| Very Funny, Universe - August 31, 2008 |
I must concede to a simple truth both of you have known for a while now. I'm an idiot. Seriously. I find myself liking this song I've been hearing lately that is utterly and obviously GAY. But that's not the sad part, because let's face it...I love Hannah Montana. No, this ....this is embarrassing to admit to myself because of who it is, and how much I enmity I had for this particular individual not a year ago. You see, this singer has a very familiar name...and I found myself wondering just where I had heard it before. Well, I saved all my posts from my MoPH typepad account, and I came upon one a particular post where I tore this very same singer a new asshole in my "Songs i HATE, Volume Something or Other". His name is Mika, and he's undeniably homosexual...and this is reflected in his queer-ass music, but I've been listening to his album. And until I came upon that one song that i DETEST because my grocery chain played it the fuck out last year, I honestly really liked his cd. It was fun, unrestrained cock-smoking jubilation, and I got into it!! So here I am, realizing that I'm now a hypocrite for enjoying the music of a performer I found atrocious not a year ago for a song I find myself loathing LESS because I realize I like him as an artist. You know, I think something similar will happen when I finally DIE. Yah, my life has been mostly shit...except for you two, calm down. But I've suffered a lot and I'd much rather be dead, and so anyway...I think that once I die, I'll totally shrug off all that misery and pain because I'll realize something that'll change my entire point of view. Like with this Mika guy, I truly hated him before and now I like him because I've exposed myself to more of his work. Maybe that's like with GOD, or whatever. I'm angry about my life now, but that's only because of my limited point of view......and when I die and realize..whatever, that I did it to myself, that I wanted everything I experienced for a particular reason....well then I'll just let go of all that animosity and ENJOY myself again!! ?> |
| Movie Theaters are so ANALOG - August 24, 2008 |
Why must the movie industry be so terribly old-fashioned? I understand the need for their presence, in that their location within most malls stimulates the economy and they provide a lot of jobs for highschool students, but let's face it....the world is changing, and the movie industry needs to catch up. More and more people, and by people I mean everyone EYE know that's under the age of 50, are using their computers to download films. Now, some may claim that this is illegal, but who cares about copyright laws when practicality is at stake! The convenience of getting movies on your computer and then burning them to a dvd and watching them on your big-screen flat-panel hdtv is so obviously attractive that I'm honestly quite baffled that more people in the movie business don't see the potential here for making a shit load of money. At ten dollars a ticket, gas-prices bordering on ridiculous, and don't even get me STARTED on concession stand prices.....is it any wonder that less and less people are going to the movies nowadays? Well, there's an easy way to get people back in the theaters.....bring the theaters to THEM! Simply have movies that are opening in theaters available to download to your HDTV at the same time. You could pause the film at any time, but you could only watch it once...and you'd have to pay double the price of a movie ticket for the luxury of watching it on your couch. But so what? The ability to watch theatrical releases from the comfort of your own home would be irresistible to the vast populace, regardless of the price. And this is actually within the realm of possibility, now that most movies are filmed digitally...meaning they'd transfer to your TV set without a loss of quality. So whattya say, Hollywood? You can still have theaters and all the gayness they entail, just GIVE US THE OPTION of choosing which way we want to enjoy your product. If you don't, we'll continue downloading them for free anyway so really, you're only hurting yourselves. Idiots! ?> |
The 2008 Olympic Ceremonies - August 12, 2008 |
I'm not a fan of sports whatsoever, and I'm even less of a fan of the Olympics. It exemplifies the unification of mind and body, and for what it's worth it does an admirable job of proving what mankind can accomplish if they throw themselves into physical self-improvement with full commitment. But like most sports, the Olympics simply bore me. Pushing one's capacities to the limit, and oftentimes to the point of exhaustion, seems rather pointless to me. Why expound so much energy for a mere competition against your peers? Honor, self-respect, fame? Excuse me while I yawn myself into a semi-catatonic trance. I truly feel these Olympic athletes are extraordinary individuals, but my belief is that they should be putting their vast potential and their discipline into endeavors more worthy of our collective time. Such as arts, the humanities, and helping the environment. And I can hear the argument being made that the Olympics IS an avenue of artistic expression, with the canvas being the human body. And of course one can propose that the Olympics is an undeniable humanitarian effort, as it unifies nations and promotes solidarity throughout the world. So I suppose my entire point has been rendered moot through my own admission, and I should probably move on. What I'm actually writing about is the ceremonies which kicked off the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. It was, without a doubt, one of the most awe-inspiring achievements I have ever seen. The choreography was stunning, and the scope of the entire event was second-to-none. The energy created by the performers, coupled with the powerful use of color and sound, was absolutely transcendent. JK Rowling described a similar ceremony before the Quidditch World Cup in her novel Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. But even with the limitless possibilities of magic at their disposal, no wizard could manage to pull off a spectacle as extraordinary as the 2008 Olympic Ceremonies. The majesty of this extravaganza was a testament to what human beings are capable of, given an impetus for a significant formal celebration. Truly, it was more beautiful than words can describe, and I HIGHLY recommend you download the HD version available on bitorrent sites such as piratebay or mininova. |

Forgotten - August 7, 2008 |
I haven't heard this song in years,
but then it suddenly occurred to me and so I decided to play it for you
two since you're the only ones that come here. It's a song I
created a long time ago, shortly after my half-brother Billy died.
I think I may have dedicated it to his memory, but I forgot.
At any rate, it reminds me of a different way of thinking and
it pains me to dwell on it because back then, when I wrote
this........it felt so much easier to switch perspectives at the drop
of a dime. Everything was so much easier, and thoughts and
ideas came to me so readily. Now it feels like I've been
thinking the same things for years, nothing new.....nothing profound,
and nothing beautiful. I'm apathetic about my present
mind-set, and what's worse....I don't seem to have the energy to change
it.
You know, as I do believe STONEHENGE told me, I think I need to leave Publix... While I certainly won't blame it for everything that's wrong with my life, it really does feel like it's holding me back creatively and spiritually. Whatever happens, once I dig my way out of debt...remind me that I have no love for that place and that I need to get the hell out of there? Seriously, Tina, Tracy....hit me over the head if you have to. But this time next year, if I'm not about to put in a two-week notice......come down here and punch me in the face? kthxbye.
