Awesome/Not Awesome (8-11-10)

Did you guys know that Daphne actually owns the Mystery Machine? The Scooby-Doo Gang/Business is owned by Daphne. Fucking weird. I always thought it was Fred, I mean, he’s always driving the damn thing.

AWESOME: Telephones from the Jetsons

These are awesome for one main reason- they don’t exist yet, at least not for mass consumption or outside of webcams.

Now, maybe some of you remember past awesome/not awesome’s where all I do is bitch and moan about scientists failing to deliver inventions or other technology that people in the past said we’ve had by now.

(Hover Board- you better be on the market by 2015)

But this time, it’s different. I don’t want to see this shit, ever.

Why?

Because then people will realize how uninterested I am in whatever they’re saying when I’m on the phone with them.

Now, in case you’ve never seen the Jetsons, their telephones are kind of like a combination between the telephone and television. Like Skype.

Alright, fair enough. That’s not THAT dangerous. I mean, when I Skype (can I use that as a verb?) with someone, I’m kind enough not to be doing a bunch of other shit at the same time.

Like writing for a shitty unknown blog!

See, I can do that when I’m just on the regular phone! You can do all sorts of things on the phone with someone else. I have friends that catch up with the relatives via phone- ONLY WHEN THEY’RE ON THE TOILET.

God bless America!

Now, imagine if when your friend calls you up while he’s taking a shit to talk- AND YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT.

In the Jetsons, there’s no normal phones. ALL of them are of the TV design.

Uhh…. Ew.

Now it’s a lose-lose situation. I can’t do whatever the hell I want, but, if I do, you have to see me do it.

Unless you know, you’re into watching people shit. Then it’s a lose-win. Or something.

In any case, I’ll take the flying cars and moving walkways, but TV-phones? No thanks.

Stay out of existence- and be awesome!


NOT AWESOME: People who have “serious” arguments via youtube comments

Everybody knows what I’m talking about. Everybody.

There’s always one prick out there that has to take a relatively harmless video, be it a music video, a trailer, a homemade movie, anything- and look way too deeply into it.

For example, there are videos out there of every type of nationality being portrayed as stupid, followed by the hundred or so people that must argue that a) the nationality in question is not stupid since only a few people were in the video or b) the nationality in question is stupid- since everybody acts like the few people in the video!

Fact of the matter is EVERYBODY'S STUPID.

I’ve also seen videos out there that have NOTHING TO DO WITH GOD have drawn out “intelligent” conversations arguing whether there is a God or not.

However, by far the most common argument you’ll find on youtube has to do about tastes in music, or eras in music.

Comments you’ll find range from: “Metallica sucks” to “it sux that stupid shit like Justin Bieber are popular what the fuck where’d good music go” to “goth people are gay” to “Metallica is gay”.

Here’s my problem with this: NOTHING CAN EVER BE PROVEN VIA YOUTUBE COMMENT.

These are just facts of life people:
1) Every generation says the music from their childhood/adolescence is the best. For example, I grew up in the 90s. Therefore, 90s music is best.

And that’s a fact. 90s music is the best.

2) There always exists one guy who HATES the music video/band that must comment on the video just to piss off those who do like them. For example, I don’t really like Green Day from about 2003 onward. So, what I do, is CHOOSE NOT TO LISTEN THEM. I don’t go their page for their new single, and type “NEW GREEN DAY IS GARBAGE” on it. That’s just fucking stupid!

3) There always exists a strong group of people who hate current popular music. We call this group of people “Anyone who is not a teenage girl”.

So, in conclusion….. there are always going to be haters of whatever you like. But as we all know only some of them are right.

Like me.

Long live the 90s! They’re awesome!
