You know what? Fine. If you don't like doing... Things, then don't.

Today, a project was due.

An easy one. One that even hippies can understand. I won't tell you exactly what it was, because when you have a month to do anything, you're pretty likely to get it done early.

That's why you need to do things.


If you're staying at home making bongs out of apples and spitting into your shit-locks, I suggest you find a way to make a living out of that.

I don't get it.

How far have we come? Kids, about 18-20 years old, can make it. They have resources, they have parents who love them and they choose to grow their hair long and pay $20 for organic granola from some well-to-do mountain dweller on the mall.

Cool. I'm into that too. I like granola, fair-trade, organical whole food band-wagons.

But, holy hell, do you live in a bubble.

How many Rage Against the Machine albums will you buy before you realize that you're not a revolutionary? You're just some douche-fart with an extra cool MacBook who never really wants to admit that you're from the mid-west. To bad you're not Kanye West.

He's got it right. Hate him all you want; he bought everything he could, but he still banks on his cocky attitude and tells everyone exactly where he's from. Oh, and he's good at making music, even if it is mixed.

I know that I sound like some kind of Rush Limbagh listener, but dread-locked college dwellers get to everyone. I know they do. Andy from SNL knows they do.

So, if you lived in Europe for a summer, tell everyone that you like the way they think and then come back home because, as you know, you're going to change the world with your open mind.
