[this is the introduction to the march jj krupert listing of songs I play a lot while driving back and forth to work or doing kettlebell swings in the back yard underneath the vast universe far too great
for man's microscope to ever fully comprehend]

JJ Krupert Feb 2018 number thirteen "how I feel"

[pre-traditional traditions are probably going to be the way to go; 
American history which our culture worships is 
only small part of the history; 
pre-Columbian studies available 
in the woods everywhere] 

Loosen shit, with resistance for minds like machines, 
intuition thick with (by science) unexplained 
inputs; science is a trick, as man intervenes 
in matters not his, it's justified by big-brained 
self-referential platitudes, good follows bad, 
over the edge of earth flattened by stripped minds inclined 
to engineer demise - complicated and mad 
confused as intelligence; simple mud refined 
into brick walls built as most civilized facade 
of progress and benevolence - I steal back breaks 
in mundane days to sit there scribbling down my odd 
internal banter on notecards, until time shakes 
me back into work routines, staring at flat screens...
another year alive, wondering what it means.

JJ Krupert Feb 2018 number twelve "east mcs"

[the month is gone but the heroic crown ain't done nor did I post up all 13 tracks; fuck borders, even self-made] 

Keep middle fingers wiggling in ev’ry loose brick, 
sick to my gut intuition about living 
in western decline’s doomed shadows - let it fall quick; 
people that’s been through struggle are more forgiving, 
though many days feel like barely breathing; still strive 
to strike with spark to keep heart lit like solar facts; 
choking on Yakubian tricks but still alive 
so gots to create these illegitimate acts 
of anti-heroic artistic existence; 
trapped inside digital labyrinth of zeroes 
and ones but try to create ripples with persistence - 
marginalized outsiders long been my heroes, 
breaking down walls necessary, by any means; 
loosen shit, with resistance for minds like machines.

25-Man Metaphysical Roster: Watford F.C.


[WHEN FOOTBALL WAS STILL REAL GODDAMMIT]

[25-Man Metaphysical Roster is a football dork methodology meant to establish a listing of players who have been most active for English Premier League teams in their past 100 non-friendly matches. Essentially, it is calculated by minutes played, but weighted towards most recent games. The end result is a listing of the 25 players in a team’s recent history who have had the largest hand on their metaphysical sporting trajectory. The English Premier League was chosen because it is the highest level of football played in an English speaking country, and I speak English. Also, it is what comes on TV here in the USA, where I fucking live. And yet still I should clarify I hate English, and also America. Thus maybe I hate myself. Should I not fail in maintaining my unpaid deadline, a new 25-Man Metaphysical Roster will appear on the 1st and 15th of every month.]

Still catching up, swarming through Elton John’s favorite club. Still love Troy Deeney more than almost anybody in EPL. No blurbs, beyond this.
