Lately I've been thinking that there's no real reason to continue forcing my music out there anymore, but if fuckin Conner, Tanner, and Brantlee are gonna bring their fuckin fitted tees and camo hats into our culture of outsiders, that means I still got a goddamn job to do!

Lost interest in Mastodon years ago because I got tired of hearing Brent Hinds be a troll at the start of every album cycle. Seemed the guy was always complaining about something. He's been out of Mastodon over 5 months, and he's still complaining. But everyone else was the problem? I doubt it.

💩 Well, screenshots have surfaced on the Mastodon subreddit that allegedly show ex-vocalist Brent Hinds taking yet another shot at his previous bandmates, accusing them of being "two people who can't sing" and that "only [Hinds knows] who they really are." metalinjection.net/news/drama/b...

Don't usually remember dreams, but when I do they tend to mean something. I'm back in high school, going thru the motions when I realize "wait, I've already graduated, I can just leave!" My legs are heavy, but I'm leaving, and yelling my frustrations about being fooled into staying for so long.

#AEWDynamite moved quickly, and let us experience so many different emotions throughout the show. The in-ring action was great, reasonable fan service, several stories moved forward, and some of it's carrying into Collision as well. Zero complaints from me. 🤼‍♂️

The musician's struggle: Wrote my first (terrible) song at 11 years old, I knew maybe 5 chords. Put out my first 2 albums at 16, had them available at the local record store. Started playing live regularly in my 20s, organizing music festivals in my 30s, and made the local paper a couple times.

Some faceless "sports cat" profile was trying to give me shit this morning for my opinion, and then blocked me when I returned the same energy. That is bluesky in a nutshell. Motherfuckers with their fingers in their ears goin "lalalalala". 😆😆😆

I've been doing this social media thing for years because "gotta put yourself out there", but I have not enjoyed it for a very long time. I'm a bored stay at home dad during summer break, so I have time, but I'm gonna start using it better. Anything would be more rewarding than posting.

Anyway, the G1 tournament this year has been some of the best pro wrestling I've ever seen. And as an added bonus, there's no one in #NJPW with an active sexual assault case! 🤼‍♂️

Made microwave popcorn on the stove using a little chicken grease, avocado oil and Kashmiri chilli powder. It was really good, but that's because I took a reasonable snack, and made it as unhealthy as possible. This was supposed to be funny, but I've already spent 10 minutes on this post, I give up.
