I'm Pretty Sure I Failed At Existing

My life has gone down hill from the last time you saw this blog. Also Fall Out Boy is great.

Does anyone remember that one MCR clip of Frank jumping off of a big 'mcr' set piece while they're playing on a tv show and absolutely destroying the drum set? Circa 2004/5? I feel like I'm going insane trying to find it

“Have you never stood to regard our home

from its farthest corner,

the long grass shimmering in the sunlight

as the wind combs through the field

like gentle waves in a great calm sea of green?

Flowers die. The trees fail.

The house can change brick by brick

until nothing of the original remains.

Everything changes.

So home is not the walls or the gardens.

Home is the souls within those walls.

Home is the memories made on the spot.

Home is not a place. Home is a feeling.”

people talk about how we need to bring back "don't feed the trolls" rhetoric for modern internet ragebait and I agree but also I think the most useful thing from the Old Internet that I miss is LURKING

be a lurker. just read things and think about them without feeling the need to weigh in or call out or disseminate everything you encounter. it's so nice and so freeing and it's a good way to learn things.

I have frequently regretted getting involved in shit that didn't involve me online but you know what I've never regretted doing? Lurking. literally lurk moar

worry not my lord, allow me to unscrew that jar for you. i would not want for you to strain your hand or break a nail. alright. hmm. HMMMM. HNNNGRGHHHHHH. HNNGGHHHH HRRRRRGHHH. AAAAAARGHHHHHHH fucking. squire fetch me my grippy gloves

I feel like all the "they broke weird al" "weird al got serious we're so cooked" comments about the killing in the name cover are missing the point. that is not a broken man. comedy is politics. comedy has always been politics. weird al has been satirizing politics for a long time because he knows the court jester can say to the king what other people can't. by doing a serious cover of an explicitly anti-establishment song that his gen x and millennial audience knows by heart when he's built his career on parody, he's saying this can't be satirized anymore and he's saying it in a very deliberate way that his audience will understand. those aren't the actions of a broken man, they're the actions of a man who is trying to tell you something. are we going to listen?

sometimes i be saying im gonna go to bed and then i dont go to bed. frequently in fact. this is because i have the heart of an optimist and the soul of a liar

I wish there was a polite way to tell someone that not only is the matter they are complaining about a complete non-issue, this un-problem doesn't even have anything to do with them. Why are you so upset about vegan protein food products being sold in meat-like shapes and packages. You inspect the ingredients of everything you buy anyway, and they are clearly labeled so it's not like you'll buy soy sausages by accident. You can literally just walk past them in the grocery store, you can ignore them entirely if you want to. The vegan fake-meat can't hurt you. You don't even know any vegans.

rip to you guys but i love assembling ikea furniture its so fun its like legos

[hottestthingalive]

people complain about how confusing assembling ikea furniture is and meanwhile i rise above their understanding and exist beyond their pitiful mortal comprehension as i spend a wonderful day assembling two twin beds with nothing but two hex keys, hope, and a whole lot of screws. 10/10 experience would do again

Everyone needs three hobbies: one to give you carpel tunnel, one to leave you sore and bruised, and one for your distant relatives to insist you monetize

and not to sound like a conspiracy theorist but another reason I hate the return of 2000’s th*nspo shit is bc starving does make women frail and has longer term consequences like early osteoporosis, brittle bones/teeth, insomnia, ect. Your muscles will start eating themselves. It also makes you extremely emotional and severely lowers your capacity for critical thinking not bc you’re a girl but because your brain isn’t getting any fucking nutrients so idk I just feel like its very convenient that every time there’s an uptick in fascist rhetoric and women’s rights are being stripped suddenly it’s peak fashion for women to be starving, weak, and exhausted
