A tipster sent this in yesterday. It’s a shirtless man reciting a poem very passionately on YouTube. I feel like a dick for posting it, knowing that there have been plenty of times in my life where I’ve both written and recited poetry, though I consider myself fortunate to have done so to a mirror and not a video camera, and to have grown out of that phase by age seventeen. As you watch this, I want you to think about your own most earnest moments, and give thanks that you chose not to broadcast them to the world. Also he totally cries at 1:50:
Yeah, I’m a dick. But it’s so creepy! Internet people: poetry is great and all, but please resist the urge to do this, it will not have the effect you’re intending. I promise. That said, I’ve saved a copy of this to use as my new go-to birthday video e-card.

Crying, sometimes, can be a kind of grace ... I went back to Phil’s book while I fed Ronan his prunes, and found a poem that resonated with the moment, with the passing of this life, with the helplessness I feel to assuage the suffering ...
You pulled down your college English 101. On a dogeared page sprinkled with iambic pentameter a forgotten poem seemed to cry for attention, and you remembered where you were sitting in class and how the students sighed and shuffled their feet at the teacher's droning.
































No no no no no no no.
Why would you do this to us, Lindsay? I couldn’t make it through even half of it. It’s too creepy.
Thanks for the reminder. I totally need to get my Burning Man tickets!
It’s creepy because he stares right into your soul. He sees your soul. And he wants to dance with it. Also when he said “I kissed” around 1:20, he totally starts to move in for one.
Dude’s secret gay lover is definitely filming this while the two are on vacation from their real families
I am going to be 100% honest. I, like a great deal of other people, I can imagine got to “I kissed” and simultaneously shuddered, laughed, and cowered in fear as he hissed it.
Thanks for the nightmares.
I watched the whole thing squinting my eyes and making a face while curled up and pulling backwards slowly, much like one does when a foul odor is slowly creeping in on them. This was probably the most embarrassed I’ve ever been for someone. The highlights were really that this man was shirtless, making an awful kiss face, and made his camera friend shudder with delight? fear? I can’t tell. I feel like I witnessed something I shouldn’t have, like a creepy English professor’s hostage video. Creepfest.
Wait, WHAT?
Youtube just ended. :O

Oh. My. Fucking. God. That really really really hurt.
