Man I just heard the awesomely funny and always profound”What do you do with a Drunken Sailor?”Shane Fucking MacGowan people!!!! OH this guy…a living miracle.More saturated with booze and drugs than even Keith Richards-just not quite as long. I think when he does finally go, he should be sainted,and im definitely goin to start a petition and then address the The Pope . He will resist,but if the world demands that Shane MacGowan be awarded Sainthood ,and compels him to like… conference call with the Holy Trinity ,i think this could happen….Those three are hard to catch together at one time,but I think once the words out that its concerning Shane Macgowan,theyll come in to have a summit about this matter…Everyone knows God loves The Pogues.I was seriously fucked up earlier and listening to the man just really makes me smile.Usually I choose to pile on the angst with like…Radiohead or the indomitably miserable (genius)Morrissey…something guaranteed to inflame the sadness,like.Thats how I usually do-im a shameless wallow-er and frankly ,a gifted basker (I might’ve mentioned this before,but I could compete professionally in the self- destructive art of self- pity) but its not just drama for the sake of drama…I try to push it to a mini psychotic break point, so I can get it out and reset,so to speak. Like Electro shock therapy,but with extreme narcissism and strategic repeat listening of “Mad World” instead of th blast of electricity….) Not tonight,though:) I advise anyone who might need a lift in spirits to listen to The Pogues. Its extremely effective.

Thanks for the heads-up misanthrope. I find much I can relate to in your post. I love the Smiths and Radiohead (or I did when I listened to music) and am a ‘gifted basker and wallower’ too, lol.
Human misery to me is like a warm bubble bath. At times it’s the only thing that makes sense. Probably why I like SP so much.
Oh,good!Thanks for identifying with th music and th wallowing-it helps to hear that. Now THATS an awesome description-Misery,to me, is like a warm bubble bath..LoL. It really is very comforting to ruminate over the crimes,the wreckage of my past,the loneliness(oh,its verrrry deep,this sort of desolation ) and the love lost,my sentence of isolation and emotional banishment..Its my fricking identity now and I dont know how to operate without it now! Making fun of myself though is pretty entertaining.If only it could be converted to lyrical genius like Morrissey did it-its so unfair! Instead of something funny or awesomely sad or a vicious but witty character assassination,I produce something more along the same level as the offending screeching whine a mosquito makes when trying to enter your ear canal 🙂 My old NA sponser had a funny way of describing the wallowing-she said Ok-so youre having trouble letting go ,and like to pore over the past pains.Youre like a kitty in a dirty litterbox just digging and rearranging the shit you made!Stop touching it,and step away from the box..or she’d liken it to a poopy diaper-lol-i took it off,got cleaned up,refreshed,and then for no good reason went back through the trash,recovered it,and put it back on..She was pretty hilarious. The envisioning of these ideas did give me pause ,and I could certainly see her point.She was working with me through the 12steps. Anyway,youre a dear Seppuku 🙂
