Currently at the “wondering if I can open a window without setting off the security system” phase of trying to get to sleep at Mom and Dad’s place because in this household there is only one way to get to heaven when you die and tonight it is by not touching the thermostat.

What this world really needs right now is a new record full of new songs by Cake. Or some covers. Either way, more Cake, please.

heart pounding irregular rhythm
against the sixty gunshots per minute of a
westclox from family dollar suspended on the floral papered wall
no longer conflicted about christmas losing its magic or meaning
cursing the duracell keeping this infernal machine breathing
newborn babe in the manger
I beseech thee
please let the benadryl I took an hour ago
kick in soon

Autumn: the sun sets earlier with every evening and day breaks just a bit later each morning. Flocks of migratory birds chitter overhead, heralding a noticeable chill on the shifting wind. The emails from Guitar Center arrive with increased frequency as Black Friday approaches.

We need to get the border collies talking with the dolphins if we are to survive as a species.

Yes, in fact, I was:
Celebrating 12 Years of Rose Queen with She Likes The Beatles from my Live at Cheatham Street Warehouse show. Were you there and singing along?

Sometimes the songs just write themselves:
Police in Kentucky say Stephanie Carlquist poured salt into the engine of her ex-boyfriend’s car, glitter in the AC vent, slashed a tire, cracked the windshield, cracked the rearview mirror & shattered the car’s radio screen.
She apologized & told him she was “stressed out.”

Write this upside down on a Post-It note, affix it to the top of your phone like a pinned tweet, and resume your scrolling:
C.S. Lewis, you never know until it matters
ALT You never know how much you really believe anything until its truth or falsehood becomes a matter of life and death to you. It is easy to say you believe a rope to be strong and sound as long as you are merely using it to cord a box. But suppose you had to hang by that rope over a precipice. Wouldn't you then first discover how much you really trusted it?

“And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp. And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome: but the noise of them that sing do I hear.”

Before the long-standing treaty that brought us every peaceful post you’ve ever seen by @sadderlizards there was a horrifying time of Great Unrest in the forest; an epoch of unholy alliance between rodent and fowl against all that was Enchanted and Good:

I see mummification and transhumanism as their own respective technological approaches toward the Tree Of Life.

“They call it Parallax- ‘lax for short. Hit the streets two years back and scrambled all sense of time and space. We got trapped between repeating timelines, each one always a few degrees out of sync from the others. BUT- one hit of this purple shit? It all starts to make sense.”

greasy hands labor
under suspended chords
hailing the savior
on syndicated radio
playing at Discount Tire
patiently awaiting the replacement
of two steel-belted radials
a faulty valve stem
and the rapture of the saints

Owl and Mouse fought together in countless battles which promised glory but yielded only ruin. Burning cottages. Broken teacups. A palor of death stained the pages of history. All but erased from canon, the horrors of these wars and its fallen heroes are all but forgotten:

Aw man, they shot John Wick’s dog. I am certain this won’t have repercussions lasting through a handful of sequels, right?
