MJP...

[Josh Rock]

In regards to Bukowski being my religion. that was somewhat meant as a joke but at the same time its somewhat true. Buk has taken over my life completely. you want me to list the books that made me come to this conclusion? Read Post Office twice now. Women reading the second time. Ham on Rye once (didn't like this one as much because he gets picked on and the shit kicked out of him by his dad but yea, still great book) Factotum once. I own the movies Factotum, Born into This. and of course Barfly. read most of his autobiograghy, the one that all you probably read, sorry its upstairs cant think of who wrote it. read most of Hot Water Music. Read all of South of No North and loved it! read all of the most beautiful woman in town and loved it. and most of the other short stories except im half way through Notes of a Dirty Old man. but you see then I started discovery his poetry and now I can't even get to anything else cause his poetry is so fucking amazing!!! now own and read 50 pages of Day Run Away... Read all of Love is a Dog... and LOVE IT! I love Burning in Water Downing in Flame... and my favorite that I am still in the middle of is Mockingbird Wish Me Luck. sometimes, I only like to read a few poems a day because its so good I don't want to read through it all and be done with it yet. I want to leave something left to the imagination, know that its still fresh and new to me. so yea, in the last two years Buk has become my religion, that and Hockey, and Punk Rock... But shit, most of you have probably already read most of what I have, so its still exciting for me to be where I am at. I won't stop until I own every piece of work he ever wrote. I can read all his books for free on my colleges database but I rather buy them all and be able to hold them in my hand, plus he is that good and that entertaining and sometimes he reminds me a bit of myself.

as for the comment about asking MJP to read my stuff. It took a lot of courage to even ask him for that and he was an ass in how he treated me so, I don't care who else has been hear and what they have said. I am a different person then all those wanna be writers. I have been known for 13 years now in music anyhow and I just thought he treated me kinda shitty. After all I have been honestly trying to be the guys friend ever since I came here. not for personal gain. I'd be honored if he just read my book and said good luck! or no I'm too busy or whatever but he had to answer me like he was an opera snob.

and you asked how do I know my book is so good? well I've got this contract with another writer who won an Emmy... and everyone loves my songs and other stories... so. shit the kids on the Fall Out Boy message board used to get pissed at me when I didn't post or share my stories.

the thing is, I am a forgiving Punk Rock God haha. I forgive MJP and would still be his friend... shit maybe if he was nice I'd help him with his stuff.

I'm a recluse, its hard for me to talk about my works... its hard for me to talk to anyone. I've had my share of attention and its pretty scary, its too much at times. I had a stalker once even too. but anyways, when I am provoked or belittled is the only time I will actually put someone in their place and let them know yea, you're so and so okay that's cool you don't need to be a dick about it but I'm Josh Rock, only one of the most famous rock stars on planet earth. I won't hesitate to put someone in their place, hell even Pete Wentz hasn't been free from my wrath over the years.

So, yea if you wanna talk shit to me it just gets me going. if you don't and you want to be friendly, I can also be the nicest guy too. either way, back to BUK!

I hope all of you are having a wonderful day! and to settle things. When I am done with the novel you can all read it for free, ill fucking email it to you. but never in a million years do I want anyone thinking that is why I came to this place. I really could care less if any of you read my stuff. I probably prefer that you don't cause when it comes down to it, I don't care. There's other people that will promote that shit for me and I hate talking about it or bringing it up. I rather here all about what you all are up to...

anyhow, i've said enough! just be nice and I will too!

your friend,
joshua

Whatever happened to the Joshua Oukrust that I fell in love with last summer? The one who was so tender and fully shaved. I remember once when I was fucking you in the Popeye's Fried Chicken parking lot, you even cried. I thought that was so adorable. Now look at you. You're riding a high horse with your ultra fame and worldwide notoriety. Where is the sweet boy who used to wash my balls and iron my shirts? I miss him. I don't know who this monster is who has taken his place.

 

[justine]

I am a different person then all those wanna be writers. I have been known for 13 years now in music anyhow and I just thought he treated me kinda shitty.

see, this reads like "i should be treated better because i am SO WELL KNOWN in the music industry". that seems pretty snobby to me. you're a better person because you're supposedly a big shot in the music business??

I'm Josh Rock, only one of the most famous rock stars on planet earth

sorry, but i have honestly never heard of you. i'd be surprised if anyone here as ever heard of you. maybe you're a big name in your 'scene' but that doesn't equate to being one of the most famous rock stars on the planet.

When I am done with the novel you can all read it for free, ill fucking email it to you. but never in a million years do I want anyone thinking that is why I came to this place.

There's other people that will promote that shit for me and I hate talking about it or bringing it up.

you just keep contradicting yourself: you say you don't want any attention, but instead of privately asking mjp to read your novel, you post a public thread about it. AND you offer everyone a chance to read it. BUT then you say that you'd prefer people DIDN'T read it...

i don't know you. i don't know what kind of person you really are. but the IMPRESSION you are giving a lot of people here is that you're pretty self-congratulatory, not genuinely interested in anything except self-promotion, and kind of immature.

 

[hoochmonkey9]

I'm pretty sure Josh Rock is Joaquin Phoenix, off on another one of his 2 year long "art projects" that no one really cares about in the end. except Joaquin Rock. or Josh Phoenix. or Phoenix Josh Roaquin.

Oh, mjp, you simply must stop this merciless attack on the intellectual prowess and writing talents of poor Josh Rock. While it is true that for a time I supported, and yes, even contributed to the battle, I now see that it was all a waste as there can be no battle when only one side has the ammunition. Let's just try to be unbiased and wait for the email of Josh's novel, which should show up around the same time Fed Ex ships us those WMDs we ordered so long ago.

Also, if you don't stop making me laugh so hard I'm going to choke on my Popeye's.

Nix my last post. Somehow I overlooked it. hoochmonkey9, you have solved the mystery (I honestly have spent a bit of time trying to figure it all out). So much better to know the truth.

Except for now I'm the one who has egg on my face. Oh well. Good job, Joaquin! It was a pleasure to meet you! I loved you in "Parenthood"!

Ah, so there's other people than us that will promote the shit? That's great, because I don't really think anybody here is interested in promoting it, but thanks for thinking we would.

 

[Kisa2674]

And I'm pretty sure the 100 "friends" that'll be reading the novel are. . ..

Very impressive, Stavrogin, and probably spot-on with the exception of Waldo. He is simply impossible to find. . .

 

[hoochmonkey9]

...Yertle the Turtle...

I think Yertle is busy on James Franco's latest "art project."

 

[ROC]

you want me to list the books that made me come to this conclusion?

No.

I want you to choke on your sunglasses.

You're a tool.

 

[informal]

Reminds me of someone from a Justin Bieber Forum or even worse a Fall Out Boy Forum. That being said, I used to play bass guitar with the guy from Fall Out Boy in High School, he was an okay kid. I am also having Justin Biebers producer mess with my stuff, fingers crossed.

nothing sadder than a narcissist with nothing to be narcissistic about...

 

[Josh Rock]

no actually there is plenty to be.

Whatever happened to the Joshua Oukrust that I fell in love with last summer? The one who was so tender and fully shaved. I remember once when I was fucking you in the Popeye's Fried Chicken parking lot, you even cried. I thought that was so adorable. Now look at you.

I don't know who this monster is who has taken his place.

Hey MJP, you are the one that awakened the beast! remember you were the one that was ultra rude FIRST! I have to defend my honor! Look at everyone trying to put me in my place. now that's funny! you all did it in such a tasteful, tackful way too! I am so proud of all of you!

I love how everyone likes to question my fame, don't do it, it just gets me more riled up. You'll just stir me up even more, and then ill be reminding you that Hulk Hogan's manager takes my calls and such... I mean it could get worse I could tell you about Pete Wentz offering to have sex with me... or that I recorded with a guy who produced a Britney Spears song... but you know you have to really start digging for me to throw my fame in your face. like I said, I can be a dick when someone is rude first, which MJP was. or I can be the nicest guy ever.

MJP you prefer me to be Joshua Oukrust? I can be that dude, but I try not to because that dude is more famous than Josh Rock... but hey if you like the guy who is related to the King of Norway and all then thats cool. or Kjell and Olav Aukrust the famous Norwegian poets. do I have to mention that they have an Aukrust Center in Norway for you to want to be my friend? I mean come on, Oprah loves you! I only went out to Blues fest with her editor once, so you got me beat there.

Remember, our dear friend Charles didn't like people either, now I can see why! he would have loved me, you guys I don't know so much, you need to really lighten up a bit and stop taking life so serious. everyone is something, but that's just who I am. so you know, next time you wanna get loose with the tongue on good deed doer Josh Rock who has made all your lives better in some ways... maybe you'll think twice before you wake the Beast!

your friend,
joshua

yeah I know I am a contradiction. sometimes I run from the dream, sometimes I seek it.

Ah, so there's other people than us that will promote the shit? That's great, because I don't really think anybody here is interested in promoting it, but thanks for thinking we would.

when I said other people will promote it, I meant publishers or people that get paid to do that shit. trust me I don't expect a thing from any of you super writers.

No.

I want you to choke on your sunglasses.

You're a tool.

I bet you want to choke on something else.

 

[bospress.net]

I love how you talk about how famous you are and then mention people that you know that know other people that almost no one here has any idea who they are. I mean, if your claim to greatness is hanging out with Oprah's editor or a guy who produced a Britney Spears song. Then there is Hulk Hogan's manager. That really is scraping the bottom of the barrel. Do you know Liza Minelli's hairdresser's landlord too? That is the connection that you need to name drop in Hollywood.

In a few years you will look back in embarrassment about how you bragged, in a public forum, about how you know people who work with people that no one gives two shits about. You can back away from your childish rants, but this forum post will stay up FOREVER.

It is amusing, though.

[mjp]

maybe you'll think twice before you wake the Beast!

Wake the beast? It looks more like the puppy's nap has been disturbed...just saying.

 

[hoochmonkey9]

if you like the guy who is related to the King of Norway.... or Kjell and Olav Aukrust the famous Norwegian poets.... Aukrust Center in Norway...

well, that clears everything up.

Josh Rock is Thor.

First of all I don't need to brag how I know everyone. Everyone knows me. if you only knew who came to the house, or spent the night... and the girls... pffff.

I don't need to brag about anything, I'm the coolest guy who ever existed, plain and simple. it doesn't really get much better than that! and someone else came up with that but I won't drop the name.

trust me, it gets better too!

anyways, ill let you get back to your little forum!

you wanna hate me but you love me!

Wake the beast? It looks more like the puppy's nap has been disturbed...just saying.

see that's why I like you!

 

[Hosh]

Why do you need to impress us? Honestly, we're not worth your time...

 

[mjp]

I'm the coolest guy who ever existed, plain and simple. and someone else came up with that but I won't drop the name.

I know who it is. TV's Nipsey Russell.

 

[1fsh2fsh]

josh rock for president 2012!

 

[Josh Rock]

Why do you need to impress us? Honestly, we're not worth your time...

you guys are awesome as fuck! you guys even told me off with class! makes me love you even more!

I know who it is. TV's Nipsey Russell.

ok it was Tj. Minich ex Knockout/ Spitalfield bassist. filled in for Pete Wentz when he was in the mental hospital once too... haaa.

josh rock for president 2012!

I don't know if they would elect a pot head rocker guy. even though I do sit around and think of ways to make world peace all day, I'm too quick to be like Fuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

nothing sadder than a narcissist with nothing to be narcissistic about...

trust me, there's plenty of reasons! but its just not the way I am.

 

[esart]

Someone came to my website and filled out my contact form, claiming he was Charles Bukowski. His message was "FUCK YOU" and I think this was none other than Josh Rock. So he is indeed a real person who says he is a nice guy, but is really a meanie. You are a mean, mean boy Joshie. Don't come into my sandbox and poop on my toys.

 

[mjp]

ok it was Tj. Minich ex Knockout/ Spitalfield bassist. filled in for Pete Wentz when he was in the mental hospital once too... haaa.

No, no, no - stick with Nipsey Russell. More people know who he is.

 

[Gerard K H Love]

Okay, Josh Rock is a "real" person with a real head the size of a pumpkin.

Pumpkins come in many sizes and some people launch them over fields in Delaware on a TV show.

Josh, I want to read your book but think about what you are doing here. It just seems out of place if you know what I mean. So have a nice day.

 

[Bruno Dante]

All the forums I go on seem to attract the odd attention-seeking sad sack from time-to-time. Nice to see this place is no exception ;)

 

[Digney in Burnaby]

On second thought, never mind.

 

[hank solo]

I can't handle all this excitement. Thread closed.
