Awesome/Not Awesome (3-20-10)

I have an idea for a movie called "March Madness".

It's a comedy-horror flick, in which so many upsets occur in the NCAA Men's Basketball Div. I Tournament that the human mind fails and mass insanity occurs, with only the most strong-willed and intelligent left to survive through the chaos of the crazy.

Oh, come on, it can't be that bad!

AWESOME: Rickrolling

Ah, the wonders of the internet. You can information on virtually every topic known to man, watch TV, keep in touch with your friends, even find someone to fuck!

In fact, it's really easy to share something interesting with your friends via the internet. For example, you can post in an e-mail to a friend:

"Hey friend,

Check out this really cool blog I found. This guy is really funny and interesting. Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"

And if the friend is like most people, he doesn't even bother to look at the link and just blindly clicks it, and...

BOOM!

Now he's watching Rick Astley's music video for his 80's hit, "Never Gonna Give You Up", a hilariously awkward thing to be caught watching at your place of work, or a school library.

For those of you who don't know, Rick Astley is a scrawny nerdy looking white guy with a voice that you would typically associate with a heavy set black guy. Really, that doesn't even do it justice. Everybody who's heard this song is shocked that this man is singing it. I don't know what that says about our perception of people, but it's kinda like hearing a Snoop Dogg song and then finding out that it wasn't Snoop Dogg at all. It was Weird Al.

It hurts the mind.

But it's so entertaining to cause other people to experience the mindfuck and shame accompanied with a Rickroll. "Never Gonna Give You Up" is the perfect song to do something like this.

So whoever thought of this, I salute you.

You're a genius and you're awesome.

Why you thought of doing this?

I'll never know.


NOT AWESOME: Time

Fuck time! It can kiss my ass! It always does the same fucking thing, and it's way inconvenient!

How come really enjoyable things go by so quickly and shit that fucking sucks lasts forever?!

And don't give me any bullshit about perception or anticipation being the cause. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, but if time wasn't such a bitch it wouldn't matter!

But that's not all. There's never enough of it.

I never get the shit I want or need to get done in a given day accomplished. I swear time conspires to sabotage me.

I mean, look at the blog!

You think I like that I've hardly written anything since October?

NO!

But that's what time does to you. You got responsibilities, and a fixed number of hours in the day. So as responsibilities go up, time should too! But it doesn't. Something's got to give, and unfortunately this blog probably won't get me good grades or a job, so see ya, Awesome/Not Awesome.

In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of the Azkaban (you know, the HP book that kicked major ass but the film that blew ass chunks), Hermione has this hourglass that allows her to time travel a few hours back, so she can get more shit done or find time to sleep or something.

I need that! Dude! I'm sick and tired of being time's bitch!

Although, if I'm gonna time travel, I want to do with some style.... a DeLorean!

And then Awesome/Not Awesome wouldn't have to die because I ran out of time.... wait a minute, I got all the time I want, I got a time machine! I could go back and warm myself!

Time's a piece of shit! Gotta go!

starckie!



Noooooooo, you bastards!

Not awesome!
