It’s Time I Had Some Time Alone
As you all know by now, Friday December 21 was the end of the world. I was hoping to post this earlier but you would be surprised how busy I have been since the world ended. I’ve been going nearly non stop. Shit, imagine how busy I would have been had the world not ended? Wow. I shutter to think of how tired I would be by now. Damn. But nevertheless, somebody showed me this picture on Friday of a newspaper headline:
This newspaper cover reminds me of the old REM song “It’s The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)” which of course has Michael Stipe as the lead singer. I was excited to see that the articles in the paper featured an interview with Stipe who is nothing if not the worlds foremost expert on feeling fine in spite of the fact that it is the end of the world as we know it. And what is so amazing is that so much of the end of the world on Friday featured much of what was in the song, at least the first few lines. At least that is what the paper said. I don’t know, outside of this newspaper headline I did not follow much of the news over the weekend; as I mentioned I was busy. So if anybody knows how the world ended up ending, please fill me in. Sure the headline gives a lot of info, but it just seems like they left a lot out. I mean what about Leonard Bernstein, Leonid Breshnev, and Lester Bangs? Sure, they offer me solutions, offer me alternatives, and I decline. Oh wait. I got it! You! Symbiotic? Patriotic? Ohhhhh I know I know!!! Slam book neck! Right? Right?
