I just saw a sunflower growing through the asphalt on I-35.

last night I read a very powerful short story while listening to four songs on repeat and the confluence of emotion was so intense and piercing that it kept me awake until 3:30am.

29. What do you wanna do when you’re older?
maybe air traffic controler…?

isn’t it ironic how this whole family of good filesharing websites (waffles.fm, what.cd, indietorrents.com, demonoid.com to a lesser extent, and previously oink.cd) are all pro-sharing and obsessed with freedom of information and everything and yet are very very tight-assed about giving out memberships to their sites?

All the people on those filesharing sites are always ranting about how music should be for people’s enjoyment, the RIAA is so horrible, music should be able to be shared freely because of the first amendment, blah, blah, blah, and yet those same people get so much pleasure out of not allowing other people onto their sites. Such an elitist attitude! “Do NOT message me asking for invites. Any message asking for invites will be IGNORED!” And you’re just all about sharing the music, right?

And it’s not even their music! It’s someone else’s music that they’re sharing for crying out loud! They didn’t make the music! It’s like how hippies are all so crazy about sharing everything, but then when you think about it, they don’t have anything to share with anyone else. So when it comes down to it what they really mean by “sharing” is “mooching”.
