General Chat / What Are You Listening To Right Now

man i'm starting to think that all this internet-chilling-out with southern redneck trailer trash is getting to you or something.

Nah, man, Adix is a pretty cool guy once you get beneath the rolls of flab.
It hasn't really got to my head as snow, dope and divorce got to yours, dude.

Life is Pain
A poem by Spoonie

You cut me in half
I cried for days
You took half the house
And I lived in a box
Of my own unmaking
All those promises you made
All broken now
You went got a ditzy teenage girlfriend
And started listening to Eminem
Wow, oh woe, Oh daddy
Why did you have to divorce my mommy?
LIFE IS PAIN!!!!

It's a really sad story, really. Really quite sad. Makes me weep at night. Not as much as you, though.
Seriously, man. I feel [for] you, I really do.
We are all bitches to the cruel master of life.

alright fine, here's my goddamn life story if you really want it.

i've lived in a high class suburb all my life. most of my friends are either rich or at least making a decent life for themselves in the middle class. my family has always been middle class. i've never been as rich as some of my friends, but i've also never known what any sort of financial hardship was. my parents always took good care of me. they never divorced. my mom and dad are happily married and i mostly get along with them both. sure i hang out with a rich yacht club crew in general, but the truth is their good people. it took a while to realize this. a few years ago i started thinking that my friends were elitist rich kids and i wanted no part of their society. it was like two years ago. i got a elitist complex of my own, not wanting their deal. i started gravitiating towards the hipster scene of the city nearby with the local bands and all of that. i thought these kids would be accepting and cool. fact is that as long as you've got a thrift store t-shirt and thick rimmed glasses they like you regardless of your true character. except the straight edge ones they got sticks up their collective ass or something. anyway i was hanging at these local "shows" and all of that and kind of assimilated into their culture and that's when i realized that these fuckers were all image-conscious and nothing more. my yacht club type friends might be shallow and sheltered but they don't know any better. these hipster kids are just straight up fucking assholes. i quit their scene altogether. fuck them man. and rich kids like their pot and alcohol and i really can't fault them for that at all. i didn't like them because i perceived them as rich. truth is that really, most of them aren't. i'm not, they're no different. that's why they're my true friends.

so why am i blabbing on about this. because for a while i wanted to be different. this whole internet thing was the perfect outlet for that. i could be whoever i wanted. so this persona of mine was born. qotsa, moonspoon, jellybones whatever. a lot of the shit i talk about is true of me but at the same time lots was made up for the sole reason that i can make shit up on the internet. and i will gladly admit that for a time i was a total hipster, because then i realized how fucking dumb they (and I) were and i realized what i am and what i cant change: average white american suburban teenager and i'm totally cool with that.

Oh, um. J/k, buddy.

And a message from Annie Reckson:

Just cause he couldn't cut it as a hipster doesn't mean he has to have a personal vendetta against those of us who aren't currently listening to crap---oops I mean awesome rap music (because, Spin magazine says so! LOLOLOLOL!)  while hanging out with over-privileged brats.
