SHOPPING
24-7
shirt I saw on the subway. The font and arraingment were football-jersey-style, as though being a consumer was this young lady's sport, an athletic activity. Shopping 24-7, aren't we all? I wonder if she shops in her dreams. The pride associated with this (she is so very proud of it she has purchased a shirt proclaiming it) is both amusing and disturbing at the same time. Is this girl vapid? It's hard to call her "mindless" because she is seemingly completely aware of what she truly loves, and flaunts it. Does she deserve credit for this? Similarly, girls who wear shirts such as "100% BITCH," should I respect them more than bitches who do not declare themselves as such? Or should I be additionally aggravated by their pride in terrorizing others with their demanding and self important personas? Furthermore, does the shirt in fact give them the idea that they have lisence to be a bitch because "you have been warned" so to speak? Back to the SHOPPING 24-7 girl, would we prefer her to have no interests or hobbies at all (if shopping can count as a hobby which I think it can) or shall we recognize that she does not just robotically consume, but takes an ACTIVE interest in it, consider it her personal "thing" and just accept it. Is there something more worthwhile about my hobbies and interests?
LESSON: humans are born to consume. some of them will benefit from this, most will not.
STEVE REICH
Went to see his birthday celebration at Brooklyn Academy of Music last night. It was pretty good.
LESSON: Art is whatever rich white people are interested in.
In other news, last sunday Tommy, Randy, Will and I went on a double date apple picking. So for the past week we've had a bag of apples sitting on our living room floor. I ate one or two here or there, but really we all were aware that we'd soon have a rotting bag of apples on our hands. This is where living in a house full of knives and swords has finally come in handy, For Will has created apple sword baseball, and although it leaves shards of macintoshes all over the carpet, it is DA BOMB. Steve YANKOU (you know, misalligned multiple mohawks, way too tight shirts, weirdo Steve Yankou) called us absurd! But he hasn't tried it yet.

i want to go everywhere, especially kansas and montana. i want to take highway number 70. when i drive through kansas, on 70, i will drive really slow, because i really want to ride my bike through it, and i will drive so slow so i feel every fucking second of nothing because it will empty my head out and that's exactly what i need. then i want to go to the grand canyon and be impressed. then 'll go to california and portland and seattle and be charmed by civilization again, hopefully, and then i'll go home and be sick of being alone on the road so it will feel good to be back.
i bought an atlas and it's making me sick. i can't see whats there, only where it is, and i need to get there to see it, you know? right there under a fingernail, which would smash 7 counties. tiny points i can't point to, one damn stalk of oat or something, you know?! you know?!?!?
DO YOU KNOW? I DON'T THINK YOU DO.

Yesterday, sat bitch the whole ride down to DC. It was cool though. Jersey sucks so bad it's completely unbelievable. I'm sorry, but that smell is like FICTIONAL! passed 2 of my favorite cities, baltimore and philadelphia, and get into maryland, which i just like as a state in general. But anyway, the road we drove into DC was really really beautiful. we saw joe lally, antelope, and the evens. they were all pretty good, i'm definitely going to get the joe lally album when it comes out. antelope was also good, but i wasn't that into the vocals. then the evens, who i saw about a year ago. their new songs were great, they performed well. Ian yelled at us a little bit. i know i recently swore i would never talk shit about Ian, but really, EVERYONE at that show was about 22-50. there were like, NO teenagers there. and we really don't need to be told what punk is about again. i was talking to my roommate tommy this morning, about how punk is about creating your own ideology, and i think Ian would agree with that, but then sometimes he really does seem to feel this automatic need to tell us what punk is! If i were him, someone who accidently created what one could easily consider a religion (straight edge, i would be very very very adament about telling people to think for themselves. he contradicts himself sometimes in that way. i KNOW he wants us to think for ourselves, but him telling us to wake up IS in a sense telling us what to do. Although, me saying punk is about NOT having an ideology is kind of an ideology.
Also, mark, that guy who wrote dance of days, was working the door. he had a weird stain on his shirt, and we made fun of him for it, then will said we should leave DC because we're poison and he's right. new yorkers are terrible.

i typed up the review to show my brother so i may as well share it with you guys. but still, i guess you should go buy the magazine cuz its good and independent blah blah blah.
( about the truth is ridiculous volume 1 )
and here's some new comics. this is 2 pages from the next volume. yes i still make comics.
also, we have a pet rat now, her name is Reverse Pacman.
whattt else. yes i still have my chinese delivery job, and did not quit because i moved. i mean, most people commute MORE than 20 minutes every day, so what are you insinuating? that my job is a joke? well my life is a joke so it suits me!
Go see The Devil & Daniel Johnston.
I'm reading the dictionary. I'm on the "Br"s.
I was reading some Charles Bukowski. It's very good. The Ciccone Youth EP is really good. But it's Pavement season for sure. Anything else? no. WHATEVA SEE YA LATA.

So I had this idea the other day.
See, I grew up reading the comics obsessively as a child, the good ones and the bad ones. As an "adult" I now see that many of them really suck. Particularly, Family Circus. I don't know why I chose it to despise, as other strips spare my hatred due to the sentimentality of reading them as a child, such as For Better Or Worse, which clearly sucks. Anyway, I decided that I was going to mutilate the Family Circus every day in a project dubbed "Family Jerkus" or "Family Circle-Jerk".
But then, while looking online for a free daily source of this sappy, sugar coated crap-fest which cause my eyeballs to spasm and burn, I came across this, apparently it has already been done.
Alas, I had already started my quest, so here:
Yes I am aware that these suck, but I was allowing that they would mostly suck because I planned on doing one every day, and I just don't have the supply of creative juices to facilitate a daily lashing that is both crude, offensive, AND witty.
Shall I go on? Shall I turn my rage to "Rose Is Rose"? Only time will tell.

I got my car back today, which was a relief after driving mom's jeep around for a week, it started to get painful, the tight clutch and the wind sneaking in through the canvas top. Felt like I was driving an appliance, now Team Red (so very aptly named in so many ways) feels smooth and sleek. Dad taped a boombox to the dashboard and it slides around because the duct tape is mostly pressed onto dust and dirt, not so tight, at every red light I think maybe it will hit me in the face this time.
I noticed driving down mamaroneck ave back home, the skyline of White Plains has changed a bit, high rise apartment buildings, and I know how high because I've been to the tops of all of them, on deliveries (why go to food when it will come to you?), and I've been wondering where these people came from, where they lived before. Who are these buildings filled with? Do they move in from out-of-town, now that there's so much luxury room for them? And then we build them luxury malls within walking distance, not that they'll walk, and office parks nearby, and basically they will all come here and be indoors all the time, through luxury hallways to luxury elevators to garages (nothing covered in grease and oil is luxury) to luxury SUVs, and then to other not-so-bad garages, so the weather means nothing but road conditions.
I don't know who the mayor is, I didn't vote or not vote for this faceless nameless politician because my address stays with my mom because that's a lot more permanent than wherever I might be, she just leaves my mail in a pile, mostly bills and white envelopes full of information about things I once was but now am not interested in.
Anyway, I don't even live in the consumeristic fantasy land that is WHITE PLAINS PROPER, actually. I live in silver lake, which basically means I can park my car in front of my house overnight legally, but not without the neighbors and landlords (old Italian "men" and "women" who really become non-gendered as they age, planting themselves down hard here so they are hardcore Italians as well as hardcore silver lake residents, specifically Preston Avenue) fretting about it's precise location and the length of it's stay.
Anyway I hardly even live in SILVER LAKE anymore because as of sunday I am a non-resident of mount vernon, a proper city with the proper crime and luxury means you have your own house and it isn't attached to someone else's. Not that I'll be experiencing that luxury, actually for the time being I will be dwelling (not RESIDING, mind you, still can't vote) in Pat and Tommy's living room untill the apartment upstairs is luxuriously painted and carpeted and then I will attempt to cram myself and my po-zessions into a bedroom that is not even twice the size of my mattress. Just another in the list of things I will do, ways I will live, in order to avoid working in an office or even full time. I suppose I will probably be playing a lot of tetris.

[16 Feb 2006|01:12pm] |
basically, ian mackaye is pretty much...he's really awesome.
i went to a Q&A with him and i have to say, he just IS REALLY AWESOME.
here's the thing.
thurston moore and kim gordon are jackasses. i love sonic youth (not as much as fugazi but whattteva that's not what i'm talking about) and i'm listening to them right now, but as people, i can just picture them posing for photo shoots and collecting records and talking their hipster talk and starting clothing lines and buying their kids kitschy furniture from catalogues and being all around SCENESTER GODS. whereas ian is PUNK AS FUCK. he's in his 40s and isn't even cynical or bitter. i find absolutely nothing objectionable about him, and i intend to be like him for the rest of my life (besides the no drinking stuff), and i'm not even "following his lead", that's just what i want to do and it also happens to be what he does. he, who is a lot older than me, made me feel so much better about the world. usually i get my dose of enthusiasm from hanging out with kids.
i know i say i hate sincerity and enthusiasm, but in reality i really really respect and love it and hope to one day be sincere and enthusiastic.
so in conclusion i will not make fun of ian mackaye anymore. not that i ever really did, except for that one mix tape which i named "ian mackaye - gettin' wasted"
also, i made an awesome shirt. it's black and it says ALBINI in iron on letters, a jersey type of font. it rules. i'm only half serious, and i wore it yesterday to the ian thing and steve yankou seemed a bit disgusted. haha.
no but i really love albini.
if i made a MACKAYE shirt though, it would be much more sincere at this point. if i ever go to an albini Q&A i will make such a shirt.
also, jem cohen was there and i was too wussy to talk to him, even though i'd met him before at the IFC center when he showed his new movie "Chain" which was really really good and i insist that you go see it if you can find it in a theater near you, which is unlikely. :( :( :(
i saw mission of burma last week and that was pretty good. they played a lot of new stuff, and i liked it so i'm glad that i ordered that singles subscription, in which matador will send me a one sided 12 inch of each single they release from the next album. if i wasn't lazy i'd post a link but they're probably sold out of that shit anyway. it was a limited release typea thing.
Some kind of Delta 5 CD got released, and being somewhat broke and seeing it in the window at kim's last night, i just couldnt go in at all because i would not have come out without it, and i just spent a ton of money on pretty much every Smog album. i also wanted to get the raincoats albums on CD because i only have them on tape... and the other slits albums.
did you know i don't like le tigre?
And then that sonic youth CD is coming out, the first EP and the new one so i'll be needing to buy that. i wish i didn't get the new cat power because it's not that great despite being called "the greatest" and i'd rather own the above mentioned things, but oh well.
ian mentioned that the bassist of fugazi, joe (i think i have a crush on him) is putting out a solo album sometime soon. i have a feeling it will be awesome.
maybe i'll post a picture of the albini shirt later.
i hope some of you cared about some of this? do i even really care if you care? no i dont. fuck you.

| full hourly comic day! |
[02 Feb 2006|12:55am] |
( first two here )
i'm pretty sure i did one for each hour, at least. i didn't notice. i have 4 batman watches (and 1 spiderman) but i wasn't wearing any of them today because none of them are set properly.
obviously the panels i did at purchase were with ballpoint pen and no pencil. sorry if they're hard to read.
i'm sure you guys will let me know when 24 hour comic day is and i'll try and participate in that too. i hate the word participate, it reminds me of gym class.
and thanks mom for the guest panel!

i have a comic from a few days ago i never scanned and i'm thinking about doing a quick photo essay about my car today, so there might be a lot of posts from me in the next 24 hours. also, i will try really hard to keep up with the hourly comic thing, i think i'm really just documenting everything i do today so far, keeping track of time isn't really my thing. i'm opposed to time, the oppression of civilization!! whatever.

I was driving around/working two days ago and listening to NPR, they were talking about how they can't find Osama Bin Laden, and I said, out loud, to myself, completely in earnest:
"for god's sake, why don't they just use cerebro!?"
yeah. NERD ALERT.

jan 31 - Skeletonbreath @ cake shop
feb 5 - Old table, Lance Romance @ cake shop
feb 7 - Old table, Mike V @ lit lounge
feb 10 - Mission Of Burma @ irving plaza
feb 24 - Blue Velvet, General Miggs, Skeletonbreath, Coccoon @ glass house
feb 25 - The Vibration @ cake shop
mar 18 - Silver Jews @ webster hall
i will probably be at most of these.
i already have tickets for MOB and the silver jews.
i'm really just posting this because i was losing track.
and don't forget this:
only dweebs who like (or don't like) black eyes, black dice, black flag, and big black will think that's funny but i don't care.
besides everyone SHOULD like at least black flag and big black, and black eyes rule, and who really cares about black dice.
also, i will be in philadelphia again on february 3rd and 4th.
also, i would like to purchase a small knife to clip in my pocket. i asked my brother(rob was not online) where i might get such a thing and he asked me if i'm gay.
also, i am somehow related to john oates of hall & oates and that is ridiculous.
also, i downloaded a ton of live fugazi and it is awesome.
also, as well, in addition, on top of that, this too:
apparently the direction the water goes when you flush the toilet has nothing to do with the equator or what hemisphere you are on(in?). that is a total lie. i was lied to by the simpsons.
