Link: When I Use a Beard - Special International Edition- Keith Birthday!

Today I am featured on (Guts & Glitter) for being a guy with a beard who lives in Russia. All of my answers are 100% true.
Had to take/send the photos myself and it made me really nervous. Worried about the lighting/what plaid I should wear. Took a shower so I would look ‘not dirty’. Think it turned out okay-pretty good.
Sometimes I read G&G in order to try and understand women, not sure if it’s working. You should too. (read it here)
Poland I: Warsaw/Beatbox Maracas/Wait We Understand Polish?/Where the Milk Bars at?

part two in an apparently ongoing series about Keith Birthday’s recent travels through Europe. (part one here)
It was probably the most absurd thing that I had seen/heard in a while, the ‘DJ’ in this Warsaw basement bar was making a ‘shicka-shicka’ sound into the microphone in rhythm to the music, in what appeared a very lame attempt at beatboxing along with the music. At that point I wondered two things: a.) did he actually think that it sounded good? and b.) why on earth did he decide that the best sound to use in order to accompany the music was a half-assed maraca? Looking at K and the Australian and the other Australian they all seemed to agree, and we all imitated him and laughed…..(more)
Not Russian in Russia, trying to speak
Why am I here
In Russia?
In fucking Russia
I walk up the stairs wishing there was more that I could do
Than spit
I said let’s talk
She said no I don’t want to
I don’t understand this
I’m a foreigner I’m supposed to be interesting
But apparently I’m not and the Olympics are as
Far away as anyone who could count could guess
I want to be the strongest speaker
I want to dress like a Russian man
In everything black
And pretend I’m no different
Because this way I’ll never feel a part of it
The Italian girls
They say they like my curly hair
And I believe them
Because Italians seem honest
and I don’t trust the Russians.
‘Louise’ - Norwegian Arms

So I finally finished what I guess could be called my first release. There are four other songs on it besides this one. They cost whatever amount of money or goods you feel is fair to give me in exchange.
I guess you could call this song the ‘title track’ considering it is also called Louise. Either way, it’s about a cat that lives in my house. She looks like the cover.
I hope to put out newer/more relevant material in the near future (aka before I leave for Russia). I just have to get my butt in gear.
bye bye beardo
