Everybody’s Talkin’ ‘Bout The Kids
Why I Want Attention
An Essay By Alexis Long
The reason that I want attention is.
I mean, fuck, I dunno. The thing that really gets me is that here are people wanting to do something with me and then I turn them down because it’s not the right kind of attention. How fucking stupid can I be, you know? Geh.
I hate myself when I get like this. I have wonderful friends. I don’t need to be like this. I am such an idiot. Such. An. Idiot.
Anyway, that’s totally lame, so let’s talking about things that aren’t totally lame.
I have found a new favorite Jamiroquai song, and that song is The Kids. I’ve listened to it approximately 40 million times these past two days. Man, seriously, is there anything NOT awesome about Jamiroquai? Cause I love thems so much.
Also, my iPod touch makes me actually pay attention to album art. Why does all the Jamiroquai albums have the guy from Ico on them?
So earlier the Calories Man walk all having trouble thinking of what to write for Gamespite and talking to me. And I had a good idea for a blog post that didn’t apply to him: Podcast-friendly games. I find I don’t really have any of those right now. Well, besides my browser RPGs. I can’t listen to podcasts while playing Fable because I find the dialog too entertaining to miss. I keep wanting to play some version of HoMM to scratch this itch, but don’t want to try to find my discs nor spend money, so I don’t. Anyway, is it sad that, at any particular moment, I would like to have a portable game, a podcast-friendly game, and a game game? Maybe that’s greedy. I dunno. I mean, they can overlap, if they wanted.
Anyway, I’m going to end this thing. I hope you didn’t read the beginning. Or any of it, I suppose, there’s not a lot of value in it.
