I stepped on a nail last night and I pulled it out by myself and it hurt a lot and I told Kelly about it on gchat but she never responded and it still hurts now, even worse, because Kelly ignored my ghcat about stepping on a nail last night.
Today the hot water heater in my dorm stopped working and I have now not showered for almost 36 hours. I feel gross. My boss doesn't know this happened, though, because I work on the Internet for this website.
My only class of the day was very boring, though the professor left a slide with all the answers up during our quiz today. This is the third time he has done that this quarter. It was cool the first time but now it's like what am I even paying you for, maaaaaan? Actually I can answer that. I am paying him for an easy A and also for fulfilling one of my distros.

Maybe it's just me and I haven't noticed it or latched onto it, but outside of the random disclaimer at the start of "Radicals" (which is really, really funny) and the references to critics calling his music horrorcore, what are the big moments that take away from what he's saying? Transylvania and Tron Cat are both full of horrible, awful imagery and rhymes without any words of remorse.
I've seen a lot of comments like this, but I don't really get them? Tyler's music has never been about shock value just for the sake of shock value; it's always been about being yourself and letting out what you think up or whatever the fuck, which can result in something that is altogether shocking. This is what separates him from something like the ICP (along with a bunch of talent), and it makes sense that on Odd Future's biggest album yet he'd have to address this, albeit in a winking fashion (FUCK BILL O'REILLY).
It sounds great, every song has a number of memorable/quotable (around the right company, at least) lines, and you get both sides of Tyler (the fictional, misogynistic rapist and the depression-riddled kid who misses his friend and never had a real father) while also getting a new side (a romantic Tyler, a side that I think fits in perfectly with his persona ... cunt). There's really not much more needed from this. It's really, really good, and I've had a hard time listening to anything else. Even though he lacks the pure rapping ability of someone like Earl or possibly even Hodgy, there's something that's extremely compelling about what Tyler's done here, and really with what he's always done. Once you've submitted yourself to the gang of wolves, it's hard to turn away. So, yeah, one of the best albums I've heard in a while, and I've already racked up some 100 listens to it.
Also, any word on when we'll get a Jasper and Taco album?

I mean, on the one hand I get it, Gabe. But on the other hand, I really love Kanye West. Sure he's prone to being super fucking crazy, but isn't that the point? Kanye West: One of the Best, I'm sure of it.
