THINGS ABOUT TODAY BECAUSE TODAY I'M VERY HERE

OUTDATED BLOG OF THE DAY: creepy, abandoned Chi-Chis

ALBUM OF THE DAY: David Byrne's THE CATHERINE WHEEL soundtrack

BONUS YOUTUBE VIDEO OF THE DAY RELATED TO ALBUM OF THE DAY IN WHICH ARTIST INTERVIEWS HIMSELF:



THING I STILL WANT TO KILL OF THE DAY: neighbor's smaller dog, who I am now convinced might be capable of invoking a hole in the solar system that will eventually become a spigot of sludge and hence our ending

MESSAGE I GOT ON FACEBOOK FROM SOMEONE WHO IS EITHER PRETENDING TO KNOW ME OR IS GENUINELY CONFUSED OF THE DAY: man ive missed you so much like u have no idea. its so boring, jake just like stopped coming and theres been ppl around town that look like you but its not and i just really want you to come back. wether you believe it or not u had an impact on me and everyone else in the youth group. u talked to me a couple of days after i meet you and i tried to call u that night on new years just to say that i hope u have a safe trip back and that you can come back as soon as possible. u really are the greatest person thats ever impacted me like that before. u gave me trust, granted you didnt reveal everything up front but u did tell me some stuff and i thank u for that. my # is 706-767-5641 call me some time but after 1 because i have school till then. u better call me and tell me when ur coming back. thanks for trusting me. and i cant wait to see u again? did u grow ur hair out? or didnt u rethink that. Happy Hippy! lol im slowly growing my hair back out, u should come and watch it,

DIANE WILLIAMS STORY I FOUND THAT YOU CAN READ ONLINE AND MAKES ME FEEL SIMULTANEOUSLY READY TO STAND UP FROM MY CHAIR AND READY TO CONTINUE SITTING IN IT FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS, A FEELING I CAN'T QUITE UNDERSTAND OR EXPLAIN: Aggressive Glass and Mirrors

THING I DISLIKE MORE THAN MY NEIGHBOR'S DOG OF THE DAY: my neighbor

THING I NEVER WANT TO THINK ABOUT AGAIN OF THE DAY: my neighbor

VIDEO OF THE DAY OF A PERSON ASCENDING PLACE, WHICH I GENUINELY ENJOY FOR NOT ENTIRELY PORNOGRAPHIC REASONS:




THING I WISH I COULD GO BACK AND TELL MY FAT TEENAGE SELF OF WHICH I REMINDED AFTER SEARCHING SEVERAL ITEMS ON EBAY OF THE DAY: stop buying the goddamn Marvel trading cards. you don't even want to look at them. you're only buying them to try to collect them all and you don't even read the backs or look at the pictures besides when you flip through them in their protective cases. they will never be worth anything. they will sit in your closet forever. you can get the whole set on ebay right now for $4. and no you won't miss them, they do not add anything to your young life despite being useless, because you get just as much mental satisfaction out of eating breakfast cereal. nothing will be 'damaged' if you never collect marvel universe trading cards, but you will have a lot more room in that closet at your parents' house that is filling up with more and more and more crap. relax.

Wow, that beautiful agony video is interesting.

I still have my Marvel Trading cards if you want to compare and/or barter with each other for meaningless pieces of cardboard sprayed with chemicals.

I, of course, will deny all knowledge of said Marvel cards if I become a famous writer.

Because trading cards are not very literary. what would the critics tihnk!

I was quite disappointed when I first searched ebay to see how much Marvel cards went for. I have the first three sets, and I was hoping to pay off my student loans or vacation around the world or buy a house. At the very least buy dinner...

That Byrne video is great.
