ANN ARBOR MICHIGAN. The epicenter of what every fucking American had better be working for or you will be dragged out to the fucking swamp in a burlap sack. So much wealth and sophistication...everywhere. Posh restaurants...expensive beer...artsy fartsy things...All this useless beauty? right-o! I'm just a blue collar guy and I feel inferior to everything in Ann Arbor. There is people who actually shop in the Urban Outfitters joint. I'm convinced that this shop is the ultimate humiliation delt to humanity by the business class. I mean half of the merchandise for sale are items one would find in a thrift store ten years ago. Instead of paying fifty cents to a dollar though you may cough up fifteen bucks. The whole retro culture is utterly fascinating to me. Accessorizing to any extent just boggles my mind. I wasn't made for these times, right Brian? Still, I am a prisoner to my record and CD collection so I have no right to speak. I pissed away roughly 250 bucks in Encore and Wazoo. Totally killer ass music. Bob James, Coltrane, Stockhausen, Edgar Varese, Naked City, Cannonball Adderrley, Jimmy Smith, Gastr Del Sol, Albert Ayler, Art Tatum, Lester Young, Gary Numan, Drive Like Jehu, Gil Evans....too much dressing and no fucking turkey though...my turntable is still outta commish. No problem, I got plenty of CDs to run through like a biblical plague. Man, I can't wait to tear into this Flying Luttenbachers cd. I'm told it's a must for fans of this gonzo jazz nastiness. If you can't tell, I'm giggling like a 13 year old girl on a banana seat bike...WOO-HA! Sorry about all of the name-checking, but I'm too excited. I don't know if name-dropping is frowned upon by the hipster set. Is it hipster to make fun of hipsters? Conan O'Brien did a skit on the hipster set, I'm told. Would that make hipster bashing un-hipster? Pretty soon they're gonna turn hipster culture into what they did for those poor saps who skateboard and listen to punk rock. Put all of the shit into a tube and sell it off like crack cocaine. What are critical thinkers and free spirits to do when their lifestyle is a cereal commercial? My solution is to do the whole Mother Teresa bit. There is nothing as hip as relentless selflessness. Chomp on that one, brougham!!!! 
soundtrack of the day QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE "SELF TITLED" by all means the real mccoy if you want your rock with mean bitchy hooks. Like some kind of heavy metal Blue Oyster Cult or T-Rex...syrupy, crunchy, spacey, sexy...roll around in it!

and don't worry about what people on here think that's the beauty of this place you don't have to. as long as you're not an out and out asshole to someone or are intentionally malicious you're pretty safe.
1. i'm a skatebording punk
2. i'm 31 already and
3 it makes me fucking sick. when everytime i turn around there's some dork ass jock with an independent hat or it's on an ad for tampons or something.
oh and thanks for the compliments... i never thought i'd enjoy having an on-line journal. i thought it was somehow pretentious so i always try ad take the piss out of it and goof around. but that's just me.
edited to say: like a 13 yr old girl on a banana seat

i'm not familiar with all the details myself because i just found out about it myself. and i'm not sure if we're going because we still don't have a ride there or back. and i still have to talk dave into it...but if i tell him i'm going by myself he'll go. but i don't want to have to make him go, ya know? oh well, i saw that you were a member of the sgohio group you can get all the info from there or a member called mistressmissy--she's in the group, too.
