is planet earth swirling down the shitter?

sometimes
there r stretches of time
it seems like we're living
in a magical world
the LORD G-D our savior
showers us with a multitude
of gifts & miracles
ppl like george bush are elected president
ppl like kanye west get 10.0's on p4k
arcade fire wins 'album of the century'
television is filled with programs like
'the american idols,' 'skins,' & 'the jersey shore'
it's fashion week in NY
ur parents just bought you a Vespa/$1000 fixie
u just found a giant bag of weed on the sidewalk
u just got a full-time job
u just got married to some1 u 'rlly <3'
ur having a babie
& will raise him/her in the most
culturally-enriched alternative vegan organic
environment possible

everything just seems 2 'work out'
everything is great

sometimes u <3 luv
effing everything

but sometimes...
planet earth just seems to b swirling down the shitter
& it makes u wonder...
maybe those Mexicans were right
abt the 'end of the world' in 2012

first this happened in some place called 'egypt'

then this happened in some place called 'wisconsin'

then this happened in some place called 'libby-yah'

then this happened in some place called 'the bronx'

then this happened in japan

then this happened in japan

then this happened in japan

then this happened on broadway

then this happened to my face [via bell's palsy]

& just to remind u -
this happened in wisconsin


yall
just doesn't seem like a good time
4 n e of us
maybe the end rlly is nigh
maybe we're doomed
maybe TOMBOY never will come out
maybe this is 'it'
i guess we did 'OK'
i guess we had 'a good run'

but maybe...

w/ a lil <3
and a lil hope
it's not too l8
if charlie can win, so can u
dyin's 4 fools
if we just pull 2gether...
if we just help each other out...
if we take care...
we'll get better
we'll pick ourselves up

remember
we're all in this
2gther

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
is planet earth/human societie 'tots effed'?
does living in a modern societie give us a 'false sense of securitie'?
r u worried 4 japan?
do u care more abt japan than u cared abt india?
have u seen 'spiderman'?
do u think this bro is ok?

sick of being a worthless grad student?

yall
so sick of being a worthless
over-educated
white person
effing hipster
grad student + intern
few practical skills
thousands of dollars in debt
24 years old
writing history essays
no one will read
doesn't matter
tired
worn out
give up
over it
sick of the pressure
anxiety
debt
rlly just want to be a boring
8-5 mainstreamer
just want to blog
just want to watch netflix
just want to play X-box
just want to eat TV dinners
just want to read 'the da vinci code'
and 'eat pray love' and 'the secret'
and 'the five bros you meet in heaven'
want to watch 'glee' and 'CSI'
want to order take-out thai
want to drive a hummer
want to have 2.5 kids
that will grow up to resent me
exploit me for money
to live in a trendy, brooklyn-like city
while they go to grad school
to study film, literature, acting
tired
worn out
sick of being a worthless grad student + intern
paying money
to make copies
have people judge my writing
eff it
social life dead
cant find a date
seems like a corrupt system
we all buy into it
'M.A./Ph.D. = social status'
but does any of it matter
does n e one actually 'give a shit'
sort of confused
over it
24 years old
over-educated
white person
effing hipster
no practical skills
thousands of dollars in debt

at least its winter break soon yalls!

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
yall tired of being a worthless grad student?
what did u learn in grad school?
did u get to go to school for free, or r u 'effing shit-deep' in debt?
should i get a p h dees?
why does life end after college?
why do ppl go to grad school?
why are jobs so boring?
why are ppl expected to get some 'boring ass job' they don't give an eff about after college?

r yall excited for the new facebook movie?

cant wait
so pumped
abt to cream my pants
bout the new james cameron 3D film
'the facial network'
staring that chill bro
from
'the squid, the whale, the dysfunctional parents, and the angsty tween'

as
Mark Zuckyburgs
founder of the INTERNET
no more need
for landline phones
hand-written letters
face-2-face conversation
just gonna sit in my room
& update my status
with quirky movie quotes

screw humanity
we will transcend mnstream earth-bound existence
we will transform from beings of blood and flesh
to bundles of JPEG digital pixels
1 little picture
representing my personal brand
shows how unique & authentic i am
compared to the rest of mnstrm societie

'networking'
'love'
'connections'
'stalking'
this is what life is all abt
but no1 knew this b4 u, mark

permeating, infiltrating, penetrating
everything we do

gonna bring my MacBook Pro/iPad/iPhone 4G/droid/starbucks
2 the movie premiere
gonna sit by 'myself'
but will frequently update my status/profile
w/relevant dialogue/quotes
& webcam shots of myself
so all my 'friends' will know
where i am
and we will be
'connected'
[via the face]

were u on fb when it was still 'underground'?
is the internets causing societie 2 become illiterate, socially incompetent, shallow, hollow, empty, & detached from realitie?

evr hopped a train?

Did you ever want to live life free
A life that’s free
From societie

Did you ever want to cast a net
A net that’s not
The Internet

Did you ever feel that you were born
To walk a path
Outside the norm

Dreadlocks, baggy clothes, overgrown nails
I want to tread some
Other trails

I want to shed my mnstrm roots
I want to wear
Some crusty boots

I want to see the other tracks
I want to live
The life that lacks

Material things, and shallow goals
And empty hopes
And pointless roles

The transient life’s the life for me
I have to leave
I have to flee

I want to be from everywhere
I want to be from
Nowhere where

I want to have a sad-looking pooch
To guilt people into
Buying me hooch

But I’m too scared and too caught up
I’m too secure
To leave, disrupt

The web I’m in, it’s all like this:
Education, Expectation, Family, Friends, the stuff my heart
Cannot dismiss

For fear of loss, for fear of fail
For fear it’s just
An empty grail

Without beginning, and without end
Never make
A lasting friend

Never know what’s come before
Never know
What’s next in store

I want to live a humble life
I want to live
A life of strife

I want to win, I want to loose
I want to abstain
I want to booze

Help me help me, transient bros
What life all means
No one knows

Wash your bodies on the beach
Let me know
What you’ve to teach

The wisdom of a vagabond
The sight of ripples
In a pond

Maybe it’s that we’re all the same
Nothing to loose
Nothing to gain

Trainhoppers, businessmen, blacks and whites
Fishermen, librarians,
Days and nights

All of us, all of us, lost in the sea
All you can do
Is be what you be

Maybe someday I’ll hop on a train
Or I’ll stick out my thumb
When caught in the rain

But probly its just a sight in my mind
So much in life
I can’t leave behind

Transient, trainhopper, crusty like bros
Good luck my friends
And as the world goes

You’re held in my heart, I wish you good vibes
Hope y’all catch some
Meaningful rides

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
r u a 'trainhopper'?
do you h8 'societie'?
do u feel trapped in a 'meangingless,' 'predictable,' and/or 'traditional' lifestyle?
do u shower?
have u ever 'hitched' a ride with an 'axe murderer'?
are 'trainhoppers'/'crusties' the most authentic humans?
are we all the same?
