Faith, Dirty Grace, and a Whole Lotta Whiskey, Regret, and Resurrection.
Visit my domain to dive face-first into the wild ride of my brain — a mashup of raw truths, dirty jokes, mental fistfights, and midnight rambles you didn’t know you needed.
Saint Dirty Face. Imperfect on purpose. Faithful with fangs. Here to spill it all, laugh at the absurd, and maybe light a match under your too-comfortable chair.
But here’s the truth: read it backwards and you see the weapons, not the wounds.
⚔️ The Counter-Killers
Decisions kill overthinking. A single choice is a bullet to the swarm in your skull. Opportunities kill excuses. Open the damn door and the alibis scatter. Growth kills comfort. Rip yourself out of the couch-coffin. Relationships kill ego. Pride doesn’t fit in the room when you choose someone else over yourself. Self-worth kills comparison. You stop bleeding when you quit staring at somebody else’s highlight reel. Success kills procrastination. Momentum strangles tomorrow-man in his sleep.
Being a Pisces isn’t some cute little “two fish swimming in harmony” story. Nah. It’s more like having two lunatics chained up in the same skull, fighting for the steering wheel while your life barrels downhill with no brakes.
Person One: The Surgeon.
Cold. Surgical. Brilliant. This one calculates risks like a Wall Street shark on Adderall. Always whispering logic, strategy, clean lines of survival. The one that says, “Hey, maybe don’t text your ex at 3 AM. Maybe don’t buy that guitar when rent’s due. Maybe don’t start a fight with the guy twice your size just because he looked at you sideways.”
Person Two: The Arsonist.
This one doesn’t whisper—he screams. He lights matches in the rain just to see if the fire loves him back. He’s the one that says, “Screw rent, we need that guitar. Text the ex, it’ll be funny. Punch that guy, your knuckles miss the taste of chaos.”
And here’s the curse: both voices sound convincing. Both feel like you. One keeps you alive. The other makes sure life feels worth surviving. Together they drag you into brilliance and ruin, sometimes in the same damn night.
That’s Pisces. Not fish—more like a coin tossed endlessly in the dark. One side is genius. The other? Beautiful disaster. And somehow… you’re addicted to both.
Content warning: existential hangover, mild blasphemy, and the kind of dark humor that smells like old whiskey.
There’s a song that sits in the corner of the room and quietly smokes the curtains while you pretend you don’t notice. It hums the same note you wake up to: a small, steady panic that wants out. Blind Melon made the whisper into a hymn — “get me out of here” as a prayer, not a demand. I hear that and I hear something else: a blueprint for people who survived too many nights and still have receipts for every scar.
Picture this: fluorescent lights humming like broken hymns. You’ve got your knees hugged to your chest, the ceiling is doing close-ups on your failures, and somewhere behind you someone with soft hands keeps cataloguing your life like it’s a display model. That feeling — where memory gets stolen and you’re left holding the receipts for someone else’s day — that’s where this song lives.
Saint Dirty Face isn’t asking for escape like a tourist wants a weekend — he’s asking for permission to be a mess in peace. He wants a corner of the world where “time” isn’t a currency account, where pain clocks out early and sanity takes a nap. He wants ninety seconds of mercy, and the universe keeps giving him surveillance.
So what do you do when the watchers won’t leave? You make allies with the things they can’t understand: the awkward silence between sermons, the cigarette smoke of your own doubts, the tiny rituals that keep you tethered to yourself — prayer, song, a middle finger to the fluorescent god. You laugh because if you don’t, you’ll cry, and crying is bad for the mascara, the dented pride, and the optics.
This is a dark love letter to that voice inside that says, you’re watched, you’re worn, you’re still breathing — and that’s a miracle. It’s a nod to the teens who wanted sixteen and free and to the grown men who still wake in the night trying to remember who they were before the world started taking names. It’s also a plea: leave me the hell alone so I can find the small things that let me survive — a stupid guitar riff, a sunbeam on a dented coffee pot, the five seconds when the ceiling looks like a sky.
If you feel seen by the watching eyes, good. You’re in the right pew. If you feel like you’ve lost the map of who you were, even better — that’s where the interesting work starts. Keep the prayer short. Keep the jokes darker than your coffee. And when the watchers lean in, whisper back: I’m not yours to fix. I’m mine to keep.
Every day in public health feels like watching a slow-motion car crash directed by idiots who think they’re brilliant. Today’s episode? Reduction in force—a polite little phrase for “let’s axe the people who actually know what the hell they’re doing.”
We’re talking folks with 5, 7, and even 10 plus years of tenure, shown the door like they’re disposable coffee filters. Then, like a cosmic punchline, their positions magically reopen so some newbie can be hired at half the pay, no loyalty, and a 50/50 shot they’ll quit after two months.
Genius, right? Morons in charge. Morons on parade.
It started with a 20% funding cut. Then—surprise!—reduced to 5%. But instead of recalibrating, the overlords double down: “Still gotta make reductions!”
Translation: “We don’t have a clue, but hey, let’s keep pretending we do.”
So now it’s me watching leadership light the place on fire while sipping a beer and thinking: this isn’t survival of the fittest, it’s survival of the dumbest.
And the people who really suffer? Not us. Not them. The patients.
Because when you gut experience, you gut care. When you replace grit with revolving-door hires, you trade public health for public hazard.
But what do I know? I’m just the guy in the ashes, watching the circus, calling it like I see it.
Look, some folks read How to Win Friends and Influence People. Me? I read How to Haunt Their Thoughts Rent-Free.
Here’s your Monday PSA: if you’re gonna be stuck in society’s little circus, you might as well keep the monkeys guessing.
5. The Compliment With Teeth
Tell someone, “You look great today.”
Then, lean in and add: “You don’t hear that often, do you?”
Boom. That’s not kindness, that’s a landmine. They’ll be checking mirrors all day wondering if you meant it or if you just tattooed insecurity on their soul.
4. The Predator Stare
In a group conversation, pick your victim. Lock eyes. Don’t blink. Don’t smile.
Everyone else is chatting, but you’re channeling the spirit of a crow perched on their tombstone.
Eventually, they’ll look away—because primal fear doesn’t lie. And then? They’ll wonder why the hell you were looking at them like they just confessed to something.
3. Emotional Sniper Fire
When someone comes at you hot—loud, angry, chest puffed—don’t raise your voice. Step close. Too close. Hold their gaze.
Wait three beats. Whisper: “Why are you so emotional right now?”
Congratulations, you’ve flipped the script. They were the aggressor, now they’re the crazy one. It’s not just a mind game—it’s psychological waterboarding with a smirk.
2. The Forehead Mystery
When someone’s talking, don’t look them in the eyes. Instead, fixate on their forehead like it’s broadcasting secret alien coordinates. Smile. Just a little.
Watch them slowly disintegrate mid-sentence, checking if there’s mustard, blood, or an invisible horn sprouting. They’ll never recover their confidence again.
1. The Lip Curse
This one’s dark magic. Tell someone: “Don’t you hate when people lick their lips too much?”
Then shut up. Nine out of ten people will instantly lick their lips—proving they’re nothing but puppets wired with cheap strings.
You? You’re the puppeteer, Saint Dirty Face, making marionettes out of mortals.
Final Thought
The moral of the story?
Kindness is cool. But sometimes, chaos is cooler.
So go forth, sprinkle doubt, and make Monday just a little weirder.
You let me stay up too late, then made sure I woke up late. The house looks like a crime scene—dishes, clothes, chaos—because no one lifts a finger unless I bark orders. And when I bark? Oh, suddenly I’m the villain.
So here I am, rushing out the door for groceries, muttering at your smug face. And just behind you, I see Monday—grinning like a bastard, waiting to bite.
