“I’m really scared for my generation, you know. The thing that scares me most is Tumblr. I hate what Tumblr has become. Because it like, it reminds me of those clique-y girls in high school that used to make fun of everyone else and define what was cool, but in five years, when you all graduate, that shit doesn’t matter. No one gives a fuck about that shit. Instead of kids going out and making their own moments, they’re just taking these images and living vicariously through other people’s moments. It just kills me. Then you’ll meet them and they’re just the biggest turkey in the world. They don’t actually embody any of those things. They just emulate. It’s scary man, simulation life that we’re living. It scares me.”

I mean, Tumblr isn’t a bad thing. Just make sure you’re living your life, instead of tumbling it away.
Not that you have noticed, but I haven’t been on tumblr in a super long time. What was something I would check every morning waking up and evening before going to bed is now something I hardly think about. Overall I recently found tumblr kinda silly, for what I used it for anyway. I feel pictures of pretty girls and whatnot are okay and everything, but there’s more to life (duh). I thought going on here would provide me constant inspiration by keeping up with cool random pictures and internet famous people, but I think it turned out to be holding me back (duh). Things sound so obvious and silly when laid out in text. If there’s anything in the world I think I will forever be moved by, it’s music. I used to be on a constant search for fantastic new or old sounds but that overall has dropped in the last couple years. In efforts to re-spark my spark for progression and things of actual substance, I’m gonna try to use this tumblr as a memo of things that I’m grooving/vibing/thrashing/getting vulnerable to. Hopefully you’ll find some new things you like (or old things you love).
Whatevs.

So since finding the world of tumblr, this last week was really the longest I went without caring at all what went on in the little tumblr world. I quickly realized that SXSW is essentially the real life version of all the things I mostly see on tumblr which are:
- cute indie girls
- cute indie girls
- cute indie girls
- cool bands
- ofwgkta
Things in real life are so much nicer.
