"Indie" World

I've noticed, quite recently, that "Indie" is the new thing. Everything is "Indie" now a days: Movies, Music, Clothing! It all started with music, music and its "Independent" label. What gives? Sure, its a good idea, let bands whom aren't as well known be known and given fame they may not have had. Cool, right? Yeah. Arcade Fire, to me, is what "Indie" music is all about. But nowadays, all of it sounds the same. The word is thoroughly over used and I actually cringe when I hear it said. Just now, I was reading a blog by a fellow blogger and it was a list of movies, and something she said was "Indie Movies!" which got me on this rant. It just sounds so...not cool anymore. Like, OK, yeah, things are "Indie", but I think people should stop with the slang and just say "Oh, yeah, that movie done by that 'Independent' film company...". One more thing, notice how all the bands which classify themselves as "Indie" pretty much all sound the same? Yeah! Since when did bands like "Paramore" (whom I don't even know) become classified in this category. They suck...I think, the name says it all. I'm sorry, I'm really opinionated when it comes to music etc...

Any who...tell me what you think....and stop saying "INDIE"!

Whisper Talkers

I was sitting in anthropology, and a friend of mine was saying something to me but she was whispering. Yes, the teacher was talking and she didn't have any other option...but there is whispering and there is whispering so someone can hear you. It made me think that that would have made a hilarious bit to do for a stand up comic. Its utterly hilarious! So of course you're just supposed to nod along because you don't want to be like "wha....? whaaaa...?" the whole time...so you say "oh yeah...yeah...uhu, i agree..." so they think you know what their talking about...BUT YOU DON'T! It just made me chuckle to myself...oh man. Another thing that makes me laugh is people looking over someone elses' shoulder and then get all defensive if the person tells them that they know you were looking over their shoulder. People are an odd species I tell you, I do not get them!

Popularity

Popularity. One word with so much unneeded weight. Come to my school, meet the rich and famous "lulu lemon" wearing, "like nigga" saying, "sports come natural to me" people. I don't want to sound like a total bitch, because the truth of the matter is that I am not one, but those people are actually the scum of the school. Or at least what they represent. I know most of them are probably not terrible people, but the thing is that they travel and packs who all attack together. But when you corner them, they're actually really nice people because they are actually quite spineless on their own. Maybe to some people this sounds like just a mean rant and by someone is potentially jealous, but the truth is I am no where near jealous of those meathead, cell phone loving, hot bodies. Some are my 'friends', so I can't be too harsh, but some I just cannot stand! It makes me so sad to think that these people are going to be in our world doing who knows what and only think about themselves, money and the way people see them. Then there is the whole cell phone issue, but thats not just the pops, thats pretty much everyone I know. I think me and some of my friends are the only ones at my school with out cell phones. How sad much? VERY! Cellphones have taken over my school and probably like every highschool in North America. SADDDD! Our world is going to hell in a hand basket. But thats a whole different blog.

Bastards

I lay in bed. Waiting for the sleep that looms over my head. Just as I drift, a LOUD car vrooms down the street. Do you know how much that pisses me off? The Mx. speed on local streets is 50 and these ass holes are going what? like 60 - 70 and even 50 is fast! Here's a scenario: early in the morning, speeding down the street and "oh, look a child walking out chasing its ball..." and HIT. Its proven that if you're going just a few kms slower, you can avoid hitting things and you also save gas! WHAT A CONCEPT! Now remember, you always have time, time is not an issue, so chill out. Whats the worst that can happen if you're late? Fired? Detention? Or take option two, would you like to speed and hit and innocent child or animal? About 6 months ago, my cat was hit and the person didn't even bother to stop! When I think of his body on the cold road, i want to hunt down whom ever did that and kill them. He was like a child to me, sounds stupid, but so true! It just sends chills right down my spine and disturbs me. Ok, I do not have a problem with speed, I enjoy speed, believe me! But not in a town or city where people, animals etc can die as a result! So as I drift off, it actually scares me to the bone when I hear those ass holes speeding down the road. Over the last few years, I've become really attatched to animals and cannot stand the thought of anything getting hit. Even a little squirrel getting hit makes me want to weep like a baby. BLARGH.

Wha....?

I don't understand what just happened. I wanted to write a new blog and it always asks me for a URL and whaaaaa, I already have one...DOI! So I need help with that. AHHHH. And the different categories etc... I do not get that. Yes, I don't get a lot of things, suck it up. I made this category for things that make me mad or I just DO NOT understand. And when I was downstairs I had many ideas rushing full speed through my brain, and they were great topics, but of course I completely forget now! Goddamn. I am mad now, because those were going to be swell, out of this world swell! Now I fell ridiculous because I have lost my topic! GLAHHH. I am going to go download SoulSeek and download some music illegally. Tootle!
