Mullet Watch: Day 10
hipsterdiet:
Still. Not. Trimmed.
I’m searching for mullet trim DIY tutorials.
Will, all you have to do is hang upside down from a swing set and then cut it flat. Instant mullet.

loose canons and scotch
It’s 4 in the morning and I was trying to get arrested, mouthing off to a half dozen cops that were loitering around the convenience store that I had just sumbled in, some where in the middle of nowhere between Macon and Athens Ga. I vaguely remember this. More things happening that are not me but maybe at one time was me, in that moment but more than likely just the scotch. Macon is...

Religion Politics and Business
March 1st. 2008
Give anyone enough rope and they are bound to find a way to hang themselves, even if only accidentally. Rosa had beer in his afro last night. I had a bunch of business, political and religious conversations that I cannot remember. Jon got dragged out of the bar by his girlfriend. I prevented 2 different fights from happening that I was not involved in. No one threw Chris out of...
For my brunette
You Swathed in the coal embers of sleep Buried in blankets and otherwise Under warm ocean depths Gasp occasional half thoughts and names From beneath and above I hear these efforts And beg silently that those words and names Are mine
Baby Teeth
Baby teeth Category: Friends
It really didn’t hurt much. It scared me more than anything. But it should have hurt. And now I am missing teeth and I have a mouthful of black dirt and Nat is nowhere to be seen. But I swear it didn’t hurt. Just turned around and it was a dull thud against my face, a short length of 2x4 and I was out cold. ...
With my own two hands
I take them out one by one and stare at them for a while. Tools. Several of them are rusty, they are all dirty and some have black grease on them. I put my hands in my back pants pockets and bite my bottom lip a bit. Days like today when nothing seems quite right, and it feels impossible to start anything, and everything is gray are the ones that I doubt. Rusty tools. The tape measure is broken,...
Songbirds of Nashville
Leave home at 11pm Get to Nashville at 3pm, Get an hour back, it’s 2pm Hotel has a dead sparrow in the stairwell. Went to Nashville to sing for a living, failed, and died in the stairwell. It is yellow. It’s eyes are closed and no ants have found it yet. Sleep for 2 hours. Get stirred from sleep by prostitutes in adjacent rooms loudly and enthusiastically working. Probably on the...

I am not signing a god damned thing. Especially...
The reason why I did not sign the video agreement paper and that it became an issue to begin with is because one of the staff… Well honestly one of the staff at the ******, told me that I had to sign a piece of release form to allow the ****** to show our video for the music video Snow
To which I replied, well you pay BMI don’t you? That’s the people I am signed on with so,...

Carpentry is not something that you would speak of with other people that wear tight pants or are bragging about cutting edge culture. But for the last couple weeks it has been all that interests me and I don’t really have much else to talk about. I left my makeshift shop at one a.m. on Sunday morning covered in pine dust and stain. It feels good to make something with your own two...

Whatever you think creation means.
I haven’t had a drink since June first. June first I wanted to fight everyone. I told a large room of 300 or so people a bunch of inane and insightful things through a microphone amplified at roughly 4000 watts, that really were mainly aimed to arouse and possibly insult, and I don’t remember any of it, not even breaking the guitar, or refusing my pay at the end of the night. In any...
Sending coins in the mail
Our agent is working Boston out. I don’t know where we will play. I hope to play the Middle East in Cambridge again, it is a choice place. It was really strange going up to Boston, a couple years ago. I thought about you while I was there for the Music Festival. I ate at a restaurant downtown that had bison meat. It was very succulent, and nothing like bovine steak. I was in a foul mood at...
On the Road Again
hipsterdiet:
Cue Willie Nelson. On the road for the next 4 days going cross country then taking a break in NY. Right now I’m on pace to do LA to Vegas in 3.5. Considering how loaded my car is, I’m pleased.
Accounting. Chauffers. A stones throw from...
How many? I keep counting… How Many? No way, I can’t bloody believe it. Well, I suppose Three hundred albums in three days is great if you don’t have a record deal, and aren’t owned by anyone. The release party was beautiful. If you were there you know and thank you. Some of those pictures… well they are of someone else. Not the person writing this, and nowadays he...
A fin for ten tries
Almond and sugar baked until done Adored at the circus by daughter and son Past dunk tank clown and barker of wares Petting zoo sheep and house full of scares Beyond lover’s lake and paddle boat swans Bereft teens’ lust swaying ripples these ponds Through craft show alley with gammers and gams Thorough and sure with their nickels and shams I bring this penny gold fish that I won just...
