it's true

All the shit they say about being an ass when you make assumptions is totally true.

paranoia

Wow, the last few posts have gotten personal; I'll have to change that.

funny

Is something funny if the only person who tells the joke knows that it is a joke?  I think so.  Last night I had a conversation about how irony sarcasm and truth have all become the same thing now that irony and sarcasm have become accepted manners of communication.  Later that night I wrote something along the lines of "tolerance is overrated, this is a test and if you don't tolerate comments like that you aren't a tolerant person" I posted it after a friend posted a notice about the woman who saved anne frank's diary died.  I woke up this morning to a message from that person saying that she won't tolerate comments and that she considered my words to be hateful and anti-semitic.  Those things had nothing to do with what I wrote.  Technically her reply means she failed the test.  I find humor in the situation, I was being sincere.

My words had nothing to do with a specific person or topic, only the human condition.  As far as the death of irony I think I proved it still exists.  It's ironic that one of the most tolerant person is one who facebook deletes or blocks people who offend them.  la dee da, the world will end, the people we love will die, and so will we.  things don't stop when we die, hell even this blog will exist if I never post on it again.  I'm sad I lost a friend who meant a lot to me, I'm also sad she didn't see the truth in my words.  To see a good side in this I will say that my letter of apology is some of the best writing I have done in awhile.

I've never claimed to be anything but full of shit, take it all as you will.  I've said it before, disagree with me, challenge me, and all of that other shit. I relish in the chance to reply, I relish the challenge of defending my views or of being shown how wrong I am.

I am sorry that my friend was offended, I am serious about those words.

This is Bryant and I will come back and edit this, but right now I have to take a shower

song of today

This track got written up on Pitchfork today.  Solid Gold "Matter of Time" remixed by Tanlines from NYC.  The original version is what the soon to be released video is for.  I've heard the rough cuts are cool, but I am the only person involved who hasn't seen any part of it.  Once it is finished (very soon) I will post it.

Click here to listen; but go to pitchfork,com search for Solid Gold and buy the song

MTV does show videos, you just have to be awake at 4am to see them

This is the new Taylor Swift/Kanye collabo

1/2cool-1/2not cool

People are reading, that's awesome. That means I need to be a bit more clear or a bit less candid about the things I write.  Just to clear a few things up, that long post involving NYE stuff which contained a very unclear passage about people and all isn't about anything tragic or actually serious.  The post from earlier today is an update of sorts to the stuff contained in those paragraphs.  I'll leave the first part up for a little bit longer; then I think I will censor myself and take it down Iranian style.  That was a bunch of stuff that was a bit too private for such a public forum.  I'm still figuring out this whole blog world thing, so all I have to say is whoops.  The one great thing I did find out is that people are reading and checking this out, keep doing that; I still write and post a mix of private, cultural, and just plain stupid shit, I guess I just need to be more careful.  I have to do that in real life, I should have known I have to do that here.

stuff is down (1/4/10 and 1/7/10).  I feel like a pussy for doing it but it was a bit off of the direction of this thing and a bit too personal to people beyond me. I'm taking down the posts for them.  This (taking down posts) will never happen again.
