HIPSTER RUNOFF

Some moments only happen once
So u must do whatever u can
2 ensure that u capture these moments
2 share with ur friends and family

I capture media
With my smart phone
.jpg, .mov, .wmv, .3gp, .avi
Blast it out 2 social networks
Let my tribe live and breathe with me.

Comment, LIKE, RT, +1

Before I met the President
I wasn't nervous abt his presence
When I met the President
I was nervous that I wouldn't capture the moment
4evr & ever & evr (until my hard drive that I didn't back up crashed)

He came up to me, extended his hand
I took a photo of his face
He hugged me
I extended my arm
Snapped a photo of my face
The back of his head
Our embrace

"I voted for u."
He said "Thank U, bb! U look good! Be my fan on FB!"
"I already am."
"God Bless You."

Great story,
I know.
But if u don't capture ur content
It basically nvr happened

My new default
This moment will last 4evr
Sorta wish I had 1 of these, though

Get a wider angle
higher angle
Minimize my double chin

Is this the greatest Myspace style 'self-pic' of all time?
is this broad 'the ultimate lamestreamer'?
Do u 'capture moments' [via ppl holding up cameras at concerts] or do u 'just live it'?

I was reading my twitter homepage the other day, and I couldn't help but notice some 'scathing snark comments' from the popular bloghouse-to-mainstream rapper M.I.A.

It seems like she is 'talking mad shit' about our President Barack Obama. Apparently he won 1st prize in the metaphorical 'Best Human on the Planet' awards [via Nobel Peace Prize]. It seems like something that we should celebrate whether or not he deserves it and whether or not the Award 'means anything.' It is an important step in rebranding our nation to the rest of the world. It seems like winning this award might 'convince the rest of the world that the USA is a chill place, trying 2 make some positive changes.' It seems like M.I.A. is 'trying to take a shit' on our nation/our leader/etc. Seems hard for me to identify with artists who don't see America as being 'fucking awesome', even when we had a Repubby President. We must support our leaders. Sorta wish ppl were punished when they performed public acts of rebellion. Wish our government monitored twitter, kinda like Iran.

I am not sure if M.I.A. lives in the USA. It seems like these types of 'snark comments' might make her some sort of person on a list of 'bad people' according to the US govt, since she has been linked 2 'terrorist groups' or something.. It seems like making anti-Obama statements might diminish her appeal to liberal alts. Like there might be Protests outside of her shows in the United States by liberals and conservatives.

I am not sure if the Nobel Peace Prize is still a 'prestigious' award. It seems like it would be comparable to some sort of 'Blog Awards' that reward 'The Best Blog on the Planet' or something. Or possibly an 'MTV Award' in film/music/music videos. Seems like a nice process, but it ultimately helps the awards show when u can 'brand the award' with the most popular performers. Think I might start an 'awards system' for some sort of alternative genre, and maybe it will appear to be 'more real' over time.

But still, it's 'fucking awesome' that Barry Obama was named the most Noble Human on the Planet. A Bro Who Branded himself as 'Hope' & 'Change' finally gets some sort of reward (besides the Presidency). Seems like a 'huge victory' for 'us.'

We can never forget who we are as a nation, and our special mission as 'the best nation in the World.' We must stay unified in our beliefs and steadfast in the American way. Any1 who does not approve of our way of life is a terrorist since they don't 'get' us and are ultimately trying 2 harm us. God has truly blessed our nation, and we must accept our responsibility to 'bring good' to the rest of the world. You are either a patriot or a terrorist--there is nothing in between.

Nvr Frgt.

Will u boycott M.I.A.?
R u proud of Barry Obammy?
Can the USA 'rebrand' itself 2 the world?
R u a patriot or a terrorist?

I remember reading a long time ago that there was some sort of ethnic cleansing of emo kids happening in the Third World. Apparently when they are not educated, so in the 3rd World, they think that 'trends' are important movements. Kinda sux for kids who are getting beat up 4 no reason, but I feel like there are s000 many people on our Earth after the Chinese Olympics made China marketable. Now that ppl are moving there and they have Wal Marts, we have 2 start seriously thinking about population regulation.

There's just not enough Sparks/PBR/Chili's/McGriddles/Chicken Nuggles/Hands 2 tug in the world 4 all of us. Soul can't meet body if there are too many bodies and not enough soulz.

Hopefully Barry Obama brings his radical red ideas 2 save our nation.
Has n e 1 else been a lil bit worried about Pressy Obama? He's been doing a lot of zany stuff that I'm not sure if I want my President doing.
Did yall hear he joined the Chromeos and then did a DJ Set as "DJ HE H8 BLAQUE PRE$IDENT"?

'u can h8 me now, but I won't stop now.' -Barack Obamsmith

Hope he is okay in the head... heard he's thinking of ending it all. don't go anywhere, Barry. Miss u already.

I wish I could chill with Barry Obama.
I could tell him what we should do to make our country more authentic.
I have a dream...
I have a dream that one day alts and mainstreamers will walk 2gether under 1 flag.
This flag will be an alternative, minimalisty designed flag under the Altnited States of Altmerica.
If Barry was my altBro, I'd teach him about my life. I'd tell him about palestinian scarves, child predator glasses, and even what Sparks feels like.

I love you, Barry. My world is a better place with you in it. One day, we will write a song together.
It will be an epic meaningful banger, with a bunch of samples (kinda like a Crystal Castles song).

I am gonna miss meaningful celebrity pupu platters, yall. :-(
Feel like the meme economy is in crisis.

Barry Obama: The New Justice?

Yall. So worried that Election 2008 memes are no longer gonna be 'viral-worthy.'





Is there n e thing left 2 bl0g abt now that Obama was elected?
Do I have to start listening to electroMusic to find HRO content again?
gonna miss the election s0 bad.

Who am I?
What should I believe in in 2k12?

Is n e 1 else 'gettin a lil bit of anxiety' abt 2nite. I'm gonna wake up 2morrow, and everything is gonna be different. I will have a reason to live. I will have a reason to keep going. I will have a reason to go to design school. I will have a reason to 'lose some weight' as a 2k9 New Year's resolution.

Tonight, Barry Obama will win. Tomorrow morning, I will drive to a rural area and be embraced by some one who voted for George W. Bush. We will go out to McDonalds for breakfast and realize 'maybe we're all kinda the same after all.' We will be brothers for the next four years.
We will unite under 1 church which preaches both 'faith' and 'logic.'
We will govern our nation with 'a lil bit of God' and 'a lil bit of science.'
We will let convicts out of jail, granting them a fresh start.
We will take down Osama Bin Laden.
We'll teach a modified version of 'evolution' that's a lil bit more fun.
We will rescue our nation from financial crisis.
We will make sure that altbros and altbags have an equal voice in the Senate.
We will defeat Iran.
We will defeat North Korea.
We will defeat China and destroy their Olympic facilities.

This is our America.

I'm eggcited, yall! Barry won! Hooray!

[HIPSTER RUNOFF BROKE THIS STORY FIRST]

Barry Obama will bring us together.

Patrick Moberg - Meaningful Obama Tumblr Meme (HIPSTER RUNOFF RMX)

I <3 2 rmx memes.

yall. I'm not sure if I should vote. Ppl tell me that it's 'rlly important', but I just feel like my personal life won't be that different if George W. Bush isn't re-elected. Not sure who this 'new guy in town' is, but have heard rumors he is a terrorist/a member of the Bin Laden family.

Kinda need 2 wikipedia these candidate guys 2 'see what's up'.

Why r people trying to get the George Bush out of the office? Nvr rlly did n e thing 2 me. Seemed like a chillBro.

I don't rlly watch TV, so I haven't followed the election 2 well except for memes about that MilfLady.

Has n e 1 heard rumors that if u don't vote, u will automatically die/be executed?

"Come With Me" -puff daddie
"I'll be missin yall." -Sting ft. P Diddy

Don't rlly understand why celebs think they have 2 'tell people 2 vote'. not rlly their jobs. Kinda wish they'd leave us alone and let us tug offin front of our computer screens. Kinda feel like they are 'making the election less authentic' by trying to tie themselves to some sort of blog buzz marketing gimmick. There need 2 be laws/regulations about celebs who are 'using' the election just 2 make themselves seem 'more connected' to 'our world' and 'you.'

Should I start 2 believe in G0d in order to have him help guide my vote?

Should I get involved on my college campus's Young Democrats organization? Will I meet people with similar interests as me? Will we 'get buzzed' and 'partie' but also talk about important issues?

Voting makes me feel (more/less) authentic.
Voting makes me feel (more/less) unique.
Voting makes me feel (more/less) alt.
Voting makes me feel (more/less) mainstream.
Voting makes me feel (more/less) in control of our country's future.
Voting makes me feel (more/less) 'connected' with what 'the common man' cares about.
Voting makes me feel (more/less) like a fggt.
Voting makes me feel (more/less) like an old person.
Voting makes me feel (more/less) like an internet user.
Voting makes me feel (more/less) like a bitter political science professor.
Voting makes me feel (more/less) like a 'political blogger.'
Voting makes me feel (more/less) like a person who 'laughs rlly loud' at Saturday Night Live sketches because they 'get' the world.
Voting makes me feel (more/less) pressured to find Tina Fey's Sarah Palin impression 2 be 's00 funnie.'
Voting makes me feel (more/less) comfortable with the direction of the world.
Voting makes me feel (more/less) human after yall.

Should I 'vote'?
Does n e 1 know a website that has 'the issues' posted?
Can people still make zany internet memes abt the candidates even after the election is ovr?

Don't you think that getting an endorsement from the lead singer of the Flaming Lips is kind of like getting an endorsement from your crazy uncle who none of your family talks to any more because of that one time on that family vacation 15 years ago when he tried to molest you/your sister?

SORRY. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE A JOKE ABOUT HOW THIS PIC LOOKS LIKE A KREEPY GUY STANDING IN FRONT OF SOME1 FAMOUS.
I APOLOGIZE IF THIS POST BROUGHT BACK ANY BAD MEMORIES. :-(

Anyways, did you hear about that new band that Rolling Stone blogged about in their magazine?

I heard Barack Obama sounds a lot like Bloc Party meets the Arcade Fire's 4th album.
