i used to like you too

this guy came up to me at the 2nd NOFX show and said "Draycott Street!!!"
it soaked my sails in whiskey and wonder.
if i picked up my guitar right now and tried to play it, failure would most certainly ensue.

i used to have 250+ daily unique visitors to this site.
the metering site i had is gone, but today i assume it's around 17 or 3.
i don't mind, as long as you've been doing something creative with your time.

i forget the guys name (back-to-back NOFX shows makes the mind a little melty,) but the scenario really sent me spinning all kinds of ways about stuff. about thrice a year, random people come up to me and say "i used to read your website everyday." used to. that's the dirty back-end of the compliment. you used to be cool, i used to like you, that beer i owed you expired in 2006. it is, of course, entirely my own fault. when i don't post, there is no fence. i used to post almost every day, random whatevers, back when bush was in power, back when i was a creative director in PG, the boss, the cheese, if shit was running smooth, i was free to flush. it's a little different now, less time, more golf. i think the archives from the old site are gone, and that gives me sad-face, but that was then and this is gonna happen anyway.

i had quite a rebellion going in those days, before facebook and twatter turned everyone into artists. unfortunately, not everyone went to art school, myself included. now, my favorite people on facebook are the broken ones, who somehow still operate in real life, or pretend to, on facebook, broad-casting their windy dreams and daily nothings without any meaning or proper spelling. it's these folks who suck up most of my time on facebook, the boldly depressed, and bafflingly un-educated. my actual friends are way better in real life.

stopping this tangent now. the point of this post was supposed to be that i've written a new acoustic album and it's the bee's breeze. demo recording is half done, final recording should start after my tri-fuck-ta of august camping trips. focus on the fire first, everything else is cold and lonely without it. im excited about this album. it has a hit song and an instrumental song. it even has a couple songs i wrote during my final months up in PG. wrote the rest in the last year or so since YOU BIG IDIOT fell down the stairs and remains in a lonely un-sanitized hospital bed. but the album is fun, and stupid, and i think it will make you smile.

follow me on twitter, you twat, and let's like each other again.

update: after a couple months on twitter, im not that good, or funny, so don't waste your mouse clicks and at-work seconds, go outside and throw sandwiches at seagulls.
