Dear universe,
My one wish is to have really awesome makeout sessions with someone I really like. That’s all that’s really sorely lacking. Otherwise thanks, keep perpetuating the awesome for me. I will continue to be grateful.
Yers, etc.,

Packed with excloooosives, its worth the download!
One day, some day soon I hope, I will like someone who likes me back equally. Who wants to experience the adventure of life with me because it’s just simply more enjoyable that way.
Until then I’ll keep being my awkward, awesome self. Pangs of sadness surge and fade. Appreciation of this life is always constant despite all else.

Lately I’m plagued by these 10-minute bursts of absolute terror, where I realize that I am 31 years old, I’m unhappily single, I’ve lost all the career momentum I used to have, I’m not doing anything creative/fulfilling in my off hours and the clock is always fucking ticking. My body seizes up and…

pop historians — or, really, anyone interested in music that’s older than a month or so — should read this.
Hey! Welcome to the next three to four decades of my career! Digital impermanence and migrating data! Not trying to sound snide; I’m really glad this issue is gaining a wider audience.
