me: Omar, why are u
doing videos of you smoking? who do u think u are a role model for children
omar: tbh i don't even believe in smoking
me: 2pac said he;s not a role model bc "a role is something
you play and a model is something you make, and i'm not fake."
as
u can see, that rhymes
omar: if children speak english they won't understand french, so
that can be interesting if u are able to understand portugese
or
something
me: this is going well
i
feel like u just said something deep and i didnt get it
what
the fuck are u on about omar
omar: wel if u look at the history of the thing
then
it's true
me: lol
omar: just look at the facts
me: when i examine the record, it becomes clear
omar: no no
me: lol
omar: the record is for playing music
i
am talking about historical documents
u
feel me
me: yea...i "feel u," omar
omar: lie
between
good
and evil
is
'and'
u
feel me?
me: trying to think of an abusive nonsequitur
omar: ok
exactly
so
if u flip it
then
it becomes a completely different things
for
example
yesterday
i was walking on the road
to
talk to the locals
and
u know what they always say?
they
talk about jobs dissapearing
and
frankly
i
can understand their point
me: Do you care about like "literary culture" or would
you rather just look at cute girls' facebooks/twitters?
this
is a dumb and obvious q i just realized
omar: for me
it
can be an interesting debate
for
example
is
there a culture
what
is a cute girl
these
are questions that are also debatable
so
it can take a v long time
for
example
do
u believe in culture stephen
me: no
Hey
Omar
what's
your favorite Blink song
omar: ok that is very interesting to some people
maybe
not me
me: this is a great performance so far bravo
whats
your favorite blink song
omar: blink 182?
me: yea
omar: oh ok
me: was just thinking: this interview will just make all the girls
like u more
nothing
else will be accomplished
ur
so selfish
omar: the one where they talk about the small things
me: shitty choice
omar: well ok
that
is your opinion
me: lol
omar: and i will defend to the death your right to have it
me: who cut your hair
recently
didja
self-cut
omar: thank you
me: lol
omar: i wanted to talk about this
me: lol
omar: u mentioned it in the pre-interview
i
went to this barber
who
is chinese
and
she calls me 'handsome boy'
which
is something i like
because
very
interesting sidebar
she
is very good
at
making me feel comfortable
me: ever listen to handsome boy modeling school
are
they...are they somehow the same band...
omar: because she doesn't speak english
me: as...we are scientists...
somehow...
omar: i'm not sure what you're talking about
me: english makes u nervous?
omar: but i'm glad u are listening to different kinds of music
me: what should a girl do if she has u over
or
a boy
omar: to answer your first question
english
doesn't make me nervous
to
answer your second question
i
would need you to go into more detail
me: how have u met girls
didja
ever meet a girl at camp
on
a bus
in
a garage
in
a field
in
a meadow
ata
pub
omar: mostly the girls meet me
i
think
me: rest stop
is
that so
omar: yes
it
depends where i am
in
that situation
me: wherever u are, there they meet u
omar: no no
now
u are twisting my word
frankly
when
a girl meets me
or
i meet a girl, as u put it
it
is by chance
for
example
i
once knew a girl
because
she hung around with my flat mate
and
i stayed in my room
while
they drank in the common area
to
seem mysterious
and
also
because
i was shy
at
some point
i
went to sit with them
and
we made eye contact
then
as she was leaving i asked for her email
and
spoke to her on msn
me: you DO seem mysterious
omar: messenger
well
idk
about that
as
you can see
i
have a twitter, tumblr and used to have facebook
and
am available on gchat
can
u see those
me: what would it take for u to go back on facebook for good
as
it were
omar: well
to
be honest
since
u asked the question
i
am going to answer it
me: exciting
omar: i have secretly been activating fb
mostly
to view pix of girls
however
someone
said to me yesterday
after
i mentioned that i deactivated fb
that
i will be back on it within a week
so
i feel if i turn it on again
'for
good'
i
will seem like a lil bitch
and
i care what ppl think
it is one of my flaws
what
can i say though, i am human
we
all have our flaws
u
feel me?
me: i wonder sometimes...if u think abt the feelings of others..
i
do wonder that...
omar: well
that
is an interesting point
v
metaphysical
have
u read the philosophy?
me: no i havent read it
have
u seen "a dangerous method"
omar: no
me: me neither
cool
omar: i would rather stay on topic
me: it looked good tho
omar: hold on
lets
finish what u started
me: can one tho remain on topic
omar: u haven't deactivated fb
am
i right in saying that?
me: you have said so
omar: ok
so
i will assume that is true
since
u wont give me a straight answer
do
u consider the feelings of ppl who want u to deactivate fb?
me: When are u coming to amerika
omar: awp '13
me: cool
u
heard it here first
omar: oh

ha
me: u can meet elaine

god
omar: are we breaking the 4th wall now
me: it's broke
omar: ok
me: can u take some sexie fotos to accompany this interview

as i cant peruse ur fbook pix

ur a selfish prick
omar: do you remember when i made my point about u not deactivating
fb?
me: just go in photobooth for a while
what
else should i deactivate
omar: i don't have photobooth
