i took my truest and a bottle of wine to the bowl

it was bugs bunny cartoons accompanied by the LA Philharmonic

they had some special guests like Tom & Jerry, The Flintstones, and Scooby Doo, for some reason

the people behind us couldnt stop talking. i wished them ill. and afterwards there was fireworks

as we walked down the hill to the subway, we saw this lady riding her inflatable toy.

<3 hollywood.

thats what youve gotta tell yrself.

which is funny because each of us has a story to tell

and they all end in death.

but we walk around putting our hands on peoples shoulders and say oh it’ll be ok

and they sniffle and say i know, i know.

but how do we know? we’re on the same crazy freak ride theyre on.

but weirdly, it does get better.

come out tomorrow.

everywhere i go i hear people talking about being unemployed.

woman sitting next to me on the subway asked a guy coming home from his security man job if they were hiring

he said he didnt know

she said she was sick of not having a job.

and i know that this may be funny to you but then she farted.

the kids behind me laughed but i didnt

the whole ride she kept looking over at what i was writing in my email

it’ll be ok

i typed

and hoped she saw

Or should it be unadorned and pure?

is there anything thats pure any more? especially in rock?

only thing that was pure is long gone, and thats the slow, strumming guitar of hank sr. who allegedly sold his soul to the devil at robert johnsons crossroads.

but when you write lyrics like this, you dont need any Fat Boy, phasers, or fuzz

He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low
I’m so lonesome I could cry

with that said i think every guitarist should master the theremin so anyone can bust into whole lotta love in a snap.

King James:
Also I have made a decree, that whosoever shall alter this word, let timber be pulled down from his house, and being set up, let him be hanged thereon; and let his house be made a dunghill for this.

English Standard Version:
Also I make a decree that if anyone alters this edict, a beam shall be pulled out of his house, and he shall be impaled on it, and his house shall be made a dunghill.

New Living Translation:
Those who violate this decree in any way will have a beam pulled from their house. Then they will be tied to it and flogged, and their house will be reduced to a pile of rubble.
