News 03 / 2010 So
my homepage is back after eons of meaningless sacrifice to the evil SEO
needs of XFBS7 (The Xangles- Frangles- Blorkk- Squish7- conglomerate).
Apparently having ingenius art that surpasses all the artistic
mediums of all the existences of blah blah blah blah doesn't
translate into actual website hits, so they figured why not throw
up a site map on my main page and minimize my own stuff to a little
itsy box at the top of the page. When I signed up for all this I
didn't quite catch the fine print, "relinquishes all attatchments to
property and eternal soul". But anyway, it's all back, everything
that's always been here, except for three (precisely three) major changes: 1. The Squish7.com main logo to the upper left is now white text on black rather than black text on white. 2. Everything's arranged in slightly different places, except the bulk of the material which is exactly where it always was. 3. There's an annoying little text box that I only stuck there for lack of anything else to do with the space. 4. There's a numerical inconsistency in one of the paragraphs on this page.
I
pretty much rambled ad nauseum last month about everything going on
with me, so you can basically just parse that for anything at all
relevent or informative. Suffice to say the majority of my time
nowadays is spent writing for Frangles, and obsessively practicing
acoustic youtube covers. Please oh pleeease email me some lesson
requests at youtube@squish7.com
so I have something else to do besides bonk pop rhythms in morse code
on my head with my guitar Tranq! =) (You can email me normally at
my name (that's Squish) followed by an 'at' symbol (i.e. @) and then
the name of this domain (squish7.com). [SEO bots stink]) =(
Oh,
we'll be starting up Lexington ultimate frisbee pickup (MA) pretty soon
(year 13, wow), so if you're in Mass and like running around come join
in on the fun. Guess that's it. Remember you can follow my
most active day-to-day stuff on: frangles.com/updates
News 02 / 2010
WHERE THE F*** IS SQUISH?
It's been about (over, actually <hide>) four months since my last
Squish7 news update. I say "Squish7" update because I've been very
active and hard at work on Frangles, a fresh, bold new innovate fractal
nonline!@#$%!!I CAN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE GOD@#$INGDAMMIT Can I say
dammit? My Frangles pals aren't watching, are they? Mwuhaha! Dammit
to hell and fuck you all! Fuck Frangles, fuck boston, and fuck
Scituate! I know, that's not very Squishy language, and I'm probably
already fired, but remember, as a comedian I've always been about
balance between ki ddie-friendliness and obscenity. The obscenity
always sold like forty billion times better, but as a decent human
being as well as one with a growing general audience (approaching five
now, up from four from last year) for my lovely youtube videos and
guitar lessons of all ages (not the guitar lessons, the fans), I'm
afraid that my Abercrombie & Fitch / Bestiality webpage may be the
crudest I may ever get to be in this lifetime. (Unless, of course, I'm
living several lifetimes simultaneously, and how the hell would you
know if I was. Figure that one out.) You can consider the
relationship between my kiddie-friendliness to public crudeness the
ratio between the dolphin-huggy film Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
and the deleted scene where Arthur, Ford, and Zaphod break through the
door with Marvin's arm and scream, "DO PANIC, MOTHERFUCKERS". Maybe
that's me behind the scenes of Frangles, which seems to saturate my
life now. Or at least my free time. which brings me to another point,
what the hell am I doing now, anyway?
Well, for starters, I have a friendly little parakeet next door who
goes "CHEERP!" every few seconds from 6am to 10 at night that's doing
wonders for my aspiring career as a live-at-home novelist. No, really,
because it's so annoying that the annoyingness bends right back around
infinity and lands back at friendly entertainment, for the monsterous
irony of landing not just in a cliche annoying-bird-out-the-window
novelist setting but cliche above and beyond imaginable even for this
cliche setting, is so extraordinary that the sheer irony of it lands
the bird back at friendly gain, as if it's chirping "Infinite literary
irony... CHEERP... Infinite literary irony... CHEERP!" which is, as I
said, quite inspiring as an aspiring novelist. Hence I hold to my
initial claim of a friendly... CHEERP... parakeet next door.
K, what else... well, what NOT else I should say, as four months is
quite a long time in the life of a schizophrenic bipolar manic
depressewhatever whateverwhatever for whom even a simple walk by a rose
brings me back to all the billions of past lifetimes I spent as a rose,
good or bad... or tragic... or extatic... or nightmarish... (Err, how
can a lifetime as a rose be nightmarish? Maybe if you're a rose on the
sidewalk of a satanic goth bathhouse in a side alley in the ghetto..??
Unless you're a black rose, in which case you'd be pretty
appropriate... except for the basic fact of you being ANY kind of
flower at all, in which case you'd probably do better as a flower in a
greenhouse or florist's mall stand, where the comment "How ironic, a
black rose amongst such color" would probably be above the comment "How
ironic, a rose in the middle of our fucking ghetto/goth/bathhouse club"
in desirability. Where was this going again?? Oh yah, right, my ADHD
meds are better than everlong song I'm working on, one of my favorite
songs ever written called "Foo Fighters", or was that the band and
"Everlong" was the song; I don't know seeing how I've developed
dyslexia, anorexia, anasthlexia, computer vision syndrome, pigment
dispersion syndrome, factual relation upheaval syndrome,
asphyxiationia, irritible bowel syndrome, hemmroids, amnesia, dementia,
alzheimers, cataracts, paraplegia.. (Or at least a couple of those,
anyway (if any). I'll let you decide which. (Turning old stinks.
Nutsy people like me usually have shorter lifespans than your average
person so at 30 I'm probably half way to death, which means it's just
closer and closer from here. Not too bad if you incorporate Xeno's
paradox actually, or a higher dimensional escape to Emerald City when
the heat death of the universe rolls around...wait am I in a fucking
TRIPLE parenthetical (Ok that was either contrived for comedic shock
value or my ADHD is just really that bad, i'm bad, really really bad...
oh yah I was really sad at Michael Jackson's death but that's really
more an issue for outside this now-QUADRUPLE fucking comedic
parenth--)))). (There we go. And I'll be damned if any ADHDer can
backtrack--err, I mean scroll back--as well as THAT's a damn big fly in
the corner of my UGHGH where's my ritalin!? I killed too many people
this week they won't let me have it back) =(
Well, I don't know how long I have before my anti-ritalin pills kick in
for the night, so why don't I just get toZZZZzzzzZzZZZzHUNG? Where
the--oh... --to the important stuff and then ramble about the details
you don't give a shit about later if there's time, like a news article
(unless I throw in some crucial tidbit of info that changes everything
I said before, like NOT.) So let's start with my wait I'm hungry, no,
like really, hold on a sec...............K, back, now <grumble,
mrumble> whre wshaz Ish? Holdsh on...Ok, done. SO, let's start
with my job, career, friends, family, health, finances, boyfriends,
girlfriends, goals, and--oh wait, I don't have any of those! Except
for family. Oh, and super hi-def 720p disability-funded apartment
plasma walls. I'm like yay! Doesn't 720p look cool! And people
online (I don't have any friends left, <tear>) are like: "ROFL,
720p; we already past 1080p, didn't even stop for 5120p, went straight
into the five-digit-ps, and now we're looking to invest in a couple q's
and r's." Which is of course great if you can manage to get that far,
because then you can study philosophy textbooks on your plasma
billboards and can ascend from digital entertainment to pure logical
imagination. (The variables p, q, and r are used to designate certain
propositions in augmentive propositional asserrific logic or something
like that, I can't remember; they kicked me out of Philosophy 101 in
college for suggesting that the suggestion that the class didn't exist
was just plain bullshit reasoning.)
Which brings me (having traveled a totally non sequitur train of
thought) to my site, (because I've written some philosophy on my site,
and of course mentioning anything that has anything to do with anything
on my site segweys straight dead into the topic of how my site is
coming along, right? Are we still on the philosophy rant?)--or lack
thereof, just like my job, career, friends, family, health, finances,
boyfriends, girlfriends, goals, and--oh wait, I don't have any of
those! Except for family. Oh, and super hi-def wheeee space-time
loopy loop recursive loopy oh dear he's finally lost it (again again
again wheee).
SITE. Okay. Well, the thing with Frangles (a new fresh fractal
nonlinr@#RRDMUTHERFU##) is there's this whole mystery thing around who
writes it (or is procrastinating writing it (<cough>, Kyle,
<cough>). Right now I'm Frangles' main known potential writer
(or "friter", as part of the Frangles word is coining a whole bunch of
random shit synonyms that start with "fr" to make everything all
creative), and I say "potential" in that the whole mystery thing is so
ineffably complex that you don't even know whether I'M really a friter
or not. We put out all these possibilities, like for instance, maybe
an alien publishing company from Pluto hired me to pretend to be the
"only known friter" when in fact I'm not EVEN a friter at all. So you
can take that and let fly your imaginations with all other fathomable
possibilities (like a country of Xanglianists who plan to use Frangles
as their gateway into world Xanglic domination, like in The Faculty,
except with a low-hit website in place of an obscure high school).
Which brings me to MY site. Yes MY site. I HAVE one. My OOOOOWWN
goddamn site. Mine. My own. My preccdisiosuss... Otherwise known as
Squish7.com. (My [boss / alien friends / skynet AI network / whoever]
suggest that "Squish7" could actually be an alternate name for
Frangles, because Frangles prose lines up in axes of 7. (Seven pages
by seven chapters by seven novellas by and now I'm just plugging again;
how did we get off me and get into Frangles again?), but you can't have
it godammyou.) And what do I have to say about MY site now that we're
talking about it? Well, basically that I haven't had much time for it
lately due to other unnamed and anonymous obligations that you can
pretty much guess given the information that I don't have much of a
job/career/life/etc and have already ranted about Frangles about seven
billion times already using my fraudulant hatred of as a brilliant
subliminal advertisement because why WOULDN'T I want you to get into
the freshest and newest most bestest fractalnonlinesrf#@FSDD<*slit
wrists*>
Alright, no, seriously. You want to know where my online efforts and
stuff are at (clearly since you're reading this online and likely don't
know me personally or you wouldn't bother reading this 50-page thesis
to find out), so here goes. The most thorough nutshell I can give you
is this. Over the years since my very first site (when squish7.com was
squishfordummies.com), my ADHD--in hindsight--has basically translated
to online material/artwork/etcetc. I start domains like they're
construction paper drawings and would love to develop them but just
don't have the time to work on them all. I feel I could take any
online project I start and spend the rest of my life developing it and
making it a big deal. (I WOULD say "then there's all the other real
life artistic ambitions I have too" right here, but strangely, I think
most anything I do in life translates to real life as well as online
life; I can do guitar teaching on or offline, or songwriting, or
ultimate frisbee reform, or book writing, etc.) So what you see me
doing currently is just a whole bunch of random shit basically.
Without a brain chip to exponentiate my creative output, you can only
do so much in life. (Maybe they'll design one before I die, who knows,
but I'm not planning on it). So what's left is what to focus on. At a
rough ballpark, I'd d like to deal with guitar teaching, novel writing,
and ultimate frisbee reform, however the hell I'm going to do that. (I
have a radical view of ultimate frisbee strategy that the world hates
me for but I think it's like an Einstein-vs-quantum physics thing and
who are you to say otherwise until you've heard me rant for a few hours
about the matter. The trouble is how exactly to DO that, but again,
artistic efforts extent to real life as well as online nowadays, and I
think I have a good shot at combining the two to get my theories out
there.)
Given my ADHD etc etc etc, god knows I'll probably change my mandate a
dozen times--or I should say tweak my mandate, since I can't really
imagine runing off to study penguins in Antartica and give up guitar
and frisbee and Frangles--but where was I going? The projector's off
my eyes were starting to hurt. Oh well, we'll do the rest of this
blind, as I'm too tired to go back and edit anything and my eyes hurt
all the time anyway so I don't spend meticulous time editing any more.
Yah, that's another big thing, I'm going fucking BLIND. Serves me
right for staring at a monitor for 25 hours a day with a diet devoid of
vegetables and UV protection. I might start a major webpage devoted to
all my eye problems and solutions I've come up with, but I can't even
begin to dive into all that now as it's waaay too much to get into. Am I still typing in a text box? Good. (Not that I can tell)
Where were we? Right, online stuff, and what I'm doing and will be
doing and what to look out for. First and foremost, you can keep up to
date with me day to day right now by checking the Frangles updates page
where often post what I'm doing there (as well as do others who mot or
mot not exist or be real at all). Really, I mean even the whole
Xangles / Frangles / Blorkk stuff goes long periods without being
edited, so I suppose from one point of view ALL of this stuff--i.e. my
site and everything I link to or am a part of--could just be plain ol'
me, since it is all updated at a rate that might seem consistent with a
bum jobless artist, but of course there are a hundred other points of
view as well. From one point of view (the opposite extreme, sort of),
the ideas and concepts of all this stuff I'm connected to are massive
enough where many, many people could be involved or were needed to
collaborate and think this stuff up. If I do say so myself I'd have to
be very, very prolific to be doing all this stuff myself (my html and
graphics styles to tend to litter the whole Xangles / Frangles / Blorkk
/ etc / etc domain slew), and in that area I'll let you judge for
yourself from my past and from my character (and hospitalization list)
whether you think this stuff could all be me or not (and to what extent
you estimate my lack of career and social skills to be able to update
ten domains at a full-time, or over-time even, rate).
Are we on a new paragraph yet? I think I left some kale burning...
Ah! AAlmost 6am, here comes the parakeet (*puts on earmuffs*)
Well, I think I'll leave you off at "important stuff" and Skip the
"unnecessary details" for now, and just tell you to check the Frangles
Updates page for the day-to-day news involving the stuff I'm working on
(I'm currently working on a lengthy book called Writer's Bricks; and
let you viciously hit refresh on all my other domains I've started or
am involved with, etc. In fact it's a pain even to keep indexes and
glossaries on multiple sites, so just check there if you want an
up-to-date. NEWS OF ANYTHING I'M INVOLVED IN WILL BE POSTED
THERE--Squish7 or anywhere else--if any updates are made ANYWHERE.
From one "frangle" as they say, the entire freaking internet is a
subproduct of Frangles, so one might easily adopt the point of view
that Frangles is the main title/franchise whatever which all this other
stuff falls under (for instance, Xangles could be a "Frangles saga",
instead of Frangles being a "Xangles saga" as it's called now, and
Squish7 could be a "Xangles project" instead of a "related domain", etc
etc). So, it can make perfect sense to list updates for all this stuff
on one updates page. An update listing something new in Blorkk posted
this or that week can be akin to the Wachowski Brothers
(creators/directors of The Matrix) announcing a new Matrix-based comic
that will be released that such-and-such person may or may not care
about or be following.
So, I suppose I've hyped that enough; I just want to make it very clear
when you surf around to all my stuff and/or the stuff I'm involved in
(this wording is getting tedious) that if it all seems unupdated and
stuff, that's just because there's so MUCH of it that I can only focus
on one thing at once. Just writing a BOOK is a full time job,
nevermind all this xanglically / blorkkan / squish7 bio / A&F
Bestiality / eclectic youtubing / fractal nonlinear frisbee blah blah
blah blah, so when allll that just sits in a rut, know that I'm working
my butt of at SOMETHING, and right now it's Writer's Bricks, a novel of
Frangles, a FRESH FRACTAL NONLINEAR FREE ONLINE NOVEL NONSENSE SAGA!
