Enjoying this latest BBC mix by the Twelves. Sorta reminds me of the glory days of electro. Seriously would have listened to this during my bloghouse altbro prime. Really enjoy the Twelves. Sort of like an underrated electro duo without a brand that is as strong/over-the-top as some of the LosAngelesians/French, but probably ‘more enjoyable’ as listenable music. Think they are from Brazil. Not sure if they are ‘rich Brazilian kids’ like C.S.S.

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.

Poney Poney When Do You Want To Stop Working? (Pacific Remix)

Grade: 4.8745 out of 10 runoffs
Review: From what I understand, I am supposed to appreciate pop music from France, like Phoenix and bands like that who ‘write well crafted pop, but sing in English.’ I think remixes are pretty kewl, too. Think this track is ‘nice to have’ in ur iPod library. Need 2 blog more about tracks that are ‘nice 2 have around’ since they are not asking u to consider them the best song ever written. PARA ONE produced the original version of this song and Xavier DeRosnay is apparently producing their next album/produced their old stuff.

Yall. Feel stupid to ask ‘dumb questions.’ Weird how sometimes u just never ask certain questions because you are afraid ur gonna sound stupid for not knowing, but if u asked, u’d realize that 85% of the world was wondering the same thing as u. Our modern educational system has failed because we believe that any one who asks a question is ‘an idiot’ [via Nappy Dynamite voice].

but srsly…. does n e 1 know what DJs are doing when they are ‘twisting knobs’ and ‘acting all emotional’? Like the lifeforce of a song is flowing through the knobs into their body where their soul meets their body. Wish I knew more DJ techniques. Wish my parents got me DJ lessons as a kid instead of ‘piano’/'guitar’/'miscellaneous orchestral instrument’ lessons. Sad that I was never talented enough to be in a band, so I wish I could at least play music that makes ppl happy.

While I am asking, can n e 1 else plz explain what DJs are doing when they ‘hold 1 headphone up 2 their ear while bobbing their head and looking intently at their computer screen’? Sometimes I wonder if DJs are ‘really doing anything’ or if they are sort of just ‘pretending to be really involved’ to make sure that people don’t remember that they are ‘just playing music from iTunes.’

Still not sure if DJing is an ‘art.’ Can some1 plz tell me why we need 2 respect DJs/which DJs are ‘worth respecting’? Might need to listen to more guido techno electro core house.

I remember in the book Lord of the Flies, there is a group of bros who get “LOST” on an island. They have no ’societal norms’ and break down into tribes who go to war against one another. One tribe is ‘violent’ and the other one is ‘all about peace.’ I think it’s supposed to be about how we handle being human after all with a ‘lil bit of animal’ inside of us.

Kinda feel like that’s what’s happening with altbros. Now that electro is ‘kinda dead’ and altbro fashion is no longer ‘hip’, altbros have broken down into tribes who are either peaceful (listen to conceptual core), or they have turned into violent bros, like the one above. They are hungry for blood, and they will use it as war paint / an interesting accessory for personal branding.

Kinda worried that we’re gonna see more murders in 2k9 just for the sake of ‘using the blood as face paint.’ Just think that people get kinda messed up in the quest for authenticity to the point that they are ‘murdering their bros’ just because they are too insecure to wear their lens-less glasses without a hand print.

miss u altbros.

Is ne 1 else unsure of how authentic a beer like BUD LIGHT can be since it was already branded by ______ people?

Should I invest in Miller Light? Is this picture supposed to ‘look like that 1 portrait of the Virgin Mary’, in order 2 appeal 2 Mexis.

Does n e 1 know any good ‘microbreweries’/authentic moonshine makers that are located in the conceptual forest?

Has any1 tried mescaline? Should I just make a gallon of mescaline serum and ‘go 2 the desert for 1 week’?

is it still authentic to ‘get fuckt up’?

Afraid of the world ending, yall. Afraid of dying. Afraid of being alone. Think these fears are all kinda related.

[Photo by The friend attack]
I know a lot of times, I joke about ‘offing myself’, but I’m kinda scared-er than ever. Just heard Barrack Obama tell the country that we’re in a Great Depression. Kinda feelin’ depressed already. Heard there is gonna be a stimulus package that will help me pay rent for a month / buy blow / rent an AZN for a year.

Not sure if we’re gonna make it out of this 1. There’s so much bullshit in the world right now. Gossip blogs. Terrorism. Snark. These are all a product of the devil. Yall need 2 be prepared for The Rapture (not the band). I’m kinda afraid of dying. Not sure if n e 1 else is. Sometimes I think about what I want 2 do when the world ends. Will I kill myself right before it ends, or will I die doing something meaningful, like hanging out in a club, or ‘cumming with some1′… what do yall think yall are gonna do when the world ends.

Are yall stocking up on anything for the Depression/Rapture of 2k9? Kinda regret electing that ObamaBro. Seems like he’s already messing a lot of stuff up for all of us. Everything was okay 1 month ago–don’t see how it got so bad. Pissed off right now. My dad lost his job so they had to sell my Prius.

I’m just sayin, yall. Get ready. Yall though the electro wars were bad. They were nothing. Think God wants to cleanse the mainstreamers off our earth. Might be a good thing–but maybe GodBro wants 2 get rid of every1.

CAN SOME1 PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT THAT MAKES ME FEEL BETTER ABOUT OUR WORLD? MIGHT NEED MORE ANTIDEPRESSIES/ANTI-ANXIETY MEDS 2 make it thru the month.

This post is a cry for help.
