Existential Dissonance V
December 13, 2014 by at 4:21 pm
A nod to Kierkegaard and Walker Percy: existentialist tomfoolery, political satire, literary homage, word mongering, a year-round summer reading club, Dylanesque music bits, apocalyptic marianism, poetry, fiction, meta-porn, a prisoner work-release program.

Yeah, alone would be better for sure. Anything is better than sharing it with a bunch of people who are not me.
Should I share it with Bob…why the heck not!
What I said to Mrs Bully after discovering that 5 year-old’s ballet recital would be second to last on the program: “these people sure make you wait.”
Nice … but he wasn’t really alone. He had Bob and the band during the performance, and before and after he had a hot psykologist to talk about the experience with. And of course millions and millions of YouTube viewers, nigh unto the end of time.
No, alone is staying up until 4AM watching YouTube videos of your favorite musicicians, eating Doritoes and drinking vodka martinis, all the while congratulating yourself because you’re not watching porn. And not even telling your shrink about it. That’s alone.
Heh.
I can do one better – replace “watching porn” with “watching yesteryear games by the NY Football Giants.” THAT’S alone – at least in Wisconsin – at least with a wife who cares as much for football as for camel breeding in Morocco…
Hut. Hut. Hike.
JOB
Whoops.
Heh. Coming down. Heh heh.
H-huh huh huh…
