i don't see how you could be disappointed.

Sam woke around 3:30 p.m. and saw no emails from Sheila. He made a smoothie. He lay on his bed and stared at his computer screen. He showered and put on clothes and opened the Microsoft Word file of his poetry. He looked at his email. About an hour later it was dark outside. Sam ate cereal with soymilk. He put things on eBay then tried to guess the password to Sheila’s email account, not thinking he would be successful, and not being successful. He did fifty jumping jacks. “God, I felt hosed lying on the bed,” he said to Luis a few hours later on Gmail chat. “I wanted to fall asleep immediately but that is impossible. I need to fall asleep. Any second now. Just fall down asleep.”

“I played video games,” said Luis. “Perfect Dark. I killed people for two hours then I got bored. I know what you mean by impossible.”

“This is hosed,” said Sam.

“You know those people that get up every day, and do things,” said Luis.

“I’m going to eat cereal even though I’m not hungry,” said Sam.

“And are real proactive,” said Luis. “And like are getting things done, and never quit their jobs. Those people suck.”

“We get poo poo done too,” said Sam. “Look at our books.”

“I know, but that brings in no money,” said Luis. “Are we, like, that word ‘bohemians.’ Or something. Our bios: ‘They lived in poverty writing their masterpieces.’”

“We are the hosed generation,” said Sam. “Someone release the press release announcing this. Look at that typo.”

The word “announcing” was almost twice as long as normal.

“I’m laughing,” said Luis. “That is a good typo.”

That sucked. You think that fruity asian poseur is awesome? Let me tell you about awesome, I get up at 1 pm every day because i am an unemployed failure with no outlook and even little money. Ive put easily 500 hours into various oblivion characters, all orcs. I drive drunk several times a week, bravely risking the lives of myself and those around me because i am too lazy and cheap to plan ahead and call a cab. I avoid showers and sometimes substiture them for dips in my hottub. i stick my dirty dick in only the finest holes on only the finest women, regardless of race, nationality, socioeconomic background, political outlook, or level of physical ability. Sometimes i dont even wash it before having sex again. I am a crusader for civil, sexual and hygenic freedoms. Sometimes i tip shitty waitstaff with jesus pamphlets i steal in bulk from the truckstop. I SHIT WHEN AND WHERE I WANT INCLUDING THE FLOOR NEXT TO PERFECTLY GOOD TOILETS IN WORKING CONDITION. I AM LIKE THE GEORGE WASHINGTON OF THE POST 911 ERA. HAVE YOU READ MY BOOK "FUCK WHOEVER YOU WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT"?

NASA's budget 2010 was $18billion. The war in Iraq costs roughly 2Billion per week...or around 100billion/year. Just to blow the shit out of brown people.
I'd rather send probes into space and learn something. The military never has to hold a bake sale to buy weapons, but everybody else has to scramble for funding.

S


Lol that old fart is SO RIGHT. I hate when im on a flight to california and the intarnet goes out and i have to watch "maid in manhattan" on the shitty free "were sorry the internets broken so were going to torture you with this free movie" headphones. I mean fuck can they make those thins ANY MORE UNCOMFORTABLE? How about you just have ron jeremy shove them into my ear WITH HIS DICK. And dont tell me just dont watch it then because have you ever sat on a plane trying to read while every other faggot there was watching the movie? I MEAN ITS A JENNIFER LOPEZ MOVIE, SHUT THE FUCK UP ITS NOT THAT FUNNY.


Srsly though it always gets me when rich people tell me to "chill out you worry too much everything is great blah blah blah" maaaan SHUT THE FUCK UP FREAL. When is the last time you couldnt pay for prescription meds? Or couldnt make your credit/insurance payments? Or had someone steal your identity and relieve you of your last hundred bucks? Whens the last time you were evicted? God i HATE when i can only buy two bugattis and a koenigsegg instead of two bugattis, a koenigsegg and a pagani....next richer that downs on me for being discontent with my lot in life gets a TIME TO GO.

1. Louis is hilarious

2. unownunown you are being that sort of person I really despise right now. That person who mistakes subversive (semi)intelligent debate for mean-spirited argument and decides to diffuse the situation by trying to dumb down the conversation. I like to contradict people and then follow the resulting criticisms. It is a way to better myself and to explore the perspectives of other.

3. I just want to be a dick today.

4. devunlijp is absolutely 100% correct(on the issue of space vs. military funding)

lololol my posting tao lin shit (did you define that as dumbing down the conversation, or was it the otters?) was in response to the general spirit of the thread which was pretty stupid, in my (semi)intelligent and subversive opinion. not that there's anything wrong with complaining about the current state of american education, outsourcing or talking about space travel or anything, but the way it accumulated indicated it wasn't going anywhere that would give justice to either of those (extremely complex) topics. i didn't mistake it for 'mean spirited argument,' i just felt the urge to throw the conversation off track yo.

and if you are talking about the otters, if you're defining subversive (semi)intelligent debate about tao lin's writing as "That sucked. You think that fruity asian poseur is awesome? Let me tell you about awesome, etc..." then i have nothing to respond with but :lol: now, do i personally think tao lin is awesome? i dunno, there's a lot of interesting stuff in his work. he has a lot of interesting ideas and i find him just to be an interesting person, probably (at least partially) because of how people seem to generally flip shit when you mention him in literary circles. i like how polarizing he is. what kind of subversive (semi)intelligent debate can you really make about that manner of opinion?

in conclusion to probably the longest post i've written on ilf, honestly there wasn't ever any subversive (semi)intelligent debate going on in this thread and i find it incredibly humorous that you chose to use the words subversive (semi)intelligent debate.

the end.
