Sinister: Do Something Witty While You Can.......

[Jason McKinnon]

Dear Sinners,

I have seen lonely streets walking along whilst I stand still.

Sick.

Of this. Of that. Trying to be it.

Rock stars are born and can't be made into anything else.

But what do budding rock stars do when faced with money deficiencies in 
their early careers?

Hmmm.....Here's a bit of content for once:

One of the main reasons I like Belle and Sebastian is because I am a 
musician of a similar stripe. And they (being who they are and where they 
are from) aren't doing so bad. They give me hope that I too can once fulfill 
my destiny to be a social deviant on a grand scale. (This isn't 
megalomania....it is just that I have no other decernible talents) Thinking, 
drinking, writing, playing and singing....more thinking. These are things I 
have mastery over.

Things I don't have any idea how to accomplish:

1)Any kind of work (in the conventional sense)
2)social interaction that doesnt end with someone wanting to freak out or 
worship me.
3)Coming off as anything but way too fabulous/avant-garde to be trusted with 
any kind of work that pays worth a shite.

You may say "O Pickle Prince.....why must you care so much about material 
things when you espouse such existential, crowleyan, and pseudo-zen 
buddhist/discordian thinking?"

Answer: I live in San Francisco.

The rents here are higher than in Manhattan. Right now....SF is one of the 
most expensive places to live in the US.

But hey...i do love it here. But is this worth it?

I don't know.

Yeah...I know.

I'm a whiny bitch.

But....damn it! I want to do something pretty while I can.

The Pickle Prince
