Hey all, it's been awhile since I rapped at ya, but I been real busy.
"I was in a men's room at one of those big gas-rest-food stops. At the urinal I saw six men pull down their zippers and pull out their cocks almost simultaneously. It was fantastic, like a firing squad, or like some kind of secret Masonic pud grab ritual. Men act differnetly in the men's room. They don't talk much, and if they do it's real loud as if to say, 'Hey, I'm not afraid to talk in the men's room!' They act very manly in the men's room lest someone think they are gay. There are no weaklings in the men's room! We are in the men's room. We have our cocks in our hands. We are urinating our way. Right. A man who is hen-pecked and owned by his wife or girlfriend transforms into a virtual bedrock of masculinity upon entering the men's room. It's a temporary club, where men, united by a need to urinate, are men." - Henry Rollins, The First Five
The above passage is great because I get a similar feeling whenever I take a piss in the bathroom at my office. No one ever actually talks, though. I'll give a "Hey, how ya doin'?" and maybe a smirk, but not in that "So, #1 or #2? Don't be stinking this place up if you're making a mess!" kind of way, more of a "Hey, I think I recognize you from that office where we both work" kind of way. I never get an audible response, just a curt head nod. One of these days I should just stride on up to a urinal right next to another dude (thus breaking Men's Room Rule #1: Always keep at least one urinal between yourself and a fellow pisser. If there is no available urinal with buffer urinals on either side, use a stall.") pull my pants/underpants to my ankles little kid-style, and then slowly back up to see how far I can get from the urinal while actually still pissing in it. I should probably wear a "Can you believe this?! I'm going for the GUSTO today!" look on my face while this is going on.
My chums in The Constitution just put the finishing touches on their new album, "Two Crowns." You can download it for free here. My favorite song is "No One Else's Sound," except for the "What the shit?!" Jimi Hendrix outro. It's a good thing I'm not one of those lastfm nerds, because I play that song over a lot but then I skip the last minute and a half, thus not registering it as a played track. Either way, download it. It's really good! Really! Except for what I mentioned. Well, and the track "Brother, Sister." But 9.5 great tracks out of 11 would be, like, 86% fresh on rottentomatoes.com, so, yeah.
So, in conclusion, pissing. And music.
Treat others how you'd like to be treated. You're beautiful. Peace!
Yours, etc.,
