being cool is what its all about, man.

that photo looks almost exactly like it was made out of our livingroom window. weird! sans barbedwire, of course, heh.

bashopoem March 3 2004, 06:27:32 UTC

we have matching windows! (sans barbedwire, cuz that would freak me out a little) =]

a while back I made a post about the concept of life as a "cool contest" and how stupid the whole thing is... and the person I was referring to in the post made a post to their journal (cause thats how these things seem to work), with a picture of the record player I was going to buy from her (she already had one) with a red vinyl White Stripes album on it, and the phrase "Fuck living for yourself. Life is a cool contest, and I win"... and honestly, looking at that, I didnt know whether to laugh or cry... being cool is a fairly simple formula if all you care about is being cool... youre cool... but youre also better than that

bashopoem March 3 2004, 06:43:41 UTC

i think anyone who uses a formula to get to cool is miles and lifetimes away from it. like taking a picture of a record player with a lame ass piece of vinyl on top and saying "i win". haha. so far off. the only person in the history of the world who could claim cool and get away with it was miles davis (hence his album, birth of the cool). but thats because he was the king of bop and could say those sorts of things.

ah...yungins these days...so clueless.

did you buy the record player off her? if you did, you should have told her you were only getting it so you could spin all your old tesla and white snake vinyls in proper fashion.

wanna hear something funny? i dont even own a record player. how cool is that? heh.

yeah i agree as long as you don't mean miles in the 80s. he got way too wacked out.

bashopoem March 3 2004, 07:24:35 UTC

yea. heroin and those giant sunglasses really started to take their tolls on the poor guy. but he was still the king in his former days.
