POYA: Miscellaneous shit
Published: September 26, 2008Section: Arts, Etc.
Haters: Oh no, he said “shit”! That means he’s just trying to be inflammatory without having any actual ideas!
Critics: He used the term “haters”! That means he’s a wigger!
Intellectuals: Why the racially charged dichotomy between “haters” and “critics”?
Many people?: What is this pretentious meta art school shit?
This revolution would not have hatched in my thoroughly irregular cranium were it not for the following people/things:
*My parents-for giving birth to me, bestowing more or less unconditional love upon me, and teaching me how to intelligently question everything.
*TV on the Radio-for being the best musical artist in America (possible exceptions-Kanye West, Lil Wayne, the Hold Steady).
*Christina’s dad (former Colombian student revolutionary and bona fide asshole) -for putting the gears in motion by making me simultaneously pissed off at him and America.
*Andrew-for putting the gears in motion by making me simultaneously pissed off at him, myself, and America.
(This is Andrew’s website: www.macheteparty.com)
*Andrew’s Cooper Union friends-for making me pissed off at art students and hipsters in general.
Speaking of thoroughly irregular cranium, here is something interesting about me:
I’ve never been able to read a newspaper all the way through—including this paper— because of some weirdness in my brain that makes it difficult to process information. This is why sometimes I stare at you with a glazed over look in my eyes when you talk a lot.
T-shirt idea:
Front-Not the next Abbie Hoffman
Back-The first Maxwell Price
Biggest fear: Being branded an egomaniac or megalomaniac.
Biggest hope: Changing America.
A facebook message from a friend (“friend?”) at the Justice:
i thought this might interest you, since you plan to publish a series of potentially controversial/provocative/[if none of those things, at least serious and emotional to many people] articles.
