The irony is how really not wild I am these days. But maybe you can at least see the gleam in the eye of a former wildman. #microsong
It’s a microsong Halloween special! No treats for me, thanks: I’m saving my appetite to feast on your flesh BWAHAHA #microsong #halloween
After Ozzy died (RIP) I did a deep dive, first into Ozzy’s entire catalog, but then into Black Sabbath’s as well. And I gotta say, by the late 80s, Sabbath got pretty dumb. But those sub-par songs inspired this ode, so no regrets! Thanks for the delicious carbs, Satan #microsong #blacksabbath
Nothing to see here, folks – just a perfectly normal time in American history! Pay no mind to troops deployed to our cities, weaponization of the Justice Department, muzzling of free speech; we’re fine. That said, I could sure use a vacation from the Land of the “Free” …
After a long hiatus, I return – with less hair! I begin my reboot with this earnest microsong about struggling. So many of us are these days. I offer this song with compassion for everyone, whatever they’re going through. Don’t worry about me – I struggle too, but I’m okay. It’s good to be back.
For anyone really concerned about the use of nuclear weapons, I’m just gonna leave this here.
After a hiatus of … a while, I’m back! This wan little ditty is, on a literal level, about how small we are in a vast universe; but on an emotional level, it’s also about feeling lonely sometimes. Give a like if you feel like a Far Star sometimes too. #microsong
That’s All, Folks! Today is my last day at WB 😢 It’s been great to be (back) here, but alas, I’m a contract player and my contract has elapsed. Perhaps I’ll return again someday! But good news, I’ve got a hot prospect coming right up! More on that as it materializes …
Don’t get me wrong: nobody in the world needs psychological help more than Palestinians. But I think what they really need is to be free. To my Israeli friends: I want peace for you too, but you’ve got to give it to get it. #freepalestine #microsong
It wasn’t even that spicy. Yet another disappointment #firstworldproblems #microsong
I made some flyers that a motivated person could, in theory, print, cut out, and put on Teslas in their neighborhood. Or they can make a better version of this. Whatever drives this company into the ground is good by me. Just doing my part ✊
Holy crap, it’s Lily’s 14th birthday! 🎂🥳🎉🎈🐶 Happy Birthday, my little Bipple Bee 🐝 You mean so much to me. How much? Surely enough to get your own In n Out burger 💕
I don’t usually come up with microsongs in direct response to current events, but this one just hit me like a flash so I had to go with it. Zelenskyy wasn’t rude, they cooked that up as a pretext to stop helping Ukraine because Trump is afraid of Putin. Pathetic. #standwithukraine #microsong
That was a good protest. I didn’t take any pics or video — just marched with this sign, which was a hit. #buildtheresistance #50501movement #fiftyfiftyone
Joined a little protest right here in my neighborhood! @repbradsherman.bsky.social we’re just downstairs here 😜 #resist
Got my ass out of the house for a minute. Will I do karaoke tonight? Probably 😏
At Psycho Dick’s, don’t let the low prices fool you. You will pay in other ways. Unfortunately, much of the world is now being run by Psycho Dicks. #capitalismkills #microsong
When you’re on hold for a long time, you’re often forced to listen to the same crappy song over and over again. This one is just me adding lyrics to one of those crappy songs. #microsong
Somehow, I managed to resist, but … it’s like they’re begging to get ding dong dashed
I’m impulse buying these donuts because life is short … so why not make it a little shorter? 😏
Every day last week, before lunch, Lily and I visited this green space just a few blocks from my mom’s house in Phoenix. I would meditate, while Lily rolled in the grass, and sniffed around — her form of meditation 🕉️ It was nice.
Stick a fork in 2024, it’s done. That was kind of a rough year! And I have concerns about the New Year, as well. That said, I have a lot to be grateful for: family, friends, a steady job, my sweet dog Lily. Now let’s get ready to Fuck Everything in 2025! #microsong
Just in time for Winter Solstice, it’s … this. What is it, exactly? Seems like I should know, I wrote it … this one’s weird, even by microsong standards. But like a piece of grapefruit pulp stuck in my teeth, somehow it keeps lingering around. #microsong
