HIPSTER RUNOFF

We will never forget you Sparks. [miss u]
We will have 1 last night with you.
We will buy an entire case of Sparks
and drink you until we cry
orange tears

Men, women, and children
will drink you
like it is the last drop of water/cum/gasoline
on God's Orange Earth

We will put our tongues together
(stained with orangest, sunniest delight)
and remember
our glory days.
We /// were /// electro soldiers.

In this picture, there are 6 BFFs having a memorable night, getting buzzed with a group of their closest friends. Mainstreamers can only see 5 people, but authentic alts see Sparks as a bro.

SRSLY tho...
Is SPARKS the new HEATH?

What would u do if u had the last case of Sparks in the world?
Plz continue 2 send in yalls Sparks Tributes.
This is a mourning process.
(kind of like when some1 u know dies, and their myspace/facebook page is still active and people write 'miss u' on their walls)

AltBro or AltBag is a game where I post a picture of an alternative male, and the HRO readers must decide if it is an altbro or an altbag.

Please justify your response.
For example: "He is an altbag because _______."
or "he is an altbro bc _________."

The first 100 responses will receive an all-expenses paid trip to Chili's in Suburbia, USA.

HIPSTER RUNOFF: AN AMERICAN BLOG

Every one remembers the day the towers came down. On that day, every one in the world felt more American than they had ever felt. Whether you were a kid who lived in suburbia, or some one from the North Eastern United States, you will never forget September 11, 2001.

We all have a personal story, and a connection with 9-11. We all have our own coping mechanism which helps us move forward. Some people 'make 9-11 towers falling jokes' to hide their pain, and others are more directly vulnerable in a traditional way.

But did u ever think u'd see alts 'gettin they drank on' in cardboard replicas of the World Trade Center in the year 2k8?

's000 buzzed'

Progressively Mourning or just 'being inappropriate'?

Do alts in cardboard World Trade Center replicas just need attention, or are they 'the future' of learning how to cope with global tragedy?
How does this make u feel?
How do u deal with tragedies on a personal and global scale?
Is it difficult for you to 'mourn' because of the 'mainstream way that u r supposed to be sad about stuff'?
Is it difficult for you to mourn because it makes u feel less unique if u r as sad/shaken as some1 who isn't as smart & interesting as u?
Who is the real person inside of u?

<3 Let's get vulnerable: Coming this week <3
