*REVS MOTORCYCLE*

kind of lol but mostly sad

like yesterday i was walking past Ground Zero and i have been watching the building there rise as it is being built because i work near it, and Wayne says on that same song i just quoted, “switchin up my flows like a nigga do construction” and i never understood it after 3 years of listening and like 400 itunes plays but then as i was walking past Ground Zero i realized he is saying flows and also floors with a southern accent, like a construction worker builds the floors of a building!!

Ott clearly wishes he could write like this.

ott has a point tbh

He does?

theres a wry ott goin on

why do you guys keep posting the biter version of my original joke?

we should take this subject seriously, find out who this guy's girlfriend is, and pick a fight with her

But I heard he and Ryan broke up?

I predict a wry Ott.

hahaha

and then i walked back to my apartment in bushwick over the bridge and someone sent me an email that had a link to a thread on a music message board about my Lil Wayne tattoo and at first i couldn’t bear to read it because why would people be anything other than mean about stuff on the internet. but then i couldn’t stop myself and i clicked it and read some of the entries and as i walked into Brooklyn off the bridge i got a 50 cent bag of pretzels from a deli and put on Casimir Pulaski Day by Sufjan Stevens on my iPod and sat on the curb outside the deli crying and picking the pieces of salt off the pretzels because i don’t want to eat that much salt because it is bad for your heart and makes you feel bloated

so to people who wrote nasty things about my tattoo or blog on the internet, i want to give you the same opportunity for schadenfreude that danny moving home gave me and i hope you got what you wanted out of writing what you wrote. i am not saying this so you will feel bad for me, i am beyond aware that there are greater tragedies to feel bad about than some kid getting upset about stuff some random people wrote about him on the internet and i will get over it hopefully by the end of the week

but you should also know that if you think the mean things you write about people on the internet would not bother them or have any impact on them because a certain amount of people read their blog or listen to their band or read their book or watch the films they direct, i want you to think about how vividly you remember the mean things people have said about you versus how vividly you remember the nice things, and how much those have affected you and lingered in your consciousness relative to one another

and it is also worth considering the next time you are tempted to write “____ is the worst band on earth, they have the worst lyrics and the music makes me want to vomit and their ideas are retarded and i hate them” or something in that vein. and i know i write criticism criticism and sometimes it has to be negative but i am doing my best to be civil about it and i recognize that some pitchfork writer’s bad idea or set of bad ideas does not make them a bad writer or an idiot. i also have written mean stuff about people on the internet in my day, but i am not doing that anymore because i want to be proud of how i live and the things i do and say, and the times i wrote mean stuff about people on the internet have not been moments i can look back on and be proud of

and i know this blog has had whatever exposure and everyone tells me to grow a thicker skin because some people are bound to hate it and some of it is corny, but in the way that i couldn’t just not feel bad about my friend sleeping with my girlfriend, i can’t just be like “i will decide to not let this message board bother me and then it won’t bother me” and if you can do that you are probably a monk with crazy mind control, and if you act like the people you are writing about can do that you are living in an emotional internet fantasy world. i also know that admitting a message board made me cry is embarrassing but i can’t imagine i was anyone’s model of stoic masculinity before this post anyway so there’s no great loss in that i think

so anyway i don’t want PRR to be a sad blog but some days you just feel sad and you can’t just command yourself to be happy, so hopefully tomorrow will be better than today and this blog will reflect that too, i hope you understand

:-( :-( :-( :-(

So the question is... is he referring to ILX?

prob yes

hmm well ilx is in the top 10 results for the search "pitchfork reviews reviews" lil wayne

poor kid

that tattoo is awesome btw imo

Yep, I like the tattoo!

We really didn't make fun of the tattoo at all, it turned into an Ott-fest instead.

my response was pretty much smh, dude's gonna regret this tbh

inspired me to get BURR inside my own lip

huge bummer if this is the thread he's referring to

which it probably is

kid is the best damn music writer i have read in ages and i am crazy crazy jealous, like knowing what truman capote was up to his teens & 20s level jealous. just for the record.

^ primarily why i have refrained from saying anything about him up to this point

how old is he?

your age i think

i think he's like 22?

i might've just made that up

he's a little older than that i think

he thinks a lot

truman capote?

not "too much" necessarily but

maybe he should think... less

contenderizer = truman catrolly

reading the part I quoted above was really, really depressing -- like, I don't want my stupid, tossed-off shit on ILX to hurt some super sincere kid

ksh, you should know that super sincere kids that have been abused by stupid, tossed-off shit on ilx are more likely to be offenders themselves

it's not your fault
