The backstreet boys, N'sync, 98 degrees, and whatever gay new kid on the block has decided to make a "comeback". Before we get into what I don't like about them let's observe an interesting point. The supreme court of the U.S. dictates that anything with no artistic meric, that invokes sexual thoughts, is obscene and pornography. Hmm, so does that make these "groups" pornographic? My answer, yes, anything to get them off the radios and I'll favor it. Consider it seriously though, do they really have ANY artistic merit? Sure music is protected speech, but that doesn't mean it's 100% protection, like a form of birth control it can never be 100%. These groups and other genres of music that I don't particularly like are no valuable at all in an artistic point of view, and if they are I'd be oh so happy to know how. Their lyrics in one form or another revolve around the same thing.. Sex, girls, broken hearts, et cetera, so forth and so on. No, normally I wouldn't care one way or another about this, but goddamnit that's my schtick they're pirating! Why can't I make millions of dollars whining about things that I bitch about every waking moment of my life? Well, there's a simple answer to such a question I realize, I'm not attractive enough to be "Marketable" material. In all honesty, I bet I could be the most talented singer on the planet and I would still never, ever get a record deal and make the money these idiots do because of my unattractive nature, but I'm not bitter, really. To me they are totally obscene and something tells me that no teenage girl who is obsessed with them can even deny the idea that they have had sexual thoughts about them, this especially applys to females ages 16-20, typically. Therefore, technically they can be classified as pornographic (And I'm not even taking into account the way they dress in their music videos). - 10-10 Numbers: If anyone reading this isn't sick of these damn commercials (if you watch Tv at all, but I have a hard time believing people who say "I never watch TV, ever.) then you really need to learn what redundancy is. I can't sit down and watch "The Daily Show" or anything for that matter without seeing one or even two of those commercials. TV: "Dial 10-10-345 and save a bundle!" Me: "Shut up" TV: "Dial 10-10-321 and get 50% off..." Me: "Jesus christ it's like I'm being followed" TV: "Dial 10-10-9000 for directory assistance.." Me: TV: "Sick of all of these 10-10 numbers?" Me: "Yes, very much so." TV: "Then just remember this one number..10-10..." Me: "@!*()!*@(HKJHSA!)(*)!@*@(!)!*)( FUCK YOU TV!" Needless to say the rest of this just sort of writes itself from here. If I had the money too I would have destroyed the television by this time. - I refuse to see movies with the following people in it: Sarah Michelle Geller Claire Danes Elijiah Wood Katie Holmes Reese Witherspoon Keanu Reeves (The Matrix was good, but as usual his acting SUCKED.) Jonathan Taylor Thomas Skeet Ulrich (He's playing Kevin Mitnick in the upcoming movie "Takedown" which just makes my blood curdle thinking about it, the script to that is a total farce.) Matthew Liliard (I'm kind of in the middle of this, in some cases, his... unique way of acting is good, otherwise, he sucks as well.) Leonardo DiCaprio David Arquette (He's too much of a hyperactive, jittery kind of guy for me to like.) And much more...MUCH more. - I also refuse to see movies with the following: Proceeds with the following "An MTV production" Is related to Disney (this doesn't include "Miramax", those loveable guys who released Clerks, Mallrats, and Chasing Amy. ) - Some forms of organized religion: I'm a avid reader, and I must say that I enjoy reading up on serial killers a lot. Now, before you pigeonhole me as being a psychopath (which is the usual reaction at school.) it's just for knowledgeable purposes. (i.e. the psychology behind what they do.) After reading up on several serial killers and of course the famous Charles Manson, I noticed a pattern in all of them. They say that one of the signs of a serial killer is a troubled childhood, of all of the killers I've read about most of them had a mom or dad who were so religious that they instilled a fear in the soon to be murderers of everything that was not religions, prime examples of this kind of childhood are Eddie Gein, and one of the Hillside Stranglers, Ken Bianchi. The following was taken from "The Crime Library Website" (www.crimelibrary.com): "It took a few moments to sink in, but soon Schley realized that it wasn't a deer at all, it was the headless butchered body of a woman. Bernice Worden, the fifty-year-old mother of his deputy Frank Worden, had been found. While the shocked deputies searched through the rubble of Eddie Gein's existence, they realized that the horrible discoveries didn't end at Mrs. Worden's body. They had stumbled into a death farm. The funny-looking bowl was a top of a human skull. The lampshades and wastebasket were made from human skin. A ghoulish inventory began to take shape: an armchair made of human skin, female genitalia kept preserved in a shoebox, a belt made of nipples, a human head, four noses and a heart. The more the looked through the house, the more ghastly trophies they found. Finally a suit made entirely of human skin. Their heads spun as they tried to tally the number of woman that may have died at Eddie's hands." This article written by Rachael Bell paints just one horrifying aspect of what organized religion can do to some people, sometimes; Eddie Gein's activities are what led to the creation of "Buffalo Bill" in 'The Silence of the Lambs'. The idea that religion, if ingrained into a child's head strong enough can lead to such atrocities makes me irate, and only fuels my hatred for most forms of religion. - Reprocussions of the Littleton, CO shooting: I know I'm going to step on some toes with this one... Everyone is talking about the shooting, my standing on it is a very simple one, I don't care. I really truly don't care, but before you claim I'm a heartless bastard, hear me out for a minute before you stone me. Honestly now who did not see something like this happening in the future? How can you be surprised at the animosity of these two kids when you knew it was going to happen you just didn't know when or where? Barry Loukaitis in Medical Lake (place near spokane, some guy killed 2 students and a teacher there about 4 years ago.), the jonesboro thing, and some others. It's all gotten progressively worse, and using logic and some thermodynamic law ( with time, entropy/disorder increases) it's fairly safe to assume that the violence in school will escalate even more. Now, it was tragic, I'll admit that. I'm not totally heartless it was a very disheartening event, but it's not something I plan on dwelling on for more than one day. Now that you know my standing on it, allow me to demonstrate how you can reaaallllyyy piss me off. Two days after the shooting, I hear from my good friend Michelle that a group of people donned trench coats, painted their faces white and advocated the "Trench coat mafia" all day, even going so far as to vandalize the school's bathrooms with such atrocious statements as "the trench coat mafia is supreme!", etc. I don't mind people joking about it, I joke about it and I believe that joking about it in fact may even help in some form or another. But there is a fine line before you go to far, whether these kids were joking or not I don't know but they definitely overstepped their bounds. The worst part of all is that I knew 2 of the people who did this, two of my friends got a rise out of this, needless to say I refuse to talk to them now. And now, With the antics of these immature teenagers I'm trying to do my best to comfort my friend who is afraid of going to school because such an event can occur anywhere, and at any given moment.
