On The Soothing Sounds of the Indielectual Lifestyle

I'd add decemberists and norah jones to the list too
what the hell is wrong with people these days
bankers have stolen the country
and you are sleep walking through life to the sounds of comfortable unoffensive pop

On When The Phone Doesn't Ring (Or Vibrate)
call me, but not too often,
hold the door, don't hold the door
pick up the check, she'd rather we split it, j/k, I have to pay
txt me back, don't txt me back
surprise date w/ tickets to your fav band, "best date ever", never hear back...
like someone, they don't like you back
treat other people like crap, they get obsessed with you
respect someone, they never contact you again
shit is so fucked up these days

this goes completely against that anti-marriage lady's opinion from last week

On Accomplishments Transitory
when everyone has an opinion,
and everyone can voice them equally,
then none of them count anymore.
through the democratization of culture,
we have collectively flat lined influence,
and converged with apathy.

On "Read It Later": Republishing is Theft
what the hell ?!
I'm usually a big fan of this blog
and have recommended and forwarded links to friends on multiple occasions
machine based hyper text transfer is HOW THE INTERNET WORKS !!
the 1's and 0's in the form of XML [including these letters I'm typing]
transfer from one computer to a server to another computer
which is REPUBLISHING them
and it is not illegal it is the modern world of the 21st century
it is the INTERNET
you're basically saying the information super highway is "BAD THING"
because it allows for networked content to be copied from one computer another
that's not a bug, it's a feature!
shall we break our looms like the luddites of old?
and yes I read your blog with RSS and Safari Reader
so I dont have to click on / be distracted by stupid / redundant / obtrusive advertising
The whole city of Sao Paulo 11 million people, [ btw ten times the residency of Manhattan]
removed all the ad's and billboards
look how clean it is !!

and will support any service to delete or block them from me

On I Am David Brooks' Lazy, Unemployable "Missing Man"
whats the point in working at corporations, long hours, shitty pay, expensive insurance, all to make some CEO and Exec's who play musical chairs millions of dollars.
its nearly impossible to start a small business
as an unemployed 33 year old I'm clearly not a catch for any woman
I should be working in my prime and have a great career
and yet corporate culture being what it is, we're lucky anything gets done at all
offices filled with free loaders, mouth breathers, fat people,
unhealthy both psychologically and physically
all so we can convince a bank to buy us a house built out of toothpicks in a decaying neighborhood
while driving a depreciating expensive car back and forth to the job you hate
no thanks
btw how are those student loans from "for profit" colleges working out for the rest of you ?
indebted indentured societal servants for the top one percenters
