SYMPTOM OF THE UNIVERSE

existential dread, subjective media and news reviews and opinionated but not necessarily well-informed commentary.

Last night I had a dream about returning to my second home; Ann Arbor MI. It would seem geography in my dreams has a common thread; everything looks something like Mineola for no apparent reason.
At some point Tom appeared playing drums (Which Tom has been known to do from time to time) with Aldo; I have no idea what Aldo's last name is or why he appeared, I only know he is from some former Soviet satellite state that spells "restaurant" with several "P's", anyway he and Tom were struggling to fit in the same denim jacket when they knocked themselves unconscious, instantaneously Steve Buscemi walked in the room and I began to tell him it was a shame Tom and Aldo were now down for the count as Tom would have loved to speak with him. (Incidentally Tom was now donned in a wig and sporting a false mustache to look like Aldo and both were still in the jacket.)
Without missing a beat Buscemi answered "Is it like one head thinks and the other one talks?" In his very deadpan observatory way.
I awoke before I could invite him to Zingermans for a samich...

Sometime it feels as though the authoring of my dreams by outsourced imps.

    That was quite a dream Jimmy -

    I believe the appearance of Aldo was an architype for all dudes with moustaches and also represented a less responsible time in our lives where our concerns were rooted in the pursuit of gratifying the senses repeatedly... As for me sharing a denim jacket, it stirs up images of Rosy Greer with the honkey's head attached to him. Ann Arbor made an appearance for two reasons, the first again being the representation of escape and free choice, unhampered by obligation and secondly, because it is so brutally cold out yesterday and today, one could only compare it to Michigan weather.

    Zingermans' represents being hung over and eating gigantic sandwiches that could feed a family of four whilst sucking down copious amount of coffee and eating pickles and the nuclear gas eruption that will undoubtedly result within the hour.

    but at any point in time, did the rock band sponge come in and make martinis in exchange for poker playing knowledge? or was it the other way around? was fois gras served? agent cooper wants to know

    Sponge! Ah yes, I remember them ass-hoze fondly. The lead singer seemed to take offence when I told him Tom Waits' "Going out West" was not that obscure when Sponge recorded it for one of those "De'troit Rocks" comp-o-lations, aside from the fact that no one can deliver a line like "I got hair on mah chest! I look good witdout a shoit!" like Mr. Renfield, you can't front on that.
    I think Salon did a story years ago about how to tell about someone you date by their CD collection. If you had the second Sponge album, it meant you must be a member of Sponge as no one bought that felch.

    honestly though, why the hell would you cover a song based on it's relative obscurity. that doesn't make it good. it just gives you the illusion of street cred. dats boo-sheeit
