Yall. HRO is a unique place. I make up a lot of original stuff. I talk about important concepts. I am there for you. There is nothing wrong with cobranding your personal brand with the HIPSTER RUNOFF lifestyle brand. Don’t let n e 1 give u shit 4 it.
U R UNIQUE.
It is okay to talk like me. Talking like Carles/HRO makes u normal+self-aware+authentic.
A lot of ppl complain in the cmmnt threads that cmmntrs try 2 hard to sound like HRO, but there’s nothing wrong with that. You are a part of something bigger than yourself. Something authentic.
Be extremely proud of yourself for ‘getting it.’
In fact, “getting” HRO is the equivalent of fulfilling an 60 hour requirement of ‘progressive’ liberal arts courses at a top 100 university/community college.
We are all trying to build an army of supporters who are eager to ‘mimic’/'implement’ ur ‘way of life’ into their way of life. When u get into a relationship, u don’t rlly NEED another person. U just NEED a reason to be alive. We want to know ‘why?’ We want 2 know other people identify with us. We want 2 know that we are unique. We want to know that we are differentiated.
Master lifestyle brands want you to be a soldier for them.
A Master Lifestyle Brand will represent you what you represent the brand.
Start seriously thinking about the future of your personal brand. R u looking to go local, regional, national, or global?

I remember when Carles used to talk like a human being. And then he slowly started to throw in y’alls to imitate Perez. And then it was downhill from there. Now I don’t even read the text because it annoys me, I just look at the pictures.

despite bigoted refs to AZNs, fggts, and others, Carles’ use of Yall marks a stunning consideration for the ambiguity of their audience’s gender(s).
Perhaps 1 day we will merge our aversion of the mnstrm with an aversion of the things that facilitate its renewal.
If we destroy the mnstrm, can we save HRO in 2k9?
I hope so

“You Don’t Know Me” by Armand Van Helden
What was my problem with man you ask?
No, I ask you what was man’s problem with me?
(Chorus)
You don’t even know me
You say that I’m not living right
You don’t understand me
So why do you judge
my life?
You don’t even know me
You say that I’m not living right
You don’t understand me
So why do you judge my life?
I don’t ask for nothing
I’m always holding my own
Every time I turn around, there’s something
People talking ’bout what they don’t know
And when I try to move on up
They’re always pullin’ me down
I’m tired and I’ve had enough
It’s my life, and i’m living it now
(Chorus)
I always wonder why
People try to hurt me
No happiness in their own lives
So they act out all their jealousy
Who are you to say that I’m living wrong?
Always telling me what to do
I’ve decided that I gotta be strong
What makes you think that I needed you?
You don’t know me
You don’t even know me (ohh, you dont know me)
You say that I’m not livin’ right (you don’t understand the way that I feel)
You don’t understand me (you can’t even see my pain)
So why do you judge my life (oohhh you don’t know)
(Chorus + Ad-Libs) (x3)
Who are you?
You say I’m not livin’ right
Anything I try to do
You haven’t walked in my shoes
I’m gonna move on
It’s my life, it’s my life (x3)

you know what carles,
me and my friend used to think we were the only ones who really ‘got it’. that we were the only ones who were able to make fun of everyone else because clearly we were cooler. but then reading your blog i discover that billions of other people got it too and are making fun of them/us/society too.
sometimes you just make my head spin with how ridiculously common i am. it really makes me sad.. i just don’t know if i can ever really be that authentic person i want to be.

@really,
Exactly. My friend and I got so depressed about this that we had to fly to Georgia and live in some tree houses in the forest for a brief period. No internetz, no appreciation of the disintegration of English into text-speak (which I’m not saying I’m against. Language is a river y’all); just a bunch of stoned tree-huggers picking at ukuleles, free roaming chickens/roosters and crystal clear man-made lakes. Maybe we need to go back to nature and start over? At this point, returning/arriving at authenticity is like Ouroboros. no hope.
