What’s Funny Again?

    Great.  How’s everyone doing.  I had to learn the solo to No Doubt Don’t Speak this week and I flat out didn’t!  The good news is I know pretty much everything else!  I know about Meteorology.  I know about Bibliography.  I know about Mimeographs.  I know everything else.  Also I’m probably meeting up with a friend this weekend to play music.  I met up with her last weekend!  It went okay!  It’s nice to have a friend in theory.  In practice I feel Ya Know I Could Be Doing Anything Else instead of having a friend at this moment.  I’m excited about having a friend LATER ON IN A LITTLE BIT but NOT RIGHT NOW.  IN terms of music making potential I’m not getting my hopes up on account of the rampant mediocrity between the two of us.  And not in the good way!  Anyway That’s My Life!  See where it takes me.  Life is a long and winding Staircase—The Beatles–  Me.   Anyway.  Celebrating America’s 250 Big Birthday.  What’s the 250th Wedding Anniversary Present.  Must be SOMETHIN’.  Well obviously people don’t live that long.  But 25th wedding anniversary is Silver.  So we can get America TEN TIMES SILVER. Who is America married to.  I dunno but I don’t wanna meet them!  Anyone who would marry America has got some serious issues!  Leave me out of it!  Is 25 times 10 really 250 Michael.  Are you sure about that.  Lemme think.  It’s either 250 or 225.  There’s really no way of knowing!
   My Mathematics Are Fallign Apart!  That’s okay.  Nobody likes Math for some reason.  It gets a Bad Rap! You know like Asher Roth.  Math will always be personal for me because my Dad taught math.  Every equation I ever did in my lifetime was subconsciously to please my Dad.  Sometimes consciously!  Anyway I see wanna-be memes all the time the last couple of years on Social Media saying stuff like 3 x 3 x 3 = 15 4 x 4 x 4 = 20 5 x 5 x 5 = 30 WHAT DOES 6 x 6 x 6 = ?  And I’m always just like DID MATH CHANGE SINCE I WAS IN SCHOOL?  None of this is real math brain teasers!  IT’S ALL WRONG!  I’m pretty sure at least 50% of brain teasers on Threads at least are more Rage Bait than anything.  Designed to be confusing and non-sensical and to upset people looking for an actual Quiz-Em-Up!  That’s the MAJORITY of the Brain Teasers I see.  Maybe that’s on me.  Your Feed Is On You is my impression!  To some extent.  To some extent IT’s On THEM.  Huh.  I DEMAND UNIVERSAL FEEDS.  I want a shared experience with people.  Universal Feed.  That’s a band name.  Universal Studios might sue me though.  Feed could be a band name but it’s not quite what I’m going for.  The point is I had an idea to improve society but when that fell through it turned into a band name I nor anyone else will ever use.  That’s the circle of life.
     Band names can improve society.  I guess.  What else is going on.  Sometimes I think about how great it would be to be Kurt Cobain but then I remember He Had Stomach Problems and I’m like oh right ya never know what’s going on with people behind the scenes.  Anyway.  Sure If I start writing songs I’m gonna somewhat model myself after Krut Cobain.  When I was in middle school WE LIKED NIRVANA.  Middle School is key to your development.  Also I haven’t done much since then.  I remember riding the train a lot in the past.  Been a while but those were some times Post-Middle School!  A lot of Long Island Rail Road.  The best train!  It’s comfortbale and everything.  It better be, For suburban businesses men and ultra executives.  Anyway.  If I ever have kids I’m gonna be like Just Wait Until You Start Riding Public Transportation you’re gonna love it.  I’m not 100% happy about inflicting life on someone new but at least you’ll get a kick out of that.  Who are other musicians I can be instead of myself.  Hmm.  What if I was myself.  What self.  WHO ME.  WHERE MY?  I’ll be myself, sure.  Part of being myself is being other people!  That’s the songwriter’s life as far as I can figure!  What’s the part of being myself that’s being myself.  I dunno!  Haven’t gotten to that yet!
   Anyway.  I don’t really see myself as a Kurt Cobain figure.  Maybe I was a little like Kurt Cobain as a kid.  I could be pretty funny and charismatic to people who got to know me.  Not the same guy anymore, though!  Maybe I’m like him in other ways.  We both like to misspell words on purpose for fun.  That’s an exclusive club!  Whatever.  Who should I emulate that DOESN’T have Gut Issues.  Does it have to be a musician.  I guess not.  Does it have to be a person.   Probably.  Who Am I Thinking Of.  I don’t know!  I don’t wanna copy one person.  I wanna copy EVERY PERSON.  Mix and match.  Here and There.  Take and give.  Maybe leave out shitty people.  Just adapt things from Average To Good People!  Anyway.  It’s a real baller move calling the journey of Odysseus The Odyssey.  That’d be like if I wrote a story about my life and called it The Mikening.  Really centers the hero!  Also good for them that Odyssey is just a word now!  We use it to mean journey and whatknot.  No band name Odyssey. You’d think there’d be a 70’s or maybe 80’s band named Odyssey.  But they’d be accused of ripping off Journey.  Look in the music business you’re guilty of lots of stuff.  So what if you rip off a band name!  Add it to the list!  Apparently there was a band Odyssey.  Well I’m glad it worked out for them to the extent that I don’t know who they are but do now!
   Might get Halal food for dinner tonight.  Delightful!  Halal Back Girl.  Huh.  Odyssey is a, “Vocal Trio.”  I don’t know what that is but if it is anything like it sounds I’m glad I can’t even imagine it.  What are they vocal about?  Housing For The Homeless?  Death Penalty Preference?  WHAT IS THIS TRIO FOR?  I dunno.  Possibly nothing.  That’s why no one knows them.  That and a seemingly probable lack of instrumental back-up.  Is the band Odyssey voiced by A.I. Michael Caine?  Oh I get it.  Like the news!  Caine is the same as Cobain without the, “Ob.  Was that important to share with people?  I think yes.  Anyway, “Ob,” means, “Obviously.”  Try that out in texts and whatknot.  OR DON’T.  I WON’T.  I guess I could spend an hour trying to learn this No Doubter Solo and come out of it knowing the first four notes.  That’s another difference between me and Kurt Coabin.  Different amount of skill.  And musical ability.  And talent.  There must have been a time he was at my skill level.  Maybe when he was 12 or something.  Right?  Probably!  Anyway.  I dunno.  Maybe I’m 12.  I know numerically I’m not.  But numerologywise maybe I’m 12.  If 12 + 12 = 25 and 13 x 2 = 10 what does 5 + 10 = ?  Huh.  Hmm.  SEVEN?  I dunno.  I’ll see ya later.
