Irresponsibility
And then we have this article from the New York Times by way of Andrew Sullivan about people who, unlike the people mentioned in my previous posting, really are irresponsible, self-important, parasitic jackasses. I'm finding the whole discussion on "authenticity" and "irony" to be increasingly an exercise in navel-gazing.
Just remember, people 'round here drink PBR because they LIKE it.
Me, I'm a Natty Ice man all the way.

Posted by: ryan at September 29, 2003 12:42 PMOf course not. What we like is always wrapped up in how we want to be seen. This holds true for hipsters and my parents. It is, however, possible to drink so much PBR that you no longer care.
Posted by: mesh at September 29, 2003 02:20 PMOh my yes. It certainly aint this black and white line. Very rarely does the man come along who, like me in particular, has both incredible taste and incredible image, all without pretense.

Posted by: mesh at September 29, 2003 02:36 PMYeah, all of a sudden I don't feel so bad...
Posted by: ryan at September 29, 2003 02:59 PMJust remember who sacrificed himself on the altar of cool...
Posted by: JosiahQ at September 30, 2003 12:43 PMJust because your Natty Ice is cold doesn't mean that it's cool. There's a difference.
