Don’t even feel like anything I blog about even matters. When u hear about a story so serious, it’s like all of this ‘alt music and culture’ stuff doesn’t even matter, cuz in the end, we’re all humans. In case yall haven’t heard, there is a strand of the flu going around called SWINE FLU.
Always thought I would get to die of natural causes. Worried about some sort of disease that my body can’t ‘overcome’ ending my life. Hope that I don’t have to wear some protective suit for the rest of my life.
Hope that Hollywood makes some movies that capitalize on our ‘fear of the unknown’ kinda like when they made all of those movies about a meteor hitting Earth.
Feeling pretty human, yall.
I think that within the next year, the tone of my blog will focus on encouraging the human race to start planning a way to get off the Planet Earth before we all die [via global warming]/natural disaster.
Kinda weird when something that is ‘viral’ actually ‘goes viral.’
From what I understand, swine flu came from Mexico because their farms are dirty.
Hope I didn’t get swine flu at Coachella. I think that California is close 2 Mexico.
Please use this post to share tips on how 2 avoid ‘catching’ the swine flu.’
Gonna go do some research. Sorry if this post is underdeveloped. Just learned how 2 use ‘google news.’ Freaking out.
nvr eating ‘bacon’ again.

once i got soooo drunk and ate nachos and mNms and totes fukked this rly rly rly fat chick while the hip band theEverclears jammed on my ipod. when i woke up i found out she was literally a pig, and i was on a farm in nebraska. i listend to my fav band MCR and ate an appl and wished i had brought my shoes. later that day, i told my gf of 3.225 yrs and she dumped me after stealing my vintage SystemOfADownsyndrome vinal collection, fixed gear bike (with the modded handbreak), and the 5 cigs left in my pack of virginia slims.

@ZST IS BST, wow comments like these seem to no longer surprise me on this website. If any of you were a bit educated you would know that Swine Flu is not a new thing and it wasnt “created” by Mexicans. Stop the racist bs, you fall in the same categories as the uneducated far right wingers when you make dumb statements like that. Also why in the world does everyone on here now talk like the owner of this website. Everyone saying “ya’ll” and spelling without vowels and making statements that sound like they are coming from a sad child speaking in very short form. Is it “alternative” to do what others do? Really guys is it soooo unique and different to follow someone else??? You are the same thing that you claim to fight against, think about it.

@BRO!, so you reply to me in the same manner as your cult leader Carles??? Adding racist comments again, man I did not know being a hipster meant it was cool to be racist. Is being racist the alternative thing to do??? Get a life, now I can see the difference between people who get educations and those that either
A. live off of their parents money an never do anything of their own and are looked at as complete failures at life by their parents.
or
B. Are losers since grade school and have not developed socially making them cling to anything that will take them as they grow. Including clinging to this so called alternative culture that is different which is complete BS when everyone that is part of this culture is exactly the same. How is shopping at American Apparel Alternative when all of you do it and they have 260 stores around the world and are a publicly traded company???
or you are a mixture of both A and B
//////////Reply by boards
//////////Posted April 28th, 2009 at 10:35 pm
@TheKidQ, Oh god, STFU. Board responders are obviously capable of creating and typing grammatically correct sentences (for the most part, right guys?). Have you become so overwhelmed by your claimed tolerance and “divers”-ness that you can no longer take part in “fun & games”. It’s fun to play along with Carles and type in his language (not even his really, just sort of internet lingo). It’s fun to parrot the obviously false claims of “right wingers” who think Mexico created Swine Flu. I am willing to bet that you don’t find Colbert funny for the simple reason that people do take him seriously (conservatives mostly). It’s not Carles’ fault that some hipsterrunoff readers might not completely understand irony and satire, but that is no reason to attack Carles.
Chill bro and go with the flow. I hope I run into you in NYC some time. We can get all vulnerable and talk about our deep thoughts and how ‘divers’ we are.

@boards, sorry that the posts will not let me edit them once they are posted hence me not being able to add an e at the end of diverse you moron. Sure we can say “isnt it fun to say some racist shit once and a while” but the people saying things like that are completely either idiotic or actually racist. I never went at anyone for typing with improper grammar but using words like YALL and phrases such as “______ MAKES ME SAD” are exactly like how Carles writes, therefore I made an observation on how people who claim to be independent and different are just copying someone themselves. Carles writing style is obviously quite recognizable and anyone who would say otherwise is just lying.

are unsuccessful attempts at Carlos’s style. Your attempts aren’t funny, use his terminology incorrectly, and are actually a complete and utter FAIL.
Maybe you guys should start making clever and original comments and then Carlos wouldn’t ‘feel sad’.

wow the ignorance in this blog is overwhelming, first off to say that mexicans made it is one of the most simple minded thoughts ive ever heard, hopefully your joking…and the other thing you can;t catch swine flu from eating pork products the virus doesnt spread that way you can eat all the pork you want and you wont catch the swine flu, plus this strand of swine flu is a mix between bird, pig, and 2 types of human flu..and they say its naturally occuring….another thing how bout doing a little thinking and research before blogging about socially relevant shit!!!!
