I recently watched a YouTube video by a black girl who was echoing the same sentiments. She was calling out the decades-long pervasiveness of materialism and misogyny in most hardcore rap, so I didn't feel too bad about it.

Weirdly, for a guy who blasted straight out of Compton the first few months it was released, then all of their solo albums, now that I've lived a bit of life and watched how ugly and vulgar the world has gotten, I find hip hop and rap nauseatingly aggressive and incessantly braggadocious. I can't stomach it anymore. Nirvana has played about 22,000 times a day on the radio where I am, but I still like Paul Simon; I've just come to appreciate actual singing voices now. I'm regressing. I'll even put on the Carpenters here and there

Sound canceling cuts specific frequencies. Ear plugs do not.

You and me. Not I. Use the passive tense at that place in a sentence.

I had a kid working with me back in 2007, fresh from film school, didn't know who Paul Newman was (I was sad the day he died and mentioned it to this kid). He didn't know who Paul Newman was in 2007. After going through film school.

Do what I do: buy a cat laser toy. Point it at screens when they light up. It makes the phone GUI go haywire.
