In a previous post, I asked the readers/’the world’ 2 tell me whether or not HRO was still ‘relevant.’ As soon as I am ‘not relevant’, I will stop blogging, but I am not sure what my cutoff point would be.
Maybe I should do this every 3 months 2 make sure that people still ‘like me’, because I need approval and positive reinforcement. Yall are probs too afraid 2 admit stuff like that cuz yall r insecure, but unwilling to admit it.
Really feel like I’m ‘on top of my game’, yall. Sort of like Michael Jordan/Jesus/Barry-Obama-After-He-Saves-The-Economy of blogging, just like ‘in the zone’ and all of my memes are relevant+hi-level, etc.
Maybe I should ‘make a t shirt’ or something that ‘people could buy’, giving me ‘more money’ and having people ‘walk around like they are an HRO billboard’ or something like that. Not sure if inauthentic ppl would be representing me poorly, tho.
Do yall know anything about business and eCommerce?

@Gurkman, srsly Tao Lin taught CRLS to critique the self-promotion machine better than just posts worth blogging abt, podcasts, antisocial hacksterbros, and tumblr. Gorillaz is to pop music what HRO should be to pop blogging — brilliant, beautiful, confusing 2 mnstrmrs.
It should always be “art masquerading as pop” never “pop masquerading as art.” – Dave Hickey, criticbro

We, the Cult of CRLS, have been waiting 2 long to buy CRLS cred. We’re sick of printing off hipster bingo cards and making homemade tees with meaningful HRO references. If I don’t get a snarky tee soon, I might find myself at an Aoki show severely disillusioned with the promise of the conceptual forest.
This is a solution to the authenticity crisis.
When bros order the alt-tee (alternative spelling “alty”) from hypebeast/am appy/imaginary foundation (threadless and karamloop are definitely not authentic t-shirt dealerships) not only must they give u their credit card they must also submit an essay “Wat CRLS means 2 Mii” or a meaningful mixtape “the future of bloghou5″ or proof of altbreasts [via webcam connection to CRLS.]
Just sick of waiting 2 b monetized. Most other blggrz would have squeezed a pay pal donation or two out of me by now.

i think ecommerce requires you to make a “media kit,” which is kind of like a “caboodles.” or else you have to make a bff called a “paypal”.

Carles-
I obviously see that you’ve been inferring about your desire to start an online business for the past few weeks. If you don’t have the capital and/or technical capabilities to do so atm, why not start from places like CafePress, Zazzle, etc.?

this is ‘important’ for ‘you’.
HRO merchandise is a ‘yes’. i think there’s no ‘way’ it can go ‘wrong’. ‘I’d buy a tee myself’ if they were available. Just don’t ‘make it yourself’ and I think it will be well ‘received’.
