They're sellin you shit in multispheres now, and they are...

They're sellin you shit in multispheres now, and they are people

They have hands and sit around there and click and say the things

It's cold in Atlanta again tonight from some weird shit of wind

We didn't get hit by shit, we were supposed to get hit again like hits come

There are ten books on my desk I want to read virally, I bought the biggest bottle of gin I've ever had to myself

I keep just saying "books" out loud in little rooms where I'm around with me

They're selling you things, and when they're not you have to assume they are because they probably are whether they mean to be or not because things get sold and you live with it and food keeps happening and music these days is free is you want, the rest is to come

My neighbor hates me because she asked if her dog makes noise and it does and I said it did and she went home and bought a machine that squirts the dog in the face when it tries to do noise and it stopped making noise and now she doesn't either

I think about her hearing my own junk when I watch porn on my laptop out loud

It comes and goes

There isn't a lot of bass to be heard through macbook speakers, they are tinny and small

Music is free, I keep thinking about thinking about when the phrase "remember when people made music?" will be a thing that is said

What is happening to the internet

Things change faster than there is to see the changing

I have a a new rug and an old coffee table that I hadn't had here for a while and the house feels new, the cup is sweating on the black surface, I have no idea where the cup came from

The laptop heats up so hot when it's plugged in it's like you can't even hold it

Books are everywhere, kids are going to learn not to hold them and they will hold the computer, we will be old or dead by then, what's the difference

I think you got younger last week

I had a feeling when I started typing and now I just want to eat

Darbi Simmons I'm a fan of the random rant. I get in those moods often : )

Traveller I guess one day someone is going to publish random riffing off Twitter as a book.

I hate it when the dogs bark but I love the misty rain wet on your face (on my face) and the cozy feel of the closed-in clouds.

I wish Kindles were a bit cheaper becuz I'm spoilt by reading on screen but on the other hand, I love the smell of a new book and the feel of the cover and of the pages and the sound it makes when you turn them.

Once you start riffing like this it just flows and flows, and you can carry carry on forever, -only sometime you have to stop yourself or you'd be typing forever... and would anybody even read it?

...and if they do - why?
