I enjoyed this blog so I'm reposting it here on El Jay:
OK, a rare 2 1/2 blog week. After 2 semi-serious ones, wanted to get back to my usual nonsense.
Notes whilst watching the MTV VMA's at a bar Sunday night:
-Does anyone besides me think it's ironic MTV hosts these awards when MTV rarely shows videos anymore. They used to show videos 24/7, now it's all shows
-While I consider them punk-lite, I was happy to see Greenday do so well. Nice to see rock-n-roll still exists
-Ditto the Killers with their retro 80's Morrisey-esque sound
-Sean "Puffy/Puff Daddy/P Diddy/Diddy" Combs may be talented and somewhat charismatic but was totally not funny and boring as hell
-Did we really need to see MC Hammer?
-I always thought it was pronounce cain, not con-ye
-Ashlee Simpson is the Billy Carter, Don Swayze, or Frank Stallone of the Simpson brood
-I still have no idea what that "krump" thing was all about. No idea if it was good or bad as I don't know what they were trying to do (author's note: it was actually Krump dancing, apparently a dance troupe. I still had no idea what they were doing)
-If you've never heard or seen the R Kelly "Hiding in the Closet" videos/songs, they are the most singularly unintentially funny thing I've ever laid my eyes on
-It was poetic justice that Missy Elliot, hardly a size 2, won the best dance video
-Jamie Foxx really appeared to be slumming in retrospect
-Dane Cook, one of the funniest comedians going (and an Arlington home boy) BOMBED under the spotlight
-Snoop exudes cool more then anyone currently in Hollywood
-I can dance like Usher, but I don't like to show off
-2 words...Eric freakin Roberts!!!!
Since I'm sure no one else watched the show, this will fall on deaf ears, but I enjoyed it, so too bad
