so
tonight i asked an empty street if love exists.
since i’m feeling very emo lately, i’ve decided to channel my white boy man pain into a really bad idea. that really bad idea being rap. i’m going to sample the whitest songs i can find and rap in the least rhythmic drone possible about how much my heart hurts. first up, a song sampling the beginning of this song:
doesn’t get much whiter than that.
that i may have use for at some point in the near future, maybe:
blazing saddles
gets dylan
doesn’t like bad movies
[more to come]
FREE BOOKS
In, what will no doubt be a fruitless effort, to declutter my life a bit, I’m getting rid of some books. I’m way too lazy to be bothered with selling or trading them, and I hate to think of them gathering dust in a charity shop. As such, I’m offering them here on the old facebook before I cart them off.
Take a look at the list and email me if you want anything. Obviously it’s way more convenient for me if live in or around the greater philadelphia area. If you don’t, we can probably figure something out though. So seriously, email me, take these shits. Help curb my compulsion to hoard before I become one of those people who gets buried and dies in an avalanche of their own stuff and doesn’t get found for weeks.
