Paraphilia Magazine now available

Hey folks,
Paraphilia Magazine #1 is now available at www.paraphiliamagazine.com I've skimmed through it and have to say, it's fucking awesome. The first issue blew away any expectations I had. Please check it out. It's available as a free download so you have no excuses. Great work Dave and Dire and others.

Some disclosure - while I have a short story in this issue, I'm not acting as a shill. Honestly, this is a great introduction to some alternate/alternative ideas and artists.

Not my proudest moment

I once shit myself in public

It’s true. I was nearing the end of a successful night of drinking when the bar closed and there was the promise of another late night venue to continue the festivities. I went to relieve myself in an alley. As I was in a hurry, I tried to force the issue and … well … I REALLY did not expect THAT to happen.

While I stood there, pissing, warm shit in my pants, scenarios buzzed through my head. Since it was winter and I was wearing layers – underwear, long underwear, pants, - I decided that I would let this play out. I had places to go and hopefully people to meet.

So like a trooper, I went with it. Through a cab ride, a walk around the city searching for a place I increasingly realized did not exist, and a long cab ride back to the apartment. I did not do anything sooner about the situation because I did not want to let on what had happened. Preferring to sit and walk around in my own filth than to reveal this secret.

Good times.

All Avant-Garde All the Time

I just rediscovered Ubuweb after forgetting about it for a couple of years. If you don’t know about it already, Ubuweb is a huge archive of avant-garde material; everything from L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E to Fluxus to Sound Poetry to on and on. It’s hard to articulate the scope of the site unless you check it out yourself, as in RIGHT NOW!

www.ubu.com

My goal is to work through as much of the site as I can before December 31 2009. Or before I go insane. Whichever comes first.

A New Height of Christmas Cheer

Away in a Manger, Asshole!

I just came across a little celebration of Christmas cheer I recorded in 1998 called Away in a Manger, Asshole! . I wanted to upload it for this holiday season but it is on cassette tape and I do not have the tools or the know-how. I will do a 2009 version, when I have some time …

That's it. Nothing really. Just a little teaser. So Happy Fucking Holidays, I guess.

Another Douchebag Moment

Douchebag moment #2

Making fun of a guy’s dead mother.

I got on a roll with the Yo Momma jokes. As I hit my stride, I remembered that she had died two months previously.

Fuck me, I used to drink a lot, okay?!

Sorcery Tracks Performance by Jerry Schroeder

Are you in my dream or am I in yours?

This brilliant performance/invocation/initiation explores the fragile nature of "reality" and "self" by taking us through the Magickal universe to the abyss. Question : Are you still the same person you were before this experience?

This performance took place at Pointless Hysteria on June 10, 2000 as part of a larger production, Diorama of an Ape. The video presents only highlights of a longer set. 

BTW, I make a small appearance as blond guy on couch. My big break!

Human conditioning -

Routine is a form of metaprogramming.

A Douchebag Moment

Regrets. Man, I have regrets. If I could, I would take back this lapse of judgment into assholism.

Douchebag moment #1

Ridiculing an emotionally disturbed woman in my high school French class ... in front of the class. 

[I though I was a comedian and boy, did I kill.]

 Stay Gold

Welcome to my Chinese Democracy. It's been almost three years to the day. Finally, something is happening around here. But not right now. I just need to clean up some things in post. Then ...

Onward, the future.

Coming soon - another avenue for banality + boredom

Stay tuned - this blog should be set up by the new year. Nihilism + humour =

Propaganda before Truth!
Conspiracy before Politics!
Excrement before Aesthetics!

In the mean time, check out my web site at www.opsonicindex.org, which should be updated by the new year as well.
