i don’t know what’s next.

i keep refreshing like the universe owes me a sign.
nothing but dead air.
no gods. no guides.
just the hum of “not yet”
buzzing like a broken tube TV.

Splice the myth.
Recode the wound.

From the 2011 installation Psychedelic Sublime, this piece still feels like prophecy wrapped in parody. Jay Hollick performed I Believe I Can Fly in a headband, kimono, and full autotune glory.

Hulk Hogan’s fall was messy. Racism, lawsuits, bad takes.
But I grew up with the myth, not the man.
They say don’t meet your heroes. I guess that includes YouTube leaks.
This one’s about wrestling, theater, and belief.

Hulk Hogan just died.
A sentence that hits like a steel chair to the nostalgia cortex.
He was our muscle-bound messiah—ripped shirt, yellow trunks, and enough charisma to body slam reality.
He turned heel when we needed it most. Then he got weird. But for a while? He was it.
