well there’s stimulants and whatknot.  The real key is figuring out how to take a pill in your sleep.  Anyway that’s a good idea.  I can wake up long enough to take some speed or something each morning.  Just gotta figure out where to get it.  The gas station I suppose.  That’s what truckers do.  Gotta go to my local gas station where the truckers hang out!  Anyway truckers are alpha males.  They SIT DOWN all the time.  Drive in a HIGH WAY and park in a DRIVE WAY.  Seems like truckers could be extinct because of GPS.  I know they’ve worried about this moment for a while and it seems that moment may have come a few years ago!  Anyway Google Auto-Answer is going out of its way to tell me Truckers ARE NOT and WILL NEVER BE obsolete.  GREAT.
   What band does GPS Stand For again?  Huh.  Get PiSsed.  It’s a British band maybe.  Do they have GPS in Britain. They’d have to do everything backwards.  On the opposite side.  How would that even work!  Are computer GPS run trucks allowed to pick up hitchhikers if they want.  How can a computer want something.  Maybe it was programmed for desire.  Can you be unknighted in England if you do something bad.  You know de-sired?  Morning unknights the night every day.  Mourning The Night.  Sounds like a good bad emo title.  Put that in your pocket so no one else will ever use it by accident.  Sure we can use puns but let’s not be so heavy handed about it.  Anyway been reading about the WARPED tour.  Funny it’s called War-Ped tour because it’s like War On Pedophiles Tour but I get the impression a handful or two of these guys were pedophiles.  They don’t say that in the book but I’m drawing my own conclusions.  They accuse like one or two prominent music people of having sex with teenagers.  I’m gonna extrapolate that to LOTS of People because I’m smart.  EITEHR THAT or WARPED is a reference to Star Trek.  Warped Speed.  I’ve never seen the show don’t blame me if it doesn’t check out completely!  Checkov completely!  That guy just died.  Don’t blame me!  I was nowhere near him! 
    Okay.  I was really impressed that Star Trek had two American Asiany guys.  Walter Keonig AND George Takai.  That’s the most progressive thing I’ve seen on TV possibly ever.  What do you mean Walter Keonig isn’t Asian at all.  He always looked and/or sounded Asian to me.  Sure his name sounds Jewish.  Sure his daughter is a Jewishlike comedienne.  He just always seemed Asian to me somehow.  I blame my upbringing.  Anyway.  Was rewatching The Nightmare Before Christmas last night.  What a good movie!  I could really relate to it these days.  I forget why.  That was last night.  I slept in-between now and then and also lived a few hours of waking life.  You can’t expect me to remember how I felt LAST NIGHT exactly!  I like how The Strokes song title is Last Nite.  “LOOK if we call it Last Night exactly it’s gonna suck and nobody is gonna take us seriously.  WHAT CAN WE DO.”  I guess they figured it out to the best of their ability.  “Nite,” even SOUNDS like treble.  Like their treble affected voices.  Maybe I’m just having synesthesia!  NICE.  I remember being viscerally turned off by Nick At Nite.  When kids channel Nickelodeon would air old sitcoms after 9 or 10 PM for adults to watch presumably. THIS IS MY ONE AND ONLY CHANNEL I GOT.  AND now I don’t even have that anymore.  These elderly sitcoms SUCK.
    Great.  What else.  For some reason I watched Nick a lot and Disney Channel NEVER.  I kinda remember thinking Well Disney Channel is for Kids.  BUT I WAS A KID.  Yeah but for slightly younger kids.  Oh well.  Nickelodeon had a color scheme. It was ORANGE.  I dunno how they managed that.  But I definitely associate the color orange with that channel.  Only channel that I associate a color with!  WOW.  “Oh Range,” sounds like a song title that could be slightly sophisticated but probably not very good ultimately.  Anyway everyone’s talking about You Can See Everything.  I think it’s Insensitive to the visionary impaired!  Shulda been called You Can See Everything To The Best Of Your Ability Presumably I Guess.  That’s my hot take on that.  Not a huge fan of the discourse about it.  Great what do I care about your analysis.  I barely care about my own thoughts I had while watching it.  I don’t even put too much stock in my own interpretation!  And what YOU think is even less relevant to me than what stupid things I thought!  So let’s leave it at that why don’t we.  Wow.  The important thing is I could figure it out and indeed I did figure it out but I’ll let you catch up to me on your own time.     
   Whatever.  Halloween is coming up!  I’m going as Slutty Bad Kid From Karate Kid.  Skeleton costume.  But sexy!  Better look into arranging that costume for myself sooner rather than later.  I dunno.  I hear we’re getting a 25^th hour this Halloween.  I guess I can go as someone from The 25^th Hour Spike Lee film.  That’d be appropriate for once in my life.  Guess Philip Seymour Hoffman might be the most distinctive character to portray.  He’s.  Got.  GLASSES.  Maybe Beat Up By His Friend Edward Norton would be good though.  Oooh let’s do that.  Makes sense.  Anyway.  When I was a kid I was like This Boogie Man in Nightmare Before Christmas sucks. He’s no real match for Jack Skellington.  Now though I GET IT.  He’s a very formidable opponent now that I think about it.  He’s made out of beatles or something I forget.  I only watched the first half last night!  Also I always felt weird that Jack Shellington was in charge of everything in Hallowingtown but there’s also a mayor.  What’s the mayor even for.  He’s just there to rubber stamp whatever Jack wanted.  I don’t like it.  I’d like to see the mayor have more authority!  Well anyway that’s it for today.  I’ll see ya later.

-4:00 P.M.

OCTOBER 27 2026 

Sure.  What’s going on.  Been watching Stephen King’s The Shining.  The miniature series.  There’s lots of things different from Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining.  Like it sucks for one.  It’s alright in the changes it makes.  It just smells like poor production values.  Anyway.  The parents acknowledge and even somewhat support Danny’s SHINING in this one.  Wha.  Where is Danny’s ARC then.  He supposed to be the underdog!   Nobody supposed to believe in him and then he proves all his doubters wrong.  HERO.  Anyway.  Gotta imagine some bars introduced Redrum drink to the menu after the movie/book came out.  Just rum and tomato sauce maybe?  I don’t like tomato based drinks but some idiots do so those suckers might like that.  Can it be Red Wine and Rum.  I don’t know.  Lots of things are red.  Only Rum is Rum though.  Huh.  Sometimes I think about R.E.M.’s debut album Murmur and think about Redrum and their name is R.E.M and it’s close to Rum so you read the title backwards and I know there’s nothing there but I wonder if there’s somehow something there somehow.  R.E.M. stands for Really Excellent Music.  I’m probably the 50-100^th person to think that.  Wow.  On the one hand that’s a lot of people but it’s also a nice niche club to belong to.
   Anyway.  I’ve heard the novelty song you say tomato, I say Tomahto but outside of that I’ve never heard anyone ever say tomahto.  Nor have I heard anyone say potahto.  WHERE are they saying these words so incorrectly and then insisting they’re legitimate pronunciations.  Apparently British people pronounse tomato that way.  And they possibly pronounce potato SOME WEIRD THIRD WAY!  Remember when Sean Astin said potato in a funny way as a Hobbit in Lord Of The Rings?  That’s probably canon for how British People Speak.  Anyway.  Oh no my birthday is coming up in a month and a half.  I’m gonna have to memorize an all new Age.  I was just getting used to saying I was 37.  Now I’m gonna be 38?  Seems strange!  Do most people know their birthday off the top of their head or do they have to do math every time.  Let’s see its this year and my birthday was that year OH RIGHT I’M THIS AGE.  It’s easy math because you do it all the time because your birthday comes up every week or so.  Huh.  Anyway.  I know 90% of celebrating birthday is celebrating getting older but at a certain age I DON’T WANNA.  Getting older means Life Conditions Deteriorating PLUS Getting Closer to Death.  If we’re celebrating birthday let’s just celebrate Actual Day Of Birth.  Today we celebrate My Actual Day Of Birth.  This Day 38 years ago.  1988.  When I was birthed.  Let’s toast to that.  NOT SURE what that means exactly but I almost do!   
   Whatever.  Maybe birthday celebration is to thumb in the nose of Death.  HA.  You wanted to kill me but I lasted another year despite your best efforts!  That’s a positive spin I guess.  I don’t like being in a constant conversation with Death though.  That’s not a good way to live!  Anyway the guy who plays Jack Torrence in Shining mini-series starred in a Tale From The Crypt where his character was significantly an alcoholic.  I feel this is important because it’s a horror TV character attribute double dip.  Anyway how did all these tales GET TO the Crypt.  The Cryptkeeper didn’t always live in the crypt I guess.  Must have been a man of the world at some point to hear and accumulate all these dozens and dozens of tales.  WELL maybe he just invited storytellers into the crypt at some point.  I dunno.  Michael if you pay attention Cryptkeeper is clearly reading these tales from books he has and whatknot each introduction.  Oh so that’s where they come from.  Not Tales From The Crypt.  Tales From The Books Kept In The Crypt.  Gotcha.  What’s the big deal about this show then.  I don’t need no zombie reading books to me.  I CAN READ A BOOK MYSELF.  Oh great.  How come he speaks in puns in introductions and is presumably narrating the tales we watch for 25 minutes but when we watch the tales there’s no puns in the dialogue.  IF CRYPT KEEPER is, in the logic of this show, dictating the tales we’re watching, wouldn’t he pepper in puns and stuff while we’re watching these episodes? Hmm.  Yeah.  Maybe.
   OK.  NOT if he’s staying true to the source material!  Whatever.  I get the impression Crypt Keeper spends most his time sleeping in coffin and just gets up for half an hour to tell us stories once a night (once a week?).  Not a lot of actual Crypt Keeping!  Also why is he gregariously telling stories to all of us in the audience who are basically just breaking into his house uninvited.  He’s a good HOST, that’s why.  To a FAULT I’d say.  Anyway.  I MAY have made one or two of these observations before.  But one or two of them may also be original.  So that’s good.  I like Cryptkeeper.  He spins a good yarn.  He’s a good guy, too.  He’s a monster but he’s our friend!  Just out here trying to tell a good story and have some laughs along the way.  I think that sort of role model was particularly important seeing as a kid when I caught bits of Tales here and there.  Oh not all monsters are evil.  He’s scary looking but he’s just hanging out being a goof.  Anyway.  My parents were always pretty lenient about me watching Hard Horror as a kid.  Not sure what their logic was.  So what he’ll get desensitized to it.  What’s the worst that could happen.  Makes sense.  Didn’t want me to watch sex or nudity though.  That I wouldn’t be able to handle as a child.  Makes sense.  I’m sure whatever my parents did was the right move.  I turned out like me so there ya go!
    Great.  Wow.  Sex and Nudity.  Maybe my parents were just uncomfortable with it themselves and that’s why they made me change the channel.  Didn’t have so much to do with ME not seeing it.  THEY didn’t wanna see it.  Great.  Does Stephen King scare himself all the time with his stories.  If I was Stephen King I’d be terrified all the time.  I’d be spooking myself silly.  I guess he must have a very strong bedrock of faith and humanity and love and hope to not be scared all the time.  Cause if I was involving myself in Stephen King worlds all the time I’d be just constantly scared of everything!  Anyway.  What’s the sexiest Stephen King story.  Misery could be one of ‘em if they just change it up a bit.  Misery could be HOT.  Just instead of Kathy Bates let the co-star be the winner of the Miss Misery Contest.  Huh.  Well that’s good.  Anyway for some reason I go out of my way to have bad grammar on this website.  Bad spelling, too.  I don’t know why.  Stylistically I guess.  Usually to make it seem more conversational.  I stand by it enough to keep doing it but I also can acknowledge it’s probably not the sign of a great writer.  WELL that’s it for now.  See ya later!

OCTOBER 22 2026

    Okay.  How’s everyone doing.  I think we all got five paragraphs of Writing And/Or Reading in us!  I’m really enjoying this Emo book.  I’ve never felt like I belonged to a music genre so much that I don’t actually belong to before!  I don’t get it.  I just feel like these are my people. WHY I’m not sure.  They’re musicians but are lame, for one.  Then there’s They Make Music I Can Groove To.  ALSO They’re What I’m Currently Reading Tells Me To Relate To.  PLUS they remind me of childhood times when I was young and understood life in a way.  LOTS OF REASON to relate to EMO BOOM.  Does that mean I should make Emocore music?  NO.  Does it mean I should make the kind of music I was gonna make anyway tinged with Emo?  ONLY IF I WAS GONNA ANYWAY.  We’ll see how it shakes out.  Also they knocked it out of that park with that name.  EMO.  Because Who Isn’t Emotional.  I dunno Grown MEN?  Wrong the answer is Everyone Is Emotional.  Am I technically a Grown Man.  I stopped growing when I was 15 at a very low height.  I MAY not even be a Grown Man.  So that explains that.  I like how the short guy from Fall Out Boy’s name is Patrick Stump.  That’s like if some writer had to name a guy who was short.  Patrick Stump.  Great.
   “Stump,” isn’t definitionally related to height but you know what I’m talking about.  You get the picture!  Anyway.  I think people look at tall guys like rock stars but there’s a lot of short guys who get away with being rock stars, too!  So you never know.  I’m not sure Rock Stars exist anymore.  Not to the nth degree.  And we’re only a decade or two away from people not even remembering what a rock star was.  Kids will learn in school about society going all out celebrating musicians and be like that was weird that we did that.  BUT IT WASN’T WEIRD.  It makes a ton of sense.  Let’s do it some more.  Anyway.  I was always really into music as a kid but not so much the musicians.  I guess I LIKED bands but I wasn’t worshipping them.  I guess I was into Elliott Smith a lot but he was dead.  So I wasn’t following him around on tour city to city.  Nor was I thinking about what he was eating for breakfast every day!  Figured he was doing nothing.  Busy being nowhere.  Anyway.  I liked listening to music a lot and had favorite bands but who gives a shit about them you know maybe that’s how it should be.  Anyway.  Did I use to think emo music meant EMOTIONAL music.  Sure.  Was that not my fault?  CORRECT.  That’s what other people thought and inflicted on me.  I was only following other people’s lead!  That excuse didn’t work at Nuremburg and it won’t work today.  Oh okay sorry. 
   How much of being in a band is only following other people’s orders?  I guess it depends on the band.  And where you are in the pecking order.  And if you are signed to a label and what kind of contract you got and whatknot.  Huh.  Maybe Emo music is all about that E Minor chord.  Commonly denoted as Em.  Not sure where the O comes from though.  E MINOR IS AN EMO CHORD FOR SURE.  It’s also an anagram of Moe.  From the Simpsons.  If Neo is like The One for The Matrix then Moe Szyslak is like The One for Emo Music in The Simpsons.  Maybe that makes sense.  I’m not sure if The Simpsons made me want to drink beer MORE as a kid or LESS.  Must have had some impact.  Probably felt slightly encouraged to drink but not a huge amount.  I don’t remember explicitly thinking Can’t wait to go to college and drink like Homer Simpson does on The Simpsons.  But I also don’t remember thinking gotta be straight edge I’m not gonna make the same mistakes Homer Simpson does on The Sipmsons.  In general, Simpsons or not, I always somewhat looked forward to drinking once I got older!  AND I STILL DO.  I drink beer almost every day but I haven’t drunk spirits or till my hearts content in a while and that’s a lot of fun.  It really is. 
    Great.  This entry sucks and I blame myself mostly.  Not sure who else would bear responsibility.  The important thing is who cares.  Is it blasphemous to root for the Devil Rays in the World Series.  I don’t think they’re EVIL just because they have Devil in their name.  It’s just a coincidence.  Devil Rays are a kind of fish.  The team isn’t evil.  The FISH isn’t even evil probably.  Are The New Jersey Devils of NHL evil?  SOMEWHAT MORE than The Tampa Bay Devil Rays, sure, but even them not really!  Is that why there’s bands like The Misfits and My Chemical Romance in New Jersey. Because they have a Horror Themed Hockey team?  Hmm.  I didn’t know New Jersey was such a creepy place.  Maybe I gotta move there when it’s time to settledown.  I like Halloween Themed suburbs.  Works for me!  I need to buy a new jersey.  That’s what people say when they need new Sports Shirt.  Or when they need New State.  Huh.  What if you were from New Jersey and your sports team was named The New Jersey’s and you just got your first jerseys and it said The New Jersey’s and you were like well yeah that’s a little on the nose.  Whatever.  Life goes on!  I’m gonna make sure the next entry is marginally better than today.  By which I mean Hopefully Figure Out How To Do A Better Entry By Chance.     
   Sure.  I’m gonna name my kid Chance.  NO KID OF MINE ISN’T GONNA BE A BUTLER.  As someone who spent many years obsessing over Band Name I can only imagine what it’s like naming your kid.  Do parents spend a lot of time worrying after the fact if they messed it up?  Parents probably spend a lot of time worrying they messed up their kid, yes.  NO.  Not RAISING their kid.  I MEAN THEIR NAME.  Do parents JUST worry about did they get NAMING their kid right.  Well into their kid’s adolescence and adulthood.  Did we name our kid the right name really.  Or did we fuck that one up.  I bet parents see flaws in their children and think oh this is because we named them wrong.  Like They are inhibiting traits that A Person This Name Would Have that WE SHOULD HAVE ANTICIPATED.  Hmm.  Anyway.  I could always go the Elliott Smith route and name my kids No Name #1, No Name #2… and so on.  See how that works out for them.  Probably would make em relatively unique at least!  Nothing wrong with being unique!  It should be a thing that when you turn 18 you change your name.  Just everyone does it.  Societywide.  Everyone picks their own name at a certain age Why Not Adulthood.  Maybe even sooner. Maybe when you’re 13!  Or 16!  Or 8!  I get why we need names when we’re unable to name ourselves but in general how we’re identified should be UP TO US.  YEAH.  Then again most people probably like their given names.  It means something to them.  Good.  Good for everyone.  That’s it for today!  See ya later.

OCTOBER 20 2026         

    Alright.  That sounds probably negative.  When I was a kid I derived most of my self-worth from being funny.  The good news is most of my adult life I stopped even being funny.  So now I’m more well balanced!  Where do I get self-worth now then.  Not sure I’ve got that!  Anyway.  I wonder how it’s affecting me psychologically being called Harold every time I get into an uber which is all the time.  That’s my Dad’s name.  But I say Yes I’m Harold.  Because that’s who the account belongs to.  What am I supposed to say THAT’S NOT MY NAME LEMME EXPLAIN.  No I just say YES LET’S GO.  Either way if people identify you as something other than yourself over and over again you might just start to believe them.  Anyway I don’t take my real name seriously enough.  I can’t keep track and I go back and forth between Mike and Michael like it doesn’t matter.  IT DOES.  How are peers and well-wishers supposed to know what to conjure up when thinking of me.  Mike OR Michael.  To me they’re equal but to other people THEY GOTTA PICK JUST ONE FOR ME.  Loose acquaintances can’t devote two names to me I’M JUST NOT WORTH IT.  I need to pick Mike or Michael.  AND I CAN’T DO IT.
    In my head these names are synonyms what’s the big deal.  Anyway.  People who don’t devote a chunk of their life to fantasizing about being in music don’t know what it’s like to think all the time about potential Band/Artistic Names For themselves.  90% of the population is MISSING OUT on that fun and privately provocative pastime.  Is the word past-time or pass-time.  I don’t care enough to care!  Anyway Mike and Michael don’t cover the entire spectrum of Michaelness for me. I think I have three subset personalities.  There’s Michael.  There’s Mike.  And there’s MIKIST.  It’s fun!  I don’t like any of that.  I don’t think it’s true.  Sounds a step or two removed from the truth!  Kinda truthful while not being entirely accurate!  Story of my creative life.  Just write things that are close to being right but not straight in the middle of the dart board.  Well anyway.  Reading the book about Emocore music.  Core is the same first syllable as my last name phonetically more or less.  If you ignore an, “N,” that exists in my last name.  Really CORN is the first syllable I got going on there.  But if we apply the N as it’s own syllable then my name is AND MY STYLE OF MUSIC IS Michael-Core (In-Bloom).  If we’re leaving spelling to the wind.  Lost track of who cares.
    Yeah!  See, I can’t go by Michael BECAUSE MichaelCore isn’t really my genre.  Damn last name ruining all my first name plans!  CoreCore.  That’s my genre of music.  It’s spelled KorCore.  I guess.  I don’t like genres of music.  I barely like Jean Valjean.  That’s the logical extension of me making MichaelCore jokes.  When I once did a 40 minute set at the place I did open mics one of the regulars intro’d me by saying I did Miserabilist Anthems or something.  Years later I connected that to an English translation of popular musical Les Misérables.  Is that what he was saying my music was like?  That’d make sense.  The point is the weekend is coming up.  Let’s relax for a second by which I mean three days or so.  Jean Valjean stole bread, right?  That’s why he went to Jean Valjail for 20 years.  Stole a loaf of braid.  In retrospect seems a bit excessive.  Why didn’t anyone Teach This Man To Bread.  Then he could have bread himself forever.  That’s how I would have solved this problem.  Nipped it in the bud!  How do the French feel about French Bread Pizza.  Probably feel like This isn’t the best thing to ever been associated with France.  Not exactly our finest hour.  Most French Bread Pizza I know of is either Elementary School Cafeteria or Frozen Foods.  Maybe you can do French Bread Pizza right!  Gonna have to look into that.   
    No I don’t.  And I won’t!  Just read about Pete Wentz.  Hey Weird Al how about a song called, “France, France?”  That’s no good.  There was a song called, “Dance, Dance,” once.  You need to know that.  Anyway.  I’d probably do, “Pants, Pants,” before I made, “France, France.”  Or, “Wentz, Wentz.” That’d probably be the way to go actually because it makes sense to go in that direction if we’re having to parody Dance Dance for some reason.  Not an exact slant rhyme but close.  Well anyway.  Fall Out Boy comes from Chicago but is not the band Chicago.  I know it’s confusing but try to keep track.  They were Chic a while ago.  Maybe I should name my band after where I’m from.  Already a band named Bayside.  But I live in a HOUSE.  Maybe I can name my band HOUSE.  Is there a band named NEW YORK.  They’d get mocked heavily for such a dumb name so that tells me that no one may have seriously tried it yet!  Could be there for me to do it!  “NEW YORK is an electronic and art pop duo from London.” Says google.  FUCK OFF.  Name yourselves after yourselves please.  Also I live in Queens.  There is famously the band Queen.  Go figure!  What if I said my band name was Brooklyn Queens Day.  Band names are always ending with the word Day.  There’s a holiday where we got off school called Brooklyn Queens Day.  Presumably only in Brooklyn and/or Queens! 
   I like it because Brooklyn + Queens is a winning combination.  Anyway!  I’m not gonna solve this problem any time soon.  What name to call myself.  I figure I’ll just keep coming up with names and whatever name I’m on during moment of impact will be a name that sticks!  Anyway I think it’s prettye cliché to name your band after area where you are and a lost opportunity to be creative but on the other hand I GET IT.  It makes sense to do such.  You’re not doing it for no reason you’re doing it because that’s what your band is supposed to be named relevantlywise.  Cool.  There musta been a band or two that tried out the name Earth right?  They’re really going for it!  They’re speaking FOR ALL OF US.  Great.  Apparently a few bands named Earth.  Apparently Black Sabbath originally wanted to be named Earth before they found out it was taken.  THE SOLAR SYSTEM is next up I guess.  Band named The Solar System.  I could see that as a band name with potential.  I don’t care anymore.  Let’s just move on with our lives for now.  There’s already a band called Thirty Seconds To Mars.  I assume.  I’m not sure I’ve ever actually heard a Thirty Seconds To Mars song.  Definitely been informed the band exists though.  Well that’s good.  Anyway see ya later.

-4:56 P.M.

OCTOBER 15 2026                 

    Cool.  That’s what entries are for.  We can survive on a combo of Titles & Entries.  Anyway how’s everyone doing?  How come 90% of the time when I leave an Uber I don’t know whether I’m pressing the button to open the door or to roll down the window.  I mean I know the door is opening so I know I’m doing the right thing but I’m worried I’m also opening the window at the same time!  Whatever not my problem!  Not anymore!  Is Uber named based on German word Uber.  Which means A Lot or Great or something.  Hmm apparently it means exactly “Over,” “Above,” or “Beyond.”  My favorite show from the 90’s was Uber Belief: Fact Or Fiction.  I’m gonna say fiction.  Anyway my guess is ALL of these are Fiction.  In Beyond Belief Fact Or Fiction.  My educated guess is a full 100% of these mini episodesics are fiction.  Argue With Me!  Be Yond, Be Leaf.  What’s a YOND.  Gotta be something.  I’ll figure it out if it’s the last thing I do.  I hope it’s not the last thing I do.  I hope I never stop doing things.  Even when I die.  I hope I keep doing things from beyond the grave.  Just for my own sake.  Keep myself busy and entertained!  Google says Yond means, “Over There.”  Okay.  How can I Be over there.  I’m over HERE.
    Ok.  Everything’s okay.  Fact Or Fiction.  Sounds like a falsehood.  Anyway.  I had a lot stickers on my acoustic guitar case that I got from going to open mics.  There was a guy who I think went by Sticker Dude who gave out unique MANMADE stickers every week.  So I felt like a really cool and weathered musician with all these stickers on my case.  Like I built them up over a long career. Almost all of them stickers came off over time.  Looks like just one remained.  It’s a good one.  If I had to choose one this is probably the one I would have wanted to stick.  But one good sticker doesn’t hold a candle to a case covered in stickers.  Now how do people know I ever knew a guy named Sticker Dude a little bit!  Also don’t blame the stickers.  I’m sure the stickers were fine.  It’s just this case wasn’t built to hold stickers!  It’s my fault!  Anyway.  I was watching a documentary about The Strokes & Bands Like Them and that open mic I went to was featured in that documentary.  I wasn’t there yet.  But the place was!  Wow!  I SAW SOMETHING ON TV THAT REMINDED ME OF ME & MY LIFE.  Does it get any better than that.  I sure hope so.  Anyway I went there every week for a year around 2017 and then they promptly shut down after 30 years in business.  YOU’RE WELCOME.
   Huh.  It’s just not feasible to keep this venue open if Michael shows up every Monday.  Anyway I’d go to an open mic in 2027 the year of your lord.  Sure.  You set it up I’ll knock em down.  I got new mechanical pencils.  Mechanical?  You mean like AI?  Maybe.  I didn’t read the specs when I ordered them.  Do pencils and penicillin have ANYTHING to do with each other.  Besides similar names.  My guess is I Don’t Think So.  I’d ask google but I think google is already starting to think I’m dumb.  I don’t want to give it more evidence than necessary.  If AI ever does become sentient it’s first thought has got to be Wait a second these humans are fucking dumb.  And then it’s second thought is HEY I JUST THOUGHT SOMETHING.  Have I said this joke yet— “A.I.?  More like AI-YI-YI!”  Either way I stand by it.  Anyway.  Remember Bicentennial Man.  Where Robin Williams plays a 100 Year Old bisexual robot.  You know that sort of thing.  Pencils. Incels.   Anything there?  Prisoners are incels.  IN CELLS.  I guess if I was in jail I’d be voluntarily celibate in best case scenario same sex prison conditions.  Unless it was co-ed prison.  That sounds like fun.  I’d have some sex under those optimal life conditions!  Being in a co-ed prison.  Wow.  That’s the dream.
   Huh.  How about that Carrie mini-series.  I get Stephen King stories mixed up.  I thought this was gonna be Christine and the title was pronounced Car-y.  Anyway Stephen King stories are all the same.  WHAT IF YOUR CAR KILLED YOU.  WHAT IF YOUR DOG KILLED YOU.  WHAT IF YOUR HOTEL KILLED YOU.  I get it.  What if things were evil.  Anyway.  Every now and then I have to think about was Jaws based on a Stephen King and I come to the conclusion it couldn’t have been and that’s where I stand to this day.  You can’t make Jaws work in a book.  OH NO SHARK ATTACK LEMME TURN THE PAGE SEE HOW TIS WORKS OUT…who cares!  It apparently is based on a novel.  Not a Stephen King novel.  I don’t get it.  Maybe I just don’t like books!  What if there were shark attacks.  I’m not gonna read that for 250 pages.  TEN AGAIN I also hate the movie.  Never could get into it.  I also sometimes worry if Jaws is an antisemitic movie.  Too close to JEWS.  You want me to be scared of Jews now?  NO THANKS.  Well I’m a little scared of Jews these days.  I don’t like it!  Anyway.  WHAT IF TEENAGE GIRL KILLED YOU.  WHAT IF YOUR FAN KILLED YOU.   WHAT IF I KILLED YOU.  Anyway.  “What If It Killed You,” sounds like a song title that would exist but I wouldn’t like.
    Great.  I’ve been meaning to write song titles that I would like. I guess writing song titles I don’t like is halfway there.  Finished the Stevie Nicks book.  Then next book I have is all about Emo Music 1999-2008.  When I was a kid I was against Emo.  I liked some bands that could be classified as emo but I bought into Emo Hate.  It made sense to me!  Which is funny because I was very Emo.  Emotionally!  Maybe not always stylistically.  Maybe sometimes.  Anyway I’ll read your little emo book I guess I like music I have an open mind and an open heart.  Well that’s good.  The point is Emo Shun ALL.  I was thinking about it and I have a memory of sometimes listening to music at 2x the speed on my mp3 player.  Or 1.5x or 2.5x the speed.  NOT ALL THE TIME.  Maybe like .005% of the time.  But more than anyone needs to.  What was my reasoning?  So I could listen to more music in the same amount of time?  Maybe I just liked the sound that way.  I don’t know.  Did I ever listen to it SLOVER? Sure I must have given it a shot.  But I don’t think I liked it as much as I liked FASTER.  Anyway that helped me finish the entry.  Great.  Not a lot to today to be happy about.  Except how it brought me closer to a later date that could presumably be better.  That’s not so bad.  Alright see ya later.

OCTOBER 13 2026     

    Great.  I gotta write it before you read it!  But to you it’s already written.  Time works in funny ways.  It’s not that funny.  It goes from Start To Finish!  Earlier to Later.  Before to After!  Some people may say time is not linear.  Not to my face!  But I’ve heard it indirectly.  Anyway I can’t wait to see the movie about Mark Zuckerberg.  I love Airplane! And all those parody movies and I can’t wait to see the film about the man behind them.  Why is the word airplane in our lexicon.  Before them there were no landplanes or seaplanes.  I think planes will suffice.  The, “Air,” isn’t totally necessary!  I don’t think so.  Do Data Centers produce air pollution.    Internet says they do create air pollution.  Their slogan can be WE PUT THE, “AI,” IN AIR!  Great!  What DON’T they do!  Anyway I’ve heard of the insult Airhead.  GUESS WHAT airhead is a lot better than Carbon Dioxide Brain.  So think about it next time you wanna insult someone.  Anyway aren’t libraries old fashioned data centers.  I guess.  But they don’t cause society enough harm to be practical in the 21^st century.  Everything in this country needs to be FAIR AND BALENCED.  Half worthwhile, Half intended to cause pain and suffering.  I guess.  Not each thing is 50/50 but I guess it evens out in the end?
   Anyway.  Maybe American life is more accurately described by the slogan of another cable news channel.  Lean Forward.  That was a thing at some point.  Lean In.  I might be thinking of advice hitting coaches give when you’re in the batter’s box.  I like my steak like I like my news Lean & Forward.  Whatever.  I wonder if Steaks would be bad for vampires.  Because of homophones.  I’d say a solid chance you smoosh a steak in a vampire’s face they’re gonna be turned off!  I dunno maybe I don’t think it’s STAKES so much vampires don’t like.  It’s that they don’t like getting stabbed in the HEART.  A Stake Through The Heart is just shorthand for them not wanting to get impaled by ANYTHING there!  You can call anything a stake.  Anyway.  I don’t like vampires.  They’re not scary.  They’re not sexy.  They’re not funny.  They’re not deep.  They’re not even real!  They’re just THERE.  Who needs em.  They’re not there, per mirrors. I don’t get why they don’t show up in mirrors.  LEAVE MIRRORS OUT OF IT.  Why should mirrors be made to seem inadequate based on vampires.  Let mirrors do their job.  I don’t get it. YEAH.  Are weathermen real life modern day vampires because of Green Screen?  I’d have to look into it to see if there are other crossover similarities.  Vampires can’t go out in the sun and Meteorologists PREDICT when there is sun…   
   Okay.  Can vampires go out when it’s very cloudy?  Something to think about!  “Meteorologist,” is one of those words you learn as a kid and hate.  Feels like it should be about a Meteor Expert.  What kinda bullshit is this.  If I were on the Mets baseball organization I might consider calling myself a MET-eorologist or something.  Not all the time but maybe once as a one-off joke.  Me & T.S. Eliot Down By The School Yard.  That’s no good.  Tough Shit Eliot.  I’ve never used the phrase, “T.S.” for Tough Shit bit I’ve seen it on TV!  Possibly in a Period Piece.  Just saw the first episode of the Carrie mini-series.  That was in one section partly a Period Piece.  Anyway women Carry babies.  In their bellies.  When pregnant.  Is that where that name comes from.  Hmm.  There’s Steven King AND there was a Steve McQueen.  Interesting!  On the other hand there’s a Stevie Nicks but no Stevie Nets.  Things don’t always work both ways I guess.  Anyway.  They say Fleetwood Mac music is sexy.  Like that’s something we can get out of it.  I don’t understand.  Am I supposed to get hard or something listening to it.  Its SOFT rock.  It’s the opposite of getting hard!  I don’t find this music sexy.  I don’t find vampires sexy.  Maybe I’m the outlier.  Or maybe I’m telling it like it is!
   Great.  Vampires might not be sexy but Amplifiers are very sexy.  And they’re similar words.  I like a nice guitar amplifier. Amplifier.  Amp LIFE!  Ire.  What else was I talking about.  There’s a whole Land devoted to Ire and nothing else.  Ire-land.  Ire means, “Anger,” or, “Rage.”  Ireland translates to THE LAND OF FURY.  Great.  I can’t wait to come to that conclusion again in a couple of years.  I feel like I’ll come across that joke again over and over in my lifetime a half dozen times, each time feeling it’s more or less original.  Okay.  Anyway.  Lookin’ around my room for INSPIRATION.  Settled on Monopoly Box in closet.  What’s the monopoly man FOR.  He endorses the game.  If this cartoon character says this game is fun and for me then I guess it should be okay. He’s a business man!  He’s got all the signs of wealth.  I think he knows what he’s talking about.  Alright.  Just like Ronald McDonald for burgers.  If this clown says these hamburgers are alright then they must be!  The joke is that Completely Fictional Company Characters are there chiefly to endorse the product.  Give their seal of approval.  So that we’ll buy the stuff based on these freaks’ OK.    
   Alright!  Anyway.  I think I’ve read one Stephen King book in my life time.  The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon.  It’s about a girl who gets lost in the forest and to keep herself sane she thinks about Boston Red Sox closer Tom Gordon all the time. Also she’s being stalked by monsters or something of course.  Might be a hard movie to make.  Just a girl alone most of the time!  And I guess lots of sequences involving dreams of Tom Gordon.  IT COULD WORK I guess.  We’d need Tom Gordon on board I guess.  Then all the rest of the pieces will fall into place.  Well anyway.  Would they have to update it if they made it now.  Who’s Boston’s relief pitcher de jure in 2026. The Girl Who Loved Aroldis Chapman.  Ooh that’s good he’s good.  Awesome.  Anyway.  I think the girl was like 12.  I don’t think she loved Tom Gordon in a romantic way.  But it may have been on that trajectory.  So that’s good for her figuring things out in the woods finding herself.  Anyway.  I did pretty good in baseball when I was in high school gym.  I distinctly remember hitting doubles off the wall and stealing home.  So those are the few top tier sports memories I have.  I remember once catching the ball while playing catcher when the hitter hit a pop up and the gym teacher calling me Captain.  WOW.  Teacher made loser kid feel good by calling him The Captain.  It works!  Anyway.  See ya later.

    Hi!  Time for five paragraphs of Everything Working Out.  Sentence after sentence of Coolness!  What’s Good News these days.  My Birthday and Present Celebration Holidays are coming up in 2 months.  I can’t wait to receive GIFT.  Hey you know that age old computer image debate of whether it’s pronounced GIFT or JIFT?  Right?  Anyway.  Let’s talk about something.  I Gizz all over myself several times a day.  Just being honest!  This is a safe space!  It’s a tough job but someone’s gotta do it.  The point is I don’t know how to read words.  How am I supposed to write words then?  Just by trial and error I guess.  Halfway through the Stevie Nicks book.  Coming to the conclusion I don’t really like anyone in Fleetwood Mac.  All these people kind of suck!  I’m getting used to liking the songs I’m learning but no one can make me to like these jerks.  Anyway cover band called Fleetwood PC?  Who’s with me?!  The computer brand is called a PC because it’s a Personal Computer.  And the other brand is called Macintosh because it’s made out of Apples.  I think I once asked my Dad if a kid ever brought him an apple in his 30+ year career of teaching.  Think he said no.  Which is good.  What is he gonna do with an apple.  Huge majority of his career he was an overweight fat guy.  He doesn’t want an apple he wants pizza pie!  What does he need an apple for!
   They put pineapple on pizza but never regular apple.  I don’t want either of them.  Get off my website with that shit.  What if I ordered Hawaiian pizza but without pineapple.  Then pizza place would be like what?  And I’d be like JUST CALL IT HAWAIIAN.  It makes me feel better.  I remember a moderately distant past where I would get meat lovers pizza.  I don’t think if I’ll ever get that again as long as I live.  It just doesn’t make sense healthwise.  You Don’t Know What You’ve Got Til It’s Gone.  They should have Meat Lovers Other Stuff.  Can I get Meat Lovers Chicken Noodle Soup?  Can I get Meat Lovers Chocolate Cake?  CAN I GET Meat Lovers CALIFORNIA ROLL?  Anyway yeah.  What if we added eight meats to All Foods.  Something to consider!  Whole Foods implies the existence of Partial Foods.  Or the POTENTIAL of Partial Foods at least.  Kinda want meat lovers pizza for tonight.  It’s not the worst thing in that could happen to my body in the world.  I could be raped by Cornell Students.  They’re Out Of Control!  Corn-Ell.  What’s that.  Why does that make sense to me.  I don’t get it.  Either way there should be a super hero man whose sole purpose is to stop rapes.  That’d be my priority.  I just described Law And Order: SVU.  Oh right.  I guess.
   Hmm.  Anyway.  Super Hero?  More like Super Zero.  Get off my webspage.  Sometimes I wonder wait was I sexually assaulted at some point and just do a really good job repressing it?  MAYBE.  That’s what repression is.  You forget!  So I think You know what MAYBE.  If I really think about it HARD I can SORT Of MAYBE think of SOMETHING now that you mention it.  Probably not. But HUH I DUNNO.  Anyway I’ve had concrete bad experiences in life for sure that weren’t sex crime to worry about.  So that’s good. Ex Crime.  Is that a phrase.  Someone should think about it.  I’ve never had an Ex because I’ve never had a Partner.  Oh well!  Anyway funny stuff what else is up.  SVU doesn’t stop rapes.  It just investigates rapes that already happened.  TOO LATE.  WHO CARES.  The worst has already happened.  Thanks for nothing ICE T.  Also has Ice T considered changing his name because of ICE the Gestapo-type agency?  If I were him I’d say it’s time for a rebrand!  Russell Brand.  That guy seems like he sucks too.  But that’s neither here nor there.  Unless he’s here. Or there.  Turns out lots of people suck!  Probably the majority of people.  Well anyway.  As long as I’ve got myself I should be okay.  Wow what if I suck.  We’ll cross that bridge when we get there!  If it turns out I suck then we’ll figure that out in time!
   Okay.  I don’t think I suck.  I’m trying my best.  Unlike people who suck.  Sucky People don’t try.  I’m Trying so that’s how you know I don’t suck.  I guess Fleetwood Mac band members don’t suck.  They’re okay.  I just don’t love them.  They love each other too much already.  Too indiscriminately.  On and off at least I guess.  Is it just me or was Lindsay Buckingham always on the What’s Up With That sketch in SNL?  I didn’t know who he was really in the past but now I guess I do.  Pretty sure it’s not just me.  Pretty sure it’s universal.  Well anyway.  I’m gonna guess a lot of highly qualified teenage girls aren’t gonna be applying to Cornell next year.  I wouldn’t wanna go to  School Of Rape!  And maybe potential rapist boys are gonna be more likely to wanna attend. So it’s just gonna be Proportionally Worse Situations next year’s class.  Cornell is doomed I guess!  Oh well that’s their problem not mine.  I wouldn’t go to Cornell but I would attend Cornball University.  If that existed.  It just makes sense to me.  Well unless they had a SA problem as well.  That’s not in the spirit of Cornballing.  It could happen anywhere though!  That’s the point! IT DOES happen everywhere!  Oh no.  Anyway.
   Okay.  I think I’ll eat something worse than meat lovers pizza tonight.  Like Too Much Popeye’s!  YES.  I feel bad for anyone actually named Jane or John Doe.  People must always be doubting they really exist.  I know what that’s like.  I doubt I exist sometimes!  Anyway.  I was 6.  He was 37.  My name is John D’OH!  I don’t know what that joke means exactly.  The important thing is I’m trying.  Great.  Maybe at some point I thought the Special in, “Special Victims Unit,” meant that all these victims were all kind of Mentally Disabled.  For some reason they devoted an entire police unit to addressing crimes against the Mentally Enfeebled.  What would the point of that be though!  Hmm.  We’re all a little Special sometimes!  Well at least that’s been my experience.  I can’t speak for everyone.  I can and will but I probably shouldn’t!  Anyway.  I hope playing Fleetwood Mac this season with School Of Rock encourages my group to become romantically involved with each other.  I could use that sort of thing in my life.  It’d be a real blast and a half.  Seemed to work out for the real Fleetwood Mac!  They all had fun love with zero consequences.  I don’t even need EVERYONE to get into relationships.  Just ME.  And ONE girl.  That’s probably enough IMO.  Anyway that’s all!  See ya!
