for me, when I come around is one of THE green day songs. it’s one song that defines part of their very vast sound.

it’s such a great song. it’s chill and meaningful.

i really like to listen to it while im walking and can pretend im in the music vid. (very fun, highly recommend trying this one out).

but i don’t know how to explain. i can say that it’s just green day!!

—I was getting kinda down on myself because I felt like I’d been really on top of my shit recently but then somehow ran out of money again. So I had to remind myself that being broke doesn’t mean I’m not on top of my shit—it just means we are living in late capitalism, and times are hard. But then I’m not going to let myself stop trying to improve my own/my family’s lives because of it, either. Times are hard but that doesn’t mean I can’t keep looking for more/better work, or that it’s not worth going back to school.

—Saturday evening, P. and I got to go out for a drink. We went to a different bar than the one we usually go to, and had the place to ourselves, so we ended up talking with the bartender. The three of us hit it off immediately. The bartender was a flamingly gay punk dude, and the first thing he said to us was: “You two have the best couple energy I’ve ever witnessed.” He said he could just tell we love each other a lot, and then he commented on the fact that we were even sorta dressed alike. Which I hadn’t realized, but when he said that…we were both wearing Chucks, and jeans, and flannel shirts over old tees. (Love each other so, closer than you know, and all that.) Then we were all talking about our favorite cocktails for a bit, and then Green Day’s “When I Come Around” came on the stereo and me and the bartender were both singing along at the top of our lungs. “I can’t not sing along to this song, you know?” he said, and I said: “Oh my god, same.” And then later somehow the discussion turned to ghosts and he told us the haunted history of the building we were in and some other nearby places, and it was all stuff which I’d never even heard! And I’ve researched that shit! We told him how years ago we went on the downtown ghost tour and it was so boring, we barely even heard any haunted stories, and it turns out that he’s one of the people that now does the ghost tours since the old group folded—and he’s a member of the local paranormal investigation group! He gave us the dates that he’ll specifically be leading the tour this year, so we’re definitely going on one of those dates. Anyway, befriending a gay punk who’s into ghosts and Green Day? 10/10, highly recommended.

—The bar we were in is also a high-end liquor store, and I perused their whiskey selection while we were there, and discovered there’s an Irish whiskey called The Legendary Silkie. As soon as I have enough money where I can justify dropping some on it, I’m going to. Because Irish whiskies are my favorite, and also because I’ve been obsessed with silkie/selkie lore since I was a wee’un.

—Sunday, I basically did jack shit. I was having a sinus issue flare-up, plus it was the first day of my period (which always comes with cramps and exhaustion and a general feeling of yuck), so I stayed in bed half the day. And yes, while I am still hustling my ass off to improve my situation, I have to remind myself it’s okay to have days like that. Especially when I physically need it. When I was younger, I would push myself past my limits, and then I’d wind up super ill for weeks or months, unable to do much of anything. I’m not willing to risk that these days, so when I need a day of rest, I take one, if it’s at all possible.

—Yesterday, I felt a lot better. I did school stuff with the kids, dayjob work + side hustle, and writing/submitting stuff. I also took the kiddos to the library for Maker Monday, and they got to mess around with robots and VR and 3D printers. While at the library, I saw the most beautiful trans woman, and I tried hard not to stare at her like a creep. I managed it—I just smiled at her, she smiled back, and I went on my way. And then in the kids’ play area, I encountered an adorable toddler. He was clearly new to both walking and speaking, and one of the few words he knows is ‘bowl.’ He found a plastic bowl in the play kitchen, and was toddling around the room, presenting it to everyone, saying “bowl!” Which he pronounced like ‘buh!’ So obviously I was super enthusiastic when he showed it to me. “That’s right buddy! That’s a great bowl you’ve got there!” And he grinned his little toothless grin and toddled away to present his ‘buh’ to someone else. Aw. I definitely don’t want any more kids, and in many ways I’m glad my kids are past the toddler stage, but it’s nice to interact with teeny kiddos from time to time.

—Today I felt pretty sucky again, physically. My period yuck has passed, but it was a bad allergy/sinus day. I wasn’t able to take the day off, but I rested as much as possible. I did school stuff with the kids, and then made a cup of tea and took it up to bed, and I worked from bed for a couple hours. After that, I felt well enough to do some other stuff. I packed up some zine orders. And then C. and I did some baking—I had a bunch of peaches left over from a meal we made the other night, so we baked a peach and blackberry galette.

—I’m deep in nostalgia these days, as per usual, but right now it’s mainly for September 2003 and September 2008—The Perpetual Motion Roadshow, and Thee Hobo Love Tour. And how the fuck were those tours 20 and 15 years ago, respectively?!

—Today, I found out that Nick Cave is playing in Milwaukee later this month. There is literally no way I can afford to go, but unlike the Blue Meanies show in July, I didn’t freak out about it. I was bummed for about thirty minutes, and then went: “Eh, so I can’t see Nick Cave in concert right now. Instead, I will sit alone in my room, dressed all in black, drinking tea or wine, and listening to Nick Cave while thinking about a girl I once knew, as god intended.”

—Overall, I’ve been better able to appreciate the small moments of contentment in my life than I was earlier in the summer. Like the fact that the weather is turning autumnal. Like lying in bed drinking tea, or sitting in my backyard drinking coffee. Like watching the birds in my backyard. Like listening to jazz while writing or doing chores. (I’ve been on a big jazz kick lately. This is fairly common for me, this cycle—listen to a ton of punk to the point where I’m almost sick of it, then listen to a ton of jazz.) Like cooking with my kids and reading with my kids.

—Plans for the next week or two include: getting the new CoViD vaccine/booster, home visit with the director for the community program we’re getting D. into, more printing/collating/packing up zine orders, submitting work to more contests and magazines, a field trip with the kiddos to our favorite nearby park/stretch of woods, and performing at 100 Thousand Poets for Change.

So I asked Bard to take THESE LYRICS (When I Come Around By Green Day)

I heard you crying loud, all the way across town 'Cause you been searching for that someone And it's me out on the prowl As you sit around feeling sorry for yourself

Well, don't get lonely now, and dry your whining eyes I'm just roaming for the moment Sleazin' my back yard so don't get So uptight you been thinking about ditching me

No time to search the world around 'Cause you know where I'll be found When I come around

Well, I heard it all before, so don't knock down my door I'm a loser and a user so I don't need no accuser To try and slag me down because I know you're right

So go do what you like, make sure you do it wise You may find out that your self-doubt means nothing Was ever there You can't go forcing something if it's just not right

No time to search the world around 'Cause you know where I'll be found When I come around

No time to search the world around 'Cause you know where I'll be found When I come around

When I come around When I come around When I come around

and turn them into a short story, these are the results:

Sure, here is a short story based on the lyrics of the song "When I Come Around" by Green Day:

The girl sat on the edge of her bed, crying. She had been searching for him all day, but he was nowhere to be found. She knew he was out there somewhere, but she didn't know where.

She thought about all the times they had spent together. They had been inseparable for years, but lately, he had been distant. He would stay out late, and he would come home drunk. He would always have excuses, but she knew something was wrong.

She heard a noise outside her window, and she looked up. He was standing there, looking at her. He smiled, but she could tell that he was sad.

"I heard you crying," he said. "I'm sorry I'm not around more. I've been dealing with some stuff."

"I know," she said. "I'm worried about you."

"I'm okay," he said. "I just need some time to figure things out."

"Can I help?" she asked.

"Just be patient with me," he said. "I'll come around."

He kissed her on the forehead, and then he was gone. She sat there for a long time, thinking about what he had said. She knew that he loved her, but she also knew that he was going through a lot. She decided that she would be there for him, no matter what.

The next day, she went to his house. He was sitting on the front porch, drinking a beer. He smiled when he saw her, and he invited her in.

They talked for hours. He told her about his problems, and she listened patiently. She didn't judge him, and she didn't try to fix his problems. She just listened.

When it was time to go, he hugged her and thanked her for being there for him. She smiled and said, "I'm always here for you."

She knew that he was still going through a lot, but she also knew that he was on the right track. He had someone to lean on now, and he wasn't alone anymore.

The girl and the boy continued to see each other. They talked about their problems, and they supported each other. They learned to communicate better, and they learned to trust each other.

Over time, the boy started to heal. He started to feel better about himself, and he started to feel more hopeful about the future.

The girl was there for every step of the way. She was his rock, and she was his biggest supporter. She loved him unconditionally, and she knew that he would never hurt her.

The boy and the girl eventually got married, and they had a family. They lived happily ever after, and they never forgot the day that the girl cried loud, all the way across town.
