guys, some of you are adults. you might think this thread is lame--I don't care--but getting worked up about the fact that I started this is pretty much lamer than anything

Yeah guys, the correct response is "tut, click SB, move on"

Hey ksmarker, I am in support of your move, for whatever that's worth to the folks showing up here to post. I both get why you are interested and why you moved the discussion here. Eventually another story as relevant or interesting as the fact that the NY Times wrote a story about this dude will show up, and then yes, it will be good not to drag it into other threads.

i’m last and when he gets to me he shakes my hand and i say “it’s great to meet you!!” and he says “what do you do?”

and i am looking barack obama in the eye and i say, “i write a blog about a popular music website!”

and he looks at me quizzically for a second, i guess he was sort of piecing it together, and he goes, “oh, which website?”

and i say, “it’s called pitchfork. it’s based in chicago! are you familiar with it?”

and he says, “no, but i’ll have to look into it!”

the weird thing about the obama post is that, from my perspective, it is the PRR guy saying "hi, nabisco, I was IN A VAN IN FRONT OF YOUR HOUSE"

call all destroyer, Thursday, 29 July 2010 19:55 (thirteen years ago) link

I think there's probably a degree of Aspergers at work with this kid. I mean...

People with Asperger syndrome often display behavior, interests, and activities that are restricted and repetitive and are sometimes abnormally intense or focused. They may stick to inflexible routines, move in stereotyped and repetitive ways, or preoccupy themselves with parts of objects.

Pursuit of specific and narrow areas of interest is one of the most striking features of AS. Individuals with AS may collect volumes of detailed information on a relatively narrow topic such as weather data or star names, without necessarily having genuine understanding of the broader topic.

4. on the new OJ Da Juiceman video for the song entitled “Party Started” i think he says something like “if i don’t get wasted / blame the Jew-man” and then there’s a short clip of an ostensibly jewish man holding a bag of money and grinning. not to be like the rap anti-defamation league but like why does shit like this always get a pass

J0rdan S., Friday, 30 July 2010 04:15 (thirteen years ago) link

this is weird to me because i would read PRR in college when dude was my age. i was also aware of tavi at that time, who was described to me as a child prodigy.

Treeship, Tuesday, 30 September 2014 11:33 (nine years ago) link

i read his book, its not bad, hes tao lin but hanging out w/ more boring ppl if that's possible. it's obv a quick read and is relatable. the best part is like 3 pages long where he recounts applying for a job w/ an investment bank (only b/c he finds a woman who works there's cell phone in a cab), doesn't hear back for two and a half weeks, emails and tells her off and sez her company + their business ruined the economy, etc, and she responds showing him an email to HR that they were abt to hire him. it is the anecdote of a generation, and well told regardless of if it even happened

johnny crunch, Tuesday, 30 September 2014 12:45 (nine years ago) link

dating tavi would prob be v good for him like emotionally & socially cuz she seems well-adjusted and really healthy in those respects

johnny crunch, Tuesday, 30 September 2014 12:47 (nine years ago) link

Yeah that doesn't sound made up at all xp

such an upworthy anecdote!

bnw, Tuesday, 30 September 2014 12:50 (nine years ago) link

i wish i finished the novel i started when i was 22 about an aimless post-graduate. it was similar to this book in its self-involvement but involved a hallucinogenic crucifixion scene too.

treesh do u think this shapiro person might be a sexual degenerate and future chemical castratee

nakhchivan, Tuesday, 30 September 2014 13:10 (nine years ago) link

getting an email from an i-banker you don't even want to work for who is nevertheless eager to hire you is not the anecdote of a generation, it is the anecdote of someone with incredible luck

katherine, Tuesday, 30 September 2014 13:18 (nine years ago) link

i remember that cab/cellphone anecdote from his blog

Was happy for Tavi when I heard this like "cool she's got a bf", didn't realize that certain young New Yorkers were considered more hateable than others

two months pass...

I went back inside and looked through all of the merchandise again. I bought two packs of Supreme-branded Post-It Notes for $2 each. They were selling on eBay for $18 each.

I noticed that the guy working behind the counter was the white kid from Odd Future. I couldn't remember his name. He gave me a curious look. He must have noticed me sitting outside the store for four hours.

He said, "Do you need a bag?"

I said, "No, it's OK. It's just Post-It Notes." I put them into my jacket pocket.

I walked back outside and sat back down on the bench. I lit one.

I texted Camilla, "The guy behind the counter is the white kid from Odd Future. I just bought some Post-Its from him."

I Googled "white kid odd future" and looked through some pictures of him. He changed his hairstyle from blonde to black. Looked cool either way.

Camilla texted back, "Thought he looked familiar."

I walked over to Canter's to use the bathroom. I got a pastrami sandwich on rye bread with mustard and I ate it in a booth by myself. I slipped an Ativan into the sandwich and ate it like when a dog owner makes a dog take its medicine by mixing it in with its food.

I went into the bathroom, walked into a stall, and drank some vodka out of my bag. I took 5 milligrams of Mellow Yellow and 10 milligrams of Propranalol.

I walked back to Supreme and sat outside again. The sun was bright. I bought a pair of sunglasses from the white kid in Odd Future.
