The Conscious Consumer

Ask me anything      What's the Word?   

The musings of a schizo twenty something year old who thinks himself a writer/poet/comedian/social commentator. Mixing Vanity with Philosophy, The High Brow with the Kitsch, and the Vintage with the Vogue.

"You tried to change didn’t you? Closed your mouth more, tried to be softer, prettier, less volatile, less awake, but even when sleeping you could feel him travelling away from you in his dreams. So what did you want to do, love, split his head open? You can’t make homes out of human beings. Someone should have already told you that and if he wants to leave then let him leave. You are terrifying and strange and beautiful— something not everyone knows how to love."
Warsan Shire, “For Women Who Are Difficult to Love”  (via usagai)

do you ever get weirded out by the fact that everyone around you is constantly within their own mind and thinking a million secret thoughts and battling internal struggles just like you and that you’re not the only one who thinks these things and that the people around you aren’t just faces meant to fill up your life but they’re actually really deep people who have a lot more to them than you ever actually even think about

"I live in Alpine, New Jersey, right. My house cost millions of dollars. In my neighborhood, there are four black people - hundreds of houses, four black people. Who are these black people? Well, there’s me, Mary J. Blige, Jay-Z and Eddie Murphy, only black people in the whole neighborhood. So let’s break it down, let’s break it down. Me, I’m a decent comedian, I’m all right. Mary J. Blige, Mary J. Blige one of the greatest R&B singers to ever walk the earth. Jay-Z one of the greatest rappers to ever live. Eddie Murphy one of the funniest actors to ever, ever do it. Do you know what the white man that lives next door to me does for a living? He’s a fucking dentist. He ain’t the best dentist in the world. He ain’t going to the Dental Hall of Fame. He don’t get plaques for getting rid of plaque. He’s just a yank-your-tooth-out dentist. See, the black man got to fly to get something the white man could walk to."

How to work like a writer        1. Ignore deadlines. 
        2. Take criticism badly.  
        3. Burn bridges.  
        4. Hate yourself.  
        5. Trust no one (especially not yourself).  
        6. Sabotage all of your personal relationships.  
        7. Drink heavily.  
You might not get a lot of respect as a writer, but the crippling self-doubt and soul-crushing poverty make it all worth it.

a-dub around the world: Problems with being gay #552 →

adubonearth:

  • You never know when someone is flirting or just being nice.
  • You never know if the other party is also homo-capable.

Whilst purchasing the autobiography of Mindy Kaling the cashier is nice/flirting, you can’t distinguish which because you are completely unattractive, but the thought of flirting…
