i'd be more willing to consider an argument that richard nixon is the best president in the history of america than i would that there's a better fast food burger than in n out

i think about alexa von tobel once every few months

I knew I had a coffee maker and some Holder's House Blend coffee in my cupboard somewhere so it was about time I tried it out. Honestly, the coffee wasn't so bad. I was so used to my morning corner-coffee shop routine that I forgot how much I enjoyed a simple cup of joe in my apartment before I left for work.

take this pot of coffee and pour it on your face

there was a period in my life where I drank 10 diet cokes a day

drinking 10 diet cokes a day sounds roughly as bad to me as just outright being waterboarded with diet coke

not hyperbole imo

not proud of what I've done

the sad thing is that for as gross as this piece is, it seems like a pretty garden variety, like, naive white journalism student pitch

i'm more taken aback by the entire existence of "hire me grantland" -- my life has been permanently changed more or less

i have trouble participating in this thread bc i am so inured to hyperbole, by j0rdan s.

dude developed a distinctive posting style and you can't even recognize

that one is particularly beautiful

i knew this thread would get bumped for that post as soon as i read it

and me as i wrote it but i'm not letting the machine becoming sentient stop me

that dog latin post should be an imprisonable offense irl

― d'eejban (J0rdan S.), Thursday, January 24, 2013 6:21 PM

what thread

77 tracks of 2012

oops i meant what thread is the og doglatin post. i never saw it despite all the talk

"Inspector Norse" is one I didn't get until I heard it out and then it all made sense

last night i slept in my bed without sheets instead of taking my sheets out of the dryer and making my bed

i saw this article in which gwyneth paltrow said "i would rather die than let my child eat cup-a-soup", i thought of this thread

coop-a-soup

imagining gwen holding a gun to her head as her child sneers, her little plastic red spoon overflowing with broth

that's a peach

not hyperbole, just lovely

the man was truly one of a kind. moreso than even his opinions or personality, what i will remember most about bill is that he was a walking history book. it's not an exaggeration to say that a piece of new york died today as well. it will surprise no one who knows either him or me that he was constantly incredulous over me not knowing basically anything about much of the pop culture that made him who he was -- our conversations were classes for me, punctuated by impressions of bygone actors whose lines he would recall from memory and with recite relish. many ppl know he once dabbled in stand up comedy -- he was in his own way a performer at heart. he soaked up such an incredible amount of new york culture that you cannot access online -- mets games from the 60s, richard pryor stand up sets from the 70s, yo la tengo hannukah shows, WMFU call in shows, leather parties... i'm barely scratching the surface. his memory of these things was so clear. and he never let up, even as he got sick and the world became cruel to him. i was decades younger than him, much healthier, and he made me feel like i was wasting my life in this city. he would drag me to mets games, to movies, even when it was obvious that simply climbing the concourse stairs at citi field was taking its toll. there simply isn't very many people like him left in new york. there are many things killing this city, but people like bill are taking history with them, and we will never get it back.

his appetite for introducing ppl to things was just voracious. i believe the last time we saw each other was earlier this year when he took me to see gregg araki's "totally fucked up" at moma. loved it, still think about the movie often, and it's something i never would have done otherwise. lord knows how many times he had seen it, how easy it would have been to not ride the subway an hour into manhattan on a cold weeknight. i got there late (typical), and since bill proudly refused to own a cell phone, i wasn't sure if he had actually made it. even as the lights went up, i thought maybe i would just be left to walk out alone into the night. but of course, that was never the case. a hand shot up and waved at me.

i will miss his companionship, i will miss knowing i was even a small part of what made him want to criss cross brooklyn queens and manhattan, and i will miss learning from him. he had an incredible run given the cards he was dealt, and yet it's still far too soon. he was a legend to everyone who knew him. rest in peace morbs <3
