I Can’t Live Solely On Titles

    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.
