Well Why Didn't You Say Something

    What's going on!  Figured I'd write an entry today.  It's an entertaining use of my time.  Can't go wrong there.  Starting about half an hour earlier than usual.  Either way, super market delivery is coming later.  First half of entry that's not hanging over my head, though!  But later on it'll become a distraction.  IT COULD COME AT ANY MOMENT I will think.  Is that something that concerns people who have sex with dicks.  THEY MIGHT COME ANY SECOND.  THEN THIS WILL ALL BE OVER!  JUST LIKE THAT!  Not sure how sex works 100% though!  Anyway.  Watched the debate last night.  What a piece of shit!  Biden started off at a Negative 10% and winded up at a positive 50% (Out Of 100)!  Split the difference and he clocked in scoring a solid 20%.  THAT'S FAILING.  The negative 10% was less time than the positive 50% but it counts for more because that's what he led off with.  Trump just lied a lot which I'm not sure is okay or not!  Doesn't work on me!  Maybe it works for other people, maybe it doesn't!  Who the hell knows.  All in all IT'S OVER NOW THE BAD PEOPLE CAN'T HURT YOU ANYMORE.
    Biden isn't a bad person.  Just an incompetent debater!  As long as he's competent at being president.  IS HE competent at being president?  How the fuck am I supposed to know.  Policywise he's doing a solid C!  I don't know what his Presidential Performance looks like on a 24/7 basis though!  When you get up close and personal.  PROBABLY would be happier with another person in there instead!  Wouldn't it be nice!  It'd give me good vibrations.  Ah well.  God only knows.  Everybody's gone surfing!  Surfing USA!  What else is going on.  If there are things that God Only Knows does he feel bad that there's no one he can talk to about these things.  Maybe Holy Ghost.  Hmm.  I think in the phrase God Only Knows the implication is It's Usually God AND YOU that knows it.  God only knows how much I love you.  Kinda implies God and YOURSELF that know That You Love That Person Lots.  That's not the lyrics to the song.  That's a SEPARATE God Only Knows.
   God only knows what I'd be without you.  Hmm.  I'm already Not Much WITH you.  Guess I probably wouldn't be much WITHOUT you either.  Not happy with my life either way!  AH well.  Gotta write a joke for Stand Up class on Monday.  Seven part questionnaire we did in class last week.  Write a joke based on ONE of the questions.  One of the questions was what's the most annoying part of your work day.  My answer was Waking Up.  As I don't have a work day persay.  No job.  But Waking Up is most annoying part of Day Day.  I think I'm gonna turn that into my joke.  Figure my process for writing the joke is try to come up with 5-10 punchlines and work backwards from there to construct 60-120 seconds of Talking With The Goal Of Eliciting Laughter From Other People.  Hmm.  BLOG is workday.  What if I make a joke about Most Annoying Part of Writing Blog.  That's probably not the way to go about things, no.  UNLESS maybe it's EXACTLY the way to go about things.  Hmm.  Tricked myself into coming up with a better idea!  YES.
    Fourth paragraph.  Can I accomplish anything this weekend?  Probably!  Will I accomplish anything this weekend?  Sure!  SHALL I accomplish anything this weekend?  Now the balls in your court!  Dynamite Cookies Marijuana Strain turned out to be a disappointment.  Pretty weak.  It produces a normal, fine effect but I have to smoke 2x the amount to reach it! Oh well, now I know for next time.  Avoid this brand completely!  Avoid Russell Brand completely, too!  You would have thought seeing Forgetting Sarah Marshall that he'd be an okay guy because his character is funny but you don't realize he's probably actually A Lot Like His Character and Not In A Fun Way!  PEOPLE am I right.  Everyone Is One!  And Not In A Fun Way!  I'm not here to judge anyone.  Not deeply.  Deep down Who Cares!  Mike Judge.  Apparently there's a King Of The Hill revival coming and this might be the most important cultural piece of art that we've got coming to us IN RECENT FUTURE MEMORY.  Could be a game changer!  Not sure what the game is!  But it may change!
    Never realized how Judgey Mike Judge's films are!  I mean, I did!  But I never put together the connection between That Concept And His Name.  THIS JERK THINKS VERY LITTLE OF ALL OF US.  A lot of us including me agree!  But Still!  Good for him for getting to put his vision out there.  Anyway.  Probably can go back to crazysheet 2017 and it turns out I said, "MIKE JUDGE'S FILMS ARE REALLY JUDGY."  I probably did put it together before.  WELL I PUT IT TOGETHER ALL OVER AGAIN.  So what.  These things occur to us all several times over the course of our lives!  But it's the kind of thing that doesn't stick!  So what!  What's the word for whem Your Name is Appropriate for who you are and/or Means Something.  APTRONYM.  Maybe Joe is just Biding his time.  Until what.  Until he's dead!  At some point he will cease to be president and/or alive one way or another.  Could stop NOW at a possible Low Low Point.  Or he could continue on!  Either way I'm sure he has all of our best interests at heart.  OR possibly his own vanity or some other private reasons.  Who knows what goes on in his head.  Hard to say!
   If YOU were president wouldn't YOU wanna keep going?  I dunno.  I don't wanna be president in the first place!  So I can't answer that question.  Shouldn't drop him from the ticket just because of one poor debate performance.  Unless it seems indicative of who him be in general.  Great.  Do what you want!  It's the Democratic PARTY.  It's not up to One Person.  Well inevitably at this point it's up to Biden.  But you get the idea!  What else is up.  Someone shuold have called out Trump's lies.  Coulda been Biden.  Coulda been CNN.  I dunno!  OR if they didn't want to, CNN could have just said at the beginning BTW we're not gonna bother with Fact Checking.  Just a FYI.  Don't feel like it's a priority for What We're Doing Tonight!  Be up front about Not Bothering With It at least.  A lot of people can tell truth from untruth but a lot of people can't!  Can't take it all out on Biden.  But presumably another candidate would have been more specific and insightful in calling out and rebutting Trumps bullshit!  That's what we're picturing.  Imagine That.  Maybe no one would have.  Maybe it's just a dream!  Maybe this is just the structure we live in Biden Or No Biden!
   Seventh paragraph.  Okay!  I don't know!  Four paragraphs to go.  WINDOW for Super Market Delivery arriving opens in 13 minutes.  Oh No!  Now it's 12 minutes.  What the HELL.  I was wrong about what side of the screen Biden and Trump wuold be on.  Ah well.  It was determined by a Coin Toss.  I'm usually pretty good at those!  When I'M tossing the coin, at least.  Pretty good at Calling It when I want a Heads or Tails or whatever.  I WANT A HEADS I can throw a heads 60, 70% of the time!  Just a talent I have!  Doesn't extend to when other people toss the coin, though.  I'm not some sort of SUPERHUMAN.  Anyway.  Took like an hour for them to get to their first commercial break in the debate.  What the Hell.  People need bathroom breaks!  I survived but BARELY.  What if I had a bathroom in my bedroom.  How convenient would that be.  Huh.  Not sure that means anything.  Maybe just if I had a Toilet in my bedroom.  Sounds reasonable.  What if I just peed into snapple bottles.  FINALLY we've reached a simple solution everyone can agree on.          
    Okay.  Snapple's slogan is "Made From The Best Stuff On Earth."  WHY did they ruin the best stuff on Earth and Just To Turn It Into Snapple?  Snapple is okay-- Pretty Good!-- but it's certainly not on par with THE BEST STUFF ON EARTH.  I think I'd rather have some of what It Originally Was than This Snapple I Got Here!  Do they have an idea of WHAT, "The best stuff on Earth," IS?  Kinda seems like they must have something in mind.  If I'm drinking Lemon Iced Tea I imagine they mean The Best Lemons On Earth.  Most logical response at least.  BUT I think maybe Snapple is maybe made from something like from Where The Wild Things Are.  It Makes Sense!  Some faraway mystical island where things are different and Some Crazy Best Stuff Things Exist.  I don't know.  Was APPLE Snapple's First Flavor.  Either way Very Confusing!  I don't think THERE IS an Apple Snapple!  So it couldn't have been their first flavor!  Nope there is an Apple Snapple.  OK GOOD.
    Penultimate paragraph.  Snapple is portmanteau of SNAP and... hmm...  The SNAP sound it makes when you twist the top and... ULL.  I'm disregarding the Apple premise.  Don't think it's relevant in reality!  Anyway.  Two paragraphs to go!  Wonderufl.  Next week is a brand new month of entries!  JULY!  Should be pretty interesting.  Unless I decide to take time off and work on Something Else More Productive.  Either Way.  Election is in 4+ months.  That's an amount of time!  HMM.  Really makes ya think.  I'd like to finish the Bikini Kill Lady Book this weekend.  Get into that narrative.  Instead of the narrative I'm in right now.  Which is either Disastrous Debate WHAT TO DO! narrative or The Sopranos Narrative or I'm Waiting For My Super Market Delivery narrative.  MAIN THREE NARRATIVES I GOT GOING ON RIGHT NOW.          
    Last paragraph.  Good deal.  Gnocchi was pretty good last night.  I like getting delivery from Italian Restuarant because you often get delivery in Pizza Box!  Even if you don't get pizza!  How delightful.  It's a fun way to get your food transported to you.  NOT SO FUN to have to rip up and throw out in the garbage.  That could be a hassle.  But it's fun to ACCEPT and POSSESS BRIEFLY.  Anyway.  Next presidential debate is scheduled for September 10th.  Interesting.  I guess we can reflect on Why And How Biden did poorly in yesterday's debate in the meantime!  But then you look at him give speeches in other contexts AND HE LOOKS LIKE A NORMAL PERSON.  WOW.  NORMAL.  Anyway.  Could be worse!  Could be Abnormal!  Looks like I was able to finish the entry without it being interrupted by Delivery.  Good deal.  Next Entry will be better.  Things Get Better!  That's been my experience.  Anyway.  See ya later.

As Long As We're All On The Same Page

    What's up, friends!  Let's write some paragraphs.  THE ROYAL LET'S.  Might get some Gnocchi for dinner.  Very exciting stuff.  Didn't make much progress with music last night.  I think if I just sat down and got high and worked on playing Guitar over myself playing Guitar for several hours a day I'd Have Some Great Songs In No Time.  Also gotta sing and write lyrics at some point.  I just don't have it in me to do it, though!  I don't get it!  It's FUN.  It's a PUZZLE.  The energy just isn't there!  What do I got to feel exhausted about.  I do no HEAVY LIFTING in life.  I'm still a young man!  Part of me was like maybe it's because I'm not 18 anymore.  Not a kid!  I'm freaking 35.  SO WHAT.  Still should be able to Do Things without counting down the seconds to getting to stop.  What's wrong with me.  Maybe music is just Not What I'm Meant To Be Doing.  Universe wants me lying in bed watching TV.  GOD has determined that's a better use of my time!  Oh well.
    Anyway.  There's a season II of The That's That 90's Show?  I'll probably watch that!  CANNED LAUGHTER?  Where can I purchase such a thing.  If you want me to be in the audience for your sitcom and laugh you better be paying me royalties.  I'm contributing to the show!  And if you refuse I'm gonna start laughing loudly and weirdly to disrupt the production.  NOW you've got problems.  Hey there's a Debate On tonight!  Kinda past my bedtime but I guess I'm gonna watch it.  My prediction?  Joe Biden gonna be on the left side of the stage and Trump on the right.  From the audience's perspective.  So Biden would be Stage Right then.  Guess we'll have to wait to see how it all plays out.  I think I make similar predictions for EVERY DEBATE.  Possible I bring out that classic every two to four years.  WELL that's what I consider every election cycle.  This is what is on the voter's mind!  I'm usually right, too!  Got a good nose for these sorts of things. 
   What is an Undecided Voter.  Have they even decided To Be A Voter?  The implication I TINK is The Premise Is They Will Vote but They Don't Know Who To Vote For.  But in reality I bet they haven't even decided to vote!  That's the second layer!  Is there a phrase for someone who knows who they would vote for but they haven't decided whether they will vote?  Is that incorporated within, "Undecided Voter?"  Maybe Undecided Voter is blanket term for All the permutations.  I don't know.  It's possible I'm vaguely undecided.  I probably will vote but I don't know what's gonna happen!  PHYSICALLY I might face some sort of disability between now and November that might stop me.  Broken kneecaps, fall into a coma, lost at sea, etc.  For the most part I see myself going out of my way to vote for Biden though!  This is the most important election of our lifetimes!  They say that each election!  And it's usually true!  The stakes DO keep getting incrementally higher!  Because the other side keeps getting crazier and more dangerous!  Particularly Trump In And Of Himself!  Have you SEEN this guy?
    Fourth paragraph.  What else.  Seven paragraphs to go!  Thinking about trying to work on Pilot from way back good ol Pilot Class some more.  Write a Second Draft, YES, but before I do that, I think I wanna work out an overall outline of PLOT for an entire Season One.  That'd be my Step One!  Then if I can do that, NEXT STEP is Write A Wonderful Second Draft Of Pilot for The New Monkees.  Hmm.  This time around it's different.  We're talkin' hour long show instead of Half Hour.  That's all I got so far.  That's plenty!  Hmm.  You can't spell PILOT without PLOT.  I PLOT THE PILOT.  Or Plot I The Pilot.  I as in Roman Numeral. Anyway that's another possibility for constructive summer is the point.  Hmm.  This time TNM is from TEH DOG'S POINT OF VIEW.  What dog.  Well I guess I have to add a Dog to the cast of characters now that I think about it.  Named Spot off the top of my head.  Unless there's already a TV Dog named Spot.  Better LTURQ.  There was a TV show from 1987-1993 called The Adventures of Spot.  At first I was like SEVEN SEASONS Of a show about A Dog Named Spot?!  Actually only two seasons.  Just spread out really thin.  STILL THOUGH.  Gotta come up with a new Dog for The New Monkees.  How about Pots.  Sure.  Dog named Pots.  WHY is this ruff happening!  Meant to say riff.  Probably.
   Okay.  Into the last season of The Sopranos.  Occurred to me that the last Season of The Sopranos is UP THERE with The Best Pieces of TV and/or Film ever EVER!  RANKS WELL.  Maybe I'm partially biased because I was in the right headspace and place in my place when it came out.  I was an NYU STUDENT.  We appreciate This Sort Of Thing even if we don't go to The Film School Specifically.  I was close enough to that kind of Person!  Also I was getting HIGH.  We SUPER appreciated that sort of thing.  The kind of high I was getting at the time was I'm Going To Really Get Into Watching This TV/Movie/Listening To This Music High.  That's how it manifested a lot of the time.  Really enjoy consuming the entertainment I would have been consuming anyway kinda high.  Good times!  But anyway that last two part season of The Sopranos is Just Real Top Cinema/TV.  I hope I don't die like Tony Soprano dies.  He MAY not die.  I dunno.  Between him Probably Dying at the end of the series and The Actor Who Plays Him Dying several years later LET'S SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE and Call Him Dead!  Sad.
    Halfway through the entry.  Something tells me I'm Gonna Die At Some Point.  FUCK.  Do I gotta jinx myself about it?  I'm practically bringing it upon myself with that kinda nonsense!  WHY.  Anyway.  Worse things can happen.  Everybody dies.  What if I get a really bad kidney stone or something.  That'd be Bad and also UNNECESSARY.  Death is a necessity AT SOME POINT.  Hmm.  HMM can Death be a character in Inside Out III?  Not sure about the Ins and Outs of how that would work.  It doesn't line up EXACTLY as an, "Emotions."  But I could see DEATH being a voice inside my head!  Gonna have to consider that one more carefully when I get a chance.  First instinct is it's kind of like The Fear Of Death but that's not exactly right.  The Inevitability Of Death is a little closer.  Sounds more like Fate.  Just picture The Grim Reaper.  And He's In Your Head and sometimes takes the wheel.  That's all I'm trying to say!
   Okay!  Seventh paragraph.  I guess.  Four more paragraphs!  Who wuold play Death.  They had Norm Macdonald play Grim Reaper on Family Guy.  He's dead now in reality though.  ALRIGHT I'LL DO IT.  Anyway.  No one else volunteered.  Why wouldn't I.  I WANT TO WORK IN TEH ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS.  What is Death's speech pattern.  Could be practically anything. Maybe we want a Fresh Take On Death.  That'd be my approach.  What else is going on.  That's dumb.  People want Classic Death.  You don't mess with the original!  Hmm.  To be honest in my mind I'm conflating Death with Ghostface From The Scream Movies just a tiny bit when I'm trying to picture what I would do.  Not completely. But there is some overlap where there shouldn't be.  Keeping it 100.  Deep Bellowy voice.  That's Death.  IT'S a start at least.  Maybe not.  I can take direction!  It's not necessarily on me to figure everything out myself!  Hmm.  What else is good.  Three more paragraphs to go!              
    What is the Gnocchi dish called.  I WISH I could just say Give me the gnocchi and let that be that.  But it's a lot more complicated than that.  Gnocchi Pomodorro alla Caprese.  WOW.  I think I'll eat around the Pomodorro alla Caprese and just eat the Gnocchi.  But I have to order the entire thing.  Agnoccihistic is how I feel about religion.  Probably.  I believe in SOMETHING.  JUST LOOK AROUND YOU.  THINGS EXIST.  Check mate!  How could things exist if there Was No... Higher... Spirit... Otherworldly... Dimensional... EAT YOUR GNOCCHI.  Hmm.  I think it's bizarre how we all have our entirely separate lives but somehow our lives fit into each other lives.  WHAT TE HELL.  That's what freaks me out.  Each of us live in our own universe but somehow WE INCORPORATE EACH OTHER'S UNIVERSES INTO OUR OWN UNIVERSE.  How do we manage that!  Seems vaguely transcendent or something.  I dunno!  I DON'T LIKE IT.
   Penultimate paragraph.  That's good.  Gotta accept super market delivery tomorrow afternoon.  I might have considered writing a bonus entry tomorrow to make up for Skipping Monday. But I don't wanna write having Delivery Acceptance hanging over my head!  Writing knowing I could be interrupted at any moment? No Thank You!  Ah well.  Instead I can watch more Television That I've Already Watched!  Good deal.  That improves my life SOMEHOW.  I don't have all the numbers in front of me but it increases my familiarity with Whatever I'm Watching At The Very Least.  No Time Is Ever Wasted!  That's one rule of life that I think I've picked up.  Let's go with that.  Gotta get started of Dave Grohl Book soon before he's completely cancelled.  People on Threads are angry at him because he said Taylor Swift uses backing tracks on her Tour.  These are The Threads People I Chose.  When I first signed up for Threads I was very serious about blocking lots and lots of random people to whittle down my feed into something I could relate to.  SOMEHOW that became Taylor Swift fans.  DIDN'T START OUT TAHT WAY.  But in the end that's what it turnt into.  NOT SURE HOW OR WHY.  Taylor Swift Commentary in my feed didn't start popping up until months later!  But somehow this is what I'm stuck with either by chance or as an unintended consequence of my initial rounds of muting/blocking!  Guess I could start the process of blocking or muting Taylor Swift Posts now.  Mix up Feed Algorithms again.  Hmm.  I have nothing against Taylor Swift!  I have some things against her fans, though!  SOME OF THEM seem kind of... naive!
   Last paragraph!  We should be naive.  Ain't nothing wrong with that.  It's fun!  But don't weaponize it!  Ah well.  No one's perfect.  Except for MOHAMMED blessed be his name.  Hmm.  GIMME SOME MO HAM... MED.  Didn't really register until today that AJ Soprano really gets to shine in this Season Of The Sopranos.  Not a starring role, but he gets a lot of MEAT on This Bone!  If he wanted to Robert Iler COULD HAVE turned this role into an opportunity for more and bigger roles I think.  He had the exposure and he did a really great job I think!  AH WELL.  HIS AND OUR LOSS I GUESS.  There's no ham in a hamburger and there's no ham in Mohammed.  Dude kept Halal!  Probably.  NEVER READ THE QURAN!  Probably shuold if I wanna Get Right before I die.  SOMETHING TELLS ME Islam is the way to go!  HMM.  Why not!  I have Hebrew Bible in my room somewhere.  That's why not!  Easy Access to that and nothing else.  Seems like a slam dunk that That'd Be What I Settle For if I were to read any sort of Bible.  Sounds reasonable.  Anyway.  See ya later!

Something Just Occurred To Me

    Hi!  Entry Time!  Got up early today to see Therapist.  Did we talk about anything worthwhile?  No.  I found out my Therapist's office is bugged!  There was a bug crawling across the floor halfway through the appointment.  I offered to kill it and get rid of it but Therapist did it herself.  Anyway.  I'm sure anyone who wants to listen in electronically can as well.  Now they know All My Sensitive Info.  Why can't they just Bug My Regular Life?  Cut out the middle man!  More convenient this way.  This way they get the Cliff's Notes!  Therapist Appointment is NOT the Cliff's Notes of my life.  Therapist's Appointment is Three Run On Sentences Of Gibberish of My Life.  Just dumb garbage relating to nothing.  Thinks it's being Clever Summation Of My Life but it's WRONG.  NOPE, I THINK you're gonna wanna go straight to the source and wiretap my house and personal devices directly!  Couldn't HURT at least.
    Okay!  Made some good progress working on music last night.  I think I got started on A SONG.  I don't know how else to put it!  Dunno what else to call it!  It's the first 5% of A Song.  Great.  I think if you are any sort of public figure or have a high enough level of wealth or status gotta assume the government and/or other kinda agencies are spying on you, right?  That'd be your baseline assumption.  AND/OR if you suffer from paranoia!  I assume my computer and phone Movements are being tracked PERSONALLY because of Paranoia and not because I'm A Very Special Person.  BUT my goal is to reach a level of success in life where I'd be justified in assuming People Be Keeping Tabs On Me For Reasons.  Maybe Government and/or Spy Companies are keeping tabs on All Of Us These Days.  ALL OF US are a lot of people, though!  I dunno if the government and/or spy agencies are that big!  Not impossible!
    I guess there's levels of having your shit being monitored.  COOKIES and whatknot, we know that stuff is at risk for everybody.  But most people aren't worried that There's A Real Person Tracking What You're Doing At This Very Moment.  Hmm.  Oh well.  Just think of People Spying On You as Your Guardian Angel!  Or your Imaginary Best Friend!  Good times.  Lots of people spy on you at the same time!  Why get hung up on any one of them.  Anyway.  PRIVACY am I right.  It's a thing!  Got Chinese food for lunch today.  Had half of my General Tso's Chicken.  Also got Spared Ribs!  Probably have that for dinner.  Was googling calories for Chinese Foods and I'm not a fan of the new AI Google Results.  FUCK AI.  I want to abstain from AI as much as possible in my life!  Now I know how people in previous generations felt when they Idiotically would refrain from New Technology for Seemingly No Reason.  You read about stuff like that as a kid and are like who were those morons.  THEN IT HAPPENS TO YOU.
    Sure.  AI LOCKED 2001 OUT OF THE SPACE CAPSULE OR SOMETHING.  "Sorry Dave I'm Afraid I Can't do that."  SURE YOU CAN.  YOU JUST WON'T.  I'll NEVER forget that.  Anyway.  At least we're still naming our kids Dave in 2001.  Hmm.  If the guy's name is Dave in 2001, he was probably born and named Dave BEFORE the FILM 2001 EVEN CAME OUT. ...Trippy.  Let's be honest his name is probably David.  Better name than HAL.  What is HAL an acronym for.  HMM.  "Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic computer."  I'm sure Arthur C Clarke was a fine writer in many respects, but I'm not sure he quite grasps the concept of Acronyms.  Really taking a lot of liberties with that one!  Anyway.  "Arthur C Clarke?"  There's already a, "C," to begin, "Clarke!"  REDUNDANCY.  [editor's note: it's a 'Redundant C']  Just go with Arthur Clarke!  What the fuck.  Who am I to tell people about names.  I don't even know my own damn name.  If I were to start going into comedy should I be Mike Kornblum or Michael Kornblum.  I think Michael Kornblum has better rhythm overall professionally but Mike may sound better colloquially.  Or the complete opposite.  Or the first way.  I'm not gonna be a jerk and split the difference.  Pick one and stick with it.  Why should I be so blessed to have multiple names.  What have I done to deserve a double dose of name.
   In my head I've got like two dozen names.  I've got the obvious names.  I've got band names and website name and character names I Would Play in SPEC SCRIPT.  For the most part Having Lots Of Names is Lots Of Fun but in the end you're gonna want to have One Name To Rule Them All.  IDENTITY, right?  Probably.  Let's see.  Creepy Crawler bug in my Therapy Appointment!  Nice long slinky type bug.  Don't see that every day!  Great.  What are bugs FOR.  At least Animals can be CUTE and SUBSTANTIAL and stuff.  BUGS are just NEH.  Do BUGS at least Feel Like Their Lives Are Worth Sumthin'.  I feel like they probably get something out of life for the most part.  Bugs for the most part are going about their day as if it means something.  We just don't see it!  Bugs can be cute.  Lemme LTURQ.  Cutest Bugs.  Ladybug comes to mind. I don't hate 'em!  Caterpillar can be very charming.  I like the sound of some bugs.  Cicadas.  The sound they make is Top Knotch!  Of course when I make jokes ALL I HEAR IS CRICKETS.
    Okay.  Wow!  That's on me for doing All Cricket Shows though.  I can't help it, crickets are my demographic!  They should probably SHUT UP when I'm telling jokes though, right?  Don't they know anything!  What else is up.  Gonna write an entry tomorrow, and that's probably it for the week!  Three entry week!  OK.  Got a DEBATE coming up tomorrow night.  Not me personally.  But I'll be observing it!  My guess is one of them does MEDIOCRE.  The other one does SHITTY.  No spoilers though I've already said too much!  Also get this SHITTY MEANS GOOD.  That's how kids talk these days!  WHY NOT.  Hmm.  Where can I make some Prop Bets for what happens during the debate.  I don't know what will Really Happen Contentwise BUT I am interested in laying down some gambling for Long Shots of Strange Things That Probably Won't Happen.  WILL Biden climb on top of his Debate Podium and shake his arms like King Kong?  WE'LL SEE.  Will Trump HALFWAY THROUGH start eating a sandwich.  I don't know!
    Okay!  How did it become ubiquitous that when a comedian is bombing you hear Crickets.  WHEN did it become commonplace for comedy clubs to start admitting Crickets!  I've seen some stand up in person and lots of stand-up on TV and in movies and I've NEVER SEEN CRICKET ONE.  Anyway.  When Crickets cricket as a response to a comedian Eating It, is that just them being themselves unconcerned with you, OR IS IT their way of heckling?  OH, I SUPPOSE YOU CAN DO BETTER THEN.  Why don't YOU get up here and tell some jokes.  Oh, you can't?  Cause your jokes sound JUST THE SAME as your heckling?  Everything You Say, it's all Cricketting to us!  That's what I thought.  SIT BACK DOWN.  NOW WHOSE DUMB.  Possibly all of us for having to go through this riff.  I guess I'll have to take most the blame though.  Awesome!  I think crickets know what they're doing when they Cricket at bad jokes.  They got to!  They know The Social Contract!  They're part of our world!  Anyway.  What's going on again.  I don't like it.  So that's good.
   Three paragraphs to go!  Heckler is just a couple letters off from Helper.  Wow.  Really makes ya think.  Heckers THINK they're helping!   MAYBE for some comedians ultimately maybe they are but let's not Give Them That Probably right?  And they aren't.  The baseline is NO, Hecklers ARE BAD!  Except for movie director Amy Heckerling.  DELIGHTFUL.  But Hecklers it adds an element.  Off the top of my head THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD TING for me.  Give me something to work with!  What's so wrong about that!  I guess sometimes it could be good and sometimes it could be bad!  That makes sense.  ON OCCASION I'd welcome it and on occasion FUCK OFF YOU PRICK.  This is probably just because I Have No Material As Of Now.  Once I have material No Need For Hecklers!  Wait, when people Heckle, ARE THEY RUDE?  Are they going to be MOCKING ME or something?  Do I need to prepare for people CHALLENIGNG MY AUTOHRITY?  Hmm.  What if I establish a baseline of How Much I Suck.  I'M ALREADY WORTHLESS.  THERE'S NOTHING TO DEGRADE ME TO.  I'M THE LOWEST OF TEH LOW.  How do you heckle that?  Looks like I win again!
   Penultimate paragraph.  Great!  Is there any profession other than Comedian that has to deal with Hecklers semi-regularly.  I can't think of any!  That could be the start of a Joke Premise.  Probably been done Two Thousand Times Before.  Now it can be done 2001 times.  AHH ARTHUR C CLARKE GET OUT OF TEH WAY.  Is this a good come back to a Heckler-- "I don't come down to where you work and WAIT A SECOND I BET YOU DO NOT HAVE A JOB."  that's the greatest insult of all!  If you're employed you're doing alright for yourself already!  The answer is NOPE that's not good and also NOT the voice I will be cultivating but now I know One Joke I Will Not Be Using!  Cross that off the list.  Okay so what's a good 'un in that Standard Formula.  HMM.  I don't come down to where you work and FUCK YOU YOU SUCK GET OUT OF HERE I'D BE HAPPIER WITHOUT YOU HERE COMPLETELY everyone thinks so.  KINDA funny!  Whatever.  I don't know where this person works.  Why would I bother guessing.  I make no assumptions about this guy or gal's life!  I wouldn't want someone to assume things about ME.  By heckling me during my act they're assuming I'm A Jerk.  FUCK EM.
   Last paragraph.  They might be right but THEY DON'T KNOW.  Anyway.  I DON'T HAVE TO BE A JERK.  That's the point!  HMM.  Interesting.  Incorporate tricking people into respecting me into my act.  What The Hell.  It could work!  Anyway.  I'd prefer Respect to Disrespect!  Seems like the logical way to go.  What else is up.  I watched The King Of Comedy for the first time around 2 or 3 months ago.  That was a pretty good movie.  Per my recollection Robert De Niro actually had some pretty good material in that film!  That character is going places!  Amazing.  If I were to work on music for twenty minutes tonight how could I make progress with Yesterday's Song.  Hmm.  I figured out the baselien of the versemusic yesterday.  Maybe figure out the chorus today!  OFF TEH TOP OF MY HEAD that seems like the logical way to progress!  Or Concrete Out the verse music more.  That'd be something, too!  OR I could accomplish nothing.  Anyway that's it! See ya tomorrow.

I'll Get Around To It

    Hey friends!  Got an entry in store for us.  I was gonna take a week off, but after doing Comedy Class last night it seemed kind of stupid to go out of my way to not sit down and write humorously.  So I only took Monday off!  Might I write a bonus entry on Friday to make up for it?  Who the Hell knows.  Probably 1/3-2/3rds of people!  Anyway, Introduction To Stand Up Comedy Class went pretty great!  I'd say it was an 8 out of 10 experience.  It's like 8 or 10 people.  Everybody is nice people including teacher.  I froze for I'm gonna say Fifty Seconds when prompted to Riff A Joke based on a prompt early on in the class.  Good!  Just sat there silently for close to a full minute while everyone stared at me.  Fun!  It was a learning experience.  We learnt I can't come up with jokes on Day One of Stand Up Class.  Maybe Next Week Brain Will Work Better!  Then there was an in class assignment where we had 10 minutes to privately write a few jokes based on Prompts and I was able to come up with several Crappy Jokes then, at least.  All in all I'm no worse than the rest of the class, it seems like its gonna be a fun and productive, well structured class, everyone's nice people, and I'm greatly looking forward to next week.  FUN.
    It already HAS BEEN productive.  I mean, no, I haven't learnt anything GROUNDBREAKING.  I'm not like I'm like Jokes have SET UPS AND PUNCHLINES?  What THE HELL?  But it was all presented in a very cohesive and cogent way and whatknot that gets me thinking about things Freshly!  Good stuff.  Anyway.  I think maybe what separates this website from stand up comedy is that this website is All Set Up.  Luckily there's lots of comedy in the set up!  I pepper in Laughs ALL THE TIME.  But the punch lines are FEW AND FAR BETWEEN.  Maybe the Caps Locks phrases are punchlines.  Maybe not 100% of the time, but there definitely is a lot of overlap between phrases All In Caps and Things What Which Pass For Punchlines.  Anyway.  Why bother making the analogy.  This Isn't Standup.  It's FLAT OUT NOT Set-up/Punch Line.  So THERE GOES THAT Last Few Sentence Analysis.  But this is what I have experience writing.  I shouldn't approach Writing Stand Up as A NEW THING.  Maybe I should try to transition to writing stand up from how I already write This.  Think about things that way.  That way I feel like I'm already Halfway There.  Feel like I already got a lot of practice under my belt.  WOW.  Practice.  That's good. ...Wait a second.  Means nothing.  Who cares.
    Got up slightly earlier today.  Happy about it!  Sleep is for the weak!  I dunno about that.  That sounds like some sort of Fascism Shit.  I disapprove of that message in reality!  Anyway.  Got to write Joke for next week.  I got about seven topics to choose from.  Ideally about one to two minutesworth I think.  Anyway.  PUNCH UP.  Re-working what I already wrote!  That's something that's missing from this website!  I might have done punch up for a couple of months a year or so ago and it was great when I did it!  But then I stopped.  I THINK I might have it in me to start again.  Hmm.  Continue same routine of Writing, but then start a 2nd Draft process Up Again in the evenings!  That would make things either Exponentially Better or Better by an Order Of Magnitude!  Maybe smoke some weed, do some editing.  Not just grammar.  But CONTENT.  Find out the 2nd go around that I'm not quite content with the content!  Things at the website could be so much better if I play my cards right.  Hmm.  What's a good card.  Six of Clubs!  Just picked a card at random.  Not the worst card in the world!
     It's a PROCESS.  What is.  I FORGET.  I saw Inside Out II on Saturday.  It was pretty good.  Using the bathroom seven times ruined the film for me a little bit, though!  Made things disjointed.  It was pretty good, but I dunno!  If I never had to use the bathroom, my life would have been a lot better!  That's the note I'll have when giving my Customer Review upon my death.  If we don't have to use the bathroom all the time think of how much better our lives could be in myriad of ways.  Life at some point Becomes The Interruption and I don't like it!  Ah well.  I'M NEVER gonna live this life again, I'll tell you that!  Next life I think is gonna be in some completely alternate universe with totally different rules.  See how that goes.  Could Only Be Different!  How bad can different be.  We've Seen How Bad THIS could be.  Different Can't Be Much Worse!  Hmm.  Anyway.  I didn't fully realize going into the film that it'd be about a 13 year old girl.  I was thinking Ah, Inside Out II, it's About People.  It's about THE INSIDE OF A PERSON'S MIND.  I'M A PERSON.   Took me about 2 seconds into the film to realize Oh Right I'm Pretty Specifically NOT A 13 Year Old Girl Though Now Upon Further Consideration.  NO SPOILERS!
    Fifth paragraph.  Hmm.  Several people in the class are from Queens!  Teacher is from New York I think.  Good deal.  I like it when I come into contact with people from Near Where I Live.  I think it has something to do with If There Was Ever A War On geography is one way to Ally Up.  Not even necessarily the BEST way.  But it's one way to do it if we had to Ally Up immediately.  On the fly.  Hmm.  That can't be it.  I'll figure it out during the 2nd draft!  Hmm.  That's no good.  That's not what 2nd Drafts are for!  Couple of elderly people in my class.  One lady and one man.  Probably both in their 70's.  GOOD.  If it ever came to cannibalism I think the consensus is to eat Elderly People first?  WRONG.  They seem like they're in the right place, though.  I'd like to see them Figure It Out first.  Comedy, I mean.  I have years and years to Crack Being A Comedian.  When They See A Light it's not because their time is up it's because THEIR TIME IS UP.  I'm trying new joke structures LEAVE ME BE.
      Sxith paragraph!  Hmm.  What Joke Structure.  You know-- a joke.  The structure to a joke is The Joke Structure I'm trying.  Anyway.  My teacher apparently has experience teaching Comedy To Kids.  That's what she usually does.  If I heard her correctly.  Interesting!  I'm A Child more or less unfortunately but maybe in this case it works in my favor!  She has experience teaching Kids Like Me!  Not sure I wanna encourage the Childish part of me.  Pretty sure I wanna be As Adult As Possible.  Hmm.  When I went to Inside Out II, I bought a beer at the concessions, and they called out my order number, but someone else responded thinking they were my number, so the concessionperson said do you have an ID? and the other customer said okay, for a soda?  The other person ordered a soda!  And they thought they were asking ID for a soda!  THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN EVERY DAY LIFE.  HOW COMICAL.  Gotta work that into my set.  I just did.
    Seventh paragraph.    Anyway.  What good is a second draft gonna do 95% of this entry.  Either I Leave In The Crap As Is or I Delete It.  I CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITH THIS BULLSHIT.  One complaint I have about Class is that we went straight from the definition of Punching Up (re-working on jokes) to Punching Down (making jokes about people with a lower status).  You'd think Punching Up and Down are related if you talk about them one after another!  THEY'RE NOT.  Not in this context!  How about that.  What if I just started writing Punchlines to Everything.  Or Most Things.  Or even Some Things!  Just write SOME Punchlines at SOME point.  The only punchlines I have any experience writing are Stand Alone Punchlines.  I do write jokes on the odd occasion every now and then but they're usually Stand Aloners.  I am basing this on nothing.  Just take my word for it!  THAT'S WHAT I DO with my word!  Pretty convenient way to approach things!  The point is, most stand-up is Set-Up AND THEN Punch Line.  I simply have very little experience doing that!  I have a lot of experience doing Set Up and also a separate little bit of experience doing Punch Line.  NO EXPERIENCE DOING BOTH AT ONCE.
    What the Hell.  Stand Up Comedy Is Hard.  Alright.  I never said it wasn't!  Practice makes perfect though.  It takes 10,000 hours to master something.  But if we're including This Website as Partial Credit That's GREAT NEWS For Me.  I'm halfway there already!  Hmm.  Sounds like I have to do 5,000 hours of stand up comedy Before I Reach Something Or Something.  I'm not even TRYING To Reach Anything.  What Are You Even Talking About.  I just wanna DO The Thing.  Gotta find my VOICE.  No one talked about that in Comedy Class yesterday.  Finding Yer Voice.  Interesting.  Maybe that's not a real thing.  WE ALL HAVE THE SAME VOICES IN OUR HEAD.  Amy Poehler. Lewis Black, Maya Hawke, etc.  So none of us have unique voices in the end.  OR maybe I have to develop My Standing Up Voice!  Hmm.  My voice is Telling Good Jokes.  Well, maybe one day it will be.  Right now it isn't!  I can't come up with good jokes Today.  We'll see where I'm at Tomorrow!
    Penultimate paragraph!  I'm not my BEST self when I'm in front of Stand Up Class. Not my Worst Self, either!  Solidly 5 out of 10 Self!  But it's not like I'm gonna show up in class next week and BE A STAND UP COMEDIAN and knock it out of the park.  Wait.  Maybe I Will Be. Lemme think about that.  Maybe I prepare myself and Assume The Correct Character Of Myself and Start Knocking It Out Of The Park at an 8 out of 10 or higher.  It's Probably Possible!  Gotta find MY VOICE.  I don't care if it's not talked about explicitly in class.  It's important that I Find My Voice!  Huh.  That implies THERE IS a voice out there For Me That WORKS.  There might not be!  But if There Is I gotta figure it out I guess!  Probably Halfway There already.  So that's good.  Anyway.  Voices change gradually over time!  That's what keeps things interesting!  That's good.
    Last paragraph.  Anyway.  What if The Set Up IS The Punch Line.  What does that mean.  Well I'm not sure.  One more paragraph to go!  Want to work on some music.  I can see myself motivating myself to work on some music during the weekend.  Perhaps even to the extent of Writing Song.  And then the entire world will be a better world!  It will be The World PLUS ANOTHER SONG OR TWO.  Couldn't hurt.  What exactly does Me Doing Mediocre Stand Up Comedy add to the world.  Hmm.  Absolutely Nothing.  Maybe I should focus on Doing Stuff That I'm Adequate At.  I dnuno.  Stand Up Comedy is A THING though.  What I'm Adequate At Is NOTHING.  Seems logical I'd do Teh Thing That's A Thing.  Okay!  Maybe I get good at stand up comedy Real Quick.  That'd be cool.  Let's go with that.  I live in the right place!  New York!  There's open mics and whatknot around, right?  Bringer shows it might have to be.  I dunno the specifics.  Hmm.  Lemme think about that for a second.  I'll be back tomorrow.

That's All For Today

    What's up!  Website time.  Ten whole paragraphs.  Right now I'm starting out at ZERO.  Of all the amounts of paragraphs I could be at, I'm at ZERO?  Doesn't seem fair.  Oh well.  I think Coke Zero is admitting failure.  That's the Coca Cola company saying There's Something Wrong With Diet Coke and that they're must be a NEW version of Zero Calorie Cocoa Cola.  There's nothing wrong with Diet Coke.  I like diet coke!  Coke Zero is pretty good, though, too!  There's nothing wrong with having options.  Coke Zero is like if Einstein just suddenly came up with a NEW theory of relativity.  I may not like that reference in retrospect in this situation.  If I'm gonna be a comedian I'm gonna have to fine tune my referencing each and every time.  Gotta make the Absolute Ideal Reference.  No HALF ASSING IT.  I'll start doing that LATER.  I've always approached E=Mc² with a degree of healthy skepticism.  Jut kind of seems like bullshit.  Too many undefined variables and constants that I don't quite understand to MEAN ANYTHING.  I say in the end it really MEANS NOTHING!  People give Einstein too much credit!
    Sure.  Human History would be forever changed if we pronounced his name EEEnstein and not Eyenstein.  Oh well.  No going back now.  We made our choice and we're stuck with it.  I wasn't involved in this decision. I dunno if, "WE," made this choice!  Ah well.  What if his name happened to be Frankenstein and not Einstein.  But everything else was the same.  People wouldn't think of Math and Science the same way exactly, though!  What did he have to do with Math.  IT WAS AN EQUATION I just said.  Math!  Whatever!  Had Chipotle for lunch.  Leaning towards getting Pizza for dinner.  BOOM.  Great meals.  Bang!  What else.  I've been urinating a lot lately.  Relatively unpleasantly.  The bladder gets full in an almost bordering on kind of painful way!  I'm overselling this by a degree of magnitude, sure!  But it's vaguely a point of contention I have!  There's the piece of trivia about Einstein that he was actually bad at math in school and/or into real life.  LEAVE THIS MAN ALONE.  HASN'T HE BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH.
    Third paragraph!  Sure seems that way.  If they don't think about it too hard, I would wager most people DO NOT notice the difference between Colas.  YES if you were consciously thinking about what soda you're drinking YOU CAN tell a Diet Pepsi from a Coke Zero. BUT IF I'M JUST LIVING YOUR LIFE and I happen to be drinking a Cola At The Moment I'M REALLY NOT GONNA PICK UP whether I'm drinking Diet Coke or Tab.  It will not register!  JUST GO FROM POINT A TO POINT B.  Drink Colas As They Come!  Not a big deal!  How come at Baseball Games they serve The Worst Cola In The World, though?  Royal Crown Cola I think at one of the stadiums.  Something Else Terrible somewhere else.  These are multi billion dollar organizations.  PLUS I'm paying 7+ dollars for my drink.  What's stopping us from me having a regular normal soft drink?  I just looked it up and Mets seem to serve Pepsi and Yankees seem to serve Also Pepsi.  But when I was a kid I vaguely remember them serving The Lowest Of The Low.  Why!  So they could afford to pay Bobby Bonilla.  I dunno I think I'd rather have the Pepsi! 
    I just went through Me Not Caring About Which Kind Of Cola.  Well, it's true, Except for The Worst Cola.  The absolute shittiest are definitely different.  So that's good!  Yeah!  Shitty cola gonna be too much syrup.  That's my guess.  OH NO Bladder starting to fill up in again in a kind of painful way.  This might be something I have to deal with indefinitely now. What.  Having to urinate?  Yeah!  But for some reason Now It's Kind Of A Painful Thing?  I dunno!  Too often and when the urge hits its kinda a bit too sharp.  Ah well.  Good chance this goes away within the next half hour to an hour.  That's what I'm putting my money on!  Anyway.  My Mom was watching Good Will Hunting this morning.  I like it!  Someone's gotta watch it.  Might as well keep it in the family.  Huh.  My brother is visiting his friend in Massachusetts this week so I jokingly said are you watching it because Brother is visiting his friend in Massachusetts and she said YES.  And I thought Hmm.  I don't really know my Mother that well.  I don't think anybody really does.
   Fifth paragraph.  That story is filled with half truths.  I mostly expected her to say Yes.  I don't know Why Or How but I kinda suspected it to be the case!  I still don't really KNOW Mother though.  I don't GET HER.  But it doesn't shock me That She Acts The Way She Does though!  I can predict her behavior sometimes but I can't necessarily explain it.  Hmm.  What else is up.  In another dimension I'd like to have gone to college in Boston.  Not really qualified to go to one of Them Top Schools.  Even in Another Dimension!  Not sure exactly which college is a good fit In This Other Dimension.  I'll look that up later.  Either in this dimension or if I could get word to myself in another dimension I'll get That Alternate Me to LTURQ maybe.  Someone's gotta!  How many dimensions are there.  Too many!  That's my opinion.  One Dimension is a band.  Hmm.  That's almost accurate.  Hey the day is half over.
   FOUR DIMENSIONS IS ENOUGH.  FIVE, SIX TOPS.  We don't need more than that!  Not up to me though.  Wonder what Frankenstein would have to say on this subject.  The scientist not the monster.  You could probably talk me into being okay with 11 or 12 dimensions.  But at some point ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.  So that's good.  The original Book Frankenstein WAS a Scientist as well as a monster!  Wait now I'm mixing up Original Frankensteins.  Doctor and Creation.  SO WHAT.  Also Albert Einstein The Scientist you could argue Was A Monster as well as a scientist.  He propagated genocide and whatknot!  To every Scientist there is also a Monster!  Two sides of the same coin!  Not sure if Einstein genocided anyone.  He enabled genocide!  What.  A.  DICK.  Either way he was just trying to do his best just like the rest of us!  Wanted to make it with Marilyn Monroe!  So what!  I think Marilyn Monroe was a little after his time.  So what. 
    Seventh paragraph.  I guess I have four more paragraphs in me.  Not good ones.  But ones on par with the previous ones, sure!  I don't like it.  Hmm.  What do I got going on for me this weekend.  Lots of good stuff!  Don't need to get into specifics as I don't wanna count my eggs before they hatch.  Unless I'm just gonna cook myself eggs.  Then I've already won Just Having The Eggs.  Don't need to wait.  In fact, once the egg hatches Now I'm Screwed!  I was gonna enjoy a delicious scrambled or fried egg and now I'm stuck with some dumb chickling?  I don't like it!  Do people eat Baby Chicken.  Gotta be different than eating regular chicken.  Every Other Baby Animal is marketed separately as Different Food when it's Baby Animal.  Hmm.  Those are land mammals though.  Birds are Flyers.  AND also come from Hatchlings.  Couldn't be more different!  What's going on again.  Is it a thing where people eat Elderly Animals As A Thing.  Probably!  Everything Is A Thing At Some Point!
   Three paragraphs left!  Jeez.  Started getting Pepperoni Pizza again the last few months.  After going 1.5 DECADES abstaining from meat toppings for health/calorie reasons.  Right back at it!  Delicious.  Not a big deal.  There's not that much pepperoni on your average pepperoni slice.  No one's gonna be the wiser in the end!  I'm not gonna start getting Meat Lovers.  But a single topping of Pepperoni?  One out of Three times I get pizza?  Sure!  I See No Harm!  Who cares what I see.  IT'S WHAT GOD SEES THAT MATTERS.  Well who knows what God sees.  He might be watching women in the shower while I'm eating my pizza.  We have no clue.  Can't live our life based on What God May Or May Not be looking at!  GOTTA DO OUR OWN DAMN THING.  The point is if God sees me eating Pepperoni Pizza enough times he'll give me Heart Disease or something.  That's why I need YOU to DISTRACT HIM while I'm eating it!  I'll return the favor somehow some day.  Probably.  It's not out of the question!  I got lots of free time, why not, I'll return some favors!
   Penultimate paragraph.  Okay!  I don't think I want pepperoni today!  The burrito bowl I had today was spicy enough!  Now that's a spicy meatball!  Who coined that phrase.  "Now That's A Spicy Meatball!"  Someone said that.  Hmm.  From a commercial for Alka Seltzer in 1969.  Fascinating.  I HATE Seltzer.  I love soda more than 99.95% of people but flavorless carbonated water is terrible.  Now THAT'S A Spicy Meatball Of A Take!  Well I guess 80% of people probably agree it's Terrible.  BUT I find it OFFENSIVE.  I guess it's BECAUSE I Like Soda So Much otherwise.  That flavorless Pop is so bad.  I Hate It So Much.  Riles Me Up!  Hmm.  Oh well.  Anyway.  Gotta drink SOMETHING.  And not water.  If you could drink anything other than water Why Wouldn't You.  Have some joy in your life!  I dunno.  One more paragraph to go.  Worst part about Shitty Entry Today is that it means I gotta write next week!  To replace This Entry!  Can't have This Entry be The Latest Entry Indefinitely.  GOD FUCK IT.
   Last paragraph!  I don't gotta do knothing!  We'lls ee!  Anyway.  What else is up.  I should buy my ticket for Inside Out II tonight.  Make sure I get an Aisle seat!  OR if its one of the theaters with no Aisles then I Dunno Some Aislelike Middle Seat.  Whatever.  Wonder what will happen in that movie.  I know someone turns inside out but I'm not sure if they survive or what.  If it's Inside Out II does that mean They're Turning RightBackInward this time?  Hmm.  IS THE SCIENCE correct in Inside Out II.  IS THIS really how people work.  WHAT?  NO?  I've wasted my time with this franchise, then!  YES I'm just desperately Saying Things to fill up space until I'm done with the entry.  Based on what I remember from Inside Out I, Inside Out Brain Setup is nothing like How I Work.  I'm not sure I have emotions, for one.  That's FOR ONE.  Anyway the entry is over now!  I'll probably see you next week but I wish I wouldn't.  Later!

I Don't Write Em Like I Used To

    That's good.  Hey, friends!  Time to write penultimate entry of the week!  Maybe I reward myself with a Week Off from the Website next week!  I think we're due for some time off.  In the meantime though, let's get into it!  OH MY there's a new Coldplay album coming out in October.  I'm not a huge Coldplay fanatic but Damnit if I don't appreciate seven of their songs!  What's their bandname all about.  COLDPLAY?  IS THAT A SEX THING?  It's possible every bandname is a Sex Thing.  Whatever you thought your favorite Band's band name meant-- wrong! -- actually A Sex Thing!  Maybe that's partially why Coldplay says their biggest influences were Vanilla Ice and The Freezer Men.  Didn't make sense until just now!  Are we going to pretend that The Freezer Men exist?  I dunno!  I could have just said The Ice Cream Boys.  That's at least a band that SOME people recognize as real in reality.  Can we use Coldplay to fight Climate Change.  I guess.  If they chose to write socially conscious lyrics.  Seems like they would.  Seems like they might already do.  I don't like it.
    Got a delicious chicken pot pie for dinner tonight.  But I'm being PotPieShamed by my Dad to leave it in the oven for shorter than I want to!  It's a scorcher out there today and the longer the oven is on, the warmer it is inside the house!  Also, there's risk of Power Going Out today apparently.  WHAT IF the electricity goes out while the oven is on.  One possible scenario is The Gas might continue going and I can't use the electricity to turn the gas off.  So we all eventually die of asphyxiation and it's all because of Me & My Pot Pie.  GREAT.  Looking forward to the CPP all the more.  DELICIOUSLY worth the risk!  Gonna use a fork and everything.  Huh.  Anyway.  Always bothered me that Ralphie AKA Joey Pants AKA Joe Pantoliano is too WHITE for being in the Soprano Crime Family.  I don't get it!  Everyone else is Italiano Flavored.  He's more White Tinted.  Just never sat well with me.  Does that make me a racist?  That ALONE?  No.  But it could be used as a data point to support me being a racist along with other data points if you've got them!  I'd like to see this other evidence you've got!  I'm interested to see where I am on the racism spectrum!  Could be we're all more racist than we'd like.  Except for Racists.  They see how racist they are and think DAMNIT NOT RACIST ENOUGH.
    Why do I think I'm on the racism scale at all.  Because All People make me uncomfortable including people of other races.  ALSO It's the third paragraph and I haven't even wished anyone Happy Juneteenth yet.  Ah.  I don't think We're All More Racist than we'd like.  GEN Z.  Am I right?  They probably aren't racist at all.  If I were them I'd be Post Racism at least.  That'd be my instinct.  GEN ALPHA back to being racist, though!  Thems the breaks!  If you came up with Obama being President HEY GREAT NEWS RACISM ON THE RUN!  But then if you were growing when Trump was president it might be more like HEY WHAT'S ALL THIS ABOUT RACISM SOUNDS INTERESTING.  I dunno.  I have no idea!  Who the Hell knows what kids of other generations go through.  I know what Mid Millenials go through.  I'm right in the middle of Millenialism and I understand about my own specific age AND THAT'S IT.  GOOD.  But OH BOY if you were born in 1988 DO I GET IT.  Batman Forever.  Right?  That's a reference!  I MAY BE SPEAKING ONLY TO MYSELF.  Nah.  All 1988'rs get it.  Batman Forever!  THESE GUYS KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
    When you're a comedian, do you talk to the audience like you're talking to yourself but they're you but it's really only yourself but you trick them into thinking they relate to you?  Hmm.  That sounds like What Comedians Do.  More or less.  But it has to be true to some extent.  If they don't know Batman Forever, they don't know Batman Forever!  Either they do or they don't!  I dunno.  There's a SPECTRUM of relating to Batman Forever.  It's not ANALOG.  I guess.  Anyway.  Comedians make jokes.  Either one liners or stories or wordplay.  Try to be clever or something!  Make the audience laugh!  THAT'S what Comedians do!  I dunno.  It might be Make References And Make Audience Feel Included.  That sounds right, too.  If I told you out of nowhere I'M ON THE SPECTRUM which spectrum would you assume I was on.  Autism?  Sexuality?  Spectrum High Speed Internet?  Google Most Popular Spectrums.  Maybe I should be participating in some of these!  Google is only telling me the best deals Spectrum High Speed Internet has to offer.  THAT'S RIGHT I googled "Most popular spectrums."  I don't just play an idiot on the website.  I play one in real life!
   Fifth paragraph.  If I wrote an episode of the Sopranos there'd be a scene where they walk down a city street and as a pedestrian walked by in the other direction, a character, maybe Christopher, would say HEY, I'M A SOPRANO OVER HERE!  Not sure why that was necessary.  Oh, I know.  To give evidence of my TV Writing ability!  Now you see that I can knock dialogue out of the park!  Good.  Whatever.  Just figured out a day or two ago that my AcoustoElectric guitar has knobs for Treble and Bass.  Didn't fully register that before!  I was recording them into the 8 track with the Treble and Bass turned all the way up!  Now I know I can adjust that-- to produce a different sound!  Wow!  Maybe keep the Treble up and turn down the Bass.  I've always been a Treble kind of guy.  Bass has it's place but you're gonna have a hard time talking me out of being Pro-Treble in general.  Shouldn't they compliment one another.  It's not about choosing bass or treble. It's having them work with each other.  WRONG.  GOTTA PICK.
   Halfway through the entry!  I feel like every year Juneteenth Fulfills the Prophesy further.  I bet in 2024 there are thousands of people-- and not just young children-- who are first Learning The Tale of Juneteenth Themselves.  THE HOLIDAY OF JUNETEENTH becomes more and more true!  I dunno.  I don't think The News Of Slavery Being Over is News To Anyone.  People aren't like WAIT WHAT.  EMANCIPATION?  REALLY?  I THOUGHT THIS WAS STILL GOING ON.  BUT It's News that THE NEWS OF THE NEWS IS NEW.  People weren't aware of THAT.  That might be logical sequence of words.  I can't go through it any further.  I don't have it in me!  And I know you don't care either.  Thanks for that!  I don't hold it against you.  I take it as a blessing.  You shouldn't sweat the small stuff!  AMERICA'S independence day is in 15 days.  That's when USA ITSELF celebrates freedom from bondage.  YES.  In your FACE British Royal Family.  SUCK IT.  Rub it in their face big time this year, I say!  For fun!  What's fun about that.  Either the Rubbing It In Their Face or the Sucking It I suppose.
   Seventh paragraph.  Four more paragraphs to go!  Looks like Juneteenth is a FUN holiday.  I wasn't sure where it was on the Solemn Holiday/Fun Holiday scale so I LOOKED IT UP and guess what IT COULD BE A FUN HOLIDAY for people who celebrate it.  Nice!  CAN white people celebrate it.  I mean, not on our own, right?  All White Juneteenth BBQs seem like they'd be rare.  But if you're a black people hosting BBQs you can surely invite some white friends too, right?  We Enjoy Fun!  I Want To Have A Good Time!  WOW.  It's my goal in the next 5 years to be at a Juneteenth Party.  Fine TEN years.  I'll give Society some time to work it out!  But at some point I want this to happen.  Anyway.  That'd be like inviting a black person to a Passover Seder.  FINE.  You wanna come over to Passover?  Let's make it happen.  Not exactly.  I am part of America.  Juneteenth is now a FEDERAL holiday.  Joe Biden made it so!  THIS IS AMERICA HOLIDAY NOW black people.  BELONGS TO ALL OF US!  That's what the President says.  Okay.
    Three paragraphs to go.  Not sure what that means.  Let's hope Nothing!  If what I said Means Something I've gone wrong somewhere.  Hmm.  Is it possible James Gandolfini as Tony Soprano was overrated?  Usually when I cycle through The Sopranos I agree that he's Masterclass!  BUT this specific time I'm watching it SEEMS KINDA MID.  It's pretty good but, I dunno, MEH!  I dunno.  It's pretty good.  Not sure what the deal is with having Barbeques on Juneteenth so close to July Fourth.  Seems like there might be some conflict of interest there.  Just worried about that.   WHAT THE HELL is Nvidia.  I see it's the most valuable company in the world suddenly these days and I don't know WHAT IT IS or HOW IT'S PRONOUNCED.  I'm gonna guess CELL PHONES.  DAMNIT.  I looked it up and I STILL don't get it.  It's not cell phones.  Software and hardware.  "Fabless."  GPUs and APIs.  Who the Hell are these people.  Either way I GUESS CONGRATULATIONS?  Are they American Company?  I THINK so!
   Penultimate paragraph.  Hmm.  Normally I put in Chicken Pot Pie (CPP) for 1.5 hours.  Gonne put it in for 1.25 hours to meet my Dad halfway in terms of putting it in for less time!  STILL looking forward to that sucker!  Good deal!  Looks like I'll be seeing the Inside Out II this weekend but I am also interested in seeing the latest Russell Crowe Exorcism movie.  Isn't getting great reviews but I like that genre of movie!  Horror!  It makes sense to me!  LIFE is one big horror!  Rings true!  Life is a comedy-horror, though.  There's JOKES, too!  Is it Satire?  No.  Life isn't clever enough to be satire!  What kinda comedy is it, then.  HMM.  I don't know how to explain the jokes in life.  Just kinda quirky I guess.  Atmospheric Comedy!  Whatever.  What do I know about life.  All I am qualified to talk about is My life.  Not Lives in general.  I'm sure many of your lives include satire level comedy!  Well done!
    Last paragraph!  I don't get it!  The comedy of life.  Hmm.  It's funny but I can't quite put my finger on it!  Anyway.  Looking forward to Stand Up Class.  Could do pretty well with that, I think! Or I could bomb and it could be a disappointment.  Either way I'll figure something out to move my life forward!  Stuff Gonna Happen one way or another.  That's my attitude on stage I think.  I could do pretty well with my time left up here!  Or I could bomb!  I'll figure Something out though!  Somethin' Gotta Happen While I'm Up Here!  Makes sense.  Ideally I'd have MATERIAL to say.  So that while I'm either Bombing Or Not Bombing I'd have stuff to talk about in the meantime.  That sounds like a real Optimum Situation!  Anyway.  I guess that's it for today.  I'll see ya tomorrow!

Well It's Been Fun

    Hi!  Gotta write an entry!  My dad is walking again today!  Before, he was talking like he may never take walks again because he fell down this one time.  I didn't like that attitude!  I'm glad to see him get right back on the horse!  That's how we do things in my family.  We fall down while taking walks?  So what!  We keep taking walks in the future anyway!  Unless we keep falling down.  At some point, if we fall down enough times, we'd probably stop taking walks.  If we fall down two or three dozen times From Walking I imagine we'd decide to stop.  Luckily, so far it hasn't come to that!  Anyway!  Got Deli Delivery coming within the next two hours.  I got a bunch of things.  Three!  I don't know which to have for tonight.  Whatever my impulses dictate!  Seems like that might be two hot dogs with fries.  What Great Impulsion.  Tried recording some music last night for 15 minutes before I realized Nope this is shit.  Absolute garbage.  Not working out at all.  That'll happen!  Apparently.
    I was hoping I was gonna be Genius From Now On!  That's not in the cards, though.  Doing things off the top of my head is still likely to be shit!  Waht, "From Now On."  What exactly in my life changed that makes me supposedly suddenly some sort of savant.  Hmm.  Not ONE thing.  Everything together.  I SAY all the pieces of my life have come together in the last few weeks or months and make me extremely creative and talented at multiple things!  Not sure WHAT IT WAS.  But IT HAPPENED.  Hmm.  Evidence is still out on that it seems.  Classes I've Taken for one.  That'll make me better at Artistic Endeavors.  The ACT of working on things themselves.  READING BOOKS and watching and listening to Things.  I've kicked it into overdrive the last year or so!  If I'm not getting exponentially more qualified at doing at Whatever I Try My Hand At then I DUNNO WHAT.  Haven't done laundry in at least a month.  I shaved a few days ago, though!  Shaving is The Laundry Of The Face!
   Tell me about it.  Alright.  Into season III of the Sopranos.  The Cop Ranos.  That's the other side of the coin!  The Cops don't like the Sopranos.  If only Ranos meant something.  What am I gonna be watching when I'm through with The Sopranos!  Whom knows.  Some sort of Prestige Drama Series I've already seen before.  But WHAT.  The film The Prestige.  NOT SERIES ENOUGH.  I'm not being Serious enough with that answer.  Now that I think about it, I'm looking forward to Inside Out II because IT LOOKS REFRESHING.  Fluidwise.  I want to DRINK the characters LIQUIDLIKE.  They remind me of water and other beverages I want to HYDRATE WITH.  I may be picturing another film.  That film where there was a character Who Was Water.  Elemental.  I think I'm just planting The Water Character into The Inside Out II universe and it seems like something I would enjoy on a hot dog day afternoon.  I dunno!  I just looked it up and several of these Inside Out II Characters are reminiscent of The Water Elemental Character.  SO that's where that comes from.  BLUE.  That's how they remind me.  One of them has blue hair.  One of them is blue.  THAT'S WATER IF I EVER HEARD OR SAW ONE.
     Okay.  That's good!  I can't be that thirsty.  I have two drinks in front of me!  Beer and iced coffee!  Both are dark beverages though.  So I dunno.  Also alcohol dehydrates you per my understanding of science.  Coffee might, too!  Science is still out on that per my understanding!  Whatever.  Summer begins in a few days.  Summer!  Imagine it!  A Season!  I've heard of those things before.  I've got absolutely nothing against That Upcoming Period Of Time!  If it were up to me It'd Be Great!  It's partly up to me.  When it comes down to it I have A HUGE SAY in The Quality Of My Specific Life.  Let's Go Ahead And Make My Upcoming Season Great Then.  YEAH.  Okay!  Gonna have to pace myself for the peaks and valleys of The 3 Month Time Period.  Alright, sure, why not!  Are there any plateaus in Summer?  Seems like there would be.  I'm thinking Early To Mid August is a plateau.  That'll surely come into play.  Gotta be prepared for that!  What if I'm wrong on that.  I can't be wrong.  If I'm wrong God Help Us All.           
    Fifth paragraph.  Wonderful.  What else is up.  Plateau better be at HIGH ground and not low ground!  Low ground Plateau sounds more like a Valley.  Not sure I'm comfortable with that!  What's going on again.  I was listening to The Hold Steady "Constructive Summer" 8 or 10 times so far this year is the point and I'm gonna build something this summer!  Creative Shit!  Something more than just the website!  Makes sense.  I take songs to heart!  PIANOMAN?  GET OUT OF THE WAY!  Out of the tens of thousands of halfway appropriate songs I coulda joked there... I DON'T HATE IT.  I've never possessed a Billy Joel Mp3 and I guess at this point I never will.  As I suppose we're decades past the point of people Having Mp3s.  Maybe Mp3s come back.  Survivalist Type People start downloading Mp3s again because they don't trust The Internet.  Hmm.  People who make music use mp3s.  To listen to their own music.  Not me.  I'm the WAV of the future.  And I use file formats that reflect me thusly!  Ok.   
    Halfway through the entry!  Amazing!  Shit!  I have to write an entire five more paragraphs!  Why does this always happen to me.  Cause I'm the only one who does this.  Ah.  Can't very well happen To Another.  I'm a lightning rod for The Curse Of Having To Write Nonsense Blog Paragraphs.  If I were David Chase I would have called the show Tony Soprano and not The Sopranos because it's really just about him.  Carmela is a big supporting character and AJ and Meadow come up often but C'MON it's really heavily focused Just Around Tony.  The features should all have said Coming up, on the next episode of Tony Soprano...  Anyway my Deli Delivery just came!  Put everything in the fridge.  We're 3 hours or so away from me eating dinner!  That's not soon enough for me to justify leaving it out!  It would spoil.  To the victor goes the spoils.  Why would the victor want Spoils.  Victor gonna want Some Freshness!  That's what I'd want if I were ever victorious!
    Seventh paragraph.  Okay!  Only four more paragraphs to go.  I can count to that on ONE HAND.  Believe me-- I just tested it out to make sure!  Let's see.  Sandwich didn't seem very thorough.  Not a very deep sandwich!  This sandwich coulda been more contented.  Ah well.  That's tomorrow's problem!  I think they freakin' buttered this bread.  I separated the meat from the bread because I'ma wanna microwave the meat when I heat it up tomorrow.  Yeah.  And I think the bread is MOIST.  MOIST FROM BUTTER.  Who butters bread in a corn beef sandwich.  These fuckin' idiots that's who.  Wouldn't that be UNKOSHER.  I must be wrong.  Let's Say I'm Wrong.  Okay I'm Wrong WHAT OF IT.  Let's move on with our lives!  I was wrong and now I'll be right with the next thing SO WHAT.  Hmm.  Anyway.  What else makes bread moist.  I dunno.  The corn beef was kinda juicy I guess.  But I don't think it was that juicy!  Anyway.  I like buttered bread.  It's delicious!  I don't want it now but am I sure I don't want it now if I enjoy it in general?  Blessing in disguise.
    Three paragraphs to go.  Tony's mother is also a Soprano.  She's incorporated as a Main Character in the first 2 seasons.  HIS SISTER perhaps is part of the Group, as well.  WAIT A SECOND are they just The Soprano Crime Family.  Hmm. Never thought about it that way.  MAYBE!  If two thirds of the characters are accurately described as part of The Soprano Crime Family then suddenly we're working with an appropriate television show title!  Well, that's good!  Took me 25 years, but to be fair at Year Zero I was 9 or 10 years old.  So I was naive when it came to these matters.  What matters Weren't I naive when it came to?  Hmm.  Who CARES!  WOW The Stand Up Class just filled up.  As of 15 minutes ago there was one spot left.  No Longer!  Now it's full!  This is gonna be a blast and a half.  Could Stand Up Comedy be my Constructive Summer?  YES.  That COULD qualify!  Anyway.  Two more paragraphs to go with this bullshit!
    I don't like this entry, either!  But it's what we're stuck with!  I mean, complaining about buttered bread in a sandwich?  THAT'S NOT NEWS.  Also when you refrigerate buttered bread and eat it later, you're suffering all the consequences of eating the butter but you're not really gonna taste the butter as much as if you were eating it fresh.  What even is the point!  Probably isn't one!  What else is up.  Seems like there's a Debate For President next week.  Guess I'm watching that.  It's between That Guy Who We're Forced To Settle For and That Terrible Awful No Good Very Bad Person.  Why watch it if I already know who I'm supporting?  It's ENTERTAINMENT to watch it!  IT MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT OUR FUTURE.  MAYBE.  Maybe the Settlement Person comes off as AVERAGE!  That'd be a good time!  Anyway.  At least we got lots of good leaders waiting in the wings.  You know like The Younger Jerks And Idiots and Whatknot.  One more paragraph to go!
    Hmm.  Moderator might be someone we can all aspire to!  Wouldn't count on that, either!  Ah well.  Let's see.  Political Humor is a big arena open to me for my Stand Up Comedy.  People want to laugh at what's going on in the world today because the other option is cry.  Or applaud I guess.  Salute.  March.  Laugh.  I SAID LAUGH.  Oh.  I'd rather Not Have SadFunny Things Happen To Laugh At than Have To Laugh At Something SadFunny.  But that's not up to me to decide!  Okay.  I guess.  I can decrease awareness of Sad Things.  That'd be productive!  The Less You Know!  That's a good ad campaign I feel.  Anyway.  I depressed myself just by generically thinking about Political Stand Up Comedy for 90 seconds.  Imagine having to do it for 40 years.  I don't like POLITICS.  I'M AGAINST IT.  That's good.  The point is I don't think I wanna do that Myself now that I think about it!  Maybe observational humor.  Have you ever noticed that it's the end of the entry already and there's no time for new jokes? Cause it's true!  I'll see ya later!

That Sounds Like Me

    Hey, friends!  Time to start a new week.  Now!  Now is the time.  No time like the present.  The past and future are pretty similar but not quite!  Ended up skipping the movie this weekend.  My dad fell down while walking outside on the concrete and I accompanied him to Urgent Care Visit a couple of hours before The Movie was gonna be.  So I canceled the ticket I had bought!  Didn't wanna rush it.  My father is fine.  He ended up having to go to Emergency Room after Urgent Care Visit but all in all he's okay!  Broke his nose and needed stitches in his lip but he'll survive!  What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.  Now his lower lip and nose will be Built Back Better per my understanding!  Anyway.  It's not his fault, he got distracted by SPRINKLERS.  He was at risk of getting wet so he got discombobulated and fell down.  It happens to the best of us!  Then it happens to the Rest Of Us!  Then it happens to My Dad!  SLAM.
    Anyway.  I did not accompany my Dad to Emergency Room because he decided he didn't need me!  I'm not gonna argue with that!  Good news for me I Say!  Anyway.  My brother came over for a couple of hours on Father's Day The Next Day.  Great!  Nothing happened there.  He did not bring his camera.  This documentary he promised me may never happen!  But what's important is that it got Creative Juices flowing in my brain nonetheless.  Wow.  Creative Juices?  That'll pay off Big Time.  Got an e-mail this morning from UCB Teacher saying that I PASSED my last class.  Also got a short paragraph of notes.  It was PRAISE notes.  I liked the notes.  Made me feel good about myself.  If I could give notes on this teacher's notes it would be really positive notes.  This may be the best Teachers' Notes Post-A-Class that I ever got!   Basically my interpretation was (1) that he was saying that it's okay that I never get too deep into character and Don't Play Things Big.  It works for me!  Also (2) in my own way I am a good Listener and do a good job Yes Anding.  I guess it's true to some degree!  I can see how that might make sense in some strange from of the truth!  It's possible I put too much of my own spin on those notes in that interpretation now that I think about it.  Spin City am I right!  NO.
    Ah well.  Worked on some music this weekend.  Not sure what I accomplished exactly.  I didn't write any songs or anything.  But maybe some snippets of ideas.  I made more progress with Music than I have in a long time!  Made more progress with Kathleen Hanna book.  I got into Ad Rock territory!  She is into Ad Rock and I'm okay with it!  I find it relatable and charming and understandable and I don't feel threatened or anything.  This is how life goes!  Now that I think about it I'm into Ad Rock, too!  Mostly As A Beastie Boy, but what's the difference.  One is SEX thing and one is MUSIC thing.  Music is Sex.  Hmm.  Close enough.  I think I may have figured out a Sound I might want to continue working within the milieu of re: making music!  It's simple, intuitive, and sounds like a sound I wanna hear myself more or less these days.  Plug in acousticelectric into 8 Track with Zero Effects and do "PhoneVox" mastering on the complete song after singing as well.  It kinda sounds like light electric guitar afterwards.  I think.  It did this one time.  I liked it!
   Cracked that code.  Could be!  Good chance I tool around with that!  We'll see!  Whatever.  Anyway.  Celebrated Fathers Day by watching 10 minutes of Jaws.  That's what my Mom decided to put into action so that's what we did!  I guess there's plenty of more inappropriate things that could have been done.  Jews.  Is that some sort of PunParody you could make with Jaws?  Yes.  I just did it.  Blam.  Too bad James Gandolfini died.  I BET he if he were alive he'd do some Acting that's like Hey did you see James Gandolfini's latest acting?  It's totally unlike PREVIOUS acting.  Not only is it Amazing Acting and he's blowing his previous acting out of the water but also it's just great in a completely new way!  We're deprived of ever seeing A New James Gandolfini.  Ah well.  I'LL DO IT.  Michael Kornblum.  I'll act in something and we'll just all take for granted It's As Good As Whatever The New James Gandolfini Would Have Been Should He Have Survived To Act Some More.  Huh?  It makes sense!
    Fifth paragraph.  I can do this!  I dunno!  I'm watching The Sopranos this time around and I THINK I can do whatever James Gandolfini is doing now that I think about it!  Lemme re-check Improve Class Notes to see if there's any hint of teacher suggesting anything about my great General Acting Skills Specifically.  Hmm.  No.  Not exactly.  But it's open to interpretation I suppose.  What else is up.  I don't look anything like James Gandolfini.  I wouldn't be playing the same characters as him!  For actors like me and The Great Gandolfini as he'd be called if he were a Magician IT'S ALL ABOUT THE ROLE.  Our physicality is SECONDARY.  I guess.  The main good part about being an actor is for once in my life I'd Know What To Say.  Off the top of my head that's what is most appealing.  That's what draws in a lot of people probably!  Also, not only do I know what to say, but some other jerk has to entertain what I say like it's worth something!  Amazing.
   Halfway through the entry.  Hmm.  Got Stand Up Class in a week and three hours.  Amazing.  I'm looking forward to that!  Could be good.  Maybe I make a friend.  Odds are that 1/3-1/2 if the class is in NYC.  What's stopping them from becoming my friend Besides Myself.  Themselves, I guess.  Or OTHERS.  Anyway I think I'm due for A Friend.  What exactly do I think Friendship is. I dunno.  Been a while since I had a friend.  I dunno what adult friendship looks like exactly.  A SHARING OF THOUGHTS AND IDEAS.  Okay.  Maybe that's part of it I guess.  CARING ABOUT ONE ANOTHER.  I dunno about that.  Sounds right in spirit but in practice I'm not sure how I feel about Caring About Someone Else!  Vice Versa as well.  Just kinda feels off!  Well maybe that's cause this is still theoretical.  Once a reality, when you make a friend, The Caring About Them comes naturally!  I don't know.  Hard to say.  What's a third attribute of Friendship.  SOMEONE TO DO SOMETHING WITH.  Yeah.  I like!  I was gonna be doing stuff anyway to fill up all my empty time.  Now maybe someone else is gonna help me entertain myself!  IN FACT it's no longer entertaining myself.  Now it's PLURAL.
    Four more paragraphs to go.  I guess I can do that relatively easily and/or quickly.  It'll happen without too much effort.  Anyway, I guess I'm not gonna see Inside Out II until next weekend.  That's okay.  What movie am I missing that I'd be seeing otherwise.  I dunno.  They don't have the showtimes yet for this upcoming weekend!  ANYWAY.  Probably some sort of World War II movie.  It was D-Day recently.  You're gonna wanna capitalize on the popularity of that celebration while you still can.  Ugh.  I wanna work on music during the Evenings of The Week instead of waiting for the weekends and/or weeks where I'm taking time off from Entrying but I don't think I'd be able to accomplish anything worthwhile.  Just don't have the creative juices flowing EVEN IF I sit down and pick up my guitar and press record and Even Inhale Marijuanas Previous!  I'm exhausted.  I got nothin in me PRESUMABLY.  Maybe I try to sit down with guitar tonight And I Got Somethin' In Me I Dunno.  We'll see!  Three more paragraphs to go here.  Let's focus on THAT.  Cause it's a PROBLEM.
    Okay!  Wonderful.  What to do for dinner tonight.  I could do practically anything I want.  What the Hell.  Is this Heaven or is this Hell.  Off the top of my head I Suppose I Haven't Had Taco Bell In A While.  Sure.  Don't need to accommodate my parents, also.  Dinner is all for me!  Negative thing about Taco Bell is they take a long time to get here.  Always cold by the time it's here!  And Taco Bell don't microwave right!  Cause Hard Shell taco becomes less hard in the microwave!  Ah well.  It's still pretty good I guess.  Probably won't be my Ultimate Option though!  Anyway.  Get somethin' frivolous like Pizza Hut.  I haven't had pizza hut in 5-10 years.  DELICIOUS.  Very High in calories.  But WHAT A MEAL!  A real blast from the past is Pizza Hut.  Maybe I get Regular Pizza.  That's a good idea!  Alright.  Wait.  No.  I had pizza last night.  Nevermind on that one!  Huh.  Is Chinese Food a thing.  Lemme think about that one.  Chinese Food.  Hmm.  I dunno.  Gonna have to carefully consider.
   Penultimate paragraph.  I was thinking about Chipotle originally but was like Nah I don't want rice tonight.  BUT when I think about Chinese Food, now I'm like sure I'd like some rice with that!  Funny how Life Works sometimes!  ALL I WANT IS CONTINUITY.  I don't think that's too much to ask!  But apparently it is!  Hmm.  I just spent over a paragraph talking about what I was gonna get for dinner?  Jeez!  Sorry!  I didn't do it on purpose!  I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE I WAS DOING IT.  Fuck!  AH WELL.  Such is life I guess.  Tomorrow's entry SHOULD be better than today's.  Now I know to CONSCIOUSLY avoid talking about What To Sup Upon.  Progress!  I should be able to finish Kathleen Hanna book this weekend.  And then it's onto Dave Grohl book!  Amazing.  He plays the drums.  All of them.  Or perhaps most.  I dunno how many drums he plays.  Gotta read the book to find out!  I don't know!  What an Idiot.  Me.  Not him.  Yeah. 
    Last paragraph!  Let's see.  I'm really blessed my guitar started working out of nowhere.  At first it just didn't work.  None of the strings produced notes.  Just twangs.  For months.  And then it just started working normally!  Wow!  Thanks!  That makes a big difference in my life!  Dunno who to address my gratitude to exactly but I'm putting it out there for whoever feels like taking credit!  Great.  Feels like I'm gonna work on a music project soon.  Maybe not this second.  But at some point.  I'm building up to it!  Amazing.  I think people will like it!  They'd listen to it, and think, Ya know what?  This is better than nothing.  I listen to this and I feel like ... I dunno yet... but it's definitely better than nothing.   That's all I got so far.    Gotta start somewhere!  Wonderful.  I'm interested to see where this week takes me Crazysheetwise!  I predict it gets better.  Tomorrow could be funnier and/or more entertaining than today!  Sweet!  I'll see ya then!

If You Wanna Know What I Think

    Hello friends!  Last entry of the week!  I'm 2 hours away from being FREE!  Had delicious Subway Sandwich for lunch.  There's two kinds of people who eat Subway Sandwiches.  Pedophiles and Happy Gilmore.  Those are two examples of people that I know of who have Endorsed Subway!  I say I'm more like Happy Gilmore.  I think I can safely say I'm not a pedophile. There's no proof one way or another that I'm good at golf As I've never tried Straight Up Golf.  Well by that logic I've also never tried Straight Up Pedophilia.  But I think I may or may not enjoy playing golf but I definitely wouldn't enjoy doing pedophilia.  I might be Good Or Bad At Either One, though, We Don't Know!  Hmm.  I ate a chicken sandwich, though.  Let's get to the point!  Sweet Onion Teriyaki Sauce!  Vegetables!  Potato chips off to the side!  In a couple of years the season of The Sopranos I'm watching will have been from THIRTY years ago!  Time flies!  And in several years more than that, guess what-- FIFTY years ago.  And wait a bit longer?  A COOL MILLENNIUM.
    How come Margarie Taylor Greene was never like, during the US House Turmoil when there was a new speaker every week and the far right were probably blaming it on moderate republicans, THIS IS LIKE WATCHING THE, "SOAP RINOS."  Soap Opera.  Of Rinos.  Republicans In name Only.  How come that didn't happen?  Why didn't that happen?  I'm gonna have to look into that one during my time off next week if I do indeed take a week off.  Because there's some DIRT there.  Someone should have said that!  Rhinos are pretty creepy animals to come across on Safari but they're probably not your first worry.  Rhinos look like dinosaurs though!  How come there's not more Rhino love!  Kids love dinosaurs.  Rhinos are a lot like dinosaurs, just LOOK at em.  Even got SAUR in their name.  It's spelled CER but it's pronounced the same!  What the Hell is keeping Rhinos down from dominating our Popular Imagination.  THE MAN.  I hate him so much!
    Well, okay.  Probably because Rhinos are from Africa.  They're African American!  If they were WHITE they'd be popular.  Pretty sure there's literally a species of Rhino called White Rhino.  Yeah!  It's the main species it turns out!  Hmm.  Is Rhino one of the animals where I drink their semen and I become super virile myself?  Couldn't hurt to try I guess!  Could be kinda disgusting, though.  That's a form of Hurt!  But in the end no harm no foul.  Anyway.  Have I ever worn deodorant.  That's kind of a tangent.  The answer is YES.  Probably for about a year of high school.  Maybe part of college?  I wore deodorant for 6-24 months!  What brand of deodorant?  I dunno!  But Animal Semen is what made me think of deodorant so maybe that's a clue for what I was covering myself with.  Maybe AXE body spray.  I say I like AXE body spray deodorant!  I know it's dumb and marketed to idiot 14 year old boys who know not what they're doing with themselves.  But maybe 14 year old boys is EXACTLY my target audience!  Wait. No.  Nope.  That's not accurate.  Well.  Actually.  I WAS the 14 Year Old Boy Myself Target Audience.  Me Myself.  Not Any Other One.  So it's vaguely accurate.
   Fourth paragraph.  I never bought Axe.  I dunno what I used.  RAID.  Sounds right.  It's called a De-Odor-Ant but it very clearly Produces Odor.  To an extreme extent!  That's what it does!  I get it.  It COVERS UP odor.  The premise is it gets rid of Unwanted odor.  But it doesn't bring Odor Back to Neutral or Zero.  It creates Brand New Odor!  I don't like it!  New World Odor.  Is that a thing.  Endor.  I'm upset they closed down the Star Wars Immersive Experience Hotel in Disney World.  I don't even like Star Wars and I think I would have enjoyed that!  Ah well.  Guess I'll have to pretend to be Star Wars elsewhere where people will not be prone to playing along.  Good.  Adds another element to it!  Something has gone haywire in Star Wars Universe that makes everyone believe they're in An Alternate Non-Star Wars Universe!  I've got to get to the bottom of this!  No I don't.  I can just live my life.  LIVE AND LET LIVE.
    Fifth paragraph!  I never saw the original trilogy more than half a dozen times and I never paid too close attention to it that much but I never was much impressed with Darth Vader.  This dude is just Middle Management.  The Emperor exists above him and he's the one calling the shots.  Who gives a shit about Darth Vader.  Also, dude is just a wrinkled withered shell of an elderly person once you take off his mask.  Not very intimidating physique, either!  ALSO, main protagonist is his son, so he's not exactly gonna kill him if he's gets the chance anyway.  I am NOT intimated by Darth Vader!  Also, not sure if I interpreted his Voice Box as a weakness or not.  I may have!  It could have been seen as Oh Cool Voice I Dig That.  OR it could have been Dude Can't Even Talk Right, Has To Have Voice Box help him speak, Psshh.  At this point I Don't Remember. 
    Halfway through the entry!  Let's see.  Whattado next week!  Probably should take the week off.  But if I keep writing the website then that's good in other ways!  Dangit.  They don't have Ruffles in stock for Super Market delivery order so I may get Joe Biden Kettle Chips To Remember for the first time in years.  I used to call Kettle Chips, "Joe Biden Kettle Chips To Remember" or something here, right?  This was a long time ago.  Man.  What the Hell was I used to be talking about.  And how the Hell could it have been readable.  Hmm.  I've come a long way!  We all have!  For example we've Built Back Better since then, back before the last Presidential Election.  More or less!  Most people seem to be unaware or not care.  I don't care because most people are unaware so Caring Is Futile.  Most people are unaware because the Informative Class is Uncaring so Awareness Is Futile.  I SEE. 
    Seventh paragraph!  There's an Informative Class?  That doesn't sound like a thing!  There's People Who Inform people, sure.  Not sure if they qualify as A CLASS.  They're SOMETHIN I guess.  Did Biden coin Build Back Better because of his Stutter.  BBB.  Buh-buh-buh.  And that's how he talks By Default?  Sure.  Not sure if that's Stutter Talk.  "B."  Stutter might involve different consonants or vowels other than, "B!"  ALSO I may have made that joke before.  Ah well!  Worth making it again.  It's a legitimate Joke!  Don't come across those too often!  Anyway.  Toilet overflowed a bit since last entry!  This morning bathroom floor was WET.  But flushing it today wasn't so bad.  It fills up to the brim when I flush it today which is bad but it wouldn't overflow anymore.  So there's positives and negatives to this story as there is to much of life!  Whatever.  It's possible my Brother is coming over this Sunday.  With camera?  To shoot me for documentary project?  Not sure I'm prepared for that!  But then can anyone ever really prepare for documentary project ever really?  Probably!   
    Three paragraphs to go!  I'm not prepared for anything!  What else is up.  If I don't write more entries next week, that means this entry stays at the top indefinitely!  That's not good for anyone!  Especially me!  But you also suffer.  Somehow.  I guess.  Maybe your life isn't that affected!  Not sure on a scale from 1-10 how much your life is impacted by my website!  Could be FOUR, could be EIGHT.  Hey there's a new The Decemberists album coming out tomorrow.  They're solidly One Of The Bands I Subscribe To.  I consider myself a member of their Informal Fanclub!  Not every band in the world that's Great and also Chill.  More often then not The Dec's as they're called are Acoustic Guitar Mostly!  Nice Good Old Fashioned Easy Listening Music!  Not Easy Listening: The Genre.  I mean Easy Listening: It's Just Not Too Intense Ya Know.
   Penultimate paragraph!  Do you know what's even easier to listen to?  NOTHING.  That's hard to listen to.  Then the voices in my head start to make some noise.  I don't like it!  Good.  Sometimes you gotta go through adversity if you wanna come out the other end a better person.  Huh.  If I take the week off next week I better at least write a couple songs.  If I write No Entries AND No Songs that's Me Failing.  Gotta produce!  Stand Up Class begins soon Then Though!  Whose a good Role Model Comedian exactly.  Off the top of my head I'm mostly picturing Canadians.  I've read some Comedian Bios and invariably the best people are the ones from Candada.  THEY'RE the ones I'm looking up to!  Not just In Cartography but In Life.  Well what good does Looking Up To Them do.  I'm still NOT FROM THERE.  Idle Aspiration can only take you so far!  I'm still stuck here in my real actual life situations!  GOD DANGIT.
   Last paragraph.  Hmm.  Let's see.  I dunno!  Is cartography the Study of Maps or just the Creation of Maps.  Hard to say exactly!  No real way of knowing.  How's the comedy scene in Toronto these days.  Or a Secondary Canadian city.  Maybe I'd be happy in Toronto!  I dunno!  I'd probably be halfway happy anywhere as long as I can take my website and my guitar with me!  So not North Korea then.  Maybe they'd let me take my Guitar if I promised to write Pro Kim Jong Un Ballads.  I don't think North Koreans Know What Music Is.  They keep things like that away from your average North Korean.  They don't know what a song is!  It's possible.  Ya know what?  Gonna cancel the Kettle Chips.  Gonna substitute Doritos.  That's my feelings.  Neither are my top choice!  Top choice is not in stock!  Anyway.  I guess that's it for today.  NO I'm not happy with it overall either.  I'll see you later.

Look At The Entry

    What's up, friends!  Time to write a decent ten paragraphs!  Possible I might make you laugh roughly twice!  I dunno about a Laugh Out Loud.  Maybe a Laughing On The Inside.  That's something that I think I can aim for!  Anyway, I bought a ticket for Inside Out II on Saturday Night.  It's a Three Dimensional movie!  They're gonna be In My Face with things!  I've been using a lot of exclamation marks so far in this young entry.  I guess I wanna get people's attention and that's one way to go about it!  If you lack Quality Relevant Content, you could always Just Yell At People!  That'll make 'em think what's being said is important!  Not sure whether I'll take next week off from the website.  It'd be nice to have a Nice Weeklong Refresh before Stand Up Class starts.  But it'd also be nice to keep writing!  I'll keep yuo updated on this situation as it progresses.  Unless I'm not writing.  Then the absence of me is me updating that I'm not writing.
    THE SOPRANOS is going on on my television set.  Not This Second but These Days in general!  Already ready to begin episode six!  The Return Of The Sopranos!  Is Tony Soprano Upper Upper Upper Middle Class?  By most measures he's straight up Rich People Tax Bracket but he exhibits SOME Middle Class characteristics.  Like what.  He lives in a HOUSE.  Not a MANSION.  You've played MASH.  House is in the MIDDLE.  MASH is a misleading game because I WISH I could just live in a Shack and Have That Be That.  That'd be A DREAM.  What?  Worst case scenario is I Just Live In A Shack?  SIGN ME UP.  The Real worst case scenario is I'm dependant on others my entire life and live with THEM or even worse live in a hospital or something.  I'd LOVE to live in a SHACK married to my seventh grade Joke Booby Prize Of A Wife.  What if Shaquille O Neal played MASH.  What?  Live in myself?  Well, I guess I already do do that!  Why not!  I'll be here through Thursday folks.
    Good, now I know I can leave and when it's safe to come back.  Anyway.  The headlines for news articles about Kevin Spacey lately have been overly sympathetic to him in my opinion!  Poor Kevin Spacey coming back to the public, Hat In Hand!  This framing is at odds with the penultimate thing I saw about Kevin Spacey, the documentary on TheMax!  Hmm.  My instinct is As Always to trust What The Penultimate Thing Told Me To Feel.  Shouldn't I trust the thing BEFORE the Penultimate Thing even more?  I dunno.  Can't think that far back.  I'm gonna be skeptical of The Latest Thing I See and Trust Completely The Penultimate Thing.  That's how I operate!  Anyway.  Has any pointed out that Kevin Spacey should have given his victims some SPACE.  Y?  Probably his victims tried to but he wasn't hearing it!  Is his middle name Vading.  Kevin Vading Spacey.  That's what he does!  Not sure I'm happy with that.  That's not a real name.  Maybe if it was Vader.  Like Darth Vader.  Kevin Vader Spacey?  I dunno.  I think I need that week off maybe.  Maybe we ALL need that week off.
    Fourth paragraph.  I remember seeing American Beauty in the theaters and for some reason the premise was like This Is The Best Movie Ever.  I dunno if I saw some movie critic just before and/or after, but I was operating under the cultural premise that This Movie Is Supposed To Be The Best Movie Of The Year and Just The Epitome Of Greatness.  It's FINE.  It's an okay movie.  It's Oscarbait, sure.  But I DIDN'T NEED TO BUY INTO IT HOOK LINE AND SINKER.  I was only TEN.  I was so impressionable!  Great.  I liked the movie.  You got cheerlady covered in roses.  Yo got the plastic bag in the breeze.  You got Thora Birch's boobs.  What more do you want from an Academy Award bound film?  And Then did I buy in fully Half As Much to K-PAX?  To PAY IT FORWARD?  YOU'RE GOD DMAN RIGHT I DID.  I thought those were going to be Actually Good Films, too!  Maybe they were.  I'm still Paying It Forward to this day!  I try to be a good guy and I credit That Film.  Plus I always do good deeds in THREES and whatknot.  K-Pax, too!  I don't think I'M from another planet but I BELIEVE THAT K-PAX BELIEVES.  Whatever.
    Fifth paragraph!  Let's see.  That was long ago, though.  Before we knew who Kevin Spacey really was.  Keyser Soze.  No that's was just a character he played.  Unrepentant Sexual Predator Asshole.  Oh ok yep that's him.  Anyway.  He could Repent a bit!  I SAY HE REPENTS A LITTLE BIT SLIGHTLY.  Look at him go!  Anyway.  OH NO bathroom toilet might be overflowing.  Just flushed it and then fifteen seconds later heard some fuckin' SPLASHING coming out of my bathroom.  Seems like the water is right at Surface Level in the toilet!  And it might have overflowed a bit!  Ugh.  All I need!  More problems!  Why me!  Couldn't they have given this to one of those people with No Problems!  Well then they'd have their No Problem Streak ruined.  I guess I don't wanna mess with people's streaking.  Hmm.  Anyway maybe if I pretend this problem doesn't exist This One Time it will go away.  I LIKE THOSE ODDS.  One time problems OFT don't repeat!  Let's cross them fingers!
    Okay.  Halfway through the entry!  Great.  The ONE TIME I flush the toilet and this is what I get.  Hmm.  Wonder if there'll be any sexy ladies in my Stand Up Comedy Class.  Any ladies at all!  The teacher is a lady.  But that's something else.  Teacher is a different class of person than student!  Maybe one day I will be a teacher and it could work!  Or maybe one day she will be a student in something.  Either way though gotta be some ladies in the class!  Let's go out of our way to sexualize them and make them uncomfortable.  OR the other thing.  Ya know.  NOT do that.  Ah.  Sounds good.  AT some point I assumed Plurality.  I assume to take less responsibility for my Presumptive Actions.  Either way I'm gonna do whatever I can to make sure everyone feels safe and free to be open in comedy class!  I don't know HOW.  Maybe I project that sort of image of myself, I guess!  That sounds difficult.  Couldn't hurt to give it a shot, though!  Sure it can.  Still might give it a shot anyway, though!
    Seventh paragraph!  Amazing.  Let's see.  HOW do actors know who they're supposed to be!  People in Sopranos Season I act like they're on track with Who They Are in Season VI.  The characters weren't fully written yet in season one!  Were their later character arcs written to accommodate the way the actors played them OR did the actors play them intuitively the way they were going to be?  I don't get the way entertainment works!  Nor do I get how to articulate my thoughts!  Cause I'm being confusing Right Now!  Hmm.  The point is I Don't Know How TV Works!  Acting.  Writing.  NONE OF IT.  Explain it to me like I'm dumb.  But make it CONCISE I've got places to be.  TV doesn't Just Work One Way.  There's a thousand ways to skin a cat!  Hmm.  I bet I could come up with dozens of new ways to skin a cat.  People would take note of me then!  Only a thousand on the books As Of Now!  Finally I can start to make a name for myself!  Well okay what's one New Way To Skin A Cat.  Get it to skin itself somehow.  Use psychology!  To Make It Skin Itself.  Ohkay.  That sounds like it'd be in the top 1,000.
    Eighth paragraph.  Cats can't skin themselves.  You need opposable thumbs for that sort of thing!  SORRY.  Fair enough.  I'm not sure I wanna propagate Skinning Cats. Sure I CAN come up with ways to do it but is that something I want to involve myself in?  Hmm.  Interesting ethical dilemma I got myself into.  The answer is Yes I'll deal with Skinning Cats if it means I get a job.  Sorry Cat!  THE ECONOMY!  Huh.  I wanna live in a Shack one day!  I need SOME sort of job!  Hmm.   Tell me more about this Shack.  Just how separated from society am I.  Do I got a bathroom or is there maybe an outhouse situation.  IS there a paved road leading up to the domicile or no.  Is it like a Studio Shack?  It doesn't matter what your answers are to any of the questions because There Are No Wrong Answers.  I've finally got a place to call my own and I couldn't be happier for myself!  This isn't real life.  This is just a paragraph on my website.  Oh.  That's too bad.  Kinda sucks.  I was happy for thirty seconds imagining My Shack.
   Ninth paragraph.  Whatever!  If I take a week off from Website I can presumably work on some Music.  Go out of my way to actually make a couple Songs.  I could do that if I felt like it!  Picture myself doing some power chords and melodies on top of it!  And singing lyrics on top of that!  Maybe doing Bass Notes below it!  There ya go!  2-3 Songs in a week!  Nothing exactly preventing me from doing that.  Inspiration.  Motivation.  Time.  Dedication.  Energy.  More things.  There's lots of things stopping me from doing that!  But there's half a dozen things encouraging me to do it too so whatever.  Dousn't sound like the most ground breaking music I ever heard.  So what.  I'm not trying to Break The Mold.  What's wrong with the mold.  I like the mold!  It's a good mold!  Maybe I'll break the mold by doing the mold SO GOOD.  By virtue of knocking the mold out of the park it will be unique.  Makes sense.
   What am I talking about I am a mediocre musician.  I ain't gonna knock shit out of nothin.  HEY even mediocre people hit homeruns!  You don't know!  So that's good.  Only one more entry for this week!  Then I got AT LEAST a Three Day Weekend if not a Full Week Off.  Shit's gonna be Off The Hook!  I've never seen the film Hook.  Not a fan of Robin Williams or Stephen Spielberg!  Just don't enjoy their work!  Maybe it's for the best that I'll never get the opportunity to meet Robin Williams.  Because for a chunk of my life I probably didn't respect him as much as I shuold have.  FOR A WHLIE I was Too Cool For School For Robin Williams.  He was LAME.  It was HIP to not like him.  NOW I don't have to own up to that until I meet him in the afterlife.  Whatever Dreams May Come And Whatknot.  That's another movie that at first they were like This Is Going To Be One Of The Best Movies Of All Time!  And then they were like NOPE we were WAY OFF.  Sorry!  Anyway.  That'll do it for today!  I'll see ya tomorrow.

I See Things Differently

    Hey!  What's going on!  Time for some Mid!  It's slang that means adequate or mediocre!  That's what my prediction is for what this entry will be.  HMM.  Started watching The Sopranos.  I ain't sayin' nothin' further about that!  We don't TALK about it.  That's how you deal with the subject of the mafia.  What planet are YOU from.  Pretty sure this is just a Television Program.  TV PROGRAM OR NOT, IT'S STILL REAL LIFE.  Close enough at least.  It's flickers on a screen!  It means a lot to me!  I'm trying to come up with some sort of fresh comment on the show.  Everyone is 15% More Normal in the pilot episode than in the series.  Just less Pronounced or something.  Less Stylized.  Maybe more stylized.  The point is everyone is 15% Different Somehow But All In The Sameway in Episode One.  That's The Point I'm Trying To Say!  Hey I said the point.  Now I'm done.  Guess it's time to move on with my life.
    Altos and Tenors must feel like they're missing out.  No Gangster Shows named after them.  Baritones are disconnected from society altogether!  I was classified as a Baritone in 8th Grade Chorus as my voice was changing.  I don't sing that way anymore, though.  You can sing from pretty much any part of your body you want to.  Chest.  Foot.  Spleen.  Dealer's choice!  And that changes the way your voice sounds!  I don't think I'm the same kinda Baritone I was in 8th Grade when I sing songs in my Adulthood.  Maybe I am.  Mrs. O Donnell my middle school Chorus teacher never came to any open mics to tell me!  But if I ever had to sing any songs from Les Miserables I'd probably default to baritone again.  So I got that going for me.    Baritone-y Soprano.  Makes sense.  Baritone is a DEEP voice.  I normally affect a Trebly voice!  Can you do a Baritone Voice that sounds trebly Affectationwise?  I dunno!
    Hmm.  In fact maybe I was Affecting the BARITONE from the start!  My voice was changing yes and I wanted to lean into As Deep As Possible because I was short and I thought if I had a deep voice people would respect me more.  Each deepness of dB adds an inch of height!  I don't think dB measures Deepness but you get the idea!  The Kid was being stupid.  Thought singing deep would make people Believe In Him More.  Dummy!  I dunno I think that was my real voice.  I had to sing complete songs!  And I was singing the proper way I was taught to sing!  PLUS I got me some SOLOS, so I musta been doing it right!  Basically the point is SURE I believe I heard some people laugh when I did one of my solos during the musical presentation in my deep voice.  They were laughing because they respected me so much!  Hmm.  That should have been a traumatic moment for me.  Instead I kind of remember Doing Well.  Sounds like it went POORLY if people laughed at me.  In my mind it was a success!  The moral of the story is I process things weirdly.
   As far as I know the rest of the crowd appreciated my solos!  I probably did do fine!  If I remember doing well that's probably because I did okay overall!  Anyway.  Fourth paragraph!  I feel like people probably laughed at me a lot in those type of scenarios but that was the extent of any sort of bullying.  If I was on stage in K-8, PEOPLE I DIDN'T KNOW WERE GONNA LAUGH AT ME.  But I would never interact with them at all up close and in person.  They'd just laugh at me when the spotlight was on me!  Good.  That's exactly when I want their laughter!  In a weird way this is working out kinda perfect for me!  Hmm.   I'm not getting the right kind of laughter at the right kind of time.  I dunno.  I don't mind the wrong kind of laughter on stage!  I'M WINNING.  I entertain the crowd.  You Lose!  You were amused by me!  Sounds like idiocy but at the same time kinda feels true.  So that's good I guess!
   Fifth paragraph!  Just takes the edge off!  Maybe that's it!  In K-8 I don't remember doing any Funny Comedy Act where I want laughs specifically.  SO it's not like I'm Getting Laughs So I've Already Gotten What I Want EXACTLY.  BUT if I get laughs at my expense it's like Alright well they're relaxed so now I'm relaxed let's just get This SCHOOL PLAY or CHORUS PERFORMANCE or WHATEVER over with now.  I guess.  Sounds about right!  What's a third thing I could be doing.  How about the time I ran for Class President.  Hmm.  That was seventh or eighth grade!  I did not win but I DID make it onto the ballot.  Eleven people ran but only a select four made it to the ballot!  The rest did not fill out all the paperwork.  Anyway, I did not win or come in runner up!  I'm not sure why I ran!  Probably because I was on Prozac!  I was a Fucked Up Depressioncase for a while, and then I went into therapy and on Prozac and went TOO FAR in the other direction.  Felt like running for Class President or something!  Not sure why.  Dumb kid. I didn't even know 90% of the people in my Grade!  HOW CAN I REPRESENT WHO I DO NOT KNOW.
   Halfway through the entry!  Anyway.  Had Chipotle for lunch today!  Pretty good stuff.  Chipotle is one example of The World Getting Better over the course of the last two decades.  Let's recognize achievements where we can!  Used to not have Chipotle!  Now there is Chipotle!  Yeah but IS Chipotle worse than it used to be?  Is it trending downward?  I dunno!  Probably.  Gotta be balance to the universe.  If there's a Good Thing It Also Has To Be Worse Somewhat Too.  That's KARMA for ya.  What if there's a Shitty Thing.  Can it be Good Somehow?  I dunno.  You're gonna have to be more specific.  What's a good example of a Shitty Thing.  Off the top of my head The Supreme Court.  What's a way that's Good Somehow.  Biden installed a good lady to the Supreme Court.  Sure.  Good enough I guess!  IT'LL HAVE TO BE.  There's CORRUPT religious and far right fanatics who are also in the tank politically for Donald Trump on the court though too.  And also Those People Who Don't Belong On The Court MIGHT FORM AN ENTIRE MAJORITY.  Oh that sounds bad.
    Seventh paragraph.  Four paragraphs to go.  Sometimes it feels like we're helpless!  Maybe it's because we are.  Not 100% sure on that one.  I have Chipotle again for tomorrow, though.  I have to get two meals to justify my order!  Anyway what else is up.  Tried watching Breaking Bad last night.  I've only gone through that show Once.  I liked it then!  But I wasn't able to make it through five minutes yesterday.  Not sure why!  Probably says something about Either Me or The Show.  Maybe about The World At Large.  Or perhaps about JUNE 2024.  Hmm.  I guess I gotta write 3.5 more paragraphs.  I'd like to go to a Supreme FOOD Court.  In a MALL.  Some sort of Regional Chinese Fast Food Operation.  I don't see any problem with THAT.  Just googled Food Court to make sure it's a thing.  Four dead in Atlanta Food Court Shooting just now Mayor Says.  THIS IS THE AMERICA WE LIVE IN?  Not if I have anything to say about it!
    The sad thing is I don't have anything to say about it!  I can repeat the facts to you but beyond that I'm drawing a blank!  NO MORE GUNS.  GO TO FOOD COURTS IN BUDDY SYSTEMS.  TRUST ATLANTA-ISH MAYORS.  What else.  I like food court because it's a Melting Pot of cultures and ideas.  You could have food from one place and your friend can have food from another place!  It's TRUE diversity and inclusion and equality!  Am I gonna be upset that you're enjoying Your Source For Your Meal more than I'm enjoying mine?  Maybe a little bit!  Now I know for next time, though!  I didn't Know Not To Get From Where I Got From, but now I do!  If We Outlaw Guns, only outlaws will have guns.  A lot of talk about OUTlawing guns, but what about IN-LAWS, cause I CAN'T STAND MINE, AM I RIGHT???  Gonna put that in the Maybe pile for Stand Up Jokes.  Too bad it's Not WithIN The LAW to Murder because THESE PEOPLE ARE DRIVING ME CRAZY. 
     Penultimate paragraph.  I don't like it!  Billy The Kid was an outlaw.  Kid means baby goat.  Billy means Male Goat.  This guy was really doubling down on the Goat Names.  Also one might argue he was The GOAT outlaw.  I dunno what he did exactly.  Probably got into Duels.  Per my understanding based on The Cinema there was a period of time in history called The Wild West and the epitome of what people did was Duel.  Seems kind of counterintuitive looking back on it.  A lot of the time you die!  But people seemed to enjoy themselves.  Dueling was probably was like a tenth as common as movies make it seem.  That'd be my guess as a Former History Teacher Student.  I'm not utilizing my Studies for that.  Just my Off The Top Of My Headness!  Could be A HUNDREDTH as common as movies make it seem.  How often would YOU be like out of nowhere YA KNOW WHAT LET'S FIGHT TO THE DEATH.  I don't care HOW The Old West your setting is!  People then were just the same as people now!  No they weren't People Be Different.  Cause people did do that.  I guess.
   Last paragraph.  I just googled it, and dueling in the Old West NEVER happened.  I was right ONCE AGAIN.  Thirty for Michael, Twenty Seven for Everyone Else!  For people keeping score at home.  What the Hell.  How is everyone else keeping pace with me.  Not sure how Everyone Else is even submitting Answers at all.  I don't like it!  Ah well, that's life for ya.  If I dueled in The New West TODAY that'd be equal to 50% the amount of Dueling there was in The Old West of Yesteryear.  I could make history by dueling!  Anyone wanna duel with me?  It takes two!  Hmm.  Not sure I believe in fire arms.  I don't wanna do that now that I think about it!  Whatever.  Is it Not A Duel Unless Someone Dies?  Probably doesn't count if we're doing Super Soakers or whatever.  I remember when battling with water guns with friends, ya always feel DEJECTED when you have the worse water gun.  THERE'S NO WAY I WIN THIS FIGHT.  NO QUESTION THAT I'M GOING TO LOSE THE BATTLE.  It makes no sense.  You're still just going to get each other wet.  But having the cheaper, less powerful water gun is pretty demoralizing right from the start and all throughout the whole activity!  Anyway.  I'll see ya tomorrow.

Why Would Anyone Read This?

    Hey, friends!  Weekend happened!  Do most people have a conscious week/weekend separation?  DOES the weekend hit different than the weekdays?  I dunno!  I'm trying to Make It So for myself!  It's fun!  Went to see Bad Boys on Saturday Night.  The low point was while I was getting up from my seat on the bus on the way to the theater I tripped and lost my balance and fell right on a lady who was sitting down in her seat.  I went OVERBOARD with the apologies.  Instead of just being like Oh My Bad,  I was like OH MY GOD I am so sorry I didn't mean to do that really I'm so sorry I didn't mean it really unintentional I didn't mean to please forgive me.  If anything apologizing so profusely might make her think I tripped into her ON PURPOSE.  Maybe THAT'S HOW I GET OFF and whatknot.  Falling onto people on the bus!  Either way that IS one way to go about things because I suffered no consequences so if you wanna touch on people that's one avenue available to you! 
   THERE ARE NO MISTAKES.  I didn't just Lose My Balance.  Part of me WANTED to do that.  My Inner Equilibrium MUST HAVE known what it was doing.  Right?  I've ridden the bus before.  I know how to manage the ins and outs of what to do as the bus makes its movements and I make mine inside which.  I dunno.  Also this was just some Middle Aged lady.  Not some sort of Sexy Sex Object that I wanted to take advantage of.  EITEHR WAY it happened but at least I was able to get off the bus IMMEDIATELY.  Cause it was My Stop!  Hmm.  The movie was pretty good!  I think it hit all its marks and I was able to enjoy it as it went along!  There weren't too many Black Culture things that the rest of the audience laughed at that I didn't get!  For the most part I was able to be like Oh, I Get It Too! Even though maybe I only half got it.  Still, half getting it is good news for me!  Hmm.  Looks like this weekend I'll be seeing Inside Out II!  I think I enjoyed the first one.  If by the first one we're talking about the song Inside Out by Eve 6.  That's what this movie is a sequel to, right?  THAT SONG?
    Sure, why not.  By the time you get to Eve 6, Adam is starting to really run low on Ribs.  His Rib Cage is running ragged!  Whatever.  Halfway through the last episode of The Wire.  The time is coming soon to make a decision!  What to watch next.  HMM.  I'll figure that out at some point.  Would people be okay with me watching The Sopranos.  I dunno if society would accept me watching The Sopranos at this point!  I think America and/or The Rest Of The World might want me to wait a couple more months until I watch The Sopranos!  Hey I got some new marijuana this past weekend!  There were 15 or 20 strains to choose from and it was a tough choice!  I had the name of the strain to decide with.  There were a few different brand names I could choose from.  I could choose from What The Packaging Looked Like.  I could also see what the flower itself looked like.  After lots of contemplation I went with the strain called Dynamite Cookies.  I think we can safely wager it was not the Optimal Choice.  But it may turn out to be a good choice!  May turn out to be a shitty choice!  Let's see what happen!
   Well I've smoked it a few times.  What's my feeling based on that?  Been good.  Kinda average!  Hasn't blown me away but ya know what?  Been decent!  I don't like the packaging.  It's in a bag.  I like weed in a canister.  Hmm.  Such is life I guess.  I'm not ABOUT Cookies.  Dynamite Cookies.  That's not WHO I AM.  Good.  Should mix it up anyway!  Didn't do practically any Bikini Kill Person reading this weekend.  I can't remember in terms of pages how much I read.  What about in terms of Content.  Hmm.  They were on European Tour or something.  Is that possible.  So what so was National Lampoon European Vacation and you don't see Them Bragging About It.  Whatever.  I don't think I ever seen that movie!  Never heard it.  Never Nothing!  What's my favorite Cheverald Chase movie.  That he STARRED in.  Hmm.  Either I Don't Have One or Vegas Vacation.  What Happens in Vegas Vacation Stays in Vegas Vacation.  I like how the official campaign slogan of Las Vegas is Come Do Things You Will Ultimately Regret.  Hmm.  Some city gotta corner the market on that sorta behavior!  Why not them.  I don't know what that means.
    Fifth paragraph!  I like the structure to the Dynamic Cookies marijuana.  Holds together nicely while I break it apart to put smaller pieces into the pipe!  Huh.  My half birthday is coming up.  Not sure why surprise party hasn't been put into motion yet.  Wouldn't I Not know it if it has.  I'd know!  I think.  The Mets played a few games in London recently and I'm not happy about it.  If they're thinking of leaving they could have just SAID something.  They didn't need to go ahead and PLAY THERE out of nowhere!  Let's have a DISCUSSION about this first.  They're not going anywhere they're staying in Queens It Was Just For Fun.  Ah okay that's good.  Cause London is dumb.  They don't even like Baseball in London.  They like RAINING and GOING TO THE LOO.  Hmm.  I think I'd like London.  I think I'll move to London when this is over!  What's the worst that could happen.  I'd be separated from all my friends and family. 
     Halfway through the entry!  Anyway.  Bad Boys IV was a good movie because I took a bunch of bathroom breaks but I never felt like I missed anything.  For some reason it's just that sort of film where I could miss 75 seconds and be like YEP RIGHT BACK IN TE ACTION DIDN'T MISS A TING.  Maybe because it's so predictable that my subconscious filled in the blanks while I was gone.  Maybe because I Just Didn't Care about the plot!  Maybe because I happened to pick opportune times to go to the loo.  I dunno!  Either way I think I'd like to start a petition for all Movie Theater Seats to have TWO cup holders.  Personally I'd use it because I get Cup Of Soda and Beer.  But other people get POPCORNS right.  Put your popcorn in your second seat cupholder, right?  WHY NOT.  Shouldn't have to hold onto your popcorn in your lap like some sort of asshole.  That ain't you!  Anyway if this petition takes off I could really see my life turn around for the better.  See some SUCCESS.  Finally things looking GOOD IN MY DIRECTION. 
   Seventh paragraph.  Wonderful!  Got 15 minute psychiatrist appointment tomorrow morning.  That's great.  Makin' sure I get up on time!  Maybe I'll figure something out about my life, too!  Might be a minute or two of productive therapy in the appointment, I dunno!  Anyway, I was watching some Beetlejuice last night.  As a kid I didn't realize Beetlejuice is Not A Good Person.  But I think that's normal.  They even made a kids Cartoon where Beetlejuice is the hero.  So I wasn't alone in thinking Beetlejuice was Protagonist.  How can you not realize Beetljuice is bad.  I dnuno.  Just NOT REGISTER what the dialogue and plot is!  Just sorta GLOSS OVER what's actually happening completely.  He looks and talks Kinda Silly so he must be an Okay Person!  Hmm.  Don't worry though.  I've figured out what actually happens in this movie In My Adulthood and I'm onto Beetlejuice!  NOT TO BE TRUSTED.  For now.  Then again maybe he shows us something different in upcoming film.  Let's give Beetlejuice a second chance before we cancel Beetlejuice!
   Eighth paragraph!  Whatever!  My one line review of Beetlejuice is "Alec Baldwin Has Never Looked More Different!"  That sums up my most deeply held feelings about the film!  What.  Because he wears glasses?  Yep!  That sums that up.  Anyway.  Not happy with today's entry.  I could have written a good entry instead of this crap!  We could have all gone back to The Good Entry Whenever We Wanted And Enjoyed Reading It!  INSTEAD we have THIS.  Ah well.  Life works in mysterious ways.  Starting to get into the groove of washing my hands after I use the bathroom.  #1 I mean!  At least in public.  YES I am bragging this.  I still say it's unnecessary but if this is what society asks of me then I'm willing to meet society halfway!  What else is up.  Usually just gonna dry my hands on my pants, though!  I'm just wetting them lightly!  I don't need to airblow them or wipe them intensively with paper towel!  I can just rub my hands together to get rid of the moisture!  Worst case scenario I can just rub em off on my pants!  That'll do the trick!
   Penultimate paragraph!  Ugh.  I like Tim Burton!  I consider Big Fish to be one of my favorite movies for reasons that Now That I Think About It I'm Not 100% Sure Of.  The statement still stands!  It's in the Top 10!  But I don't know WHY as of this moment.  Could be several things!  Or Maybe All Of The Several Things Combined Into One How About That.  That makes sense.  I LIKE IT because I got it for a penny as part of the Columbia House Record Deal.  Except it was DVDs and not Records.  Sure.  That's one aspect of sentimentality I guess!  I got TWELVE DVDs for a penny or whatever.  And then dozens more for only a couple of dollars each as part of the same deal.  I benefited greatly from That Deal!  IT WAS GREAT.  NO WONDER I LIKE BIG FISH.  Whatever.  I can watch the HBO Show CARNIVALE next.  I never seen that.  Doesn't get the same praise that other HBO shows have gotten!  Not sure I wanna invest myself in something that I don't know what it is!  Alright one more paragraph to write and then we're good.
    Great.  Let's see.  I think they made the right moves with how they spell Beetlejuice.  Spelled it aptly in the title of the film (Beetlejuice) and they spelled it rightly within the film (Betelegeuse).  One is best for Within The Plot but the other is best for Selling It To The American People.  I'm happy they figured it out the right permutation!  What about for selling it Globally.  Maybe people in Myanmar wanna see if spelled BeatleJews.  I dunno.  Where even is Myanmar!  I don't know what that is!  Oh. Burma.  That's what that is.  Gotcha!  Anyway, I don't see tomorrow's entry being worse than today's!  So, by that logic, we got something to look forward to!  Not sure that checks out completely.  Could still be nominally better but still shitty.  Hmm.  Maybe I get some sort of Filet Of Fish Sandwich for dinner.  Not straight up MacDonalds Filet Of Fish.  Some sort of Diner Filet of Sole sandwich.  You know how that goes.  Anyway.  I'll see ya tomorrow!

One Day We'll Look Back At This And Laugh

    Anyway, hey!  Time to write ten more paragraphs.  Had a meatball sandwich for lunch.  My dinner will be either fried calamari or omelet with turkey bacon and onion rings.  You can extrapolate anything you want from that!  MEANING.  HUMOR.  What does it mean.  What's funny about it.  I dunno.  Life gotta mean things!  Life gotta be funny!  Ain't on me to figure out Why or How!  On the audience which in this case is You.  I bought the ticket for Bad Boys Ride Or Die for Saturday night.  I hope there's scenes with them riding in cars early on in the movie.  Otherwise I'm gonna start getting concerned they'll die at some point.  I've been told they either Ride Or Die.  The sooner they ride, the less likely in my mind they're gonna die!  Anyway, there's ALWAYS scenes in these movies where the main characters are in cars.  Action Movies and Being In Cars go hand in hand!  But in the off chance they forget to have scenes where Will Smith and/or Martin Lawrence are in a car... and assuming neither of them have Surprise Deaths... that's Neither Ride Nor Die!  Sounds like we might have a Class Action Suit on our hands in that case!
    Huh.  Might be some thunderstorms later.  I can't walk in thunderstorms.  I'd get thunder all over me!  Will Smith is 55 and Martin Lawrence is 59.  I wonder how spry they are in this movie.  They're getting older!  And they've used up lots of energy already in their films and TV shows and comedy acts.  Only so much spark a person can use over the course of their life!  I don't think Will Smith has ever done stand up comedy.  I know he's attacked people who had been doing stand up comedy.  I guess that's a form of stand up comedy.  How so.  Good question!  Hey, the raining has begun outside!  The jokes on them-- I'M INSIDE.  Do I need to binge watch the TV Show COPS to understand what's going on in Bad Boys Ride Or Die.  Yes.  Oh.  I was hoping the answer was No.  On account of No I'm Not Going To Do That!  Anyway.  Bad Boys got its name from the theme song for the show Cops.  These days people might not know that!  So I have to explain it explicitly.  Like a jerk!  Ugh!
    Third paragraph.  Why is it called Cops when it's equally about Criminals.  The show just is home video footage of cops arresting people on highways and crap, right?  It's called COPS.  Ya know The Other People Are People Too right.  To you they're nothing?  For shame.  Well ya can't call it Criminals.  They haven't been convicted yet.  What else could you call them.  PEOPLE.  So it's a show about cops going around arresting folks and whatknot for a myriad of reasons.  And the show is called People.  Makes sense.  Hmm.  How many people have been arrested in US History have been animals.  I say 100-200 times have police arrested Dogs and Horses for various reasons.  Lemme LTURQ.  Not seeing anything right away.  Just gonna have to go with what my imagination says.  My imagination says 100-200?  Then that's what it is!  Imagination is in the drivers seat for now!  That's not a good thing.
   Fourth paragraph.  How about that!  You can't handcuff a horse.  They won't fit!  They design special cuffs for horses YOU IDIOT.  I'm not high on the prospect that horses have hands at all!  Hmm.  What kind of illegal activities can you do without hands.  Hands are what enable us to commit crimes in the first place!  Kicking.  VERY INAPPROPRIATE kicking.  I dunno, I can see a MULE do Criminal Kicking but that's not really a horse's style.  Voting more than once.  Horse?  Horse doesn't participate in the political process!  Also we're all allowed to vote more than once.  Just not at the same time.  I'd say we're ENCOURAGED to vote as much as possible ideally.  LIVE as much as possible, right, so VOTE as much as possible along the same lines!  When you see articles about someone whose 110 years old and they ask HOW DID YUO DO THAT it is possible the person always goes I Never Voted.  Don't participate in the Democratic Process.  Not me!  Not getting involved adds years to your life!  Or takes it away.  Could be the exact opposite.  What do I know.  Nothing.
   Fifth paragraph.  I don't think I've ever rode an animal.  Horse.  Donkey.  Nothin'!  Wait, no!  Probably done a Piggy Back with my parents when I was a wee one.  Musta done that. But non-human animals, none of that!  I've barely SEEN non-human animals.  I probably seen some horses but they've been few and far between!  Is it possible I ever got on top of a Big Dog.  Hmm.  Yeah.  I'd say there's a remote possibility for something like that.  Still probably not.  Whatever.  What are donkeys all about.  Sound kinda dirty.  Not sure why.  But I don't like it off the top of my head!  What the Hell am I supposed to make myself sane with Binge Watching when I'm done with The Wire.  First thought is re-watch The Sopranos or Oz.  BUT I think it's too soon for them!  Hasn't been long enough since last time I watched them!  I GUESS I can re-watch some sort of Comedy Show but I don't think that will drive me Sane Enough!
    Halfway through the entry.  Boy oh boy am I almost close to being done.  Hey, it stopped raining a while ago!  Don't worry, it'll start up again!  That's the rain for you.  On and off and on again!  I guarantee it!  Really shouldn't guarantee things I have no control over.  Hmm.  Sixth paragraph!  Let's see.  Wonder if they'll make any 4th Wall Disregardfull Reference to Will Smith Slapping Malfunction Incident in Bad Boys Ride Or Die.  Probably not!  At this point the move is probably just to let it be forgotten.  No reason to be like HEY REMEMBER WHEN THIS LOW MOMENT IN MY CAREERLIFE HAPPENED?  But it would make people LAUGH.  Because WE DO REMEMBER.  I like it when references happen because it activates the Remembering Part of my brain which I'm gonna guess is the Hippocampus.  Got about a 50% chance of being right.  Either it IS The Hippocampus or it isn't!  Pretty good shot of it being the Hippocampus.  IF HIPPOS WENT TO COLLEGE?  WHAT?  That's a low point in this website.
    Which says a lot!  Seventh paragraph!  Hippo needs to go to college to get a good job.  They got Hungry Hungry Hippos at home to feed!  Anyway.  Whoever came up with the title to that board game knocked it out of the park.  A rose by any other name wouldn't be as sweet.  Anyway.  I wonder what the moral to Hungry Hungry Hippos is, because they ARE NOT being satisfied.  No matter who wins and by how much, every hippo is just as hungry at the end of the game as they were at the beginning.  These Hippos appetites are NOT being satiated one bit!  Anyway.  3.5 paragarphs to go!  Good deal!  Anyway.  Got two super market deliveries tomorrow.  Got some Fresh Direct in the morning.  Got some Amazon Fresh in the evening!  Should be good.  Why do we need both of them?  Because that's LIFE.  My parents do things their way and I'm along for the ride!  I'm Ride Or Die with my parents.  I guess.  That phrase is A BIT too slang for me to understand what it means 100% but I think I'm Ride or Die with them!
     It means you're ALL IN with 'em.  You're ON BOARD with em.  POT COMMITTED to em.  You're either going to RIDE ALONG with them in cars or you will DIE WITH THEM in some sort of tragic catastrophe.  No middle ground!  Why can't there be middle ground.  Why can't you be in a committed relationship and just Not Die OR Be In A Car.  I Don't KNOW.  I don't get how this phrase works exactly!  Ride doesn't literally mean be in a car.  It means Participate in Life's Activities With?  WORK and/or SOCIAL activities?  I dunno!  Hmm.  Probably get a clearer picture of what it means when I see the movie!  Joe Pantoliano is in it so that should shed some light on the situation as well!  Whatever.  Huh.  Is there anyone in MY LIFE that I'm Ride or Die with?  Sure.  Immediate Family!  Mom Pop and Bro.  Anyone else?  Sure.  No.  No one else!  Not at the moment!  Anyway that's pretty good.  That's more people than some people got!  I've got Ride Or Die Riches one might say!
    Penultimate paragraph!  Almost done with the entry.  Then it'll be time to hopefully start to enjoy the weekend and crap.  I did my JOB for the week.  I WROTE CRAP.  Time to enjoy my just desserts.  Just Desserts has a negative connotation.  That's usually something that happens as a consequence for doing something bad.  Oh.  Well, either way, that's what I'm gonna get I guess!  Also a good name for a bakery.  That doesn't do bread or anything.  Just desserts.  Great.  Am I gonna be able to take a walk when this is over?  Looks like it!  Awesome.  IS Martin Lawrence the comic relief in Bad Boys and how does that make Will Smith feel.  He's a Comic Persona as well.  But Martin Lawrence is even MORE comical!  Probably makes Will Smith feel fine.  He's a Serious Persona too.  Yin and Yang to all of us!  Unless your last name is Yin or Yang.  Then you're really heavily weighted one way or the other.  Sorry! 
    Last paragraph.  Whatever.  They are BAD MEN.  These people are 55 and 59 years old!  Hmm.  Was this week any good.  Today was shit.  The rest of the week was okay though!  Speaking only to my experience.  I can't speak to your experience.  I wouldn't know where to start to speak to your experience.  Apparently You Read This.  That's part of your experience!  That's all I got though!  Hmm.  Two and a half weeks until Stand Up Class starts up for me.  My life presumably may be Slightly Different then!  THEN we'll see what's what.  You'll see!  What a world.  I don't pay for Web Statistics but there's a website I came across on the internet that says page hits for this website and IF IT'S ACCURATE a fair amount of people read this.  Pretty sure it's bullshit.  But if it's accurate more people read this than you'd think!  I've been assuming it's bullshit!  Who knows though.  Now that I mention it though It Doesn't Matter.  What matters is not the Popularity but THE QUALITY.  Which is POOR.  Anyway I'll see ya later.

Thanks For Stopping By

    Hello friends!  Gotta write Part II of the week.  First half was Monday Tuesday.  Now we're into Wednesday Thursday!  Good.  Gonna actually start my three day weekend tomorrow night.  Smoke trees early in the evening Thursday instead of waiting until right before bed.  Do WHATEVER I CAN to give myself something to look forward to As Soon As Possible.  The fun begins tomorrow night.  That's just 24 Hours And Change!  Why, I got a good time coming towards me in NO Time At All!  Anyway.  Occurred to me that at some point Kathleen Hanna will marry Beastie Boy Ad Rock in this book I'm reading.  Not sure how I feel about that.  Right now I have special connection to her as an individual!  Once she forms a Power Coupling with Ad Rock that throws everything out of whack.  It will be a Special New Dynamic sure but it'll be not the same!  Maybe it'll be better.  That doesn't sound right.  Things don't just GET BETTER. Things GET WORSE.  What universe have you been living in.  The Getting Better Universe.  Oh you mean like Sgt Pepper.  That's the universe where that song lives...
   What exactly am I imagining.  Ad Rock starts piggybacking on the narrative of the book?  YES.  Well if that happens I'm sure they had a very good reason for continuing the book that way.  Anyway.  Listening to Bikini Kill, kinda sounds like they're being tongue in cheek and sarcastic with their aggression and authoritiveness and whatknot.  But they're not!  They're being sincere.  And the sincerity does shine through the most.  But the voice and PERHAPS EVEN THE INSTRUMENTS kinda sounds like they're 10-15% JOKING ABOUT THE MUSIC?  Sometimes with her singing SHE'S PUTTING ON VOICES for example.  And that's just a Fore Xample!  Anyway.  Beastie Boys do the same thing but even moreso.  Good thing that they found each other then.  I TAKE THE MUSIC SERIOUSLY though.  And the message!  I'm just saying it's balanced with a dose of IRREVERENCE.  WHAT?  MUSIC not taking itself seriously?  Not on my watch!
   What does all along the watchtower mean.  Not sure what a Watchtower is 100% But I assume it's just Some Sort Of Tower.  So what would All Along A Singular Building Be.  Not so much perimeter to A SINGLE STRUCTURE.  What was Bob Dylan THINKING.  I'm gonna guess Bob Dylan writing lyrics is like me doing Improv Comedy.  He just said things and hoped they made sense.  He was pretty successful most of the time!  Plus the things he said made sense many times over!  They can make sense in one sense, and then you can hear the song again later and they make sense in a completely different context.  Good for Bob Dylan.  He's really got it all figured out, don't he!  Except for how he's now close to death sixty years later.  In that regard Kinda Seems Like He's An Idiot As Much As The Rest Of Us.  Hmm.  Bob Dylan even just wrote HIS NAME trying to make sense.  HMM.  Bob Dylan.  Does that check out?  Probably.  People'll buy that.  And we did!
    Huh.  Might try to work with guitar more this weekend.  Real Irreverent like.  Balance it with Sincerity though if that's what it comes to.  What the Hell am I talking about.  Honest best case scenario is I play 2 guitar tracks over each other for 3 and a half minutes.  YES but one track is Irreverence guitar and the other track is Sincerity guitar!  I dunno.  Maybe I play A Whole Lot More than that.  Whatever.  Another spot has disappeared in Stand Up Comedy Class.  Good.  Looks like there's a demand for it out there in the wide world of sports.  People wanna take this class!  There's ME.  There's THREE OTHER PEOPLE over the course of the last week.  Hmm.  Maybe I figure out what brand of comedy I can do and what my persona is based out of doing crowd work out of the other classmates in zoom.  Obviously I gotta try to make people laugh by talking at them IN WINDOWS.  So, whatever that is... then I figure out who I am based on that.  That makes as much sense as any other theory that never occurred to me.
    Sure!  ALT theory-- try to make Teacher Laugh.  Other students are all well and good but Teacher Entertainmenting is even better!  Hmm.  The good news is I Am Super Capable Of Accomplishing Anything I Want per my understanding!  Well I'm capable of GIVING IT A SHOT at least.  Couldn't HURT.  HURT is TRUTH BACKWARDS minus a letter.  The, "Truth Hurts" is practically a palindrome yet NOBODY TALKS ABOUT THIS.  It hasn't come up yet I guess.  Also when you add the S we get even further removed from the truth.   Whatever.  HEY I got a lot of entry left to go.  GOOD.  HOPEFULLY THINGS WILL HAPPEN.  IN WHAT RECIPE are we Adding Rock.  I can't think of a single dish!  Hmm.  There's Pop Rocks.  That's a food.  Maybe some sort of thing you wanna add pop rocks.  I'm not a good enough chef to think of anything, though!  What's the most complicated thing I ever cooked and why is it Just Spaghetti.  Is the answer because I'm an idiot or is that only partial credit?  I don't know!  Halfway through the entry!
    Yeesh.  CORRECTION Spaghetti WITH TOMATO SAUCE.  I like the website Rotten Tomatoes because it really leans into the idea that as a general rule of thumb the baseline is that Movies Suck.  We're gonna GO INTO the premise LOCKED AND LOADED, READY TO THROW ROTTEN FRUIT AT THE SCREEN.  That's what the premiere website for aggregate critic reviews is called.  They did NOT have to go in that direction but they did.  Seems kind of ANTAGONISTIC with the Film And TV Industrial Complex!  Other than the name though its a perfectly good website though.  I like the way they run things!  They could have chosen a more neutral domain title though!  Hmm.  I'm pretty sure we pronounce Zine like Zeeeen but is there a chance it could be pronounced Zyne?  This world is a fucked up place.  Anything is possible.  I don't know what to believe anymore to be honest!
   Seventh paragraph.  The world is a fucked up place!  It might not conform to my dumb expectations of how it works!  THAT'S FUCKED UP.  Hmm.  Four more paragraphs to go.  Great!  I'm watching The Wire this time around and I think pretty much all the characters are good people.  I haven't been CONSCIOUSLY passing judgment on all of them because What Am I Lord And Savior Jesse Christ BUT now that I think about it all of them seem to be pretty decent people being guided by halfway decent moral compasses.  They're not saints but who is.  SURE SOUNDS like I've been passing judgment on all of them.  YES BUT TEHY ALL PASSED.  Everyone's a winner.  They should be happy I'm passing judgment because EVERYONE PASSED.  Pizza Party after class for everyone!  It's on me.  What about HERC.  What about VALCHEK.  What's good about them.  THEY'VE EARNED PIZZA AS MUCH AS THE NEXT MAN.     
    Three paragraphs to go.  They're fictional characters!  That's why they deserve pizza.  In REALITY NONE of us deserve a pizza party.  Ah well.  Chuck E. Cheese deserves a pizza party because he's in charge of it and he won't get to enjoy it he'll have to suffer the consequences of it.  That's the only pizza party desertion there is.  Anyway I had anchovy pizza last night.  IT was good!  My dad saw a DEER on the highway yesterday.  He did NOT go out of his way to run it over.  WELL at least that wasn't part of the story.  I wasn't there!  I don't know what happened!  Hmm.  Not sure why Chuck E Cheese is a great Destination Birthday Party for kids.  Yeah.  I've HAD pizza before.  This really is nothing new to me.  I'm not out of my mind impressed over this premise.  What about the animatronic band.  I dunno!  Just don't give a fuck about it!  Never really captured my interest!  Not exactly sure why I'm supposed to be into it in the first place!  WASN'T MY THING.
   Seems like they came up with Hey what if robots played a song at you and THEN they were like Would Kids even like that and they were like Hmm PROBABLY.  They reverse engineered it.  There was no ORIGINAL DEMAND from kids that THEY WANTED robots to play a song for them.  IT WAS FORCED UPON THE CHILDREN.  Anyway.  I think Chuck E Cheese has an enclave for Arcade Games.  There's nothing wrong with that.  I wasn't huge into arcade games as a kid but they passed the time.  One of my favorites was any Car Game where you get INTO an Enclosed Car Area for the game because I'm like FINALLY SOME TIME TO MYSELF.  Get to be ALONE for a little bit.  SOME PRIVACY for a few minutes!  Anyway.  Whatever.  Got my lab results back from yesterday's doctor's appointment.  Everything is normal.  Except for Glucose!  My glucose is too high!  Which doctor doesn't seem to give a shit about.  Just one of those random things I guess.  Great!  One more paragraph!    
    Ugh.  3.5 Day Weekend begins in 24 hours and change!  If we're speaking in terms of hours I can just say 26 or 28 hours or whatever.  I don't need to say 24 hours and change.  I'll do things MY WAY thank you very much.  That's inaccurate.  I'll do things Some Way That Nobody Wants.  Not quite your way.  Not quite their way.  Not quite my way.  NOBODY WANTS the way I'm Gonna Do Things!  Anyway.  THE GLUCOSE IS TOO DAMN HIGH party.  That's who I'm gonna vote for for the next mayoral election.  There was a primary recently and/or imminently.  I have not voted yet!  It's all about judges and whatknot.  What am I Jessup Christ?  I'm not here to judge people!  That's why I should elect people to judge people for me.  Oh ok gotcha.  Does my specific vote even matter though?  I haven't seen the future yet to see if My Vote Will Exactly Matter.  Hmm.  That's a tough one then!  On the one hand voting will make me feel one sort of way.  On the other hand if I don't vote there's that other thing.  Huh.  Anyway that's it for now!  I'll see ya tomrorow.

You Make a Good Point

    Hey!  What's up.  What's going ON in other words.  Was pretty pleased with my weight today!  Lost me a few pounds the last couple of months.  Where did they go?  I guess I pooed and peed them out!  Or I sweated and sneezed them out.  Either way Doctor would not prescribe me The Covid Medication.  She just doesn't prescribe Covid Crap in general!  Good!  That's what I secretly wanted.  What Michael Secretly Wants is coming true!  What's another Secret Desire that's Come About.  Time Passing By With Nothing Happening.  Shh it's a secret.  If anyone asks I want Things To Happen while time proceeds.  But the truth is Let's Hold Our Breath from one moment to the next and Have Nothing Occur Indefinitely.  BAD things might happen Over The Course Of Time!  You don't wanna take that risk!  What am I talking about.  My Secret Desire for Nothing To Ever Happen.  I'M NOT SURE that's accurate.  But I wrote it anyway!  Go figure!
     Got Wendy's last night for dinner.  It was pretty good.  I enjoyed the hamburger.  I enjoyed the chicken nugget.  I enjoyed the French Fry.  Then I did it all over again for lunch today.  It was pretty good!  I enjoyed the hamburger.  I enjoyed the chicken nugget.  I enjoyed the French Fry.  THAT'S IT THOUGH.  Two Times is good for me!  No spoilers but the next Endocrinologist Appointment I set up is for the anniversary of me losing my virginity!  Sounds like a pretty big spoiler.  YES.  Am I the only one who remembers their First Sex Anniversary?  Was a pretty big day in my life!  Was one of the best things that ever happened for me!  I dunno if you've ever had sex but it's SO MUCH FUN.  Well by that logic when was the first time I went to Six Flags Great Adventure Fright Fest.  I don't know.  Fall 99?  I don't have an exact date!  Don't remember being tall enough for the best roller coasters.  I think I am now, though.  I THINK.  Am I tall enough now for The Best Women to have sex with?  Neh!
    Blessing in disguise.  Means I won't waste half the day waiting in line for the most popular women.  Spend that time ACTUALLY ON the medium sized attractions.  I like the Six Flags ride where it spins you around in a circle a bunch of times so fast that you don't need a seat belt Because You'd Think You'd Fall Out But You're Going So Fast That The Momentum Is Holding You In Place To Your Seat.  Because it's not just a ride it's an EDUCATION IN PHYSICS.  It's fun and learning!  Anyway.  About a quarter into the entry.  That's not nothing!  Probably gonna buy some marijuana this weekend even though I still have some leftover.  Just think it's time to re-up with a new STRAIN to throw in the mix.  They have something called Green Crack.  They assure me it has no Actual Crack Cocaine in it.  But the SUGGESTION of Crack Cocaine has my interest piqued!  That's really got my attention.  WHAT?  CRACK?  THAT RINGS OUT.  A lot of people seem to REALLY like that.  Well, I dunno about a lot of people.  But the people who do like it really can't seem to get enough of it!  How do I feel about the word, "Green?"  It's fine.
      LOOK.  If it was real crack I wouldn't do it.  Don't get it twisted!  Probably not.  Maybe if they were selling real crack I would do it.  I dunno!  I do dumb things sometimes!  Nobody is perfect.  Except for.. drum roll please.... I dunno... F SCOTT FITZGERALD.  How did I settle on him?  Idunno.  Wanted to say an American Author.  Why did I wanna say an American Author?  Who knows why these things happen!  F Scott Fitzgerald.  HEY THERE'S NO NEED FOR ABBREVIATED PROFANITY.  Anyway.  Used to have a kid in my K-8 class who's last name was Fitzgerald.  Not gonna say his first name.  I don't need to dox this poor soul.  Have you guys sending bomb threats to him every night.  HE DOESN'T DESERVE THAT KIND OF TREATMENT.  I wore my regular sneakers to the movie theater last weekend where I was around a lot of people and I realized Hey Theseadays I Have No Issues Being Around People Being My Regular Height As Opposed To Artificially 2-3 Inches Taller.  SO that's good.  I don't mind being Regular!  I don't mind being Taller!  EITHER WAY WORKS FOR MICHAEL!  Neither way works for ladies.  Even taller ain't tall enuogh!  Hey that's great good for all of us.
    Fifth paragraph.  Was The Great Gatsby written with the foresight that GAT would one day be slang for Firearm.  Gotta be written with some kind of foresight.  Let's give FSF SOME kind of credit.  He wasn't just shooting WILDLY into the air.  Is that a common metaphor for writing.  Shooting into the air?  That's what writing is like for me! SHOOTING GATS INTO THE AIR.  Like Yosemite Sam more or less!  Ah.  The Creative Process.  Anti-Yosemite Sam.  Is that a thing.  Maybe I pick up some pizza for dinner tonight.  Anchovie Pizza!  Sure.  Great Gatsby is just a B RATE knockoff of The Amityville Horror.  They're both Long Island Stories about Haunted Houses!  I MAY have not paid attention when we had The Great Gatsby in English Class.  Tobey Maguire gets invited to the party at the big house next door and then a voice goes GET.  OUT.  Something like that.  Why did they invite him just to tell him to leave.  Some other part of the house invited him.  The ghost girl invited him.  Then the horde of flies told him to get out.  You have to see the movie to understand.
   Halfway through the entry!  Great!  DID Jordan Peele get inspiration for Get Out from the famous phrase Get Out from Amityville Horror?  Also if you add a K to the Jordan Peele movie Nope suddenly you got a Parks & Recreation Bio-pic on your hands.  I haven't seen Nope yet.  My guess is it exists!  As much as any movie can exist at least.  Maybe everything we think exists doesn't really.  Who can say for certain.  I have concrete memory of actually doing the reading for The Great Gatsby on the train.  So don't come at me with you didn't actually read the book for English Class nonsense.  I read at least some of it!  It rings a bell!  WHY would you come at me with that.  IN WHAT UNIVERSE would that be something you would approach me with.  I dunno.  JUST IN CASE that's your POV... I'm telling you, it'd be an inaccurate stance to take!  I'm gonna say I read 80% of that book and Skimmed the rest!  YES.  Ugh.
   Seventh paragraph!  I'm not sure what we were supposed to get out of The Great Gatsby.  Did English teacher even TRY to impress upon us ANYTHING that we were supposed to relate to.  Nothing rings a bell!  AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM.  More like American Acceptionalism am I right.  Maybe.  That sounds right!  Not sure either of those phrases are relevant here though.  What concept or theme DOES relate to this book.  IDUNNO.  ONLY READ 80%.  DIDN'T REALLY REGISTER MUCH TBH.  NOTHING REALLY COMES TO MIND.  The one guy meets the other guy.  And the other guy is all like Whassup Gatsby Here.  But IS HE REALLY ALL THAT HE SEEMS?  YES AND NO.  The End.  Whatever.  It's not my favorite book.  It's only my THIRD favorite book.  OUT OF FOUR.  I know of four books.  There's THIS.  The Amityville Horror. ...  I dunno.  What was the last novel I read?  That's a good question.  What would be a good answer.  Probably the accurate one.  That'd be my favorite answer.  Out of all possible answers.  Anyway.
   Three paragraphs to go!  Let's see.  After today, I'm halfway through the working week!  Then we're onto a funfilled three day weekend!  If I'm able to duplicate the success of last weekend, which I MAY be able to do, I MAY have cracked the code of Enjoying My Life At Least During Weekends.  Each weekend day, take half a gummy early on in the day.  Take the other half an hour or two later.  Be Reading for a lot of the day.  And the rest will work itself out!  See a movie Saturday Night!  Try to work on guitarring as much as possible, as well!  This formula for the weekend worked ONCE.  No reason it shouldn't work FOR the REST OF MY LIFE.  Guess it's dependent on what I'm reading.  I was reading Kathleen Hanna book.  That's been very good but there's no reason to think there won't be More Other Good Books that will be good, too!  Creative Artist Memoirs in general as a genre might be the sweet spot. But there's plenty of them!  I'll be okay for now I guess!
   Penultimate paragraph.  I DON'T LIKE IT.  What don't I like.  Not sure but whatever it is I Don't Like It.  Anyway.  What's a Creative Artist.  You know.  As opposed to an UNCREATIVE Artist.  Ah I see.  What else do I got going for me.  I said recently I felt like Maturitywise I was stuck around graduating from high school into college or something.  I DUNNO.  Feels more like I'm graduating Junior High these days.  That's where my Maturity is at to be honest.  That could change EASILY QUICKLY.  Next week I could be Thirty Five Again.  But right now I feel more like I'm heading from middle to high school than anything else!  HEY the premise of Eminem Song/Video was it takes us back to 2002.  Which is Exactly What I Did That Year.  Graduate Middle School!  So that lines up I guess!  Cause I've been listening to that lately.  It nested inside my earholes!  So that's good.  I guess.  I was at my best In Life at the end of Middle School the first time around in 2002.  Everything was clicking!  This time around?  I dunno!  IT'S ALRIGHT.
   Last paragraph.  Let's see.  Is there anything in store for me tonight besides a couple more walks and The Wire?  Probably not!  That's okay.  That's more than enough.  People in third world countries WISH they could watch The Wire tonight.  Whatever.  Aren't we all Third World Countries.  We are the third rock a.k.a. world from the sun.  If the sitcom with John Lithgow and Joseph Gordon Levitt didn't convince you of this I don't know what will.  I had to look up whether it was Joseph Gordon Levitt or Justin Long.  They look alike to me!  Still not 100% that it's not Justin Long and the internet is doing a Psy-Op on me by saying it's JGL.  Anyway.  Google ARE YUO DOING A PSY OP ON ME with this Joseph Gordon Levitt thing.  Why would the internet admit it.  They'd never own up to it!  Not immediately, at least!  Anyway.  That's it for today!  I'll see you tomorrow.

I Don't Know Where To Begin

    Hey, friends!  Time to start a brand new great month!  Had a real great weekend.  Just really knocked it out of the park for myself.  Paced myself with a good amount of marijuana.  Did reading.  Went to see IF.  Played some guitar.  Enjoyed the new Enemam song and video.  Real Sentimental Like enjoyment.  How can it be Sentimental.  It's Brand New.  But what I Mean Is, I'll be sentimental about it one day.  Hmm.  IF was okay!  It wasn't great.  Wasn't really good.  I'm not even sure if it was even Okay now that I think about it!  But the experience was pretty fun!  Gave balance to my weekend just fine!  I did not have an imaginary friend when I was a kid but now that I think about it I definitely did Think At Some Sort Of Completely Undetermined Outside Entity so I guess I sort of did!  Did I get response back from Outside Entity as a kid?  I don't remember! Does that count as an Imaginary Friend.  THE REST OF TEH OUTSIDE UNIVERSE.  Especially if you take into account I didn't expect any answers back?  I dunno!  It kind of does!       
     Anyawy.  I guess I still have a pretty similar set up NOW as an adult.  But it's LESS FUN.  I still deal with Silent Outside Universe.  NOW I'D EXPECT RESPONSE BACK THOUGH.  GET TO A-TALKIN You Universe You.  I WANT ANSWERS.  Hmm.  Got Endocrinologist appointment tomorrow morning.  Gonna have an official weigh in!  I'm pretty well prepared to be happy with whatever scale says Unless It Says Something Really Unexpectedly Bad.  In which case I'm still in a headspace to Still Not Really Care.  For some phases of my life I Care A Lot About My Weight 24/7/4/12!  Not these days!  Still concerns me but I just amn't emotionally invested that much!  Which is probably a good thing.  I dunno!  It's good to not care about something that doesn't matter.  BUT on the other hand it's good to SET PRECEDENT and Care About This One Thing because then IT MAKES IT REGULARLIKE THAT I CARE ABOUT THINGS IN GENERAL.  We should care about things!  Probably.  Right?
     Did my first recording with this New Guitar.  Directly into the 8 track.  Cause it's AcoustoElectric.  Feels good!  Should be interesting going forward!  I think I'm gonna get into grooves with this guitar.  I guess!  Watching The Wire I wonder if Hmm wonder if I ever MANIFEST CHARACTERS when I'm Improving in class in the UCB.  Cause I'm just saying dumb lines off the top of my head which BEST CASE SCENARIO MAKE SENSE.  Meanwhile when I watch The Wire I'm like HOLY SHIT I ACTUALLY BELIEVE THIS SON OF A BITCH IS A REAL FUCKING PERSON.  A DIFFERENT FUCKING PERSON.  THAN THE OTHER FUCKING PERSON.  THAT THEY ARE.  WHAT THE FUCK.  So I wonder how far removed that is from what I'm doing.  Maybe it's close!  I have no way of knowing!  I haven't seen video of me doing improving!  Which is a good thing.  That sounds like the worst thing in the world!  Maybe probably 10% of my Improving I'd be able to handle seeing being played back.  I'd say I could tolerate 1 in 10 of it!  Gotta start somewhere!  The important thing is I have different priorities in life now so THE JOKES ON... uh... SOME OTHER GUY!
    Anyway.  Fourth paragraph.  Alright!  This lady started the premise of RIOT GRRRL?  AND came up with the phrase Smells Like Teen Spirit?  What is she PUNK FORREST GUMP?  She just shows up everywhere!  The words Smells Like Teen Spirit never come up in the lyrics.  I can't complain to Kurt Cobain about it but I can still complain to this lady about it!  Someone's gotta be accountable for something!  Her DOING THINGS isn't on par with Forrest Gump.  Forrest Gump just SHOWED UP places and did dumb pointless crap.  Kathleen Hanna ACCOMPLISHED coming up with Titles.  THAT'S NOT A FAIR ANALOGY.  Whatever.  I dunno!  Another person signed up for my Stand Up class.  Down to FOUR spots left.  If you wanna match wits with the likes of a Michael Like Me you can sign up!  Wait a second.  Do I STAND UP for when I practice stand up over zoom?  I GUESS so.  It's not Sit Down Comedy!  I even have a MIC I can hold that I normally use for music.  It would just be a PROP but HEY PROPS ARE FUN WE LIKE PROPS.
    Fifth paragraph!  What kinda crap do I got coming my way in terms of Crap I'll Stuff Down My Gullet tonight.  Probably get a delivery.  HMM.  Maybe some sort of Fasting Food.  Why not.  I got delivery from Local Bagel Store yesterday for 2nd time ever and got their hamburger for 1st time ever and it was OFF THE CHARTS.  It was like Hot Lunch from Elementary or Middle School Hamburger.  Which is something I used to DIG.  Really loved that hamburger!  Maybe get Fasting Food Tonight from say a McDonalds for example and get another kinda dumb hamburger!  BEEN A MINUTE since I got that sort of bullshit.  WHAETVER.  Let's see.  Been at the entry for a while.  Almost halfway done with it wordwise!  Started making my way back to A Tribe Called Quest this weekend.  Just occurred to me to re-check out their greatest hits!  Nice chill music.  Would recommend!  If that's what it came to!  ONE DAY I'll recommend them, sure!  I like the part where they come from 15 minutes from my house, too!  YES.  GEOGRAPHY.
    Anyway.  Wouldn't be a very long quest to get there.  Where.  To their Homebase.  An hour of walking!  Not a lot!  ANYWAY.  I started watching Godzilla Minus One.  It's pretty good.  Feels like a REAL movie.  Feels more like a real movie than possibly ANY OTHER MOVIE SINCE 2009.  COULD BE the first real movie since 2012.  Anyway I'm half an hour into that sucker and so far Godzilla has wreaked SOME Havoc!  I've been high for my viewing of it to be fair!  So I can't say for sure What Exactly Has Happened!  I believe Godzilla is a metaphor for GOD.  But how he's EVIL and KIND OF AN OVERGROWN REPTILE WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT.  I call em like I see em.  Kind Of High.  That's how I see em!  Hmm.  I assume they eventually try to placate Godzilla by building a Giant Lady Godzilla for him to preoccupy himself with.  That'd obviously be my first thought.  So I guess I PROBABLY know what's going to happen.  You can't just BUILD a Lady Godzilla.  Not with that attitude you can't!  Godzilla is LONELY.  That's what I'm getting.  That's the point I'm trying to make!  Well no it isn't.  Not really.
   Seventh paragraph!  Something is driving Godzilla and I wanna know what it is!  The tiny Godzilla that lives in Overall Godzilla's stomach that controls Overall Godzilla with buttons and levers.  Oh okay.  MAYBE it's with pulleys and ropes.  Not sure the exact system they got set up!  What else is going on.  My Dad wants me to ask Endocrinologist for a prescription for the drug that they give you when you get Covid.  I don't like it!  I DON'T HAVE COVID.  I don't wanna hoard this drug.  There's a limited amount of it!  Let people who need it get it.  On the other hand I'M NOT ONE TO ARGUE WITH FATER.  Not sure why not.  Maybe at some point I should flip a switch and BE ONE to Argue With Fater.  Go out of my way to do things my way.  But WHAT'S THE BENEFIT for doing it that way.  The CONSEQUENCE is my Dad feels bad and guilt trips me for going against him constantly nonstop.  What's the positive.  Hmm.  I DID IT MY WAY.
     Right now I AM doing it my way.  My Way Is His Way!  It's easier that way!  That's how I operate!  Three more paragraphs to go!  What movie can I go see this weekend.  Bad Boys Ride Or Die is a very strong contender!  I have very strong neutral feelings about that franchise.  I believe I'd be entertained pretty well by that movie.  Should get me in a groove pretty well.  ANYWAY.  Thinking about DIGITIZING a lot of my notes.  I got a lot of handwritten PHRASES.  90% of my, "Notes," are just 1-2 line phrases.  But anyway wanna get them typed up and committed to WORD DOCUMENTS as opposed to remaining fragile, hard to read spiral notebook fodder.  Even though a lot of it is just ONE LINE I feel like if I were smoking or drinking, if I was in JUST THE RIGHT HEAD SPACE, if I were Digitizing a phrase I MIGHT be able Couplet or even STANZA That Phrase IN TEH MOMENT while typing it up.  I Should Be So Lucky!  So anyway that's something I might do next weekend.  YEAH.
    Penultimate paragraph.  PHRASES?  You know, like a TITLE, or a random line of dialogue, or a lien in a song.  SOMETHIN.  Could be practically anything!  Ya never know what it might be!  Could Be Anything!  But once I type it all up and see it all next to each other one after another maybe It'll Look Like Something Altogether.  I dunno!  We'll see!  Story of my life maybe.  Story of someone else's life maybe.  Gotta be the story of SOMEONE'S life!  This is what The Mostly Silent Universe Has Been Saying Back To Me Here And There!  I guess.  Anyway.  If it's just writing up the notes It'll Be Bad.  If it's me being able to Add To Them In The Moment it'll be good!  We'll see!  WHAT ELSE is up.  What should I watch tonight if not just The Wire.  Still gotta finish the Robin Williams movie about Defection.  So far he has not changed his mind and gone back to the Soviet Union.  Still about an hour left, though!   
    Last paragraph!  WHAT CAN MY LIMITED IMAGINATION PRODUCE for this paragraph.  I guess we'll find out EXACTLY what it'll produce together.  Find out just what it's capable of Right Down To The Letter!  So Far This.  While watching The Wire recently, I realized, I THINK I LIKE TREME.  I'm imagining being A Guy In Social Situations Whose Like Actually When It Comes Down To It Treme Was Better Than The Wire.  I can't wait to Both Believe That and Be In That Situation.  Should be fun!  What else is up.  Can't wait to write tomorrow's entry in the sense that I get the stink of today's entry off me!  Not sure WHAT stunk about today but I feel kinda stinky for some reason.  I don't anticipate liking Having Nothing To Say Yet Again.  BUT I DO like the idea of the bad parts of today fading further into the background!  Sure, All New Bad Things will be coming into the foreground I guess.  Maybe not, though!  We don't know!  Anyway, that's it.  See ya tomorrow!
