A Hipster Tale
October 29, 2007 – 8:47 amA Hipster in NY means those guys who try real hard to be cool and different. Alternative and artsy to the tenth degree. They tend to be kinda of anti-establishment, wanna be bad boys, usually from good families. Not the kind of bad boys you would want in an actual fight to back you up though. Their leather jackets are bought from used stores. Their hair is greasy and unkempt with the finest hair gels. They carry moleskin pads in their back pockets. Mickey Mouse versions of Jack Kerouac. They are an ok bunch. Completely harmless, funny as hell though as they try so hard to be alternative and find meaning. In everything. This guy has it down to a science, I particularly love the penis rss button, it’s so fucking alternative man.

Jack Kerouac was a mama’s boy who couldn’t take care of himself.
The Beat hero was actually a pretty despicable human being who whined about the demands of the women whose children he fathered, which he neither acknowledged nor supported.
On the Road was a great inspiration to me when I was seventeen, but when I revisited it in later years I saw that it really wasn’t very good writing.
His other works are worse, although Dharma Bums was good the last time I read it.
He spent his last years, before he died in 1969 of alcoholism, denouncing anti-Vietnam War protesters.

It happens all the time. I’m doing my own thing and strangers assume I am just trying to be different, for the sake of opposing something. They overlook the true motivation: I want to do what I think is right, and what makes me happy. This path happens to be distinct from other people’s.
I don’t know why you overlook my true motivation. Unlike you, I don’t profess to be an expert in the inner workings of a stranger’s mind.
I also don’t wear hair gel, etc… but you can make up whatever you want; you can apply whatever limp stereotypes you think will strengthen your little argument. After all, it is your blog.

Jake,
I’m just fucking around thats what we do here,no hard feelings man. I love your shit dude, the penis does have to go it’s just scary and gross. Vimeo fucking rocks though. Like the HD vibe, everyone seems real nice all that good shit bro. Digging on you and your chick the whole vibe. We should do a double date one night or something go grab some chops with the broads. You shoot pool? I love pool. Anyway like I said I’m feeling it, and could you please have the fellas build me a batch upload function please.
Thanks,
Loren

I think his girlfriend is hot, especially towel-wrapped in the bathroom, but it wasn’t her physicality that made me feel like a voyeur watching his ‘Really, really, really…secure’ video.
It was the intimacy of a moment that didn’t need an audience.
I felt unclean after I watched it.

“Let’s get steaks with our female companions.†I like it. New York vernacular I presume.

Jakob shouldn’t take it so personally. He needs to understand that this is what 1938 Media does - and its not hateful - cynicism and schadenfreude.
I gotta say….if it wasn’t for 1938 Media, I’d of never heard of Jakob (or Vimeo for that matter). B/c of this “stunt” I went over and watched a few vids and was impressed.
Yeah, its a little sappy and a little gay, but Jakob, your vids are the real deal.
Good job. And if you (Jakob) are “so secure” then you wouldn’t give a shit what 1938Media says about you.
Loren - man, what can I say - I’m loving what you are doing here man.
