I’m inviting you to go to Paris, not to jail.

I went to a World Cup football game
Blowin on my vuvuzela
I blew til breathless I became
Blowin on my vuvuzela
I couldn’t breathe
I had to wheeze
I felt so faint and ill at ease
I was found with my head between my knees
Blowin on my vuvuzela
co/stanza: Why the internet hates Dave Eggers →
co-stanza.tumblr.com
On Google, there are 5,250 results for “I hate Dave Eggers.” There are 99 results for “I hate Jonathan Safran Foer,” and only 8 results for “I hate Jonathan Franzen.”
I assume a lot of this ‘hate’ for Eggers has built up over this latter part of his career where he has delved into childish, twee…
I found this entertaining as, while I’m not overly fond of Dave Eggers, I can’t separate my own slight dislike from the initial impression I garnered when reading A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, so it was nice to read another perspective. Although I do like the way he writes, or some odd reason I just can’t shake the BROMANCE out of my head while reading his stuff. This feeling of derision towards the innate ‘dude-ness’ of his writing persisted til the end of AHWOSG, which should have been very emotional and climatic but which I didn’t really feel anything for. I could just conclude that my distaste stems from a misalignment of empirical perspectives (perhaps I couldn’t identify with early 20’s middle-class male issues), but I love Jonathan Safran Foer? Perhaps Eggers’ success can be attributed to his timely filling of the niche of bromantic intelligentsia.
All my close friends are male and my sense of humour is similarly oriented to a male perspective…AHBWOSG is one of my favourite books of all time because it made me laugh out loud and it spoke in a way that I myself think in my own head. I do think its about being able to relate to the male outlook and being a tomboy is not the same as being able to have that understanding.

You will not be sorry. Make sure to bring plastic forks with you and a football.
Do people that live on their own still close the door when they go to the bathroom?

I would fuck Hamish.
Even though he is a bit of a cock eye.
One of my exes was actually approached by fans he looked so much like Hamish….even so, NO. See previous blog post.
There are few people I hate more than
Hamish & Andy
