  • We should start feeding all the dead bodies to sharks.

    The oceans would have so many sharks.

    Sharks, as far as the eye can see. Ah. What a world that would be.

    Hammerhead sharks. Nurse sharks. Great white sharks. Reef sharks. So many sharks.

    Edit:

    SHARKS!

    Sharks?

    Where?

    They’re over here and over there, in fact they’re everywhere!

    They’re in the rivers in the sea, why there’s sharks! Sharks! As far as the eye can so. Oh what a world that would be.

    But Fred, I don’t see any sharks around, this might be in your head. Are confused? Are you concussed? Have you been fooled? Is this a ruse? Fred? Fred!?

    They haven’t been born yet Mark, but look around this lovely park, it’s full of old ones, covered in gold bond, they’re not long for this earth, and then what is their worth?

    Mark, mark, just think about the people in this park, their walkers gone without a song to sing with mouths or hearts. Should we bury them in stinking earth or burn them in Fort Worth?

    There’s one solution that I see, it’s sharks, and mankind’s future’s there in shimmering seas.

    When it’s my time to depart this earth, my body’s lost its only worth, so wait until the night is dark and throw me to the sharks.

    The sharks, the sharks, they’ll feed on human flesh and breed and choke the rivers and the seas, this I ask my dearest Fred, that you do when I’m dead, the shark, the sharks, that’s the burial for me.




  • Anyone feel to correct me if k get any of this wrong, but punk as a genre evolved primarily in a cosmopolitan London ( unsure how much other English cities contributed - someone else can comment) where working class locals and immigrants from countries from across the British empire that had immigrated to London brought their local music with them - first wave aka, reggae, rock and roll, dub(?) all influenced young working class londoners and influenced the development of punk which was firmly rooted in class consciousness, a diy ethos, and rebellion against the rigid classist system of post war England.

    Everything you’re talking about came later.

    You might not necessarily hear the musical influence of some of these genres in the first punk bands that became well known, but the cultural impact of fans of these genres of music was integral to the development of a punk rock ethos that embraced working class solidarity, rebellion against authority, and diy.



  • It’s the damndest thing.

    When you work on yourself, like yourself, and invest in your interests, women are more attracted to you.

    Like. The easiest way to trick people into liking you is to be a good person. And then one day you’re like: hey, I can’t believe this is working, tenting your fingers, and you can’t think of anything you’ve done in a decade that you hate yourself for and you’re like: holy shit, AM I a good person?
