Great.  I woke up tired today!  I guess I usually don’t wanna get out of bed, but this time I was REALLY into wanting to stay asleep!  Got stuff to do though.  My Dumb Life Must Go On!  Not exactly sure why.  God is a voyeur and he wants to keep watching!  Gotta satisfy that freak.  And his friends Other Gods And Goddesses.  The point is God must get One Main Thing out of being Our God and It being a Voyeuristic Sex Kink is as good a guess as any.  Hmm.  I guess if we put on a good show for him in life that’s a good way to get into Heaven!  Really ham it up in the shower.  When eating pudding.  You know.  I dunno.  With this new information NOT SURE I wanna be in Heaven.  I was thinking about it and is the word, “Heavy,” related to the word, “Heaven?”  I’m sorry to drag you into this thought just because I was thinking it.  It’s just so rare I think about things!  Most of the time I’m just staring at the whatever device I’m using in a lobotomized state like Jack Nichelson at the end of One Flew Over The Cookoo’s Nest.  Or Jack Nichekson at moments during the second and third act of The Shining.  The point is Jack Nicholson is a good actor!  Re-watched Spider-man (2002) last night.  It’s a good one!  I wish this Uncle Ben was MY Dead Father Figure.  But also alive at points.  I also wish my real father was my Uncle.  Does that make sense? 
    Nah he’s good as a father.  Anyway.  Is it possible Peter Parker is Jewish.  Internet says he’s Jewish-Coded.  Oh Like The Matrix.  I get it.  Understood.  Let’s get Spiderman on the record with a FIRM opinion on the Israel/Gaza war so we can judge him one way or the other!  YEAH.  At this point it’s not too controversial to be firmly against Israel.   Unless you have any sort of power or say.  In which case you probably seem to be pro- Israel and/or offer bland neutralities.  Anyway.  I wonder what wars the ancient Israelites fought in the Bible that were actually terrible, too!  Maybe they were doing war crimes in some of them, too!  Maybe in David vs Goliath, Goliath was actually just a composite representing proto-Palestinian Children or something.  And David kept throwing boulders on top of them?  I dunno.  WELL they overturned the Voting Rights Act here in America.  What can be done.  I alone can’t do a thing about it.  But if we all get together to create a new Voting Rights Act?  A PEOPLE’S Voting Rights Act?  Hmm.  Bad News sucks!  Elected and/or Appointed Leaders do something terrible and it’s like Well what can ya do.  VOTE LATER ON ABOUT IT.  But they just took away and/or diluted our right to vote. OH HMM I SEE THAT’S A TOUGH ONE.  I still technically have a right to vote for now.  But my cohorts elsewhere don’t.  People who usually vote often similar to me.  People who tend to vote Democrat ALL lost some of their right to vote yesterday!  Great.  Let’s boycott.  NO MORE BUYING STUFF at Supreme Court Gift Shop!
    There’s a Tenacious D song where Jack Black riffs through several things that are, “Supreme.”  I think at least half of them are menu items.  Burritos and stuff.  Why can’t the Supreme Court be more like THAT.  Anyway.  If they gerrymander the South can we gerrymander the West Coast and North East and Democratic Midwest?  Presumably!  And just do that until we reach a point in our politics in the distant future where we’re like Wait A Second I think We’re Normal.  Let’s outlaw gerrymandering completely now.  We might be normal one day somehow.  I dunno HOW.  But just imagine it happening.  Imagine all the people sharing all the world!  I could see that happening if it weren’t for 1-5% of the population that’s intent on hoarding most of the world.  Can’t we send them to Mars or something.  They SAY they wanna go to Mars anyway, half of them.  Just expedite that process?  I guess the alternative is also a possibility.  Let Them Have Earth!  WE’LL ALL GO TO MARS.  Not sure how we’ll survive.  Or how you’ll get 8 billion people to Mars at once.  That’s for THE SCIENCTISTS to figure out!  Anyway.  I remember when I was a kid some experts were like THE ODDS ARE LOW WE’LL EVER FIND LIFE ANYWHERE.  JUST VERY UNLIKELY THEY’LL EVER BE THE CONDITIONS FOR LIFE.  And then a few years later they were like YA KNOW WHAT WE FOUND FROZEN WATER SO THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN LIFE ON MARS.  So it went from NOWHERE to ACTUALLY THE NEXT PLANET OVER IS A POSSIBILITY.
    Anyway.  I think these-a-days most experts are like Sure There’s Probably Life Out There Get Off My Back About It.  I think that’s the tagline to the new Stephen Spielberg movie.  There’s rumors it’s gonna tie into a previous Spielberg movie, whether it’s Close In Counters or E.T.  Or maybe Jurassic Park.  Or Jaws.  Or 1941.  WE DON’T KNOW YET.  I’ve never seen 1941.  My only image of it in my mind is a building falling down.  Or a wall falling down.  I could have hallucinated that.  AI hallucinates things now.  That’s how language works.  A few years from now we’ll associate the word, “Hallucinate,” SOLEY with the thing what AI does and NONE WITH what Humans do.  Right now it’s both.  GIVE IT TIME.  I was thinking about making an AI movie.  I have a good STORY and I’d supplant it with Good Human Produced Soundtrack.  So 2/3 of it would be good.  Only problem would be Dumb A.I. produced images!  That could be overlooked.  Overlook Hotel.  The point is I’m not going to do that because it’s just another Human Hallucination.  But you get the idea.  With a good story and a good soundtrack someone could make a halfway decent A.I. film unfortunately!  Especially if it’s me.  I’m DUE!  I’d still much rather watch a similar movie that was made In The Real World.  But this way it could be made Cheap And Theoretically By One Person! 
   Okay.  I don’t really wanna do that.  I just think about it sometimes because I always fantasized about making a movie my entire life!  And this is just one incarnation of that!  I assume lots of people fantasize about making a movie.  They should DO A POLL.  Gotta be 20-50% people seriously entertain the idea, as a recurring theme over the course of their life, that They Want To Make A Movie.  Anyway.  I might be wrong.  I may just be thinking of myself.  I often am just thinking of myself.  I think of other people a lot of the time but mostly through the prism of myself.  Mostly through the prison of myself!  Anyway.  If I make a music album that’s like a movie.  This entire blog is like a movie of my life.  MY LIFE is like a Sex Movie Of My Life for God. Gotta try to look at things creatively.  Yeah but the movie I would have made would have had straightforward plot and dialogue and other facets that only real movies have.  Oh Okay Good Point.  Well I can always WATCH real movies!  But they’re not even about the things I would have made them about.  Barely even close!  Anyway who cares.  I don’t wanna work with A.I. actors.  If they’re anything like real actors THEY MSUT BE A HANDFUL!  Yes.  Computer say line again but better.  COMPUTER TRY AGAIN BUT BETTER.  GO COMPUTER GO.  I imagine that’s what making an A.I. generated movie would mostly be like.  Anyway.  That’s all for today.  See ya later.

APRIL 30 2026

    Sure.  Can’t be any worse than the Title!  Can only get better from here!  Anyway had a pretty good Fake Band Practice last night.  It’s a fake band.  We play instruments together to make cover songs but under the supervision of some sort of corporation.  That’s no Flat Out Band!  But it’s a FAKE BAND I guess!  YES even that is pushing it a bit.  Fake fake band.  Fake fake fake fake Band maybe.  At some point if you put enough, “Fake’s,” before the word band I’ll relent and say Fine We’re That Much Of A Band I Guess.  CLOSE ENOUGH.  We don’t interact with each other enough though.  Socially a little!  Not musically.  That’s what a real band does.  It’s like if The Beatles only just worked on music through Brian Epstein and/or Phil Spector and never with each other the entire time.  Also if The Beatles band name was Fake Fake Band.  Then It’d Be Real!  Anyway.  Apparently Michael was a big hit amongst audiences.  Maybe I should see it after all!  I’m not talking about myself but rather the major motion picture.  They couldn’t call it Jackson because then the obvious implication is that wait a minute that’s right he might have Jacked some people’s Sons.  DAMMIT.  Anyway.  On the other hand I’m on Team Not Normalizing and Celebrating Known Child Molesters.  So there’s that!
   Hmm.  It’s DIFFERENT THOUGH because THAT’S THE SEQUEL. Try to understand how movies work!  Oh Sorry My Bad.  Anyway The New Pornographers show was pretty good.  They were great but from my angle on the balcony at the edge of the stage I could only see half the band.  YES the Good Half!  But still.  Still was good.  Much better than silence.  I assume.  I forget the sound of silence.  Lemme LTURQ.  I dunno.  Just looked up the The Sound Of Silence by Simon AND Garfunkel but I’m still not 100% WHAT the Sound Of Silence is.  Not great at deciphering lyrics to be honest!  Which is for the best because lyrics are just nonsense noises.  To make music go by in an amusing way.  That’s my feeling.  I dunno when I was At Concert I sure thought I was really getting into the lyrics.  I think.  I can’t remember.  I mostly just remember looking at these two people and liking it but wishing I could see the other two people.  I assume it was Another Two People.  Couldn’t tell for certain!  The point is Lyrics Are A Lot.  I LIKE EM.  Time to start writing GOOD ones, that’d be an interesting direction for me to go in!  Yeah.  I think I wrote the majority of the lyrics to the songs I’ve written In My Life ON LOCATION.  In-between classes and whatknot.  On public transportation.  Waiting Around For A Thing To Happen.  Stuff like that!  I don’t have that blessing anymore!  Being In-Between Activities without anything to do!  Well surely I can figure out a way to duplicate that feeling somehow.
    Maybe!  It’s possible I can and it’s possible I can’t!  Hey Siri WHAT ARE THE ODDS Michael Jackson raped kids so I can see if I should see this movie or not.  I’m under the impression it’s 95%+.  But maybe it’s only like 50%!  Is Siri still around.  SURE SIRI NEVER LEFT!  That’s not good.  I can always see The Devil Wears Prada II but that seems EVIL to see.  For some reason something about that title feels like it implies Prada Is Even Worse Than The Devil.  The Devil is bad but Prada makes The Devil Even More Evil because that’s what the Devil would want THUS PRADA IS EVEN MORE EVIL THAN THE DEVIL THEMSELVES.  Also I don’t know what Prada is.  Some sort of clothing fashion thing.  Probably a Brand of things.  Prada backwards is Adarp.  Imagine finding out through palindromes that you’ve been Adarpted.  Huh.  Anyway.  I don’t love the original Devil Wears Prada.  Maybe it’s over my head but I find it kind of corny!  Oh look everyone is dissing everyone else beneath them for being lame.  Great.  Amazing.  What’s so clever about this!  We’ve established I barely know what Prada is!  It’s very likely a lot is going over my head!  Anyway.  Anyway.  If Fashion is so Fashion shouldn’t the Devil be wearing something new 20 years later?  If the Devil is STILL WEARING THE SAME THING so many years later then my feeling is The Devil is Falling Behind The Times?  That might be what the movie is about.  Oh ok good.
    Anyway.  For me the height of male fashion is jeans and a t-shirt.  Anything beyond that confuses and scares me.  Women should wear what they want.  I don’t get any of it.  I’ll leave it to them to figure out!  They could try jeans and t-shirt, too!  Works for me!  Maybe they’d get a kick out of it as well.  Anyway.  I don’t think too much about what I wear but I do take note about what T-shirt am I up to in my cycle.  I get excited sometimes when it’s A Good T-Shirt that’s up!  Plus, each shirt lasts about half a week.  So when I’m ready to wear one of the better t-shirts, I know that’s gonna last me half a week, I get enthusiastic about that!  So I’m into fashion A LITTLE BIT is what I’m trying to say!  Anyway.  What else is up.  Looks like my next book will be about The Misfits.  They sound okay!  I tried listening to them and they sound like The Ramones but scarier!  Like from a graveyard.  Nothing wrong with that.  WOW I just looked it up and Leader Glenn Danzig is listed as 5’3.  I know nothing else about him but he must be a good person if he’s extremely short.  Oh no I just looked him up by looking at Personal Life on Wikipedia and he might be a Bad Person!  Anyway.  Great.
    Anyway.  I imagine if Prince was a foot taller he’d have called himself King.  Just seems to be the case!  Michael Jackson was the King Of Pop.  I thought Coca Cola was.  Try telling that to Dr. Pepper!  Anyway.  I wonder if Sgt Pepper was related to Dr. Pepper.  And actor Barry Pepper.  The only one who’s REAL.  Dr. Pepper is kind of real.  On a sliding scale I feel like Dr. Pepper is more real than Sgt. Pepper and obviously Barry Pepper is even more real than the both of them.  I don’t know what that means.  Dr. Pepper COMMITS the most to being who he is I think.  Out of the three of them!  That’s not true.  I don’t think I’ve ever once seen or heard from Dr. Pepper.  His presence is more implied than anything.  Well great moving on.  I’m a Pepsi Guy.  I’ve been drinking Coke Brand Soda lately for years because it’s what’s available and/or cheaper but I PREFER DIET PEPSI as my cola of choice!  It’s the best!  Passes the taste test!  Looks and sounds better as a word!  Is more of an ALT brand!  It’s just the right thing to do, dirnking Pepsi!  And let’s circle back to it Tasting Better because that part is important.  The Devil Drinks Pepsi.  That could be a movie I could write based on my experience I guess.  Although I still don’t understand the original movie I’d be referencing SO NOT NECESSARILY.  Whatever that’s all!  See ya later.

-4:00 P.M.

APRIL 28 2026

    Okay.  Tonight is concert night!  Hopefully I get something out of it.  Life affirming experience.  I don’t need a life CHANGING experience.  My life is gonna continue on the path it’s sort of set on.  But it’d be nice to have an experience that makes me feel happy anew about the path that my life seems to be on!  Concerts can do that kinda thing to a degree.  Get on board.  Anyway.  Been reading a Velvet Underground book.  I dunno!  Jacket of the book isn’t even made out of velvet for an immersive reading experience.  I dunno.  Maybe it’s just this book but they seem to take themselves about 33% too seriously.  YES IT’S GOOD they majorly influenced 60 years of music and/or culture for the better but C’MON let’s talk about something else for a while.  ANYTHING ELSE ON YOUR MIND?  This is a book about the Velvet Underground.  YEAH I’VE READ ABOUT IT FOR 120 PAGES.  LET’S TALK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE FOR A MINUTE.  If I ever write a book I’ll just have minor interruptions here and there with mini chapters totally unrelated to the rest.  Like commercials!  But they’re not advertisements.  More just Happy Little Fun Breaks.  For YOU.  The reader!  Anyway.  Lou Reed!  Another Jew from Long Island.  ANOTHER exact demographic I can identify with.  There’s lots of us out there!  Queens, NY is on Long Island so I count ‘em as the same when convenient.  Often same general environment.  The point is I GET IT I’m from similar place.
    Okay.  Lou Reed had electroshock treatment when he was a teenager.  I GET IT.  It turned him into Electro is my theory.  But his power was using electric guitar adequately.  Anyway.  You often hear the cliché of Mediocre Musicians who, “Only Know Three Chords.”  I always assumed that meant they only literally know three chords out of the NOTES chords can portray like A, Bb, B, C, C#, whatever.  There’s 12.  So you only know literally how to make three notes that makes you a mediocre musician.  NOW I THINK it’s a reference to You know Three ways to make a chord.  The cliché of the mediocre musician is the one who knows three ways to make a chord.  There’s the standard E chord with an E low string that can be transposed up and down the fretboard to make different chords.  There’s the A chord likewise on those strings.  Then there’s a D chord with an open D string which, too, can be moved up and down the fretboard.  THIS MIGHT BE WHAT PEOPLE MEAN when they say they talk about people only knowing three chords.  They know how to play All The Chords but Three Ways.  Oh Ok Good.  STUPID ME.  I just always heard people say All ya need to know is three chords and I go HMM THAT’S WEIRD ADVICE.  Tellin’ people they really only need to know, say, the chords A, D, and E for all their multitude of songs.  MUST BE RIGHT THOUGH!  It was nice to be misinformed though.  Encourages the imagination.  If you can write 80 songs with just 3 chords AS I THOUGHT imagine WHAT I CAN ACCOMPLISH with WHAT I KNOW!
   Don’t imagine what I can accomplish.  Listen To It!  Wherever possible.  It’s out there.  Anyway.  Read this first!  FIRST things first!  You could always read and listen at the same time.  That might be too much!  That’d be like some Exploding Plastic Initiative shit!  Your brain wouldn’t be able to handle it!  Anyway.  I’m not a fan of how John Cale was friends and musically related to John Cage.  Those names are way too similar to be musically associated.  Pretty sure in the past if I knew who John Cale was I might have assumed they were the same person.  That’s music for ya.  THAT’S MUSIC FOR YA.  Who came up with Plastic Something first, Andy Warhol or John Lennon/Yoko Ono?  Looks like Warhol was ahead by a year or two.  Great.  Who Cares.  That’s not an interesting sidestep of a comment!  I’m not happy about including it!  WELL MOVING FORWARD.   WAR HALL?  More like WAR ROOM.  That’s what The Factory was.  They plotted and planned their arts and excursions.  This book about The Velvet Underground talked too much about Andy Warhol.  I learned ~50% more about him and it than I needed to.  Do they call the subway in Europe, “The Underground?”  That really raises the stakes of this bandname I feel if you live in that area.  Lemme LTURQ.  Hmm YEAH MOSTLY LONDON.  YEAH.  Velvet Underground has SECRET LONDON CODING.
    Who doesn’t.  Okay.  Oh Velvet Underground WILL THEY EVER get Above Ground.  My guess is NO.  NEVER!  There’s Velvet going on underground, though, so they’re having fun either way.  Anyway.  This wasn’t a “Funny,” entry.  Not in the sense that it was, “Funny.”  But I guess it’s amusing anyway.  Pretty sure Velvet Underground is New York coded.  That’s what they want you to think.  Maybe because it’s accurate I don’t know.  ANYWAY.  When I was a kid I interpreted Andy Warhol as if Society Has Bought In Completely.  He’s the Campbells Soup Guy and Guess What RESPECT HIM AND IT.  IT’S GOOD ART.  Now I realize He’s A Weirdo And Guess What That’s Pretty Much It.  He could be a good, interesting, important, artistic weirdo!  Whose art is sometimes worthy of our attention maybe!  But I’m not sure, I don’t think he should just be accepted as canon And Let’s Leave It At That!  But Michael you’re not an Art Critic you have no say.  Oh good point.  Either way maybe his life and what he did Was Interesting and it’s worth looking at and being like What Happened There.  Plus he helped get the Velvet Underground get started to a point!  Great!  Anyway.  At least he was trying something new.  That’s better than nothing.  I can respect that I guess now that I think about it.  But Michael half the time he was literally just reproducing pictures of something that exists.  That’s conceptually antithetical of trying something new.  It’s just copying what already exists.  Huh.  I dunno.  It’s good we’re having this discussion though. 
  Sure.  I like ART.  Any art is better than no art, right?  Could be.  Anyway watching High Fidelity makes me wanna do Top Five Lists.  Makes it seem so appealing and fun!  Ok Top Five Favorite Break-Ups.  I haven’t broken up enough times for that!  I haven’t had anything to break up from!  Just my Good Luck I guess.  I guess I can’t do Top Five Favorites then.  Need to be JUICY.  I got nothin’ for ya there!  If you add an, “IT,” to Juicy you get JEW CITY which is New York City Coded.  New York City isn’t that Jewish.  I’ve been in and out of NYC a lot of times and frankly I don’t engage with Jewishness all that often!   I dunno, maybe it’s like that thing where you don’t notice your own smell yourself because it’s you yourself.  Hmm.  I don’t think so.  Because when I do see Jewishness I do notice it.  Anyway.  Velvet is fun to touch I guess but how much fun can you really have touching it before you get bored.  5-15 seconds!  After that you move on with your life.  Are some caskets lined with velvet.  And that’s what THE VELVET UNDERGROUND is?  Did I crack a code or am I off base.  We’ll find out AFTER THIS BREAK (The Break Is Me LTURQ).  Yes many caskets are lined with velvet especially high end ones.  Good.  Another meaning figured out.  Let’s move on with our lives.  Well the entry is done.  Let’s move on with our lives Separately.  I’ll see ya later though!  Maybe soon!  Bye!

-3:15 P.M.

APRIL 23 2026    

    That’s fine.  Anyway, hey!  Today… is Tuesday.  Got a music class tonight on account of going to concert Thursday night.  That will haunt me all entry.  GOT A THING TO DO TONIGHT.  I only have Way More Than Enough Time Still!  Anyway.  I watched half of the High Fidelity TV Series reboot from That Year Of Years 2020.  Could you call that a mini-series?  It was only one season!  Either way I like it.  Is it kind of unrealistic a record store would exist in 2020?  I dunno.  Lemme LURQ how many record stores exist right now in America.  My guess is 300!  I might just be thinking of the movie 300 as I always am.  Anyway The Internet says there’s 1,400-2,000!  WOW.  I could like records.  I should become a record guy.  That would take up too much time and money and spirit.  I don’t have it in me to add that to my life right now.  How was everyone’s 420.  AM I RIGHT.  YEA BOY.  42 0.  Celebrate Jackie Robinson and Zero.  What zero.  The dog from Nightmare Before Christmas.  The Smashing Pumpkins song.  The number and/or concept Indians (South Asian) came up with.  I dunno.  I don’t wanna give too much credit to the Indians for Zero.  I BET if I was alive before they came up with Zero I’D HAVE COME UP WITH ZERO.  I’m a big zero so surely I’d thought of zero myself.  Zero Mostel.  That guy.
    Mostel seems like a close anagram for molest and that must have haunted Zero Mostel his entire life.  Anyway the latest new songs I have for School Of Rock are probably the last songs for this season before our show in six weeks or so but I had a nightmare we had like two more rounds of new songs to learn left.  HORRIFYING.  Wait what’s the name of the guy who played the principal in Billy Madison.  YEAH!  Josh Mostel.  SON of Zero Mostel.  NEPO BABY.  Never put two and two together before.  Every now and then I realize NEPO is OPEN backwards.  It happens pretty often because we are BOMBARDED by the wordOpen in our every day life!  SO me being me I naturally want to come up with some sort of palindrome there.  Hmm.  We’ll see!  I’ll come around to it at some point.  Anyway.  In a way we are all Nepo Babies because we descend from The True Best, Adam and Eve.  Or Noah and Whomever if you prefer that.  Who the Hell was Noah’s Wife.  Internet says there’s a controversy around this!  She’s not named in the Bible but one possible answer is EMZARA.  Another is NAAMAH.  Look we all descend from this lady.  Get your story straight.  I wanna know one of my greatest grandmother’s name!  Anyway.  What if I don’t believe in Judeo-Christian Bible.  Well we’re still Nepo Babies anyway.  You got a leg up from some sort of other animal.  If a horse applies to a job you got an advantage over them from being Same Species as The Hiring Person.  Unless the job is pulling a carriage.  Then we’ll see.
   Anyway.  We’re a third into spring.  Spring FORWARD.  Fall BEHIND.  Summer BUMMER.  Winter SPLINTER.  Huh.  Spring and Fall didn’t rhyme why did Summer and Winter have to.  I’M TRYING TO IMPROVE ON THE FORMULA.  Anyway.  Sroods Nepo Baby Bab Opens Doors?  WHO OR WHAT IS SROODS?  Anyway.  I coulda been a Nepo Baby.  My dad was an Assistant Principal in a high school.  If I wanted to go into teaching as I almost did, his connections could have HELPED me!  He was very well respected!  I chose to go in a different direction.  Live at home and write and play Guitar Sometimes.  We’ll see if it pays off in the long run.  OH NO I’m sitting here with my guitar and I just forgot how to play one of the older SOR songs from January because one of the new songs has a similar riff that has now DISPLACED the older one.  That’s easy enough to fix.  LOOK UP THE OLDER ONE ONCE MORE.  Oh ok good thanks.  If I were Zero Mostel I woulda named my sonZero Minus One or something.  Like the Godzilla movie.  What was that called?  Godzilla Minus Zero?  I never saw it.  I tried watching it but it was boring for a Godzilla movie.  Possibly because I wasn’t paying attention.  They should make some sort of app technology that syncs your phone and your TV so that it trains you to watch your TV better.  So when you’re watching TV and you idly look at your phone GUESS WHAT YOU’RE JUST WATCHING WHAT’S ON YOUR TV AGAIN.  Jokes on you!
   Anyway.  Great.  I had the Fiddler On The Roof soundtrack for my old Cheap-For-Kids Record Player.  For a play calledFiddler On The Roof not a lot of songs that are just Fiddles and I’m confident NONE were recorded on rooftop!  Have I made this joke before—Fiddler On The Roof sounds like a horror movie. Goodnight son.  Be good and quiet or the Fiddler On The Roof will get ya.  Sounds like a joke I’ve made five times before.  Wait a second.  I assumed he was a Musician Fiddler.  Maybe he’s just FIDDLIGN AROUND on the roof.  Just working around with things on the roof.  Like being a handyman or something.  Working on the gutters.  HMM.  Either way that was an ok musical.  I remember watching the film version as a kid thinkingI’m a little Jewish and this is really Jewish. Huh.  Interesting.  But I guess the premise of the play/film is that Even THIS Is A Compromise On How Jewish You Can Get! Great.  Anyway.  Actually I dunno if I ever thoughtI’m a little Jewish as a response to anything as a kid.  I wouldn’t have thought that!  I might have FELT it somewhat.  But I wouldn’t have thought that.  I’d have consciously thought of myself as Just Secular And Atheist.  So that’s good.  Not a good time to be Jewish these days in the world today!  Not a good time to be anybody!  SO IT’S A GOOD TIME TO BE A NOBODY?  Hmm.  That could work out for me!
    Anyway.  I guess I’ll skip the Michael Jackson movie.  But on the other hand after writing that sentence I have a burst of On The Second Handness that makes me feel maybe I should see it.  I’d Hear Good Music In Surround Sound. That ain’t nothing!  IT’S ALSO NOT A LOT.  Hmm.  Apparently the person playing Michael Jackson is Michael Jackson’s nephew.  PHEW.  There’s some nepotism.  But people like that kind of nepotism.  HEY IT’S YOU.  YOU’RE LIKE THAT DEAD GUY.  YOU’RE AS CLOSE TO THE DEAD GUY AS WE CAN GET.  PHEW.  That’s something people get a kick out of.  His name is Jaafar Jackson.  Named after the bad guy in Alladin?  Possibly!  Not necessarily but we also can’t say definitely not either.  Whatever.  Alladin is a good musical too, like Fiddler.  But they never madeFiddler On The Roof into a Sega Genesis game as far as I know!  If they did make it a video game I assume it’d be a Guitar Hero thing but You’re Fiddling On A Roof.  Michael you said you saw the play.  THERE IS NO FIDDLING ON ROOFS.  Oh okay thanks.  Jermaine Jackson presumably wanted to continue the tradition of keeping his kid a J.J. like himself.  I guess Jafaar was the first, “J,” that came to mind!  How come he never thought of James.  SORRY DOESN’T RING A BELL.  What about Jack.  NEVER HEARD OF IT.  Jason.  HUH?  Anyway.  That’s all for now.  See ya later!

-3:23 P.M.

APRIL 21 2025

    Okay.  Hey!  How did everyone’s Midweek go.  I’ve trained myselve to like the midweek.  I get a BREAK.  I got music classes on Monday and Thursday.  I got writing entries on Tuesday and Thursday.  I got a break on Wednesday!  We can trick ourselves into liking life based on PACING.  By which I mean both (1) carefully tracking our activities and also (2) walking back and forth obsessively.  Also Pace University.  How about that crap.  That could be a Number Three!  Rule of Threes.  Comedy is the rule of threes.  I kinda HAD to include Pace University in this riff if I wanted to be funny!  Anyway, I know going #1 and #2 in the bathroom but what’s #3?  I guess throwing up.  That deserves Being A Number so it slots in nicely.  But it’s not so much of an escalation from #2, though, so I’m not so sure.  #3 should be exponentially more extreme than #2 and throwing up COULD BE BIG but isn’t always.  Whatever it is, Going #3 in the toilet needs to be AN EVENT to say the least.  Maybe this joke is going #3.  It’s a META-moment.  Okay.  Anyway.  I don’t wanna have a Meta-moment!  The Metaverse is strange!  Some weird ass Second Life knockoff bullshit.  No thanks.  Why would anyone think that was a good idea that anyone would be interested in.  Now let me get back to my nonsense blog for no one. 
    I was playing guitar in lobby-receptionist area before SOR class on Monday like always and they told me to stop!  Said in case the lobbyist (AS THEY SHUOLD BE CALLED) had to make a phone call I would be disturbing them.  So I walked out of the room and played guitar in the hallway right outside the lobby.  I ADAPT.  Anyway.  Documentary about Lorne Michaels is just calledLorne.  Not enough information for people who don’t know!  What if it’s about The Raven’s love interest!  That’s not their name.  It’s Pretty Close though, we can’t count out that their name got misinterpreted at some point!  Ok well then I think that’s it. No other Lorne!  I was prepared to riff on 1-3 other minor popular or historical figures named LORNE out there that this movie might be about.  BUT THERE ARE NONE.  I looked it up!  Absolutely NO ONE else named Lorne ever made their mark!  Go figure.  Older people might recognize actor, “Lorne Greene,” but people my age and younger WON’T.  And Children Are The Future so that settles that.  “Children Are The Future,” is lowkey A TRICK.  It implies they ARE NOT THE PRESENT.  Present is what counts.  PRESENT?  THAT’S WHERE I AM RIGHT NOW!  Especially living in a society that seems to have mostly given up on the future.  Children being the future is a cruel joke in a world that’s decided The Future Is Optional!
    Anyway.  Looks like I’m going to the New Pornographers show next week!  Great!  I like them.  I’m looking forward to being 3 inches taller than the last several times I’ve been to my favorite bands’ concerts.  I will be able to see the show several inches more!  Should be good.  I’ve been reading a lot of music books, some of which have been about punk bands.  We’re still supposed to spit on the band right.  That’s what I’m prepared to do!  Michael that’s wrong.  That only happened in a very specific subculture a long time ago.  Oh okay thanks.  I don’t think I can spit that much anyway!  The amount of spit I’m imagining that was the proper amount to spit on the band in British Classic Punk Spit is like 5x the amount of spit I could conjure up even if I spent a lot of time working up all the spit I could muster!  DO I HAVE LESS MOUTH MOISTURE or did THEY HAVE TOO MUCH.  I dunno.  Anyway.  Their opening act is A Guy From A Band I Know Of!  Doesn’t get much better than that.  I know and like ONE of the songs from this band so I’m very invested in This Guy.  Anyway.  I saw the New Pornographers once before.  It was a good time!  I remember making eye contact with one of them at one point during a song and being likeNow I’m part of the music!  Music alone is pretty good but when it’s combined with human interaction it takes it to another level!
    Sure.  Music alone IS Human Interaction.  Oh.  Okay.  I don’t know about that.   I dunno.  Maybe I’ll see the new The Mummy this weekend.  I have good feelings about this franchise because I was born in 1920 and liked The Mummy film from the 1930’s.  YEAH.  Anyway sure I liked the Brendan Fraiser movie but there’s practically 0% inside me that makes me feel likeSure I liked that movie so of course I’d like any other movie that has the word, “Mummy,” in the title but otherwise is a completely different movie.  I don’t know why movie studio would assume We Audience would feel any different.  Movie studio got their own agenda.  They’re up to something!  They keep giving us weird different mediocre Mummies on SOME logical basis I JUST DON’T KNOW WHAT IT IS.  Is there a band name with Mummy in the title.  Seems like there should be.  Unless it’s copyrighted by Universal.  Well what if you’re signed to Universal.  Then Great I’m Happy It’s All Working Out For You.  Hmm.  There’s Mumford and Sons.  Great.  Get out of my house.  Anyway.  I never saw the original The Mummy but I THINK I know how to deal with the monster—BRISKLY WALK AWAY?  I could be wrong.  Could be misinterpreting the villain’s powers?  But from my understanding A SLOW JOG should be able to get you to safety?
    Anyway.  I guess you could say the same thing about Old Fashioned Slow Zombies.  But when there’s Slow Zombies there’s A LOT OF THEM around to worry about.  There’s just ONE MUMMY to keep track of.  Important distinction!  Some British Kids might have Two Mummies IT’S OKAY IT’S NATURAL THAT’S HOW SOME FAMILIES WORK.  Hey shut up.  Anyway.  For a while there people were really into Ancient Egypt.  Good.  It’s better to be into SOME History than NO history.  And Egypt was pretty Hoppin!  Shit was happening!  When you learn World History in high school A LOT is devoted to Egypt History simply because SO MUCH OF THE STUFF THAT HAPPENED happened there.  THEY DID PYRAMIDS.  LOOK AT IT.  You didn’t do the pyramids. THEY DID.  Anyway.  How come you can’t chooseHieroglyphics as a foreign language in high school.  I know it’s a dead language I don’t care.  MY FREEDOM MY CHOICE.  No written language is ever really dead.  AS long as it’s there IT’S STILL TEHRE.  Spanish was one of the 2 or 3 classes I failed and had to re-take in High School.  One of the levels of Spanish.  Chemistry.  Possibly a third.  JOKES ON YOU.  I took more raw classes overall than my peers!  I got more out of school it looks like!  I win.  Spanish Chemistry.  Is that thing.  Combine em up?  Anyway.  I’m done.  I’ll see ya next week.

APRIL 16 2026      

    You know it!  Time for some Crazysheet.  That’s what I’ll be doing now.  Gonna be interrupted halfway through the entry to go pick up some laundry.  From the laundromat.  Then later on in the evening when it’s over I’ll get some dinner.  From the dinermat.  Later on some more I’ll take a shower in the showermat.  Then even more later on I’ll go to bed.  Sleeping on a… mat…that checks out I guess.  EXCUSE ME I BELIEVE IT’S CALLED A MatTTRESS.  Us people and our precious words.  If I wanna say I sleep on a mat I can say I sleep on a mat!  MAYBE I sleep on a rubber mat that they use for public school gymnasiums you don’t know.  I think after Rubber Soul the Beatles should have putRubber before every record title.  Rubber Revolver.  Rubber Magical Mystical Tour.  Rubber (Self Titled).  You get the idea.  Once you do something you gotta commit to it I feel!  THAT’S HOW MUSIC WORKS!  Anyway I’m getting better at the couple of blues songs I was having trouble with.  Still can’t play them the way they’re supposed to be played.  But I can play them Badly Well.  I can play SOMETHING in Silence’s Place.  It won’t sound good.  But you’re gonna hear something happen instead of nothing.  “That sounds like an amateur succeeding in TRYING to play the guitar!”  Something like that.
   Anyway.  Got three new songs assigned to me including the very exciting Johnny B Goode.  Gonna have to Marty McFly it up.  My whole life has led to this.  Anyway.  The title Johnny B Goode lives very much in the same universe as Good Will Hunting.  YEAH.  I should ask band and teacher if I could do dialogue from Back To The Future before we play the song.  Confusing Many but Amusing Some!  I don’t think I’m gonna do that.  Oh well.  “This song is an oldie but a goodie.. well it’s an oldie where I come from…”  I’d be amused if I was in the audience seeing that!  And partly confused I Guess.  GREAT.  Anyway.  I also found out the theme for the songs we’re gonna do over Summer.90’s Rock.  WOW.  Delightful!  I think I can really groove this kinda music!  The kind of music I’m assuming it is!  MAYBE It’s the music The Rolling Stones and other similar-aged legends will be putting out ten years from now.  When they’re in THEIR 90’S.  THAT KIND OF 90’S ROCK.  All about what it’s like to be in your 90’s.  We wanna relate to that!  How about rock where you only play in the 9’s on the fret board on the guitar.  Also zeroes I guess.  I don’t.. wha… NO.  OH NO I might have to tune my guitar back and forth a lot.  ALT ROCK IS ALT TUNING everyone knows that.  Alt Rock dominated the 90’s.  We’re assuming that’s what 90’s rock will focus on.  You know what happens when you assume.  SURE I DO.  I ASSUME ALL THE TIME OF COURSE I KNOW WHAT HAPPENS I’M USED TO IT.  ALL I DO IS ASSUME.  VERY COMMON ACTIVITY.
   Anyway.  I guess it’s time for some more things to say.  Why is a documentary about Lorne Michaels being shown in my local movie theater.  I might see it!  But why is it there?  I don’t understand this universe.  I don’t like this galaxy either.  I don’t GET galaxies.  Galaxies are really big but they’re small compared to universes but they’re EXTREMELY BIG STILL so overallconfusing I DON’T LIKE BEING CONFUSED?  THERE’S WAY MORE STARS AND WHATKNOT OUT THERE than I imagine as baseline.  I know logically they tell us how much stars and galaxies and etc. there are.  But in my head I still imagine the universe being about .0001% as big as it is!  Not just in empty space, but how much it’s composed of stuff.  SO MUCH STUFF OUT THERE I DON’T BELIEVE IT.  Anyway.  I do like the nameThe Milky Way though.  Kinda indie.  Offbeat a little.  Something weird but lyrical about it that I appreciate!   I remember as a kid being confused being toldhey look at that constellation in the sky… That’s The Milky Way!  UH… I THOUGHT WE WERE IN THE MILKY WAY.  How can THAT be that Milky Way.  I’M IN THE MILKY WAY.  How can something far away be the Milky Way?!  It makes sense a little but also is pretty dumb a lot.  For a kid it’s insightful.  For an adult you should just shut your mouth and pretend you understand everything.
   Anyway.  I should be able to play Johnny B Goode but can I prance like Chuck Berry and/or Michael J Fox while I’m doing it?  People want to see Me Make A Fool Of Myself.  DO A PRANCE during the song.  CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE MUSIC PERFORMANCE.  But with no ill will.  AnywayJust Went TO Laundromat.  It was great!  I’m back already!  How come there’s not a famous rapper namedIll Will.  Seems like we should have gotten to that a long time ago.  At this point it’s kinda too late I think!  There’s probably some people out there who thought to call themselvesIll Will.  They just never really caught on!*  Anyway.  I think this entire time Chuck Berry really wishes he was a Bell Player.  He plays his guitar just like he’s ringing a bell.  The subtext is THE NARRATOR WISHES HE WAS RINGING A BELL.  Sad that he never figured that out for himself!  Stuck playing the guitar his entire life and not ringing a bell as far as I know.  I never saw any movie about Chuck Berry’s life so I don’t know.  I saw The Life Of Chuck but IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM!  Anyway so I was just looking at google and apparently Chuck Berry’s ONLY #1 hit wasMy Ding-A-Ling.  So make of that what you will!  I THINK IT ALL ADDS UP.
    Ok.  Anyway.  What else is up.  I think it’s great that the people born after the 90’s in my class are still excited about 90’s Rock.  Maybe there’s something intangible about that music that’s good and I don’t Really Like It just because It Was My Turn To Like That Music based on when I was born and/or when I grew up.  Anyway.  I hope we get some mostly good 90’s rock but also some Cheesy 90’s rock.  Like MATCHBOX 20.  NOT A LOT.  Just 1 or 2 generic nostalgia crowdpleasers.  I AM SMART I think there should be “cringe” songs in the setlist.  If I ask for it first then when we’re assigned it I can say I asked for it first.  Great.  How about CHUMBAWUMBA.  You idiots.  I dunno.  It’s not my job to pick.   I just play the songs!  Ideally without emotion and off to the side!  I play them with emotion.  I FEEL THINGS.  I feel like I Wanna Get It Right.  When I play I feel likeI Wish I Practiced This More I Wanna Get This Right And Then Onto The Next Song Which I Wanna Get Right Too Despite Not Practicing Enough.  IT’S EMOTION. If you can’t see that in the audience then THAT’S ON YOU REALLY.  Learn how to read people.  Okay.  Anyway.  What if Marty McFly played an original song at his parents’ high school dance.  How would that have changed the world.  Would it have been for the better or for worse.  We’ll never know I guess but I think it would have been more honest of him!  I think we all wanna hear aPinheads song!  Anyway.  I’ll see ya later.

-4:15 P.M.

APRIL 14 2026        

*Nas had a friend named Ill WIll apparently. He never caught on cause he died young. I suppose Ill Will left some sort of ILL WILL dictating the distribution of his leftovers to his loved ones. THANKS

    Sure.  “This’s,” should be a word.  Maybe it is!  Anyway I might see Faces Of Death this weekend.  What’s a good face of death.  Tongue sticking out and going cross eyed.  That’s my first instinct.  Another one is X’s over the eyes and stiches over the mouth.  That makes sense.  I don’t wanna look at the dead!  I try to avoid registering what faces the dead are making.  This might not be the movie for me then.  IT’S FICTION.  It’s make believe.  IT’s play pretend!  I think I can handle a little bit of Fool Arounding!  And if not I can always exit the theater the same way I got in.  Not the emergency exit.  Some theaters have regular exit and emergency exit and several of the times I almost accidently take emergency exit potentially causing a huge problem!  If I go through Emergency Exit DoorsI assume sprinklers will automatically go off and a voice will come down telling everyone to remain calm and vacate the building.  I dunno!  Anyway.  GOT MY NEW SHOESES.  I ordered new pairs of regular sneakers and new pair of elevation shoes.  Both same exact models of old pairs.  Got em both.    Old Elevation Shoes, worn for close to three years, For Sale, Not For Babies, poor condition.  Is that a poem.  Well it’s not a craigslist listing.
    Anyway.  I am a big fan of horror films but I never seen the original Faces Of Death.  Dose that qualify as a horror film?  What percent of the things in Faces Of Death are actually real deaths.  I’m under the impression it’s SOME.  Google says it’s about 50/50.  But the biggest, most graphic ones are fake!  Great.  I don’t think I wanna see that.  Then again I often feel like I have nothing to watch when I’m watching TV and one day that might be available to me and I might be open to watching to it, I dunno!  How about Faces Of LIFE.  And it’s about births.  That’s even more disturbing to me.  I’d puke seeing lots of births.  I’ve seen some births here and there.  They sneak graphic births into films and TV and whatknot! I’ve been desensitized to that perversion of life!  How about Faces Of WORKPLACE ACCIDENTS.  Just people getting injured on the job.  I guess that’s okay.  Nice middle ground.  I can handle something like that.  As long as it’s not too serious.  But also not TOO UNSERIOUS where there’s no stakes, either!  Gotta be a nice middle ground to their Getting Hurt!  Anyway.  I don’t care. I don’t!  My Mom told me a few years ago to buy black shoes so that when they get dirty you won’t notice as much and that’s one of the most profound things she’s ever said.  I’m not used to giving my mom credit for lots of things but it’s hard to argue with that.  It makes sense!
    Anyway.  Of course my first reaction was fuck that let other people worry about that crap I’m buying grey sneakers.  But this time around I was like Maybe my Mom was right.  I’ll go with the black this time around.  Good.  How are the people doing In Space.  What if they just decide to not come back.  Do they kind of become our Gods.  They live up in the sky.  And there’s nothing we can do about it!  Sounds like Gods to me.  Anyway something to think about.  But Michael they have no power.  They can drop waste on us!  Off the top of my head that’s one thing.  You wouldn’t like that.  You thought that panoramic picture of Earth was a nice thing.  THAT SHIT WAS A RANSOM NOTE.  Anyway.  If Gavin Newsom Ran for president… RAN….Ransom.. New… RAN… Ransom…. What the Hell Is going on there…  The best thing about Gavin Newsom that doesn’t get enough press is his first name.  Gavin!  Delightful!  That’s probably his best attribute!  These are the thing mainstream commentators won’t talk about.  Only ancillary stream commentators like ME.  I love the name Gavin but I wouldn’t be surprised if Newsom himself was a self-hating Gavin.  Just based on the way he carries himself.  I DUNNO.  Something to think about!  Anyway.  “The Spirit Of Gavin.”  Is that something? Is it anything?  I dunno.  It’s Giving nothing.
   That’s a phrase.  It’s GIVING …  I heard it somewhere musta been television!  It’s weird how a lot of people live lives and then a lot of people just watch television.  Different ways to go about your time on this planet!  IT’S A SLIDING SCALE.  Most people live some fraction of a life and also watch some fraction of television whether its on TV or the internet!  YEAH.  Anyway.  Is there a thing where I can choose to have my corpse sent into outerspace when I’m dead.  Or maybe I can be cremated and then sent into outerspace if that’s more convenient.  I wanna get as far away from you assholes as possible!  That’s pretty much my top priority when I’m dead.  Accomplish what I couldn’t in life!  GET THE HELL AWAY FROM YOU PEOPLE.  Anyway.  In the meantime let’s be friends!  Okay.  I always felt like I wouldn’t wanna be cremated on the small, off chance zombification occurs.  I wanna leave myself a window to become the undead no matter how unlikely it is.  What’s the benefit TO ME to be cremated.  NOTIN.  On the other hand If I keep a body I’M STILL IN THE GAME.  But Michael every time we see corpses returning to life in fiction they never seem happy or having a good time or pleased to be back. Why would you want that experience.  We don’t know how it’ll play out in real life!  Maybe it won’t be so bad!
   Anyway.  I don’t feel sick anymore.  Haven’t felt sick in maybe 48 hours!  I haven’t felt sick since watching 48 hours with Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte!  Nick Doesn’t Take Nolte For An Answer!  Guy going to see the film 48 Hours when it first came out and being ready to be in the theater for the next two days. IS THAT A THING.  What’s the longest regular popular movie of the last century.  Internet says CLEOPATRA (1963) clocking in at 4 hours.  WOW.  I CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT.  I can make a movie that’s 5 hours.  I’m really talented, see!  I can make the longest movie ever if that’s what it came to!  Anyway when I was a kid I remember Titanic came out and was over three hours and that was like an EVENT.  Its absurd length was part of its novelty!  So that’s good.  Anyway.  When I went to see Titanic I was around 8 and some old lady goes to me before the movie You know this really happened!  And instead of internally rolling my eyes and saying Yeah I know I shoulda been a jerk and said Yeah You Should Know You Were There Right!  BURNED.  I’m still upset I missed a burn 30 years ago.  I’m not much of a burner.  Maybe then I was.  Other kids.  Not now.  I don’t burn people.  MAYBHE I SHUOLD START.  I dunno at the time being on Titanic wouldn’t necessarily make her Insanely Comically Old.  Titanic sinking was only 85 years before this movie theater interaction!  Ugh.  Anyway that’s all.  I’ll see ya later.

-3:48 P.M.

APRIL 9 2026

    Whatever.  How’s everyone doing?  What’s on YOUR mind?  Who cares.  What’s on MY Mind, that’s what people wanna read about!  Okay.  I don’t have things on my mind.  I just DO things.  I think that’s pretty universal.  I guess I think a little bit about the things I’m doing and have done recently and the things that I have coming up!  Either way my personal life is going okay but on a global scale it’s terrifying.  As long as I can tune out Everything I’m pretty happy. I don’t want to tune everything out though.  I go out of my way to stay informed IT’S IMPORTANT.  Got some jerk threatening a civilization with nuclear weapons on social media.  NO THANKS.  I’m not, “Down,” with that sort of thing!  Anyway I was sick all night.  I took the covid vaccine booster yesterday morning and it kicked in last night!  Great!  That’s how you know it’s working.  Couldn’t stay asleep because of a huge shoulderache and feeling weak and feverish and whatknot.  Stayed in bed today until around 2:30 PM.  NOW I FEEL OK FOR NOW.  Started re-binge watching RENO 9/11.  Good show!  Makes me laugh.  I’d rather watch comedy TV than live in fear and think about it and face the facts that we’re ruled by evil greedy insane people and no one seems to be willing to do anything about it.  Sometimes I can watch comedy TV AND live in fear and think about it and face the facts that we’re ruled by evil greedy insane people etc.  Multi-task!
    Cool.  I dunno.  We’ll figure something out!  Doesn’t seem like it.  SURE WE WILL.  YOU’LL SEE.  I for one am against the country I live in and support with my tax dollars doing Ethnic Cleansing.  Gotta make my truth heard!  I don’t find that kind of position or action acceptable from a representative or leader!  Anyway.  What else is going on.  Maybe if I was a better person I’d live in a better universe.  If I put betterness out there I’d get butterness back.  THIS IS ALL MY FAULT I guess.  Hmm.  In what way am I a bad person.  Just kind of an asshole all in all when you think about it.  Oh Okay.  I guess I kinda don’t relate to people well.  Is that a sin.  Is that one of the ten commandments. Thou Shalt Relate To Everyone And Get On With One Another.  I dunno.  I’m a leech on my parents.  THEY SUPPORT ME FINANCIALLY.  Bad Son.  Bad Seed.  I’m the bad seed!  That’s two things that are wrong with me.  A THIRD THING AND I’M OUT.  Hmm. I’m short.  Pretty sure that counts.  Yep.  That’s the third thing!  Anyway.  Now I gotta do Three Good Things to counterbalance those bad things.  WHAT HUBRIS.  That’s the fourth thing that’s wrong with me.  To even THINK I can DO A GOOD THING.  Fourth Wrong Thing About Me.  
   Anyway.  Had a good music class yesterday.  Teacher made us all put on guitars, even the non-guitar players, and ham it up.  Not even play real stuff.  Just play pretend.  ALL TO MAKE ME FEEL COMFORTABLE I assume.  Worked a little bit!  I still DON’T feel comfortable playing guitar and making movements.  Whether it’s facial expressions or wilding out with my guitar or anything.  BEST I CAN DO is walk around the stage a little bit.  That I can handle.  That gets the message across I’M INTO IT.  I still prefer Just Standing There or even better Sitting Down.  It’s easier for me and besides the music should take centerstage.  But I understand that for Rock Band Music it can help to make a show out of it.  Anyway.  I realized that the entire 2.5 seasons I’ve been in School Of Rock every time we have practice or do a real show I always stand in the back and off to the side for every song.  Where no one can see me.  That’s where the guitar amps are!  But still, cables are long!  I guess I can start making a habit of walking around way up to the front center of the stage sometimes if I want to.  If I’m confident in the song and want everyone to see me, the guitar player, and whatknot.  Great.  Hmm.  That’s where singers stand though.  Front and center.  They’re already there!  Why should I try to take over their space!
    Okay.  Anyway.  We should organize ourselves in ascending height order possibly.  Like elementary school class photo.  Anyway I saw Louie CK and Kanye West are back for some reason.  Not really sure why.  Guess a lot of people just don’t care anymore.  It hurts my feelings as someone who vaguely cares a little bit.  I WON’T be going to the Kanye Westfest or the Louie CKomedy Show.  They’re still the same shitty people they were before and also my impression is they’re not even putting out very good work these days.  But whatever.  Not even GOOD Shitty People.  I’m a shitty person but they’re REALLY SHITTY people.  They have done and/or said terrible things and shown no remorse and then gotten rewarded for it.  I’ve JUST SAID kinda dumb things and DONE kinda POINTLESS THINGS and also NOT gotten rewarded for it!  Oh well.  I’m sure I’ve done or said some straight up bad things in my life.  Hmm.  Yeah We Went Over This!  The three or four things that I’m bad person for!  IT’S BEEN COVERED.  Hmm.  The point is The World Is Wrong.  The world is doing the wrong thing by accepting Kanye and Louie back.  BAD DECISION.  BAD WORLD.  You’re putting lots of people through pain and distress by platforming these men, so go fuck off with that!
    Okay.  Good.  Hope I don’t feel sick tonight.  Usually when I feel sick from Covid Vaccine it lasts several nights in a row!  Anyway.  I dunno.  WELL anyway at least I can watch several dozen episodes of Reno 0911.  That’s a pretty funny show.  I looked up Forgotten TV Comedy Gems from the 2000’s online in hopes that Reno 911 was given credit but ya know what?  None of those lists included Reno 911!  Seems wrong.  Maybe because the compilers Never Forgot Reno 911.  Because it’s certainly funny enough!  NEVER FORGET.  Anyway.  I remember good times watching the Reno 911 movie in my dormitory on the NYU channel.  NYU had its own channel!  Showed movies before anyone else!  Well, not before theaters.  But before HBO and whatknot.  Good stuff.  That’s something I remembered.  Go figure.  Now I don’t even HAVE to remember it!  It’s written out in the weblog.  If I ever wanna think about it again all I have to do is read this!  Easy!  Hmm.  That’s not good.  The more I talk the more I train myself to forget things.  Well I’m talking about it so it will be preserved on the internet forever so I don’t really NEED to remember it.  But that’s not a good way to go about your brain.  Huh.  Now I can do other stuff with my brain besides remember stuff.  What else is there.  MATH FUNCTIONS.  IMAGINATIONING.  Just THINKING about things if that’s what the situation calls for!  Anyway that’s it.  I’ll see ya later.

-6:47 P.M. 
       
   APRIL 7 2026

    Great.  How’s everyone doing.  What’s going on in your life.  And the person sitting next to you’s life.  And some strangers’ lives.  I want to know what’s going on in EVERYONE’S lives.  That’d be weird.  Anyway here’s some five paragraphs that are my life-centric.  Centric could be a bandname.  It will be one day.  Everything will be a bandname EVENTUALLY.  Unless music stops being at thing at some point, then logic tells us as time goes on, we run out of band names, eventually we have to use increasingly more and more obscure band names.  So eventually Everything Is A Band Name.  Unless music stops being a thing at some point!  I prefer the lots of bad band names scenario to music stopping.  Anyway we just got a new Vacuum Cleaner.  If Vacuum Cleaner was a band name what would it mean.  Initials are VC.  Might be a reference to the Viet Cong.  Vietname War.  That’s the only thing I can think of that it might mean.  Otherwise I’m drawing a blank.  I saw the trailer for the new Supergirl movie.  I don’t really like Space Movies!  I can trick myself into liking A Star Wars here or a Project Hail Mary there but just in general I relate to Earth Movies a lot more than Outer Space Movies.  Just don’t GET aliens and/or their settings.  Not like Humans On Earth.  PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET?  NOW THIS I UNDERSTAND. 
    Not really.  Okay.  Maybe I just don’t get THE GROOVE for Supergirl (2026) like I did for Superman (2025).  Maybe Supergirl isn’t made for me specifically to groove on and/or with.  I DIUNNO pretty sure Everything Is Made Specifically For Me.  Oh okay gotta see the movie to find out.  Anyway.  The dog is still there in this movie.  But now the dog is kind of Betraying Superman by being friends with Supergirl so it’s not all good feelings.  They’re all friends together.  There’s nothing wrong there.  I dunno.  Dog gotta choose one.  Pick a True Best Friend.  And ya know what at this point it’s too late Now You Get No One.  JUST LEAVE DOG.  YOU GET NO BEST FRIEND.  NOBODY WANTS YOU NOW.  Anyway.  His name is Krypto!  I discovered HBO had a Sci-Fi spin off of Tales From The Crypt that lasted one season that’s mostly available on youtube.  If you’re a Tales From The Crypto fanatic like I am look it up!  What’s it called Michael that will help me look it up.  Hmm.  What’s it called.  Perversions Of Science.  It’s okay!  Hmm.  Initials are POS.  I guess it’s implying that each episode is a Piece Of Shit.  But they’re not!  They’re mostly 65% as good as any Tales From The Crypt episode are and/or is!  Anyway.  The Crypt Keeper character is a CGI Sexy Female Robot.  She’s okay!  She’s very suggestive, I’ll tell ya that much!
   Okay.  I don’t know what to do with life.  My music hasn’t quite been getting better lately.  My blog writing has atrophied.  My critical thinking skills aren’t great.  I figure do the things I’ve been doing and cross my fingers and hope for the best.  WRONG.  GOTTA change something somehow.  Oh okay.  Maybe the change can be something FUN though.  Like start Drinking Heavily or something.  Maybe that’s the key!  That sounds promising!  Anyway.  That’s not a realistic option.  TRY HARDER is the best option.  Do what I’m doing but with more TRYING. Ugh.  I haven’t tried since I was in high school!  Had to put in a lot of time and effort studying for tests and writing papers.  And guess what it sucked!  Didn’t I have to do that for college, too.  YEAH but somewhat less.  College was significantly easier and less work than high school.  Feels kinda weird I got a degree to be honest.  I don’t remember learning much of anything.  Anything worthwhile I did learn for tests or wrote papers on went one in ear and out the other.  Now it’s happening again at School Of Rock!  I don’t remember how to play the Pat Benatar songs or Rolling Stones songs I learnt I don’t think!  Although if I looked at how to play them it might jog my memory and I’d pick it right back up quick. Plus my general skill level at guitar may have gotten irrevocably better.  THEN AGAIN MAYBE IRRETRIEVABLY WORSE.  I dunno.
    Okay.  What’s the point.  Maybe the point is I’m unqualified to do anything.  I have an English Degree but it means nothing because I learned nothing.  Maybe other people with an English degree it actually means something.  They KNOW THEIR STUFF and they’re GOOD AT IT.  For me it just means I read a Charles Dickens book once and passed a couple of tests confirming I did in fact read the book and that’s pretty much it more or less… maybe I wrote a half assed essay or two that were 50% summary.  And that academic level experience over the course of, what, two or three dozen classes?  BACHELOR’S DEGREE.  Hmm.  Maybe that’s why I do bad, un-trying creative things.  I did poor, un-trying Academic Work.  How can I break the trend.  I’m not sure it’s possible to break a trend.  Trends are one of the toughest things in the universe.  Trends by definition can be broken.  Yeah but they also By Definition TREND NOT TO BE BROKEN.  Huh. Lemme think about this one.  Anyway.  This is the trend.  My only friend the trend.  I don’t understand how Jason Momoa was Aquaman and now is someone else.  You can’t do that!  It’s the same universe of films more or less.  What about Robert Downey Junior being Iron Man and now coming back as Dr. Doom.  I don’t like that either now that you bring it up!  What about Jesus returning after three days of being dead.  NOT A FAN OF THAT EITHER now that you bring that up!  Anyway.  What was Christ doing for exactly three days.  Just hanging out.  But what took that amount of time precisely?  And then after 72 hours he looks at his watch and is like well they’ve worried about me enough…
    I might be getting things mixed up.  I dunno how it went down.  Anyway.  Wasn’t THAT the second coming of Christ?  Him showing up 3 days later?  And if he comes back again, that’d be the THIRD coming?  If we wanna be pedantic about things?  Again, I dunno exactly what happened.  Not like you.  You probably know exactly what happened!  Anyway.  WHAT IS AQUAMAN DOING IN SPACE.  I was confused!  No one should have to feel that way!  Anyway.  A big part of Superman’s deal is that He’s Helping People.  I thought that would translate to Supergirl.  How is she helping people if she’s not even on Earth.  ERGO I can’t relate to this movie!  OH NO.  There’s Astronauts circling the moon or something right now as we speak.  I’m gonna trust they have a good reason for doing it but a big part of me thinks they just felt like doing it for fun.  They’re testing The Orion’s life support systems.  I don’t know what that means exactly but OK.  IF YOU SAY SO.  SURE.  I’ll believe you for the most part!  Is this related to Orion: The Production Company?  I’ve seen that logo before movies!  Huh.  Okay.  HMM.  Probably more of a reference to Orion’s Belt.  If that constellation didn’t exist I guess Orion’s Pants would drop?  Sorry.  WHO IS Orion.  Some Greek Asshole I’m guessing.  Anyway.  That’s all.  See ya next week.

APRIL 2 2026

    There’s nothing good about that title.  I don’t know why anyone would commit to it.  What kind of PERSON.  Anyway let’s write entry.  Today is the last day of March.  Finally, we get to stop Marching!  If you’re anything like me you’ll agree we’ve been Marching forever.  Now I know how soldiers feel.  They have to march all the time. For practice.  When it counts.  In March like the rest of us.  Anyway.  Where am I going with this.  What Am I Marching Toward.  I dunno.  I dunno what to talk about!  I don’t know what to think about.  I don’t know what to do about.  Well what’s been on my mind lately.  Okay.  I don’t wanna dignify myself with an answer.  I don’t feel comfortable talking to myself.  I prefer talking to the MEDIUM FORMAT that I’m preforming in.  I start talking to myself, I get distracted, then who knows if I’lll ever recover!  Anyway what’s on YOUR mind, Other Michael.  WELL I’m a little concerned that I’m having difficulty with coming up with things to talk about!  Oh okay.  There’s many topics to talk about!  FILM.  TECHNOLOGY.  LITERATURE.  WOODWORKING.  THE EPHEMERAL.  Stop me at any time.  I see there’s a new show The Pitt and to me it seems like it’s just Doctors Being Doctors.  What’s the big deal?  What makes it special?  Something better make it special!  Otherwise I don’t like it!       
    I assume it specializes in Pit Doctors.  Armpit doctors.  Take care of that zone of the body specifically.  Someone’s gotta do it and so far I’ve never seen any other doctor do it before!  Anyway.  Last night I watched the first half of My Dinner With Andre.  I like Wallace Shawn who was also from Clueless.  He’s literally my height!  Good movie!  If someone like HIM can get to have dinner with an old friend maybe there’s hope for me too!  Anyway I wouldn’t wanna do that.  The conversation is stimulating enough to enjoy privately but if I was actually there having dinner with Andre I’d be like Oh No How Do I Get Out Of Here I’m Not Having Fun Lemme Go Home Please.  Also compared to his co-star this guy is ANDRE THE GIANT am I right?  Anyway.  Why couldn’t the movie have been called My Dinner With Shawn.  BOYCOTT THIS MOVIE WITH ME.  Shawn Wallace erasure!  That took up a few sentences.  Wallace Shawn.  Shawn Wallace.  I really don’t know what his name is anymore!  It’s Wallace Shawn.  Okay I’ll remember that.  Anyway.  I wanna eat what they’re eating in the movie.  They get the same main course but each gets a different appetizer and I wanna eat all three of the different meals they get.  3 out of 4 stars.  MMM MOVIES.
    New Topic Time.  Who decided we should rate things by STARS.  What does A STAR have to do with rating things?  They probably mean Asterisks.  Those make sense as a place holder.  No critic is rating things by Astronomy Stars.  Hmm.  We’ll never know.  Anyway.  You can’t spell Asterisk without At Risk.  I don’t know why you would want to!  Anyway where is my life Marching to.  Not just right now in this entry but existentially.  What am I marching towards.  Well, death of course, like everyone else.  I meant before that!  In the meantime!  I guess I’m heading towards Pre-death then I suppose.  I think I can do better than pre-death!  Life is more than pre-death!  I dunno, somethin’ll happen.  You’ll see!  Anyway.  I assume The Pitt is sponsored by Axe Body Spray.  In real life I assume Axe Body Spray is long bankrupt and out of business.  That’s too bad.  What else is going on.  Been watching TV this weekend, you guys ever do that?  Probably!  But I’m not sure!  That’s your business though.  Well, your recreational time.  Not really your BUSINESS to watch TV.  How could you monetize Watching TV!  Hmm.  Maybe it’s possible.  Maybe I should look into that.
    New Tupac Time.  Yeah.  In middle school a friend once told me that any music attributed to Tupac was made and released by the real Tupac and any music assigned to 2pac was made and released by an imposter post-Real-Tupac’s-death.  I didn’t find out until later that That’s Just Wrong.  That’s a thing in life.  People just confidently say things That Are Just Wrong.  Something I picked up at some point!  Anyway.  There was a No Kings protest pretty close to where I lived but I didn’t go to it.  I didn’t have material to make a sign!  I slept through it anyway!  It was a bit too far to walk!  I protested in my own way by improving PROTEST MUSIC.  No King.  Knocking.  Hmm.  Interesting.  They’re good people I assume.  I can only wonder what kind of great lifelong friends I’m mussing out on by not going to that one event.  My Dinner With No Kings.  You ever play No Kings Poker.  It’s just poker but No Kings.  Take the kings out of the deck!  Really levels up the skill level required for the game.  Takes it to the next level!  Good luck making a straight ending in Ace that’s all I’m gonna say.  You’ll have some difficulty there!  Anyway Here’s a tip for United States Military worried about how to deal with Strait of Whatever in Iran War—What beats Strait?  A FLUSH.  You figure the rest out!  I’ve done my part!
   Cool.  Here’s a popsicle joke I just came up with. What Chocolate was the first pronouns?  HER/SHEY.  Well anyway what should I do for the rest of the night.  Well I have several options.  Not really.  Really only one option.  What I end up doing. IT’S BEEN WRITTEN IN THE ASTERICKS.  Asteroids.  I dunno.  Maybe I should rewatch Armageddon.  I watched that a lot when I was younger but I haven’t seen it in at least five or seven years.  When I was a child I acted as a child would and when I was an adult I simply lost contact with the film Armageddon.  Okay.  Imagine if they made an Armageddon II.  NOW ACTUALLY IMAGINE IF THEY REALLY MADE AN ARMAGEDDON II FOR A REAL.  Imagine it actually happening for real.  Don’t just play around.  IMAGINE IT.  I guess the plot is oh look ANOTHER meteor is heading towards the Earth… again so soon!  Or it could be a different kind of Armageddon.  I dunno.  Ideally it’s the kind of Armageddon that The Surviving Oil Drillers can solve.  Oh I Know the Armageddon is Climate Change.  And you can get them to help by telling them to Just Stop Drilling.  Ok.  But getting half a dozen drillers to stop wouldn’t solve climate change.  IT’S A START.  Anyway.  I guess that’s it.  I’ll see ya later.
