i feel so sad today like clouds are falling on top of me with the metaphysical weight of twin-size mattresses
i feel prolonged, sourceless, ‘troubling,’ low-level panic
i feel like i’m watching a movie about someone i really like
and the person really likes his girlfriend
and the girlfriend is starting to not like the person
and the person is late to meet his girlfriend
and a giant porcupine is chasing the person through a field
in the opposite direction
of the place he confirmed to meet his girlfriend
and whenever the person turns around to try to jump over the porcupine
or run really fast around the porcupine
the porcupine changes into a really giant mattress
and the person hits the mattress and falls down
then the person gets tired and the porcupine, like, ‘lays’ on top of him
and its needles go into him
and he screams extremely loudly

@tao, this is a poem about not being able to avoid laying in bed with someone, when maybe you would like to not lay with them. and when you find yourself, drunk again in their bed, you half thank the weed and wine for making this moment worth being in, but also curse it for putting you there in the first place.

I really don’t think it’s beside the point at all. If that’s actually Tao Lin, then you just called out a bestselling author whose forthcoming novella I’ve already pre-ordered on Amazon because it’s supposed to be full of tales of best-bud adventures with Carles.

@HOMOSAPIEN_FUCK,
many a comment you have left on here, and i would consider you an oldfag reader.
i’m wondering is it better to support crls and help him reach mainstream internet fame / receive frequent tugjobs for ‘being someone’ or, refuse his products because of their outward meme projection and save our own personal brands.
//////////Reply by HOMOSAPIEN_FUCK //////////Posted July 19th, 2009 at 11:22 pm
@Madi B, I feel the deepness of these questions. but I just want to say that it’s probably just entry lvl kids who would buy this. Like wearing a band t-shirt to go see the band. Just would not want to get into a conversation with someone in this shirt.
So you’ve got a pic of an AZN with a macbook lappy and a pic of a girl posing next to PBR both wearing your shirt.
When you turn to public endorsement, Carles, the whole “I am being post-ironically self-reflective” thing goes right out the window and you just start looking eager.
I mean, the aloof, snarky, nonchalance is completely gone here. I feel like you have lost your sense of self-parody and have now gone 100% into product-association.
As if to say: “Look, people who use macbooks and PBR also like my shirt!”
And before someone says it, no, it’s not a more profound form of social commentary. It’s a last-ditch effort to make bank and get some self-gratification by latching yourself onto a long-dead aesthetic.
IN CASE OF TL;DR:
CARLES YOU ARE SUCH A SELLOUT OMG PITCHFORK WOULD GIVE THIS A 3.8
But for real, I’m being mean, but only because I care about what HRO is. I feel like you are getting scared that when this scene is finally dead and gone you won’t have a claim to fame, anymore. I feel like you are afraid of an adulthood of relative anonymity, and that’s why you are doing this. In that way, being someone who isn’t a star of the internets, I identify with you.
If we were in a movie together, Carles, it would be Tin Cup. You would be Kevin Costner, and I would be your immigrant caddy. I would find you drunk and ready to let go of HRO and just sell t-shirts, and I would swear at you in Spanish and throw things at you. Then you would be like “you’re right, let’s go kick ass.”
Then you would get the girl and lose the golf tournament, and I would be looking on from the distance, nodding knowingly, smoking a joint.

it’s been a while y’all, just want to say i haven’t been on campus for a while [via collecting unemployment so i don't have to teach at nyu this summer] so i haven’t seen tao lin with his new carles shirt. will report back when i see him. love y’all.
Feel Like If I Wore It 2 A Party Some1 Would Be Say “Yo! The Hipster Runoff?” And I’d Be Like “So Funny Blog. Fav Internet Comedian. Don’t Take Him 2 Seriously Tho!!!”
Think ‘it is totes ghey’ that u would abandon ur post-ironically self-reflective self by ‘taking ur personal brand 2 the next lvl’.
Always looking 4 new ways 2 align my personal brand with HRO. Feel like ‘typing like carles’, deleting music from my iPod that has a rating of >7.212324 on p4k, and ‘thinking about keut altSlutz all day’ only get me so far. Feel like if I had this ’sweet am appy shirt’ with my favorite helvetty font, I could finally integrate my personal brand with HRO on a lvl ‘never b4 possible’. Think ‘i am carles’ is a ‘metaphor’. Kinda conceptual, yall.

@Dmagoku, well, I heard from a brother onetime that he has an affinity for “miller light,” “white girls,” and vintage guitars

h8 u carels!!!
Think ‘it is totes ghey’ that u would abandon ur post-ironically self-reflective self by ‘taking ur personal brand 2 the next lvl’.
Always looking 4 new ways 2 align my personal brand with HRO. Feel like ‘typing like carles’, deleting music from my iPod that has a rating of >7.212324 on p4k, and ‘thinking about keut altSlutz all day’ only get me so far. Feel like if I had this ’sweet am appy shirt’ with my favorite helvetty font, I could finally integrate my personal brand with HRO on a lvl ‘never b4 possible’. Think ‘i am carles’ is a ‘metaphor’. Kinda conceptual, yall.

@Mari, If ur a ‘chick’ and i saw ur HRO shirt, I would identify ur shirt &make out with u. We would ‘hang out’ 2gether and laugh at suburbia mnstremers who believed their lives have meaning. our identities would coalesce (via being ‘postmodern’ lovers)
if ur a ‘dude’, im nt fcking gay br0!

helvetica isn’t a brand carles. it’s a font. a heavily overused, over appreciated font.

totes wish the shirt said ‘I h8 Carles?’ in helvetty. would wear it at a ‘meaningful’ music festival, then ‘burn it’ during an AnCo set.
