You got to admit. Its really fun living in todays times. You could live in your home,work in your home and have everything delivered to your doorstep-whether it be food,clothes,shamwows or even Christmas presents.
FUCK BLACK FRIDAY
But I remember the good old days-when you were outside and people had to leave a message and I did my homework on paper. Remember paper?
I do. And i remember books too. Books you had to go to the library for and schlep home.
And the phones bill was horrible!
I remember that.
DO you?
Do you remember when you celebs lives were kinda private and didn't go everywhere just to make fools of themselves by jumping on couches?
Let me break it down- Bella is your typical emo whiny ass punk teenager that lives in bumblefuck Washington because her mother kicked her out to marry some new dude. GREAT HUH? She goes to live with her clueless town sheriff of a father and then meets the handsomest boy in school- who just happens to be a vampire.
And of course he falls for her.
Gag gag gag.
(yeas seriously look how "happy" she looks)
If it weren’t for cute Jacob Black- the American Indian/ Werewolf, the books would be a total Mormon propaganda.
I mean Book 1 was ok. 2 was better. 3 was almost good---but 4!!! ARE YOU FOR REAL??
I’m gonna ruin it for you---after three books of this “doomed” love. Bella, surviving as the vessel of the child she is carrying for Edward(Mormon ideal),must be sacrificed and then becomes the uber mary sue she has been predisposed to come. Worse off-cute Jacob, who’s now full Wolf-imprints himself upon Rennesme the new cherub child from hell.
What’s imprinting? —its an involuntary response in which a werewolf finds his soul mate.
A BABY. THE GUY IMPRINTS HIMSELF UPON A BABY.
This is a whole mess of crap. And whats worse?
Teens are eating this up like no ones business.(I’ll write about this later)
Um what?
( Hot Topic sale?)
What happened to the Goths?
You know the kidd in the corner who were reading H.P Lovecraft listeing to Joy Division,Depeche Mode,The Cure,Tool or NIN?(seriously. I wanna rant about this later)
Instead they are listing to My Chemical Romance and reading this literary diarrhea.
Stephanie Meyer step away from the lab top and go back to the Learning Annex and learn how to write.
Better yet take a plane and go to England and sit there and listen to JK Rowling..
I cringe every time I hear these books being compare with the masterful literary works of the Harry Potter series. JK Rowling, abliet humble ,knows how to fucking write.
I dare say Stephanie Meyer is sitting somewhere (when not caring for her three kids) trolling fanfic.net and live journal for ideas for the next book.
Seriously ,whats next for Edwardeo and Belliet? They are already have had the oldest Vampire coven in the Volitiri come after them….
Bella has already fulfilled her duty as a woman and given Edward a child…
…wait wait…
How did a UNDEAD VAMPIRE impregnate an alive Human Teenager?
And why didn’t her father smack the shit out of her when she said she was getting married to Edward.
Am I the only one that thinks 18 yr olds SHOULD NOT get married LET ALONE have children.
Bella has a death wish from the moment she meets Edward…seriously. In the Second book “New moon” he even abandons her so that she can have a normal life.
INSTEAD she pines and mourns for him and goes so far as to attempt suicide.
WHAT KIND OF BS IS THIS.
MORMON BS THAT’S WHAT
She is basically all about her man.
You know I take that back- I think Anne Rice could teach Meyers a thing or two about
vampire writing and then she should see Josh Whedon about strong woman.
Buffy never needed anyone but herself.
Bella needs to stand up for herself.
Perhaps the next books should be about Bella traveling the world getting to know what it is to be a vampire and not a wife and mother. Because if she isn’t happy of know what she is capable of the whole marriage thing won’t work out.
I saw this t-shirt at Comic Con and it was truly fitting. If Josh Whedon wrote Twilight it would have been 7 words
edit: seriously what is this " " Its made me edit my blog like three times!
I became a teen when industrial hit in the 90’s and it was wonderful. Grunge and Industrial were canceling out all the 80’s power hair groups and each person accented themselves with personal style to match each personality. People wore flannel, ripped jeans, and baggy clothes not because it was stylish-but because it was cheap and easily available.
( I miss Kurt)
(and by him i mean Chris Noviselic's hair)
I had a pair of Green Doc Martens. I loved those shoes. I wore them out and just recently bought a red pair and they get me to every concert. It’s my signature.
(I have talked about them b4)
The new punk/Industrial/grunge fan paid direct homage to the punks that came before us in the early 80’s. They were dangerous. They lived in slums and squats. Fought in circle pits. Lived. Metal face, colored hair, sex. Drugs Drugs Drugs. Danger.
Sid & Nancy love.
They were feared.
But they are dead. All dead. All of them.
Tattoos are now mainstream. Punk/Rock has gone commercial.
Don’t believe me? Check out Ed Hardy- its mainstream high end rock gear that emulates the southern California rock scene.
NO NO NO
YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO SMILE..GAH!
The Hipsters COME from the SOCAL Rock scene. No one gets pain like the NY/Cleveland Rock crowds. NO ONE.
It’s the snow and the wind.
Coming from the New York rock scene, I call bullshit. You can’t bottle fame, brew glory or even put a stopper in death.
Even our cathedral was taken down: CBGB’s.
Its gone.
Ripped out of its home on the Bowery and taken to VEGAS for an attraction.
The place where the Ramones, Blondie and Patti Smyth got their starts-its gone.
But don’t despair. Go to Vegas. Take a look around fake NEW YORK and go to CBGB’s.
ITS NOT REAL.
The place I went to was dangerous. Overfilled with Goths, punks and evil doers who didn’t give a shit about a girl in a pit or the pee on the floor. Places where the bathroom was more dangerous then the dance floor. It was loud and crud.
That’s what Rock & Roll is SUPPOSED to be.
It’s a neck tattoo, dirty clothes, stale beer and a hot guitar.
But it’s gone now-replaced by the Jonas Brothers.
SO where have all the punks gone? The rebels?
Dead?
Do punks go to heaven? And is Jim Morrison there-cuz that’s where I want to be.
But you can’t get there by cutting yourself and crying for attention-emo punk. That’s not real. Reading twilight and emphasizing with BELLA is not Punk, Goth or even Rock and Roll. It’s a façade.
You have to get there by losing a few teeth, getting beaten in the pit, bar fight or two, making friends/making enemies. Living,roadtrips,loving.
Back in the van, lets go to Philly for a concert.
No money? Spare Change!
No Hotel? Parks and parking lots! Rest stops!
No food? Lets share!
Do me a favor kid-wash out your black hair, put away the eyeliner and step away from Seventeen.
That’s not Punk.
Do- get something old, something borrowed and something U and put that on. Accentuate with something cheap.
Ruffle up your hair
Listen to the Ramones or something Punk.
The Clash perhaps
And not just the hits, I mean the whole album.
LISTEN
Or the Smiths
Or Joy Division/New Order
And say FUCK YOU to the establishment
And GET THE FUCK OUT to the new whiny hipster culture.
Its been a long time since superheroes have gotten a show on prime time TV and for the past four years I have been trying so hard to keep all sense of respect for Heroes.
I watch it for Sylar.
Yes Sylar alias Gabriel Grey alias that dude who kills people and does something icky with their brains so he takes their powers.
I think he’s a compelling character that is wonderfully acted by the talented Zachary Quinto-who’s also nice to look at.
I have sat there through many a season rooting for Sylar-hoping he once and for all, kills that damn cheerleader.
Why would anyone root for this guy anyway? He’s a killer!
Well for one thing, besides the first season of heroes- the show has been pure shit. Characters have changed sides more then I change my underwear(and that’s A LOT),the plot is never coherent and what’s worse is that some of the acting is miserable.
For example- why is Ali Larter STILL on the show- she plays the exact same character but THREE times-as three different sisters.
Or Maya Herrera as portrayed by Dania Ramirez. This character was one of the fan’s most hated yet she was allowed to live and walk away and yet fan favorite Elle Bishop as played by Veronica Mars herself Kristen Bell, was given a gruesome and horrid death. Then there are characters that disappeared- Like Claude Raines or The Haitian.
Clearly the producers of Heroes don’t know wtf they are doing.
But back to Sylar.
So far they have brought us to the pint where we don’t know if he is good or bad. And now they have given him the ultimate lame ass ending--- Posing as Nathan “numb nuts” Petrelli. Oh and look who is back—Ali Larter as some lame ass character that is coping with her powers, yet again.
SO I have this question: DO the Heroes writes consist of a group of chimpanzees throwing darts?
Because it seems that all the plots are dated and/or recycled. Plot holes are the size of my Aunt Gertrude’s ass and characters are switching sides faster Mayor Bloomberg during an election year.
Please. Its neither compelling nor suspenseful television to allow a character to mope about some girl all season just to kill her off and then make him completely forget about her.
Matt Parkman-I’m looking at you.
Don't get me started on the BS that Hiro Nakamura has to go through. Why does he NOW get nosebleeds?HMMM? 4 yrs and nothing but NOW he gets to get an brain aneurysm
God damn it! What happened to this show?
Is Tim Kring in his basement wishing he were JJ Abrams thus forgetting to map out what the hell will happen on this show.
In my opinion- the only good character they have left is Sylar. People know he is bad and people don’t care.
People don’t even care about Peter Petrelli and how he talks like Rocky Balboa.
No one cares.
NBC. Do us a favor-cancel Heroes. It’ll be better if it were an online comic- maybe then it will gain its respect back, otherwise it’ll drag on for another season without guidance or viewers.
It all started several summers ago. I was sitting on my friends stoop in Cobble hill drinking Pabst Blue ribbon and we were listening to Yaz- No body’s diary. We were dressed as we saw fit- classic 80’s vintage from thrift stores we had searched all of New Jersey for. We were going to get drunk and then go into his house and watch Ingamar Bergman movies on his new flat screen hi def TV.
…That’s the summer I realized I could be a hipster.
You can recognize them anywhere- the girls will dress in pseudo vintage clothes they purchased from ebay or thrift stores and dress to the nines. Clothes of choice. Bad jeans, slouchy boots and hat, shirt that says some slogan and a nit cap. Accessories include an iphone and a out of place vest.And lots and lots of mismatched layers
The dudes all have crappy hair, porno facial hair and/or dreads,vest, skinny jeans,flannel and ofcourse Chucks….
…I have Chucks…this is so wrong…
Their favorite pastime is gentrifying ethnic neighborhoods and enjoying indy music and avant garde art.
Favorite foods- anything Indian or organic.
I realized my behavior was and IS killing my age group and I had to make it stop.
But then I realized a hipster rejects the mainstream and popular culture- but doesn’t this behavior a part of the mainstream and popular culture?
If everyone listen to indy music wouldn’t it not be indy anymore.
It’s a catch22 kind of thing.
But the irony is, the hipster, will spend their hard earned money and not understand the value of the investment.
Yes, you can spend top dollar on that shitty apartment
in that gang infested neighborhood but why do that when you can spend less money and move into a cheaper apt in a different neighborhood.
Yes, you can go to whole foods or wait on line outside Trader Joes in Union Square and buy certified organic at top dollar buy why don’t you go into the green market that is located right there and support the Farmer directly?
Also, the hipster cannot comprehend the significance of what they deem kitschy or nostalgic.
Example- PeeWee’s playhouse, when I was growing up was one of the coolest shows on TV. Now the Hipster is buying up the boxed set because it brings them back to their childhood- and not because it was a good TV show. Same thing with half their DVD library.
That’s another thing.
Don’t blame me when your East Williamsburg (aka BUSHWICK) apartment is broken into and your PS3,flat screen TV, Bose music center, Apple Imac etc is stolen. You were the one that decided to move in there in the first place.
In retrospect, I feel sorry for thinking myself as a hipster. I hate Indy Movies and Music,…the avant guarde is crap and I choose retro to NOT fit in.
My music collection represents 20 yrs of musical appreciation-from 80’s op to 90’s alternative to the Beatles and Johnny Cash- Each song speaks to me.
Not because its popular or lack there of.
I’m an individual: choosing to live on the border of what’s popular and what’s not. Its my choice if I wanna listen to Lady GaGa or Pink or fucking Ace Of Base.
My choice.
My choice to laugh at Hipsters because they are now the mainstream and their lack of understanding its irony.
My choice to understand ALL ethnicities ESPECIALLY those in my family.
My choice to understand the neighborhoods BEFORE they were gentrified. The Lower East Side is not for the taking- it belongs to the ghosts of the street cart pushers and the tenement houses and EllisIsland.
Is it a chance to show off a child that has just been brought into this world?
Or is it an idea to get your kid fucking teased all his life?
When we are born one of the first things a parent does is give the child and identifying marker- a name. This is the thing that shall intoduce the child (later adult) to the rest of society. This is the thing that will create any first impression besides how they look.
So why didya have to name him/her
ShaQUAN
LAquel
Destiny
Alize
Porshe
Unique
Mary sue
Betty Joe
Ricky Bobby
Shaun
Cassidy
Not picking on any race because we all have our quirks
Spanish people can't choose ONE name so their kids have multiple names so everyone from the past. I knew a kid named Juan Jesus Antonio Sanchez de la Vega.
And whats with everyone naming thier kids after saints? Jesus? maria?
Come on! Not everyone can be Mary or Jesus
Or Mohammed for that matter either.
Or Abraham.
Also do me a favor- don't name your kids names that expired at the turn of the century. Dolly,Fanny,Eunice, Frederick, and names like that are for our GRANDPARENTS.
When i have kids- i shall think of thier welfare before giving them a shitty name. No one wants to be made fun of for the rest of thier life.
Also lets get these kids some self defense lessons. Today kids are becoming pussies because of all the technology. Back when i was a kid i didn't have a nintendo i had a bike. I didn't go to Burger King for Lunch. I brown bagged it.
Perhaps the first indication of parental failure is the name the child is given?
In this golden age of technology people can connect with anyone they want to at an alarmingly fast rate. Hell i can turn on Yahoo,AIM, Trillian,MSN, or any of the chat programs and you can chat with your friend-lets say in Singapore about anything under the sun.
In addition to that you can log on face book or Myspace to update people who care about your rinky dink uninteresting life.
Hurray
...Then there's twitter.
I will admit-I'm an addict.
I log on and look at peoples random thoughts...
..about pies and cock socks and weird things.
But if that wasn't the whole thing-even celebs twitter.
I follow Stephen Fry,Trent Reznor, Eddie Izzard,Dave Navarro and many others. They update on what they are doing.
But only fools actually think that these high profile celebs will actually RESPOND to them back.
--Unless you are making fun of Chris Cornell or Richard Patrick.
They don't take kindly to criticism *tee hee*
Is it so wrong that I think the last good albums they had were in Soundgarden and NIN-respectively.
I'm a bitch and I admit it. And i can't live without my twitter.
Oh btw
Hi Chris Cornell
Heard your solo album-produced by Timberland no less- its a crock of shit. You abandoned you're rock roots in search of fortune and pop stardom. You deserve neither. You ar too old to be a pop star. I miss Soundgarden-not so much Audioslave.
You are nothing but a has been rock musician who is having a midlife crisis. And since when is Timberland the "go to" producer? You know T-Bone Ber nett or Rick Rubin- they produce rock..instead you went with some two bit producer who does "wickywicky" in the background of many of your songs and you call it a day. Even Justin Timberlake is embarrassed to be on this record as his vocals sound weak and embarrassed.
Get your ass back in the studio and do it over. Take out the hip hop beats and add some LYRICS! "Scream from the Top of yo head" makes neither sense nor lyrical magic. Its boring. You're boring.
And do me a favor get a better look.You look like a hobo version of Dave Navarro. Dave's looked like Dave longer then you have. I liked you better with the shorter hair. Now you look like one of the homeless.
Stop it
And don't get me started on Richard PatrickHey Old man..I got something for you...
Hi Richard Patrick,former member of NIN,lead singer of Filter and younger brother of Robert Patrick.
....or should I say Scott Weiland..
..Whats a matter player? You look like you got kicked in the face by the worst plastic surgeon in all of Beverly Hills. What happened to Filter? Besides being a mediocremish mash of Creed,Nickleback and NIN its cemented itself as a --has been rock group. "Soldiers of Misfortune?" Really Dick? Wasn't this the same song that Mach box 20 sang before every movie i saw last summer- you know "Citizen Soldier"-what ever. Its fail.
Last good album you had was "Short bus" sad fact - Most good Filter songs come off of soundtracks.
Think about that while you eat your Jurisstol..or something
You got to admit. Its really fun living in todays times. You could live in your home,work in your home and have everything delivered to your doorstep-whether it be food,clothes,shamwows or even Christmas presents.
(I have talked about them b4)
NO NO NO
