They Say I'm Bonkers.


I haven't updated in a fucking long time. I gave up meat, it's been a couple of weeks so far. Not as hard as I thought it would be, as I already hate chicken. I'm shrinking, I'm under 5 feet so it's concerning. My lips are so severely chapped I have to go see the doc. I've been reading Allen Ginsberg and eating cough drops all day. I've actually been busy for once in my life, I got completely new furniture in my bedroom, it's from the 50's. My mother has this really cool friend that gets items from houses, they sell the entire contents to her and she kind of has this vintage furniture business. I got this really cool handwoven Native American rug from the 60's courtesy of her as well. My room was really grungy before, it looks very err... clean now. It's very bohemian looking now, it gives the illusion I'm very well traveled, thank god for Pier 1. I'm probably working at Dunkin' Donuts, not that exciting but I desperately need a job. I should stop cursing so much, I'm like a trucker. I still haven't gotten a haircut, I decided to go the Cory Kennedy route and just not brush it. And let it do whatever it wants to do. I'm currently loving the Phil Spector playlist Faris Badwan has put together for Vice. It's fucking good. The mix that they made for Vice is really good too.

I'm suprised they know any Bollywood music, the second
to last song on it is a very famous song from an Amitabh Bachan film. I grew up with that song, if my dad listened to that I think he would become an instant fan. The yoga song is hilarious, I don't know if you'd get it without knowing Hindi, but it's pretty funny. It took me some time to figure out what it was about. My mom actually had to tell me. Even though DOWN and UP were good, this one was beast. I've rediscovered my loved for Bollywood music, my favorite has always been from the 60's. My father actually used to dress like a mod, in winklepickers and drainpipes. My grandfather did as well, complete with wayfarer glasses. He told me there's a store in Calcutta that custom makes winklepickers for you in an hour, but the only bad thing about that is my dad has to come to India with us next year, since he's the only one who knows where it is. I've been reading several interesting books lately.

Not much more going on in my life. We might go on vacation somewhere, my friend is touring Europe so I told her to pick up the NME from London for me. I saw it over there last time I went but I had no cash on me to buy it. I'm going to take my leave now, I made a Tumblr but it's rather confusing. Ta-ta.
