Pity the Children

For my painting class i needed a bunch of little glass jars ... for something ... im really not too sure what i need them for ... but the professor said that baby food jars were the best ... well i dont know anyone around here with a baby ... so i bought some baby food for the cans ... but it seems sort of wasteful ... so my roommate and i decided to try some ... probably the worst idea of my life ... never ... ever ... eat baby food ... i feel as though i can empathize with babys now

we rated the baby foods from worst to best above ... starting at the top left going to the bottom right ... i actually tricked my roommate into eating quite a big bite of the peaches, oatmeal and banana by saying it was not half bad and waiting until after she took a bite of it to say that it was not half bad compared to the turkey

if you look closely at the applesauce ... half of it was eaten ... it tasted just like applesauce just a little mushy-er

poor kids



this song used to be my absolute favorite of all time ... it's an excellent song ... i still love it ... and the video starts out looking like a car ad ... but turns into what appears to be a camera ad ...

Sarcasm: Friend or Foe?

Sarcasm [sar kazem]
noun
the use of irony to mock or convey contempt
See note at Wit

I typically use sarcasm on a daily basis without second thought to whether or not it is harming others ... i like to think of myself as a funny person ... but i wouldnt want my humor to mainly be at the expense of others ... sarcasm can be taken many different ways and one being really badly ... a friend of mine in middle school and i would constantly be getting into fights because of some random sarcastic comment that i made while we were instant messaging ... because sarcasm difficult for some to read and understand apparently ... i also got yelled at for a few sarcastic comments ive made ... all bad things ... but sarcasm can also be good ... if used properly (with good timing) it can be the most hilarious thing ever ... and laughter is the best medicine right? (unless you have just had jaw or lower abdominal surgery ... then it could hurt quite a bit) ... and everyone should enjoy a good laugh daily ... which i thoroughly enjoy providing for others ...

this video is beyond amazing ... awesome song that i love ... and ever since my sister showed me this video ive wanted to ride my bike (which is pretty much the exact same as the one in the video) around at night with a mask ... it's incredibly creatively weird ... and i love it ... i hope you love it too ... even in the slightest bit ...

the world wide web

Whoever decided that it would be a good idea to put tv shows online is my hero ... i can just imagine people in their little business suits sitting around a table just coming up with all these crazy ideas ... like "lets have our phones have the internet ... what was that ... anna lee just updated her awesome blog ... thanks phone" ... or "let's put a glue type substance on the back of an image and call it a sticker" and then ... suddenly out of no where some person who was just sitting in his or her cubicle comes running in and says "business guys ... we should put tv shows that ran the night before online for all the people who missed it ... wouldnt that be rad?"
Im about to watch Heroes online because i had a sorority chapter meeting during the premiere ... and last year i didnt even own a tv ... so I got to enjoy all of the two tv shows i ever watch, online

this video is one of my new favorite songs ... even though ive only listened to it one time according to my itunes count ... ive listened to it more than that i promise ... my friend just introduced me to this band ... because she is awesome when it comes to music stuffs ... except i totally introduced her to her now absolute favorite band ... the Veils ... so ha ... ive got her beat ... it's just another really random music video ... but the song is really good so i hope yall enjoy it ... the lyrics are pretty cool

when nouns want to hang out with the cool crowd

Just the other day (aka yesterday) someone jokingly threatened to shank me ... for one i know this person would never actually harm me or anyone else in any way ... and two ... they were using a noun as a verb ... and people seem to be doing that a lot lately ... when i brought up the whole shanking conversation later i was asked to tell the difference between a shank and a shiv ... so i googled it ... yes thats right ... i just said googled ... it's in the dictionary now as a verb ... ive been trying for a while now to get people to say that they imdbed a movie (imdb.com ... check it out ... and use it was a verb) ... but it doesnt seem to be catching on ... well google didnt give me much information on shanks or shivs ... so i looked it up in the dictionary ... an online dictionary ... because who actually looks through a real dictionary anymore

Dictionary definitions:
Shank - a dagger made by a prison inmate from available materials
Shiv - a knife or razor used as a weapon

So a shank doesn't necessarily have to be a shiv ... sure they can make a dagger but they dont have to use it as a weapon ... although i dont know why they would be making a shank with no intentions of using it ... and you probably won't find a shiv in prison to use as a shank ... although my only perspective of prison comes from Arrested Development (the clip below ... not the one i wanted but it's funny none the less) ... so i could be completely off



I also figured i should make a brief list of nouns that i've heard used as verbs ... but they all involved violent actions so i decided against it

i think there's something in the water

"In the name of people, and freedom, and democracy, and stuff like that, I hereby kidnap myself and I'm taking this ship with me"

whenever im brushing my teeth and im staring at the faucet ... because i think it's just a little awkward to stare at yourself while brushing your teeth ... i get this very vivid image of a video i was shown in the 5th grade or something about conserving water ... it was a cartoon of this kid brushing his teeth and leaving the water running ... there was a pond near by with a little fish swimming in it all cute and what not ... and the water level to the pond keeps going down as the little boy leaves the faucet going ... and you're just sitting there thinking "that little bastard" ... and then feel all guilty for one. calling that cartoon child a bastard ... and two. for leaving the faucet running while brushing your teeth ... because it's animal abuse ... and that could lead to even more serious stuff ... such as child abuse ... and no one wants to see a cartoon child get kicked around for brushing his teeth ... so to conclude today's lesson ... save the cartoon children and tiny fish ... turn off the faucet while brushing your teeth

also i think im brushing too vigorously



Soulwax always has some pretty interesting videos (aka this one) ... even if you don't listen to the music (if you have sudden urges to punch cartoon children or any sort of children when you hear any techno ... then please don't listen) the video is pretty informative ... im not trying to make any statement putting this video on here ... i just found it interesting ... i usually run to their music ... because of the really intense beat and what not ...

i can't spell ananimous

I'm pretty much convinced that my painting is just getting worse ... but the painting teacher seems to like it now ... although my painting seems to be turning to crap ... i had my first good day in painting class ... i dont know why ... i wasnt completely lost and constantly told that i have horrible visualization skills ... so it was a good day ...

Lately ive been listening to NPR ... well twice ... but ive decided to share some of the info i picked up from listening:
1. Motorcycles are loud
2. China is dirty
3. The economy is a bitch

As I was sitting in the cafeteria today at dinner eating my topless broccoli (yes thats right ... the broccoli was topless ... it was only the broccoli stems ... it's also a dirty pirate hooker) and mystery meats ... i was thinking about how since i came to college ... meals are no longer enjoyed ... they are slightly dreaded ... and something to be wolfed down before you can even taste it ... and i decided to slow down a little ... i tried my best to enjoy this odd meal ... i made a huge mistake



this song ive had stuck in my head all day ... so i looked for the video ... and it's super creepy ... and it kind of freaks me out ... just a bit ... it's a great song ... or at least i think so ... and i thought the video would be awesome because it's a drawing ... but it's weird ... it's just really really weird ... so i figured i would just add another video ... of a different song ... with the same name ... but it turns out that this next one is just as weird ... less weird ... but still pretty weird

i've decided for today's post that i'm going to share some of my wisdom with all of you people out there ... but i lost the notecard that had all this wisdom written down ... which made me a little sad at first but then i realized that whoever found my notecard got some really excellent tips for life in general ... lucky for yall ... i vaguely remembered what was written on this card ... something along the lines of "Sniff the milk before you drink it" ... and "Ask someone if you can hold their hand while crossing the street" ... it's a super special awkward pick up line and a helpful safety tip

Also i've decided to include my most random thought of the day ... but i thought about this yesterday (by the way i spelled yesterday wrong on the last post ... saturday and yesterday always throw me off) ... so here it is ... the most random thought i had: "clearly the duck was offended" ...

So I originally picked Land of a Thousand Words by the Scissor Sisters to be my video for today's post ... but (yeah i know ... another saga) apparently for that video you have to request to embed it ... so i did what most would call a "cop out" and choose another video ... this one is the first Scissor Sisters song i heard and how i fell in love with them ... and how ive gotten others (4 people so far) to fall in love with them ... this is one of those songs that i turn up really loud and sing along to in my car ... and if people look at me funny i roll down my window and sing to them ...
this video is wonderful and hilarious ... and the song is more than amazing ...
