not everything is something

I found out why I have been having trouble downloading "Six Feet Under" torrents: organizations against filesharing have been planting fakes to disrupt people like me. Thankfully, I found a way around it, but I didn't even know that there was a concerted effort against it until I looked into it.

[HINT: go to The Pirate Bay]

I received my first copy of Runner's World, a subscription to which was my birthday present from my parents. It's fun: I always thumb through it when I'm in the bookstore but I can never appreciate it because I can't get all the details from it while I'm distracted in such a busy setting. It's useful because I need to buckle down even more if I want to finish my marathon and it presents more tools.

I like my music irony-free. I like my tshirts irony-free. I think that I'm starting to reject wholesale the postmodern hipster metaironic self-satisfaction. I don't remember when it became so important to turn life into some kind of *-asterisked footnote to a reference only the coolest will get. I'm tired of out-one-lining. I'm tired of sarcasm so pervasive earnestness is now interpreted as a joke. I know that if you're not laughing you're not getting it; trust me, I'm laughing and it's hilarious. I do, however, disrespect the devaluation of engaging anything anymore. Show some spine, people! Say what you really believe without a wink.
