I thought the name was familiar — I just checked and I’ve got a Tao Lin book on my shelf, I haven’t read it though.

Yeah, yeah you're famous, dawg. I'm more interested in getting the names of those "three or four ardent fans who are only too pleased to come over and allow us to snort cocaine off their bare ass cheeks". Nobody told me they came with blogging. Damn, I've missed so much.

Thanks for the comments. Just to clarify, however, this isn’t a post borne out of a desire to be famous. Quite the opposite, in fact. I find the popular cultural rush towards meaningless fame at any costs to be so distasteful that it makes me feel ill.

Once you posted the following:
“ I’m never going to be famous. My name will never be writ large on the roster of Those Who Do Things. I don’t do any thing. Not one single thing. I used to bite my nails, but I don’t even do that any more. ”

and also if I do not remember bad you said you hated brainstormings and thinking in groups, so I guess I should not be able to help you think, but I am going to break the rules, if you allow me (Don’t think I am a stalker, or do if you want to, I just happen to like what you write or quote, and I have a good memory for some things)

I do not get it, I am really sorry you are feeling like shit, the universe it is changing amazingly fast, rules are changing, I do not think we are being able to catch up, I am trying, but still. I do research on social networks, I checked 50 social sharing stuff so far, I downloaded my country web and started to do some analysis on if social contents, I guess that is my way of feeling safe and in control.

Have you noticed for example that you can have friendfeed and there include your twine and in your twine include other stuff which will include your friendfeed, its so wierd that, I can not figure it out.

Let me know if I can be of any help.

It makes me laugh reading the word fame while I’m still thinking in italian.

Love it. And who knew you liked to be touched on the inside of your elbow *that* much?

There are very few talented people who can make me laugh, pause, think, shock, mad, sad, and smile at the same time, and you’re one of them.

You are famous in my book.
