dear tumblr user crim wickedpact pls write the essay/dissertation about nicky being shakespeare's fair youth (if you have time, ofc!!)

Not To Imply Nicky Was Shakespeare’s Fair Youth But Ive Read The Fair Youth Sonnets & Nicky Was Definitely Shakespeare’s Fair Youth, an essay by me, tumblr user crim wickedpact

background knowledge: our man shakespeare wrote some 120 sonnets about a young man referred to as the Fair Youth during the mid 1590s; there has been some debate among shakespeare enthusiasts whether shakespeare’s interest in the Fair Youth was platonic or romantic (but like. they were definitely romantic). no one knows for sure who the Fair Youth was, but it was definitely nicky and my first and most important piece of evidence regarding this hypothesis is the ‘lmao babe do you remember that guy who had a crush on me?’/ ‘i try not to remember the guy who had a crush on you’ look joe and nicky exchange when Merrick brings up shakespeare during the movie. especially since gina confirmed in a tweet that joe and nicky canonly did know shakespeare

my second piece of evidence is that it just Works (except for a couple small facts like.. the Fair Youth was prolly closer to his 20s than his 30s. and the fact that shakespeare implies that the Fair Youth slept with his mistress at one point. but he doesnt know what hes talking about shhh we IGNORE)

long post under cut

A. The Description Matches

when describing the Fair Youth (who I’ll call the FY from now on), shakespeare says he has a ‘gold complexion’ and ‘beautiful eyes’ and compares him to a ‘summer’s day’. He says the FY has “A woman’s gentle heart" and “An eye more bright than [women’s are], (...) Gilding the object whereupon [they] gazeth”

As much as shakespeare’s perceptions of sexuality and gender are very........ late 1500′s (whoo boy sonnet #20 is a wild ride) ...... the description does match, and also:

B. The Fair Youth Refused to Get Married

it’s never really said why one way or another (shakespeare assumes it’s because the FY is selfish) but the FY didn’t/wouldn’t take on a wife and have a kid, and this was something that was a real sticker for our man Willy S. because, as he says in his sonnets a million times: beauty doesn’t last forever, but having a child not only passes down the FY’s beauty, but also blesses the woman the FY would have a child with (im not saying shakespeare wanted to bear the FY’s children, but he definitely did)

Whose fresh repair if now thou not renewest, Thou dost beguile the world, unbless some mother. For where is she so fair whose uneared womb Disdains the tillage of thy husbandry?

(ie. If you don’t renew yourself/ have children, you deprive the world and deprive a woman from having your child, since what woman out there is so beautiful that she wouldn’t want to bear your child?)

Like.

1.) if nicky is the FY then so many of these poems center around the idea of nicky growing old sometime soon and that must have been pretty funny to Nicky and

2.) the fact that shakespeare would have been So Desperate for nicky to find a wife must have been the opposite of funny to joe. considering the ease of his and nicky’s relationship and the fact that being gay in late 1500s england was probably not a walk in the park, it is very likely shakespeare wouldn’t have known they were in a committed relationship-- or at least not known how close they actually were. Thus:

C. The Rival (aka. Joe)

shakespeare mentions having a poetic rival in regards to the FY in several sonnets. In sonnet #21 he talks about how he’s not like Those Other Writers who use grand metaphors to talk about their muses

So is it not with me as with that Muse, Stirred by a painted beauty to his verse, Who heaven itself for ornament doth use And every fair with his fair doth rehearse, Making a couplement of proud compare With sun and moon, with earth and sea's rich gems, With April's first-born flowers, and all things rare,

(ie. I’m not like other poets who, when inspired by a ‘painted beauty’ use heaven and every other beautiful thing on the planet to make a grand comparison to their muse: he specifically lists the sun and moon as examples as well as other beautiful things)

He then goes on to say

And then believe me, my love is as fair As any mother's child, though not so bright As those gold candles fixed in heaven's air:

(ie. my love [the FY] is as beautiful as any other beautiful person, though I wouldn’t compare them to the stars/heavens (which is what he means by the 'gold candles’. those are stars.))

So shakespeare insults poets who compare their subjects to the sun, moon, and stars (amongst other things) and in the comics, Joe does literally exactly that

That man is the stars in my sky, and the sun that lights my days. That man is the moon when I'm lost in darkness, and warmth when I shiver in cold.

shakespeare also goes on to say in the same sonnet “Let them say more that like of hearsay well / I will not praise that purpose not to sell” which is to say ‘let people who like that kind of language use it, I wont because I don’t want anyone else to have the subject of my affections (the FY)’.

(which is a bit of a contradiction regarding his feelings abt the FY getting married, but these sonnets are full of contradictions. shakespeare was a confused dude; man spent the first 100 or so sonnets convinced the FY loved him back only for him to start wondering if the FY ever loved him near the end)

(not to mention Marriage For Love wasnt really.. much of a thing in Ye Olden Times but thats a different conversation. so shakespeare prolly didnt associate marriage with love/competition? anyways)

Shakesy-boo goes on to complain about this rival several times. In #79, he says

Yet what of thee thy poet doth invent He robs thee of, and pays it thee again. He lends thee virtue, and he stole that word From thy behaviour; beauty doth he give, And found it in thy cheek: he can afford No praise to thee, but what in thee doth live.

(ie. everything ‘your poet’ (as the FY apparently favored this unnamed rival) says about you, he takes it from you in the first place. he talks about your virtue, but learned the word from watching your behavior. he calls you beautiful but only discovered beauty by looking at your face. every compliment he gives you he took from you in the first place)

[and, as a smaller example, he also bemoans the fact that people want to paint the FY in #67, saying, “Why should false painting imitate his cheek, / And steal dead seeming of his living hue?”. and yknow. Joe’s an artist.]

And then another example in #86

Was it the proud full sail of [the rival’s] great verse, Bound for the prize of all too precious you, That did my ripe thoughts in my brain inhearse, Making their tomb the womb wherein they grew?

Was it his spirit, by spirits taught to write Above a mortal pitch, that struck me dead?

(ie. he’s talking about how he’s having difficulty writing abt the FY and is rhetorically asking if ‘the proud sail’ of the rival’s verses was the reason his ‘ripe thoughts’ were killed in their ‘womb’. He then asks (again rhetorically) if it was the rival’s ‘spirit’ (or creativity, maybe) ‘’’‘by spirits taught to write’’’’ that killed his own drive to write. none of the analyses I’ve read really explain what shakespeare means by ‘spirits taught to write’, other than maybe being a joke or reference to something we dont know, but... ‘taught by dead people to write in a way mortal people can’t’ very much sounds like a description of an immortal poet, eh?)

Which brings me to,

D. Willy Boy Thinks There Are 500 Year Old Writings About the Fair Youth

shakespeare talks about people having written about the FY ‘500 years ago’ from the late 1500s in #59 which......................... would have been around 1100 AD. :thinking face:

Oh that record could with a backward look, Even of five hundred courses of the sun, Show me your image in some antique book, Since mind at first in character was done, That I might see what the old world could say To this composed wonder of your frame;

(ie. Oh if I could look back 500 years and see how you were described in some old books so I could see/reference what people used to write about you)

Which again brings me to,

E. I’m Not Saying shakespeare Stole From Joe, But:

1.) In #22, shakespeare says this,

For all that beauty that doth cover thee, Is but the seemly raiment of my heart, Which in thy breast doth live, as thine in me:

(ie, your beauty is due to the ‘clothes’ my heart gives you-- probably means something like ‘you’re beautiful because i love you’. goes on to say his heart lives in the FY’s chest, and the FY’s heart lives in shakespeare’s chest)

so: shakespeare tells the FY he has shakespeare’s heart. in comparison, Joe calls nicky ‘my heart’ in the comics...... :thinking face x2:

2.) In #109, shakespeare tells the FY ‘thou art my all’,

For nothing this wide universe I call, Save thou, my rose, in it thou art my all.

which rings similar to Joe’s ‘he’s all and he’s more’ as well as (from the comics) ‘he is my everything’

and just saying. joe looks pretty #done the mention of shakespeare.

F. The last One

Despite shakespeare writing 30+ poems about the FY eventually growing old, the very last poem he writes about/for the FY says,

O thou, my lovely boy, who in thy power Dost hold Time's fickle glass, his sickle hour; Who hast by waning grown, and therein showest Thy lovers withering, as thy sweet self growest.

(ie. you [the FY] have power over the ‘mirror’ (fickle glass) of time as well as time’s ‘harvesting’ ability (sickle hour) and as you grow older, you remain beautiful while your lovers [shakespeare] wither and grow old)

The transition from ‘get married and have a baby before you get old!!!!’ in #1-20 to talking about the FY’s presence in 500 y/o books in #59 to admitting the FY isn’t growing old in #126 kinda seems to imply shakespeare learning of/about nicky’s immortality at some point, and this last poem is him accepting it.

TLDR: not only does it make perfect sense if nicky was the Fair Youth from the FY sonnets, but it also makes perfect sense if joe was the Rival from the FY sonnets. its canon nothing will convince me otherwise

#IS THIS GETTING TAGGED? YES #nicolo di genova #joe x nicky #my_essays #the fair youth saga

I was catching up with my old boss (I quit my warehouse job of 14 years in 2020 to finally take out student loans and transfer to uni to get my bachelor’s degree), and he asked where I was working for the summer.

I told him I’m currently working at a local movie theater. nbd. It’s a good job, I enjoy it, my coworkers, and management, and it pays for most of my bills. His response irked me more than I initially realized.

“Oh… well, I mean, you do like movies.”

I worked with and for this man for over ten years, and after having gotten to know each other as pretty-close-to-being-friends/definitely-friends-at-work, his assumptions seem to be that I got the job so I can get cheap/free movies. And that’s it.

I’m absolutely overthinking this, as you I do, because he’s a good dude, and just didn’t get why I was fine with a part-time job w/out benefits that pays $4/hr less than my good-paying full-time warehouse job w/ benefits.

(And I’m absolutely gonna guess that if he mentions my new employment with a CeRtAiN former coworker, then this CeRtAiN woman will think it’s an embarrassing and degrading job because “ew, minimum wage”.)

But here’s the deal, that just about everyone still on tumblr knows: Minimum wage, entry level, “no-experience-required” jobs aren’t embarrassing to have, and I wish older generations would just GET that, y’know? I’m on my feet all day, pouring popcorn and drinks for mostly pleasant people and the occasional patron with a tree branch stuck up their ass, and no, it’s not glamorous at all. I wear an oversized polo shirt with our company colors, my hair’s up in a bun that resembles 💩 because I just have TOO much hair, and I’m constantly spilling shit on myself (bc I’m clumsy or the beer tap is out and just splashed onto my arms/face) or doing things like checking/cleaning the restrooms. And we’re catering to the masses, who are sometimes graceless when it comes to just dealing with the fact that lines exist and won’t magically disappear just because someone left their house late for the movies on the night Shang-Chi opened. (That’s on you, Karen.)

But, like, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with having a minimum wage job, even as a person in their mid-30’s. No, it’s not the “career” I’m “supposed to” have by now, and it’s not even in the same field. But it’s a legitimate job. It’s honest work, I get paid on time, management at our location is SUPER good (very thankful for this), and the job itself and the hours work really well for my personality and lifestyle. And I also get free movies and discounted concessions. Noice!

I just got bummed out that this old boss that I felt knew me pretty well missed the mark on why I would choose this “step down” of a job, but it honestly doesn’t matter. I expect to be at this place during the school year, which I wouldn’t be able to do with my warehouse job; I can go to the movies for free/cheap if I need a brain break from classes and homework; I enjoy my coworkers and no one has openly judged me or my opinions/life plans like a CeRtAiN former coworker did on several occasions; and the commute is a solid 20 minutes shorter than the warehouse job. And I’m not even the oldest person working here! Like, people who “did it the right way” and got their education and got a corporate-type job can take a step back and mind their business. I’m not gonna be ashamed that my life has been “reduced” to taking crumpled up ones from children who are probably too young for that R-rated movie, or for making 16 icees for a family of five who are really impatient to get to their theater before the trailers end.

This is my job, and I have it and will hopefully keep it, and not because of the free movies, but because it’s a good fit for me, and I do my job well. If anyone else thinks it’s a step down or that it’s a shame that I couldn’t get a “better” job, well they can sit down and shut up because they’re wrong and it really isn’t any of their business. A job is a job, and minimum wage work is no less legitimate than a corporate job given to an experienced person with a degree. Just let people have their jobs without having an opinion about it.

Night of July 5th, 2022 > 6th

ATTEMPTED MURDER / SUICIDE

209 backup singer lady 30's late heavy set,

Yells "Fat Twat!" Towards daughter's room. 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 second pause.

Boom!

Clear gunshot.

Little girl visitor not always around comes into the room from under my bedroom, to see what happened.

Loudest scream I've ever heard. Runs out door.

Loud saw noise from hall.

Comes from 307.

Stops in front of "GET HIT!" "LEAVE!" Room 309, big girl black and early 20's.

Stops with saw less loud.

"I'm KKK and I hate niggers, Do you want steven to stand up for you?"

Dude sounded like guy from early pounding on my door with a large power tool night before, I didn't answer it and and sw through the peep hole a tall white fat fuck version of Beckman, from 306. A mad fucker who got sent out of the 3rd floor.

Was obviously a slide on the eyehole.

Starts up power tool, a chainsaw not even a chainsaw, much bigger, cuts door.

3-4 minutes of loud cutting door.

I was thinking "where's the little brother? Oh fuck sake!"

Ceiling intercom Speaker box:

"As your lawyer/attorney I advise you to stay in your room,"

Slide of Mark (from Retard gang Luke, Matt, Shane, Kevin Schultz, John Zenobia, etc. Fano, Yuroslav)

301 - on projector slide: woman (50s, 60's, 70s) (Puerto Rican woman lives with her son in his mid-late 30s w shitzhu dog) walks out points a high caliber silver magnum type handgun .44? / .357? In the direction of the area where sawing was headed.

Slide recorded earlier turns back after aiming gun and goes back to end of hall into her room.

Finally sawing stops-or as going a guy/hand white trash piece fucker - comes out of Roy's room 307, at his moms house in milwaukee for the weekend.

This was the night of July 5, 2022.

Dude sounds like he comes near saw dude, guessing to cover him incase I come out to bat him to death.

Hear him close 308.

Grandma lady mother of back up singer crazy bitch black lady, mean fucker, called hits on me, hostage in roys room with unknown. Waiting to get killed I'm assuming (after gun suicide murder attempt through the floor to me on the couch, from bellow) Woman was dusted by duster or pulse riffle off site on onsite with scope, no question.

Scope snipe to save me from gunfire.

Dawn Douty shoots her downed from pulse riffle duster, with silver handgun, scope on the top. (Seen from security, guessing Government and non-government to my eyes) aiming up at me-through 209's floor, right before she said called someone in the room a FAT TWAT, not a FAT CUNT, guessing it was her 13 year old or 12 year old, because she cued a raid from the police or dawn Doubty to come shoot her.

Dawn Doubty shoots her head off in one shot, sounded muffled i am guessing there was a struggle and that there was blood everywhere.

Assuming that's where she hit her.

Young 1 and half year old or so little girl, mean to me through floor often, sadistic mean, comes out and sees her and screams runs out door.

I heard this through the floor right above sitting on my fuckin' couch.

11:30 PM? 10:30 PM

July 5, 2022

Tuesday i think...

So back to the saw in the hall outside my door, the black girl the size of a safety in tackle football that wpuld fuck me up no question, is heard from the other side of the door, starts sawing with a hack saw.

I realize they are playing a skit, a roleplay to fuck me up, with closet storage to the left of the girl's door 309. Closet storage 13 or 14, pretty sure 14.

Stops sawing, giddy, silly, psycho tone of voice, (why did you do this?)

"I wanted to hit or thumb or kick or (VERB missing) can't remember steven's hit or mob hit or whatever the word was, "enemy?" Etc.???

Asks her to go in my room, steven's, gets downed hard.

Hits floor not moving.

Terrifying moment.

Intercom has words of dude with saw is killed for fucking around.

Wasn't supposed to go that close to me with power tools. I'm guessing because both Tony Scott and Hunter S. Thompson solodato'd me in thier savage murder. (Suicide by Magnum .44 and jumping off San Pedro bridge)

Certain things were supposedly prevented or tried to be prevented by their actions of heroic and sad madness. These fucks...

I look out peep hole-

See two 5'6" 5'7" medical police workers checking body.

Maybe a slide on door hole, had several of those recently.

15-20-30 minutes later...

Saw guy in 303 area apartment, cut with power tools on boards, talks through it.-

"GET IT UP!"

Later heard screaming in severe pain,

Instantly crowd-

To east yells charges the area or where ever to get closer to the building we are all in, blinds shut.

Night of Insanity begins.

Violence, Torture, fire, baseball bats, animals able to speak in english revealed for the first time, all sorts of insane shit.

Sex, Money And Peace

Stages. We all go through them. But what's interesting, is that when we are in them, we more than likely think that they will last forever. They will not. At age 57, I am a completely different person than I was 5 years ago. In reality, than 5 months ago. But for the purposes of this article, I will simplify my thought process.

In my teens and early to mid 20's, like many of us, I was all about the party. I was kind of a good dude, but I was really all about the night life. Even when I gave up drinking at age 22, I just liked to be where the action was. I liked meeting people. I liked not knowing where the night was going to take me. Stage 1.

In my mid 20's and into my late 30's, I was all in on my career. While I still enjoyed the night life, I went though a lot of education {picking up 2 degrees}, and focused on building my professional reputation. And with the reputation came a lot of money. I really enjoyed the money. I traveled a lot. Dated a lot. But mostly, worked a lot. Chasing money in a way became my addiction. Stage 2.

In my 40's, I became obsessed with peace. I was always a spiritual cat, but then I got wifed up. The woman I married was on her own spiritual journey. She too, did not like complicated. We spent a lot of time in nature. We added a sanctuary to our house. We gave away lots of money to our favorite charities. We just wanted quiet. Stage 3.

I wonder what the next stage is going to be? I suspect that it will be a deeper level of where we are now. I believe if were lucky, we evolve into humans that sees more than ourselves. Maybe I'm wrong. But seeing my wife, friends and family evolve, levels me up. This stage of my life requires that I be on the right side of truth...always! And as I reflect back on the stages of the night life and money, they were not wasted. I enjoyed them very much. Some would probably say a little too much. But that is what I have learned along the way. I am either all in, locked in, or I am a ghost. I simply have no time for anything that goes against my peace. Sure, we can co-exist. I just won't participate.

The drinking, partying and sex, I did it well. The building a successful career, I did even better. So as I write these last chapters of this book {my life}, I want to do them the best. Not because of ego. But because I have lived through some very horrific days. And if I can enlighten or inspire even one person as they go through theirs, it would have all been worth it.

Top Albums of 2016: #5-1

Alright, the last post for a while, I imagine. The previous titles are all favorites, but these top 5 albums, the second i heard them, I knew they were special. Each one of these I’ve listened to maybe 20 times. Each addicting in its own way. if you only read one post, read this, and check out these albums. Can you guess the top ones? I may surprise you...

#5: Black Terry Cat - Xenia Rubinos

A newcomer to my ears, and holy crap what a find. Xenia is a force. The beats are so funk driven entwined with lyrics that range from spunky to profound to both. And the vocals. Oh man the vocals. This woman spins her voice as an instrument in such a brilliant way. Trying to describe her, it’s hard to not sound contradictory. Her music is some hybrid of some Lauryn Hill, some Esparanza Spalding, a dash of Winehouse and Dessa, and yet it is still so unique it’s unmistakably her.

youtube

Her music reeks of purpose. Being Afro-Caribbean, Xenia reaches out to several people and their different cultures. Whether the songs are light or pounding with heavy bass, they are thick in message. It’s rich. The bow on this entire package is that Xenia is full of surprises. keyboard and drums one song, followed by two basses the next? This album is stupendous and deserves more love. Your love. please indulge.

#4: We Got It From Here...Thank You 4 Your Service - A Tribe Called Quest

This is one of the greatest sins in music I’ve committed: I’ve never taken the time to listen to A Tribe Called Quest. Never against them or anything, just never sat down and chose to listen. But like many other stories I’ve told earlier in this list, I figured a new album is as good time to try as any. And....wow....simply put, this is my kind of rap. It took me a second, but I figured where the hook for me was. You see, my first easing into rap was through Adult Swim during the mid-2000′s. The bumps in between shows were always backed by these incredible beats. Eventually, I had to hear the whole song, not just the few seconds on cable. This east coast sound is really hard to top, and after doing some backtracking on Quest’s discography, it’s easy to see that the sound I’m so in love was definitely made possible by them.

youtube

The mixture of killer production and lyrics that match the rhythm consistently make for incredible songs. And while they’ve never been anything but amazing, the years and experience have helped Tribe Called Quest perfect their grasp. There are no real drags in the album as I can remember. Each is single worthy, and like all of the top 4, I knew the second I finished it, it was a 5 star album. Whether to reflect on our society or to simply have something to dance to, this album is absolute gold.

#3: A Sailor’s Guide to Earth - Sturgill Simpson

So yeah, I’ve evolved from teenage years of fighting country as a genre and learned that there is good. It was easy to find those slower, deeper folks, the classics, those that bordered on alternative folk/rock. But I’ve been craving some serious country. Something I want raise hell with as well as maybe drink away feelings to. And here comes Sturgill Simpson. I looked at the album because it looked like a typical Nordic theatrical metal cover. Someone told me it was country. I couldn’t believe it. I pushed play....and I listened to the single greatest country album I’ve ever heard.

youtube

Horns. Energy. Purpose. I haven’t heard this in any country in the past couple decades, and I genuinely wasn’t sure if I ever would. This album has super highs and dark lows, each graced by Sturgill’s voice which carries the perfect tone to put you exactly the mood he wants you to. The bold choices or keyboards, horns, sax, and funkiest bass sounds in country history are just good to deny his greatness. I looked up his history, to see how the country world accepted him, and found that he seems to be quite outcast, which is maybe why I love him. When ACM made the Merle Haggard award, Sturgill was quoted saying “ "If the ACM wants to actually celebrate the legacy and music of Merle Haggard, they should drop all the formulaic cannon fodder bullshit they've been pumping down rural America's throat for the last 30 years along with all the high school pageantry, meat parade award show bullshit and start dedicating their programs to more actual Country Music." There is hope for country. I doubt there was a point hope wasn’t existent, but with Sturgill, I’m sure we’ll see a lot more quality from the genre.

#2: Cut The Body Loose - Astronautalis

I’m a sucker for Astro. His music has this bizarre connection I can’t shake, and the more I listen, the more I relate to this crazy stranger. To this day his album “This is Our Science” is one of my favorites of all time. Its focus on the incredibly relatable struggles of being in your late twenties and the immersive music was hypnotizing. I knew “Cut the Body Loose” couldn’t do the same. And it didn’t. Not even close. It came at me with so much more. This album is as much a celebration of being a middle aged dude in a young man’s game to the nostalgia of his childhood, and It’s as beautiful and haunting as it is fun and thrilling. This album, like so many of his others, has a perfect range of pulse pounding tempos, to morose moments of reflection. And I found myself connecting to all of it. I’m not in my 30′s, I don’t know that Southern life, let alone a childhood there. Still, each story is presented so masterfully, I find it engrossing and have a hard time listening to one track without taking the whole album in.

youtube

This album hits on so many levels. It has Bassy party beats, punk tracks sticking it to all kinds, from Rick Ross to Kurt Cobain to Obama, Organs playing blues, a swing track, A GODDAMN THEREMIN, and ends with what I always picture to be an ironic soulful church hymn. It’s snide, angry, funny, punk, lively, macabre, and truly just so honest I can’t have anything but love for it. So many ideas are thrown at this album, and they all work because Astronautalis is one of the best in the business. One of the best albums of the decade, and while I may always be a “This is Our Science” guy, I’ll never not give this album the credit its due.

So what could be number one?

What could possibly surpass all these albums?

...

...if you know me...you knew it before you ever started reading this list...

#1: Blackstar - David Bowie

No surprises from me. No, the spot for best album of the year was pretty much solidified in the second week of the year. Where “The Next Day” was an honoring of the music stylings that had made Bowie great, this one was...transcendent. This album is everything Bowie, and for him to go out on this note...it’s something dark and magical. This is not just a simple goodbye or a fizzling out...this is a bombastic farewell made to haunt. Bowie’s masterful grip on the artsy and strange is in full swing, as his ten minute opener makes very clear. The finality in every song just sinks into me, especially with its prophecy fulfilled only days later. To say it is praised because of Bowie’s death is conflicting. Yes, this album is amazing because he’s gone, but that is the theme of this album. It’s an added level of beauty I wish wasn’t there. To witness a god of music shed his mortal coil is hard, but to be given a soundtrack to it is surreal.

youtube

Bowie has been a youngster, a dancer, a badass, and whatever else he decided to blend into. This final album, though, solidified that no matter what side of himself he changed into, he is always first and foremost a weirdo. Freak. The strangest of humans. “Blackstar” encapsulates this perfectly. The intro is operatic and dynamic, followed in an absurd catchy track based around sex and frustration. And of course, while other tracks do a splendid job of bidding adieu, the immortal song “Lazarus” will grip Bowie fans for the rest of our lives. All these songs twisted and welded together with deep bass notes, moaning guitar chords, and the saddest horns. Everything about this album is so final, so fatalistic. I’d give anything to make this album less meaningful, to be about impending death from a man with many years left in him. Hell, I’d give anything to destroy the entirety of 2016, but if we are stuck in a dark world where life is unfair, how blessed we are that people like Bowie can give us one last experience like this? So yeah, no competition, this was far too easy, but give it a listen, and if you’re half the Bowie fan I claim to be, I feel you’ll be able to relate.

I hope you enjoyed the list, and if you read this, I’m genuinely interested in your favorites of 2016. Thank you for your time, and take care.

#xenia rubinos #Black Terry Cat #tribe called quest #We've got it from here...thanks 4 your service #a sailor's guide to earth #sturgill simpson #astronautalis #Cut the body loose #David Bowie #Blackstar

Introducing my NES Collection

This was the first video game console I owned. It was bought for me by my parents, as most NES systems were for us thirty somethings. The box and all of that is unfortunately long gone. Currently, this dude is not working. It gets the flashing red light of death on every cart I put in, even after cleaning the cart with alcohol/windex and a cotton swab.

I did clean all of the pins inside the unit just as a quick try at fixing it, but I think it needs a thorough cleaning and some pin bending. This one is not in the greatest of shape, it does have some yellowing, and I’m not entirely thrilled with its condition. But it is sentimental, as it is the one I have had since day one, when the infatuation began.

A friend had one first, of course, since that is how most of us got into almost anything, “a friend was doing it”. I was hooked the second I ran Mario to the right and stomped my first Goomba.

The NES was released on October 18th, 1985. I don’t think my friend had one immediately, it was probably not until 1986 that I was introduced to it. I did not get one until probably a year or so later as a Christmas present. Possibly even over a year, I do remember there was quite a bit of asking that had to be done. So it could have been Christmas of 1986 or even as late as Christmas of 1987 before I actually got my own NES. From then on I got a game for Christmas or my birthday, or both, almost every year.

Over time I accumulated quite a few games, even having not bought an NES game since the 90′s I still have over 40 games in my collection. Almost all accumulated when I was a kid or teenager. After I hit my 20′s I don’t think I bought another NES game at all. Here they are as it stands right now:

As you can see, it’s nothing to sneeze at, I have a lot of really good games including Battletoads, Blaster Master, both Zelda games, the Mario trilogy, Super C, Metroid, a couple Mega Mans, and of course, the classic Tetris. But, there are obvious holes in this collection, where is the rest of the Mega Man series? Either of the Double Dragons? Any of the Ninja Gaidens? How can I be missing any of these? Well, I was just a kid when I was actively collecting games for this system, and at the end of the 90′s, Nintendo had released the SNES and the N64 in that time, so there were other platforms on the table. Both of which I was also buying for during this time, and they were more expensive. Id go buy one new N64 game with my budget instead of picking up 3 or 4 used NES games.

Thats what makes this blog so much fun though. Even as a kid I would still hit yard sales, I remember very vividly haggling a guy down from $10 to $8 on Jackal, and paying for it with my own money. Probably in the neighborhood of 1988 or 1989. Great buy that game. Hours of fun.

I also managed to get an Intellivision and an Atari 2600, with about 10 games for each at a yard sale only a few houses down from where we lived. I was probably 12 or 13 years old and picked up the entire lot for $5. Both systems worked, and my brother and I played for hours with Triple Action, Astrosmash and Breakout. While the NES was in the living room like “Uh... hello!? Hellooooo!?”. This was probably 1992 or 1993, and the Atari 2600 was released in 1977. So those games, at the time I purchased them, were not even as old as the games and systems I am looking for now. 15 years? The GameCube is about 16 years old at this point. Mind blowing.

I look forward to doing a lot more of that here.

Another great buy was NES Open Tournament Golf. This was released a month after the SNES. We bought a copy brand new, I think it was a christmas present that very year. I did not have a SNES yet. Little did I know how much time I would spend with my dad playing that game. To this day it holds a place in both of our hearts. In fact just a couple weeks ago we sat down and played on the Wii virtual console about a half dozen rounds together. It’s something we try to do almost every time we get together, even if its only for a half an hour. Great memories.

Wait, why is there a sticker on it if you bought it new you ask? I’ll tell you. Somewhere in the mid 90′s my dad and I had a bit of a marathon when we discovered that it saves your money. We wanted to get to $1,000,000. A few times we got interrupted in playing and just left the console on to come back to, rather than saving play and turning it off. Well, we ended up leaving it on for over a week straight, something had gotten placed in front of the power LED so it was not noticed. I think we went on vacation or something. It was on a purple screen when we came back to it. It would then not boot, but other games worked. We figured we cooked the cartridge. So, we purchased another copy used, and as you can see it was rather expensive. Even used and a good few years after it was released. I am guessing this may be somewhere around 1994 or 1995. The 689 sticker was probably an inventory sticker or something from the place we got it, there’s no decimal point. There is a price on the back.

Even today with the high prices some of these games are fetching, $21.00 is expensive for NES Open. eBay seems to have it going around $10 shipped. Which makes it around a $7 or $8 game, tops. Bummer.

We discovered later that the original copy did still work, so when I moved out, dad kept one, and so did I. Clearly, I’ve got the used one. Come to think of it he still has quite a few of my old games. Hmmmmmm... might have to ask him about that stuff. See what he still has.

I still wish I had spent a little bit more money on the NES games as they were “going out of style” in the mid to late 90′s. You could find anything at Electronics Boutique, just bins and bins of used NES games, most under $5! Some for even a dollar or two. But you pass them up because the label doesn’t catch your eye and there is no internet to tell you what is good like today.

So now I am filling in the gaps of the collection more than two decades out of date. It just so happens that it is right when everyone else had the same idea. Story of my life. Here I am thinking I’m being original, dusting off 10 to 30+ year old video games, and I’m at least 2 years too late to the party. YouTube channels that are four plus years old about game hunting, the older videos getting absolute steals on stuff you would probably hardly have a chance to find today, let alone get for $1. Stacks of GameCube games for $1 each, GameCube systems with games and multiple controllers for $10. GameCube controllers alone are $15+ these days. SNES lots with a system, controllers and like 15 games for $20. Incredible deals.

Now the pickings are slimmer, one of the YouTube channels I follow posted a recent video where a woman would NOT part out a Genesis system and some games that went with it. It had to be sold as the package and she had it priced at $65 or something. She said something along the lines of “I looked it up online, that’s what they go for”.

Little rant here. This is the problem with game hunting now, and may be an issue as I try to rebuild my collection. Lots of people know what eBay is, check their stuff and for whatever reason, want that price. It may be a lack of understanding on how eBay works, most likely they’ve never sold on eBay before. They don’t realize that the Genesis on eBay is very clean and is listed “Tested and working”, with a 30 day return policy, and all of this plays on the price. You are not on eBay, you are selling this out of a box on the floor of your garage at a yard sale, you are not paying eBay fees to list, you are not paying PayPal fees to get payment, you are not shipping anything, and if this doesn’t work when I get home I can’t bring it back to you. $65 on eBay does not mean $65 at a yard sale. See where it says Free Shipping in the listing? Of course not, you just see the price number. The seller on eBay MIGHT walk away from the $65 sale with $40 - $45 or so after all fees and shipping are finished. A $40 bill for the same lot MIGHT get some attention at the same yard sale. I mean, people can charge whatever they want, I can’t tell people what to ask for their stuff, it is their stuff. But if you were really trying to sell it, it would be priced accordingly. $65 for a Genesis and a few games will still be sitting in that box when the yard sale is over. $25 or $30 for the same Genesis and games, now you have my attention.

Ok, rant over. It wasn’t so little. Sorry.

Despite all of the above rant, I am convinced there are still some good deals to be had out there. I like to think there are still some people willing to sell stuff at true yard sale prices, just to be rid of it, like the purpose of a yard sale. This is a tall order, but it can be done, and I’m going to try. It will all be laid out here for you to read about.

Next post - The SNES Collection, and maybe less ranting. Maybe.

No pickups yet, total stays at $83.09

Lovecraft Country Ends with a Bang!

The season finale has found an audience — a very loyal audience. With creative, action-packed storytelling and a fantastic cast, how could it not? The socially-minded sci-fi horror fantasy netted a series high of 1.5 million viewers on Sunday night.

The season finale of the freshman series hit viewership highs on both linear and digital with 881,000 viewers tuning into the 9pm telecast which was 16% up from the series debut. On the digital side, there was almost a 90% increase from the season premiere.

On HBO Max, more subscribers viewed the finale of Lovecraft Country in its first day of availability than any other new episode of an original series on the streaming platform to date. On top of all that, Lovecraft Country has taken the #1 spot on HBO Max when it comes to original series. The first episode is currently approaching a staggering 10 million viewers.

Netflix Falls Short

Netflix fell short of its own guidance for earnings per share and subscriber growth in the third quarter,

Global subscribers totaled 195.15 million by September 30, up from 192.95 million as of June 30. The company had predicted it would add 2.5 million new subscribers, so the growth of 2.2 million was well short and the smallest of any quarter in years after a spectacular surge earlier this year amid COVID-19.

Competition, of course, has ramped up significantly in subscription streaming with Apple, Disney, WarnerMedia and NBCUniversal having joined the fray over the past year. Netflix said it was “thrilled” to be competing with so many rivals and noted Disney’s recent corporate reorg as a sign of how central streaming will be in the years to come. Of course, comparisons are very inexact given that Netflix is a pure-play streamer and its rivals have other businesses to look after, including legacy ones that throw off cash but are in decline.

Is it the competition, is it the quality of content, is it the ending of isolation and Covid quarantining? is Netflix headed for a dive now that all networks and stations have caught up with them? What is going to keep them on the monthly billfold? What are they going to do to make their $9.99 or $12.99 monthly charge worth it? Netflix has been cancelling series left and right maybe trying to lighten the load. Maybe their boat is too heavy – or maybe they are saving up capital for a bigger bolder move to help them compete with Disney+ and Peacock and HBO MAX.

One thing is for sure – these streaming platforms are a here to stay – and once this pandemic is over – who is going to earn the people’s trust, respect and money? It is great to see what you want, when you want it – and I don’t think in this digital age that streaming services are going to die out at all – but I do know that one service will try and become king and wipe out the rest.

Question is – who?

Disney is Dealt a Blow

On Monday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom teased the release of reopening rules for theme parks in the state, saying cryptically, “We are going to break up the theme parks…Not just one or two brands, it is many different parts of the theme park industry.”

California’s director of Health and Human Services Dr. Mark Ghaly said Tuesday that smaller theme parks can resume operations in the state’s Orange Tier. Capacity will be limited to 25% or 500 visitors, whichever is fewer. Only outdoor attractions may reopen and only to guests who are residents of the same county.

All theme parks — which includes Disneyland in Anaheim and Universal Studios Hollywood — may resume operations in Tier 4, Yellow, which is much further down the road. At that point, the guest limit is 25% across the board and indoor dining establishments can only operate at 25% capacity.

The announcement drew a swift, negative reaction from executives at Disneyland, Universal Studios Hollywood, Legoland and others.

Masks must be worn in all parks at all times, except when visitors are eating or drinking. Reservations will be required for all parks, with temperature checks at the gate.

Orange County, where Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm are, is currently in the Red Tier. Los Angeles, home to Universal Studios, is in the most restrictive tier, Purple.

Under the Red tier: movie theaters and cultural ceremonies can open to 25% capacity or 100 people, whichever is fewer; gyms can open indoors to 10% capacity; childcare, drive-in theaters, family entertainment centers and hotels can open with modifications. Concert venues and live theater and festivals are still prohibited to operate.

Under the Orange tier: movie theaters and restaurants can open to 50% capacity or 200 people, whichever is fewer; bars, nail salons, childcare facilities, church services, day camps, doctors, family entertainment centers, gyms can open with modifications. Concert venues and live theater and festivals are still prohibited to operate.

Covid Stops Aretha

Three weeks after resuming production, filming on National Geographic’s Genius: Aretha came to a halt today after a background actor tested positive for COVID-19, sources said. I hear production was suspended for the day. It is unclear at the moment how long the shutdown will last; such decisions are often made day by day. Genius studio Touchstone Television declined comment.

Genius: Aretha, about the legendary singer Aretha Franklin, had filmed 5 1/2 episodes of its eight-episode order when production shut down mid-March amid the escalating coronavirus outbreak. Two weeks later, Nat Geo delayed the premiere of the limited series, originally slated for May 25, for “later this year.” An early 2021 debut is now considered a possibility.

Everyone can’t wait to see a project on Aretha – a feature film is set to come out, this mini series is about to come out – granted the woman was a legendary singer who covered all genres, even operas, with ease, but was her life that interesting? I know I’d love to see it, just to see the changes in the world and in music throughout her legendary career. Much like Ray.

Everybody Loves Raymond Reunion

The cast of the classic CBS sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond will reunite for the first time since the show ended in 2005 to honor their late costar Peter Boyle and raise money to battle the disease that ended his life.

Ray Romano, Patricia Heaton, Brad Garrett, Monica Horan and Raymond creator and Executive Producer Phil Rosenthal will participate in a 90-minute event that will include table readings of popular scenes from the series. (Costar Doris Roberts died in 2016.) Set for this Friday, October 23, at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT., the event will benefit the Peter Boyle Research Fund of The International Myeloma Foundation.

No Peter Boyle, no Doris Roberts, this show might not be as joyous as we think. Doing it for a great cause, but without the two parents who basically were the whole show – these table readings could be flat as a pancake.

Jeff Bridges Has Lymphoma

The sweet and beloved Jeff Bridges has been diagnosed with lymphoma. The Dude himself confirmed his illness on Twitter on Monday afternoon.

“As the Dude would say.. New S**T has come to light. I have been diagnosed with Lymphoma. Although it is a serious disease, I feel fortunate that I have a great team of doctors and the prognosis is good,” he shared. “I’m starting treatment and will keep you posted on my recovery.

Bridges, 70, wrote in a follow-up tweet that he’s received support from friends and family. The Big Lebowski star also urged his social media followers to vote in the upcoming election.

Lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system. An estimated 8,480 people are diagnosed annually.

A big week to be sure, kids. You can catch me here every Thursday on PlaceToBeNation.com. Thanks for reading!

Daily Driving a Lamborghini Huracan for 24 hours - My Experience via /r/cars

Daily Driving a Lamborghini Huracan for 24 hours - My Experience

First off, this is, of course, a play-on-words to this thread regarding daily driving a Honda S2000 for a year. It's a cool thread by /u/dashboardforfire. Give it a read and an upvote if you haven't already. I owned a couple of S2000's in the past, and I truly do miss them.

Secondly, this thread isn't shit without pics. Here's a picture of the Huracan next to my 86.

Back Story

A friend of mine owns a 2016 Lamborghini Huracan LP610-4. I jokingly told him that he should let me borrow the car. Unbeknownst to me, he decided to make my joke of a dream into a reality. He brought the car for me to borrow last Wednesday, Aug 21, 2019. He told me he would let me drive it for a full 24 hours as long as I promised to follow these rules:

No eating in the car

No drinks in the car, except water bottles

Do not use Corsa mode; Strada or Sport only

Do not let anyone else drive the vehicle. Having passengers is okay, but only I am allowed to drive it.

No racing

All these rules were simple to follow, and I even took it one step further by telling him exactly where the car was going, how long it would be at certain locations, and how many total miles I was putting on it. I think he trusted me enough that the first couple of texts I sent him saying, "Hey, I'm taking the car to (location)," he responded and said, "You don't have to tell me. It's fine, brother."

Truly, he's got to be the coolest guy in the world. I own a base model Toyota 86 and I won't even let my own brother drive it. My friend has known me for about 2 months and decided he trusted me enough to let me use it for 24 hours with no conditions set on total miles driven. What a guy!

The Experience

Jesus. Fucking. Christ.

You ever felt like a celebrity driving a car? Have you ever made a stop somewhere and started feeling like you needed a security team to be the assholes for you so people will stop approaching you and taking pictures of "your" car? It's a surreal experience driving a Lamborghini, especially outside of the wealthier, greater West Los Angeles/Hollywood area.

The Lambo Huracan LP610-4 does 0-60 in the low- to mid-3 secs. I doubt I did 0-60 mph pulls in the claimed times that professional testers do, but I felt like I was doing 0-60 in the blink of an eye. This car begs to be pushed.

My friend's Lambo gets driven a lot more than the average Lambo. Here is a pic of the gauge cluster showing 33,432 miles on it hours before I returned the car. I believe I returned it with 33,457 miles. I borrowed the Huracan with exactly 33,350 miles. I put 107 miles on it total, just driving it around my town for a day. When I returned it, I apologized profusely, telling him that I was trying to keep it under 50 miles total, but he told me to "stop worrying. You got to enjoy your dream car. I'm happy for you." What a guy (x2)!

Everywhere I took this car, it was a show stopper. When I picked up my daughter in the Huracan, the traffic was ridiculous. People were literally stopped at green light signals just to take pics of the car. Kids were running up to me and yelling about how amazing the car is.

My friend told me to just tell anyone who asks that it's my car. I felt uncomfortable lying like that, but I honestly believe I convinced a group of kids to focus in school. I told them, "One day, your education will lead you to be able to afford a nice car, whether a Lamborghini, Ferrari, or something completely different, and it'll all be because you applied yourselves in school."

Attention from the Opposite Sex

I was approached by three different women on three different occasions.

The first woman approached me when I was with my friend (owner of the Lambo) and refilling the gas tank. She asked, "What do you do for a living?" I said, "I'm a professional millionaire." 😂 My friend couldn't stop laughing. I'm sure she got the hint because she just responded with, "Oh, good luck with that" and left.

Another woman approached me when I took my sister for a short drive to a local mall. My sister went inside a store. I didn't think anyone saw me get out of the Lambo. This lady flirted with me for a bit, telling me she thinks I look "good" in my #24 Kobe Bryant jersey. When I wasn't flirting back, she asked, "Are you single?" I said, "No, I'm not." She stormed off. When my sister and I were walking back to the Lambo, I saw this woman standing next to her Tesla X. She smiled and waved. I nodded, got in the car and left.

The last one was an (I assume single) mom outside my daughter's school. She actually walked over as my daughter and I were crossing the street to the Huracan. She had her little son with her. She asked me, "I know this will sound weird but are you single?" I said, "No, I'm happily married." She did an embarrassed laugh and said, "Well, if you're ever in the market, I'm looking." 🙄 Way to show your colors, gold digger. You know those thoughts you have after something happens, where you think to yourself, I should've said this? I had plenty of those. I should've called her out, but I didn't. I left it alone. I've seen her at the school every day since then. She smiled at me once, but I ignored her. She hasn't looked at me since.

Attention from the Same-Sex

I didn't notice.

Men will pull up next to you at lights or at high speeds on the highway to take pictures, but no male approached me on his own when the car was parked somewhere. I'm okay with that.

Edit to add: I did get challenged to a race by a Maserti Ghibili and a BMW i8 within minutes of each other. I just shook my head and turned onto a side street to avoid them.

Fuel Economy

First, here's another picture of the beautiful Huracan outside another friend's house

Anyway, big oof. My friend put 10 gallons of gas in the car. I continuously offered to pay for gas myself, but he said there was no need. What a guy (x3)! The fuel gauge shows 0%, 50%, 100%. When I drove the car away, it was just a little bit shy of 100%. After 107 miles of driving, the fuel gauge was well below 50%. I can honestly say that other than about five 0-60+ pulls on open roads, I drove the car pretty conservatively in Strada mode. I can't imagine daily driving a car that averages such horrendous fuel economy; however, when you have the money to afford a Lamborghini Huracan, fuel efficiency should be the least of your concerns.

Driveability

I'm in my late 20's. The owner of the car is approaching his mid-30's. He told me that I would probably get frustrated with the seating position, getting in/out of the car, and the lack of space. Before anybody assumes he must be an overweight individual, he's not. Dude is in much better shape than me. I believed him at first, but after driving the car for a while, I can say the Huracan is surprisingly comfortable for such a high-performance car.

The transmission shifts ridiculously quick. I have owned nothing but manual transmissions. I initially thought to myself, This car would be so much more fun to drive with a true stick shift. Nope. The space in the footwell is too cramped. My left foot got numb multiple times because there was no angle to put my foot in that was comfortable. With a 3rd pedal, I would have to have my left foot floating over the clutch every time. Even in fully automatic mode, the car seems to know when to upshift and when to downshift. In Sport mode, the car downshifts like a champ. It seems like the Huracan knows, "Okay, time to downshift around this big crowd."

The blind spots in this car are a bit ridiculous. The rearview mirror is tiny. The side mirrors can't be adjusted in any way that allows you to see your blind spots well enough. I learned from the driving school I attended in my teens that setting the side view mirrors out far enough allows you to see your blind spots better. It feels impossible with the Huracan. The only thing I liked was that you feel like you know exactly where the front bumper ends. I sat high enough where I didn't feel like the hood was blinding me from seeing how close I was to the edge of a parking spot.

Final Thoughts

After driving the Huracan for a day, I can't help but think that I want a similar car. I love sports cars in general, but not all sports cars are built the same. Lamborghini's are cars that are built not only for performance but also to make you look like a celebrity.

My friend says he'll let me borrow the car again soon. What's soon? I don't know and I don't care, just as long as I get to drive it again. It's an amazing car. If you never get to drive one, just know that you are lucky. It's hard to drive a Lamborghini and then move back to a "regular" car.

Will it be cheaper to pay the $1000 fine for not having insurance then to purchase insurance?

There is no incentive to buy insurance...just a whip if you don't. Maybe a small example; Dude and his girlfriend, who voted for Obama, are a young couple living in an apartment. They own an old car that they are always trying to keep running and Dude has bounced off of a couple of jobs while his girlfriend is looking for a part-time that she can hold on to. They can't afford the payments on a new car or health insurance. Dude gets a new job but time is running out. It's coming up on tax return time and they NEED that f'n money! But it's too late...they are going to lose the whole tax return to fines now and will owe more for the fines than the tax returns were going to be anyway...so they buy insurance and wonder how they are going to pay the rent, much less eat.""

Mustang GT Insurance?

I am now 15 and 9 months and when i turn 16 and 9 months around May next year i would like to get a new 2015 Mustang GT for 32k. There is a problem. My mom is worried about how much she will have to pay for insurance so i would like to get an estimate from you guys before asking her to call the insurance company. By the way we are from Poland( I am first generation born in New York Brooklyn now in Maryland). I was thinking maybe she could just tell the insurance company she is buying a second car for herself to maybe keep the insurance company from knowing its for a 16 year old they wont be able to trust.(Even though i have been driving my Mom's Camry for a few years now and am beyond responsible enough.) I was hoping below a 100$/month? (P.S. She is very responsible and had never been in an accident caused by her fault so her insurance company trusts her and i believe she is with Erie Insurance now after she switched from Geico who were overcharging her for the house coverage i believe...)

Auto insurance wrong information!!?

Relatively, I am a new resident in the USA, I have been here for 18 months only, and I am trying to get a car insurance. The problem is the insurance companies give a huge discount for those who got licensed in the USA or Canada at age 16, but they do not consider other countries. For this reason I have to pay a ridiculous amount of money to get the state minimum requirements for auto insurance. In fact I have been licensed in my country since 1998.. I wonder what's the influence if I choose to answer yes when the insurance company agent asks me whether I got licensed at age 16 or not in the USA or Canada? Because technically I am already licensed at that age but not here!!""

Would my current insurance company find out if I got a second policy and cause me to have to reevaluate our current policy (which is the main thing I'm trying to avoid).

How auto insurance determine how much your car worth after claim?

I had a 1998 Subaru Forester S sport utility 132,000 miles and it was totaled. I read some places and people say that insurance don't follow the Kelley blue book and some say they do. Others say they go by autotrader.com or nada.com. Why is that? are they trying to trick us by which value is lower? My insurance offered me only $3200 but it know it worth more than that. Vehix.com say it value at 3900 and kelly blue book say about 4300 so which is right?""

2010 Ford Fusion vs 2011 Hyundai Sonata?

I recently went in resolved to buy a 2011 Sonata at $26, 000 but then I saw at a Ford dealer that the Fusion was $16, 500 on sale from $19,000. I'm conflicted because paying $10,000 more for a Hyundai means I get more features like leather, seat heating, sun roof, more sleek sporty style, etc. But then I can't completely negate the fact that the Ford is so cheap. Which would you pick and why?""

Sports car insurance... Wil it be cheaper if...?

Well im 18 years old and still live with my rentz. I have a job and i make 1400-1600$ a month. I have only a few minor bills. Here in about 3 weeks im buying a 1996 pontiac firebird v6 coupe from a dealership. Before i buy the car i need some insurance info. Iv been to over 10 of the leading insurance companies and gotten rate quotes and there all 400$+ a month.. This is suprising because i only payed 120$ a month for my old car ( f150). So im wondering if my insurance will go down if my parents add me and my car to there insurance? If so how would i go about this? And how much of a price difference would it be? All answers are appriciated.. **No Spam Please**
