Demo Opera

I could watch shit blow up all day long. 

Despondex

The perfect drug for a curmudgeon like me. To force on other people. 

It's why I couldn't stand the movie Happy Go-Lucky. I couldn't believe, they're making a movie celebrating a person like this? As if we all should be like that? Hell no. 

New Rules!

Now with 100% more Sarah Silverman!

The Nietzsche Family Circus

This site is freakin' brilliant. It takes Family Circus cartoons and replaces the captions with quotes from Nietzsche. Just refresh the page to get new ones. Freakin' great. 


"Faith means not wanting to know what is true."

This still creeps me out.

I'm Coming Out

So those horrid, inbred "God hates fags" family members was protesting at the University of Chicago. This was one of the fraternity's responses to them: 

Bravo boys. Bravo. It's funny. And really it's a testament of how far we've come and that marriage equality for all is just around the corner. Frat boys standing up for equality. Younger people for the most part don't care about gay marriage. The proof is in the polls. Until then, we'll have great little moments like this. 

The Dream Is Over. Brace Yourself.

So Sarah and Levi are no longer sitting in a tree. How I hope this is true. I have a feeling it is. Hahahaha. I shouldn't laugh, but my how the hypocrisy train keeps on a rolling along! We all knew they were forced to declare they were getting married. And now that her mom is out of the spot light, she can't be bothered to marry him. And really, can you blame her. Who wants to marry someone who calls themselves a "fucking redneck"? And is proud of it. Poor Bristol, it's hard raising two. . . I mean one kid all by her self. Well I'm sure she'll rebound with a much better 'class' of person. Someone her mom approves of. Because if you're going to use your children and family as props, they might as well be high class props. 

Once again, I present a recreation of my reaction to reading this story through Snoopy. I shouldn't laugh, but hey, when life has you down, all you can do is laugh at others: 

The Ugly Truth

It's another slow news day. Or maybe just another day where I can't get excited about posting anything. Nothing is getting me riled up enough I guess. Or maybe it's time to get the Zoloft prescription. Anywho, this good looking lad is making his way around the internets with this medley of songs: 

Now if this kid doesn't already have a recording contract, he will soon enough. Why? Well yes, the kid has talent. But on top of that he's pretty damn cute too. And that's the key it seems to me. He kinda looks like Jamie Bell aka Billy Elliot. Well maybe that he's young also. So young, cute, and talented. Check. Check. And check. So expect to hear more from this guy. But things like this always arouse a question in me: Are there no ugly talented people? 

That has to be, right? There has to be some really, truly ugly talented people toiling away in coffee shops and bars. They just don't break through because they aren't camera ready? Or does the machine work to make them good looking? I'm not naive, I know we're not in a 'radio only' world anymore. Appearance counts in this superficial world. I get that. Hey, I like looking at pretty people. Who doesn't? I could look at pretty people all day. But why no unattractive singers and musicians? Am I just drawing a blank here? It seems to be only young, cuties in the music world. 

You can be ugly and a movie star. Don't believe me, just look at Nic Cage. I'd vote him as ugliest movie star ever. I always laugh when they try to sell him as a love interest or a sex symbol. Lets be honest, if he wasn't rich and famous most would would run the other way when they saw him. And yes, I'm saying he's uglier than Walter Matthau. That's ugly.

I'm curious, who was the last person to break through with any real notability that wasn't attractive on some level? Like just butt ugly but actually pretty talented? 

 I can't really think of anybody off the top of my head.

 

I Got Nothing

I really got nothing today. I mean there are things going on in the world today, but nothing that I can muster any energy to write about. I could write about that they're not going to count gays in the 2010 census because it's still considered a lifestyle by them. Fucking stupid I know, but it's probably a hold over from the retarded Bush years so I don't expect the same people to be employed much longer. Or I could write about how they're rebooting the Fantastic Four movies already. But who really cares? I'm sure they'll find new and creative ways to fuck it up. 

And seeing this makes me feel slightly better about missing my interview at the game store this morning. Because making minimum wage and trying to sell something I know nothing about is bad enough. But having to watch training videos like this while making minimum wage and trying to sell something I know nothing about is even worse!
