Cheesy unsolicited advice regarding insecurity
There are many tactics people use to cover up their insecurity. People fight it with alcohol, they fight it with the clothes they wear, with makeup, with trying to be arrogant, with pretending not to care — I could go on and on. But the tactic that infuriates me the most is a combination of things. It also makes me really sad, at least when I see people I care about using it.

Rock 'n' Roll 'n' Drugs 'n' Sex
I don’t care about it. I don’t want it. Not for me. I’ll take the rock ‘n’ roll, hold the drugs and sex. Not only do I disagree with the notion of the tortured artist being somehow better than the mentally stable artist, but I also don’t think that music, drug-use, and sleeping with lots of people go hand-in-hand. Those things may go hand-in-hand for some, but...

I actually hate Mardi Gras
Yeah, seriously. Mardi never mows it and so it’s full of a bunch of weeds and snakes and weird insects and poison ivy. I don’t know why so many people are obsessed with his fucking lawn.

I am often haunted by an odd loneliness.
It’s not the acute pang of sadness you feel when you’re dumped, it’s not the overwhelming sense of impending madness you feel after being isolated for an extremely long period of time, and it’s certainly not the feeling you have when you peer out the window into the rain like they do in the movies.
This is a permanent state of melancholia. It’s a deep, slowly moving...

this is how we clean it (OR "cleaning is better...
So, when I have to clean lots of things (like, say, my apartment, which I just did) I have this very specific way I have to go about everything.
I do not consider myself obsessive compulsive normally, but that changes drastically when I clean. Everything has to be spotless. I spend 15 minutes cleaning the mirror in the bathroom. I spend 10 minutes a piece cleaning each specific part of the...
I would encourage you all to stop listening to inspiring quotes and to stop obsessing over interesting photographs that you didn’t take. I would also encourage you to live some of your life yourself and form your opinions and feelings on those experiences, rather than the experiences of people you do not know who you admire. Also, for you poets and musicians, I’d encourage you to not...

I was standing outside of a coffeehouse today
and I heard two people talking, and one of them said to the other, “Yeah man, life’s too short to smoke bad weed” and then took a long drag of his cigarette. And then I said “Life’s too short to ride most theme park rides.”
The only differences between men and women are the...
For instance, men usually have Basset Hounds on their laps, and women are more partial to Pomeranians.
I wanna be a rock superstar.
To live large. A big house, five cars. To be in charge.
But mainly I just wanted heated tiles in the bathroom.
So, I decided to cover “Electrocution”...

I wanna be a billionaire so fuckin' bad. Buy all...
Listen, Travie McCoy, you need to calm the fuck down. I want a new car and an endless supply of cigarettes, and THAT’s more realistic than becoming a billionaire, but just as unlikely to happen. So shut the fuck up and get over it.
You can’t always get what you want. But if you try sometimes, you just might find you get what you need.

Everyone's freaking out about everything that's...
but am I the only one with the foresight to realize that all of this shit will happen again? All of this shit has happened before. This isn’t anything unusual. You can either obsess over the imperfect state of the world or go on living your life and trying to make it the best that you can. You’ll find me in the latter camp.
And don’t you dare fucking accuse me of not caring. I...

thunder cackles in the background beating an angry drum under the moon’s rage-blind grin I barrel down an eastward highway through the badlands death strikes from strobe-light static in the sky cars park under the hoax of a safe overpass the tops of cell phone towers beacon haphazard hope through god’s bloodthirsty mist lightning swoops down for a kiss I flick a fire and breathe smoke...
Instagram
The only thing I use it for is making pictures of stupid shit look worse than they already do.
It's 6 AM
Keep the bed warm for me, darling you know I stray outside and smoke my lungs black and once, in the alley out back I paced for miles and leagues and lit by the gentle yellow beams of all the simmering lamp bulbs begging for lambency but barely letting out an electric whimper I was swallowed in the belly of the city dark and lonely
I crawl around at midnight past the tienda de licor and the...
I'm sitting on the porch
and the neighbors below are doing laundry and I can smell the fumes from the dryer coming up to the balcony. It smells fucking amazing. I love the smell of clean laundry.
Colin, why don't you smoke weed?
I’ll tell you. The thing is, I used to smoke weed, and I used to enjoy it. You know, in the 8th grade. I used to smoke it out of tinfoil bowls and I’d get a bunch of ash in my mouth, but it made me giggly and goofy. Weed back then was weak and had dirt in it and you didn’t know where it came from and it just made you laugh a lot at really stupid shit.
Now weed is very, very...

What the fuck is this, myspace in 2005?
I’m just sitting here, listening to Bruce Springsteen in the dark, and I click on somebody’s blog and my ears are not only bombarded by a bunch of indie dancewave whatever-the-fuck bullshit, but the sound of that mixes together with Bruce Springsteen and creates something so horrible I feel like putting a gun in my mouth.
And jesus christ, cut...
Music, Life, Communication
Songs, for me, are often a work in progress. And unfortunately they almost never get completely finished. Songwriting, too, is a work in progress. And songwriting is my life. It isn’t a choice. It isn’t a career decision. It isn’t a hobby. It’s the only thing I know how to do. I take that back—it’s the only thing I feel required to do. I could be many things,...

I am a modern poet
full of longing and regret
lusting for the future I’ve never met
feeling bent and lost
I have earned my degree
in the city
of commonplace necessity
This burning never ceases
to imbibe me
I am a modern poet
celebrating what I’ve lost
my deaf blind machinery
Yearning for the shell
of what I used to believe.

So, I got a new tattoo yesterday
and it smells funny. Not like infection. I think I’m actually smelling the ink. Has anyone ever gotten a tattoo and actually smelled it? It’s crazy. I’ll post pictures once it’s healed and done scabbing.
Well, got mugged tonight.
I'm listening to Katy Perry.
