i'm not sure why you constantly single yourself out as selfish. everyone is selfish to some degree, they just don't think about it as much as you apparently do. you should try thinking of it from the perspective that, unlike most other people, your selfishness happens to manifest itself in the form of constant altruism. stop focusing on the whys, if you're nice to people and it works then just roll with it.

Tommy, extricate yourself from any situation in which this person would bother you.
I have a few new songs. The first one I made with Leafcutter John's free "Forester" program. It loads 6 random 8-second sound clips (non-mp3) from a folder of your choice and represents them as colored circles on a plane. You run your cursor over them and it dynamically creates sound. Record and load back into your program of choice and boom, electronic drone sound.
The song I built out of that drone ended up being really Boards of Canada-y, or rather, early BoC-y. I like it but I'd never be able to really show it to anyone.
Also I'm writing an essay on the Cato Institute. Those are some white-ass motherfuckers.

I find that once you realize just how connected your own happiness is to the people around you, and how many ways there are for each to feed back into the other, being selfish and being altruistic become kind of the same thing and being nice suddenly is more fun than anything.
Emaline:
Tommy, stay out of my conversations with my meatlife friends. I basically told one of my friends that I am terribly selfish because I am a music elitist, and that makes me horrible.
But I don't want to date someone who likes Dave Matthews and Matchbox 20. No. I just don't see how we are compatible.
And then my meatlife, vaguely goth, very angry/mopey/bitter/cynical friend told me that he likes Dave Matthews and Matchbox 20 makes him sad(but I am certain that it doesn't make him sad the same way it makes me sad). Then I realized I was glad we never dated.
Also, I just finished The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman, and I am in tears. Fuck. I don't want my kids to grow up, and I don't want to leave my previously mentioned friend ever.
Gilead:
Man Emaline I just finished that book the other day on the train, I was sniffling a little by the time I got to the end.
