Why Do You Have To Be So FUCKING Expensive?


Dear MacBook:

I want you, I want you badly. You know how gorgeous you are, I'm sure you hear it from everyone all the time. Your simple and exquisite lines. Utilitarian and modern design. Nothing is sexier. Your like, so high fashion, so thin, what's your secret? The things you do make me wild. That 13 inch LED lit screen is hypnotic, I most definitely can handle those 13 inches.
I know you can fulfill my fantasy. There is so much cache that comes along with you. Oh is that guy using a MacBook? He must be somebody, somebody artistic and with it, he knows whats up. They'll be like: "Can we take photobooth pictures with you?".
There's only one problem. Why the fuck do you have to cost $1,299.00???!!! Bitch are you crazy? You know this is a recession right? I can't eat you and you wont make me healthier. At night you wont keep me warm and technically speaking I cant insert my dick into you. Of course you could fulfill my other needs....but...you're $1,2990 away. On a distant island where other Apple products coolly sit looking smug and nonchalant.
Do you want me to be in debt? Like millions of other of Americans? How many hours do I have to toil away in order to get to you. A shit-load, that's how much. Ugh...I hate that I love you.

Times Are Hard We Know You Gotta Pay For That Car!

We're in a mutha-fucken recession y'all!!!

I'm all about times being hard. Right now is not the time to be ballin' out of control or trying to be something your not. People are losing their jobs left and right.

Fuck materialism.

Fuck corporate advertisements that trick people into buying shit they don't need.

Fuck trying to chase things that ultimately have no value to your life.

Fuck buying things that end up owning you.

The silver lining in all this financial mess is that it will humble us and force us to be resourceful and consider what is top priority.

This message is inspired by:

Dont Front On The 99 Cent Store

The Cluster Fuck that is the American Apparel Holiday Factory Sale

Leeds and I went to the American Apparel factory sale. She went to buy gifts for other people and I went to update my wardrobe with some basics for the 09.

By the time we got there at 9 a.m. there were already hundreds of multi-ethnic hipsters in six-flag-style lines welcoming us. Seriously it was very hard to be originally dressed at this thing.

After TWO HOURS of waiting in a line with an obnoxious a crew of teenage girls from either the valley, the west-side or Glendale who spoke Israeli (or something like that) behind us, we were in.
One big thing that irked us was that they played Christmas music, ay wtf American Apparel I thought I had left work. At least they played our holiday jams "All I Want for Christmas" by Mariah and "Sleigh Ride" by TLC.
We had to rummage through a ton of cardboard boxes full of cotton/unisex/colorful clothing. It was hard to find my size and a lot of the clothes were fucked up i.e. they were cut weird, they were discolored, they had holes. In fact a couple of the shirts I bought have fixable holes in them. Seriously who the hell is a XXS?! I tried on some shit and found out that I have gained some weight (NO BUENO) that's why I'm eating on the low low.After four hours of being there we were good to go.

Toward the ends Leeds got a battle wound. OUCH!
57 bucks for 10 pieces of clothing, ain't too bad eh?

ONE DAY I WILL FUCK TO THIS SONG:

Black Lips "Veni Vedi Veci"


Even though it sounds really sexually raw to me; it is actually talking about religion.

Dope lyrics:

Mirror mirror on the wall
Who's the greatest of them all
My man Muhammad, Boy Jesus too
Who's messiah be good for you?

Cause I came I saw
I conquered all
All ya'll, all ya'll, all ya'll

People look towards Mecca's way
Sistine Cahpel people pray
It don't matter what you do
Holy World War will come for you

Cause I came and I saw
I conquered all
All ya'll, all ya'll, all ya'll

I Just Discovered "The Knife"

Their song "Heartbeats" is so fucking amazing! The duo is made up between siblings Karin Elisabeth Dreijer Andersson and her brother Olof Dreijer. Sweden has it going on: Robyn, Ikea, H&M, and now them. Their music is electronically emotional.

Check them out doing a beautiful version of "Heartbeats" live:


Their lyrics are equally as good:

One night to be confused
One night to speed up truth
We had a promise made
Four hands and then away
Both under influence
We had divine sense
To know what to say
Mind is a razorblade

To call for hands of above to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough for me, no

One night of magic rush
The start - a simple touch
One night to push and scream
And then relief
Ten days of perfect tunes
The colors red and blue
We had a promise made
We were in love

To call for hands of above to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough for me, no
To call for hands of above to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough for me, oh

And you, you knew the hand of a devil
And you kept us awake with wolves teeth
Sharing different heartbeats in one night

To call for hands of above to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough for me, no
To call for hands of above to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough for me, oh

"YOU TAKE MY BREATH AWAY"
