Blogging: Some common misconceptions

Do you ever feel like your only whole when your on the blog ( as a verb not a noun)?
You know like when your not in, you're just meat flesh?
I mean, I can blog about almost anywhere, on the blog I'm the real me, and only then.

When I'm not im just a nobody, some lil alt kiddie who likes to think he's avant garde and can make some sort of difference, meaningfully or media-ingfully. You know?
I'm sure you do, you always get me.



Well what can I say its been a pretty pomo day, what with not sleeping and these kinda realizations surrounding me. Well its time for some sleep goodnite sweet blog.

Ever feel like a clone of your entire social circle?

Was checking myself out in the mirror extensively today
Came to a very important realization
I look the same as all my friends
Gone so far out of my way to stand out and be seen as an individual
That it just got out of hand
Starting to enter a phase of self-loathing
Possibly getting over my previously diagnosed condition of NPD (here)
Not sure what to do about this
Feeling worthless and lost
Wishing my girlfriend dressed like this so we might possibly stand out and be recognized as a unique+artistic+cultured couple
sigh


Study concludes no one actually likes Foo Fighters

CAMBRIDGE, MA--A recent study by Harvard University MBA students concludes that no one actually likes the Foo Fighters.  Three hours of polling just outside of the University's central courtyard brought in tens of opinions on the "not-so-dopeboy-fresh" band.

Students reported the results during ultimate frisbee practice and shocked many, including faculty members.  Harvard anthropologist Anton Tchetchel says, "I'm nutting everywhere!"  Clearly the results came as a surprise.

A little bit of Cali, a lot of feeling.

Although it's never in my best interest to visit Cali, I decided to stop by while I was nearby in New Mexico. Right before I got into town, thinking about where I'm going to stay, I get a long, drawn out invite via text from old friends Jake and Sara of Mevansa.



They aren't necessarily fun people, but I like their company because Tim killed himself to one of the songs on their demo, and we can all really relate about it. Staying with them for a weekend was so beyond any experiences I've had in Cali prior to this that I would call it magical. We made wicked sound as a threesome, freestyling tracks better than anything they've recorded. If you haven't already, check out their demo- it will never be as good as the unreleased stuff I've helped the two of them master, but the tracks they have available are sure to fill you.

They Say This Is The Place

Consumerism

Ever feel like you guys are victims of consumerism?

Today I bought a Coca-Cola product and the cashier looked at me like I was an asshole.

I felt guilty about being a victim of advertising.

So much that I didn't know what to do to recoil about it.

I just don't want to be like everyone else in the world
I needed a sugary drink that was carbonated but I didn't want it to go this far.
Please forgive me.

I am not a sheep in the herd of advertising.

I usually buy RC.

Am I still allowed in heaven?

No fidelity



It’s and age old secret of esoteric knowledge that the more mysterious, poorly recorded, melancholy, relatively obscure and surreal an album is, the better it is.

Objectively.

So delete that Matthew Good album you have, faggot. And download Iran’s The Moon Boys. They definitely have all of the above criteria down; the lyrics, when briefly breaching coherence, tell us stories about hating your lover(altest relationship), fading from existence (the altest way to go), and everything else you deal with on a day to day basis. The music itself is the time-tested formula of loud-quiet-loud, the quiet being downtrodden folk ballads, and the loud being dissonant noise experimentation. We don’t know anything about them other then that there are three of them (three, the altest number), they hail form San Francisco (4th altest town), and two of them may or may not look like this:

Look at those fucking beards(2nd altest faceal hair). That should be enough, really. Fading out is definitely a highlight.

Iran - The Moon Boys
1. Tee Hee
2. Four Armed Star
3. Locked Up Right
