A Long Overdue & Much Needed Update

Posted on by
Standard

Hello WordPress,

I have not updated my blog in quite some time. I was busy finishing my first book, working on a musical, and handling many personal (mis)adventures. However, I plan to get active on here once again with poetry, music, and other smaller pieces. In the meantime, you can follow my newest creative project on Instagram. It’s called Rusty Toybox (@rustytoybox), and if you enjoy my more unhinged material, then it’s probably for you. Anyways, I am looking forward to reconnecting with a lot of you in the near future (if you’re all still on this platform.)

Stay Blue,

Sterling

I will be reading a set of poems for this event. The flyer claims I’m an idiot, so I will do my best to prove it right, I suppose.

The Snake Eater Trinity Round Two

Posted on by

I recently reconnected with my old artistic partner-in-crime, Ted K, and we decided to get the band back together, so to speak. We have recorded the first new Snake Eater Trinity tracks since 2007, and I daresay they’re as brutal as anything we’ve ever done. We’re going to be booking shows soon, so stay tuned for that and a vinyl release.

FOR FANS OF: THRASH, ELECTRO, HARDCORE, PUNK, WORKPLACE VIOLENCE, VIGILANTE JUSTICE, ANGER, DANGER, ETC.

How Come Everyone Knows The Rules But Me?

Posted on by

1.  Don’t be stupid, because people can tell.
2.  Hide your vices: booze smells, especially on your breath.  And track marks ain’t so pretty, neither.
3.  There’s no crying in: baseball, war, shoot outs, chess, checkers, horse races, or one night stands (I know it’s hard, but deal with it).
4.  Never fall in love.  Especially with a woman.  Particularly with a woman you love.
5.  Keep your friends close, but your vices closer (Sailor Jerry beats railing Mary).
6.  Do your homework, but never work at home.
7.  You’re not William Wordsworth, but you can come pretty damn close.
8.  Just because your ex-girlfriends are right doesn’t mean that you’re wrong.
9.  When in doubt, eat Laffy Taffy.
10.  —
