Somebody else can be the mayor for a little while, I have some things to do

i will pay someone a weekly retainer of forty dollars to shoot me in the back of the head when bad feelings creep in

this week i'll be speaking and responding solely with things james brown screams out in various songs, like "time to do the camel walk!' and 'I wanna get down with my girlfriend!'

Me at 25: “pfft, the songs are just the same chords and tempo for fourteen minutes!” Me at 40: “dude - the songs are the same chords - and tempo - for fourteen goddamn minutes!”

James Brown just dropped a sexy rambling monologue about hot pants for about six minutes and the audience was enraptured

“Don’t let no man tell you how to wear ya pants”

Various cultural objects from the day collided and now I’m imagining a 1970s X-Men comic where they meet James Brown and learn about how heroin disrupts inner city communities

It’s honestly baffling that every public event doesn’t just blare “Livin’ in America” to start things off

Next time someone pisses me off this is the only warning they get

Holy trinity of internet culture: - we’re just normal men - mike, see what you’ve done? - cleaner, I GOT this You may disagree and that’s fine, I don’t care

Anyway not to brag but I just slayed a five voice synth patch and some freehand microKorg on top despite having only two hands and no training in musical theory, I guess I’m just that fuckin fantastic

Anyway I took my nephew bowling, that was hype as hell

I never really got into James Brown and born at a time where you only really caught his legal cases in headlines But going back to his early records, you see why so many people put up with so much shit for so long too

you know what rules? James Brown’s “Cold Sweat”

There’s bound to be at least a few other people online my age who are activated by the sentence “the car wash cost five dollars”

At a skim I thought this was an off-label Goosebumps book

I mean, has anyone ever stopped to consider that maybe Vic Morrow and those two kids had bad vibes?

Trying to think of the last time I felt comfortable in a given environment, instinctively I was gonna say “podcasting” but a lot of that was pretty fraught

Not that anyone ever asked but young Godard actually was the mayor’s first style template

i want to think the median queer person with mental illness doesn’t have this many goddamn conversations about whether theirs “actually count”

Milllennial American weebs:

People always hear my middle name (‘Aloysius’) and think it’s a bit but pal, if I was making up middle names I’d go with something badass, like “Blaze” or “Pussydestroya”

All I really need is to get through the next two weeks because after that the local art cinema is screening TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA for two straight weeks and I already know I'm seeing it at least twice

I’m making it a point to drive out and finally see a desert

“Hello, my name is Darius Queen. ‘Derry’ to my friends, and I don’t understand what everyone’s laughing about.“

the lessons of Contact Mike are a big part of why I haven’t killed myself

YOU - I'm once again reminded of how Contact Mike rose from the slums of Saint-Batiste to the top of the boxing world, overcoming adversity and serious brain trauma. Nothing is coming -- nothing he wouldn't knock out in three rounds. The real fight is for the right attitude.
