Word is Ryan and girlfriend Jessica Joffe, she who was credited as catalyst for Ry's sobriety in that lengthy NYT piece last year, are over. And wouldn't you know it, he's handling things a little dramatically! And using the internet as a means for his public displays of contrition.
Things got started when someone calling himself Romantic Danzig sent Gawker a poem entitled "poem for Jessica Joffe because she blocked my email," but since that wasn't sufficiently personal (read: traceable) now he's using that YouTube account we checked the other day to post the more succinctly titled piece called "Jessica." It's a freshly minted jangler about how he "ain't no good," the tune set to a map of the West Village (framed within a heart), a scrolling lover's poem, a picture of Jessica gradually zoomed in upon until creepily pixelated, and a slow close-up of the letters "S-O-R-R-Y" written on a handful of white M&Ms (or, pills). What guilt trip?
