I got to meet Mike Watt when he played with Jandek at UC Irvine. I went to shake his hand and he went in for one of those cool kind of...upside down handshakes? Where your arms are bend at the elbow and you're like...bros. Of course, I wasn't ready for that and kind of shook his hand like a spazz.

"This is literally the hottest it has ever been in all of recorded history." Sort of mind boggling. It boggles. Is/are boggling. Have/has/had boggled ( Read more... )

I've apparently reached some sort of "sexual frustration critical mass," as now even the women in my dreams are leading me on. Jesus Christ...

Before we begin, I just want to say that today is my first day back to work after a week off, and within 30 minutes I was already planning an arson. God damn it I hate these people ( Read more... )

I tend to get stuck in these negative thought loops, so I gotta keep some things in mind/get a mental grip on the scope of these problems ( Read more... )
