id like to begin by saying that youre hot and if i was 89 years younger i would have stolen you away from your man at the concert
HAHAHAHA…you are too cute…older men are sexy tony…dont you know that??
then im super sexy cuz im super olde so did you like Stiff you can be honest
i loved it…read it twice and could read it 100 times more
ahahaha good
im not a big reader and find that a lot of books bore the hell out of me...but i just fell in love with stiff
ok
thanks
what did you like so much about it, i will make sure to do it again
humm...i just found the whole story really interesting...the whole idea of you dying and all these things that happened to you...wasnt what i expected...it was bizzare but in a way totally believeable
great
well i wrote those stories during my 15 minute government mandated breaks at work
i had just been transfered to a new department at E! and i knew id be fired
so i was scared
i was also scared that i wouldnt have any time to blog at work because it was a really busy department
and i thought i would hate the job
so i just said fuck it, i will die
why kurt
im an old man
when i was your age kurt was just coming up
and i was on college radio
so i was really close to grunge and all that
i saw him come and go
similarily im extremely religious
so i always feared that he wouldnt get to go to Heaven since he killed himself
so i wanted to show somehow that he wasnt in Hell
i liked that you did that...its nice to know that kurt could be in heaven...
so you are extremely religious...catholic or christian?
i was raised catholic but as soon as i finished reading the Bible all the way through for the first time, i was all wtf
there was no mention of popes
or nuns
or confession
or priests being celebate
reading the bible made me believe that Catholicism is a joke
so i became simply Christian
ive never read the whole bible...but sometimes i question being catholic...it sometimes seems sketchy to me
the only reason i liked going to Catholic church was it was like a For Dummies experience
you knelt when they told you to
you stood when they told you to
but there was no soul there
i was happy to be in a church, but there was no magic feeling going through the ritual
when i was in college i wanted more
i totally agree with you
sometimes i feel as if i only go b/c i have done so since i was born...but not beacuse i actually want to be there
i think its ok to go, but i still havent found a church that is what i want it to be
maybe i have to make my own
but it would be boring
we would just talk alot about the bible
and sing bob dylan songs
hahah that would be a pretty sweet church
when my mom read your book...she didnt know if you were actually making fun of catholics or if you were one
i dont think its fair to make fun of peoples faith
but in ridiculing the Catholics, im dissing the church, not thebeliefs
the structure, the anti-biblical behavior, not the root which is Jesus is God
im totally on the same page as you
good lets make out
haha...ok
in the book you mention the xbi...what is that?
when i first started writing the busblog i didnt want people to know that i worked at E!
so i told them that i worked for an undercover agency that was a cross between the cia and the fbi
and because the busblog could be true, maybe i still work there
the xbi are rejects from the marines and the fbi
but they still want to fight crime
my job was to work at a communications base
thus, a tv network was assigned to me
i also flew a helicopter
chopper one
but the problem with the xbi was there were a lot of bad apples there
because we made our money by stealing from the criminals
so if you heard about cops "finding 100 bags of cocaine"
odds are there were 150 bags
and the xbi took their cut
so the early days of the busblog is about me in that struggle of trying to be good but in this corrupt organization
which is why i rode the bus
because i didnt want to flaunt my riches
since they were ill gotten
wow...thats crazy...never knew that
i might re-release Blook, the first book from the busblog
because a lot of people are like you, new to the busblog
many older readers dont like that i dont talk about the xbi
but i stopped because too many people said they hated the xbi stories since they thought they were fake
i was all,ok...
which is why i love Stiff because right when you think its not about the xbi i fucking get you in the end
and explain that allof this was really the very begining of it
your sosmart...that was cleaver to add it in stiff
how did y ou come up with the regret throne?
E! stressed me out to no end
i shaved my hair there
i gained 15 pounds
and my only escape from my horrible boss was either blogging or going to the bathroom
so when i came out of the bathroom i thought about the regret throne
and as a recovering Catholic i have many things to feel guilty about and to regret
so all of that came very naturally
why do you think thats you are going to hell tho?
many reasons
i love porn
i love "devil music"
i hate a lot of people
when im in relationships i can turn into a bad boy
which can be sexy for the right girls
but i dont think thats what God wants
who knows
and i feel like im a huge slacker
which is why i identify with the GenX deal
and i think God hates that
yea but we all have these tendencies...so does that mean we are all going to hell???
im sure you have done lots of good stuff in your life
ive done Some good stuff
like i think im a good blogger, and i think God likes that part of me
but i think He looks down and winces and says, fucking Awe gave him all these talents and this is all hes gonna do with it?
im pretty sure im supposed to be a preacher
but no way could i do that full time
in a perfect world id have 8 wives and direct porn
haha
but you are a preacher in a way
you wrote stiff and its about religion
and you are talking to me about it
yes, thats why i would sing dylan songs in my church
if you listen to Saved
or Shot of Love
or Infidels
dylan is able to be spiritual without being heavy handed
i think thats the trick of any form of communication
particularily the tricky subject of Jesus
sooo true
i personally dont like people a that are all preachy and praise the lord every 5 seconds...like those tv shows or when they have services on tv
thats just not what i like...but i think when you can be spiritual in a respective way but not heavy handed as you mentioned then that is perfect
like johnny cash
i love johnny
i love johnny
did you like any of the poems, or should i have kept those out?
no i did like them
great
the best virgin marys was my fav
that was about jeanine
whos that
let me show you
ok
jeanine was super shy in college
she worked at the newspaper with all my friends
she was new, had super long hair
extremely shy
so we had a few dates, they turned out horrible
then one day she came over to give me guitar lessons because i had given up on her romantically but i knew she could play guitar
when she started playing she opened up
and i saw her heart
two weeks later i gave her two hits of lsd
a huge 6 foot bong load
nitrous oxide
and beer
it dazed her long enough for me to kiss her
we lasted two years
aww thats so cute...you guys totally look cute
shes mostly italian
shes totally cute
she was cute then, shes super sexy now
i love her hair
totally
chris...you talk about him in the book...you give him everything
chris is a girl
she was my longest girlfriend
and in many ways my soul mate
funny thing about soul mates, they dont always end up being naked with you every night
life is weird
why didnt you ever marry any of them?
they never said yes
i asked them every day
dozens of times a day
i think God wanted me to make out with young girls from all over the world, maybe
who knows
haha maybe!
how come the chicks in hell look like men
Good Question!!!!
mostly cuz its Hell and youre not supposed to be happy
or turned on
youre supposed to be miserable, technically
so you cant have like sexy nurses in high heels clomping around
thus, ugly mannish women
my mom thinks it was b.c you were questioning your sexuality
nah
my sexuality was pretty well covered during my fall from heaven to hell
when the two angels quiz me as im falling
demanding that i was gay
insisting
im the most ungay man alive
heres how you know someones not gay
ask them if they would do fat chicks
or ugly chicks
or sorority girls
its like fat people LOVE food of all sorts
similarily non gay men Love women of all sorts
its the dudes who only make out with runway models who are probably secretly gay
so you would make out with anyone
i could
why not
i would eat anything at mcdonalds too
i love people
people can be crazy
just another reason to love them
why do people in hell wear burberry
i love burberry
i dont remember that part
what page are you on?
107
ah
burberry is fine in moderation
but a whole square block of people all wearing that is a horrible sight
but the plaid...its so beautiful
im clearly obsessed with it
about 20 of my friends all went to spain during the milenium
1/1/00
no one told me that it was fucking freezing in madrid in january
so i needed a scarf and gloves
the spanish had cool burberry scarves
they hadnt hit america yet
i was sold
but Chris, who i was just about to break up with said, no thats gay
thats for girls
but i thought on a man in a black leather coat it would look super slick
so i liked it
but if everyones wearing it, it would get gross
yea i guess thats true...same thing does for those stupid louis vitton bags
i want that pattern for my car interior
thats gonna be some expensive car interior
counterfeit patterns are cheap
i love that you had kurt singing tsar tunes...i was waiting to see if you would write about them
kurt would love tsar
do youhave band girls money?
i went to buy it at a&b sound a couple weeks back but they didnt have it
tsar has the worst luck
i could probably order it from them
i should check that out
(ebay)
will do
ok one poem question and then to bed
ok
fuck
whats it about
fuck is in there?
yes it is
i have the worst memory
haha
fuck was written the day after a wild acid trip
have you done acid?
nope
shrooms?
nope
well if you ever do, do it in the woods
with friends
stay away from cars
and cops
ok...i'll mental note that
anyways
when i was on it i was always trying to find The Answer
everything meant things
everything was super symbolic
there needed to be an end to every thought
which is ironic because that goes against the nature of acid
your thoughts reeeeeeeeeallly wander
but at the end of the trip in the morning we were still awake
and the sun was rising
and it all made sense
i was sitting on those cliffs
its so beautiful
its unreal
and yes, the answer was
fuuuuuuuuuuuck
excellent
you live in a beautiful place
lived
that is isla vista
just north of santa barbara
YOU live in a beautiful place
it is amazing here
i fell in love with vancouver
and i didnt even get to smoke the weed
i know
its hard not to fall in love with this place
