i was watching a documentary on jazz, and how it was labled the devil's
music, and stuff like that and it just made me crack up. because it
exemplified how music always pushes the envelope. every bit of popular
was at one point new and upcoming fringe music that the established
powers labeled as immoral and wrong. it also kinda funny to me, how
every generation goes through the process of their elders railing
against their music, then when they grow up do the same thing. it's
funny to me how it goes in cycles with each generation doing to the
next what was done to them, seemingly forgetting where they came from.
it's just amusing how people will so easily do unto others what they
hated being done to them, and often not realize it, because they tell
themselves it's completely different when it's pretty much the same
thing. each generation has their limits. The adults in the 70s thought
shake your groove thing was horrific and scandalous, and yet most of us
barely bat an eye when presented with some of the ranchy lyrics of
today. i wonder what music will be in the future, what will make us
shake our heads in disgust, with our children vehemently protesting
againt our attempted censorship, i wonder if we too will have forgotten
how it felt to be on the other side.
now for the introduction of a new feature, the random rant of the
day.this will be a short rant that will appear in every post from now.
so without further ado:
Random Rant of the Day: Vh1
Does anyone else watch those vh1 list shows and just struggle with
their emotions? i sit through trash like "celebrity feuds" "battle of
the siblings" and i often just lose it when i see the 500th person
with "comedian/actor" under their name and start yelling "get a real
job you damn blood sucker". i always end up getting in trouble with my
grandmother which just gets me angrier. i just hope they arent getting
paid for that shit, because everyone and their mother does that shit
with their friends for free. another thing that gets me angry is all
the editors of like teen people and j-27 and t-14 that start giving
their "inside info" on celebs and shit. i always end up yelling "it's a
good thing your parents saved up to put you through journalism school
huh?, so you could kiss some anorexic ditz' ass, huh dipshit? " and
then my grandma comes and bitches at me again. So i basically have
given up on the list shows. unfortunately that's about all Vh1 plays
now( well that and d list celebrities embarrassing themselves), so i
dont watch vh1 anymore.
a Jehovah's witness once told my grandmother, "oh marie you are so
nice, even if you are not a true beleiver we'll take you with us to
heaven" yeah she's that nice
She's independent and self sufficient, and she modeled her hair
after miriam makeba, which caused people to label her a lesbian (even
with two daughters). she also learned to speak english in jamaica so
she has a moderate jamaican accent. much love grandma.
my Tatie (aunt) bichon, she checks people in at delta, and so she's met
a bunch of celebrities and athletes. she said that trick daddy was very
polite and nice despite looking thuggish, and that lil jon looked
unclean. ayo's always mad because she never gets autographs for her.
Sarah's whupping me in Halo, you can see the big grin on her face. Dumb beginner's luck wins every time man.
Ayo and sarah dont always get along as you can see.
we start em reading early in the jolibois household.
sarah's grill. two of those teeth she lost naturally, and the other two
she lost when, in a fit of rage, she bit into a leather couch,
unfortunately for her the teeth stayed on the couch.
i think the caffeine was a little too much for her. it keeps her up
real late. once i let her have a sip, and she called me at midnight
from her house "just to say hi". i learned my damn lesson real quick.
that it for now. bye y'all
