Lots of things have been nonexistant lately — my work ethic, for one. The junior year is indeed hellish. The only recent victory was going to prom, which was really a good thing for me, surprisingly. I have killed insecurity with a large stick! I fully expect it to zombify, but nonetheless, prom was a good idea. There was, however, an unfortunate side effect. I am now inexplicably attracted to the awful music of the day: Usher, Beyonce, and their ilk. I am ashamed. It’s just that downloading is so easy! It’s true: instant gratification is in fact the death of virtue.
I bet if I wrote more I’d feel less pressured to write well. This is not a new conclusion, but apparently not one I can internalize.
In two days I debate about the relative merits of Janet Jackson, Britney Spears, etc. And to think — last week it was tradable fishing quotas. It’s some downward spiral.
That last sentence… Makes no sense to me.
but wait… does killing insecurity involve…. dancing
because that would be… intense…
-man i forgot to eat yesterday and my essay is crap so i don’t even think you should waste your time on it but its in your mailbox cus i gotta send it to my teacher anyway, haaaaaa ghalib
STOP WATCHING MTV. IT WILL DESTROY YOUR MIND!!!!
that’s right! You should watch CMT!
no really.
for serious.
But I think you have an excuse with Beyonce, what with “Crazy in Love” and all. It’s rather infectious and creeps up on you unexpectedly.
I feel your pain: why did I have to start liking “Toxic” before I found out it was Britney Spears? Now I have to wonder whether I’m becoming a mass-market pop fan or Britney is becoming a musician, both of which are very frightening thoughts.
VICTORY IS MINE, YOU PRETENTIOUS MUSIC-SHUNNING STRUMPET!!!
You watch MTV? God save us. That channel is for puerile, prepubescent teeny-boppers. Why can’t you just listen to Bach like normal intellectuals? Sigh.
Although, if you start listening to rap, it’ll give me the chance to mock you and eradicate your macrocephaly.
see. arman understands.
not sure how watching mtv makes anush a strumpet.
anush: it’s ok, we all have our vices. i really like “hey ya” and almost like “toxic”… i absolutely agree: is britney becoming an artist? eeeee!
david’s doing a case study. it involves him having madonna and britney spears songs stuck in his head constantly, though, so i have quit caring about its result- i want it to be over!
don’t worry - she didn’t write it. your david’s case study better not be an excuse for him to watch britney cavorting about on the silver screen. we can probably trust him, though. anyone who can dislocate his shoulder in his sleep must have some basic decency.
arman: the proletariot hates you.
