I am this bro /// This bro is me.
I live in a space, filling with things. These things // make me [who I am], like the theme of the popular internet webisodes Fight Club. Over the years, I have consumed alternative media, which has pointed me towards the props I need 2 make my life more interesting \\ the polaroid camera economy. The world is my playground, and my apartment is a chest of toys which enable me to be a more valuable commodity within the metaphorical playground economy.
One day I will be dead, but this video will live on. The image of me will represent an important time 2 be alive. The 51 things in my apartment are only 0.01% of what is really in my apartment. These 51 items are culture are me are important.
My hair takes on multiple textures.
The background music in this video is what I hear when I walk out of my door to start my quirkily meaningful day. There is a down tempo version which plays at night.
I have props, and appliances, and alt junk // and technologies
Because there is an old saying
“One man’s trash is another alt’s Holy Grail.”
This is a story from ancient blog times about this video. It is nonfiction.
Inquired the common alt, “Altbro is he?”
“Nay–for he is the bag,” muttered the man too sure of himself.
A wise man in the back of the room said in a quiet, reflective tone, “Neither. For he is the one they call BGGTcooldadpostaltbrobagmnstrmr.”

Thanks for your suggestion. I have asked about negotiating the rent and I’m waiting to hear what they come up with.
