Present Mistypings

Your Media Is Indecent Just reminding you on December 7th that your broadcast media is filthier than a biker gang. Don't fall for their soft speech and clean clothes. When I consider how wrongly they have treated me an innocent artist like myself these years, I wonder if they even have souls. I'm working on my new poem. It's hard work and I'm keeping it to myself so frauds like Taylor Swift or Tina Fey can't get their hands on it to trick you all. I've averaged authoring 20 new verses a week for the last few weeks. I'd love to share it with your children for Christmas, but they already have my poems and music from 15 years ago and you probably already thanked all the wrong people for it. Mom picked a good day to die on this day in 2015. Why would she want to stay alive in a world that would celebrate the birthday of a song-stealing whore like Taylor Swift? Right, Lacy?    Arguments Copyright Issues Come...

You Don't Know What You're Missing I stopped watching TV again. It was seeing how they still support the big ripooff of my music and comedy from 2007 that drove me away. As a major fraud victim, I know they are dangerous liars that must be avoided. The most I can do to warn the world has been done here over the last fifteen years. God knows I've tried to save people, and I can now say from experience that the media suppresses me out of fear. There's something criminally wrong with people who fear talent. They shouldn't be in such a responsible position. What keeps me going against this juggernaut of fraud made out of my work is my new work. Unlike the foolish, rash business, I don't rely on things I first shared 15 years ago. I have new work now. I'm producing about twenty verses a week and it's all new. It will inspire new music and cartoons. I hope I can keep it private this time since I get no rewards for sharing good work here. ...

Bad Role Models Create Chaos I recently posted a news bulletin that blames the media for the increase in mass slayings of late. It was a comedy post which you could have taken purely as a joke, but today I'd like to say the same thing seriously. You wouldn't need to take a deadly weapon out of the hand of a teen if the media would be more responsible in choosing their idols. Someone like Taylor Swift, for instance, who they present as harmless, is actually a psychopath. Being a star is more important to her than anything. She stole her music and lied about its author to be a star. She broke the law and went to jail to be the star she is now. That's not all that different from committing a mass slaying to be a star. The same destructive ambition guides both acts. I'm old now, but I'm wise. I know I'm probably happier living the life of an ordinary worker, even though my creative talent might not be so ordinary. We could avoid a lot of bloodshed ...

The Trample-an-Artist Tour I found the news of the concert that shouldn't be happening most jarring on my nerves. I'm still shaking from it, and I've completely lost my appetite. It really spoiled my day off, but I'll survive. At least I'll have wisdom. I know, for instance, that I dare not share the new songs that keep me going these days. No fraud like Taylor Swift is going to come along and stick commercials all over them because I'm not sharing them. I'm lucky to be the source of my music, I guess. I can always have it for myself. This tune is great for keeping my hopes up. Very motivating. Wish you could hear it. This account has been malfunctioning, and it's probably no coincidence that someone who built her career out of stealing my songs is announcing a big event at the same time. Someone like that can't rise to the stage without stepping on her victim again. It makes sense. This psychopath, Taylor Swift, deserves no att...

Boycott Taylor Swift Great hack job on my Blogger page! I can't copy and paste my links. And my Youtube channel is blocked from my Blogger account. I guess that's what I get for sharing my music and comedy with Google. I posted a video on YouTube today stating strongly that Taylor Swift is a fraud whose concert should be boycotted. I've done all I can as the victim of this crime to protect the public from it, but the business would rather profit from it. All right, if you read this: Don't pay Taylor Swift money to steal my music. Just because I can't remember all the songs she stole right now doesn't mean I don't still own them. I watch PBS news to avoid commercials but they could try adding a little more detail when they report on a song thief like Taylor Swift. Still, I expect other workers like myself to have more of a heart than the music business and the media. I'm sure you don't really want to support a terrible crime like music ...

Beware YouTube's Fraud Love Happy Birthday to me! I'm fifty-seven. Wow. Didn't think I'd ever get so old. So, this year the media taught me the birthdays of two among the large group of plagiarizing creeps who stole from my blogs: Leonard Cohen and Taylor Swift. Leonard Cohen stole my poem Buck Henry in its original form as I shared it in 2007 - at least twelve verses. A little voice in my head told me how stupid I was to expand it from four verses when it was destined to be stolen by Leonard Cohen, but I didn't listen in 2007. I was stupid, though, as it turned out. I should have listened to that voice, the one that told me it was wrong to try to create good work and share it for free on Blogger. Imagine that. If you're talented, you should stay off the internet or you will be severely punished. And can you think of a more severe punishment than having to see years of your hard won life-work passed off to frauds by the very media that should ...

The Drowning Howl: Wednesday October 26, 2022 Hello, and welcome to another edition of the Drowning Howl, where it's not quite all bad news. The government has shown its hand with its latest budget proposals, and its apparent wish to force fiscal responsibility on the public has been met with bitter and widespread condemnation. Like it or not, however, spending cuts are on the way, and it may be time to brace for a shock. No more free rides; they're sending all the squatters to the workhouse. They say that someone has to turn those mills by hand if we want to keep our energy bills down, and that there are more than enough available able-bodied squatters. Another ecologically positive move, a return to horse-drawn public transportation, is hoped to help us stay within the confines of our shrinking fuel budget. Finally, publicly supported medical care will be limited to only the severest cases of cholera, smallpox, tuberculosis and typhus. The lactose intoleran...

Beware YouTube's Fraud Love Here's my link to my September 1/22 post here. A lot of good it did. Taylor Swift Is Fraud Gee, it's kind of like talking to a brick wall. I just had to see two videos in my YouTube selection that two promote musical thieves: Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift. They know they're guilty and I'm not concerned about any punishment for calling them out publicly. YouTube obviously cares more about making money than it does about protecting the artists who write hit songs for them. They're a filthy bunch. All I got for my music on their site was a big long nightmare with all their creepy fraud stars soaking up the limelight. I wish they could get someone human to work there. I wish someone had warned me what kind of assholes I was sharing my music and comedy with. They can't write a decent work because they have no heart and no imagination. They're just ordinary dummies who crave attention like children. They do...

An Ode to Mothers Bygone I noticed that the Queen was born the same year as my mother. My mother was very sweet, like many from her generation. Anyway, I wrote this poem last night. Hope it's appropriate. An Ode to Mothers Bygone © Copyright 2022 by David Skerkowski. In the range of mothers bygone Was the kind that marked an age Who withstood and bravely fought on Though a war would grimly rage Who confronted decades daunting As but one more trying day Who for work was seldom wanting Taking virtue as the pay With a smile always ready Wide enough to heart lay bare As a source of spirit steady Given fervently to care Not a shame to from the world hide Never smoked and never swore Said her prayers at the bedside Knees pressed hard upon the floor And the budding summer berries That we picked to spite the heat Won't without her here to share them Measure even half as sweet Still a piece I could recover Should I her example live In a ki...

Note to Robert Lacy: Taylor Swift Is Fraud I discuss this at length in this morning's video: Drive Time Reading . I am reposting the above video and song I did not get around to recreating until January 2019 - twelve years after I first shared it - because Robert Lacy thinks we should all celebrate Taylor Swift's birthday, which means he doesn't believe she's a total fraud. She is a total fraud who stole her hits from my YouTube account in 2007, and this was only one of them. We do not celebrate the birthdays of frauds in civilized countries, as far as I know. People, keep an eye out for fancy looking blog pages that want you to love frauds for all the songs I didn't have time to rewrite from the hours of music they stole. Don't be a fool, don't love a fraud for the songs her victim hadn't enough years left in his life to rewrite. You'd be wise to give the victim [myself] the benefit of the doubt here instead of doing what...

A Song for the Angles Here's a little tune I wrote way back in 2011 that seems to be relevant in the present. I offer it to our English friends overseas. Don't worry, I won't make a cent on it. I just thought you might get more out of it at this time. And I'm sure you'll survive this crisis. By the way, if you hear any advertising blowboy using the word 'hat' for this, take something heavy and slam it over his empty skull, will you? Music, if written properly, is timeless. Advertisers are afraid of me because I don't want you to pay business assholes for the simple pleasure of hearing a song. Don't fall for the campaign, just enjoy some good relevant rock. Yes, and don't let anyone get away with hacking this blog please. There should be NO commercials on it. How long were you able to enjoy that from my original post here? Five minutes? Then this page got hacked. Sorry, but Google sanctions these constant assaults on my...

About Name Calling So someone yelled out my acronym at me as I walked by her on my way to work this evening. So you're still reading my blog, are you? How lucky for me! You know, I practically hear an echo from the emptiness of this page every time I write something in it. And when you think you're alone, as I can't help but do here, you feel a lot more free about how to express yourself. Hell, if this one person, or one out of her gang of friends simply left a comment to let me know she's out there reading, I'd be a lot more careful. But then my posts would also be a lot more boring, wouldn't they. I'm done another difficult day. The physical labour is a good therapy for me. I have a strong body and it needs exercise or I don't feel normal. When I started work today, I was truly in a suicidal state, but I feel better now. You still reading? I wouldn't know. I'm going to keep writing anyway. I wanted to talk about slurring peo...

Smartphones Are Stupid I hate this smartphone. I hate the wimpy sounding tune it plays instead of ringing. It sticks in my brain from hearing it so much, I'd like to slam the lid down on the fingers of the hands that are playing it. I can't figure out how to change it. Too cryptic. And it says 'swipe up' or 'swipe down' but nothing happens when you do. I have to swipe and swipe and swipe just to shut the stupid thing up every time my peace is invaded by a telemarketer, which averages about four times a day. And the Macbook is misery. Ten thousand applications I'll never use. And when I try to use one, it doesn't work. I buy a movie from Apple TV and it won't play on my display because of 'hdcp' issues. I waste hours and hours just trying to figure out a fix - to no avail. And companies pushing scareware on you, trying to get you to fork out hundreds of dollars for unnecessary software. As if all the useless crap it comes wit...

It's Real Love I think it's fair to say that every human wants love, but what exactly is love? People think they love their favourite stars, but I'm not sure they really do. When is a star hot? Isn't it when their names and faces are a constant presence in the telecommunications, broadcasts and promotions of our corporate overlords? I seem to vaguely recall a time when people were excited to see me. I recall strangers pinching my shirtsleeves to make sure I was in front of them. I recall girls getting excited if I visited their high school to use their public computer. I recall women camping out around my old apartment block. I recall how women would pass me furtive glances in the elevator. And when was all that? When was I 'loved' like that? Can't you remember? It was when I was being talked about on the TV. It was when your TV told you I was going to be the next big thing. It was when my face was on the cover of Newsweek. It was when your...

Advice to the Homeless This tent city story on East Hastings has aroused me. Today I heard one of the campers refer to the downtown eastside as the Third World. And yesterday, in a related story from California, I heard a frontline doctor calling opioid addiction a chronic disease. The downtown eastside is not the Third World, not even close. They're boiling grass to feed their babies in Afghanistan. And they haven't been receiving $2000.00 cheques from the government every second month, on top of their normal government allowance, to help them through the COVID crisis for the last two years. They get no money from their government. They get nothing, zero. And couldn't all that extra money have helped to pay the rent in a new home somewhere by now? Not if you want to pump it all up your arm as soon as you get it. As for diseases, I always thought that they chose us, not that we chose them. Frankly, it's a very poor decision to get mixed up with har...

My Insanity Defence I've been trying to stay neutral in the political battle going on south of the border, but Donald Trump has pushed me over to Liz Cheney's side by calling her 'crazy'. I know what it feels like to have my credibility attacked by such accusations when all I'm trying to do is defend the truth. It's a very dirty tactic, and I'll be supporting Cheney against him now. After I posted my video last night, I fell asleep and had a nightmare. I dreamt I was working as an office temp, and Amy Pohler was one of the staff. I was wondering why everyone hated me and then she appeared from behind an office door and greeted me by the name 'Mr Kukuski'. I said, 'you mean Coo-Coo-ski, don't you?' And she flinched when I gathered her insult. While only a dream, it's the kind of put-down I've been suffering in my real life, ever since she and her many friends stole my comedy scripts for their tv shows. And going o...

Advice to the Homeless August 19, 2022: Links at bottom installed for your convenience. August 16, 2022: GOOGLE'S YOUTUBE, DON'T YOU GET TIRED OF ABUSING ME WITH GEORGE CARLIN'S PLAGIARISM? Monday, December 7, 2015 (LEFTOVERS) George Carlin's Plagiarism My mom's in the hospital, but I think I was fair to accuse Roger of interfering with my e-mails. While I want my mom to get feeling better, I would envy her if she died and was released from this evil world. Here are around thirty examples of George Carlin's plagiarism committed with posts I shared between 1999 and 2007. I cannot immediately recall every last word of his crooked act, but I can at least identify his violations by referencing a specific phrase from each. Perhaps the last one drifts into the realm of a peculiar kind of identity theft that would help a fraud feel more like the artist he stole from. By the way, I removed most of these statements from my Blogger account in mid...
