Christ on a crutch. On an almost daily basis, I feel the urge to take a break from Tumblr just because I can’t take the rampant self-absorption I see on my Dashboard.
Pictures of yourself, journal entries, pictures of yourself, journal entries, pictures of yourself, journal entries… does nothing inspire you outside of your own face and your sad little life?
we cling to music, to poems, to quotes, to writing, to art, because we desperately want to feel together. we want to know that we are not going crazy and that somewhere else out there, someone is feeling exactly what we are feeling.
Imagine the earth’s population of six billion people reduced to just one hundred representatives. Statistically, that makes 30 white, 70 non-white. It means 6 people own 59% of the wealth and they all live in North America. 80 are in substandard housing. One has an education. One owns a computer. Don’t blame me if it all sounds crazy.

Marcy Playground - “Comin’ Up From Behind”
Always in life an idea starts small, it is only a sapling idea, but the vines will come and they will try to choke your idea so it cannot grow and it will die and you will never know you had a big idea, an idea so big it could have grown thirty meters through the dark canopy of leaves and touched the face of the sky.’ He looked at me and continued. ‘The vines are people who are afraid of originality, of new thinking. Most people you encounter will be vines; when you are a young plant they are very dangerous.’ His piercing blue eyes looked into mine.’ Always listen to yourself, Peekay. It is better to be wrong than simply to follow convention. If you are wrong, no matter, you have learned something and you grow stronger. If you are right, you have taken another step toward a fulfilling life.

Not only are these godawful flow-chart gags unfunny, tedious, and a pain in the ass to read, this one seems to endorse drunken date-rape of women who are dressed “slutty”
Perhaps a new low, Dashboard.
