Say hello to my little friends. I’ve decided to name them Tony & Manolo.
Two weeks ago a bunch of friends asked me “Rok, are you going to Supernature?”
I was like “Nah, I think I’ll stay in BK and permanently disfigure myself”
Sadly, it’s not even a good story. No cool bike accident, no “you should see the other guy” situation - just the dumbest thing I’ve ever done. On Friday 7/25 I was headed back from an all vinyl gig when the handle on my record bag completely detached. Instead of doing the smart thing & immediately calling a cab, I attempted to push it on wheels to my house which was only a few blocks away. A tall person with an awkward center of gravity should never attempt such a feat & as soon as I hit a crack in the pavement, I lost my balance & was propelled face first into the concrete. Blood was everywhere & I stumbled into the local bodega, where I was given various bandages which held me together until my quick thinking friend
@madebyida rushed me to the hospital. S/O to the wonderful
@misshapselam for visiting me in the ER. 2 hours & 3 stitches later I was patched up & homeward bound, grateful to still have an eye (which I could have easily lost), access to medical care & amazing people who got my back. I’m not gonna lie tho, as soon as they handed me the mirror I was like “my god, I’m a monster!” Navigating this new reality isn’t going to be easy for me. For years I’ve been relying on my dashing good looks, but those days are over. From now on it seems as though I’m going to have to get by on actual talent - a scenario I hadn’t planned for. I’m prepared to give it a shot tho, so If you’d like to check out my new look, stop by
@lovesclubnyc this Friday 8/8. I’ll understand if you can’t bear to look at me, but the important thing is how I sound right? If anything, just focus on
@djdannywhite - he’s still pretty!
PS: In all seriousness, don’t worry about me. I’m totally fine now & the wounds are mostly healed. Compared to the unspeakable horrors some people are experiencing, a few annoying scars really ain’t sh*t. I don’t need sympathy - just wanted to explain why I might look a little different the next time you see me. ✌️
