Chasing Windmills

I am no good at poetry,
I always try to rhyme.
And while not flawed inherently,
It often seems contrived.
I have no ruler for my measures-
It was a poor election year.
And my counts have all absconded
Leaving all but baron here.
I’m a curator within this castle
To hang imagery on the walls
But with no structure
I say, “Fuck, sir,”
“I can’t grab a cow by it’s balls.”

Occupy: The Musical is getting produced next Spring.
I don’t really have anything else to say other than I’m glad I can’t regret the amount of hours I’ve poured into the project.

Submitted! We’ll all here the fate on Wednesday. Arrangement is currently pretty basic and we hope to have it touched up eventually, but we needed something to slap vocals to, so here we are.

Ad hominem is only a fallacy when it’s being used as an argument. If someone’s just using expletives and insults to punctuate their points, they’re not succumbing to fallacy, you fuck.

seabound.: I don’t know shit about gun control. I don’t trust any of the facts... I don’t know shit about gun control. I don’t trust any of the facts and figures because I’m pretty sure all of them are skewed in the direction that the people or companies behind them want them to be skewed. But I will say one thing.
If I see someone pull out a gun with the intent to shoot me or…
an “armed public”
doesnt mean
“forcefully arm everyone”You’re afraid of guns, ok, that’s perfectly fine. But i’m not and i’m trained to use them.
so shut the hell up and stop trying to take away MY rights because YOU dont like them.
getting REALLY sick of the mentality of gun control idiots. “I dont like it, therefore YOU shouldnt have it” or “The government should handle everything”
The government is NOT your nanny. and avalost I am NOT necessairly targeting you with all of this angry shit i’m posting, your post just kinda ignited it and for THAT I apologize.
The problem, sweetheart, is that we’re not arguing about a joint or the ability to jack off. Your ‘rights’ don’t supersede the commonwealth’s aspiration of safety.
I hear a shit ton of defense for guns and have to deal with them on a daily basis because the exports of the Midwest are cows, 2nd amendment nuts, and latent racism. All of them boil down to this:
1. The Founding Fathers entrusted us the ability to bear arms.
And Thomas Jefferson beat women and enslaved the children of his rapes. Who gives a shit.
2. Weapons provide defense against intruders.
This is bullshit, but let me explain why:
Kids are stupid:

People shouldn’t be making life-or-death decisions off limited info.

3. Guns are fun.
Buy a goddamn Gameboy.
4. What if the government tries to oppress us?
Then you resist and wake up in a torture camp on an unmarked island because this is America and we haven’t fought a war since the 1940’s.arrivederci

The truth of comedy
Comedy is inevitably offensive- it plays against audience expectation. But the difference between good and evil in the comedy universe is that when you’re being offensive to champion a cause, you don’t use ‘just kidding’ as an excuse.
When you use ‘just kidding,’ you’re acknowledging that what you’re saying is cruel, and that it also doesn’t have purpose.
Don’t be that guy.

Well its 3am
I couldn’t go to sleep after studying so I decided to write. I still need a chorus though.
Well you may be wonderin
Who am I?
Well my ACT’s
Like my BMI
(Which is really… unflattering, no matter how you interpret that)
See I find I speak in moral contortions
Like a fetus caught in mid-abortion
Like a guy named Heimlich beginning to choke
Or Like an environmentalist blowing smoke.. y the bear.
See I think the war on drugs
Needs to be a war on tugs
I think our masturbation nation
Is turning people to thugs.
And a bill might be drafted,
But Biden would scoff
Say “Gee Obama, I don’t know how we’ll pull this one off.”
I don’t mean to be crude
So ignore what I say
Cause if life is surreal
I’m just a Monet.
If life was black tie
I’m probably in jeans
If life was a nude beach
I’m probably… not invited
See, I have no skills besides this thing
And it’s that lack of self-esteem that gets me to sing.
