MORNING SOBRIETY

SO THIS IS WHAT MORNING LOOKS LIKE? I MEAN IV'E HEARD OF IT,SURE,I SEE IT ON TV AND IN MOVIES,MY MOM TALKS ABOUT IT SOMETIMES,BUT IT'S KINDA LIKE ALOE VERA JELLO OR KANGAROO MEAT,YOU KNOW IT'S REAL BUT IT SEEMS A LITTLE RIDICULOUS.SOMETHING ONLY AN ELITE FEW HAVE EXPERIENCED.NOT REALLY TANGIBLE.
YET HERE I AM,AWAKE WITHOUT THE AID OF AN ALARM..
LOOK! THERE ARE PEOPLE OUTSIDE,WALKING.WHAT ARE THEY DOING? WHAT IN GOD'S NAME COULD THEY POSSIBLY BE DOING UP AT 9:30 AM? HOW DID I GET HERE? THIS IS NOT A CIRCLE IN WHICH I TRAVEL.MORNING,YOU ARE A STRANGE AND UNKNOWN PLEASURE.
YOU SEE,MY BODY SHUT DOWN YESTERDAY AFTER A 16 DAY BENDER,DURING WHICH I WAS KEEPING MYSELF ALIVE ON A DRIP OF ALKA SELTZER,IMMODIUM.AIRBOURNE AND ZANTAC.OVERWORKED AND UNDERPAID,MY LIVER HAD HAD ENOUGH AND GOT THE REST OF THE ORGANS TOGETHER AND WENT ON A STRIKE.WITH NO POSSIBLITY OF HAVING A DRINK,EVEN TO QUELL THE RAPID AND THREATENING PACE OF DRUMMING IN MY CHEST,I ATE FOOD, AND DRANK WATER.I WATCHED MOVIES AND CARTOONS IN MY BED AND FELL ASLEEP LIKE YOU WOULD IF YOU WERE THE KIND OF PERSON WHO COULD "FALL ASLEEP".
SO HERE I AM.AWAKE.IN THE MORNING.I FEEL THE NEED TO REGALE MY NOCTURNAL FRIENDS WITH TALES OF THIS STRANGE AND UNKNOWN LAND."YOU'LL NEVER GUESS WHERE I WAS!","THEY HAD BAGELS! LOTS OF THEM!".I CAN PICTURE THE LOOK ON GREGG FOREMAN'S FACE WHEN I BLOW HIS MIND WITH A DESCRIPTION OF THE MORNING SUN."THE SUN? IN THE EAST YOU SAY,AND YOU EXPECT ME TO BELIEVE THIS MADNESS!?".
YES.IT'S TRUE.THE MORNING EXISTS.THERE ARE CHILDREN HERE.PEOPLE WALKING DOGS.OLD LADYS WITH SUN UMBRELLA'S.I JUST SAW A BUTTERFLY! ARE BUTTERFLIES EVEN ALLOWED ENTRANCE INTO PHILADELPHIA? WAIT...A BIRD JUST LANDED ON MY SHOULDER AND TOLD ME WHAT BILL MURRAY SAID TO SCARLETT JOHANSSON AT THE END OF LOST IN TRANSLATION.
I THINK I SHOULD LIE DOWN.

ZOMBIE VS. SHARK

FOR FANS OF THE ZOMBIE GENRE ( LIKE MYSELF ) THIS IS THE STUFF DREAMS ARE MADE OF.IT'S A SCENE FROM LUCIO FULCI'S 1980 CLASSIC,ZOMBI.WHY DON'T WE KNOW THIS MAN'S NAME? WHERE IS HIS STATUE? DID HE RECEIVE AN AWARD? THE NEXT HORROR CON I GO TO I'M TAKING UP COLLECTIONS FOR JUST THAT.HOLDING YOUR BREATH UNDERWATER IN ZOMBIE MAKEUP WHILE WRESTLING A BIG ASS SHARK AND THEN FEEDING YOUR TUNA FILLED ZOMBIE ARM TO HIM MAY BE THE SINGLE BEST THING ANY ONE PERSON HAS EVER DONE IN THE HISTORY OF ZOMBIE MOVIES OR ITALIANS OR THE WORLD.

BREAKING NEWS PHILADELPHIA!! SKINNY JEANS

IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY TIME I TRY AND READ ANYTHING (MOVIE REVIEWS,COVER STORYS,OBITUARIES) IN THE PHILADELPHIA WEEKLY I AM BOMBARDED WITH SKINNY JEANS REFERENCES. SEE,I AM A NORMAL HUMAN WHO ISN'T THREATENED BY CLOTH ON LEGS, SO I UNDERSTAND THAT DIFFERENT PEOPLE LIKE DIFFERENT THINGS.I THINK TIE DYES ARE GROSS,HOWEVER, I DON'T WORK THEM INTO EVERY CONVERSATION I HAVE AND EVERY SENTENCE I WRITE.JEANS DO NOT SPEAK.THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY INHERENT POWERS OF THEIR OWN,WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF THEY ARE JUST PANTS.LET ME REPEAT THAT.THEY- ARE- JUST -PANTS.DO YOU PEOPLE GET BONUSES FOR USING THE WORDS "SKINNY JEANS"? DO YOU HAVE WORKSHOPS ON HOW TO MAXIMIZE THE ANTI TIGHT PANTS ANGLE IN EVERY STORY? "BOB,THIS STORY ABOUT DARFUR IS GREAT BUT WHERE IS THE SKINNY JEANS ANGLE? I MEAN REALLY?!"
AT WHAT POINT DO YOU STOP WRITING ABOUT THEM? WHEN THEY ARE OUT OF STYLE? HOW FICKLE OF YOU! IF YOU WERE REAL TRENDY PANTS HATERS YOU WOULD BE WRITING A HATE PIECE ON BUGLE BOYS RIGHT NOW,SURE THAT WAS AGES AGO,BUT REMEMBER HOW INFURIATING THEY WERE!? REMEMBER HOW THEY KEPT YOU UP AT NIGHT,TOSSING AND TURNING, THINKING ABOUT THOSE DAMN SIDE POCKETS?! IT WAS LIFE ALTERING, WASN'T IT?

IN ALL SERIOUSNESS THOUGH,THANKS FOR THE FASHION UPDATE.
don't believe me?

VERSION OF THE WEEK

REMEMBER WHEN THIS SONG CAME OUT AND THERE WERE LIKE A GAZILLION REMIX'S OF IT? I KNOW, I KNOW..MOST OF THEM WERE PAINFUL.THAT'S WHY I GIVE YOU THIS DUB VERSION OF THE WHITE STRIPES FLAGSHIP BANGER, 7 NATION ARMY.IT'S A FRESH TAKE ON A GREAT SONG THAT HAD BEEN SUCKED DRY BY NOVICE TECHNO DJ'S AND SPIT BACK UP IN THE FORM OF A ZILLION BAD "MASH UPS" uhuhuHHuhh..I SHUDDER WHEN I HEAR THOSE TWO WORDS.

THIS WILL ALSO BE ON MY GOTH/DUB MIXTAPE,MIXED UNDER MY "VLAD THE INHALER" MONIKER (JUST IN CASE YOU WERE THINKING ABOUT PUTTING IT ON YOUR GOTH/DUB MIXTAPE....)
