Sup, Bro…

29 08 2009

So, earlier this week I hyped something about a video with Ned Hepburn.
But we’re going to re-do it.
For a couple reasons.
One:

BOLD STATED LIES !!!

BOLD STATED LIES !!!

Two:
Ned has been recently chosen to go on an adventure in Columbia for National Geographic along with four other bloggers for ten days. This is insane and awesome and something I would rather talk to him about than Garage Pizza.

So, sometime next week, I shall be talking to Ned again and touching on his upcoming journey, dealing with haters and other things that pertain to life, love & the blogosphere.

Until next post, I shall be finishing the second season of Mad Men (daydreaming of being Betty Draper/January Jones/Joan Holloway/Hildy).

Cordially,
Mariss





Who Needs Soaps With Social Networks ?

26 08 2009

Once upon a time, a girl my age at this hour would be sitting at home watching All My Children or perhaps Passions but at any rate, little lasses would be jonsin’ for some drama to make their feeble future housewife problems look like a cake walk in comparison to the cat fights, hauntings of ex husbands that died in car crashes eight seasons ago, children stuck in wells and botched cocaine deals in well lit marinas.

Sadly, although at this hour I could very well be watching a soap,
I do not have a TV here.
I only have the internet.
Now you may be saying:
HULU, YOU DUMBASS.
BUT !
Why would I take an hour out of my day to watch some concocted crisis when I can just turn to one of my many social networking sites and watch the RL theatrics unfold on my live feed:

R U FING JKING ME WTF BITCH

R U FING JKING ME WTF BITCH

OH SHIT !!!
GET IT GIRL !!!
mmmmmHMMMM !!!
YOU TELL HER !!!
via Facebook status.
Because that means business- Facebook status updates.
Those are reserved for serious times.
Like telling people what you’re eating.

It’s even better than reading my YouTube comments !!!
Because there’s nothing like a good internet battle.
You know, where you can type mean things and make judgments on people without having any valid reason to or deal with any consequences and you can sit and stew at your office job and wait for that bitch to reply with something expectedly unintelligent like
“SHUT UP ! YOU’RE A BETCH ! BIETCH !”
and then you can be like,
“WTF ARE YOU SERIOUSLY THAT STUPID ?1 YOU’RE STUPID. YOU ARE INCOMPETENT AND NO ONE LIKES YOU. HOW DOES IT FEEL THAT NO ONE LIKES YOU… bitch.”
and feel reeeeeally good about yourself because you are like, fighting.
Online.
Just as all civilized, secure and mature adults do.

Rage09, bro.
GET INTO IT.





A Tangent About Friend Boners.

25 08 2009

It’s absolutely adorable watching you squirm to secretly smush your sensation back into your Levi’s because we’re just hanging out at a bar and we’re probably just “really good” friends. Ah, yes, friend boners. These prove that no matter how often you claim we’re so bff’d out because I can chug whiskey and shoot the shit about Strawberry Alarm Clock, the truth is you’d still nail me. Ah, the validation. Yes, you may tell people I have a detachable penis, but I see what’s going on here. And I understand, you can’t let me know you’d actually nail me. I mean, I’m “lil bro” and “one of the dudes” and the thought of making out with me “is disgusting”. Well, you better start jerking off before getting hammered with me and get all hot and bothered again over my passionate tangents about the importance of getting the actual audio book You’re Fucking Out, I’m Fucking In. Because that’s what you like about me. You like that I own some Olivia Tremor Control and you like you can talk to me about girls and you like that I will get high and watch Skinamax movies with you. This is why we’re friends and this is why you’re resting your Negro Modelo on your crotch.

I don't think any of my friends wear sweatpants but you know who you are.

I don't think any of my friends wear sweatpants but you know who you are.

But for all you friend boners out there, don’t worry, I ain’t mad at ya. I know you won’t act on it- you have an ego and I have a dudefriend, so it’s cool. Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone you secretly dream about the day we bone while Myth Busters is in the background.





An Open Letter To Joe Mande.

24 08 2009

Dear Mr. Mande,
I would like to personally and publicly thank you for featuring my promotional video on your widely successful Tumblr “Look At This Fucking Hipster”.

FTW !!!

FTW !!!

Boy, it feels almost as good as being featured on Boner Party !

I just want to tell you it feels really good to know I’ve been classified officially as a hipster by someone who is definitely not a hipster, collecting hipster photos for a blog (totally NOT HIP, BTW).

Anyway, with my traffic skyrocketing & the overwhelming support I have received from the droves of incredibly intelligent internet perusers with terribly keen senses of humor that follow your Tumblr, I cannot extend my gratitude enough.

So once again, thank you.
I hope you had a really nice weekend.

Cordially with Love,
Mariss

PS. Let me know if you ever are in LA, maybe we can grab a drink and talk about blogging and Animal Collective (if you’ve heard of them) and what it’s like to be the Carlos Mencia of Hipsters, doggin’ on your own kind while your Tumblarity shoots through the roof.





No Soliciting, PLZ.

21 08 2009

Late last night, I got a text from a number I didn’t have saved in my phone with a message stating there was suddenly an acid hook up and to get at him asap.
Let’s ignore the fact about an unknown number trying to sell me drugs on the late night and get to brass tacks…

Acid ?
Really ?
I don’t have time to do acid…
Sure, it would be great if I had enough spare time to escape into coloring euphonies for fifteen hours but I don’t.
And that’s what would happen.
I would obsess over fine tipped Sharpies for fifteen hours, write really sentimental notes to all my friends that will leave them totally wtf’d out, hypothesize about the meaning of my local car wash getting painted mint-teal and demand strawberry/vanilla In & Out milkshakes.

Not saying I've done acid, just saying I know what it's like to be really into fine tipped Sharpies.

Not saying I've done acid, just saying I know what it's like to be really into fine tipped Sharpies.

Not that any of that has ever happened…

But I imagine I would wake up after horrid self-actualizing dreams and feel completely out of touch, questioning the world, my relevance, 60 Watt Kid and the Tao for at least another day; putting me out for approximately forty hours all together.

That’s not smoking a bowl.
That’s a commitment.
A commitment I can’t make,
dude-I-don’t-think-I-know-trying-to-push-me-drugs-via-text.
I have way too many other “real life” commitments.
Like my job(s), the other lives I am responsible for (Zissou), writing (which is different than blogging, kthnx), blogging, eating Dudefriend’s food/smoking his weed, going to Trader Joe’s/Target, listening to Wayne Dyer, blowing tons of executive cock for upward mobility and catching up with Mad Men.

And I mean, that’s not even when my plate is full.
So, no, bro-that’s-probably-not-saved-in-my-phone-on-purpose, I am not interested in buying any lysergic acid at this juncture in time, thank you.
Although, I understand we’re in a recession.
So, I’ve compiled a list of possible markets for you.

People Who Like The Desert.

DESERT FOLK.

Everyone loves doing acid in the desert. It’s a scientific fact. So, I am thinking you could make a killing in a desert market, ya know? Get the hell out of LA where people have schedules to keep and hit up the likes of those Desert Denizens of Tatooine, maybe some senior citizens in Palm Springs. The possibilities are endless.


Introspective Young Philosizing Bloggers That Listen To Animal Collective.

MEANINGFUL SHIT

I know their type. Easy sell. They’re young. They’re naive. They have plenty of time between Astronomy 100 and bong tokes. They want to be Carles’ next meme. Just get ‘em talking…

“I know, it’s crazy right ?! It tooootally sounds like Animal Collective has been doing acid for, like, EVER. Their sound is so complex with all its layers… just like life.
Life.
Layers.
Layer Life Cake.
Want it on my birthday.
Every day is my birthday.
I am born again
every
day.
I WANT TO DO ACID.
& it’s going to be so ‘meaningful’.
You know, like,
with the quotes.”

& Bam. Drug Deal.

Babies.

BABIES.

Explains itself.





Official Summer Jam Two Thousand & Nine.

18 08 2009

It’s mid August.
It’s about time I declared my Jam de la Jam ’09.
As you might recall, the previous year winners…
’06: Jens Lekman’s “Sweet Summer’s Night On Hammer Hill”.
’07: The Roots’ “The Seed 2.0″.
’08: Ariel Pink’s “Life In LA”.

Now, Two Thousand & Nine has not been an easy decision.

There was Wavves’ “Mickey Mouse” that I was pretty obsessed with as well as Toro y Moi’s “109″. Best Coast also put out two amazing mp3s into the blogosphere and consequently, into my heart. But there was one song, one song in particular that to this particular year meant particularly more and combined my love of lo-fi indie pop with the spirit of the California summers I have lived my whole life for and the hope of a nation…
& with that, I give you
The Summer Jam de la Jam, Two Thousand & Nine.

OBAAAMMMAAA I WANNA GO SURFINGGG!

OBAAAMMMAAA I WANNA GO SURFINGGG!

This song just makes me want to have a dance party on the beach, like the good ol’ days.

Unfortunately, there is too much sex on TV and too many cell phones for this to be possible.

At any rate, download The Drums’ “Let’s Go Surfing”.

For more on the Drums, click here, kthnx. <3





I Smell A Reality Show !

12 08 2009

This morning I saw this billboard:

Starring Nineties Heart Throbs & Hip Hop Artisans.

Starring Nineties Heart Throbs & Hip Hop Artisans.

Yes, That is NCIS: Los Angeles
starring Chris O’Donnell (Mad Love) and LL Cool J (musician and shark aficionado).

I’m curious as to whether Chris and Cool J are playing themselves.
I feel like that’d be “real” Los Angeles.
Actor turned cop gets a new partner, a tough guy rapper turned actor turned cop.
The two totally butt heads.
O’Donnell is trying to assert his superiority by referencing his tactics used on the set of that really terrible Batman.

BATMAN TAUGHT ME THIS MOVE, BRO!

"BATMAN TAUGHT ME THIS MOVE, BRO!"

And LL gives him the really-real by aggressively rapping about the hard knock street life.

IM FROM THE BLOCK, SON!

"I'M FROM THE BLOCK, SON!"

And by the middle of season one, they have worked through most of their problems and have bonded on pressing issues like gun control and cold readings.

CRIME FIGHTING INTERRACIAL INNER CITY BBFZ !

CRIME FIGHTING INTERRACIAL INNER CITY BBFZ !

See, Chris is the optimistic one. He’s white. He wears Seven Jeans. He’s had it easy so he doesn’t have to be as tough as LL.

LL is the cynical hip hop cop (think Ice-T via Law & Order). He trusts no one cause he knows from personal experience, you just never know who’s got a gat in their jacket or a crack pipe in their vag.

Yeah, you’re laughing now.
You think I’m making that shit up ?
Check out Student-Doctor forums, dude.

NOM'D !!!

NOM'D !!!

Oh, wait…
My phone’s ringing.
Prime time is calling.





My Busted Self Esteem Sends Its Regards, Tumblarity.

11 08 2009

So, I started a Tumblr back in fall of 2007 and wrote in it
but didn’t really “get it” and kinda dropped it.
Just recently I decided to revitalize my Tumblr to put stuff that isn’t all LOLz in.

I like Tumblr because it makes it very easy to post pictures and music and all that jazz. Very user friendly via medias. I dig it.

This is why I don’t like Tumblr:

TUMBLRAWR !

TUMBLRAWR !

IT REMINDS ME ON THE REG’ HOW NOT POPULAR I AM.

This is disconcerting. I’m already having issues with passing the 110 fan mark on Facebook and dealing with the fact that I have lost seven followers on Twitter (whether they were really stripper bots, is unknown).

So, I’ve decided to put aside an hour every day to devote to my Tumblarity.

This time will be used to find collections of meaningful white washed photos featuring near naked hipsters in fields, relevant and inspiring Oscar Wilde quotes and the rarest mp3s that Gorilla Vs. Bear has only dreamed of listening to, you know, like of Daniel Rossen farting into a mic’d toliet bowl.

Since apparently this:

HOW CAN YOU NOT REBLOG THIS ?!

HOW CAN YOU NOT REBLOG THIS ?!

is not cutting it.

How is that possible, you ask ?
I don’t know.
IT’S A FUCKING PUG PUPPY BRO’IN DOWN WITH A BECKS.
COME THE FUCK ON PEOPLE !!!





The Making Of Shakira’s “She Wolf” (T&tT Cut).

10 08 2009

For entertainment purposes,
it’s probably best you watch Shakira’s “She Wolf” video before viewing.
Just lookin’ out.

There are not enough double-jointed-look-at-my-vag cage dance moves that could distract me from the fact that Shakira’s She Wolf is a HORRIBLE song. Just flat out bad.

And then she had to go and take off her shoes.

CHILL YA’ALL: Dudefriend & I Are FINE (mostly) !

7 08 2009

So, over the past week I’ve been getting a lot of worried Facebook messages, AIMz, texts, tweets, emails, faxes and phone calls on whether or not Dudefriend and I broke up (via this previous post).

I just wanted to take this time to say, we worked things out.
It took a little bit of Risotto and some sunshine but we’re all better.

Basically, once he found out I was super peeved about the whoring, he came and whisked me away from work.

Yeah, he was debonaire but I was still PISSED.

Yeah, he was debonaire but I was still PISSED.

He split the financial grandma gains with me, which was a nice gesture but definitely not enough to forgive him for the atrocious animalistic acts in bathrooms with senile broads.

Anyway, then he cooked me this absolutely lovely meal.

Look at him go! Such a professional.

Look at him go! Such a professional.

Ugh, he is SUCH a great cook. I know, I know, he boned a near-future convalescent home customer but his Risotto is just so astounding that I have to get past that.

And then my dad was like, “RAWR RAWR RAWR YOU’RE POSTING ABOUT HOW YOUR BOYFRIEND WHATEVER FUCKS OLD PEOPLE AND YOU’RE STAYING WITH HIM ?!!”

So, we took this picture after dinner and I sent it to my dad.

TAKE THAT MISTER DOUBTING MUSTAFA!

TAKE THAT MISTER DOUBTING MUSTAFA!

My dad was like WHATEVER.
And I was like BOOYUH !

But I didn’t want to let him off the hook that easily. I wanted him to know that he could not be sleeping with ANYONE let alone geezers while he’s dating me. Yeah, I mean, he’s my Dudefriend but if you want to be even my Dudefriend, you can’t go around ruining my image like that. So, after telling him that, he decided to take me to a sports event with one of his high profile partners. We had a really nice time.

Larry is definitely my favorite of Dudefriend's friends. He's so cute.

Larry is definitely my favorite of Dudefriend's friends. He's so cute.

Then Larry wanted to go home because he was tired.
Being that funny all the time is absolutely exhausting apparently.
But Dudefriend and I love raging.
We haven’t really ‘partied’ since the incident.
So, we met up in downtown with our dealer and some shady people who were having a loft party and we got crazy !!!

Ugh, I don't think I ever mentioned he ALSO PLAYS GUITAR. How am I supposed to NOT tap it ?!

Ugh, I don't think I ever mentioned he ALSO PLAYS GUITAR. How am I supposed to NOT tap it ?!

Then the next day, we woke up in some gutter next to Gordon (that’s his car, gosh people from the mid-west are so weird, like who names their cars ? Eh, a tangent for another time…).

And I was like, DUDEFRIEND YOU LET ME SLEEP IN A GUTTER ?!?!
And he was like, I’M SORRY ! LET ME MAKE IT UP TO YOU !!!
And I was like, PSH HOW ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE UP FOR THE FACT A FUCKING HOBO PEED ON MY NEW FOREVER 21 SLUB TUNIC ?!?!

So, being the best Dudefriend that he is that is constantly doing everything he can to make me happy, he took me to the beach !!!

GUSH. SWOON. GUSH !

GUSH. SWOON. GUSH !

Sigh.
We had such a nice day. We tossed a football around in the waves and then he tackled me and we rolled around in the sand until we had to rip each other’s clothes off then the lifeguard came and was totally wtf’d out by our epic display of unbridled passion and then I decided we officially made up when we were getting booked for indecent exposure.

But now it’s like kinda f’ed up again because I had to blow this superdouche sheriff so he’d drop the charges.

SUCH A PERVERT I H8 HIM.

SUCH A PERVERT I H8 HIM.

And now, Dudefriend is like YOU STILL HAVE FUR IN YOUR TEETH !
And I’m like, YOU COULD STILL BE IN JAIL !
And he agreed.
But won’t kiss me until I go with Zissou to the vet and get checked out, as well as sedated for a serious teeth cleaning.
Which I can’t afford right now (do you know how much vets are ?!?!!) so Dudefriend and I are kind of just being celibate and hanging out, trying to clarify that he is not a Gerontophile and I am not a Zoophile and that we both whored ourselves out for the good of our relationship.

I’m really happy to finally be in a healthy relationship where we can talk about things like this and work through them like mature adults. <3





I LOVE @RICHIEPANIC LIKE ZOMG.

So, if you follow me on Twitter, you may have seen this.
If you don’t follow me on Twitter,
well, either, one you don’t have a Twitter (& probably shouldn’t)
or two, you’re an asshole.
Either way if you don’t this is what you missed:

Tweet Tweet.

Tweet Tweet.

Now, if you are wondering what that is about then you should get into this:

GET INTO THIS.
STAT.

No seriously.
