you once replied to a comment i made on kelly ginger's blog. i wanted to say thanks for telling me to have a nice day. i hope you have a nice day too. i like your post about the interns. i don't want to be one though; i don't want another blog to take care of.

timothy said...: Master do you notice how everyone on the comments section picks up your style? How do you like that?; 12:19 PM
Roo said...: Maybe we've all always conversed this way?; 1:09 PM
Tao Lin said...: timothy, people who like the same things probably will not be drastically different in how they talk, therefore it would make sense that people who comment here do not sound drastically different than each other and the books they like to read

therefore i don't feel anything about this, it is like asking me, 'that person stopped walking to pick up his suitcase when he dropped his suitcase, did you notice that? do you like that?'

also another reason i don't think anything about this is because i don't think the comments in this comments section are like each other

another reason is because everyone copies everyone else and i don't think there is anything 'bad' about that at all, maybe you are thinking in terms of businesses where money is made in concrete reality or something else like that, where things get patented and trademarked for reasons a person can talk about, business reasons, something that i have no comment on right now; 1:24 PM
Tao Lin said...: some of my favorite books are books that i read and can think of another book in the past that the book 'copied' at least a little, which doesn't affect how much i like it, that i can think of another book that is 'like' it that came 'before' it, unless i like it even more for not 'trying to be original no matter what' but something more like 'writing what they wanted to read'; 1:26 PM
Tao Lin said...: i hope i defeated you timothy, have a nice day; 1:26 PM
Ryan said...: the other day my friend told me a joke, and his joke defeated me in our gmail chat.; 10:06 AM
