November To-Do

Lou Reed by Mick Rock

November: a short month that is already five days shorter than it was five days ago, and apparently full of rain, sez Axl. Here are some completely unsolicited tips on how to make this month another one full of bad intentions, unfulfilled dreams, and wasted time.

1. Quit caffeine/irony addictions
2. Become Zen Buddhist
3. Take down the IMF and World Bank (this means giving up weekly "browsing" trip to Wal-Mart--except to buy Zen rock garden)
4. Sell all sell-able belongings and give the money away (or spend it on plane ticket/jewelry/cheap drinks in developing tropical nations)
5. Finally start that amphetamine addiction you've been contemplating for awhile-- gain time and self-respect!
6. Cash in on American birthright by getting paid to be a self-indulgent ingrate (start with a book deal based on blog)
7. Hone knowledge of post-modern theory/Brooklyn underground experimental music scene/ 1960s French cinema to impress friends and enemies
8. Confess undying love for at least six people
9. Figure out why people are still racist idiots (interesting read)
10. Free self from the confines of space and time
11. Adrian Brody's body
