one time i did uppers with this guy that had worked in a mine most of his life. dude rarely saw the sun from ages 16 to about 40, so the guy was pale as a fucking sheet and looked about 25 when in actuality he was at most 43 (i never asked; you shouldnt either). he told me “aboot” dropping acid in a Starbucks in Winnipeg and how the experience became an almost David Lynch-ian non-principle; that “the animal within a cage is no longer a beast, and that the animal must be set free”. or something. i was like Rick James high when he told me all this.
but then we walked back into the bar and there was this asian broad singing “Come Sail Away”. i will not advocate drug use but i will totally advocate drug use if you are in the habit of doing so with ageless almost spectral miners from Manitoba and korean law students drunk on life and Styx keyboard solos. because that is America. i dont know what your teacher told you in grade school about a bunch of white dudes with wigs and Cameo leggings; she was wrong and you have been lied to. America is founded on an underlying belief that we are all good, there is a right and a wrong, and there are to be no gray areas.
however, its when you start wading through the gray areas, though - in the soup of it - that the landscape becomes more clear, and you can see this place for what it really is: it’s actually a pretty rad country where the sane people just keep a lot quieter than the idiots. people are allowed free speech and should be encouraged not to get along but to disagree because the dissonance and the ability to converse with one another without violence truly is - i guess - what America is sort of about, if you get down to brass tacks. which is why hippies are full of shit, too, but thats a whole other blog entry.
apologies for the lack of wakka-wakkas in this post. maybe i had to do a lot of drugs outside a dive bar in East Hollywood with a Canadian miner to realize how much i love this country. but anyways, happy 4th of july.

sometimes we get some shit for “putting women on unobtainable, unrealistic pedestals”.
this is totally true, and here is an example of one such pedestal.

Boner Party mention on Gawker.
well that’s nice of them, isnt it?
THE BONER PARTY BOOK AND WHAT IT COULD MEAN FOR AMERICA:


so, you’re Johnny or Jane Decision Maker and you’re a big boy/girl that can make your own decisions. and ok, fair enough. you want to buy some drugs. you should be fully aware that you - under no circumstances - should be in the habit of purchasing drugs until you can pay or your own rent. that is: the biggest lesson i could tell any of you young cats out there. its just not worth it. if you’re still worried about grades, or what Suzy BigEyes or Timmy McGreatConversation might think about you: you should not be doing drugs. its just not worth it.
that little green fucker Yoda was obviously bullshit because he got it the wrong way around: with great responsibility comes great power. and i mean honestly, who does acid anymore?
lets go through a handful:
POT: yeah, dude. smoke pot. i dont care if you’re Mandy Moore in that one movie and you’re the presidents daughter; everyone could use a little bit of pot. its not a gateway drug: the only gateway it leads to is eating more doritos and wondering what your hands are there for. and pot only makes those anti-pot ads even more hilarious. shit, those things MAKE me want to smoke pot. do they really think we’re that stupid? yeah, some people can’t handle pot or drugs at all, but those people also really like Eminem and Disturbed and live in flyover states that no-one thinks twice about until our little cheiftans decide to get really mad about whatever and goes and shoots a gun, basically ruining drugs for anyone and everyone.
COCAINE: cocaine is the the 10%’ers out there who “want to make a point” about “something” but they haven’t figured out the “something” part and just go off on this vaguely romantic Rebel Without A Cause Nor Effect bullshit. because if you’re spending $60 on a baggie of white powder the size of your thumb, you’re obviously stupid enough to realize that you could have saved $47 by buying five cans of Red Bull and drinking them really fast. its pretty much the same effect, i hate to tell you. unless of course Journey is playing, or you just happen to be in Paris in the mid 90’s. the thing about blow is it has such a mystique but it turns you into such a fucking asshole. remember the gay room-mate that every time you were over at your girls house he wouldn’t shut up about Six Feet Under? well now imagine that guy is you and you’re talking about blow. it makes you that level of annoying. now stop it. they call it “blow” because you can “blow” your whole rent payment in a three day period. now just put it down and leave the bathroom stall. i dont care if you live in New York. if youre doing coke in New York that’s twice as worse because you’re “that guy” now, you’re the guy that orders a steak at the seafood restaurant. no, i can hear you disagreeing with me already. fuck you. you’re wrong. i’m right. coke is only cool when you’re hanging out with Van Halen or winning the lottery. just because its a Wednesday night and youre in the L.E.S doesn’t mean you should be shoveling that shit up your nose like a hungry hungry hippo, brosephine baker.
CRACK COCAINE: sure, dude. why the hell not. i mean, you made it all the way out to the traintracks and made some new friends, right?
HEROIN: are you fucking serious? are you fucking retarded? nice one, Johnny DecisionMaker. chances are doing “The H” is going to turn you into a human personification of Every Character In The Boondock Saints At Once. and that movie sucked so much balls that Jenna Jameson and two of my ex girlfriends got jealous, because they suck a lot of balls. like, a truckload of balls, backing up, beep beep beep. dont be that guy.
ACID: you don’t need acid. and acid doesn’t need you. the only people that “need” acid are late night radio dj’s and people that really, really, really hate their dad. i know the cool dude who smokes unfiltered cigs and has a beard keeps saying that acid changed him but it only really changed him from your run-of-the-mill The Swans fan into your run-of-the-mill neighborhood guy that knows where to buy roofies at any given hour. same beard, though. funny how those things work out.
OPIUM: i dont know, Oscar. are you a chinese guy from the 18th century? then you should not be doing opium. opium is like “perma pot” and should best be avoided unless you’ve got every season of The Simpsons and don’t feel like doing anything for the next three days.
METH: yeah, dude. do some meth. it gives you RAD cheekbones for TWO WEEKS. its all downhill from there, but do you want those cheekbones? i bet you do. sucks about the whole “no teeth” thing. BUT THOSE CHEEKBONES! c’est magnifique. fetch me my sketchpad and my still camera because i feel a Larry Clark moment coming on.
CRAISINS: those shits are addictive. surely this is a nationwide epidemic.
ECSTASY: ok. first off, fuck you. and fuck everything about you. i’m sorry, but go back to 1998 with that shit. and take off those JNCO’s. and the candy necklace. and the ‘happy hardcore’ cd anthonlogy. ecstasy is for bored college girls with too much time on their hands. and any dude that does it seriously needs like a pound of beef jerky, a shit ton of water, and a good talking to. “it makes you happy”. so does a pizza, dude. just order a pizza. i swear to god you’ll look less of a retard dancing around a pizza than you will dancing around in a warehouse with a bunch of people that look like they got kicked out of a Manson family reunion.
SALIVIA: what is this? Scrabble? that shit sounds like a boss in Mortal Kombat. can i beat it? oh its a drug? are you fucking serious? how old are you? go get a job. look, heres a copy of ‘On The Road’ and a pat on the back, kiddo.
WHIPPITS: its all fun and games until you break into the Starbucks at 3am.
COMPUTER CLEARNER / INHALANTS: DID YOU SEE THAT FUCKING EPISODE OF A&E’s INTERVENTION? THAT SHIT FUCKS YOU UP. straight up fucking turns you into “Mommie Dearest” turned to 11. totally not worth it. yeah thats a great idea: freeze your brain or turn blind. nice one.
ALCOHOL: oh, alcohol is a drug. do you seriously think - that in your heart of hearts - that you’d have gone home with a Tori Amos fan OUT OF CHOICE?

conclusion: big surprise, Boner Party advocates pot use. and honey bear bongs, which can be used not only for their intended purpose but can also be used as interesting decoration throughout the house! think about it. think about it. think about it some more. now stop thinking about it.


if you smoke enough pot and put Aladdin on mute and then put on the Ying Yang twins, then this song becomes this song. and then you dont have to do anything for the rest of the weekend because you’ve clearly won at life and are one empty space away from winning at Life Bingo.
now all you have to do now is fingerbang an Olsen twin and then you raise your hand, yell “bingo!”, and then you die in a flurry of awesome. this is all true, by the way. do you know how easy a Heath Ledger joke would have been right there? but i didn’t say it. nope. i just thought it.
To answer your questions, yes, I am currently working on a time travel machine, and yes, I plan on using it solely to return to the time and place where this picture was taken. (via)
christ its like the Boner Mafia.
Boner Party will miss 80’s nostalgia. i don’t think we got enough of it. everyone just got hung up on legwarmers for a hot minute and then Miami Vice. we totally missed those slap bracelets, LA Lights, and wearing bandadas.
when the fuck is American Apparel going to bring back those shorts? leggings are for housewives and little girls and people who buy Greatest Hits albums.
LIVEBLOGGING REWATCHING JOAN OSBORNE’S 1996 VIDEO FOR “ONE OF US” AFTER NOT HAVING SEEN IT FOR ABOUT 13 YEARS.
0:01-0:15 - what the fuck is that?
0:39 - OH FUCK. THOSE DRUMS, DUDE. that sound means you KNOW you’re in business.
0:47 - oh damn. thats the nose ring. dude i totally had a mad boner for this back in the day. it was like I JUST WANT TO BE UNDERSTOOD, MAN. the 90’s were so fucking angsty. jesus. what did we have to be angsty about? we just got through 8 years of Bush and the best we could do was that sheep voiced dude from nebraska that just ended up dating Winona Ryder anyway.
0:57 - I’VE ABANDONED MY BOY.
1:10 - what IF god was one of us, Joan? fuck. you’ve got me all thinking about deep shit. totally harshing my buzz, dude.
1:31 - i totally had a crush on this chick on this visit to Sacramento back in the day who i totally thought looked like joan osborne because she had curly hair and a nose ring. if there just happens to be a girl out there reading this who remembers this fat kid from the bay area with a bowl haircut asking her what her name is you should totally step forward.
1:49 - oh i get it. theres a concept to this video. huh. fancy that.
2:05 - i bet that chick in Sacramento still has that nosering. nose rings are fucking heinous.
2:30 - damn she really means it.
2:32 - get it girl. shit. this is some good weed.
2:40 - wolfing some cookies.
2:54 - have you ever actually talked to someone on the bus? like a big city bus? if god was one of those people someone should ask god why he wont turn his nextel speakerphone off on his phone while rides public transit. theres always that one dude. that one fucking guy.
3:15 - i’d still totally do her in this video. that shit is hot. i’m sorry. when the 20 year retro cycle comes back around on 1996 i’m going to be well ahead of the curve and already be “totally into electronica” and “dating babes who do yoga and go to slam poetry events”.
3:28 - LISTEN TO THIS FUCKING GUITAR SOLO. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE 90’S SOUNDED LIKE.
3:50 - motherfucking break down right here. this is where a rapper would say something like “yeah dats right” or “uhhhgn”. white people can’t do that. we’re really bad at that sort of thing.
4:27 - sorry i’ve been singing along for this whole time. this song has so much feeling it makes my feelings feel feelings.
4:44 - and so it ends. i want that song to go on forever. what a fucking jam. that shit makes me want to drive a stickshift and wear polo shirts.

getting knocked up has to be a pretty raw deal. not only can could we as a couple not afford to eat for two, we’d be immediately forced to resort to eating for three. and there are only so many hot pockets in a packet, baby. you are the weakest link.
that being said it would be pretty rad to name a baby “Batman” or “All You Haters”. ‘cause then me and the missus would just get really baked and say things like “ALL YOU HATERS GO TO YOUR ROOM” or “BATMAN EAT YOUR PEAS GODDAMIT” or something because no-one in their right mind should have a kid if they still think skinny jeans are a good idea.
fuck, we’d probably name him “Plus One” just so we could get into shows for free. wait. thats a brilliant idea.

i cant decide what i like more. the fact that kristen stewart dresses like the ultimate “lets hang out” babe or the fact that she went partying with dakota fanning the other night.
i mean honestly. who goes out partying with dakota fanning? thats badass.
