How many of yall use PCs?
"follow ur alternative dreams. u can do whatever u want in our alternative economy." -carles and Greg Gillis
Should I donate my current Mac to 'the War in Iraq' and start using a PC? I'm actually kinda tired of ComputerWars. Every1 knows how brand wars go...Eventually we get really tired. That's why Dr. Pepper did so well after the PepsiCoke Wars of the 1980s & 1990s.
We need to come together and find one solution for each problem that humans have. (This is what Barry Obama will do. He will implement a national dress code.)
I wish PCs and Macs would realize that I am my own person. If I could build my own computer, I would. I only rlly need a lil machine with a few websites. Not like I need what they even offer.
"being yourself": big in 2k1?
BUT SRSLY...
does n e 1 know the most authentic way 2 make mashups?
Yall. I remember a year or two ago when girls thought Sufjan Stevens songs made their lives' more meaningful. That was back when every1 was an 'entry level alt' because the essence of alt wasn't very definitive. Back then, experimenting with altdom was like a blind person trying to feel his way through a busy city. No1 was really willing to accept that they were searching for 'an authentic way of life'/didn't know how to accept that. Glad it's finally 2k8.75,yall.
I know that I 'crush' on a lot of female alt celebs, so I just wanted to know if Sufjan is hot/authentic. When he made the theme song for Little Miss Sunshine about traveling 2 Chicago, it was like he was the best thing since Ratatat. But now his personal brand might have gotten 'a little bit too meaningful' so he has kinda isolated the 'trendy' demographic, which I take kinda personally.
Did yall listen to Sufjan b4 u started listening 2 electroblogcore?

BUT SRSLY... What's up with the new Microsoft ads about being proud of being a PC? Can 1 marketing campaign really re-invent the personal brands of millions of people?
Can u believe they put GREG GILLIS, aka GIRL TALK into their ad campaign?
I just bought a new Macbook AirPro lappy, so I hope PCs don't 'come back' just because my fave mashup DJ likes to play Solitaire on his PC lappy. I'm looking forward to 5 years into the future when GregGilly has secured his place as 'go-to altCelebrity for mainstream companies who want to reach moderatelyAlt kids.'
s0 worried abt my personal brand when I sit in coffee shops and pretend 2 b 'busy'/looking at interesting content.
I just read on a 'Mac Vs. PC' weblog that they came out with new iPod nannies.
I just bought my iPod nano a few months ago because of the new emerging artist featured in the commercial called 'The Feists.' Even though the song 'wasn't THAT good', it was a commercial that turned her into an altMainstream superstar.
Her crossbranding with a technological product enabled every1 to feel progressive by enjoying her/the small iPod nano.
LET US NEVER FORGET THE 'FEIST-SIZED' IPOD NANO MODEL.
LET US ALL ADMIT THAT '1-2-3-4' WASN'T EVEN A VERY GOOD SONG.
Srsly. It reminds me of 'girls who dress alt but don't have any personality' would listen to/rave about/put into their facebook+myspace profile.
It's good to know that iPod does a good job of lumping 'obscurer alternative artists' and 'artists who were originally marketed as being alternative but have since gained a mainstream appeal' into their [BUZZWORTHY] commercials.

Is it deceptive advertising that the new Nanos begin to 'cum' in the final 10 seconds of the commercial?
I think Apple would tell you that more 'variety' is better when it comes to colour choices. However, according to the 'Pinkifying a Product Makes Your Product Less Authentic' theory, Apple might be weakening it's brand by enabling empty females to 'feel like their pink iPod truly represents them' while they work out at the gym. 
It's sort of like when ur fave sports team makes various coloured jerseys for women (pink) or St. Patrick's Day (green), and u wish they could just 'stay authentic' instead of trying s00 hard 2 sell jerseys.
BUT SRSLY...
Does n e 1 miss the bulkiness/minimalist interface of the early iPods? the 'mini' was s00 bulky!
I read in a tumblr that minimalist, 'no bullshit' designs+interfaces are gonna be big after a disease wipes out half of the Eastern world in 2k10.
What should I buy? (I just made like a hundred dollars doing some freelance design).
I just want to accurately represent my personal brand based on solid consumer choices. I want to make sure people know that I am tech-savvy, but I can still appreciate 'the small, quirky stuff about life.' S0 tough to be a consumer in our modern world with s0 many choices, yall...
Should I buy this mp3 player that is shaped kinda like that Chinese Sports Arena Stadium called 'the place where the birds live'?
Architecture is so zany these days, yall. R.I.P. Frank Lloyd Wright (miss u s0 bad)
I need a new computer since I have over 1,000,000 GB of mp3s of underground electro/fidget-core/meaningful-core/Iranian-Power-Pop and traditional French House music.
Whenever u buy a computer, it's important to assess your basic computing needs. My basic needs for my computer are as follows:
Should I buy this new Dell that appeals to mainstream free spirited alts that are 'afraid of having to learn how 2 use a Mac'?
Or should I buy the new Mac that is supposed to be better than the iPhone.
Is it alt to buy a desktop computer and pretend it is portable, so when u go into a coffee shop, u can just plug it in and pretend that u r a normal bro.
I kinda wanted to buy a DVD...
should I buy a movie that helps me deal with teen issues regarding faith, society, organized religion, 'fitting in', being disabled, and teen pregnancy?
"I'm smart. I see the real world. I h8 mainstreamers who go 2 a weekly Teen Bible Study that incorporates current day teen issues." - a teen atheist 
I love the genre of movies that are written by old people who have the mindset of a progressive high schooler. (the JUNO theory?)
Does Zach Braff have the mindset of a Progressive High Schooler? How did Progressive High Schoolers take over the mainstream 'authenticity' perception market from 2k0-2k6? I feel like the 'respected' Hollywood celebs are always those who have the mindset/outlook of a Progressive High Schooler
(I know what yall are asking...is Macaulay Culkin alt? I don't know the answers to everything, yall)
Should I buy an alternative watch without numbers to show how quirky I am?
I've always wanted to leave my home in suburbia and live a free-spirited intellectual lifestyle in France. Should I just buy a Dell Desktop computer and get this keyboard baguette wrist cushion instead?
I read in a wikipedia entry that in France, they don't use traditional 'money', they just exchange liberal ideas & musings on life+society. (sounds like a terrible place 2 me)
n e ways...
I have always wondered what it would be like to be a Father-Who-Doesn't-Have-An-Authentic-Connection-With-His-Son. It seems like the only bond they know how to share without getting vulnerable is sports.
If I were a Father who 'didn't know how to show my son the love I had for him but just ended up talking about sports all of the time', I would consider getting him this memorable box of cereal.
If you were Michael Phelps and turned down Wheaties, you would have picked the following cereal:
a) Cinnamon toast Crunch
b) Cookie Crisp
c) Rice Krispies
d) Cocoa Krisps
e) Fruity Pebbies
f) LIFE
g) Golden Grahams
h) Corn Pops
i) Smacks
j) Kashi Go Lean Crunch
k) Reese's Peanut Butter Cup cereal
l) The cereal in bags for poor people/minorities/white trash
m) Clusters
n) Honey Bunches of Oats
o) Cocoa Pebbliers
p) Honey Comb
q) Apple Jacks
r) Raisin Bran Crunch
s) Cheerios
t) Chex
u) Crispix
v) Doesn't eat cereal--only pop tarts
w) parents didn't love me so I never had breakfast--i had acne and ate hotpockets
x) McGriddles
y) Chili's Breakfast
z) Alphabits
aa) I have diabetes from eating cereal every day of my life
bb) KIX
cc) TRIX
dd) CHOOSE . YOUR. OWN. RESPONSE
S0 MANY CHOICES....
what's ur fave cereal?
Remember the mid90s marketing campaign to try to convince people that cereal in bags didn't taste like cardboard?

They look kinda bulky. Not sure if I'd stuff it in an envelope... I hate how commercials make products look different than they look I R L (in real lyfe).
