I agree. What makes it especially sad is that its obvious he's high on something (probably heroin). When I watched the video, I thought to myself that there is something off about this guy but maybe that is just how he is naturally.

what are you crying about?

is this about how i told you first about the prince charming thing?

i didn't actually tell you first but i thought you'd like to hear that and i value your opinion so that's why i did that

i don't know what else you're being fussy about though, you have a very high opinion of yourself

i don't know. i really like tao lin, his writing reminds me of algebraic equations, or something digital...
like i think maybe html coding or something.....

also i have thoughts about thinking things and then being conscious about that, and tao always seems conscious of this thoughts so i guess i feel some kind of connection to that alienated self-aware thought process. maybe not to his extent. also, megan boyle, his wife and fellow muumuu house contributor, is an amazing writer with so much life in comedy in her writing. i would honestly buy and read any book she ever writes.

tao sells his stuff because people will buy it. he has talked about stealing and selling batteries on ebay, even in his books i think, so it's nothing new. i guess he does it because people will buy what he sells. i would if i had the money, but i am still holding out for some kind of hamster drawing. I guess if you don't like him, whatever, don't read his work. no need to be babies.

I've never heard of him, but he's not the first poet to go completely under this year, obviously close to being homeless. Just like philosophy it's one of those jobs that you won't be making money with pretty soon.
