Herby

Tonight i saw my first original Herby moniker on a train. Im not sure why but it was really sad. I didnt take a picture of it, but i drew a big circle around it so that people will see it and hopefully not paint over it. The date on it was 11/16/89...so he must have been in his early 80's when he did the marking. Something neat about an old man sticking to his hobbies and doing illegal shit in a train yard, hiding from the authorities and ducking the power. I wont live to be that old, but maybe the marks i leave on trains will, and some young post apocalyptic cyber punk will see them and laugh at cats barfing on inverted crosses or whatever i decide to paint.


Also, i was already on every single car in the yard tonight, with marks from 2009. Wonder where theyve been to in the past couple of years. Guess I'm doing something right.


Earl Sweatshirt can rap.

 Waiting around for someone who might never wise up sucks. If they only knew. Come onnnnnnnn.

Compline Service at Christ Church Cathedral has become part of my Sunday routine. Boxcars in the morning, wheaties in the afternoon, Compline at night. It's very dark and ominous, and the incense makes me sneeze. Monks sing songs, and old people look wise.

I start volunteering as a 'Vision Mate' with the Canadian National Institute for the Blind. I get to read books to visually impaired folks on Friday and Saturday nights. Psyched. Still no luck volunteering with seniors. Every volunteer coordinator I speak to is convinced that I'm a PP toucher or some shit. They can't understand that a 29 year old man would rather hang out and play crib with seniors than get drunk at the Roxy with his frosted-tip homies. Dummmmb.

Art Show Fruits

Also, there is an art show that i have a couple things in. It will be at the Goods, on Broadway a block East of Main. I think its November 15th or 16th. Lots of drinks, maybe some juggalos. Some of the artists will be these dudes:

Kaput
Logan Morrison
Deuce Seven
Mock
Crums
ER

Etc.....all cool shit, all for sale, i think. I really dont know shit and I'm greened out watching The Office. Cool story bro. When i know more ill post it here.

Not a definitive off and on mechanism

Like....come on. Beyonce? How is a fool supposed to dance to some three year old, cut rate jams. Going to an already shitty bar and finding the same person working there from 3 years earlier makes a fool feel good. Being the oldest person at the bar with the exception of a washed up, desperate turd, makes a fool feel shitty. Regardless, a polka dot scarf is a tight vibe, and double denim aint bad.

Into these things: TRR, scarves from the hill-side.com, tapered sweatpants, douglas the mastiff, pearl the labrador, balentines, hamilton shirts, np, sleeping, coal, saison dupont, christ church cathedral compline service etc...

Either way, dont be a stranger.

Punks and skins. No unity.

Tonight i went swimming in the dark at Spanish Banks. It was really nice. The water was really warm and the moon was so bright i could have read Leviathan in size 12 courier. There was nobody else around but i still wore shorts, and i smoked a cigarette while floating on my back. I swam out as far as i could while still being able to get back to shore, and the water was so black it looked like ink. Im going to do the same thing tomorrow night except i might bring a pal. What a boring story.

Been reading about the idea of celebrity lately. Yay.

Listening to the petshop boys and bathory.

Drinking saison dupont.
