You Rewind This

Sliding This Into The Amazing Category

Les Belles

I just realized that one of my blog's labels on the left side of this page says "fantasy."

If you click on the "fantasy" label, it takes you to a picture of a naked dude with his head in his ass.

This is admittedly pretty god awful yes. And thus, I would like to offer a retroactive "no homo" clause. Or a "pause" clause if you so prefer.

Communication

We are inundated with so much damn communication with everyone around us these days. Twitter. Facebook. Myspace. Text Messages. BBM. Blogs. Email. Gchat. AIM. Even if you don't use any of these modes, you still know they are out there, swarming around you.

All of this makes you forget how it used to be. The days where your only option was to call someone in order to talk to them. You literally just forget. Like I only vaguely recall those days, and they were only happening in the late 90s.

What's next? And, can we ever go back to the way it used to be? Not to say that I would want that, but would it even be possible? What is more personal and extrovertedly invasive than Twitter?? Can it get any worse? Are some of us (all of us?) going to be walking around all day long with cameras in front of our faces in 5-10 years?

Don't get me wrong, all of this technology is very exciting. But it is also very scary because you become dependent on it. When my iPhone runs out of batteries (because of my prolonged use all day), I get pissed off. If I do not have an electronic portal to the outside world at my fingertips, I am affected in a negative way. And I am sure you are too, whatever aforementioned mode you are addicted to.

What's also scary is the up-and-coming generation. My peers and I still remember the days where you had to scrounge around for a quarter to use the payphone. What are the current youths going to remember in 10 years time, debating which of their friends tweet to retweet or perhaps jailbreaking their phone to get even more crazy apps?

Maybe there will just be some sort of a colossal non-violent crash in a couple of years. When all the networks give out because of the over use. Oh wait, that happens every day if you are an AT&T user.

I guess what I am getting at is that it is useful to take the time to stop and reflect on how far technology has come, even in the past 5 years. Then, blog about it.

Look Alikes: Harry Martin from "My 9 News" & Conan O'Brien

From The I-F-ing-Hate-This Dept.

Well that was quick...

I really fucking hate this song:

Owl City - Fireflies
Uploaded by UniversalMusicGroup. - See the latest featured music videos.

It sounds like a 7 year old kid with a stuffed nose found his parents mic. Plus, it's a song about freaking fireflies. Some really deep quotes:

"'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs from ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance"

"To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell"

"A sock hop beneath my bed"

Ugh.


UPDATE:
I also really fucking hate this video.

No for November

I didn't post anything in November.

Womp.

My blog game is one big fail. Sorry to any readers out there.

But I shall return. With more Look Alikes and random thoughts and Yankee nostalgia.

Till then...
