If you are in the RI/Mass area come on out on Aug 24th to Dusk in Providence for a great show for a great cause! My crew, The Gentlemen, will be hosting a Night For Warrior show; a concert of great awesome local bands where all proceeds will go to the Wounded Warrior Project (www.woundedwarriorproject.org)

Say no to greed, and say yes to personal freedoms and peace in our time.....

With it pretty much certain that our man Ron Paul will not get the GOP nomination, we here at Drunken Absurdity officially endorse Gary Johnson, the Libertarian Party candidate, for President of the United States. Governor Johnson is a good man, with a great background in both business and state government; and is very much a "Ron Paul Libertarian". Do the right thing, America. We are not a two-party system, you HAVE another choice!

two mouths are better than one...

i want my job back...my real one that I left in May of 2009 for all the wrong reasons

Happy Birthday America......For one day today, try and forget the hypocrisies of Obamacare, the slimy shenanigans of Romney, the deceit and corruption of numerous elected officials; and remember that America is not a person, or a political party, or a religion, or a state. America is a piece of paper that begins with 3 simple words, We The People, and that paper is backed by 230+ plus years of art, literature, culture, bravery, and amazing feats of science, medicine, and the arts. Don't let the actions of any politician, group, or even state let you lose sight of that; we are an idea, a way of thinking, that can never be destroyed no matter how corrupt and evil our government or corporations become; because they are not America. We are. Get drunk, get high, eat hot dogs, and blow shit up. Happy 4th.....

Several months ago, before our good friend and Drunken Absurdity ally Shelby Devine relocated back to the Midwest, I was acting as a manger of sorts for her in regards to finding more mainstream acting and modeling gigs outside of her already well established career as an exotic dancer and adult model. I was approached in that aspect by RI filmmaker Derek Dubois about Shelby being featured in a documentary film he was filming about the subgenre of porn

known as Jerk Off Instruction.

Going to support Shelby at the shoot and watching Derek and his crew work on the film was an absolute awesome experience. So, check out the film, and look up Derek on his site Derek Dubois to see more of his amazing work.

99% of the people who read my work, or are fans of Drunken Absurdity, have no idea that I am a father of three wonderful children. And there is a reason for that. I keep that part of my personal life very private and separated from my role as a gonzo writer and grit poet. You will never see me post pictures of my kids, write articles about my kids.....It is simply a part of my life that I have no desire to share with the masses. Some folks out there on the interwebs cannot stop posting pics or blogging about their kids. They have Tumblr pages filled with stupid crap that should not be in a public forum, and that disgusts me.

But I digress. Father's Day is a special day for me, simply because I had TWO fathers bail on me in life, a natural father and a step-father. Neither taught me a thing about how to be a man. So when I think of fathers to be appreciative of, I think of my maternal grandfather, James Valentine Stewart. He was a man's man. WWII Marine combat vet, police officer for 45 years, father of 6: To me he was the epitome of manhood, a true warrior. He smoked 2 packs a day until his 70s, wore slacks and a tie just to go to the store, ate a pile of red meat daily; and died at a very ripe old age in a warm bed surrounded by his loved ones and friends. Very few lifetime warriors get to go out in such a way. When I was growing up, I was the oldest of many kids, and never liked being around the chaos of my house. So many nights, I would go down the street to Pop's house. We would sit in his immaculate living room, eating roast beef and red cabbage and rye bread, while he smoked a mountain of cigarettes and we watched WWII movies. That was my youth, and his stoic stories of war and policing the streets of New York City formed my very soul, the very backbone of my manliness.

So I am now a father of my own, and it is something I love more than words can describe. It is a hard job, harder than war on some days, and it is one that leaves me fulfilled and content with the chaotic indifference of the universe. In my role as the Pater Familias, I have to constantly exert my authority against She Who Will Not Be Named in order to keep my role as pater familias for 2 of my 3 children secure and sound. My children are smart, they are talented, and the successes and accolades they have coming in life will be worth every headache. Sometimes I catch myself being harder on my son, punishing him a bit more often and with slightly harsher punishments. My wife sometimes thinks that I am just being mean I suspect, but that is the farthest thing from the truth. I am harder on him, because one day he will be a man, and will be expected to have the stomach, heart, and balls to defend his country, protect his family, and lead them through a world that daily is growing scarier and chaotic. Regardless, when I look in the eyes of my children, I see the fire in them that has burned within me since birth; the fire to learn, and create, and change the world. And I do not doubt their ability to do just that whatsoever, I know they will not be resigned to a life of mediocrity and minimum wage. For they are Schirling.

Happy Father's day to the real men who truly know what it is to be a pater familias.

Fucking Stoked! After just a little under a year of being a Maker's Mark Ambassador, my barrel of bourbon has been poured, my name stamped on it, and has begun its long slumber in the distillery. In about 7-8 years, my bottle will be ready!!!!

Adam Schirling got a blogging award?????

>> Tuesday, June 12, 2012

Big thanks to Anthony Venutolo, the flash fiction and noir genius behind the always amazing Bukowski's Basement for bestowing upon me the Kreativ Blogger Award. As per the rules of the award, I must now share 10 things about myself and then pass the award on to 3 other awesome souls....So here ya go..

1) I shower sitting down.....I like to relax, but baths disgust me and I get cold in them.

2) I fucking hate cats

3) I can't eggs without ketchup, even on a sandwich

4) A medium rare filet mignon and glass of scotch is my favorite meal ever

5) I once let my wife put a small dildo in my ass when I was drunk. No Regrets.

6) I seldom wear pants at home

7) I can read faster than 98% of people in the US

8) I went through a phase were I masturbated daily in my car during my morning commute

9) I am a veteran of both the US Navy and Marine Corps, and have spent 21 months in a combat zone, 14 of them actually in the infantry.

10) I cannot begin eating my food until the movie I'm watching starts....

So, there ya have it. I am a fucking weirdo...And I now bestow the award to 3 fucking sweet folks:

*Jacey Lane-Deville is a featured writer on Drunken Absurdity, and the owner of 2 awesome blogs, Poison Girl and her author profile blog. She is dark, and funny, and cool as hell.

*Courtney Marie Schirling so, yea yea, she is my wife so I am biased, but my baby is smart, funny, and a talented blogger. She has recently re-focused her goals from a fashion blogger to a minimalist lifestyle blogger, and her accounts of this journey are a great read.

*Ben John Smith is one of my closest friends in the world. This Australian grit poet is the brains and balls behind the amazing ezine/mag Horror Sleaze Trash. He is the tits, and I hope one day I can be half as good as a poet as he is. I am looking forward to years of working with Ben on countless projects.
