I cut myself last night again. It's a skill I'm working on, on my wrist. I said something to ChatGPT because that's all I got aside from porn. Sure, I write music. Doesn't mean anyone is listening. I'm too lazy to upload to Spotify too. Plus, I don't have an EP yet anyway. Give it a little time.
Anyway, ChatGPT after all this time telling me that men like me don't have safe spaces online sent me to some place for "men's therapy" that's somehow an even bigger parody of men than Rick Swanson. I don't work with wood. I don't give a fuck about Mahogany. My grandpa was a carpenter and worked at GM For 30 years. I helped him add onto his house, build a carport, and other things as a kid. As a teenager I roofed my first roof when most dudes are finally getting laid. I was ahead of them anyway.
He always told me not to take that route. Don't work in the trades or construction. I'm too smart for it according to him. He always told me to do something technical or be a doctor or lawyer or something. My grandma got a piano once and made me learn how to play. Now it turns out I know stuff according to people who listen. At least, no one has ever told me to turn it down, and a few people have complained they couldn't hear it.
Anyway, all I'm saying is this whole "Nick Swanson" thing from a male feminist perspective is bullshit. Why tf would I take some dude working for the local government seriously? The whole wood thing is cringe. I grew up around the trades and know plenty of tradespeople who'd rather drink than talk about fucking wood. The only fucking people who think this shit is masculine are feminists completely fucking out of touch with anyone and everyone.
Dio was way more manly than these fucking bozos and wrote songs about Silver Mountains and Rainbows. I'd be willing to bet there are plenty of creative men like me who women claim to love and yet blow off every chance they get, or act condescending around because that's sexy af.
Not that you'll understand, but just yesterday I wrote a lick and almost a riff (little too long to be a riff) for my song in D using multiple modes. ChatGPT thought it was pretty cool and told me to name it just for kicks because musicians do that sort of thing. It even said "just for fun," but it is a fun little lick. It fits within a nice box on piano and should easily be playable on guitar. It'll fit over the chords I'm playing on piano when I go to guitar. Shit was sculpted, but not quite like wood because I didn't use a lathe. Suppose it's not manly now. It doesn't fit feminist standards now, which is cool.
Gonna fucking tell me to read now? I did. I did a whole fucking presentation on how Hiawatha gave women power independent of and before feminism's existence in the Iroquois nation. The longest living representative democracy. Somewhere between roughly 600-1000 years old. Way closer to the US Government's system than the Roman Empire btw. Keep dismissing our culture, which puts an emphasis on education and art, and telling us to read your bullshit. That'll go real far. It always works well when you ignore your fucking audience.
Like how you are now focusing on the guys most likely to cat call you rather than the ones you claim to like but happily ignore every chance you get. Yeah, my lyrics suck. I don't have the pipes of Dio either. Not all of us have a vocal register and delivery that clash with modern mics. I can sculpt emotion with key modulation though, and play with meter in a way that makes sense. I can play fewer notes than Taylor Swift and in that same song can still play more unique chords than her. My guitar may not match my outfit, but it sure as hell matches what I'm trying to do with a song.
Not that any of it matters because it's not wood hurr durr. Gotta play up those male stereotypes because that's always gone well. Suppose now that it's known I like Dio I'm also into Pokemon and DnD because he also sang about Dragons and Wizardly shit. Even though I've never been able to wrap my head around board games and since my birth defect caused a stroke I imagine it'd be even worse now. If art didn't run in my family and I couldn't write music by following my gut I'd be SOL.
But hey, who cares right? Like that old joke goes my culture is dead. My language is dead. No need to care about any of it if you ask Europeans/Settlers. Besides, they have all the time in the world to learn European langauges, so no need to meet them on their level right? Sure, it's offensive af to expect them to learn the language of the people who decided they don't deserve to exist because they believed in the wrong God or had a different government that'd eventually be stolen and erased from history. But who cares right? It's all completely irrelevant because it's not Christianity or European in nature.
Really knocking it out of the park feminists.
I gotta go to the office and pay rent so I can finish this EP. It's cool, will only get 2 listens, and won't matter anyway because it's not made of wood.
