Blogging Like it's 2008!

In reviewing the trash litter of unused "blogs" that are out there in cyberspace, I decided to get out the Swiffer Dust Mop on this one, good ole "IComplain." The whole idea of "making money" by blogging through adsense and other nonSENSE, is like so 2004 now. I completely understand why some talented writers, who used to blog once a day, haven't touched their once regularly updated works for 3+ years in some cases. That, and the fact that your sole user/reader comments consist of long run on spam advertisements with random words put together in no apparent sequence (Latex Obama Bush Letterman Iraqi Freedom True Relgion Hannah Montana Snowboarding Says to Grow 8 Inches Larger Gas Prices SubPrime Mortage Equity Hybrid, etc etc), it becomes just a TAD disheartening. Well, just to throw a change up pitch into the world of Google and cyberspace, I don't want to put my handprint onto the tombstone of this blog JUST yet.

Volkswagen Commercial With the Obnoxious Horn Blowing

I cannot take this damn commercial. Who wants to hear horns blowing loudly on a commercial? Not to mention my dog goes nuts everytime this commercial airs (at least 3 times per hour) because she thinks it's my wife's car (my wife has a Volkswagen Jetta), so I have to deal with a maniacal dog running around the house and barking. The commercial is too goddamn loud, and I can't stand hearing the anti-theft horn blowing on my street or in a parking lot much less on a tv commercial. End this annoying travesty at once!

ESPN March Madness Opera Singer - I Can't Take It!

I can't take it....if you're watching these conference tournaments in NCAA basketball on ESPN there is this "Opera" style singer who looks like one of the Backstreet Boys that does the promos and sets the stage for matchups by singing terribly about the teams. "North Caro-liiiiina. Clem-son Tiiiiiigers." I don't know if it's supposed to be funny, which it's not, or if it's supposed to have a "cheesy" effect to it, which it really doesn't. It truly just comes off as awful. I sincerely hope this spot ends SOON. I hate to have my enjoyment of March Madness infringed upon my absurdities.

Is Blogging The New Pogo Bal?

Meaning is blogging a "once cool, now left for dead" thing of the past? Methinks so. I think I'd rather warp back to 1988 on my Pogo Bal and race my neighbor on his Roller Racer than continue to blog for the mythical "Adsense" cash that never seems to proliferate. This phenomenon is like SOOOO 2003!

"George Mason Is This Year's George Mason"

Just posting one of the funnier fan signs I've seen recently during the George Mason - William & Mary college basketball game tonight. Anyone who appreciates the sport and remembers GMU's run from a few years back should find this line pretty entertaining.

Hannah Montana vs. It's Your Move with Jason Bateman

I'm obviously exposing my age here...but the whole premise behind the mega-popular Disney show "Hannah Montana" reminds me a bit of one of my favorite 80's shows as a kid. Some of you may remember "It's Your Move" starring Jason Bateman. I distinctly remember episodes where the main character, Bateman's character (can't remember his name on the show for the life of me and really don't care to look it up at the moment), engineered a rock band that was made up of puppets who were controlled by electronics and people behind the scenes. The group was called the "Dregs of Society." And I also remember Bateman starring on some late night talk show to discuss the tragic car accident that "killed" all of the band members, thus ending the run of the "Dregs."

I don't know...I just see some parallels between the modern day Hannah show and her two personalities, Mylie vs. Hannah and the Dregs of Society. Call me crazy, or maybe it's as simple as I'm too damn old to be watching the Disney channel to begin with.

Vic Mackey from The Shield to Do Dunkin' Donuts Spot

Yes that's right, Michael Chiklis from the FX channel's popular series "The Shield" will be singing "I'm slightly more productive than I previously was" as he bashes the head of a drug dealer through a wall. "Doing things is what I like to DOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

This phenomenon is simply taking over.

Dunkin' Donuts Doing Things Is What I Like To Do...YES

I can't figure out if it's "YEEEEEESSSSSS!" or "YEPPPPPPP!" but it's entirely too annoying for me. I think the shared voice that everyone in the commercial sings in really kills me. Or perhaps it's the brilliant lyrics "I'm slightly more productive than I previously was. I'm slightly more efficient than I previously was." It's simply beautiful poetic genius....Wordsworth would be insanely jealous. For the record, I've never seen a street full of happy donut eating, singing, smiling people all doing backbreaking and unrewarding labor. Hell, I don't sing nor smile and I do easy office work. It must be the donuts, yes that's it.
