My theory is that the only people who hate hipsters are hipsters. Where I come from my friends and family don't even know what they are. The only people that talk about hipsters are hipsters.

I've been waiting for techno to die. I was in Germany once and this guy was telling me that techno was dead, and then he proceeded to play me techno for hours.

But on the whole, nothing requires unbearable energy for me, it's just a normal thing.

Good news. President Bush is creating thousands of new jobs. Unfortunately, all of them are at the White House.

Shame is the root of all addictions.

I played basketball and soccer my freshman year in high school.

The past is obdurate. It doesn't want to change.
