@b yes ,yes, maybe
hope u and noah are getting mad $$ in korea
You know, I've dogged you in the past for being an ass, but I think more about what you write than a lot of other contemporary writers and I think what has pissed me off so much in the past is how well you capture the inanity of a generation that's sucked into this world. Either that, or I just like to feed my depression with a little humor.
I'm not sure if I should read the "story" and the comments, or just the comments, or not read the comments and definitely read the story... Or maybe just delete my browser history after i out click. I came here to spam my pinterest or something, but now I am mildly to less than moderately interested and don't want anyone to know about my shitty pinterest/Internet stuff.

Tao, do you listen to WHY?
hey tao. in an interview you did a while back, you mentioned how you liked to watch youtube videos of people answering questions both 'on and 'off' various drugs. can you send me a link to these videos.
thanks!
Hi Tao. Are you working on a new novel? I just finished Richard Yates and am wanting more.
hey you fucking faggots stop with thi s stupid fan immitation of tao joke, what are you looking for? appraisal?
youre doing it WRONG anyways, do you even Get it?
ok faggots? so stop it,
What a blog name. Heheheheheheheh. I like this very much.
i did not read this story. but i will now, because of THIS story: on my AP gov exam i wrote 3 of the essays well, and didn't want to write anymore. SO since you have to respond to all 4 questions, i did the only thing i could think of. in essay #4 answer page, i wrote in huge letters:
"LISTEN TO JAWBREAKER."
i gave it to the supervisor and left.
Wonderful blog! Do you have any helpful hints for aspiring writers?
I'm hoping to start my own site soon but I'm a little lost on everything.
Would you advise starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option?
There are so many choices out there that I'm totally overwhelmed .. Any tips? Thanks!

I messed up and lost my initial comment. For whatever dumbass reason I really like that people are described in 'one go'; energetic-looking, Mediterranean-looking. Wonder what "[?]-looking" I am. I was also pleasantly surprised that Jawbreaker is an actual thing when I googled, cheers.
An outstanding share! I've just forwarded this onto a friend who has been doing a little research on this. And he actually ordered me dinner due to the fact that I discovered it for him... lol. So allow me to reword this.... Thank YOU for the meal!! But yeah, thanks for spending the time to talk about this issue here on your blog.
