is this worth writing about?

probably not but i find convoluted anecdotes interesting, at least in telling.so here goes. one day in 2005 i was at the dunkin donuts on the boston post road in new rochelle, the one next to the car wash, waiting in line for a medium coffee and an old-fashioned donut w/ my good friend stephen.the two of us had exhausted whatever covnersation we were capable of mustering on the car ride over, so we were both idling silently as a trio of punk rockers were ordering.there was a cute girl w/ them, directly in front of me,w/ a tight black jacket that had the lyrics (i assumed) to a song she like pinned onto the back. they were in courier (new?) font and read "let's set our hearts at self-destruct".i was intrigued by this most emo of invitations and made a mental note to google that lyric and see where it lead me.
later on that day i did just that, and came across these words of inspiration:
The Bled: You Know Who's Seatbelt

"The signal flares will light the way to the scene of the accident, where
we'll dance like a pile of teeth in a broken mouth. Such a sick celebration.
Everyone loves a fucking tragedy in epic proportions. Lets set our hearts at
self-destruct. Like scarlet drips on a white tile floor. A cardiac
metronome. We'll scrape the guardrail from our teeth and start again.
There's a flood in the infirmary where we'll swim through broken glass. Our
prosthetic limbs will keep us afloat. Lets set our hearts at self-destruct."

According to wikipedia, The Bled are a "post-hardcore" band from arizona.With my curiosity still sharp i then hopped on to the ol' myspace to get a taste of what they sounded like. I found them to have somewhat of a more screamo sound than i am accustomed to, but it wasn't without its charm.
anyway so as i was tooling around on the band's myspace page and i noticed that one of their top 8 or 16 or whatever was wearing a very colorful ski jacket on w/o any pants (yes, it was a dude).i couldn't believe that tom from myspace would have let such a lewd image defy the propriety of his social networking site, so i clicked this pic to get to the bottom of this.

believe you me lulz ensued on my side of the internet portal.
but-
what was more was that on this lad's profile, under his "who i'd like to meet" he declared "whoever drew this:"
Post Script
i was so impressed w/ this fella's page that i bookmarked it, in the interests of cherry-picking whatever lulz-y jpeg's he might have in the future.it wasn't long before i was rewarded with this replacement for uncle phil & the fresh prince.

That was both interesting and kind of gross. That cartoon was wrong. So wrong.
