a toast

"Let us toast to animal pleasures, to escapism, to rain on the roof and instant coffee, to unemployment insurance and library cards, to absinthe and good-hearted landlords, to music and warm bodies and contraceptives... and to the 'good life,' whatever it is and wherever it happens to be."
~ Hunter S. Thompson

uh yeah, disregard this

soo... i feel like im going to get chewed out for posting this... it's pretty lame. but, im feeling pretty lame and i thought it was kind of nice to read. also: don't ask why i read the blog it came from

"Abruptly and awkwardly you kiss her right into her smile and maybe, sort of, that smile turns into a kiss for a bit then she pulls away, but not that far. You can't even tell if you're about to get the friends vibe or not. She laughs gracefully and says your name in between the ha has. You were the Fonze but now you're Richie Cunningham so fast. Like the birds in Hitchcock, your friends descend upon you laughing and play-fighting and asking the eternal party refrain: "Where are we going now?" But you can't hear a thing at all, like in the Daft Punk video with the Dog Boy when the sound gets muffled in the fridge."

this is also a nice one here
its from someone else tho
"Lucas Kuzma's mouse-position predictor tracks the movement of the cursor across the screen and offers predictions about where it will go next. The site appropriates the language of science and statistics ("expected vector," "weighted average," "standard deviation") as it purports to predict the unpredictable: the next decision of a free, impulsive human being. Kuzma's splash page raises issues of free will and determinism, as well as surveillance and privacy, since it reminds us that every movement on the internet is recorded. It is representative of the artist's interest in generative systems and their potential to create organic action."

frankie wilde and anatomy of pitchfork

I read this blog post just a couple seconds ago:
anatomy-of-a-pitchfork-record-review-or-diagnosing


I have no idea who any of the bands they reference are... but the review of the review is really sweet and I really dig the way the writer breaks it down. Very cool.

Also!
These fuckers totally stole my idea:
mixtapes
no, not really but i really do think tapes are great and that this is a wicked idea. and i cant say i dig it being that nauseating valentines day gimmick. but! it would be cool to go to a tape party where everyone brings a mixtape and then everyone just listens to mixtapes all night. that way we could take our eyes off the dj for one second and realize that there are all these great people on all sides.
not that i dont want to frankie wilde from it's all gone pete tong for one day, but... you know.

gaaah!

"my gloomy machine" mixes

two mixes by a good friend of mine on his myspace i just downloaded.

http://www.myspace.com/mygloomymachine

he used to go under the name mithra and produced a shit load of awesome stuff under that name as well. (my fav album of his is called nightmares death but my favorite songs are "stealing souls from machines" [cant find this one on the web. fuck!] and "blessed and blissed" [he's on ill and waw and sociopath])
he told me to download his illphabetik and weirdandwired mixes:

weirdandwired mix
illphabetik mix
[they're both temp links so get em while they're hot]

im going to listen to them tomorrow, in the meantime, im sure you can make your own decision whether you like them or not. they should be good, he's a wicked guy.

what do you do?

[edit: turns out that bit i just deleted may not have been true. oops]

what do you do when your "friends" hold that shit over your head and try to make themselves feel good for being your friend because they say "a lot of people hate you" at your school?
[edit: what do you to your blog once they apologize?]

nothing. that's what im going to do. just keep to my own and not bother with all the bullshit drama. we're not in fucking high school. this isn't fucking "cute", it's stupid. i wish everybody would just grow the fuck up and/or leave me the fuck alone.
[edit: this still applies ;) ]

jpegs of nude women on floppy discs...

"should I buy a vintage Windows 3.1 computer, play Ski Free all day, ‘jerk off’ to JPGs of nude women on floppy discs, and then ‘off myself’?"
-Carles


wow. good question.

bleh

I dont want to go to sleep. and i dont want to stay awake.
i want to work on my music video. i want to release this album. the music is ready, its just sitting and waiting for everything else to be done.
i wish it was warm. i want a cigarette. and a coffee. i dont want it to be night time. i want to stay awake forever and not be tired and grumpy.

i feel like my fucking blog sounds like this: http://www.hipsterrunoff.com
i wish it wouldnt. i wish i could say whatever the fuck i wanted and i wouldnt feel like i'm being judged. or rather, i wish i had the courage to not care if i was being judged.

i want this shirt.
