Revealing the hypocrisies of society!!!!
magicmolly:
There comes a point in time (usually high school but sometimes later) when a certain kind of person figures out how to mingle his curiosity and self-awareness with tons of learned rhetorical tricks in order to inhabit convincing, seductive, and insincere poses. I think this usually happens to people who are precocious but not intimidatingly smart. If you find yourself in this...

That is no way to do it, I said, and talking to you now I see no difference. What are we talking about , darling—I’m tired of tired of what.

I love trash. Any music that’s dirty or dingy or dusty, ragged or rotten or rusty, or just devoid of any pleasures but the immediate, I tend to love - or rather, lust - with intense passion. Except Ke$ha. For some reason, her chart-topping blend of grrrl-power confidence, “Jack”-dropping…

In case you’ve got a hankering for a Plato Tipico…
1. Start with regular corn flour… People here prefer the hand-ground variety, but I settle for Comal, sold in the local supermercado.
2. Slowly add water to the flour, and knead with your hands until it reaches a playdough consistency. Form…

I have a bandcamp account! It’s so clean and non-trashy!

Homo intelligendo fit omnia
magicmolly:
The other day I met my mom at a café to play backgammon. I drank a coffee and she thought about ordering a hamburger but then asked for a grape soda. I rarely see her drink soda or anything grape-flavored and thought her order was bizarre. She did too, but it made her happy.

Docking (Each Morning)
Sixty-eight degrees I knee-
