“ Ouija Board
Would you work for me?
I have got to say
‘Hello’ to an old friend
Ouija Board, Ouija Board, Ouija Board
Would you work for me?
I have got to get through
To a good friend
Well she has now gone
From this unhappy planet
With all the carnivores
And the destructors on it
Ouija Board, Ouija Board, Ouija Board
Would you help me?
Because I still do feel
So horribly lonely
Would you, Ouija Board
Would you, Ouija Board
Would you help me?
And I just can’t find
My place in this world
Well she has now gone
From this unhappy planet
With all the carnivores
And the destructors on it
Oh hear my voice
(Hear my voice)
Oh hear my voice
(Hear my voice)
Hear my voice
(Hear my voice, my voice)
Hear my voice
(Voice)
Table is rumbling
The table is rumbling
The glass is moving
No I was not pushing that time, it spells
S T E V E N
The table is rumbling
The glass is moving
No I was not pushing that time
P U S H O double F
Well she has now gone
From this unhappy planet
With all the carnivores
And the destructors on it ”

Tatt-ered “Cø††øn” and Cottonmouth Kisses
September 21, 2011 by Clint Catalyst · 3 Comments
I†† [ eye doublecross ] is not just a band;
they’re “a low-fi hypersigil, casting spells in various mediums .”
[CUE EXAGGERATED SHRUG]
Cool by me, brah.
Though when I discovered the basis for “Cø††øN”—
the latest single the duo conjured & released into the world
was [quote] “influenced by [ my book ] Cottonmouth Kisses” ?
Well, the excitement level racheted a bit Richter,
not gonna lie. . .
Then, upon hearing the track?
That’s when the really good news occurred.
I like it.

As in : I mean —
I really, really like it.
No need to elaborate, nor to “re-visit”. . .
but we’ve all had at least one friend whose
band/stand-up comedy act/spoken word performance —
[ thought I'd keep the playing field fair ]
Y E A H .
You get it/You get it/You get it
Amidst the deafening silence & painful anecdotes that aren’t being shared at this moment,
here’s what is :

. . . & them ♥

Ah, but you know I’ve gotta ‘get on up in’
this GIFtastic action!

Also, two other ways in which this obstinate child of mine
continues to make its mark upon the world
[ however great or small that may be ] :
Eleven years since the effer premiered in print, yet not till this turn around the calendar—
Two Thousand Eleven A.D.—is when a song about it was inked,
so to speak. . .

Ditto, these two lovely ladies :
ßiteMe ßlair from Concord, CA
[ Rockin' it legit, all up close & O.G. on the detail . . .yeah, that's how it is ]
As well as
Miss Melinda Wainright of New South Wales,
Australia
[ preliminary sketch, before ‘the needle & the damage done’ ]
&
Ta-da! — The outcome.

If you’re not able to read the quotation obscured by my likeness?
That strand of syllables won’t be found among the pages of Cottonmouth Kisses,
but rather within the Degeneracy: A Love Letter project —
which I’m hereby placing ‘on the market’
ISO some serious match-making. . .
Said another way? Prospective publishers, literary agents, &/or
friends/kins/neighbors of the aforementioned?
Where there’s an interest, I have a manuscript.
Let’s talk.

Just freakin’ my geek with

Hell, who knows—one of these days I might join the ranks

and obtain/learn Photoshop

Until then, however?

Tumblr Reciprocation : Life Beyond The “68-&-Owe-One” Mentality
May 24, 2011 by Clint Catalyst · 1 Comment
Oh, sweetness. Is it too much to fathom, the thought of dipping into the population?
This business with the little people—you know, your “followers”. . .
Can you simply Not. Be. Bothered?
Excluding the rare exception [ namely, bashin' my dash with—well, content I don't want to encourage;
hence, the deliberate omission], I don’t understand why a person wouldn’t “follow back.” Granted,
I’m still a novice in the grand scheme of tumblrification, but I don’t know of a means by which
one can tell how many “followers” a person has. . .nor do I care to, quite frankly.
I mean, MySpace has gone down the shitter—it doesn’t even have a name anymore;
that’s how far removed it is from social relevance.
Didn’t the myopic Don’t-You-Know-How-Many-”Friends”-I-Have mindset accompany it?
[ Seriously? But SERIOUSLY ]
It’s rudimentary, my take on this sitch:
the primary function of tumblr’s dashboard [ or "feed" ] is that of an open dialogue, a continuous conversation
in which anyone from the 200 countries scattered around this curious planet we inhabit
has a unique opportunity [ so long as there's internet access, though that's a given—
I might as well be telling you it gets dark at night. . . ]
Because tumblr’s predominant means of communication is by way of a visual vocabulary, the opportunity
of which I speak is the ability for an individual to participate in the site’s ostensibly endless discussion
without the usual complications 6,800 different languages present.
Sure, music is a ‘universal language’; we’re familiar with the adage, most of us.
In the case of tumblr, however,
the ability to upload videos & mp3s further validates my premise/rationale, rather than dilutes it.
[ She's So Happening, via ThreeFrames.net ]
So : short of the long? Yeah, I follow back.
I also acknowledge that the sum of one’s “followers” does not deify.
[ Icarus much? I'd mutter Give Me A Break, but we have our day in the sun : each & every. . . ]
Oh, & when I attend a potluck dinner?
I don’t only eat the dish I brought.

GIF It To Me! [ Princess Hijab & Other Animated Awesomesaucery ]
May 1, 2011 by Clint Catalyst · 2 Comments
As A Kid, I Often Said I Wished I Could Speak In Hieroglyphics
How rad it would be, I thought
[ though—since the timeline I'm referencing is circa rural Arkansas—
quite likely not verbatim, my choice of vernacular ]
If I could “talk with pictures”: fancy symbols—except
not carved in stone, but rather contained
in word bubbles,
like in a comic strip . . .
Y E A H .
A funny thing, time : cycles : that
symbol of the serpent swallowing its tail
All these years later, & where do I find myself?
Obsessed with animated .gifs, for fuck’s sake—&
yearning to communicate through means of a visual vocabulary.
I mean, let’s face it…does this gem excavated-from-the-uncredited-swag-on-imgur
not speak volumes?
Or how about this for a response?
[ Source: Sex With God : tumblr ]
& this flash-tastic action? Is it worth the proverbial thousand words?
Or does it have no value, since you’re such a worldly, highly-experienced Millennial?
[ So tough, the inured existence of a Trustafarian on tumblr, oui? ]
Hasty generalizations & snide jabs swept aside like unpaid internships, corporeal punishment,
or any scenario in which Unique, Special Beings aren’t coddled—even & especially
if [ HARMPH! ] “so-o-o bored.”
Sure : sometimes animated awesomesauce does get served with syllables & consonants…
For example: this little ditty by Seacrestcheadle, which—if Facefail permitted such forms of communication—
I would’ve plastered many moons ago on the ‘Wall’ of my pal Ugly Shyla ♥ [ because yeah, She 'Gets It ']
Alas! Seacrestcheadle isn’t why I’ve chosen to “get bloggy” this fine day
[ though worthy a post of his own, indeed! ]
Au contraire, I’ve intended to post about the following individual
for quite some time now, & finally: here we are—&
here the moment is…
If by chance you’re not familiar with the guerilla art of
Then please consider this a formal invitation to become acquainted, your
introduction by way of brief video clip [ courtesy : Babelgum ]
Admitted : at times the six-minute doc plays w-a-y-y-y Richter in the histrionics department
[ not to imply I don't—my guess is that producers urged Hijab to "ratchet up the drama"
for the cameras ] : to “raise the stakes,” ”show the element of danger,” “provide some
conflict”…as if the visual assaults she orchestrates aren’t confrontational enough.
However, to be fair [ I mean : gauche much, Mary? I'm only using their content! ]
I could be making excuses for the artist, when she’s portrayed exactly as she is.
O.K.!
Now that you have a bit of background info, I don’t feel as if I’m doing a dis-service by
sharing ‘only’ the digital art she creates.
Y’see, aside from recalcitrant acts of Hijabization,
the Princess constructs some friggin’ amazing GIFs; must admit.
& since ultimately, that’s what I’m ‘on about’ today
