Re: Staying in NYC when this shit hit

Many of us had no choice but to stay. If you were lucky you could get away on weekends, which is what my girlfriend and I have done thanks to her old beater car, going to a beach one day a weekend since March, far before when we’d normally have gone. Just to see the horizon, breathe fresh air and get out of, what was, really, a living hell March-May. The constant sirens blaring was the worst, a death knoll impossible to avoid. My rental apts. tiny roof became indispensable as well, for push-ups and fresh air. Thankfully the rest of the building, or those tenants who remained, didn’t seem to catch on to that. Overall it’s been a been a strange time and hard to fathom that 5 months have passed, but I have been able to create a lot at home during this duration, after an initial period of way too much drinking and tv watching. NYC is my home, where I was born, and though I need nature and try to get to it when I can (afford it), pushing through here during the apex of the pandemic is somewhat of a mark of pride all of us who remained should feel. It ain’t over yet though, not by a long shot I’m afraid. As for this who bailed or would bail on NYC? They're not real New Yorkers, sorry. They're rich, that's their City.

Anti-Mask, The Movie

Variety reports that the sequel to Mask, Anti-Mask, will not star Jim Carry, but will feature media demon Tucker Carlson in his acting debut, alongside John Voight as his mentally deranged father, Kanye West as his dunderhead best friend, and a viral actress named Karen as the love interest. There will be only non union in small roles, or, they'll be CGI’d (this hasn’t been fully determined yet as only name actors and celebrities are the concern of Hollywood). Regardless, the aforementioned “talent” will be the only people getting residuals... ever. The film's score will be a collaboration by West and Kid Rock under the name Kid West. The White House has bypassed SAG-AFTRA and approved the production, which is slated for the Fall (of the American Empire).

It's Thank You Masked Man, Not F--k You Masked Man.

Pandemic-fatigued idiots seem intent on making the pandemic even worse... smart. Newsflash: we’re ALL pandemic-fatigued, but that doesn’t mean throwing common sense and care for your fellow man, woman and child out the window does it? Wear. A. Fucking. Mask. Or, you may die or potentially kill someone else. It’s that simple. How hard is this for Americans to understand? We lead the world in cases and deaths, 2nd place is not even remotely close, yet we can’t stop our impulses to be complete and under senseless morons? Apparently not. Why wait til November this says, this country and Trump are joined at the broken hip and doomed in one way or another... or in all ways. Carry on oh selfish ones.

Curfew Cop Coronavirus Rant

Please excuse the rant, but dealt with this curfew bs Saturday night. It’s run it’s course and glad it’s over after tomorrow. All of the other major cities have ended them already. They should try enforcing mask wearing instead of this, the virus is out of control... again! Went to Bklyn in a car as, well, have barely left my apt. for 3 months and wanted to get out for a few hours, is that so horrible? Yet I couldn’t get back to the city, even though I live here and we got back got to Bridges at 7:45pm. Curfew was supposed to be 8pm, no? Cops we tried to get answers from came to window, none wearing masks, not a one, and they knew nothing. Traffic was a clusterfuck, and tunnels were closed too. Why tunnels? Are people going to march though tunnels? They’d rather people drive in circles for hours around the city til 5am or sleep in cars? Anyway, parked in Brooklyn and took subway to get home in the end. First world conplaints? Ok, perhaps, but just like this country with Coronavirus and income inequality and racism my point is there is no plan, no progress, the only plan as always seems to be to make shit up as each problem arises and make things worse it seems to keep us off our game. Why a line of police in riot gear stopping anyone from coming home on bridges? Makes me think of Trump at the borders. 2.5 hours later after being right at the bridge in Brooklyn we got home. Phone was dead and had I not thought “maybe subway is open” we would’ve been sleeping in car and the cops could give a shit, like they could give a shit about the protestors they’ve arrested and crammed together into crowded holding cells, sans masks. What was the point of this? “No looting” seems to be of paramount importance but it seems like no protesting period was the reason. That’s anti-Democracy. Nothing and nobody else was considered either. I live and pay taxes in Manhattan and I couldn’t get back home. I don’t own a car myself, happened to be in one, but what was the point of keeping people out and away from home and enforcing a curfew a half hour before it was supposed to be? Making people who have cars park far away from where they live? Lying to people, essentially. Sound familiar? So much in this country needs changing its mindboggling. It feels like there’s no one in charge, and those with some common sense haven’t enough. I’ve always given DeBlasio a flyer but man, he has no clue. The episode just made me more pissed then I already was at cops and the powers that be. Vote them all out in November, time to start anew bc this country is f’d up.

The Sound of Sirens

I haven't written a post in 2 years. 2 years. Too much has happened to state in one post. My dear, amazing father passed away 2 days after my last post and my life changed. I tied up all the loose ends to get his incredible graphic novel published and I'm working up a homemade Doc about him slowly. We have the Antichrist as President and may for life. I've been seeing an amazing girl from Uzbekistan for almost 3 years now. Twice my previous relationship record and she's a keeper. She completes me. The film I produced has been released and is killing it. We're in the midst of a Global Pandemic and, well, I've found the time to write again. Perhaps more later, but here are a few recent thoughts on the main matter at hand:  

One hundred thousand deaths. 100,000. 100k. Human life. Cherished life. People, like you and me, just trying to live their lives. So many of these deaths could have been averted, but we have a President devoid of humanity. Devoid of empathy. An Administration devoid of strategy. Devoid of leadership. And yet he golfs. And yet he shamelessly campaigns for 4 more years of our short lives to demean, divide, waste our time and conquer what's left of the truth and our threadbare Democracy. And yet he will stop at nothing to steal the upcoming election. A genocidal maniac who doesn't comprehend the tree of life and life itself. My heart breaks seeing that NY Times front page today, which Trump will call, if he hasn't already "fake news from the failing NY Times". Vote this ogre out of office and into a padded cell in a row where he must await the same fate he has carelessly and recklessly imposed on 100,000 (and counting) innocent souls.  

A video I made about the truth (or lack thereof).  

If you believe Trump took that drug you’ll believe anything. He’s lying, as he does about absolutely everything all of the time and has every single waking moment of every day 365 days a year of his entire miserable, selfish life. He’s trying to get a rise out of people and for it to rise as he’s invested in it financially. Now if did or does take it, great. Just let him croak already and spare us the agony of his hideous existence. 

The Sound of Sirens 

Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to stay up all night again 

Because a lack of vision softly creeping 

Left its greed while I wasn’t sleeping 

And the lack of vision that was planted in their brains 

Still remains

Within the sound of Sirens 

In restless dreams I walk alone 
Harrowed streets full of drones 
'Neath the halo of a hospital lamp 
I pull my mask tight to the cold and damp 
When my eyes are stabbed by the flash of a neon light 
Spit in the Covid night 
And rush the sound of Sirens  

And in the half-baked light I saw 
One hundred thousand people dead, maybe more 
People talking without masks 
Not hearing despite asked 
People gathering in throngs make choices never share 
And no one dares 
Disturb the sound of Sirens 

"Fools, " said I, "You do not know 
Sirens, like cancers, grow 
Hear Fauci’s words that he might teach you 
“Arms length 6 feet that cannot reach you"
 But his words, like virus droplets fell 
And echoed in the Hell, of Sirens 

And the people bow and pray 
To the orange god each day 
And the sign flashed out its warning 
In the wards that it was storming 
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the 
ICU walls and in their crowded halls" 
And blare in the sounds of Sirens 

* I’m fully aware that I’m not the first to parody the words of this great Simon and Garfunkel song, nor do I care, and I surely won’t be the last. I haven’t read or watched a single version of them. These just came to me this sleepless morning while the never ending Sirens blared from outside my window... 

Lastly, if you support a 2nd turbulent term of Donald Trump and his cadre of bumbling, bolshie Genocidal Kakistocrats, you may as well just go out and have your Coronavirus and eat it too. 

 “Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others...” 

-Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
