Reasons to rant

Well..i just realised basically no one is using blogger anymore and if you are, it's not going to get much traction unless you happen to be The Sartorialist or equivalent to that. Yes,i know,it's quite sad. Now go home and weep and sob because your meaningless existence will never cease to be anything but. Terribly sorry for being such a wet blanket but then again there's a fine line between optimism and delusion. As for me,unless you cross that line,you'll probably jump out in front of the first train you see. So i pretend that there are people who actually bother to move their fat, stubby and severly un-used fingers to click on their mouse and read my insignificant ramblings. Seriously,it gives me boundless joy..heck,i don't even need to take my anti-depressants anymore. On to what's going on with me and why i've been so absent from this blog (if you can even call it that). I've actually been living my life instead of being busy creating a fictional online life just to display how awesomely cool and sophisticated my "life" is. SHOCKING! I ACTUALLY HAVE A LIFE?! My deduction is that God's been doing some charity work in order to gain more support for Her/His campaign and at the same time boost Her/His polls. Other than forgiving a few sins here and there, She/He has been taking pity on pathetic dorks with monotonous lives,like me! I've no idea what kind of message this sends but as along as it's to my benefit,who cares? Unfortunately,I am that shallow and superficial..it's part of what makes me an asshole. On a musical note (pun totally intended), I've been seriously obsessed with Real Estate and it's extremely aggravating that i am unable to find their album "Days" anywhere. We Are Trees is another band that I just love, their EP definitely deserves some checking out. Michael Kiwanuka's music is also very real and organic. It's real people playing real music with real instruments which is totally worth your time. Unlike the autotuned, mass produced, manufactured pop you hear nowadays. Thank God (for the record, I don't believe in religion). Anyway,I still haven't read Franzen's "Freedom" which is really quite unfortunate because i've been meaning to for some time. Although,I've read Murakami's "Wind-up Bird Chronicles". yes,so i'm a little late but I don't give a shit. Do you? No, I didn't think so. Thanks for your concern. It's duly appreciated. Hmm....oh! I've watched Allen Ginsberg's sort-of biopic, "Howl". It's mind blowing how much James Franco's voice resembles Ginsberg's and not to mention, Franco does a brilliant job in portraying the talented poet. The thing that saddens me is that surreal movies such as "Howl" get almost little to no publicity whereas movies where glittering vampires impregnate expressionless humans get so much publicity that it's practically nauseating. And my flavour of the month is Joseph Gordon-Levitt, a fabulously talented actor. He's right up there with Julian Casablancas, James Franco,Jonathon Franzen and David Foster Wallace. Well, that's all for now. Till next time, my dear unloved...
