Everything Everybody's Telling You Is Not True

Summer days weigh on every molecule of your body. Just heat and humidity and unpaid loans and street chatter and cheap food and phoned-in love affairs and unnecessary bar bands and hazy illusions of grandeur and all the things that just weigh on your body every single day for sixty days when good people should be doing good things for one another, arms wrapped around each other's shoulders, fists in the air, fists in the air, fists in the air, fists in the air, fists in the air, fists in the air, fists in the air, fists in the air, fists in the air, fists in the air, fists in the air...I would give up on everything with everyone if it wasn't for Jim. Hold steady.

Happy, Birthday Tentacles

Photo by Lando Speers

Down to the ghost words
Sharpening our bodies like knives
Rest assured of a certain end
In the waking hours we are thin wolves with no collars - surviving on the scraps of each other
Between impossible things, our sacred tryst caught on the lives of uncomprehending others.

Designarrs pt.1

Outside of being the reigning champs of "Best Dudes in the entire Universe, beating out Turbo Buddha and the Hulkster, Taylor Schaerer & Andrew Benson are both incredibly talented illustrators and designers.

Armies of musicians especially owe each of them a debt of gratitude for all the incredible poster and album artwork they've done.

They're also responsible for your summer looking like this:
