retirement
I don't want to be a blog any more.

Tired of being a blog, and the negative connotations that come with 'being a blogger.' I possibly want to be 'a writer' instead of 'a blogger.' I don't want to have a blog, I want to have a well-respected website that provides insightful commentary on relevant issues, and gets Dugg. I am not sure how to accomplish my goals.

I might try to make my website 'less bloggy.' Not sure how to do this. Maybe if I turn off comments, my posts will seem more 'absolute', like it doesn't matter what n e 1 says. Maybe I will change my font. I recently read that Helvetty is an 'immature font.' Just want to be taken seriously, and seem 'hella attractive' to advertisers who want to reach the most coveted demographics.

Just want to 'report stuff', but also write 'very formally' without any gimmicks, even if it feels less natural to me. Just tired of being a blog any more. Not even sure if my goal in life is to be 'worth blogging about' n e more. Just feel like everything is irrelevant. Part of the alternative long tail, or something.

Feeling meaningless. Feeling like even when u become 'relevant' on the internet, maybe it's still a lil meaningless. Sad. Not sure if I still want to be a 'blog.' Not sure if 'blogging' is a viable career option. My parents are making me change majors from Design to Chemistry so that I can get into medical school.

Not sure who I am n e more.

'Another day, another meme.'

'So Many blogs, so many memes.'

'So many memes, so many [vias].'

'So many buzzbands, so many pitchforks.'

'So many niche blogs, so many ad spaces.'

'2Many Bloggers.'

Might start a 'website for opinions' instead of a 'blog.' Might be a dying format, kinda like 'magazines/newspapers.'

Might retire.


Thinking about retiring from blogging. Not sure if I 'have it in me' any more.
Feel like 'the scene' is just so negative. Always just been trying to be a chill positive bro. Seems like every1 is 'out to get one another.' I don't even 'have fun any more.'

Feel like I have lost in touch with 'the common man' who reads my blog. Think it 'went corporate.' Damn. Just trying to be 'me.' Trying to build a meaningful brand on the internet.

Worried. Think I possibly have 'blogged about everything possible' in my niche. Wonder if I have already written 'the perfect blog post.'
Might just try to 'see the world' and like 'travel to the other side of the world.' Might live in Paris like that 1 song.
Feel like my blog 'possibly crossed the line.' Remember I got hacked one time, and I thought ' i lost everything.' but now it's like I lost everything, except I did it 2 myself. Not sure if I am 'relevant.' Feel like I am 'just another site on the internet.' Maybe I should have never even started a blogspot.

feel like 'such a fucking fuck up.' Shit.
Worried. Never thrown down 'an emotional blog' before.
Not even sure if I am still an mp3 blog. Don't even know who I am.

Should I just 'retire'?
help me. do I even 'mean' something 2 u?

'do i have a reason 2 be alive?'
-hipster runoff

'why am I here? who am I? what do I believe in?'
-hro

Wish a 'less fortunate' alt would say 'Carles u mean the world 2 me' so I would be 'inspired.'
worried that googlewave will 'change the internet' 4ever.

HRO Commenters Remember M.I.A. (god bless her soul)


Anonymous: She's not fucking retiring. She's just retiring from her live shows, She's still going to make albums. Somebody needs to teach that bitch what the world "hiatus" means.

Anonymous: i never rly gave chance to m.i.a 2 and once i even said she sucks.
does that make me a bad person?
are alt bros who actually listen to m.i.a getting more tugs from alt black girls?
that song with the guns and sh1t sounded OKAY, and she was KUTE :-(
i guess it's time to MOVE ON to the next 'KUTE and sounds OKAY'black girl.

Anonymous: I saw M.I.A. at Lowlands 07 and it was so awful i left after 20min. She was so drunk, couldn't remember her songs and the sound was so distorted it was like watching a black Amy Winehouse inside a boombox from the 80's turned up 4000%. Actually it was worse then that cos that actually sounds kinda good. Kala blowed. Galang boomed. Meh.

Anonymous: I saw her havin a [HIGHLY RECC'D] drunken argument with then BF/mentor/fellow alt-celeb Diplo.
3> Alt-Celebs are human too 3>

Anonymous: my last memory of m.i.a. was also my only near death experience. basically at coachella her tent was so crowded that i got trampled to the sound of her opening song "bamboo banga"....i can't hear that song without thinking that a 300 lb mexican altbro is gonna crush me between himself and like four other innocent bystanders.

Stan: i heard m.i.a has\had nice ass? is it true?
Hannah: she came to my school and all i heard wuz gunshots alldayeveryday

Anonymous: why do we care? SHE'S UGLY

one time I wuz at a [HIGHLY RECC'D] festival, and had 2 relieve myself. I proceeded 2 the bathrooms, and there wuz Maya Arularprgamsfjasff standing between two urinals. I wuz 2 confused, but I whipped out my penis and she gave it a little tug. I'll miss her 4 sure.

Anonymous: Wow! You guys are so ironic and funny. Fact of the matter is that Kala was a great album and MIA was a great artist.
