Hello World! It’s Ezra

When you first learn any computer programming language, the first thing you typically learn is to print the textual message “Hello world!” to the screen. So, in the spirit of needlessly esoteric shit that only a very specific subset of people within an already specific category of weird-ass people who’ve mostly never had sex with another human: Hello World! Welcome to my first blog/online article/post/thingy since my teenaged years (wait, is that like 20-something years ago now?) when I spent a lot of time quietly surfing other blogs and envying other people’s lives from a distance while arguing with and sometimes belittling other losers in blog world who had very little much better to do. I guess it’s not different from social media world today.

Here is what I promise you’ll get from reading my substack posts from here on out:

• Nothing

• Possibly some depression deeply rooted in existential malaise

• Cool weird thoughts

• Not-cool thoughts but they are still weird

• K-Rage (a.k.a. feelings indexing collective Korean emotion of intensely frustrated desire that don’t translate directly into English but like you’ll know it when you feel it bc it’ll feel really really bad but then k-pop songs will make sense)

Here is a photo of an apple farm in 경상북도 where I was hanging out last week. FYI: if you don’t know that region of Korea, it’s basically the MAGA of Korea (MKGA?). It was a peaceful time.

Lastly, I’m not quite sure who I’m writing this substack for. I think it is mainly for myself—to simply get my thoughts documented somewhere. But another part of my curiosity includes: what do other people think about what I think? Some rides in life are funner with more people. (Example: threesomes!)

So until it’s time for “Goodbye World!”, here we fucking go. Now, a comic about my dog-niece Ellie:
