Its a mad mad mad mad mad world

Its a maddening maddening mad hatters mad hattering mad haters are chattering
the batter is battering all the stats are still staggering the badger was badgering unabashadley brandishing a badge from a bad German Sheppard black fur like a leopard without stripes and no checkers i was a wreck at the records i felt wretched in bed but it was all for the better
forever together in splendor where ever no wonder no never grow stronger go getter 
so weather the storm whether rich or in squalor from the top of the bucket to the bottomm of dollars to the loudest of whispers and softest of hollers. for the insomniac staying up four hundred hours
to the clean freak scrubbing dead skin in the showers 
the flesh eating disease it rips and devours 
but what about love and smelling the flowers. 

Hairstyles of the rich and homeless

I feel great. Even though I split the my eyebrow open the other night when I made the executive decision to headbutt some guy during a basketball game the other night. Even with this open wound on my face I was still able to make it out to McCormick place for the first time since I worked the auto show in February. It was my chance to learn about the competitive world of hair modeling. It went well. Its funny because you cant see what they are doing to you and you just see hair flying all over the place. I had done a hair modeling gig in the suburbs with my buddy Tanto a couple of years back 2007 I think. 
This one was for the American Beauty Show and was a lot more insane. The whole place (Mind you that McCormick place is big enough for dinosaurs to be playing full contact football) I went up there and it was crazy. A lot crazier than the auto show. I guess anytime you have that many people packed into a giant building. I just got a gig to doing voice overs for an independent animated feature film. All of my friends and family are doing well. People on facebook are all having great days. It's cold but spring is in the air. March 12th is going down in the books as a great day. I have been looking forward to more blogging now that the Internet gods have smiled kindly upon me. I have realized that the inter net is just a vehicle for your mind. its was keeping me up late the other night thinking that we all live in a giant building like McCormick place, like the Truman show. we are just cows feeding and biding our time. Is it all a game. Have I watched too many conspiracy videos to know whats real? Sitting here thinking about how the Internet is the matrix. The dream is real (the tag line from the inception promotional posters.) I feel good none the less. As I was saying the whole world is changing and moving forward. People are getting connected new friends are everywhere. Take advantage of every opportunity. seize the day. You are always becoming better or worse, decide which one you prefer. Best

Delirium serum deleterious sermon delicious syrup and watermelon

All of the people have bad intentions
Truer words were never sung
Craigslist reading missed connections
Someone saw me at Fullerton
Thomas Jefferson had inventions
I have got the perfect one
A filter for your butt so when you fart it freshens
I think I need to re start
How about a robot shopping cart?
Honestly please, do you have suggestions
Inventing things is really hard
Do you believe in new dimension
How many have you seen so far
Avoid the department of corrections
Or you'll be living behind bars
I'm getting calls about debt collection
While I'm sitting at the bar
Life is like a recollection
Of what it is we truly are
Prepare yourself for disinfection
Afterward you keep the jar
Nerium for nice complexion
Ordering some caviar
Can I get a cord extension
The outlet here is really far

If your hanging with Frank you best bee feeling a buzz
Feeling better than ever better even on drugs
Never under the weather pull from under the rug
And when I’m feeling the love its even better because

We got the root beer and the whipped vodka
We act proper you are a malaka

Pop a couple pills until it ain't pretty
Ballpark Frank got the moves like Schmitty
At the strip club we all getting shitty
Big fat motherfucking titties in the city

I Got The Bugers Burgers Burgers Burgers Burgers


Sunday afternoon sitting in the cool breeze eating an American burger. What could be better. I ate burgers everyday for one summer. I wish I had stats on my lifetime of burgers. Todays Burger was unique. I had been craving burgers all day and finally decided to make the dreaded burger walk. On the way I saw a Panera bread and I kind of wanted to get my soup on but it was all for not. I continued on my journey and eventually made contact with a burger retail outlet known as Five Guys Even though there was more than five guys running the place. I got the burgers burgers burgers burgers burgers burgers burgers burgers burgers burgers. I also got fries. Men's Health says that five guys meals are bad for you but I don't care because they taste good and Burgers are American. Now Every Sunday I go for a long adventure walk and treat myself to some good old American Cuisine. MMMM MMMM MMMMM so tasty. Hot Burgers and Fries Made To Order. I am not even getting paid for this. I just really like the burgers. Sometimes when I meet people for the first time I ask them "Excuse Me Do You Have Burgers?"

From The Desk Of BallPark Frank


I get big in the paint like a big man on canvas
Frank on the globe write rhymes on the atlas
Make all the money to buy all the makers
On your mark get set on the plate like taters
Better now than laters i glide like the skaters
Always rip ass when i'm in the elavators
Darth like the vaders light saber tooth tigers
Watching us now in the eye of the fighter
Lit like a lighter cuz got spins like the dryer
Walking home looking like the man on the wire
I burn rubber like a fire breathing dragon with a magnum 
Condom i got at the spot when I bought gum 
Got some awesome nachos with cheese sauce and quac yo
An ice cream snickers and a choco taco
Got the tic tacs and tactics the stretch like elastic
I love the fans cuz they are fantastic

Pizza Monster Poem Part One

The sun came out and the moon set in
the alarm went off let the day begin
let the coffee brew and the shower steam
five more minutes to sleep and dream
but watch those minutes 
they sure add up
Have a bagel fill your cup
Read the Times and find your way
Be at work or play today is the day
The forest hum the ocean spray
the icy mist the sunny ray
the way we make the hours pass 
Infinite wisdom at our grasp 
father time is old and wise 
mother earth nurtures young vines
so drink the wines and clean the scrapes 
finish the paper review the tapes
take all the things you took for granted 
the overstated the understanded
the upper graded and under handed 
i read a pamphlet about the planet 
Going Green?  or Going Hamlet?
Going Hamlet I must say sir
Hamlet Going as it were
where is it here that fear we must
of gooey cheese and crunchy crust
tomato chunkage such a must
the pizza monster is after us.

Watch out because I will undoubtedly continue the story of the pizza monster and believe me when I tell you that it is going to be down right hilarious. 

Watch out for the Evil Pizza Monster

Laced Coffee Poem


One day I saw a sign 
"What kinda sign did you see?"
A giant billboard that said "(watch out for the laced coffee?)"
I blinked my eyes twice cuz I thought it said "Iced"
I sat there all day and long into the night
so deep were my thoughts i had a case of the thinks
it made me wanna stop for some food and some drinks 
the diner in flux with plate clanks and glass clinks  

I sat at a table unassuming, 
except for the other three people who sneered
back, back, back, they say while pushing me out of the way
But stay, stay, stay, I say I am the wart that wont go away 
even later in life when your old and your grey all the way to the end I'll be here to stay
so they left and I sat there got coffee and snacks like soup of the day and these new deli wraps
slaps on the table laughter rumbles like thunder i stare at my coffee and i started to wonder
now was it the smell or was it the taste one thing was for sure the coffee was laced
I paced to the bathroom to look in the mirror the sounds on my face i started to hear
strange prose from my nose bold lies from my eyes surprised by the highs that laced coffee provides

Fat Tire Please



The Suburban Invaders and I performed a show at The Redline Tap in Ravenswood on Sunday night. This is a unrehearsed improv moment from the show where we happened to be taking a little to long between songs and I simply tell the audience about this empty fat tire keg I brought with as a prop. Our new Drummer Rod was using it as part of his drum kit. I have been using the keg at home as part of my "No Exceptions, No Excuses" workout plan. After I simply point out the keg to the crowd, the whole band seems to jump on board and a whole ridiculous song about fat tire just seems to flow out of us. Just so you know, for all of the verses in the song I am impersonating this really great guy named Harry Fridas who often said "Fat Tire Please" and would always demand Fat Tire after doing odd jobs at work like mopping the whole floor or checking people in at the door. Last year Harry was deported back to Sydney Austrailia where there is no Fat Tire. Someday when I have more of a following, I plan on having an event called "Harry's Wild Show" where we would be the musical entertainment alongside some sketch and stand up comedy. The proceeds from the event would all go toward purchasing and exporting a whole Keg of Fat Tire to Harry who is currently living in Sydney. Harry If your reading this, I miss you man. I hope you like the song.
