7 Personal Tensions And Contradictions I Need To Work Out (OMG EW WTF OLD)

u should listen 2 something while u read if u aren't already, personally i'd recommend the max cooper remix of either 'for' or 'peter' - here links http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xm7S8CJFsxc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQP-AJMO2i8

1. On Complaining

Somehow I'm not comfortable with wealthy or well-off people saying "the struggle is real" about silly shit but I'm pretty okay with calling something like thinking I forgot my headphones on the bus for about five seconds until I found them "devastating"

2. On Shaking Shit Up

Desperately trying to find or make something communist about organizing around internships, any advice?

3. On Crap

This one's not as personal, but I am Pretty Dissatisfied with the fact that "The Left" is a name applied more often (in my social context) to commentators and journalists than people who actually do some fucking organizing (and yes, some of them are journalists, I know, shut up), which results in shit like labor magazines which are currently engaged in wage theft. Really wanna bring those two aspects together in my own life as well as at large. (Maybe this gap is a special feature of the US context? I dunno.)

4. On Drugs

Cigarettes are usually unappealing to me but now when I'm drunk I'm always tryna smoke

5. On Being A "Me, Me, Me" Millennial

I am morally fine with laziness but I would personally like to work a little harder on the things and people I'm interested in (this isn't as much a "contradiction" as it is a "self-improvement thing")

6. On Typing

The internet is totally fucking up my relationship to capitalization, punctuation, other mechanics of writing and I don't know how to proceed other than slowly+reluctantly absorb the conventions I interact with most often, which is p much how i've always operated

7. How Fucked Up Is It That BuzzFeed Lists Are My Primary Mode Of Creative Expression (By Choice)

I mean what else is there to say
