Bumper Sticker Subtext

This is what your bumper-sticker is NOT stating in the form of a snappy, memorable quip.

[Think Globally, Act Typically]

[.. and therefore I’m morally and ethically superior to all of (you)]

[God Bless America (and to hell with those other jokers)]

[Passive Aggressive Driver]

[Though purchasing this sticker was the extent of my action on this issue]

[Keep Santa Cruz (Wealthy/White)]

[They were passing out these stickers in front of Trader Joes]

[My other car is (that electric wheelchair at the grocery store)]

[Vote out of subconscious fear of dark-skinned minorities ‘08]

[Everyone should do what I think. And I think a lot. Really.]

[And We Complain More..]

[Metallica! (What up, Class of ’89?!)]

[My kid’s an honor student (and put this sticker on my car without asking)]

[Driver actually believes that (you) will change]

[Desperate attempt to be indie-cool]

[Vote to piss off my parents in ’08.. (Unless I’m hung-over)]

[Small Penis!]

I'm sorry.

This blog has been ignored for so long that I'm sure no one even bothers checking anymore. And you know, i deserve that. I've been a lousy blogger. Nearly-a/Over-a year has passed since i freed up the few minutes it takes to pass on even a good word to those of you who take would be kind enough to take the time to read it. It's a selfish and miserable thing that I've done. I have nothing in the way of excuses other than the bewilderment of a mind still heavy from trekking through a mire of joblessness and self doubt.

I've been not-laboring under the assumption that, "if [i don't] have something nice to say, then [I] shouldn't say anything at all". It's a sign of good upbringing, and my get-along-a'tude has never been better for it. Still, it doesn't pay to never bother saying anything at all. so fuck that noise, I'm going to recklessly reclaim this space and spit the truth for the emptiness to bear. {-The audience is now DeF-}

I can't promise that I won't do the same thing all over again, but the fact that I've cleared the room is more than enough reason for me to just sing to myself and fill the void.
