So is glue sniffing a family thing, or is it just a coincidence?

I watch your videos all the time. I keep looking for the perfect one for the video roundup on the frontpage of the site. By “perfect,” I mean “doesn’t take two paragraphs to explain what’s going on.”

I actually didn’t check out the video first, but now that I have I can say that I almost kind of liked it. Aside from the fact that it went on for about fifteen seconds too long and seemed to rely on a repetitive and simple motif.

My face, however, did not implode.

Okay, I watched the video. It may be that I am too sunk in the depravity of the narrative film, but it seemed to me to work on the premise of “so obscure in meaning that it must be art.” At the same time, it’s only 41 seconds long, which is very much in its favor.

That’s because you are not “the chosen one.”

Well, I could have been, but I was gypped out of it.

Seriously, though. i like this guy/girl’s approach. Lazy, hackneyed and culturally appropriating. A kindred spirit. and i like the painting, too.

So, let me see if I got this right.

The new “cool” is to not try too hard at all? Since trying hard usually just looks like you are trying too hard? So, if you don’t look like you are trying hard at all, that must mean you are putting some effort into not looking like you tried hard at all and then you can be arty?

Did I get that right or was I trying too hard?

I’m lazy.

I appropriate culture.

I am too cliche to write hackneyed but I am too much of a hack to not want to.

yes, i think, maybe, you’re trying to hard. but i cant be bothered to ponder it too deeply… too much of G’odds work to be done right now.

It has always been cool to not give a shitt...

The audience does not want to be emotionally responsible for you being needy..
