no fun

"meow"
--cat


i want to bitch about something else. these people and their Z's. "wordz" "funz" you know what i'm talkin' bout. i've been known to do this myself, but i started thinking about it after some dumb guy was making fun of it on his blog. what it actually is, though, is people being self-referentially over-white. like "i'm so white, it's ridiculous when i use this black slango talk." you get to show that you are aware of blackness, and that you know it's lame to try to be black if you're not at the same time. come to think of it, i don't care. i am going to keep doing itz.

it also really annoys me when people try to act like they are legitimately into hip-hop because it's really good. it's really not that good usually these days, and it's the same type of sensation as trying to convince people that Lost is great art.
the logic goes like this: "just let go and admit that goofy dancing to rap music and watching comic book movies are the best we can do. stop pretending to like art-films and esoteric things, we know you're just trying to be cool. we don't believe that you actually enjoy it."
People that say this are lazy or not that smart, and they feel really threatened by things they don't understand. they overcompensate by calling art films gay and boring.
sorry bout the ranting blog-man,
alex

yeah, but hunter I don't really believe you. you don't like comic book movies. and if you do, rhen I don't believe IN you, you're like the easter bunny. and if you are real, then its ok, because you are like the pure white light of dawn coming over the mountain tops.

thanks i think but you should probably go ahead and renounce whatever faith you had in me. the dark knight and iron man would both make my top 15 movies of the year so far. if it makes you feel any better, 10 of the 15 are pretentious foreign movies and 2 are pretentious indie fauxteur movies. the other one is pixar.
