stovepipes and intros

i have a confession. i'm judgemental. there is this super cute girl in my english class, but i can't be friends with her because she wears flared jeans (l.e.i. stonewash). along with 75% of my peers, i have caught the skinny, tapered jeans bug. and i've got it bad. bad to the point where i've started judging my friends on their choice of jeans. and disown them, if it sucks. doesn't everyone realize that skinny just looks better? but you know, i shouldn't be such a bitch. a long, long, long time ago (spring 2004) i, myself, wore flared jeans. yes, it's true. i was a senior in high school with a wet seal card. and i can finally admit it but only because i own a pair of sass & bides. i don't want anyone to think that i am an elitist with an impeccable sense of style. i just want people to trust me and my opinions. and a girl with flared jeans cannot be trusted.

jaggers intro

As a thirty-two year old white female living in the USA I am of course interested in spreading my love for crunk, puppies, and finding sustainable energy sources. I am a long time listener, first time authority of music. Some may believe that I have dropped out of the 'new' music scene, but it would not be true. I am continually bored by what is indie, punk, and rock. You might see me posting about Polish jazz trumpeters instead of Tilly and The Wall, but I guarantee you my opinion will be educated.

Uh, ilgill, uh

In the course of human events, few things have truly earned the title of "innovation." Fire, sliced bread, the airplane, and the atom bomb have all barely impacted the evolution of civilization compared to the sheer force that will be "Bad Off Sick."

Hi, my name is Gilbert and I'm a nerd rapper. Videogames, teh internet, and bad music are my favorite things in life. Because of my interests I enjoy exaggeration and hyperbole, and I'm prone to either being highly facetious or rather crude. Usually both at once. However, during this auspicious occasion of the creation of my lovely g/f's new blog I have chosen the former. This may be contrary to how I will write in the future for I find the intricacies of the vernacular to be quite liberating. Those familiar with my work in the field of music may know exactly what I mean. Those unfamiliar will soon find out. Perhaps as soon as the next sentence, bitches.

bad off sick is.....

The most realistic thing on my to-do list right now. Rather than jumping right into re-learning French, making a full-length film, and sewing a ready-to-wear collection, I've decided to start here. After living in LA for about 3 months, I had a mini-crisis just yesterday where I started to feel like I was falling back into a routine again. Among the interests I've taken up are: being a wino, eating everywhere possible, and being a wino. Oh, and also not finishing anything I start. Either I've had writer's block for about a year, or I've just gotten sucked into the leisurely LA lifestyle.....I think it's both, but it certainly cannot continue. I want to be creative again and start doing things that I care about. With this blog, I want to give hip kids with a point a view a forum to share their interests and opinions, and relate to each other as well. I graduated from college last December, and all I have to show for it is a boring 9-5, expensive shoes, and a minimally furnished West Hollywood apartment that I can just barely afford. But Bad off Sick will be my Rushmore.

I'd like this blog to follow in the footsteps of magazines like Nylon and i-D. It's going to be a cultural extravaganza of film, fashion, art, and music. As for the name....it's got nothing to do with anything, and everything to do with the funniest inside joke of my life. Maybe I'll tell you about it. But you'll have to stay tuned.
