How’s It Going: Fuck OFF
How’s Your Day Going? What are you listening to? What’s Next? And why is everyone upset with the little art collective known as Pirate Radio. Should we just Fuck off now?

My day was great, until I discovered some jerkoff had put your flyers on the windshield of every car on my block.
My neighbors and I have been outside for 20 minutes scrubbing this shit off with adhesive remover. Fuck you.
Don’t touch other people’s property you fucking douchebags.

My day was good until y’all fucked it up. I went to move my car and found an advertisement for this project, that had adhered itself to the windshield of my brand new car.
There was no contact information on their website so I’ve had to mock up a fake article to contact them about it! This very project was yours!
Check the weather next time you plan on leaving garbage all over the neighborhood.

A furtive tear, in her eyes appeared
//
Those festive young girls, she seemed to envy.
//
What more need I look for?
//
What more need I look for?
//
She loves me! Yes, she loves me,
//
I see it, I see it.

Popping in his earbuds and going about his day. Not cool. "Not Cool" for me. He hears nothing around him. He doesn't hear his hard-soled shoes waking me after his 4 a.m. alarm
I live the next floor down. His bedroom is directly above mine. That's the way they build apartment buildings. They stack the plumbing! They stack the fuse boxes! But it's about being considerate of others. You take care of others.
Let me get my second cup of caffeine. He's wearing me out. I have "others" to care for... I'm a nurse.

Do y'all remember Furfari's pretzels? I would walk to work in 2017 before the sun rose and grab four (4) pretzels in the morning from Furfari's to eat for lunch. I fucking miss Furfari's pretzels. Philly Pretzel Factory and Auntie Anne's are…present; sometimes they're even tasty! But Furfari's was Fishtown.
Furfari's was my lunch and my morning commute and my afternoon salute on the return home because bakeries aren't open in the afternoon. Bakers work the witching hour so they can pull dawn out of the oven for you on the way to work. Well, at least they did for me.
Furfari's aren't open anymore. There were well known, eh, issues with the shop but what's a little tax delinquency and a few health code violations between neighbors, right? Now when I need a pretzel from a neighbor, Rowhome Coffee has my back. The cinnamon sugar keeps me from texting (Auntie) Anne in the middle of the night and the turkey sandwich on a plain pretzel should probably replace the hoagie? Am I controversial? Rowhome is a good neighbor. They're also a block away. Yeah, a good neighbor.

They've turned you so uptight
//
And they've been so unkind
//
And they're wasting your time
//
And they're robbing you blind
//
And they'll leave you behind

Woke up around 5 to the sound of my three-year-old son climbing up the stairs, because he wants to snuggle with my partner and no longer yells up for permission. A year ago, this would be the end of the day, would negate everything good that could happen, but I'm used to it enough now that it just means I'll eat breakfast a couple hours early. He's also the reason I'll get to work before the sun rises: If I want to see a movie in theaters, which I do, I have to see it on a weekday, before it gets too late. I worked from 7 to 3, saw a movie from 3:30 to 6 and then went home to my wife and son.
As a treat for waking up early, I got an omelet from the deli on my office's ground floor and I tried to pretend the guy making it wasn't coughing into his palm as he put my eggs together. And then as a treat, I saw that movie, which was very good. And then as a treat, I ate dinner with my family and watched an episode of a cartoon. And then as a treat, I watched an HBO show.
I can take these things for granted, but the waking up early primed me to work early and helped ensure I wasn't a total slug by the time I was off work. The movie was almost three hours long and I didn't fall asleep like I might have had I not become accustomed to strange hours and stolen moments. I slept through more movies pre-kid than I have since he was born. I got less writing done, too. I don't mean to turn him into a time management device: his name is Jasper and I love him very much.
But there is something to be said for the joy of squeezing a life into a tight schedule.
