HIPSTER RUNOFF

I saw on a weblog that Pete Wentz, lead singer and keyboardist of the popular band the Fall Out Boys, went to Africa. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever go on some sort of philanthropic mission. Feel like that's when u can really learn 2 'appreciate ur own life.' I think u feel like a better person after u surround urself with 'the less fortunate', but I think u might get depressed if u stayed there 4ever. Not sure if I will get to go on a pilgrimage since I quit the Christian Youth Group at my local church since I abolished God from my life [via fighting with my parents when I told them I didn't want 2 wake up every Sunday morning 2 go 2 church].

It's kinda weird how ur supposed to go somewhere where ppl are 'less fortunate than u' at some point in ur life. Whether it is Africa, New Orleans, Detroit, or rural Missouri (the meth capital of the world), there are people who are less fortunate than 'us' every where. Just want to appreciate my family + personal social networks on the internet more than ever when I see people who are 'suffering', 'uneducated', 'hungry', and '0% self-aware.'

Pete Wentz is actually 1 of my biggest alternative heros. I think he embodies all of the best traits of 'being on the 1st wave of AltBros.' Kinda think most alternative people would trade their quest for an authentic life 4 a chance to be in a 'popular mainstream band that is marketed as being ALT' and 'making love to Jessica Simpson's malstream lil sister.'

Just want a healthy relationship where my significant other has the same 'version of reality' as me. Just want some1 who 'enables me' even if it turns me in2 less of a 'real person' and 'more of an unhealthy character from a modern indie film.'

see yall in Afrika. Hope JetBlue flies there in 2k10.

Miss u Am Appy Afrika

XX BONUS OLD PETE WENTZ COCK SHOT MEME XX

Need 2 get a quirkily dark tattoo in my pelvic region so that I can 'spooge' on it while I pleasure myself [via internet porn].
I wonder if Pete Wentz knows that tattoos actually originated as 'cave drawing doodles' in Africa and the Middle East while Pangea was still breaking apart.

Yall remember the time I blggd abt that cobrasnake guy who made t-shirts in order to give money to Africans? I thought it was some sort of pyramid scheme 4 him to raise money for his AlternativeInterests, but it seems like he actually did go to Affryca!

Do yall wish u could start a site that is popular with alts & mainstreamAlts in order to get money to give to Africans? I wish I could buy/adopt some African kids. I hear they are only like a dollar a day. Sounds like a good deal, but u know, that adds up if they live to be over 18.

Every child on this planet should have the opportunity to wear a pair of Crocs. Crocs aren't just for Americans, or white people, or rich people, or poor-Americans-being-helped-by-Rich-Americans. We should all be able to wear our favourite pair of Crocs 365.25 days per year.

There comes a time when every entity with a 'public voice' has to use their voice 4 good. I'm not sure what cause I'm going to rally around, but it will probably be something tangible/meaningful in my 'personal life.'

I'm more worried about American problems than global problems. Stuff like 'traffic', 'information overload', 'slow internet connections', and 'establishing healthy relationships with my parents who don't 'get' me.' Maybe even depression. If I only had to read blogs my whole life instead of books, I probably wouldn't even know what 'Africa' is.

Did u know that over 25% of Americans still use dial-up internet? We're basically a 3rd world nation, yall :-(
Things will get better. I promise. Should I get an iPhone or a blackberry or wait for the gPhone?

xx BONUS PILE OF CROCS xx

In an effort to rebrand itself, the Cobrasnake is selling some shirts, and donating some of the proceeds to charity.

Product info:

350 shirts total
super limited edition
25 % of the sales go to charity
comes with a bunch of fun stickers
available in both mens and womens sizes!!!!

Let's do some math, assuming that all t-shirts are purchased by international buyers, AND that the cost of each American Apparel tshirt is $15.

+ (350 shirts x $35 sales price )
- (350 shirts x $15 price per t shirt from American Apparel)
- (350 shirts x $5 per shirt production overhead)
- (350 shirts x $6 average shipping cost per shirt)
= $3150 NET INCOME on sale of Africa t shirts

$3150 x 25% donation to charity = $787.50 donation by Mark Hunter!
[NOTE: I did not factor in the price of the fun stickers]

Save Africa!

I would [HIGHLY REC] feeding an African kid for 787.5 days.
