2019 PROCRASTINATION POST - FREE WILLIE

Y'ALL GONNA BE MAD AT ME FOR HOLDING OUT SO LONG WITH THIS ONE

ALSO HOLY FUCKING SHIT THIS GODDAMN ROTTEN YEAR JIMINY CHRISTMAS

I AM A TWITTER ADDICT BUT I MOSTLY USE IT TO BULLSHIT ABOUT NONSENSE, RETWEET SHITPOSTS AND KEEP UP WITH SOME NEWS SO I CAN MAINTAIN A CONSTANT LEVEL OF ANXIETY AND EXISTENTIAL DREAD AT ALL TIMES. THERE ARE MANY OTHER USES FOR TWITTER SUCH AS PROMOTING YOUR WORK, OFFERING UP STUFF FOR SALE, UNDERMINING DEMOCRACY AND PROMOTING FASCISM, AND RETWEETING EVERY SINGLE CONTEST OFFER ON TWITTER IN AN ATTEMPT TO MOOCH FREE SHIT. I AM ALL FOR MOOCHING BUT I USUALLY DON'T ENTER TWITTER CONTESTS UNLESS IT'S JUST A SIMPLE FOLLOW/RETWEET AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT I WOULD HONESTLY REALLY REALLY WANT. YOU'D BE SURPRISED THE HOOPS SOME PEOPLE WANT YOU TO JUMP THROUGH. LIKE, RETWEET, FOLLOW THIS ACCOUNT, FOLLOW ANOTHER ACCOUNT, CLICK ON THIS LINK, COMMENT ON MY PINNED POST, REGISTER AS A LIBERTARIAN FOR THE UPCOMING PRIMARIES, NO DON'T VOTE FOR VERMIN SUPREME WHAT ARE YOU DOING, BEAT DARK SOULS USING A GUITAR HERO CONTROLLER, QUOTE TWEET WITH YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER YOUR MOTHER'S FIRST PET AND YOUR CAT'S FAVORITE SPICE GIRL, EAT SOME VEGETABLES, GET YOUR LIFE TOGETHER FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT. THIS BEING SAID I ENTERED A CONTEST THAT WAS A SIMPLE RETWEET FOR SOMETHING I LIKED A LOT

1956 TOPPS WILLIE MAYS BVG 10

I WON A MAJOR AWARD! GOT THIS PERFECT WILLIE MAYS CARD FROM A CONTEST @card_mosaics HELD ON TWITTER. BEN IS AN ARTIST WHO CREATES MOSAICS FROM CUT UP BASEBALL CARDS. HIS ARTWORK IS VERY IMPRESSIVE ESPECIALLY TO ME SINCE I'VE NEVER REALLY BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE MOSAICS. I'LL STICK TO MY SCRIBBLY SKETCHING, THANKS.

IT WAS POSSIBLE TO WIN WILLIE, ERNIE BANKS AND ROY CAMPANELLA. I ALREADY HAD ERNIE BUT HEY, LET'S COLLECT TWO! SO IF I WON ANYTHING IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL. MAYS IS GREAT BECAUSE HIS CARDS ARE EXPENSIVE AS FUUUUUUUU AND I PASSED ON HIS 56 CARD AT A SHOW YEARS AGO AND KINDA SORTA REGRETTED IT. ONLY KINDA SORTA BECAUSE IT WAS 25 BUCKS AND I'M PRETTY SURE I DIDN'T HAVE MUCH MORE CASH THAN THAT ON ME AT THE TIME. I'VE GOT A PRETTY DAMN GREAT COLLECTION OF CARDS I WAS OFFERED AT A SHOW WHEN I WAS A BROKE ASS BITCH WITH NO MONEY

I THINK THIS CARD MIGHT HAVE HAD A TEAR AT SOME POINT BUT REALLY YOU CAN HARDLY TELL. IT'S AMAZING AND A LITTLE SCARY WHAT TRADING CARD DOCTORS CAN DO NOWADAYS TO HIDE DAMAGE ON CARDS AND GET THAT HIGHER GRADE. NOT THAT I WOULD EVER GET THIS CARD GRADED OF COURSE, I AM AN HONEST COLLECTOR THAT WOULD NEVER TRY TO DECEIVE MY FELLOW HOBBYISTS JUST TO MAKE A QUICK BUCK. BESIDES IF IT WAS GRADED IT WOULDN'T FIT INTO THE BINDER. LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE JOY OF A COMPL- UM, MOSTLY COMPLETE- ER, JOY OF A... PAGE. OF CARDS

SO YEAH. HALFWAY COMPLETED PAGE AND I'M PRETTY SURE ROSELLI AND LOGAN ARE PHOTOCOPIES FROM MY TEAM SET. STILL! HALFWAY THERE! THAT'S NOT TOO BA- OH WAIT. THE CARD NEXT TO JOHNNY LOGAN IS MICKEY MANTLE. OH WELL, FUCK THIS PAGE. I'LL GO DIGGING FOR A REPRINT.

 INCLUDED WITH THE CARD WERE A COUPLE GOODIES. FIRST IS A HONUS BONUS

HERE'S A NEAT VINYL STICKER OF THE T-206 HONUS WAGNER. AS A FAN OF ELDRITCH HORROR SEEING A FACE MADE OUT OF LITTLE FACES IS RIGHT UP MY ALLEY. I'M GUESSING THE BACKGROUND IS '87 DONRUSS, NOT SURE ABOUT THE BORDER THOUGH. THIS KINDA STUFF FASCINATES ME, HOW THE HECK DO YOU PICTURE ALL THIS IN YOUR MIND BEFORE YOU START HACKING AWAY AT CARDS WITH SOME SCISSORS. THE STICKER IS ABOUT THE SIZE OF AN INDEX CARD AND IS HELLA STURDY. IT WILL  PROBABLY NEVER GET STUCK ON ANYTHING THOUGH BECAUSE I'M WEIRD ABOUT REALLY COOL STICKERS

ALSO INCLUDED WAS A BUSINESS CARD. PATRICK BATEMAN WOULD - WELL, HE'D PROBABLY HATE IT. BUT THAT GUY'S A DICK. I'M OBSESSED THOUGH. ARE THOSE STARS HAND CUT? TAKEN FROM ACTUAL '52 CARDS? HOW THE HELL WAS THE SIGNATURE DONE? THAT LOGO? SO MANY QUESTIONS. I DIDN'T SCAN THE BACK BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WANT THEIR PHONE NUMBERS PLASTERED ON THE INTERNET BY SOME WEIRDO. DAT FONT THO. THE SUBTLE OFF-WHITE. THIS THING'S ALREADY IN A TOP LOADER

BEN'S WEBSITE IS  www.sportscardmosaics.com GO CHECK IT OUT

BONUS 2019 IN REVIEW CONTENT!!!

BEST MUSIC OF 2019

SO THE THING WITH ME AND MUSIC IS THAT I LISTEN TO A LOT OF IT BUT IT ALL JUST FLOWS THROUGH ME AND I CAN NEVER REMEMBER MY FAVORITES AT THE DROP OF A HAT ANYMORE. IS THERE A YOUTUBE FEATURE THAT TELLS YOU WHAT SONG YOU PUT ON A LOOP FOR THE LONGEST? PROBABLY KOMM SUSSER TOD. NOW THAT I DON'T HAVE AN HOURS LONG COMMUTE MOST OF MY MUSIC LISTENING IS LISTENING ONLINE OR PUTTING ALL MY RIPPED MP3S ON RANDOM. I CAN TELL YOU MY MAIN LISTENING FOCUS THIS YEAR WAS FUTURE FUNK/CITY POP/VAPORWAVE MIXES*, METAL - ESPECIALLY ANYTHING REFERENCING WITCHES OR WIZARDS IN THE TITLE AND OLD-ASS JAZZ/FUNK/R&B**. THIS STUFF WAS USUALLY THE SOUNDTRACK WHILE I PLAYED VIDEO GAMES. AS FOR NEW STUFF, I DID MANAGE TO FIND A COUPLE OF GEMS THIS YEAR

BEST ALBUM: MASTER BOOT RECORD - INTERNET PROTOCOL

GOTHIC CHIPTUNE CLASSICAL METAL

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

THIS POPPED UP RANDOMLY IN MY YOUTUBE RECOMMENDATIONS. I TRIED IT OUT AND DAAAAYUM IT'S GOOD. VERY GOOD FOCUSING MUSIC. MBR IS VERY PROLIFIC, GO CHECK OUT THE BANDCAMP AND ALSO KEYGEN CHURCH FOR MORE EPICNESS

BEST SONG: NATE MERCEREAU - RIGHTEOUS ENERGY

MY FAVORITE LOCAL RADIO STATION IS ALBUM 88 BUT IT'S HARD TO LISTEN TO BECAUSE NPR GOBBLED IT UP AND EXILED THE MUSIC TO THE ALTERNATE HD STATION FROM LIKE 7AM-7PM. I GOT NO HD RADIOS SO I HAVE TO LISTEN ONLINE OR AFTER HOURS. VERY OFTEN I'M LISTENING ALONG WHILE DOING SOMETHING ELSE AND A SONG WORMS ITS WAY INTO MY SOUL WHILE I'M NOT LOOKING. THIS HAPPENS TO ME A LOT, THERE WAS A SONG FROM ABOUT 2006-07 THAT I ADORED BUT I NEVER FOUND OUT THE TITLE OR BAND NAME AND THE ONLY LYRIC I COULD REMEMBER WAS 'THE OWL GOES HOO-HOO-HOO-HOO' WHICH IS UNGOOGLEABLE. THIS SONG DID EXACTLY THAT AND I COULD NEVER FIGURE OUT THE TITLE AND IT'S AN INSTRUMENTAL SO AIN'T NO DAMN LYRICS TO LOOK UP. I KNOW, USE THE SHAZAM APP, MY OLD-ASS PHONE CAN BARELY MAKE CALLS. I FINALLY FOUND A WEBSITE THAT HAD THE PLAYLIST.  PROBLEM WAS IT IDENTIFIED THE SONG AS JOY TECHNIQUES. I LISTENED TO THE WHOLE DAMN ALBUM (WHICH IS VERY GOOD), FOUND THE SONG AND NOW I LOVE IT. THE FUTURE IS AWESOME, IF A LITTLE COMPLICATED

HONORABLE MENTION: LISEL - ANGELS ON THE SLOPE. THIS IS ALSO GETTING HEAVY PLAY ON ALBUM 88 AND I DIG SEVERAL SONGS ON THIS ALBUM

*ANYTHING WITH LOOPING ANIME GIFS FOR THE VIDEO IS EXTREMELY MY JAM
**WITH A BIG FOCUS ON SONGS THAT WERE HEAVILY SAMPLED BY HIP-HOP HITS
