Just heard someone say they like to find vintage watches and set them to the time they were born.

My first thought was, “I don’t like myself that much.”

My wife is staying out of town for work this weekend.

When did she stop loving me?

Is she meeting up with Chris Cornell?

How many times will she drunkenly facetime me to ask me to come get her?

Will I have white people tacos or Stouffers?

There’s a special pain when you discover someone you find attractive supports evil.

Week 42 of asking for this song to be injected directly into my veins. #spiritbox

Since I took a BlueSky break:

- I published a new poetry collection.
- My grandfather died and I stopped talking to my father.
- I recorded two new albums.
- I watched all of Girls.
- I barely wrote any fiction.
- Your mom won’t stop texting me.
- I didn’t get prettier.

Oh yeah! Y’all were so happy to see me leave too.

I think I’m done with Bluesky.

Just a head’s up in case I delete this account in the next 24 hours.

I told my wife the only time I enjoyed exercising was when I was in elementary school chasing girls on the playground, so I suggested if she wants me to exercise she should let me chase her around.

She laughed at me. 😔

Dear people who complain about dating apps,

You realize you don’t have to use them, right?

But some of you are so boring and insufferable you can’t meet people IRL, right?

Thanks,

People in America have a hard time believing other countries exist.

The government doesn’t want you to die and be replaced by AI. They just don’t particularly care if you live or die.

So stop saying shit like “they wanna wipe out the population.” They don’t care enough to do that.

As an ambient musician, poet, and postmodern novelist, I fear the world is never going to be ready for my level of pretentiousness.

My self-deprecation also gives people the ick. 🙄

If you have to say you’re intelligent or brag about your intelligence, I don’t know how to break this to you…

Excerpt from one of the first Bukowski poems I read circa 2015: "The Great Lover."

I just want everyone in my life to speak to me the way people talk to him on The Bear.

Is that too much to ask?

I had a nightmare I bought another Firebird. I sold mine in January because it was the most uncomfortable guitar in the world to play.

I never won any major awards, but my niece did call me “da da” before any other male figure in her life.

Dean was probably a freak, though.

I wish Bluesky was more like my last year of undergrad and less like that grad school course where I earned my only B, which probably stood for B O R I N G.

Apparently, even my subconscious loves my wife because I’m married and faithful to her in my dreams.

Sinners had a great cast.

Mostly great music.

Great take on vampires.

Unfortunately, it’s an hour too long and poorly paced.

Still better than Wakanda Forever.

Me waiting for Sinners to get good.

When someone stops interacting with me, I assume either they have other things to do or I annoyed them in some way. I’m fine with that because people grow apart for various reasons, and stuff happens.

I thought that would be obvious to someone if I stopped interacting with them.
