| a few of my favourite (kinds of) blogs |
I had a chance to catch the tail end of the sound of music a couple days back which got my thinking about what are a few of my favourite things... and that's blogs. So many different types, and here I outline my favourite kinds:
1) The metaphorical Blog: these are the ones that don't really tell you anything about the person, how he or she's doing, but might give you an idea. These ppl often post song lyrics which apparently are supposed to reflect the current state of mood that they're in. How Lifehouse lyrics get to so many blogs is a mystery to me. I mean is Lifehouse really that good that u must post "you and me" on ur site or a similar type song on ur site? What kills me are the ones with mp3s or midi songs embedded into the site once u load the page... and it's ALWAYS a slow jam. When did everyone become so romantical? How are you going to have Utada Ikaru's First Love song playing on your site when u don't even understand Japanese? For all you know, she could be talking smack about your mom in the verse while you sway gently back and forth to the infectious musicbox piano key hits. We need to get original and upload some good ole Metallica to midi. Can you imagine how the guitars would sound for Unfrogiven in midi? that would rock my world and instantly make that page a bookmark for me.
2)The Spiritual encourager blog : These sites are also metaphorical in nature. A simple Bible passage is posted and that is it. They're usually posted because they were some form of encouragement to the writer and she/he felt it was a good idea to post it to encourage others. I'm in no way knocking this approach because hey, at least the writer is posting about something that is eternally significant, but verses can be pretty cryptic. I'd be more interested in how you interpreted such passages in your life and how you responded in turn.
3)The hater-ation/Ranter blog : This extends to hating about everything about their significant other, their hate for others who have significant others, their hate for themselves because they don't have a significant other, and just generally hate all around. To be honest, reading such entries makes me LOL (except i'm not really LOLing...I'm just thinking LOL cause LOLing at your computer? who actually does that? Hey if you do, that's cool...that's just not me, so when you spot me saying LOL, check me in my fakery cause I'm probably not LOLing and would need a good rebuke for lying). These blogs are all about creating drama where there should be no drama. I love ppl who hate on wannabe gangstas like they're all wise old men who have been gangstas and have the street cred to say: "Hey son. Stop dressing like a G, cause I was a G and I know that you ain't one." It's the "realness" critics, the "relationship gurus", the "hopeless romantics" that all come out and show their true colours in such blogs. Being a fellow hater myself, to the extent that I just like to laff about everything because this world is just a funny funny place with funny funny ppl, i gotta give two thumbs up (with some serious cut-eye on the side) for offering me minutes of fun.
4) the What Just Happened blog : After getting thru an entry of these kinds, you're just left there scratching your head thinking that maybe the mushrooms you ate in your pasta might have actually been shrooms, which is why you're so dazed and confused right now. These are the most completely random blogs in the universe of bloggery which my consist of math tangrams for the oct 15th entry followed directly by a grocery list the next day. People who are typing away on their keyboards for these blogs have to be certified geniuses cause an ordinary person's brain does not operate in that manner... but then again there is no real fine line between insanity and genius... sucess seems to be the determining factor between the two. If you visit such blogs regularly, get in tighter with the blogwriter cause she/he is brimming on some Beautiful Mind Action and you just might be the Jennifer Connelly to the Russell Crowe if you play your cards right.
yeah so these are my favourite kinds of blogs. I by no means am claiming that I have not dipped into each archetype because to a certain degree I have posted incredibly random things, posted obscure bible verses that spoke a certain brand of truth to me, hated on others and hated on the fact that I am being hated on by others, but what I have NEVVEERRR done is post song lyrics. I don't know why. Songs do speak to me. I just never felt compelled to post a set of lyrics...until now. So here goes. Enjoy my faithful blog reader! Peace to K-town.
R&B singer R. Kelly was arrested in Florida in 2002 on 21 counts of child pornography. The arrest was based on a videotape allegedly showing R. Kelly having sex with an underage girl.
My minds telling me no but my body my body's telling me yeah baby i dont want
to hurt nobody but there is something that i must confess to you
Chorus
I dont see nothing wrong (Wrong) With a little bump and grind with a little
bump and grind I dont see nothing wrong (wrong ba ba baby Hey)I dont see
nothing wrong (wrong) I dont see nothing wrong with a little bump and grind
with a little bump and grind i dont see nothing wrong (wrong)
Verse

Bring that badboy back to the chorus yeaaaahhh |

darr your blogs are best in the random funnies department and they never cease to entertain and cause readers to stand back in awe and wonder. example: darr using artist's own lyrics as a defamatory tool. *points to darr* - this soc. kid is too witty.

i agree....your blogs ARE the best. i usually check every 30 minutes or so to see if you have posted. and if you have already posted that day, i'll check every hour to see if you've maybe, just maybe posted twice in a day. and if you have...i'll still check every hour to see if you've posted anything else.
you are so smart and funny and witty and beautiful.....i watch you every single day and admire your zest for life. you are perfect in every way.

Glad to see you get on the R Kelly hater train. I sure you have brought a lot of popcorn and books to read as this will be a long trip.
Now that you're ready, go listen to all the "chapters" of "Trapped in the Closet" and then...rant
