I’m really not sure what’s ‘kewl’ n e more. Seems like we are in the ‘longest dry spell’ in the history of independent music, or maybe I am too relevant 4 my own good. I am thinking of getting some tattoos that serve as tributes to ‘The Most Relevant Times of my Life.’ Maybe some stuff like Justice Crosses, MerriweatherPostPavillion arm sleeves, and miscellaneous Paper Planes flyin’ around my body like krazie.

I am also considering tattooing the ‘best mp3s of the decade’ on my forearm, so that when I am in public, I will always be able to generate conversations in which I can thrive. h8 when people get a ton of unrelated tattoos, and don’t realize that tatties are art, and they are meant to tell a story about your life on top of your body. It seems like if I had a ‘Paper Planes’ tattoo, people would know that I was sort of ‘floating in the wind’ and ‘just trying to crossover.’

Much like the song, I am not sure if the tattoo will have ’staying power.’ Not sure if my kids will ‘get it’ when they are teenagers. Hope they don’t laugh at me. Worried that my kids will 1 day be ‘kewler’ than me. Hopefully I can just keep checking alt Websites until I die so that I stay ‘in the know.’ Always want my son/daughter to know that he/she will never be more authentic than me.

what did u do 4 labor day weekend? I had a lil sleepover and we made yewtewb videos.

Do yall think that M.I.A. is the female artist of the decade, since she was able to inspire mainstream lil girls to ’sing about issues’ and ‘make gun shot noises’?

If u had 2 get 1 tattoo that was a tribute 2 ur fave band/record label/lyric/music festival/alternative website/alternative concert venue, what would it be?

Yall have probably heard of the popular Roman Emperor ‘Julius Caesar.’ He was a bro who was once on top of the world, but then lost it all. Apparently, he had some sort of clan of bros, but then his bros got ‘mad jealous’ and ‘totally greedy.’ They decided to kill him, and even his main bro, Brutus was in on it. When he was about to die, he finally figured out that BrutBFF was ‘in on it’, and he just said:

‘Et tu, Bruté?’
aka ‘even u, Brutusbro?’

Here is a picture I made of Julius being betrayed by his group of core bros.

Damn. Wonder if the bro with that tattoo was ‘betrayed’ by some1 close to him, like his parents, a girlfriend, or possibly his best bro. Can’t imagine always wanting to remember that I was betrayed by getting a tattoo of it. Sorta reminds me of when Ed Norton got a swastika tattoo for the movie American History X, but then had to keep it for the rest of his life.

Also admire the bro’s symmetrical ‘Vietnamese execution bro’ tattoo.

Seems like this bro is ‘very in touch’ with human suffering, and possibly ‘outsourced his body’ to be some sort of symbol or think piece to remind ppl that there are ppl out there who have it worse than us.

He seems noble. I srsly would never do that. I feel like I’d end up getting a tattoo that was ’simple and kewl’ like a barb wire tatty around my arm, or possibly some sort of ‘interesting tribal tattoo’ that attracted females to me. Might just get a ‘zany tattoo’ for the sake of it being an internet meme.

Have u ever been betrayed by a core group of bros?
What do u do to remind urself that other people in the world are suffering?
Would u ever get a tattoo of an AZN being executed?

It’s kinda weird how the modern indiesphere has made personal branding so complicated. There are just so many subgenres of music, and so many ppl trying to ‘one-up’ eachother when it comes to their historical knowledge of music that we have lost touch with core values of ‘good music.’ I remember when ppl used to unite around ‘the best music in the world’ instead of getting ‘all divided’ abt it.

I remember back when branding was all about ‘peace, love, and music.’ All three values were held ‘equally’, and all were just as important as the other. Kinda reminds me of ‘Woodstock.’ From what I understand, Woodstock was ‘the first music festival ever organized’, and often recognized as ‘the most authentic music festival ever created.’

They are apparently making a ‘new movie’ about the Woodstocks called ‘Taking Woodstock’ (with my bros). I might see it, just 2 see what music festivals were like b4 they had sponsored stages and other ‘corporate bullshit.’ I feel kinda confused by the movie’s aesthetics. Seem like they are trying to break into the ‘college dorm room poster’ market.

Just watched the trailer. Apparently the movie is done by the AZN bro behind Brokeback Mountain (miss u Heathbro). Feel confused by this trailer. It seems like some sort of movie that is trying to reach mainstreamers, becoming some sort of ‘deep movie abt being a young adult during a cultural movement.’ Also probably about ‘hope’, ‘determination’ and other vague ideals related 2 ‘the human spirit.’

Feel confused about movies with this Almost Famousy aesthetic. It seems like people honor them as ‘being authentic’ but they seem ‘krappy’ 2 me. Like something you would accidentally watch on TNT on Saturday afternoon, and think ‘this was okay. I understand why old people/young people like it’, but just weird that they are considered 2 be ‘amazing.’

It’s like the people who think these movies are ‘awesome’ haven’t experienced the gimmick that is meaningfulcore music. Like they will never hear music that is ‘better’ than 60s + 70s music.

Kinda glad that the scene has evolved 2 what it is 2day. There really is more to life than ‘peace’, ‘love’, and ‘music’, and they don’t really have much 2 do with 1 another. In order to feel special, u must make 99.9% of the world feel unspecial. I am okay with the way things are 2day.

Do yall have a fave font that u would want to chill on ur body for the rest of ur life?

Wonder if I should write the actual font name, or possibly something else sweet, like a Dave Matthews Band lyric.

Feel ‘tired’ of blogging about ‘body art.’ However, I think that tattoos are becoming a ‘normal part’ of our modern culture, and more mainstreamers than ever are getting ’shitty tatties.’ Sorta wish I could be a mnstrmr, so I would just have to get like a ‘barb wire tat’ or a ‘butterfly tatty’ or something. Feel pressured to get a conceptually well-executed tattoo.

Just trying 2 be an individual. Might just let the world know that I ‘h8′ America.

Tattoo on Tao Lin’s body

Do yall know of any sweet tatties that are more than just ‘a doodle on a body’?

I remember back in 2k7, I was passionate about very different things than I am now. Electro blogs with neon layouts. ‘Bangers.’ Electro duos. I used to be a bloghousebro. Now it seems like ‘the world has turned and left me here’ since I got a tattoo of ‘the Justice logo.’ I’m not even sure if Justice are ’still together.’ They are probably playing the ‘theme park’ and ’state fair’ circuit with bands like Jessica Simpson/Bowling for Soup/Everclear/other bands that have ‘gone out to pasture’ 2 die.

These days, I only listen to Grizzly Bears and the Animal Collecting. It’s just kinda weird how much things have changed. Considering getting ‘Veckatimest’ tattooed on the shaft of my cock. I remember when I got my Jousteeece tatty, I told my parents that it was ‘biblical.’ Can’t believe I am ‘just another bro with a cross tattoo’ even though I don’t even really ‘get’ God.

Back then, I assumed electro would ‘be forever.’ I assumed that bloghouse would eventually become ‘mainstream’ and get played on the radio, side-by-side with top40 radio. Now I feel like if I brought ‘bloghouse’ up in a conversation with a circle of entrylevelers, they would say ‘what is that?’ I feel like I am possibly a music purist for being so connected to the bloghaus era.

Are my glory days behind me?
Should I have my tattoo ‘electronically removed’?
R u ashamed of the person who u used 2 b?

Yall. Been going through a lot lately. Actually ‘turned to the Lordbro’ to get through in my time of need. I feel like there are 2 things I my life that I truly love–God [via The Lord] and ’sweet titties.’ I decided 2 ‘kill 2 birds with 1 stone’ and get a picture of Jesus, the New Lord, and put a pair of sweet lil tits on him. It is also kinda a metaphor about my relationship with Jesus, and how my parents forced His ‘fairy tale ass’ on me.

Sometimes I even ‘jerk off’ and I cum all over Jesus. I try to get my semen on his face, and sometimes I rub them on my tattoo’s nipples. It’s sweet. I feel like some people would tell me that I am ‘weird’ but they probably aren’t in touch with their sexuality. I just want to test the limits. I want to cum so hard with a huge, erect cock. I just want to push the limits, kinda like the movie Eyes Wide Shut. Feel like David Carradine, also known as Bill Kill, knew what life was all about since he just wanted to get off.

Sorta hope I die in a hotel room with some AZNs, and have a rope tied around my neck/cock. Seems like the last thing I wanna do b4 I die is ‘blow my load.’

Do yall have any dark sexual secrets/secret tattoos that u would like 2 share? [via getting a regrettable tatty on spring break back when u were a masintreamer]

Yall. Still searching for an authentic tattoo 2 get drawn on to my body. I feel like no matter what design I pick, it will be pretty ‘kewl’, but I just need to find a place on my body 2 actually put it. Think that I might have it done underneath my armpits. I feel like I’m in a lot of situations where I raise my arms, like at bad ass concerts and other places where u get pumped up like bars and sporting events. It makes sense 4 me to get one under my pits.

Does n e 1 know if u have 2 have ur hair removed before u get a tattoo somewhere? Not sure how body hair can interact with a tatty. Would feel kinda weird having to shave my pits so ppl could see my tattie. Just want to be natural.

Nervous about my first tattoo. I just want it to like ‘make sense’, ya know. Not just like ‘a random set of tattoos like Marc Jakebros.

My body is not a sheet of a doodle pad. It is a canvas/photoshop .psd file upon which art is generated.

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.

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.

A pair of mainstreamers who are showing off their kute figures at an alternative underwear partie? [via buzzed on wine]

or would u rather be sandwiched between 2 altbros wearing miscellaneous American Apparel undies?

This post is meant to question your sexuality.
This post is meant to question what u desire in a partner.
This post is meant to question if u want 2 settle down with a mainstreamer or an alt.
This post is meant to question the authenticity of Am Appy coloured briefs.
This post is meant to question who u r and what ur needs r.
This post is meant to showcase GEEK LIFE [via tummy tatty].

Maybe all ppl want the same thing. Maybe we’re all attracted 2 the same features like ‘facial symmetry’, ‘big breasts’, a ‘healthy amount of curves’, and ’swoopy bangs.’

///All I ever wanted
///Was a handful
///of jug

Just want the tender touch
of another
‘human being’
without the emotional responsbilities

I read on a tattoo blogspot that male tramp stamps are going to be big in 2k9. Not sure if I want my tattoo to be 100% ’sexie’ or if it should be a little bit more conceptual and do more to differentiate me from ‘the crowd.’

I have also been thinking about getting something conceptual that turns my body in2 a work of art, but also lets every1 know ‘guys–i know i look rlly kewl, but I also know that I am a dbag [via mohawk].’

Might also get a tattoo that proves I am an internet bro who writes all of his memes 2 his twitter….

Maybe ppl will know that I am ‘ready 2 fuck’ if I get this ’spooging cum on my bro’ tattoo.

Does n e 1 have any good suggestions 4 an authentic tattoo?
While these posts seem zany, it is always important 2 remember that tattoos are like art, except on ur body. It’s like a post-it note, except 4evr, and it gets 2 say something abt u until u die. Til death do yall part.
