I dont like the word “blogosphere”. I forget why. Oh ya. cuz its lame and unnecessary. It turns a single sylable perfectly encompassing descriptive word into a 3 sylable attempt to paint a bigger, broader image of lameness.
Reading something on the “blogs” is no different than reading something on the “blogosphere”. You just sound more lame if you use the latter.
quit it.
When Hot Cakes sell even better than normal, and their venders wish to use a metaphor to express this… what do they say they are selling like?
Every once in awhile when observing my dad channel surfing I’ll catch him linger on something really ridiculous like Sesame Street or an equally kiddie kid show. I find it interesting the speed he’ll zip through all the other channels and then float for 5 to 25 seconds on puppets singing about tying your shoes.
A similar instance happened today as I went to see a movie with my parents and caught my dad studying a video game in the arcade for over a minute. Just standing there… watching the demo run of the game. I find it very poetic.
It must suck for Black people named Thomas who have siblings that have kids, because they can’t avoid being an “Uncle Tom”.
When you look at someone and they’re mad and say “wut are YOU lookin at?”, maybe it’s cuz they don’t know who they are and they’re lashing out at you in a cry for help to really find themselves….
Or maybe they’re just a jerk.
my GOD. It took them frigging long enough.
I foolishly watched the Season 1 finale of the O.C. 2 days ago and of course had to watch the pay off to the cliffhanger. Watched the first episode of Season 2 and it flippin KILLED me. um. hello? Seth and Summer not back together? okay. episode 2. still no. ep 3. nothing. ep 4. no. ep 5. still no. ep 6? ah-no. ep 7. notsomuch. ep 8 STILL friggin no. ep 9. you’ve gotta be kidding me???
they just HAVE to be together. They HAVE tooooo,
So I keep watching… all day. and go to bed late. pausing only to get the minimal amount of daily work done and to eat a little. bathing will have to wait. no time.
okay, I finally bathed. but I couldn’t use the jets in the bath so I could hear the O.C. on my weak laptop speakers.
Only now. on Tuesday at 9:14PM. Episode 14 of Season 2, did they FINALLY re-connect in a beautiful kiss scene at the end of the episode that you totally need to watch (and read the description of the scenario surrounding it so you know whats going on what the deal is with the Spiderman thing):
Why do people say “that’s so vanilla” to call something boring?
That’s not fair to vanilla. It’s not plain. It’s not just the “water” of ice cream. Vanilla is a flavor. It’s a taste. Vanilla is a flavor that is rich and tasty.
Ya, it’s not as zesty as even a few of the other basics like strawberry or mint chip. But you gonna tell me vanilla is significantly less complex of a taste than chocolate?
Gimmie a break dude. Lets just call this for what we all know it really is. Hating on whitey.
It’s the old “white men can’t jump/dance/or be cool” line, repackaged into a frozen sugar & cream metaphor.
Well screw that. If you don’t like the taste of vanilla then fine. But don’t put your bigotry on my people by using the outdated and false stereotype of vanilla being bland or uninteresting.
Vanilla Power.
I was just typing an email reply and I spelled “frequently”… as “freakwently“….
Freak. wently.
Should I kill myself? I kinda feel like I should kill myself.
I’m at my parents house in Texas now for a few days and I told my mom that while I’m here we should go to an AT&T store and ask about family plans. She said she didn’t know because my dad has been on a kick lately about him and my mom “not supporting me” so I should come at him with the raw numbers to convince him to join one. I paused for a second to try and understand that. Cuz of course, if we switched to a family plan, its not like I would just get a free ride on their plan… I would pay one third of the monthly bill that presumably would be cheaper than what I pay by myself and they pay on their together plan.
Even if the price difference doesn’t come out to be very much less than I’m currently paying, I still benefit under a family plan because my parents, together use about 12 of their minutes a month since everyone they call is on the same network, equaling free minutes.
So a switch to include me in a family plan hurts them none, but helps me lots. And that’s enough to make my dad oppose it. Its a FAMILY plan. It’s for people that are related to each other to share. Did my dad just kick me out of the family?
lol. My dad hates me.
While in Missouri over the weekend I noticed that I consistently gear the answer to the “what do you do?” question depending on where the person who asked it lives.
Both as a source of income and a long term profession investment, I have two jobs that alternate back and forth month to month on which is the source of income and which is the [not so profitable but is an] investment for the future. Those two things being that I am a model and I run a web business from home that manages and maintains a network of websites such as the one you’re reading this post on right now.
When people in California ask me what I do, I tell them I’m a model with interests in acting.
When people in Missori ask me what I do, I tell them I’m a website developer.
Both are true, but I never mention the other.
The reason, I figured out, is expectation from the asker.
If I tell someone in California I’m a model, they go “oh, cool!” cuz its normal and familiar. But if I told them I build and market websites they’re gonna wanna know which ones and I dang well better have something big they’ve heard of to recite.
Likewise if I tell someone in Missouri I’m a webmaster, they go “oh, cool!” cuz its normal and familiar. But if I told them I’m a model they’re gonna wanna know what I’ve been in and I dang well better have something big they’ve heard of to recite.
So since none of the websites in my portfolio reach a hundred million visitors yet and my model work has thus far been short of a billboard in Time Square or the side of a bus somewhere, I keep both occupations as hush as possible. I’ll let the work I did on each leak into the open after the success so its more interesting.
