Dear Mom,
I h8 how u do not ‘get’ me 1 bit. U need 2 pay attention 2 me so that u don’t end up looking like a dumbass shitface who ‘doesn’t care about her son’ when u try to do something nice 4 me. Recently, u went to a local Best Buy to get me a meaningful gift to go with last Christmas’s Macbook stocking stuffer. U decided 2 get me an iPod touch.

First of all… I already have an iPhone. Totally don’t need an iPod touch. s00 dumb. U srsly should NOT be alive. U need 2 read more actual publications on the internet instead of reading the local paper from 2 years ago. U think ur smart because u ‘have a career’ but the shit u do is meaningless, and I would srsly slit my own throat and wrists if I had 2 do what u do every day. There’s more to ‘life’ than ur version of life–I wish u could see it my way so that you’d understand my most recent personal brand implementation.

I SRSLY JUST TOOK A BOTTLE OF SLEEPING PILLS I AM SO PISSED OFF AT LIFE. /////

N e ways, Just wanted 2 let u know that record players are the new iPods. Just a more ‘organic’ feeling when ur listening to music. Like ur closer to the artist. (I might also give up my iPhone and only use pay phones.)

I h8 the idea of
1) purchasing mp3s
2) being ’so portable’ just like every1 else
3) co-branding myself with white earbuds
4) having some ghey-metallic coloured iPod
5) being ’so connected’ with a wifi connection
6) the audio quality isn’t authentic
7) Apple is a BULL SHIT MONOPOLY
8) The recent Apple product recall because Steve Jobs’s disease ‘contaminated’ a bunch of product lines

Record players are the future bc U have to make a decision about ‘where u want to be’ and make sure that your apartment/room/space is extra meaningful. It’s also more difficult to ‘collect vinyls’ than it is to collect mp3s, so it makes you ‘love music’ more that typical people.

I wish u’d realize how ‘out’ iPods are. They are for high schoolers and overgrown tweens. Do u really think I look like this guy?

I am a big fan of self-expression, which is why I love fashion, music, and other alt stuff so much. I am an ardent support of the arts (& crafts). I wonder if it’s cooler to make a hat out of a rare, highly coveted vinyl, or if it’s better to just use a crappy one, since there’s a chance that you might scratch the record.

Would you prefer the 7 inch model or the 12 inch model of the ‘Record Hat’? I am considering starting a company that makes hats and caps out of minidisc players, cassette tapes, and Microsoft Zunes.

This might be my favourite female summer look so far.
