The Robot Ate Me :: They Ate Themselves
In Virginia, everyone is emo. Everyone says Fuck you. A sulk and a good cry is as common as a shave and a haircut. Everyone owns a gun. Perhaps consequently, the ratio of citizens to cops is 3:1.3* Virginia contains many forests, and hence, always smells of dead or decomposing leaves. Good air. In Virginia the dune grass slopes down the sides of the sandy brows and curves to the left, much like the bangs of any emo dude sloping down the streets of Richmond. Every day is bright sunshine, glaring hard like glass on the dyed black hair of the bartender at Beach Hut Subs and Pub. If you are one of those people who believe that everyone has a dark side, then you are probably from Virginia, or believe that based on observing the actions of or relating to Virginians. Here is a question: Is Kurt Vonnegut emo? He would probably say no, fuck you. But do some people who espouse emo espouse Kurt Vonnegut? Most definitely yes, if they are Virginians. Another question: what is the connection between a drugged mind, a heartfelt apology, and two lovers having a falling out?
* this song clocks out at 3:13, for laymen, three minutes and thirteen seconds. Just try to be alive.
