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.

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.

OCTOBER 8 2026

    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!

-9:24 P.M.

OCTOBER 6 2026

    Okay.  Hey.  It’s time to distract myself with this now!  What’s a good topic that’s distracting.  Tract Housing.  I don’t know what that is.  Apparently that’s when houses are the same over and over again.  I LIKE IT.  Charming!  We all as a street agreed upon this house so you know it must be good.  Also it helps you relate to your neighbors.  Hey nice house.  I know what that’s like!  Anyway.  I know in real life one of my neighbors have the same house I have but a mirror image.  Basically my house and theirs forms to look like one huge house to the untrained eye excepting for appropriately having two front doors.  But anyway their house is ours but flipped.  I don’t think I ever went inside that house.  I’d probably be tripping balls.  Everything I know from my entire life’d be backwards.  The innards would be all different I guess.  They don’t have the same products we do!  Unless they’re single white familying us this entire time.  I dunno why they would.  I know everyone thinks their family is the worst but my family really is pretty much in the bottom 10% of lots of categories I can’t define!  The point is I CAN’T IMAGINE anyone emulating us unless they’re weirdo masochists of sorts.  I love them greatly though.  As my Dad would say LOL.  There’s, “Lots Of Love,” there.  LOL.
     That’s what he thinks Lol means.  Lots of love.  That’s that joke based on reality.  That’s okay I dunno what modern acronyms mean either.  What acronyms were popular when my Dad was a kid.  Who cares that’s his problem not mine.  The future belongs to THE YOUNGER SET.  Wait I’m old that’s not me.  I dunno.  I might be in the prime of my life!  Hard to tell for sure.  Anyway what else doesn’t my Dad Understand.  He doesn’t understand THE WAYS OF THE WORLD.  He doesn’t get the universe the way a very wise man might.  Thanks for nothing man.  Now I don’t get it either.  Maybe he does get things but isn’t expressing it to me in a way I can comprehend.  GREAT.  My method for living my life is not so much to try to figure things out but to present the appearance of having figured things out.  I think that’s pretty universal!  It’d be cool to Be Smart but isn’t it slightly cooler to APPEAR To Be Smart?  Anyway.  My experience with being smart is people actively detest you.  That’s Being Smart.  Appearing Smart is a lot easier on everyone I guess.  Anyway.  Anyway I got a weekend coming up and I intend to get something out of it!  WHAT.  Oh.  I was thinking productivity or enjoyment or something.  Spreading joy and cheer!  You know those sorts of things!
  Anyway I’ll do what I do.  I am who I am.  We R Where We R.  Anyway how many dimensions do you think there are.  My first guess is eleven.  Four would be the conservative answer?  If I had to guess based on guessing MAYBE 12-16?  What the hell.  Has anyone written a compelling study for what Dimensions 5+ would tangibly mean/look like?  Cause I can’t wrap my mind around it.  MY DAD OR MOM never explained it to me and I’d like to hear another way of absorbing information over a lifetime!  There’s Dimension Films.  They made the SCREAM movies.  Sure.  There’s the band One Dimensionpretty much.  It’s One Direction because it’s about a VECTOR.  Because all bandmembers were physicians!  Anyway.  My Mom has really gotten into the song Don’t Worry, Be Happy.  She asked me a while ago to play her a song that will make her not worry and boy oh boy did she respond to this one.  It’s nice to see music still works on someone.  It reminds me of when music used to COMFORT Me.  Nowadays I don’t really FEEL things based on music.  I can THINK things based on music I guess. But my Mom feels things based on Bobby McFerrin which is good!  I’d like to reacquire that skill!  Being able to feel based on music.  It’s a good thing because most emotion is pretty happy in the end.
   Great.  Anyway if people use two dimensional as a slander meaning something metaphorically lacks depth then what is the band One Dimension saying about its music.  But remember Michael that’s that made up band name not the real band name.  Oh Good Point.  Anyway One Direction DOES imply one dimensional.  It’s a VECTOR.  A LINE OF SORTS.  They are saying their music is even-less-than-two dimensional secretly I say!  YEAH.  Anyway.  I like that, “You Don’t Know You’re Beautiful,” song.  It probably took eleven people to write but they got the job done on that one.  I find its message pretty shitty though.  “You don’t know you’re beautiful.  That’s what makes you beautiful.”  You’re beautiful because you’re unaware of your surroundings? Doesn’t sit well with me!  Also implicitly its like you need the singer to assure you that you’re beautiful you can’t determine it on your own.  Oh well it’s too late.  Song has been out there for 15 years or so.  Can’t go back now!  Anyway I re-watched The Faculty a couple of nights ago.  That might be a Dimension Pictures movie.  It’s a good one!  It’s just as much about The Student Body though as it is about The Faculty.  And The Town in general plays a big role.  It’s a good title though.  I can’t argue with how The Faculty rolls off the tongue!
   Great!  Anyway let’s see.  I gotta take it easy.  I’ve been working myself like a dog!  Not sure if that’s accurate.  But I’ve been feeling the stress like everyone else I guess.  That’s a weird phrase.  Dogs don’t work.  Some dogs have jobs but most don’t.  And no dogs get paid.  So even dogs who have responsibilities aren’t really employed unless there’s some sort of saving account set up for them or something.  I dunno.  What animal does get paid.  I think only humans!  Maybe parrots cause they can mimic us and do voice over work.  Anyway is it a thing anywhere where human workers were replaced with animal workers and this upset the human labor force?  Gotta imagine it happened SOMEWHERE IN HISTORY.  I can imagine them trying having Chimps on a production line or something when they first started them.  Whatever.  We know there’s a room of monkeys somewhere on typewriters trying to reproduce Shakespeare for some reason.  Good luck with that!  You’d think it’d be even better if they wrote a NEW Great Play or Novel.  What’s the use of duplicating something that’s been written.  I wanna see a monkey come up with something ORIGINAL.  Shouldn’t that be the goal.  Anyway I guess that’s it for today.  I’ll see ya later and whatknot.

OCTOBER 1 2026          
 

    Okay.  Hey!  How’s everyone’s Tuesday going.  Days Of The Week huh.  I think the Soap Opera Days Of Our Lives is weirdly possessive.  These are the days of MY life, not YOURS.  Anyway.  General Hospital.  How about Specific Hospital right?  Here’s my own personal soap opera—when I was a kid I think I would shower most days but was just too lazy to use soap.  My parents would know if I forgo (Is that where the TV/Film title Fargo comes from?) bathing but no one can logistically force me to use soap or shampoo!  That’s not where Fargo came from.  Fargo came because it’s the reverse of Going Far.  Anyway there’s a lot of debate over where to face while showering and my mode was to face the shower curtain.  I thought that was pretty normal but since then I’ve seen a lot of evidence most people face Shower Nozzle and/or face away.  I like sideways!  I like facing the curtain.  Maybe I wanna be face to face with Psycho in case that situation ever comes up.  Anyway.  I remember as a kid I used to leave the bathroom door slightly ajar FOR SAFETY. That way in case there’s a killer I can get out of the room slightly quicker.  In retrospect it’s also LETTING PEOPLE INTO THE ROOM.  Not smart!
    Kinda was more concerned about supernatural threat than a real-life killer.  A Ghost can manifest in the room Door or no Door.  That’s why that made sense at the time!  Anyway I’m starting to get into playing Fleetwood Mac songs.  They make sense to me a little bit more with each passing week!  They sound different than other bands even though they sound the same!  First instinct was oh this sounds like every other band I’ve ever heard.  Maybe I’m wrong!  Maybe there’s something to this!  Anyway been getting really bad at guitar myself lately.  Just really stupid.  It’s all so bad.  Maybe I need to do drugs or something to start playing guitar better.  Something to consider.  Hugs Not Drugs.  The “Shug,” in Shug Knight is an anagram for Hugs.  Who cares if it’s widely accepted to be spelled Suge Knight.  Shug makes more sense!  Because this man needs hugs.  Remember THE SURGE from the Iraq War.  We should try that in the Iran War.  See what happens.  Either actually doing it or just saying it.  I dunno.  At some point IRAQ has got to become a band name right?  And it’s pronounced I ROCK.  Or maybe it’s debated amongst the populaii!  Maybe not this decade but in the future.  There’s room for bands in the future right?  There’s room for future in the future right?  Hmm.
  “I-RAN” is a good political memoir title written by a guy who both ran for office and also had something to do with Iran the country.  IS IT?  Sure.  Huh.  I think bad puns might make some people angry.  It’s worse than reading nothing!  IT’S kind of evil in a way!  Anyway.  There was a mentally ill guy (more than usual) at the music open mic I used to go to who was autistically good at puns and bad jokes like that.  Also was kind of mentally challenged PLUS mentally ill.  NOTABLY once ordered 2 double cheeseburgers with fries one time we were both there early before the open mic started.  That’s that story.  Well that’s good.  Looks like I’m getting a Covid Shot tomorrow.  I hope it makes me feel something.  Hey I feel things.  I feel things a solid HALF The Time.  Anyway the shot might make me feel sore in the arm which is fun.  But it might make me fluish which is less than fun.  What’s it like to not just feel things but feel good things.  I don’t think that exists for anybody.  That’d be too much!  I doubt it.  What’s a good thing people feel anyways.  STIMULATION.  Whatever.  Do you believe in The Matrix that we all live in a Stimulation.  I don’t think about it too often because I don’t want to.  We live in some sort of universe that’s for sure.
     Okay.  What ARE The May Tricks.  April Flowers.  April Flowers bring May Flowers.  May TRICKS.  Okay.  April Showers is a porn name and I guess she has to do Urination Movies that’s why she picked that name!  It’s not like there’s porn where it’s just girls in regular showers.  I’ve seen stuff that takes place in some showers.  But it’s not a GENRE or anything!  Well anyway.  Everyone points out that in The Matrix Neo is a lazy anagram of One cause he’s like THE ONE.  I SAY he’s a lazy stand in for BRIAN ENO.  IT’S TOO OBVIOUS THAT HE’S SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE Music Innovator BRIAN ENO.  I don’t like it!  Anyway.  Nothing I said here today in this entry is very worthwhile.  But I’ve said like EIGHT nonworthwhile things so you do the math.  It all adds up to something.  Anyway it’s almost October.  Does an, “Octo-Bar,” somewhere in the world.  Is there a bar or other kind of franchise exist ANYWHERE called The Octo-Bar?  Well we have no way of knowing so let’s move on with our lives.  You could do that with several months I guess.  Anyway.  I’m not sure if I should geta haircut or not.  My hair is starting to mirror my guitar teacher.  And I don’t want to imitate him.  He’s a younger frankly kinda lame guy not worthy of my emulation not an older cool music guy I’m trying to model myself after!
   Whatever.  My music teacher was born roughly around the time as The Killers Hot Fuss.  Weird!  I bet Brandon Flowers never even killed anybody.  Errantly titled his band!  Anyway.  What a last name!  How relevant to the last paragraph it would have been!  How great just in general! IS IT REAL OR DID HE ADOPT IT WITH PURPOSE.  Well anyway.  I saw the old guy from Nirvana smoked a cigarette at an awards show!  You’re not allowed to smoke inside!  This is crazy!  Now I feel empowered to DO what I wanna DO.  All I have to do is join Nirvana to get the cultural capital first.  What if I don’t wanna smoke cigarettes.  I dunno pretty sure I wanna smoke cigarettes.  I saw it on TV and it seems like the right thing to do!  Anyway.  I don’t recall ever watching an award show and getting something out of it.  Maybe that’s ON ME.  Could be I’m looking for entertainment and cultural fulfillment in the wrong places!  Well that’s good.  Maybe I’d feel differently If I WON the awards. I’d literally get something out of it.  A piece of material.  Plastic or wax or whatever they make them out of it.  But as of yet I’ve never even been NOMINATED for anything!  That’s great though.  It’s a an honor just to qualify to be nominated for something.  What am I qualified to be nominated for.  HEY YEAH.  I DON’T EVEN QUALIFY TO BE NOMINATED FOR ANYTHING ANYWHERE.  FUCK THIS.  Anyway I’ll see ya later.

-11:14 P.M.

SEPETEMBER 29 2026

    Great.  Anyway it doesn’t FEEL like a Jewish New Year.  Been a new year for the last two weeks.  When is this gonna kick in!  I forgot to even jokingly observe Yom Kippur for half a minute this year.  More often than not I hedge my bets and atone for my sins blandly.  I often think at some point over Yom Kippur Hey Sorry For Sins but lets be honest they’re probably your fault ultimately YOU’RE GOD you control everything so YOU should be apologizing TO ME.  Maybe it’s a good thing I forgot to do that blasphemy this time around.  Blasphemy sounds like something you want to avoid in a 19^th century medical book.  Kinda IS I guess.  Anyway I dunno how to feel about Rick Rubin.  I dunno how to feel about anything.  I guess he’d be a good producer for people who already know what they’re doing.  That’s great for them.  Maybe one day I can learn producing skills.  I have human features just like anyone else so I can probably pick up what most other people can!  My favorite special technique when recording music in the distant past was double tracking acoustic guitar and electric guitar playing mostly the exact same thing on the same song or something.  I think.  Maybe I’m remembering it wrong.  Maybe I did something else to make it sound unique.  Either way somehow I did something that sounded good once!
    Maybe I was playing an acoustic guitar through an electric guitar filter?  I forget!  This was two decades ago.  Anyway.  They mention Stevie Nicks several times as a plot point in the School Of Rock movie and now the supposedly unrelated School Of Rock Corporation wants me to learn Fleetwood Mac?  Something is AFOOT.  I don’t know if I like it!  I rewatch School Of Rock all the time but I’m not so sure I like it anymore.  It was a good kids movie and a good Jack Black movie but it’s not a very good rock music movie.  Kinda toothless I think.  IT’D BE FINE if there were other Rock Music Movies out there that were harder hitting for adults but there aren’t!  Imagine Jack Black starring in a rock music movie for adults.  That’s what we’re missing out on!  Is that Tenacious D and the Pic For Destiny.  I dunno WHAT THAT IS or WHO IT’S FOR.  It’s an OK movie though I guess!  Anyway.  Music isn’t for adults it’s for teenagers I guess.  That’s too bad.  Gonna have to look into that to double check.  I’m an adult and my age is two times the oldest teenager and I listen to music as much as ever.  Music is there in our lives THUS it’s a good thing and we need more of it and we need more good movies about it.
     You know like Camp Rock.  I Dunno.  Either way Probably Not.  Camp Rock.  Is that where Jason Vorhees is from.  I get my movies mixed up.  Why does Jason Vorhees need to wear a ski mask.  It’s not a secret identity he’s hiding.  It’s no secret who he is!  He’s Jason!  We know it!  Maybe he’s just ashamed of his gross face.  It’s not that he’s hiding his identity so much as he’s embarrassed of his zombie appearance.  Oh okay good.  He should he more ashamed of his murders.  If I was him yes Dead & Rotting Face is something to be self-conscious about but I’d be even more mortified that people consider me an egregious murderer of camp teenagers.  Cause if it were me I’d never kill anybody.  That’s how I live my life!  What if I had the opportunity to kill Jason Vorhees himself.  Well I don’t think I’d be able to first of all, but if I could, I dunno, it’s all hypothetical, so who cares.  Everything is hypothetical so it’s pointless to think about anything.  Anyway.  Jason Vo or Hees.  Gotta choose one!  I dunno.  I don’t like Jason because he never says anything.  Kinda like Michael Myers.  Just TALK A LITTLE BIT.  Tell me what you’re thinking!  How you’re feeling.  What’s on your mind!  Then go back to killing people if you want.  Just communicate with me articulately for a second!
    Okay.  I know they had Freddy v. Jason but they never had Jason V. Jason.  Where they cloned Jason and made one Friday the 13^th fight another Friday the 13^th.  Probably because that’d be confusing above all else.  Oh okay.  Aren’t all Friday the 13ths Jason v. Jasons.  In the sense that HIS INNER CONFLICT is what’s at the heart of these movies. What is his inner conflict.  He wants to keep getting to the person he’s stalking so he can kill them.  And then after that get to the next person to kill them.  That’s his outer conflict.  Oh.  Not sure then! Something about his mother.  Wants to please his mother.  Wants to avenge his mother.  His mother wants to avenge him which in turn makes him want to make his mother satisfied she avenged him good.  Huh.  Does the date Friday The 13^th ever come into play in this movie franchise.  I’ve seen all these movies probably at least once.  I don’t remember That Day ever mattering!  In essence it’s a spooky day but I don’t get the chills at all thinking about the title.  Dumb franchise defanged the creepiness of the day!  Oh well.  On the other hand the movie Halloween did the reverse and made Halloween SCARIER.  Cause it actually really matters that it’s Halloween.  It really matters A LOT.
   They made movies called all the major holidays but there’s a lot of Jewish Holidays out there still available.  No movie yet just called SUKOT.  No movie called CHANUKAH.  Well there’s 8 Crazy Nights.  But there’s no movie called PURIM.  Anyway.  There’s no Jewish Halloween is there.  I doubt it.  I’d remember something like that.  I like Channukah because it’s one word in the English language (tangentially) that we just decided OKAY FOR THIS ONE, 2-3 accepted spellings.  Any other word we narrowed it down to one spelling.  This one is anyone’s presumption! Gonna be very lenient with it.  Chanukah.  Hanukkah.  IT’S ALL GOOD.  So that’s good.  Anyway the good news is I have a music lesson tonight.  Start learning some Fleetwood Mac songs.  Learning those songs will help me do my own music better.  How?  Why?  Am I sure about that?  These are all decent questions that may have answers possibly.  Guitar is hard.  Sometimes you look at it and you just get it and sometimes you look at it and it’s abstract art.  I dunno.  I feel if I practice more I’ll reach a level where I Get Better.  Practice?  Is that a thing people do?  Probably.  I kinda practice.  I play random notes on the guitar often all the time!  That’s a form of practicing I feel.  Anyway.  That’s all for today.  See ya later!

-2:44 P.M.

SEPTEMBER 24 2026   
   

    Hey!  HOW IS IT SUPPOSED TO WORK.  I’ll figure it out.  Just started my new season of RCool of Shock.  What is Fleetwood.  I sort of understand Mac.  Some guy’s name.  Fleetwood is also his name.  Oh.  I like a couple of these songs so far.  The Chain?  Wow!  Go Your Own Way?  Alright!  Rihannon?  Why Not!  Something’s just off about trying to enjoy this band though.  Seems like generic music or something.  Possibly geriatric music.  Perhaps even Gentrified music.  Anyway the good news is there’s no distortion to any of these songs.  I have to play clean guitar sounds.  Really challenge myself in your understanding of what guitar is all about!  They call distorted guitar distortion but THAT’S THE NORM.  I say an undistorted guitar is the real distortion.  Anyway.  Did Norm MACdonald feel a certain connection to Fleetwood MAC?  My initials are MAK so I dunno I should be looking inward on that type of question not outward.  Sheet would MAK.  That’s me all over the place.  Anyway our show went pretty good on Saturday.  Was it perfect?  No.  Is anything perfect?  Possibly either everything is perfect or nothing.  Either the untire universe is operating perfectly OR everything is fucked.  How can one thing be perfect if it leaves room for the rest of things to be imperfect.  If that one thing was so perfect It’d Fix Everything Else! 
   Anyway I got some nice comments about my guitar playing and my t-shirt so all in all it was a win!  Enjoyed it pretty well too.  At certain points during the performance I was like HEY I LIKE THIS.  Not sure what made this time different than other times.  But at times I found myself feeling particularly good.  I’d sell my soul to feel good like that again.  Well not literally.  I’d consider renting it out for a while maybe.  Also luckily it doesn’t even cost my soul!  Just costs Practicing Music and Making Music Connections And Finding More Stages!  Anyway.  I need to get a haircut.  If it were me naming activities I’d call it a cuthair.  I need to get a cuthair.  Wait no that’s Elisha Cuthberts airline.  Oh good.  Uncouth is a word.  Let’s think about it.  You can be Uncouth but you can’t be COUTH.  Wait yes you can.  Just as Uncouth means a thing, Dictionary is telling me Couth IS a word meaning the opposite.  NOBODY USE THAT WORD.  What The Hell.  Couthwest Airlines is an existing airline practically.  As a kid I was always SLIGHTLY interested in Flight Commander every time I saw it in the computer store. You know what I mean.  The program that simulates Airplane.  It’s not a game though so beneath the glitz and glamour I rightly deduced it’s mostly just work.
    Amazing we didn’t end up with a generation of millennials who all knew how to fly planes.  I guess it’s for the best.  Too Many Pilots would be quite the problem!  Just ask TV NETWORKS.  They got lots of pilots to choose from to determine which go to series and whatknot.  Anyway.  Jesus is everyone’s Co-Pilot but they didn’t have airplanes 2000 years ago so exactly when did he get his pilot’s license.  He doesn’t need to learn flying an airplane.  He does It by FEEL.  He can intuit flying and landing and take offs because he’s SMART.  Anyway.  Do Latin people know that his name is pronounced Jeez-Us?  Or do they pronounce The Presumed Savior’s name the way they pronounce their common name in use Hey-Zues.  Never thought about it like that!  I don’t see them pronouncing Jesus two different ways!  Probably an accent over one of those letters.  Spanish speakers love accent marks and I think they got the right idea.  Anyway.  I also wanted to get Architecture Computer Program when I was a kid.  Also not meant for recreational use.  I wanted to build houses for fun.  But I correctly deduced This Software Is Not For Fun Really.  For a while I wanted to be an architect as a kid.  Not sure where I got that.  The Sims probably is what got me permanently off that.  Building them houses when I was 12 or 13.  Realized oh this sucks.
   Cool.  The ideal would be to build a houseplane in the sky the fly it from here to there.  None of that sounds ideal at all.  Well when you’re a kid you think weird things!  What else did I wanna do when I was a kid.  Grow up.   PHYSICALLY.  When I was a kid did I ever even think I was gonna get taller?  Cause I never did!  I dunno if I ever even thought one day I’ll be taller, then I’ll be happy.  I accurately never got my hopes up!  Anyway.  I’m still only 37.  I got many decades of life yet.  A lot of time for them to find a cure for Shortness.  I believe in Science!  They’ll figure out SOMETHIN’.  Stand on your tippy toes.  That was my strategy for a while when I was a teenager.  Then I lost track of doing that for some reason.  Maybe I got self-conscious someone would look down at my feet and notice.  Anyway maybe short stature is why I subconsciously was interested in those careers.  Planes are UP.  HIGH IN THE SKY.  The antonym of short.  Houses I’d design (which I never actually DID) often have SECOND FLOORS and/or ATTICS.   Second floors and Attics are Up There In The Air!  So that’s good.  I was never interested in becoming a pilot.  I just wanted to play the game.  Get it straight.  It’s important.  This is my life we’re talking about!  For some reason. 
    This has nothing to do with my life!  This is just random factoids about my past.  Oh ok that’s good.  I’d prefer to hear random facts about my future.  Also I wish these future facts weren’t so random.  Actually I wanna hear purposeful facts about my future.  In my head the future is usually just an extension of the present but that can’t be right cause otherwise What Would Ever Happen.  Anyway I can figure out how to manifest a good future.  All it takes is a Positive Outlook.  Which is what happens when your Email Aggregator gets Venereal Disease.  Anyway I’m in a new routine for me now.  New season of School Of Rock.  New season of… Seasons!  Literally is today!  Fall starts RIGHT.  NOW.  Can’t wait till I see some piles of leaves.  I hope I see some piles of leaves.  They might have people get rid of the leaves as soon as they accumulate.  I hope not.  Fall reminds me of VD.  Same kind of smell.  But all in a good way.  I might be thinking of the White Stripes song Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground.  Well that either makes sense or leads us further astray.  Well anyway I’m halfway through the day and my responsibilities are mostly done so I should be happy going forward for the Rest Of My Life??  Great!!  I’ll see ya later friends.

-3:31 P.M.

SEPTEMBER 22 2026 

    Okay.  Hey!  How’s life going.  I only have barely enough time to write this entry!  Then I gotta go do my music lesson.  We’ll see what happens.  It’s possible I have Slightly More Than Barely Enough Time.  It’s possible I have Not Enough Time!  Anyway I gotta keep my eye on the shot clock.  The ball in play number.  The Tick Tock in the corner of the screen.  Time It Takes Calibration.  Ugh.  Just re-read Catcher In The Rye.  If you remove the, “R,” in Rye, the acronym that is the title is CITY.  And it’s practically a portrait of NYC.  Well that’s one of two hundred things it’s about.  The first few times I read this I imagined Holden too much like a baseball catcher.  Cause that’s a very specific body type image.  Kinda husky.  Wears face masks.  Always crouching.  This time though that image didn’t even occur to me!  Anyway it’s an okay relatable book because I’ve been there.  Read this book five times or so.  The last time I wrote in the margins just to confuse my future self.  I just wrote in random places to the left or right of the words Awesome! Or No Way!  And stuff like that 10 or 12 times entirely randomly throughout the book for some reason.  I thought that would make things more interesting for the next person to read it. 
    I remember when I was younger I wanted to make a movie of Catcher In The Rye and I wanted to play Holden Caulfield.  I didn’t even wanna be an actor but I wanted to be Holden Caulfield.  I think that’s pretty universal among actors, wanting to be Catcher In The Rye.  Not sure how common it is among NON-actors though!  One thing I don’t like about the novel is that even with all his madness there’s a lot of people who like and want to engage with Holden Caulfield.  Kinda jealous.  He might be the weirdest kid in the world and there’d still be potential friends and teachers and love interests lining up to hang out with him.  I think it’s more common with mental illness that people write you off immediately and then leave you alone the rest of your life.  That wouldn’t make a very good book, I guess.  Anyway what else is going on.  I’m surprised ya never meet anyone named Holden.  You’d think some people would be naming their kid Holden based on how popular this book is.  It’s a charming name!  My dad’s name is Harold.  Take out an, “Ar,” add an, “En,” look what happens.  Anyway.  Didn’t really occur to me until just this time I was reading it that Caulfield is possibly an unreliable narrator.  MAY BE relaying facts and stories and even dialogue incorrectly as part of the overall narrative of the book.  Right?  Maybe!  I mean I guess I knew that to some extent.  Whatever.
    Cool.  Well the Blondie Autobiography isn’t arriving until next Monday.  That’s why I had to read something else.  What do I know about Blondie.  Nothing!  That’s why I’m getting the autobiography!  Blondie are brownies that aren’t brown.  Nonchocolate brownie or something?  I heard that somewhere.  I ate that somewhere!  I never forget a dessert.  That’s what people stranded in deserts say.  They never forget because they’ll most likely die there.  Anyway.  Sean Connery saying You’re The Man Now Dawg while playing a character loosely based on J.D. Salinger may be as good as anything you’ll ever read in a J.D. Slinger book or short story.  It made me laugh the most for sure.  Now that I think about it, why DIDN’T I have a relationship with Recluse J.D. Salinger like the kid did with Finding Forrester.  SEEMS LIKE something that I should have experienced when I was in high school!  I graduated H.S. in 2006 and he died in 2010.  I guess J.D. Salinger just wasn’t that invested in me becoming a better writer.  I guess that sums that up.  Well why didn’t I learn from Forrester.  The movie.  The clues were in the movie on how to be a genius writer!  Oh sorry I missed those parts.  Anyway I FOUND FORRESTER.  He was trickily in the city and not The Forest.
   Yeah.  Okay!  Finding Forrester.  Where’s Waldo.  Alliteration about looking for people.  I get it.  Finding Emo is a documentary I’m going to make about my 13^th favorite music genre.  Anyway.  Just once I wanna hear a story about how someone somehow contacted J.D. Salinger with like I really understood what your book was about it was this and that such and such and Salinger responded like HOLY SHIT YOU ACTUALLY GOT IT!  THE LAST 2,000 PEOPLE WHO GOT IN TOUCH WITH ME WERE WAY OFF BUT YOU REALLY DID GET IT.  WOW.  Anyway.  How can a book be about something.  It’s just a collection of a million words.  That’s what it is.  Anyway.  I’m sure Catcher In The Rye was about something.  J.D. must have had something in mind.  Otherwise why would he pick things to say so deliberately.  Well that’s good.  Anyway.  I think I’m probably too old to play Holden Caulfield.  I’m about two decades older than he is now.  But I’m a foot shorter!  I could presumably pass for teenage with the right lighting and makeup.  But I’m canonically short where he is tall.  SO WHAT.  Wolverine The X-Man is short and they get taller actors to play him!  This is just a Reverse Wolverine!  Why don’t I just play an accurate Wolverine.  Because no one offered me the role!  I WOULD if I could!
  Orange is to Tangerine as Wolf is to Wolverine.  That’s about all of the kind of stuff I learned High School English because Salinger wasn’t around to give me extra help. Is the song Linger based on and/or about J.D. Salinger.  I dunno much about that song.  I don’t even know the song Linger!  Used to be a 4^th string pizza place near me Sal And Vinnie’s.  What if J.D. Salinger was a silent partner.  Then he’d be doing a pretty poor job with the, “Silent,” part.  Really playing with fire with the store title!  Cool.  I bet J.D. lived in or frequented or came upon a building with Nine Stories at some point.  Nine floors.  And he was like THAT’S GOTTA BE THE TITLE OMG.  If I know J.D. Salinger like I think I know J.D. Saligner Nine Stories is a pun for a 9 floor building.  In German it phonetically means NO Stories.  No Stories for us.  Something like that.  I guess.  Anyway. If he ever became a D.J. he’d be a palindrome.  D.J. J. D.  Go figure!  He wouldn’t have to use that name if he was a D.J. but it’d be right there if he wanted.  Anyway.  Feels kinda weird carrying that book around in public. Catcher In The Rye.  Feels like people might be concerned about someone carrying that book around if they see you.  Too many people attribute homicides and whatknot to that book!  I’M NOT gonna do anything bad but you don’t know that.  Well that’s all for today.  See ya later.

    Cool.  How’s everyone doing.  Time to write an entry!  Feels like I should be doing something else.  Like clipping my toe nails.  It’s TIME to write an entry but my MIND is elsewhere.  Anyway my School Offer Ock show is this Saturday.  Only thing I really need to practice is Enter Sandman.  I’ve been playing that song poorly.  And trying to play the guitar volume down where no one will notice it.  Let the singing and drums take center stage.  I dunno though!  When ya listen to Metallica live people are gonna wanna groove to the guitar!  I better practice this song and then crank up the volume when the show comes!  What if I just clip my nails to the music for that one song instead of playing an instrument and call it punk.  I don’t think anyone can reallyargue with me there.  I know you had your heart set on a sick guitar solo but what if you watched me groom myself instead.  Anyway.  Doc Ock.  How come every other Super Hero Villain is super intelligent and often starts off as benevolent.  Is it because of right wing populist theory that Smart People Who Only Want To Help Society are actually evil?  DON’T LIKE IT.  Doc Ock would play some sick guitar.  He has like ten hands.  Those ock limbs can’t play guitar stings at all.  Well he’d have to adjust them sure.  But it can be done if he works on it!
    There now, isn’t that a lot better than killing people.  Playing instruments.  I guess.  Some guitars kill fascists.  Not Ed Heeran’s.  HOW DARE YOU suggest he stand for something he’s just a lowly musician.  He has no agency or anything!  How does a guitar kill fascists.  Well I guess you hit an SS Officer over the head like it was a WWE prop or something.  But you’d have to hit em really hard.  Anyway.  I haven’t watched WWE since before it even changed its letters to WWE.  Now I watch WEE.  Weezer Entertainment… Entertainment.  Anyway.  FINALLY an excuse to shit on Ed Sheeran.  I’ve been waiting for this forever!  If my name was Ed and I had to write a sitcom loosely based on my life SURE I’d go with calling it Special Ed.  That’s kind of a non-sequitur I guess.  Anyway here’s a line for either Ed Sheeran or Macklemore for a future song: …something something Palestine/something something Someone who I thought was a pal o’ mine.  Well anyway.  I’m sure Ed Sheeran is a competent musician.  I dunno if I’m sure.  Anyway.  My life is only getting better.  I got plans!  Gonna start using Exercise Equipment.  That’ll force me to get up early.  Wake up early Just To Use Treadmill for an hour each morning.  I figure that’s a double negative that WON’T cancel each other out.  IT DIDN’T WORK TODAY, as I still overslept, but we’ll see about tomorrow.
     Alright.  That’s It!  I’m never gonna listen to another Ed Sheeran song again!  Wow this is working out in my favor already.  Anyway he’s my cousin in the record store aisles.  Sheet is right next to Sheeran!  That may or may not be how names work.  That implies Sheet is the last name in, “Crazy Sheet.”  SURE I GUESS SOMEWHAT. Also implies this is a music project.  WELL THAT’S WRONG.  I don’t even like them being two separate words.  Crazysheet is more accurate.  Them being two different words is implied!  Imp Lied.  That’ll happen.  Imps are tricky little figures!  Well anyway.  Maybe I should host Macklemore on this website.  That’d be the right thing to do.  I dunno what to say about Palestine exactly to get the job done so I’m assuming he does.  Anyway Ed Sheerin heard the, “PALE,” in Palestine and thought Macklemore was talking about him.  Great.  I gotta remember to shave before my big show on Saturday.  I have either Friday or Saturday to choose from.  Thursday is a little too soon!  My face shall be clean!  Anyway.  Been re-watching Oz for the ~11^th time.  A lot of the time they seem to be having a ton of fun.  It’s like college campus dorms or something.  I feel like I’m missing out not being in jail.  THE FOMO IS REAL!
    Cool.  FOMO is an anagram of MOFO.  Mother Focker.  Also MOOF.  Mother I’d like to FOOF.  Well anyway.  I should also do my laundry on Thursday or something.  So I’m wearing clean clothes for my show.  Shirt It Up.  Pantswearer.  Socks Even!  I don’t know why I don’t bother to wear socks 2/3rds of my days.  It’s borne from laziness more than anything else.  I dunno putting on socks takes extremely little time and effort.  EVERYONE ELSE is doing it!  Why can’t I!  I just don’t like socks’ attitude.  Who needs ‘em.  If I were in OZ I’d need socks.  Can’t walk around Prison in barefeet.  They probably have shoes.  I dunno.  Not sure.  Gonna have to read the brochure.  Has anyone made a pun in a song where they say “Brochure,” and, “Bro, Sure,” at the same time yet?  Cause if not I’ll try to work it in somehow at some point maybe.  Probably not.  Doesn’t really fit in with my songs!  My songs are suited particularly for EVEN WORSE lyrics.  Great.  I could always try to write better lyrics.  Maybe not always.  I could Once In A While try to write better lyrics!  Even that’s pretty difficult for me.  I could try to write better lyrics FOR JUST ONCE IN MY LIFE.  Well sure in an ideal world yes.            
    Alright.  Whatta do with tonight.  Write some lyrics.  I dunno.  I don’t write lyrics as much as I Take Notes.  Sometimes they rhyme!  When I’m in lyric mode I make my notes rhyme!  Anyway enough about me.  Free Palestine.  Stop killing people.  Let everyone live!  IT’s WRONG.  Israel been BAD.  And not like Michael Jackson vernacular Bad.  Like Michael Jackson personal life Bad.  Anyway.  Is it gonna keep going on forever?  I dunno.  We need to speak now!  And if not now, later!  BUT PREFERABLY SOON.  I don’t like it.  Seems like where there’s a will there’s a way.  Hmm.  Then there’s R.L. Stine.  I never liked Goosebumps that much.  They weren’t as good as they could have been!  I COULD IMAGINE A GOOSBUMPSLIKE BOOK that’s better than this!  Thus I never got into reading Goosebumps book.  Did R. L. Stine ever write an autobiographical work called R. L. For Real because he probably could have at some point.  You know what I’d rewatch that Jack Black Goosebumps movie.  I don’t care.  Anyway.  The entry is just about over. I got 2 days until I have to write another one.  It will be filled with crap and bullshit.  You’ll like it!  That’s all.  See ya later.
