and if the party has a bard

if i roll up to a punk show and someone’s jacket says fuckin “CABBAGE” across the back, that is immediately my favorite person in the building

Which was the fashion at the time.

The person I’ve started seeing from Hinge in recent days told me that the biggest reason she rolled with my profile was because I seemed like I was “relatively normal” and not a techbro or finance bro. Apparently this is prevalent enough around here that for someone who’s not into it, a profile that features a dad joke about the members of punk and metal bands standing really far apart because “your band width determines your speed,” offers “Live Without at an abandoned Denny’s in Houston” as an option for a past event to time travel to, and lists “worker ownership of the means of production” as a “simple pleasure” qualifies you as “normal.”

But hey, that in turn means I’m not attracting the kinds of girls who go for techbros, which I see as an absolute win.

Yeah, the accent will change in the time it takes to get to the next village.

take me to snurch (snail church)

Fuckin do it, Elon. Double dog dare ya.

It could be better. I’m in the Bay Area, which has some areas that are cool and some areas that are not so cool. And my workplace is in one of the areas that is not cool, by which I mean rich, heavily suburbanized, relatively conservative, and like six miles from the nearest Bart station. And in order to make biking there remotely feasible, I have to live over the hill from Oakland, where nothing cool happens. If I had had the good sense to apply to one of my employer’s locations in a place that wasn’t a massive fucking pain in the ass to get to, I’d be having a much better time right now.

I ride my gravel bike anywhere from 5 to 25 miles before work, depending on how early I get out the door and whether or not my bike is broken. 1. I get around by bike, so the 5 is the bare minimum and 25 is for when I get out the door with two hours to spare and can really get down and dirty with some dirt, and 2. I literally broke my crankset on Thursday while trail riding before work.

Weirdly, off the bike, the latte describes me the best, right down to the unexpected tattoo, but I actually drink water most frequently.

since he was 14?

my full name is o co

Also, the very next line in Hey There Delilah is “I’d walk to you if I had no other way.”

In terms of pianos and keyboards, maybe, but those also aren’t overlooked, they’re broadly considered among the best you can get. They own Bosendorfer now too, btw. Drums are just fuckin expensive in general, and most drummers I think you’ll talk to are generally aware of them along with the likes of Pearl and DW.

You might be talking about guitars and basses, which would be fair, most people don’t associate Yamaha with guitars and basses. The thing is, the most expensive non-signature Pacifica currently in production is like $750 and comes with Duncan pickups and a Wilkinson trem. And even the Revstars, which are out of my price range, come in quite a ways under comparable Gibsons.

thanks, that’s my band name now

i also have no kids or desire for kids, and not much of this, other than being able to sleep

weirdly, this meme has a way of coming across my feed every time i am short on the stuff
