painfully awkward

in cleaning out my email box i came across this little gem from 2005…

You are such a miserable piece of shit. You add absolutely no value to the world and the entire planet would be a much nicer place to live without you. Your blog is awful. I can’t believe people are actually interested in reading about your boring life and your eternal despondency. Unlike your idol Morrissey, your chronic depression is not adorable, its just . . . well, depressing. Your sour attitude brings down everyone that you come into contact with. You are not a pleasant person to be around. I am surprised that you have any friends at all. Who can stand to listen to you continually profess your adoration for mediocre rock bands? (Seriously, Levy sucks!)Perhaps you would be much happier if you just came out of the closet. Really, it is 2006 and you live in New York City. No one cares that you are gay. You aren’t exactly hiding it well with your school-girl crush on James Levy and your obsession with male models.Have you ever considered suicide? I wish you would go ahead and end the tragedy of your wretched existence. You are a complete fucking loser.

from the ny times – who actually linked to the clip below – a summation of the idea of ‘the lobster.’

also, another good one from possibly the best sunday styles section ever. it involves a question and answer about who should pay for birthday dinners, etc.

interesting ny times story, kind of about dylan and how smart he is. and some funny pictures i found.

a far too in depth look at why nice guys finish last to which i think i have a much simpler answer…girls are total idiots! just kidding – and i am pretty sure that nice guys actually come out far ahead in the real world after high school/college so it really doesn’t matter anyway.

disproving my theory that every band is capable of writing at least one good song, limp-wristed, radiohead imitators coldplay got accused of ripping off a local band for their vida la vida song which they denied, while admitting to ripping off radiohead for some other song on their new album. also in the article there is mention of gene simmons and kiss criticizing radiohead for giving away their album for free. i really don’t understand how this could even be considered newsworthy as kiss is no longer relevant (assuming they ever were).

hedge fun

the ny times hits an all time low as style guy bill cunningham tries to explain the style behind sub-human thugs walking around with their pants down and their underwear hanging out. to me these guys just look like common garbage that would be better off dead.

here and a good point about obama’s views on israel here.

there’s something i call a person like wesley snipes…it’s right on the tip of my tongue, i just can’t get it out…

sometimes ‘to the left’ puts you front and center. of course other times it just means you aren’t welcome in the picture.

if i had taken this picture i would be dead. here’s a nice story about a guy who saw thom yorke in central park and was able to control himself in a decent manner. i can’t say i would’ve been able to behave so well myself. actually, had it been me thom would probably still be locked in my apartment for observation.

obviously i am now going to have to locate that part of the park and stand there knowing that the great one’s feet have touched that very pavement.  

and again the coolest band in the world comes up with a great idea.
