Showing today's boy bands how it's done!



Again....my eighth grade class song of the year. Fourteen years ago. *sobs* God I am old!

Random Thoughts

I just read an article on ONTD about the Backstreet Boys doing an Old Navy commercial. I never thought I would ever hear anything about them again after they died off. I liked the Backstreet Boys back in the day. N Sync and 98 Degrees, too. I wasn't a huge boy band fanatic, but I did like them. I saw N Sync in concert 2 times. I always think I liked BSB better, though. My sister was the bigger N Sync fan. And even though I was only about 6, I was a huge New Kids On The Block fan, too. Had everything under the sun- posters, pins, dolls, shirts, towels, bedsheets, you name it.

And when I look at the girls today who love One Direction and stuff, it really isn't that much different. And at the same time, it's an entirely different world. Now we have social media. All the information I got on the boy bands of my day were through magazines, TVs, and books. Now fans can actually follow them on Twitter and everything. But the thing I wonder the most- did the fans of past boy bands act like the ones nowadays? I don't know, because we didn't have internet access and social media access like now. Were they as vicious? Did they rip apart members of the band, anyone acquainted with the band, significant others, nonfans, each other?

I honestly have never seen anything like One Direction and Justin Bieber fans. I don't which one is worse, although I'm leaning towards One Direction fans. I've come across some decent ones. I like a lot of the fans on ONTD. Some of their comments are hilarious, especially this one member who really REALLY likes Zayn. But these other ones....I don't understand how you can say you are a fan of a group, and then sit there and rip members of the group apart. No one says you have to like every member, but how can you say you are a fan and then hurl homophobic and/or racist insults or wish God would kill a member (yes, I have actually seen this)?

I probably shouldn't have laughed as hard as I did at that one Tweet in the link provided above that says "God please kill @Louis_Tomlinson for me". It really isn't funny.

And even the fans themselves are turning on each other. It's nuts. I read an article the other day about Louis (god, sad that I actually know all of their names) throwing a temper tantrum on Twitter about the whole Larry thing and I think he may have singled out one particular girl and now that girl supposedly is getting death threats from fans. What is wrong with these kids? I have never seen such hatred come from people like these kids. Except psychopaths. If I am having a bad case of feeling really batty, I just have to visit a 1D forum and I automatically feel sane again.

And look, I can't blame him for his frustration with some of the abuse he gets, but Louis is such a fucking drama queen. It honestly would not ever surprise me if he turned out to be the gay one. There is something about his mannerism, something I cannot put my finger on, that tells me to not ever be surprised if he comes out. And I know I am horribly stereotyping here, but he acts just like every bitchy gay guy I have ever been acquainted with. He needs to just stand there and look pretty, because frankly, he is the only one I can fantasize about sexually, even though he reminds me of something I would have walked into my first day of gym class in elementary school. He looks like a gym teacher. A female one!

I finally got to try Five Guys and honestly, I expected a lot more. Everyone I know raves like maniacs about their burgers, and I guess if you like fast food burgers, I could see how these would be considered OMG SO AWESOME. I generally don't like fast food burgers. Once in a while I might get one at BK, but generally I stick with chicken. It was good, but I still prefer burgers from places like Friday's and Longhorn. Those two are still the best bacon cheeseburgers I have ever had.

I bitched about going to that party on Saturday, but it ended up not being that bad (I still would have much rather have been in NYC, though). It was a gorgeous day and yes, there had been plenty of good food. Too many yellow jackets, though. And the most shocking part of the day was I wasn't the first one to start complaining that I wanted to go home. Generally I'm always the first one to start bitching that I want to go home.

My cousin's husband happened to mention at the party about his mancave. Ugh, I am so sick of that term! My brother-in-law has one. Practically every man seems to have one. And someone in this forum worded it perfectly: "The phrase "man cave" makes my skin crawl. It just brings to mind so many of the most irritating male stereotypes."

Random Thoughts

One night I had the radio on and "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" came on and I remembered that it was my eighth grade class song. And then I realized the song was 13 years old and I felt old.

*throws cane at computer monitor*

I am absolutely disappointed in Memebase. One of their memes is Bear Grylls and this whole "better drink my own piss" thing, because apparently he did that one time. Well, I found out from D-Listed that today is his birthday so I hopped right over to Memebase to see what kind of crazy submissions would be up for his birthday. Not one single one. I thought for sure there be at least one "it's my birthday, celebrate by drinking my own piss" or something.

God, is this week going to be over soon or what?!

So huzzah, Durrsey Shur is coming back to NJ. Guess I better get back to Seaside one last time before the madness starts up again. I don't understand why they ever went over to Italy anyway. They were clearly way out of their element over there. None of the residents living there seemed like they wanted them (we know the mayor probably didn't, judging by the strict rules he laid down). Every single picture I have seen of the cast has not one interaction with any Italians. Looks like the cast was constantly with American students abroad. It does not seem like they did anything over there that they could not have done here. And seeing some pictures of the girls that Sitcho has supposedly "hooked up" with, hell, maybe there is a chance he might find me attractive. Ha. Yeah. Right. Too many people tell me I am attractive, although frankly, it just goes in one ear and right out the other. I still want to bash the mirror with my bare fists every time I look in it. And frankly, I am surprised the show is even going to be having a 5th season, after the little bit I saw of the 3rd season, when it became The Ronnie And That Thing He Dates Drama Hour.

I might watch it once to see what went down between Ronnie and Sitch. One can only hope that this went down between the two of them (comment left by Double D):

I assume the hoodie is to hide the damage Ronnie did when he donkey punched the Sitch in the back of the head during one of their sweet, sweet guido love making sessions.

Bwahahahaahahahahaahahahaaha!

Somehow now I like the idea of Sitch and Ronnie better. Ah. One can fantasize, yes?

My WA left work early on Monday. She said she wasn't feeling good and hopefully didn't catch what was going around this office. I wanted to say to her, what is going around the office? There is nothing going around the office! My boss had a cold and my WA's friend- the one that she goes back to talk to for 40 minutes (1o minutes WA time)- had bronchitis (and has been hacking like the hounds of hell and driving me up the wall with it). And then today she is worried her boyfriend might have to have surgery and asked me is it wrong that the first thing she thought was there goes her sex life? Besides wanting to projectile vomit that this white trash bitch is getting laid and I am not, I wanted to say and there goes your weekly pregnancy scares as well. Someone seriously needs to sterilize this bitch, because she is too stupid to procreate. I actually shake in my boots (as should you) that one of these days she is going to fuck and it will actually take.

And speaking of TMI, if I do not go to the bathroom soon, I am going to go absolutely postal.
