review 1: There are some parts of this text that are amusing, but that's all. Just a little amusing, maybe the same level of amusement I might feel when reading a silly headline while scrolling through google news. What would be interesting, or impressive, or even inspiring, is if he'd take a risk and actually work on some of the ideas he has here, developing them, editing out the bad, making something more.
review 2: This was an uppercut of a piece of writing; to begin, I laughed a lot, but then I think IARTDAVD already knows that - to quote Julién 'haha'. A lot of rection to this will concern its obvious crumpling and rebirthing of the concept of twitter, the endless banality of condensed thoughts somehow, when extracted from feed and replaced in poetic context, becom... moreing something of considerable depth and beauty. The first guttoral noises of those of us (all of us) who are now trapped between two distinct worlds for the first time in human history since the frenzied birth of religions. Isn't it more wonderful to look at a glassy tumblr filled with soaring images of mountaintops than to have to rely on your own muddled perception of such things? And internal thoughts are pried open here in such a way: 'imagine if on warm summer nights in the suburbs, the neighborhood dads all hung outon the corners and rough housed and didnt want to go home'. I don't know whether that image ought to make me think simply 'ha' or if I should be lost in a pathos-filled dream of community, of fatherhood and son/daughterhood, something that a lot of people born in the 1980s and 1990s have little more than a confused, tangled concept of.'i cannot believe that people still watch television so i am going to pretend that they dont.'and in this comes the great denial, somewhere, of the fact that we must pretend to survive the insanity. Denials such as this: 'sometimes i feel like everything im doing and saying is a rude parody of the truth andmy reward for this witty satire is being sad'. Awful truths contained within, the veering disconnect of the impossible cataract of intentionless internet life. less
