Penultimate Post
The Awakening is so good, y’all. Even Men’s Rights activists like me my friend Dave love it. He called it “pretty fucking good NGL!” I lamented “[his] use of an abbreviation IRL” and trashed his favorite band — some local punk act, probably. Um, here are some groundbreaking blogs that need to have reports written about them …
adobe slabs - Very minimal and updated about once a month, adobe slabs is marginally good. Solid songs are posted; certain lyrics from the songs are written in chaotic and very pleasing fonts. Follow this blog even though it’s definitely “adobe slats” …
MS Paint album covers - Pretty confident that this is the best blog on Tumblr. Probably. So wonderful. Self-explanatory. [goes on to explain it anyway] Follow the hell out of this blog. Now!
ONLY THE YOUNG DIE YOUNG - Fun blog with great images and songs. The music posts are very cool. Patronize this short-form blog.
Booklover - Every quotation posted here is wonderful. There are beautiful pictures on Booklover, too. Check this blog out. Y’all.
OH, INTERNET! - Quite the site! I enjoy this because I enjoy the Internet, much like you will and do.
Sorry to cut this short, but I need to perform a few crucial tasks. I don’t repeat bros, so check out these other FFs. Be back a little later to tell y’all about a really big project that I’ve been thinking about. See you later! Happy Friday! Bleh-meh-eh!
You can’t change the feeling

“People” - Silver Jews
Farewell Week
A lot to do this weekend: including, and limited to, promoting my Twitter, refreshing my Formspring inbox, and playing a round of Chatroulette. Follow these people, y’all.
Greetings From NJ - My state gets a lot of shit. We’re the home of “orange-skinned douchebags, dozens of toxic waste facilities, faggots, and the Passaic River goddamnit.” That’s neither true nor was ever spoken, but Greetings From NJ shall make you set aside negative stereotypes and enjoy our state for the beautiful thing that it is. (Literally, Sufjan Stevens was going to do his next album on NJ — no he wasn’t — before he got all existential on us.)
Tumblr Awards - Trying to win multiple of these babies by promoting their official site. Although, according to “common knowledge/Wikipedia clones,” the Tumblr Awards died a long time — in microblogging years — ago. Still: what if they are revived.
the emporium - I discovered Jill’s blog about four seconds ago — bookspaperscissors recommended it. (Thank you, sidebar!) Um, the emporium is just a wonderful blog. It’s ultra-stylish. Enjoy!
A Writer’s Ruminations - I follow a lot of literature blogs. Writers’ blogs. Yeah, and A Writer’s Ruminations is very good. It helps me out. Great quotations. Solid original content. Thumbs up to this divine tumblelog.
gold panda - There are two things on gold panda: a peculiar 4-line dialogue between a musician and a shopkeeper, and a graphic with a computer on it. The picture reminds us that Gold Panda is thankfully working on his debut album. I remember that gorgeous July 31st morning when I woke up feeling like Pitchfork CEO Ryan Schreiber … and then I logged onto pitchfork.com and selected Best New Music … and my love affair with “Quitters Raga” had begun … ♥7/31/09♥
Curiouser and Curiouser - Got to give a shout-out to this tumblelog where rebloggable pics are found in abundance. I shall follow this blog into the dar — forever. Um, y’all will surely enjoy Rachel’s posts. All of them are “absurd” — true “epic wins.”
“I need to do some chores”; “My schedule is calling me”; “I have a life”; “Test tomorrow”; “I have better things to do.” Ideally, one of those excuses for this abrupt departure from an otherwise-fun wrap-up would work. Too bad those are just stock phrases I pulled from stockphrases.org … visit it? Quickly: if I didn’t mention you, don’t fret. I never repeat. All of the bros I’m following will get their time in the spotlight. Here’s my other two FFs. Take care, my beloved readers.
Pedantic Pros
It’s been a speedy week for me. From the HSPA, to Javelin’s “Oh! Centra,” March’s opening few days have played out smoothly — easily. When I slashed my nickrapper URL, I kind of killed the whole Nick Rapper brand. My blog is no longer connected with sophomore year or some third-rate fictional account. (Vote in the month-old poll, ladies.) Didactic Fizzle is a pretentious entry into interest-based connections. I’m stepping up. I’m Nick now, searching for a pen name and an ink cartridge. And although six people I know in the physical realm have tumblelogs, I have reason to feel alienated. Hye-Sung took a little break. Sarah hasn’t updated in, like, forever. Ant could care less about Tumblr. Wilbur’s posts usually don’t connect with me. Ryan’s creatively-titled blog is just … empty. Laura’s an exception — her blog is fun to read and consistently updated. If my calculations — roughly: Tumblr - individuality + unselfish selfishness — are correct, it is Follow Friday. I’m like Staff. I don’t repeat. Okay? Cool — let us proceed!
you came here looking for me, well here i am - One of the better only connections I made on Zingle’d, this new Tumblr user was promised to be included in my next “tangent-ish” Follow Friday list. So … like … follow Jenifer. She’s been on this site for two weeks. She likes Tool. Her blog is pretty.
Lets swim to the moon, lets climb through the tide - You should probably check this Tumblr out. The pictures posted are sweet.
Julia Allison • Nonsociety - I’ll never stop laughing at Miss Allison. Her whole entire life seems like a big laugh track. She exists in a non-tangible way. But she’s everywhere. At once. That introduction. That introduction.
It’s a terrible thing. - Tumblr bros like to toss the world quality around. Without regard to Tavie. Because, like, her blog is that word. So if you aren’t Tavie, you aren’t quality. Unless you’re Julia Allison.
Next thing we’re touching. - Although currently suffering from post-Featured fatigue and drawer’s block, Lauren is very funny. Check out this blog, mates.
I am a hopeless romantic, - I met this girl on Zingle’d. (Are there any males on that site?) We followed each other after she said my intro was a bit “cynical.” Um.
BRITTICISMS - One of the finest music tumblelogs in recent memory. Get your daily indie intake in this avant-garde funhouse.
iwanttobeahorse - Follow this blog for wonderful pictures and related paraphernalia. You will certainly not be disappointed, Sirs and Madams.
HIPSTER RUNOFF - Trying to get the word out.
Bebe Zeva - …
This weekend is packed, lovers and dissenters. So many social events to attend! Going to local Nickelback fan John “Six-Pack; Popular; Football Team” Henson’s party. And this one kid that I met on Facistbook invited me to Destroy America. It may or may not be exactly what you’re thinking it probably is. Oh, and if I can get around to it these five creative-type sluts want to do “things to/with [me] … so meet [them] at [some alt whorehouse] … on Sunday.”
Whoops. Wrong outro.
This weekend will be spent reading Into the Wild, writing a sophomore chick an overly-long birthday blog post, and exploring the events that comprised Boy’s Don’t Cry (the movie). Also, maybe I can get to page seven of Metacritic’s religion thread. Take care, kind souls. I love you!
