Sucky people suck. There are a lot of them, but there are also a lot of unsucky people. If only there were a Yik Yak for unsucky people only.

I truly believe that there is an evolution of consciousness occurring and while we largely live in the stone ages regarding how we perceive one another, I'm confident that perhaps my children, and certainly my grand children will live in a world where the only kind of Yik Yak is the unsucky kind. Bigots and uninformed assholes are a dying breed. I know it's hard to imagine it so, given the loud voices of the sucky-people, but the unsucky's outnumber them. Now, if only more of the unsucky's were in positions of authority...

God that link sucked. Okay, back to music

Yikyak is a pretty upbeat in my neighborhood.

I have noticed that mine is definitely about college. Lots of questions about certain professors and exams etc. I live within 2 miles of UNC, that's probably why

I'm right near a Catholic college. Most the talk is about parties, school or who hooking up. Lots of jokes, never racist (a bit of SJW stuff) a fair number of sad or lonely people. They talk about netfilx a hell of a lot.

    last night I got so high and it felt really good

Dude, thanks for the badge.

Total aside: Today I listened to this interview and took a lot of hope from it. First of all, it's an amazing interview but beyond that, you have two extremely powerful and influential personalities having an extremely open and honest discussion. An older Jewish man from Rosevelt and a younger black man from Marcy Projects, most people would assume they're worlds apart, but they still have a fascinating conversation.

I'm a fan of both now.

ISS YA BOY. I'll have to hook you on some Jay-Z albums then.

And I met your album. You know, the one you're totally writing, recording and producing before putting on bandcamp right now? That one. You know the one.

Which album. Fuck! Am I supposed to mail you an album?
