Than you to the bloggers whose kind help made this possible
We're going to do... oh, just...
ALL OF THE FILMS I CAN WRITE!!!! AND SIX HOURS OF COOL RADIO A WEEK WITH ME AS ONE OF THREE!!!
With the backing of a huge internet company based here in Chicago who I will tell you about when I have all the facts in order.
I will be using my stage name, Johnny Paind... and others.
I don't want to sound like I am bragging, but I have to tell people sometime... and I just found this out a few hours ago from my good bud Peace (good buds are the best buds, as I like to say... well, I will from here on out, at least... if M. let's me).
AGAIN... I REALLY don't want to sound like a braggart, or toot that fucking horn... but at this point, nobody else is doing it.... and I do want to tell ya.. . BEFORE the official press release makes it all neat and pretty and the suits, should they exist at this place and I haven't seen one yet, haven't had a chance to shape the words... you, ebloggy, and Joe uUser are the first to know!!!!
I would literally not be doing this without this blog. That isn't what my M. calls my 'seemingly latent humility.' It's the truth, and anyone who has been watching me develop this stuff over the last couple years knows (dreaming n blue, who has paid me for my work with a signed ROBERT MITCHUM print -- we want your art on our show!! And yes, there will be Robert Mitchum stuff on the show... and yes, I still owe you a painting). My M. hates when I sound like a braggart even more than me... and you know, I prefer the writing to speak for itself, most of the time...
We even have a medical expert, a doctor, who I am interviewing about using Vaporizers when you smoke the weed, which he says knocks out 95% of the problems. I am writing an article about him, too... for a pot site I am also going to start writing for... they are even paying me, too. Weird. Again, you'll read it first. And he is the cooolest doctor, a true professional who deserves our respect and admiration for taking a stand for us smokers. He is going to take some flack for this -- LET'S BE THERE FOR HIM should the powers that be try to take him down, and they might... He is important. A doctor who is responsible in use to the 100th degree is the kind of role model the kids need now. Help me give it to them... Nothing but pot. That's going to be a t-shirt too.
This is all happening at a huge, successful internet radio station and they are going to put me
On FEARLESS RADIO...
ON THE NET, WORLDWIDE...
WE ARE
PEACE, PIPEDREAM AND PAIN...
Say it aloud and feel it on your tongue...
PEACE, PIPEDREAM AND PAIN... PEACE, PIPEDREAM AND PAIN ...or not.
Like the name? I do. I think Peace came up with it... he has some great stuff.
You guys are going to learn to love him (OR YOU CAN just, as far as I am concerned, SUCK SHIT BALLS OUT OF WHITNEY HOUSTON'S ASS!!! Whew, still can't believe old BB was digging around in there, but I would like to know if he ever needs any help...am I digressing again?), and learn about the music business from him -- if you come by . That's a big part of the show. We want to talk music business with Willy Nelson... and my dear buds Henry Rollins and Andy Dick and Paulie Shore and Dan Milano (gregg the bunny)-- who all better show up for a show or I am putting a nasty message on their myspace pages... and then we will put up our films and do radio comedy and play astute, interesting, underground Chicago Music... and much more. We all kind of live by that thing -- hire me, hire my friends... we'll talk about the virtual art gallery later, but my painter friends who have stuff to sell should take note and send me some pictures.
COMING SOON TO A TUESDAY AND THURSDAY EVENING NEAR YOU!!
Six o' clock Chicago time, to nine.... and by and by, don't worry, I am at ebloggy /joe user to stay. They have been here for me for years, and I pay my debts and will donate accordingly, as well as link them and promote them on the show.
Yea, we're going to be toking and joking on the radio and on films and .... !!! You always hear people say I CAN'T BELIEVE SOMEONE IS LETTING ME DO THIS??? I mean it.
I will tell you all about my cohorts in the next few days... right now, I am so wound up that I've been taking these really long walks with the dog, in the dead of night, to calm myself down. There is always a semblence of peace in standing by a majestic body of water like Lake Michigan, or even a little creek... you know? I decided to change my sleep patterns and start working all night, and sleeping in the morning, and getting up around two. It works for me, and I like the change from day to night person. I will be writing about this soon, probably... not now. I was partially inspired to do this by Hunter S. Thompson, though our reasons are different -- I don't drink or use anything stronger than coffee to stay up. It's fucking 2007, man!!!
I don't want to sound like a braggart... but you folk here have been there for me all the way, reading my work and laughing and encouraging me. I owe you more than I could ever repay you... though I am the type to try. All my buddies will be welcome at the shows, for free. And I want to play this out in the blog, so you can watch what a writer goes thru, and share in my successes and failures, if you want...
I am so happy...
And mom thought I was wasting my time on this weird new thing, the blog... as did a lot of other people. Can't expect people to know what they haven't been taught, and she is just starting to see the change in writing that is occuring... she is pleased with me today and that is a warm one to feel.
This is pretty big time stuff for me. I am going to have a studio at my disposal, professional people to edit my films, do my animations, work up the radi o comedy with special effects, etc... Paid professionals in a internet radio studio that is also going to produce films... with film editors, etc... to help us. I even got M. on board as a producer of my films, which are going to be a lot of green screen stuff.... and whatever else I want... Wow. Somebody fucking pinch me.
I am going to play my slapstick serial killer, Johnny Pain (mostly, believe me I will be dozens, if not hundreds of other people before this is done) on the radio station Fearless Radio... on films, radio, live shows... The Internet radio show is called Peace, Pipedream, and Pain... the Peace guy uses his real name, because he has a cool one (he is a genius musician, who started playing out in bars when he was 11, and is improv trained, like most of us on the crew -- the rest are just funny as hell as they are).
You will get all the details as it plays out... RIGHT HERE.
HOW IS THIS FOR MY FIRST T-SHIRT, WHICH, YES, WE WILL BE PUTTING UP HERE AS SOON AS THEY COME OUT...
With a cartoon of me... or a picture... we'll see.
"I love Pain."
The jock jesus with the balls as big as forever will be coming, and cartoons and... boy, we have a lot of stuff planned. I hope you guys enjoy it.
I mean it, kids... thank you. I am really hoping the stock of our tribe is rising... and that I can help out as many artists as possible, which is the way I live. There are so many cool people I want to show you who no one knows about...
Welcome to the Chicago underground. I'm getting the guest bedroom ready. I am hoping to have drop bys from all over the world. You know how to reach me...
BIG LOVE!!!!
