VICE WRITERS
Music Reviews
Rating: X(((((((
Ladies, imagine being a Vice writer. Just walking around everywhere with your entitlement and ennui and midlength penis all gently bouncing in step; wearing a male tank top or a waxed mustache or some shit. Imagine having an ironic, retro-sexist dudebro-voice and getting together with a couple of other white guys and some cocaine and making your not-at-all-different voices all sync up as tautly as your nihilistic senses of humor, then snuggling all up together (no homo!) in a big Bushwick loft of partially employed trust-fund kids while something noninformative is happening on the Internet. What a life. I guess there’s the whole “everyone in the world thinks I’m an asshole” thing to deal with, too, but let’s not split hairs here: Vice writers got it pretty fucking made.

Wait is this about DARK ENTRIES?

It’s almost the anniversary of his death. Who was he, really? I’ll let him tell you.
my name is andrew, and i am the world’s biggest walking contradiction.
some charts say i’m a leo, some charts say i’m a cancer. i’m 100% both. i don’t hold too much stock in astrology, really, but this makes sense. i’m 24 going on about 17. i was born in san jose, raised in redwood city, spent my adolescence in santa cruz and monterey, was educated in both san jose and seattle, and have been other places too, briefly, and usually for the wrong reasons. i speak with a norcal accent with traces of the pacific northwest and texas.
i am a chemistry nerd, but i flunked high school algebra. i don’t believe in god, but i’m still catholic in some ways. i’m half italian and half persian, and people usually can’t figure out what the fuck i am and that’s fine with me. i’m queer but almost always feel alienated from other queers. i find it hard to both accept compliments and ask for help. i hate my hometown but it will never wash off of me. i am painfully shy around people i don’t know but i talk a lot. i live in san francisco and i love it, but my heart and soul are always going to remain in the suburbs. i am highly intelligent but yet i make foolish decisions and am self-destructive in many ways. i struggle with depression, addiction, anxiety, and a borderline personality but if you met me off the street, you’d probably never know. i work my hardest at being a genuine person, and i am, but i deal with paranoia that it’s all a facade every day.
i am the fat guy who ends up dating guys who would never date a fat guy previous to me. i am the person you call when you need directions on how to get anywhere on public transport, when you need to fix your volvo, when you need to vent to a listening ear. i am the person who will love you unconditionally as long as i know that you feel the same way. i am the person who will very rarely be angry with you. i am the person who would seem to be strong to have gone through so much but is often too afraid to leave the house. i am the person that may annoy you at first but who will eventually win you over. i am the person who falls asleep every night wishing i had someone to cuddle with but is reluctant to let anyone touch me. i am the person who is so much different than the person you may have known in the past, who is so much better. i am the person who is too picky for his own good, but will take years to get over you and never say a word. i am the person who feigns egomania as a front for low self-esteem. i am the person who always daydreams of being somewhere else. i am the person who is far from perfect, but is unique, and isn’t that good enough ?
i may be the person you are supposed to hate and you end up loving me, or i may be the person you are supposed to love and you end up hating me.
at first i was terrified. then i was confused, jealous and intimidated. then i was apathetic, and time passed, and i was emboldened, and then bitter, and then i saw you again and was reminded of the myriad of emotions that i’ve felt. i love you so much.
my name is andrew, and i can safely say that there is nobody in the world quite like me. and that is what makes my life worth everything.

Viktor Vasnetsov (1848— 1926) - “The Princess Who Never Smiled” (n.d.)
Painting for The Princess Who Never Smiled or The Unsmiling Tsarevna, a Russian fairy tale collected by Alexander Afanasyev in Narodnye russkie skazki.
There was once a princess who never smiled or laughed. Her father promised that whoever made her smile could marry her, and many tried, but none succeeded.

Eclipses are energy amplifiers. They magnify psychic energy in order to bring about accelerated change. If you’re a sensitive soul or someone who has done a lot of spiritual work to open your intuitive channels, you’re probably more susceptible than the average person to the amplified energy of the collective unconscious that is bouncing around during times of intensified energy. Practices that ground out the excess energy (both the energy generated by your own psychic processes and the energy you’re picking up from the collective unconscious) will calm you and restore a sense of clarity.

“My beloved friend Sass started a Chip in for me to get out to the Bay Area this summer. Im am so grateful to have so many supportive friends in my life,and right now I am so far away from them. I am going through IT right now and I really need to be near my people. If you could repost, share and/ or contribut to this Chip in for me that would be awesome! xo Adee FROM Sarah Sass Biscarra-Dilley: To those who haven’t met her, Adee Roberson is a social conduit, visionary artist and all-around force to be reckoned with. To those who have, you understand the breadth of her work and warmth, humor and seemingly boundless creativity. She has been living and working in Gainesville, Florida for the past two years to pursue her license in massage therapy, be near family and develop what has become a staggeringly beautiful body of visual work. The relative isolation has supported so much of this but, Adee is at a CROSSROADS: in that particular moment where the internal work needs reflection off of loved ones and trusted friends. Her artwork is making it out west for TWO shows during the National Queer Arts Festival and we want her to come tumbling after! So this is where you come in. We are trying to raise money to cover the cost of a round trip flight from Florida and some incidentals so that she can get a much needed retreat in order to move forward into the next phase of her life’s gifts and challenges near the wily waves of the Pacific. Any donation helps!
Additionally, testimonials regarding experiences with her incredible art, music and stunning presence are also encouraged! x.sbd If you aren’t familiar with her work already, check out the websites below: http://blackpineappleadee.tumblr.com/
