Basic Paper Airplane #7
Zine, Joshua James Amberson, Antiquated Future, P.O. Box 42081, Portland, Or, 97292, antiquatedfuture.com, $2 USD (+$1 shipping)
Joshua James Anderson, a Portland-based writer, describes his zine perfectly in the first two sentences: “about not having it all figured out. And being old enough that most people don’t think that’s interesting.”
The author clings to the innocence and simplicity of youth and seems to em- brace it as a lifestyle. In the “The Post” he addresses how some people don’t know what zines are or how to pronounce them and how cute that is. So, that was something. It’s actually slightly mind- boggling how naïve he comes across. He talks about how his friends are doing “grown up” things like getting married and how his path, his clear desire for bohemia is not superior, but also not inferior. Which makes him neither better or worse, just feeling apathetic. He is okay with his success (or lack thereof) by his own standards of success, so he is good in his own books, everyone.
Type-written and cut and pasted with William Blake-like imagery, the zine looks decent and reads easy. It also has solid one-liners like, “Here is a parade. (there it goes)”. The conciseness is actu- ally really appropriate. However, there is something exhausting about latent self- discovery. If this zine were a movie, it’d be a romantic comedy starring Hugh Grant.

Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea shell and
gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.”
She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a
hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to
go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic
but I had to tell someone!
I seriously love your blog.. Great colors & theme. Did you create this website yourself?

own personal website and want to learn where you got this from or just what the theme is named.

Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The
words in your article seem to be running off the screen in Firefox.
I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something
to do with web browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know.
The layout look great though! Hope you get the issue fixed soon. Kudos
I have been surfing online more than three hours today,
yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty
worth enough for me. Personally, if all website owners and bloggers made
good content as you did, the internet will be a lot more useful than ever before.
