Charlie Puth

Writer's picture: VioletViolet

Thinking of Charlie Puth. What is he up to? What are his days like? Does he spend his waking moments navigating tumultuous thoughts and memories from his glory days?


I remember reading about his eyebrow. That story and one my dad once told me about ripping his toughskins jeans (did this happen?) solidified potential rabid dogs as a real threat in my mind.


I’ve recently realized some people delude themselves into thinking they are the beginnings of some international trend, like sambas or superstars. Does Charlie think this about the eyebrow slit? How many young teens actually did pick up the razor to follow in his footsteps?


Upon looking it up, I discovered Puth has a pretty busy schedule these days. “The Charlie Tour” is happening throughout this and next year. I always knew I was saving my money for something!


The other night at the piers, I was given the gift of hearing Yung Blud perform across the waters. It made me think, what are the average Yung Blud fans like? Right now, I have similar questions.


A feature they should integrate into the Spotify app is a section of an artist's profile that's a tell-all of sorts of an average fan. How old are they? What do they wear? How do they do their makeup? What is their relationship with their parents? Kind of like those 2018 Instagram starter pack templates. Do they like Stefan or Damon better?


You know, Spotify doesn’t know what they’re missing from me. Since they’ve ignored my idea suggestions in the past, I’ll impart my wisdom to you all. The Spotify app should tell you what you were listening to a year ago today, like the photos app or Snap memories. Maybe this is violating some privacy concerns, but I also think they should have suggested flashback playlists like “your trip to XYZ,” just like Apple's featured slideshows.


To revisit the previous topic, are Charlie Puth and Sam Smith friends or enemies? They hold a similar place in my mind. Do you think there’s some sort of unspoken competition there? Alternatively, maybe it’s a public feud in the industry, like Elon Musk and Zuckerberg.


Speaking of Sam Smith (S.S.), does anyone have the initials SOS? If so, do you think sometimes, when they sign documents, they inadvertently concern any future readers? Just like the song about the 911 call where the lady pretends to be ordering a pizza. If I sign SOS on my medical forms, will the nurses think something is happening behind the curtain? (Get it - because of the hospital curtains. And because that’s a saying. Wow).



Off-topic, but speaking of concerning medical situations, I saw this tattoo on Instagram today. If I were a parent and my child got this permanently etched on their body, I would break down on the floor. Tears would flood my face as I struggled to verbalize my feelings. Raising a child with absolutely no taste is a fear of mine. What is the meaning, too? The design feels more like an ad for an adoption agency than one you would want on your body.


I went to the comments hoping to find hate comments, but unfortunately, most people seemed to be fans. I put this off at first to be the initial creator deleting negativity. Weirdly, enough comments critiqued the line work on the mother's shoulders to have it be fully censored. Sure, she did look like a linebacker, but what about critiques on the idea overall??


But life is all about meeting a variety of people with different ideas and preferences than your own.

Ps. Thinking a lot about flashbacks today, so I thought I would include an artistic POV of this one. Artistic because I am an artist of words. Much like Tom Sawyer, I’m sure, although I’ve never read the book.


April 4th, 2017. April. The fourth month of the year. Month. A collection of thirty days. Or thirty-one. Or twenty-eight if it’s February. Or twenty-nine if it’s February and a leap year. Gregorian calendar. April 4th. Fourth. Fourth day fourth month. Is there something there?


What happened? Kendall Jenner Pepsi ad. What didn’t happen? May the 4th be with you. That’s a month later. Month. 2017. 2, 0, 1, 7. What happens when you subtract 2 and 1 from 7? 4. 4/4/4. 444, meaning a sign of love and wholeness. Kendall created love and wholeness, stopping police brutality with one soda can. She United the sides. United States of America. America. North America South America. American Eagle. Eagle. Eagle. Call of the Eagle. Who’s calling? The eagle. Eagles. Eagles v chiefs. Football. Patriots. America? What’s more American than Pepsi? Coke. Coke?
