so a few weeks ago i learned the true meaning of "superman" in context with the song "Crank Dat" by Soulja Boy. I'm not even going to link to the definition of it. (Though i'm sure if you were to look it up in dictionaries of urban context, you would find it).
and then you see everyone dancing to it. kids. parents. women. white people.
and i wonder to myself if they really understand what they are doing. and i laugh. haha.
and then i think.
man what happened to Coolio?
i should probably just buy his book but i think reading levitt's blog is better and more up to date.
and is it just me or is this upcoming generation about to experience what happened to us in the 80's all over again? in music (why does every band seem to sound like a derivative of the cure, or the clash?), fashion (popped collar? really? did i miss the memo?), movies (transformers? gi joe? glutton of bad horror movies and one sided teen romp flicks?), and i dunno, what else defined the 80s.
and we will still be dreaming about flying cars.
edit:
i never saw donnie darko. i probably should. i havent seen stardust either. one day.
from bill simmons. this guy is fun to read.
"We live in a world in which global-warming activists charter private jets to take them from speech to speech, then tell people not to use so much toilet paper. We live in a world in which American kids are getting killed every day in the Middle East and nobody will mobilize a valid protest until the President finally decides, "We're having a draft lottery." We live in a world in which you can Google the female star of the most popular Disney TV movie ever and see her naked, and NBC runs a popular show in which they trap potential child predators and film the confrontations on TV. We live in a world in which high school kids can decide they don't like another high school kid, so they can build an anonymous slam page and libel the hell out of him, and even though this happens and keeps happening, we still don't have any set-in-stone Internet laws to prevent this. We live in a world in which Perez Hilton and TMZ.com get their own TV shows, but "Friday Night Lights" is two months away from getting canceled. We live in a world in which every home run record from the past 10 years has to be taken not just with a grain of salt, but an entire salt shaker."
werd on the FNL part. its a good show.
i saw this quote in our work bathroom and i liked it.
“The answer is never the answer. What’s
really interesting is the mystery. If you seek the mystery instead of
the answer, you’ll always be seeking. I’ve never seen anybody really
find the answer — they think they have, so they stop thinking. But the
job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange
plants grow and mysteries bloom. The need for mystery is greater than
the need for an answer.” ~ Ken Kesey
well thank God that they have that "exclusive" contract with AT&T (that i will never switch to) and the sim hacks look to be a lot of hassle (so far), and that they use itunes.
or i would definitely buy one. seriously. i thought about this for a while.
by "quick" i mean you can "quickly" click the link. it's 5 pages. haha.
Mostly because it's the month before September. And why is September exciting?
