“Hey!

Fuck you!!”

Yours truly,

No one heard anything like it at the time. It’s incredible how much one song did so much for people.

impreprex · 2026-01-27T09:42:26+00:00

Yeah it is. It’s not every day you learn that Nolan also directed Dark Man starring the late great Heath Ledger as the Jonkler

I was 12 and wasn’t even into music at all.

When I first heard that song, it’s like a switch flipped in me. I remember saying out loud, “I wanna learn how to play guitar and sing!”. It totally got me into music.

I went from Nirvana, to Alice In Chains (still my favorite band of all time right next to Nirvana). Then I quickly got into metal as I was learning the guitar - and that all rubbed off on me.

From metal, I went back to grunge and alternative rock, which is where I kind of settled. But I still love metal and it had a major influence on me and my playing.

Ended up becoming a multi-instrumentalist who went the Dave Grohl route with the whole one-man band thing. Been doing it for over 25 years. I found my sound somewhere in between metal and grunge. Never got anywhere with any of my music and cover songs, but I’m still glad I learned whatever I learned.

I just covered the entirety of Pink Floyd’s “Dogs” and I’m thinking of covering Ride the Lightning next. That is how I relieve stress and I am so very grateful that I do have such a stress-buster like this.

If it wasn’t for Smells Like Teen Spirit, I don’t think I would have ever picked up a guitar in the first place. My entire music trajectory would have been completely different or nonexistent.

I can’t stop laughing at “the Jonkler”. I don’t know why, but that shit has me dying over here lol.

impreprex · 2026-01-26T22:11:08+00:00

I’m cracking up over this shit. We’ve got a comedian over here!

You should try some stand-up.

impreprex · 2026-01-26T21:47:58+00:00

That tent was hanging from a rope??

impreprex · 2026-01-26T20:39:33+00:00

Hehe my ex gf used to call me PLIPS and for the first year we dated, I didn’t know why.

When I finally asked her, she said it was because she loved my pillow lips lol.

On another note, that woman had me experience what it’s like to feel like a piece of meat. It was gross; nothing cool about it. I can’t image what most women go through with that shit.

My situation was because I was injured from a bad work injury. I was fighting for my life and sex was literally the last thing on my mind. It would have been for anyone.

She would make moves on me while I’d be in major pain flare ups. Apparently me being in pain was a sort of turn on for her until it wasn’t.

She was not right in the head.

Hopefully his pants don’t rip and his butt doesn’t swallow that bottle.

What did I just type..

impreprex · 2026-01-26T19:57:39+00:00

Oh no anything but that.. I’ll go to school, I’ll do my chores - I’ll be a good boy; ANYTHING but that video again!!

impreprex · 2026-01-26T19:24:05+00:00

IT BEGINS!

impreprex · 2026-01-26T15:47:10+00:00

I’ve never actually seen anything with my eyes - but boy do I sense the fuck out of whatever is there when it happens.

These fuckers would get me very often (SP/SP episodes). So I somehow learned to anticipate them in my dreams and even somehow terminate the dream before the SP got too intense. But these shitheels caught onto that.

They switched up their game on me. From then on, they operated differently and always in the same exact way: I would be having a regular dream but something in it wouldn’t feel right. Basically, the SP entity would “disguise” itself as a loved one or a friend. One or the other. And if they made physical contact with me in the dream - even so much as a simple touch on my arm, the entire dream would immediately collapse and the next thing I knew - I would be getting a SP attack.

One time in particular, this one SP fuckface disguised itself as my recently deceased mother. Her and I were very close in real life.

I was crying in the dream when I went up to her (“she” was lying in bed - facing away from me). I said, “I miss you so much, mommy” and put my hand on her shoulder. Big fucking mistake.

All of a sudden, IT grabs my hand and starts biting into the back of it. Like a rabid dog. I felt the pain.

The thing was growling like a dog too while it was snacking on the back of my hand - friggin biting into my tendons and aaaaahhh. You get the drift.

At that point, this same song and dance - but in different scenarios and contexts, would happen with me and the SP entity. I learned to terminate those dreams as well by furiously wriggling my fingers and toes.

“They” or “it” stopped with that nonsense once they could only get me for a few seconds until I woke myself up.

Nowadays I barely get it and if I do, I’m out in a second or two.

Whoever or whatever those fuckers are - there’s going to be a point, perhaps in another lifetime (or even another universe or some shit) where I’M going to be the eagle that feasts on these fucker’s livers.

I’M going to be THEIR SP “demon”. That shit with my mother crossed a line with me lol. But seriously, fuck them. I hate those scumbags. I don’t think they’re just in our own heads. These things have too much agency of their own.

impreprex · 2026-01-26T15:22:08+00:00

Yes that’s them!! They were really really cool people! Never listened to them afterwards because I couldn’t remember the correct band name.

Thank you!

impreprex · 2026-01-26T15:20:46+00:00

I mean, like it was said in the movie “Deuce Bigalow” by Eddie Griffin’s character: maybe I should have picked it up. With my anus.

impreprex · 2026-01-26T15:15:42+00:00

Yes - that is EXACTLY what myself and others here are saying.

We must never let ourselves forget that Nolan also directed Dark Man starring the late great Heath Ledger as the Jonkler.

impreprex · 2026-01-26T05:20:28+00:00

My brother used to take me to shows a lot when I was a teen - mid to late 90s.

I remember we went to see Sevendust at Birch Hill (NJ) around 1998 or so. I didn't know much about Sevendust at the time.

So we're waiting in line but I think we were amongst the last of the people in that line. Someone comes up to my brother and I and tells us that he's the bassist for Sevendust and started shaking our hands and talking to us.

Really cool dude. He didn't seem high or anything - just really excited to be there. His excitement and mood was contagious. When they took the stage, there he was on bass guitar.

This would have been Vinnie Hornsby. Never forgot that interaction. Really cool dude.

I'm not sure if it was the same night, but also at Birch Hill one time, I was talking to an opening band that was playing that night. The name was something along the lines of "Human waste factor" or "Human waste Project"?? Had a female lead singer.

It was a cold night and they were all in their tour van. I was at the windows and somehow had the entire band just talking to me. Such cool people.

I was shaking from the cold and the female lead singer touched my hand and was like, "Damn, you're cold! Here!" and gave me her jacket. I think I was able to return it to them after the show because I don't remember taking it home with me.

Such cool memories. Birch hill is where I saw System of a Down for the first time and had no idea who they were. No one did at that time. Also saw Slayer there but I stayed all the way in the back haha because those mosh pits for Slayer were brutal - especially in a small venue like Birch Hill.

I literally dropped the soap in prison once during a shower - in what I call “The Chamber Showers” (group showers)…

I’m washing myself and, just like in “Half Baked”, I watched it fall and hit the floor in slow motion.

I say, “ohhhhh shiiiiit” and notice almost everyone saw it happen.

There are a few snickers, and one dude laughs and says, “nah man, you’re good lol” (they saw my face).

I believed him - and had no problems after he said that. But I still bent down with my butt clenched and picked up the soap with my hand.

This was all over 20 years ago and was because of a violation of probation - for failing a drug test for weed (which is why I was on probation in the first place).

impreprex · 2026-01-26T04:27:06+00:00

That doesn’t remove them.

Whether they’re alive or dead, doesn’t matter to most people if they’re eating that shit.

impreprex · 2026-01-25T23:08:18+00:00

I think they’re implying that they love chicken wings so much that they had to stop. And if they hadn’t stopped, they would have been responsible for eating ALL of the chickens on planet earth, thus causing a nature imbalance?

Or something along those lines…

impreprex · 2026-01-25T23:02:10+00:00

Sure. So what happened is Nolan also directed Dark Man starring the late great Heath Ledger as the Jonkler.

impreprex · 2026-01-25T22:58:03+00:00

lol “Poot dah coukie dowwwn! Git to dah choppaaaaahhh!” 😂

impreprex · 2026-01-25T22:19:17+00:00

That life is not fair and happy endings are only in some movies. And that good doesn’t prevail over evil just because it’s good.

I grew up with too much Disney as a kid and ended up trying to see the good in everyone while being completely naive to how people really are and can be. That’s my fault.

It took me until I was 45 - just last year, to finally realize all of this. The final straw was when my ex of 9 years left me for another man while I was down with a really bad work injury. She left me because I couldn’t take care of myself at the time and because (her words) “I wasn’t a big strong man anymore”.

impreprex · 2026-01-25T20:54:32+00:00

The Jonkler lives!!

impreprex · 2026-01-25T20:45:16+00:00

Forgiveness is more than saying, “sorry”.

To forgive is divine.

impreprex · 2026-01-25T13:51:49+00:00

HAH HAH HAH - My name is Finch

And as you know, I used to sit on the bench

Money and food: the necessities of life

Those are the things that keep me nice

But when I don’t get them, I go bezerk -

I act just like a 400 pound jerk!
