1. With friends you don’t love. There’s a big difference between “love” and “know”.
2. With books you can’t give your heart to.
3. With bands that don’t write for you. (But beware of bands that sing about “us”. Their us is their us. I have my own us and so do you. See: “Universality and co-opted micro-culture/community as marketing strategy”.)
4. With people who are playing you for status or scene cred. Note: don’t schmooze. Ever. Be good to the good of heart. F*ck the rest. You don’t need them. Your life is busy as it is. Don’t waste your time with creepy fame-vampires.
5. With the bandwagon jumpers.
6. With anyone who doesn’t make up their own mind about a cause.
7. With anything that doesn’t make you better in its presence.

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME
