Shut up and move, damnit. Right now. You heard me. PRESS PLAY. The night is misspent youth waiting to happen; it’s a buxom scantily-clad pining for bourbon, and you better purr back, or I sure as hell will.

You’re fed and fed up. Boxers and a faded tanktop from 1973. Crank the fucking speakers, dummy. The house is empty; the roommates are gone. Let loose. Rip off your shirt. Kick off your shoes. Jump on the coffee table. Throw DVDs, one-two-twenty, like Frisbees until they smear the walls lipstick-red. Lip-sync into one of 38 empty bottles. Make up a band. Just be somebody. You’re better than you. You’re Switchblade John. You’re Hickory Jones. You’re the fucking pope of awesome ’cause you’re 24 and it’s Saturday night. Just shut the fuck up already. Seriously.

Shut up and move.

Note: As a band name, I think Switchblade John and the Thin-Lipped Escapades >> Margot and the Nuclear So and So’s. (But maybe that’s the bourbon talking).
