Popularity = Lower Quality?

Can we all just agree that the idea that once something becomes popular within the media and commercial industry it somehow becomes less good than what it was when no one had heard about it... even though it's the exact same product... is fucking stupid?... Because it is. It's really, really, really dumb.

Go The **** Home! (Please, excuse the language in this following post...)

I love my family, I really do... but like any family they tend to drive me nuts sometimes... Right now I'm living with my grandparents because it is closer to my college. Good reason, right? They have a fully furnished basement with two bedrooms, one bath, a kitchen, and a living room with a big screen T.V. It's practically like my own apartment. But god damn it if I didn't have to share it. Not because there are other people living here with me, oh no. It's because none of my cousins ever want to go the fuck home!

For real! This is not your house. You have no reason to be here. You live just thirty minutes away. I'm sorry, but I like my privacy and quiet time. I dislike it when I go upstairs and you're arguing with my grandma, sitting on your ass on the couch on your computer taking up room, and then there is a baby crying in the corner cause you won't take care of it. And you have your own house where you can do all of this without bothering other people! Why do you bring it here!? Oh, yeah, that's right, your excuse is because you don't have anything to eat at the house... So when did you get those new shoes? Yeah, you know what you could have bought with that money? Fucking food! You have no clue how happy I am to see you leave at ten-o-clock at night, after you stayed the night for three days straight. I literally fist pump as soon as you walk out the door. Like "Hell yeah! They're gone!" ... Only to wake up at eight the next morning to hear the doorbell ringing and you stomping around like a damn elephant over my head... Like you never freaking left...

Note to all you moochers, you lazy asses, and all you others who wont GTFO... GO HOME DAMN IT!

My Novel Blog

As you can tell by my blog, I enjoy writing. I enjoy writing so much, that on my own spare time I have started over twenty stories of my own, though not a one of them has yet to have been completed. In order to personally share my stories with the world, I created a novel blog to store them on at Speak Softly Novels <<---- Clicky, clicky and it will take you to the site! :D

FML STUPID UPGRADES!

I hate the fact that you can go out and buy a brand new laptop computer one year and then by the next a new system will be made, all the programs will be produced to only work with the "newer" ones, and your laptop is already pretty much absolete. FML D: !!!

Really, I wouldn't know a thing about my own life (and hair) if it wasn't for you...

So I was just sitting around with my grandmother and cousin today... happened to take a look at my hair and realized I had a few split ends and thought, "I need a haircut." Then I picked a few split ends off of my hair.

"I hate it when people do that," my grandma says, "your (aunt's name) does it all the time."

"Why does it bother you?"

"I don't know."

Cousin who thinks she's the expert on everything there is to be an expert on says, "You know that that just makes the split ends worse right? I haven't had split ends in years. Ever since (her daughter) I haven't had to straighten my hair, and I don't blow dry it, I just put moose in it and then that's all," while looking at me the whole time.

I'm thinking. "Well dear god, it's not like my hair is full of split ends but thanks for your advice that I never asked for." But I simply said. "Well I have to straighten my hair because it does wave and look bad if I don't so I'm not going to stop and I'll just have to deal with the split ends."

Then somehow the conversation gets onto hair types. So I'm tired of talking about it and don't want to get involved.

"Yeah you know after you reach a certain age you're only supposed to wash your hair about three times a week?" Says the cousin.

"Yeah I do that or else my hair gets dry," says my grandma.

"Yeah I wash my hair about every other day, because you don't want to wash out your natural oils," says cousin.

"Same here," I finally decide not to be left out of the conversation. "But I have naturally oily hair so sometimes I have to wash it before I have somewhere important to go."

"You know touching and brushing the roots of your hair makes it more oily?" My cousin says.

"Yeah that's what (insert my name) does," my grandma says.

WHAT THE HELL! Okay, okay, I get it.... Does my hair look like crap or something? Did I insult you anyway? Do you get off by insulting my hygiene and overall personal care knowledge? Do you run your fingers through my hair in the morning to see how oily it REALLY is after I sleep on it?... I really don't think you do. But thanks for your concern by telling me the things I obviously do but never knew myself that I did. I'm so glad I have you two around to tell me about myself. Really. I don't know where I'd be without you...

Song of the Day: "Video Killed the Radio Star"

My friend gave me one of his CD mixes and it has this song on it. I've been listening to it like crazy. Kind of coincides with how I've been feeling today. Even though this song came out in 1979, it still has that oldies vibe to it. Like how video killed the radio star, television and video also killed the drive-in. R.I.P. My should be childhood memories. Song of the day is "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Buggles.

I Want to Go to a Drive-In Movie

Really looking for something good to watch, but can't really think of anything. I just finished watching this little show about drive-in movies and the 50's and 60's on TV and it has left me feeling a little disappointed. How I wish I was a teenager during those years, when going to watch a movie would only cost one dollar instead of ten. And things just seemed so much more colorful and bright, unique, and cheerful. Present day businesses are so ridiculous and stingy and only care about profit versus pleasing their customers.. It's a shame that most drive-ins have long since been closed down. But I guess everyone is just trying to keep up with the times and technology. Really, I don't see any reason for something as good as that to be considered "out of date." Now I want to go watch some greaser film or some old surfer movie like "Gidget." Sigh...

Know it's been a while since my last update on my blog, though no one's really reading it anyways, and that is all I have to update it with, oh well.
