'refreshingly bloggable' was my favorite part.

Dude, your so right to do this, since Obama has fucked America, I say fuck America too, now you need to get 'fuck Obama' for the other arm, fuck Obama, fuck everyone who likes Obama, fuck America its gone

And here are my thoughts on your tattoo. It feels "incomplete" to me, "unfinished". It "needs" something.

Punctuation, maybe:
"fuck" america

More words:
i fuck american apparel models

A "message":
buy american
fuck american
live american
die american

"Sincerity":
dear republicans,
please don't fuck america any more. i love it so much.
yours truly, tao lin

Or something "random" and "poetic":
clusterfuck america jamboogie

I don't know. Something. It needs "something".

re: "....feels to some degree like i'm in 'the crying of lot 49' right now..."

"google" "san jose semaphore" for info/details, or "youtube" it, to see a video (you haven't already?!?!?!?)

it's 'the crying of lot 49' continually "broadcast" in semaphore code, with cool, attendant, kind of unintelligible sounds, from the top of the Adobe building in downtown San Jose

it makes me very happy (VERY happy) to know that 'tcol49' is being sent out into the world, in code, IN TIME, slowly, not all weird and complicated, just "in code", but that doesn't matter because I don't "read" it (the semaphore), I just know it's there, near me. So in a way one can feel "in" it. In it's presence, in time.

It's like if I knew that someone somewhere stood on a street corner and read 'tcol49' continuously, outloud, only it's a little better, actually, because it is in code (so I don't know exactly where in the book it is at any one moment, which "generalizes" it) and it's on top of a really tall building and visible from a distance, from the freeway, etc, and I can visit it if I want to.

Anyway, check it out.

Also, I think Pynchon lives (hides, sneaks around) down in Aptos or something (or did?) Not sure. Gosh, I better google him!

wow, the skin on your arm looks so smooth--not a single blemish on it. Even the veins look clean and straight. I think it is kind of a shame that you chose to soil it, especially with a profanity.

I have quite a bit of hair on my arms, so I think it's less of a big deal to get a tat on them. I dunno. I think if I had such a pristine forearm, I would leave it the way it was.

Let me know!

great post. really "captured" the helplessness of the "american dream" in a "post-modern" world, much like those feelings displayed in the American classic "Death of a Salesman."
do you know how addictive it is to do that? surely you must. you're good man, you're good.

and making jokes about eating disorders is still funny when you're 17 and jerk off to your dad's sports illustrated swimsuit edition when you think everyone else is asleep, but then are too lazy to find a tissue so you just cum on your bed and forget about it. got more "boners" than a quirky "blurb" in adbusters from "cuties."
