It’s Saturday morning. I have missed capoeira practice because of last night’s asinine behavior.  I’m sitting in front of the tv watching the VH1 Top 20 Countdown. Adam Lambert is doing his Mad Hatter / Mad Max / wood nymph thing.

My friend says to me, “Is this the video that makes us suspect that music itself might have dementia?” Then he says something about the structuralist utterance out of the void. Fuck, this music really is bad. It’s not just that I’m getting old, is it?

This same house guest, I just discovered, was responsible for this bathroom poetics when it originally read “SUCK IT.”
