by Corey Taylor
Me? Well, if I live to see the troglodytes rise, I’ll make peace with this warrior asshole who has it out for civilization—hell, I might even have forgiven you by then. I do know that even though you are truly making me hate you, my evil passion won’t sustain itself very long. I totes heart chew guys (that sentence was for the younger kids). But until that glorious day I’ll just go on hating you, as my tired bare feet seek out the warmer stones, my eyes adjust to squinting all the time, and, in the quiet of the midday sun, I calmly wait for that genetic alien bomb in my head to go off, putting myself and all of you out of my misery.
Thanks for reading.
My name’s Corey Taylor.
Go home and fuck yourself.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
As always, there are so many people to thank and only so many fingers to count on, but I’ll give it a go, nonetheless! First off, my wonderful group of “Archetype Acolytes”: Uncle Tony, Brian and Casey, Dacia and Jimmy, my sister Jackie and those DAMN kids, Pam (Pand?), Sam (Sand?), The Band (The Bam?)—Jared, Bear Arms Drew, Andrew and Bruno, and, of course, Lady of the Face. You guys were all supertroopers! My buddy Strati Hovartos for the amazing photos; my sister Christine for making sure we looked great in said photos; Ben Schafer, Amber Morris, and everyone at Da Capo for their help and continued belief in me; Marc Gerald for getting me into this mess; Brennan, Diony, BoJo, Kimbo, and everyone at 5B (4B, 3B, and right on down the line); Gram and everyone else in my family—immediate, extended, and otherwise; the people of planet Earth who put the “Duh” in “Does this shirt make my ass look fat?”; last but not at all least … my wife, Stephanie, The Boss. I couldn’t do any of this without you. Thank you for being my muse and my lucky charm. I love you so much.
