Amy Winehouse, dead at 27


Is anyone tricked into using narcotic substances? Especially celebrities? Is anyone ever handed something and told it’s sugar and then BAM – addicted for life? Or does everyone choose to have this burden on them out of pure selfishness with no regard to for, obviously themselves, but more importantly: the people around them?

If the cause of death is what we all expect it to be, people should be more angry than they are sad. When you are a public figure with fans, you owe it to they who gave you your lifestyle and livelihood to not destroy yourself.

Is it in bad taste to talk badly about someones drug related death? To their mom, yes. To your own friends or others not personally involved? eff no. The facebook friend above continued to say that derogatory comments about Winehouse are “just rude and bad manners. And it speaks to your character.”, but I dont see how speaking of someones bad character speaks badly of your character. if thats the case then you have bad character for speaking about the bad character of the people speaking about Winehouses bad character. it never ends…

The series of choices it takes to get yourself addicted to deadly drugs is worthy of scorn and ridicule. especially when youre a public figure because you’re breaking that many more hearts by destroying yourself. fuck Winehouse.

Idk anything about Harry Potter, but this is still funny:

Myspace Changes to mimic Facebook. Again.

The new layout goes back to the 3 column design, making the 3rd rightmost a music bar, displaying what your friends listened to recently. I have been saying for 2 years now that Myspace needs to make its comeback by going back to its music & comedian roots. This music bar should also include music videos and comedian audio and video. FREE ADVICE, Myspace… you should take it.

Stay with your dogs as they die

You know those anonymous post cards that i forget the details about but people would send in saying random things they learned about life or personal secrets or world truths or whatever? read this one and feel your soul collapse into itself like a black hole of Sadz:

Extra crusher (for me): the pup behind the card-in-the-card looks a lot like my yellow lab, Buddy, who died a few days after Christmas in 09, so I was still at my parents house when he went and it just so happened that it was right before my dad left for work so the 3 of us were all around him, giving him a comforting pet as he sailed off into the blackness.

The thought of an animal, whose world is so limited as to not know much OF a world beyond its owner, being without that owner as it possibly panics or feels abandoned as its life fades away = heartbreaking 🙁

UPDATE: visual reference/remembrance of Buddy:


Pie thrown at Murdoch

Rupert Murdoch was attacked by a protestor wielding a shaving foam pie as he gave evidence at the Culture Media and Sport committee on phone-hacking.
His wife Wendi Deng was quick to defend her husband.

Leaving the rest of us to wonder:

Or was it all planned as a Murdoch publicity conspiracy to divert the headlines away from his non-admissions of any guilt or responsibility and onto some kook who got bitchslapped by Mrs Murdoch?

Planking vs Owling

Since this “craze” has lasted more than a week, I feel obligated to mention its existence for the history records: Planking is a thing where people lay down and take a picture of it and for some reason that is supposed to be a hilarious inside joke. Even though, i’m sure it can be, sarcasm aside. It’s easy to be snide about humor you’re not part of or don’t get, but whatever makes the kids happy, I say go for it. It’s still weird though. But if you see some of the more unusual ones, you can kindov imagine how this could be a silly thing thats fun enough to be a legit thing that people do. I mean..watch this video and try to keep a cynical eye on this fad:

It’s all about the unusual (i think) so I can dig that. Unless only the unusual ones are getting the media attention. then thats lame. but if im understanding it correctly – a plank on a bed or couch would only be posted ironically.

But if you think laying flat on things can’t be dangerous, guess again. This dude died trying to plank on a 7th story balcony.

Then of course, there’s this: Continue reading Planking vs Owling
