O.k. So, I want to stop eating tasty food that makes me happy, stop drinking alcohol (which makes me sociable), and exercise a whole lot more instead of relax before and after a mentally draining job, and focus on the more grueling parts of my fun music career.
That's my new years resolution.
Here is the problem;
There is no problem.
I will likely lose a lot of weight for health reasons, and also it makes it easier to prance around on stage as a performer. However, give up delicious rice and potatoes completely? Fuck you.
I will cut down on drinking, obviously, because when I'm drunk too many days in a row, I tend to talk too much and break things, and that's bad. But no cocktails on my birthday or at a concert? Again, fuck you.
And exercise, ah yes. I should go on morning jogs, of course. I should lift some weights after work, sure. But my boxing career (which hardly existed) is over, and I'm not joining the marines anytime soon. So, fuck you.
Working harder on promotion and recording for my music? Well, that obviously needs to improve. Fuck you anyways.
I say "Fuck you" after each bit because people always seem to set these expectations out loud, for the rest of the world. I don't do those things for you, I do them for me. So, I have decided to be a hypocrite and tell you about it anyways.
Why?
Because fuck you. That's why.

Boring, boring, format. We all get it, you're a slowly aging, out of shape, alcoholic, bitterly unsuccessful musician who hates effort.

Hahahahahaha, you got it anony-nonymous.
DeleteSounds like Punk Zen to me. And I hear a bunch of self hate in the comment section which is also music to my ears because no doubt you will simply say "Fuck you very much" and gratefully accept the negativity that their sorry bystander asses give up and convert that raw energy into amazing and compelling art. In the words of Dave Chappelle from the PopCopy skit: "Why? Cause fuck em, that's why!"
ReplyDeleteI absorb their hate like nectar. I remove the "h" and "e", which is he (or her) and add my trademark R in between. Thus, I create the art.
ReplyDeleteMuch obliged.
