Metric: Synthetica

Speed the Collapse


"Pushed away, I'm pulled toward
A comedown of revolving doors.
Every warning we ignored,
Drifting in from distant shores.
The wind presents a change of course,
A second reckoning of sorts.
We were wasted, waiting for
A comedown of revolving doors

"Fate don't fail me now!
(Oh-oh-oh-oh!)

"And when the days that followed past,
In another mansion built to last,
From our window we could see
Only possibilities,
Down the road and back."

⸺ Emily Haines/Metric; "Speed The Collapse"; Synthetica (2012)

Posted for a friend, who's not feeling on top of her game, and whom I think could really benefit from establishing herself here instead of remaining in the Fartloaf sewer.

Great White Snark
Great White Snark

I'm currently seeking fixed employment as a S/W & Web developer (C# & ASP .NET MVC, PHP 8+, Python 3), hoping to stash the farmed fiat and go full Crypto, quit the 07:30-18:00 grind. Unsigned music producer; snarky; white; balding; smashes Patriarchy.

SW/Web developer: ~12 years of C# (yay!) & ASP .Net MVC, Java (blargh!), Python (woot!) experience. I'm currently hitting faucets and writing for crypto to stake/invest . | I work part-time with animals. Sadly, my cerebellum and medulla oblongata aren't Einsteinian in proportion. However, I possess a Brobdingnagian vocabulary and get by with being a barbigerous logophile. I can probably write you into bed, if smashing Capitalism and Patriarchy turns you on. Kink is political!
