“You and your love of bullshit deserts.”

It’s just pictures for the sake of pictures. Pictures of food you’re never going to eat, cats you’re never going to be nuzzled/eaten by (I don’t know much about cats), clouds that aren’t going to exist in 3 minutes. People you don’t know having an amount of fun you will never come close to experiencing in places you’re never going to be in filtered lighting you are never going to be bathed in.

Photographs by themselves don’t tell you much of anything without context, and because instagram makes taking photos that look good so easy, there is no longer even any story to be found within the difficulty that went into making and/or developing the picture. Everything looks really nice, but if everything looks really beautiful and professional, nothing does. Just like what the bad guy from The Incredibles said about superheroes (remember?). “But why do you hate convenience and nice looking things and also, you take pictures of fucking LEGOS sometimes you asshole!” you may or may not be currently roaring at me through your computer screen, but probably not, because it’s unlikely you’re totally insane. But, I appreciate the sentiment. Sometimes a soft focus picture of a cat yawning is perfectly acceptable and even welcome, but the only story you’re telling with that picture is “this animal that I bought sometimes expresses it’s physical weariness visually.” And if you take that picture on a daily, or even weekly basis, it’s the equivalent of me repeatedly posting this same word-collection, just changing tenses with each iteration. 

What’s the point of all this? I’m not exactly sure. But you shouldn’t have expected me to have one in the first place. After all, I’m writing words on this website, which is primarily a place for pictures, both moving and sedentary. And on top of that, I’m writing in the first person, which is it’s own literary sin, apparently. So it’s pretty clear I don’t know what I’m talking about. 

It’s me, brutally depressing statistics pertaining to how citizens of the US and Pakistan view each other, and the main theme from “American Beauty” on borderline-infinite repeat. 

And there’s a kitkat, but I’m saving it. 

What a time.

Started the day by having a lightbulb shatter against my skull when my desk lamp fell on me this morning. Best bit of inadvertent physical comedy I’ve done in a long time and nobody was even around to enjoy it.

Which is why I need to start sleeping with more people, if only so then I’ll have an audience for my distressingly common morning crises. 

But sleeping with more people would also be good for, you know, other reasons I guess.

Seriously. Broke a lightbulb on my head. It happened for real.

I want to be good at something other than wry pessimism.

I am about to start the song DoYaThing by Gorillaz, James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem, and Andre 3000. I’ve listened to it 12 times according to iTunes, and at least 5 times in my car on a CD. I’m going to write my free form thoughts about the song while it is playing. then not edit them. Except for like, grievous spelling errors or something. Or maybe i won’t YOU’LL NEVER KNOW. 

Ok. 

I just started the song

Long beginning tone.

It’s got that fake horn noise that was all over the place in Plastic Beach but i like that so cool

I think Damon albarn references Warren Sapp in a lyric, which would be strange. 

Chorus is probably James Murphys thing, theres all kinds of modified voices including a deep one. i laugh at deep voices, so perfect. 

This kind of belongs on plastic beach maybe. 

ANDRE SHOWS UP AND ITS THE BEST PART OF THE SONG

THE BEST PART OF THIS BEST PART IS THE FIRST PHRASE HE RAPS 

he just rams onomonopia in the midst of nothing 

that song Doncamatic by gorillaz sounds alot like this one part only remixed, maybe? 

Andre 3000 is good at everything, including straw hats according to that one ad. 

Lyrically this song is pretty much nothing, but its catchy and fast paced 

also it’s over.

gorillaz james murphy and andre 3000 have a song coming out next week

i’m going to throw up

in a good way

“What is the Purpose of Writing?” 

My answer was thus: The purpose of writing is to be read.

“But what about diaries? journals? personal ledgers of that sort, hmmm?” 

You’re going to read your own diary.

If I’m not joking I’m not speaking.
