Hello, MySpace. It’s been a long time. Shall I prattle on endlessly about my life? You’d like that wouldn’t you?
Pet Peeve of the Day:
Mall Goths. You know the type: faggy teenagers who listen to shitty music they claim is "alternative". They wear dark colors and hang around Hot Topic scrounging for any Nightmare Before Christmas and other Tim Burton movie memorabilia that they can waste their parents’ money on. Slavishly following whatever zeitgeist they’re fed while mocking the equally faggy Hollister kids who may be just as pretentious, but at least they’re honest about it.
Headline of the Day:
A teenager with a treatable form of diabetes dies after her parents opt to eschew traditional medicine for "the healing power of prayer". I don’t need to make a witty commentary. This speaks for itself. Is it a sign from God? (Okay, just the one witty comment.)
Daily Insight:
It’d be nice if the only thing that factored into the popularity of an artist was their music but that isn’t so. Their look, their age, and their race are all factors. And watch out for race, that’s a big one. Whenever a white suburban kid (no offense) tells you, "Oh I can’t stand rap music. Except maybe Eminem/Gym Class/Fort Minor" keep in mind it has nothing to do with the music!
Word of Advice:
Don’t listen to Black Sabbath during "The Bible as Literature" class, because despite the fact that you may think you’re being ironic not everyone has your acquired sense of humor. At which point you have to explain the joke and it becomes completely un-funny.
The part where I force you to listen to music I like:
Flobots. Check ’em out. Or not. Your loss. (I suggest "Handlebars")
