For the past year and change, Timothy Johnson had been out around the US compiling footage for a video project that never came to be. Nevertheless, everything in the digital bank was finally cut together in double feature fashion with that amassed by his friend Cody Cepeda for a debut on the Berrics. Because I'm a slow learner, I also just realized why the Berrics is often referred to as the "Berries" in certain parts of the worldwideweb—it's an autocorrect thing. No relation to small, pulpy, and often edible fruit whatsoever. Anyway, congratulations Timmy. Smoke 'em if you got 'em [1]!

1. While I abused this phrase as a cheap promotional throw to Timmy's current "Cigar" model, it's actually slang that's typically slung for "Do what you want, if you have the means." Frankly, that sounds a bit disconcerting in say the Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos billionaire sense, because those two singalongs—ha! autocorrect just keeps them coming, as I initially typed "dingalings," but singalongs ain't so far off the nutty mark either—have long since departed Earth's gravitational pull of reality. If you really want to get brass tacks and google about it, "smoke 'em if you got 'em" first enjoyed popularity in the US military during WWII, meaning "to take a break." Speaking of which, I should really lay off the Wikipedia regurgitations and just stick to off-the-cuff promo shtick, because really: Who gives a shit?

2. Gotcha! There wasn't a second footnote. But good on you for doing the distance (especially if you get this chapbook quip).
