Tay Tay's Clever

For whatever this is worth, I once did an invocation of Satan in a friend's Manhattan apartment while visiting NYC, and I can resonate with this.  I read Baudelaire, I think?  I don't remember.  But the worst thing that happened to me was a general mental fatigue some intrusive thoughts about masturbating on the subway.  I survived.

Also sometime around then I cut my finger on a broken bar stool in a FILTHY old school punk rock bar called The Mars Bar.  Apparently this bar was very FULL ON old school NYC punk.  But all I know is it was FILTHY and I cut my finger on the bar stool and was genuinely concerned that maybe I was going to catch the hepatitis if not actually the HIV.  Hepatitis is very punk rock, I think.

Also either right before that, or right after that, we went to the Reuben museum, which I believe is very famous, and saw their tantric art exhibits and an exhibit on Jung's Red Book.  Do you know Jung's Red Book?  I SAW IT.  I saw it with my eyes in a museum in NYC some time after slicing my finger open on a filthy bar stool and some time right before invoking Satan in my part-time sex worker friend's apartment.

The only thing I remember is something about a dragon swallowing the sun.  Something something like maybe the sun doesn't want to be swallowed but the dragon swallows it anyway.

Then we hung out with these guys that blamed Muslims for 9/11.  It wasn't on purpose, it's just the bar was extremely crowded.  I did what I could for these guys but it wasn't much.  Not the punk rock bar, by the way, it was more modern and pretentious bar with, if I remember this right, an Italian name.

All of this makes sense to me as something Lady Gaga, NYC indie legend turned mega pop star struggling to hold on to her roots might conceivably put into her art, because this is what it reminds me of.

But I don't know, I'm just stabbing at the darkness as usual.
