Ugh

As per my usual routine, I visited all my usual web sites when I came home. One of which is MGMT's Twatter page. All I have to say is WUT.

Look, I am not going to knock Andrew for having an opinion on what I assume is to be Ferguson and the whole police brutality thing. What I have an issue with is him complaining about others not speaking out. I'm sorry, why do people need to have an opinion and/or speak out on this? Maybe, just maybe, some people don't truly have an opinion on it. Maybe people don't have an opinion on it BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT THERE TO KNOW THE TRUE STORY. Like 99.9% of things in life, I am very ambivalent towards the case. Honestly, I don't think Michael Brown was entirely innocent in the whole thing, but I also don't think the cop was in the right either. Then again, I am not a cop, so what do I know when my life is being threatened? If it really was being threatened? Again, I was not there so I don't truly know what was going on between the 2 men.

The Eric Garner case, I am more inclined to form an opinion. I think that whole entire situation was just disgusting. The guy was repeatedly saying he couldn't breathe, for the love of God.

The only thing I am sure of is I do believe that racial profiling exists big time. And I disagree with the destructive rioting and looting. The cynic in me wonders how many of the people rioting and looting really give a flying fuck about the case. I seen a picture of a woman crying whose bakery was destroyed by these assholes and I felt so bad for her. I was glad to read a few days later that more than $200,000 was raised for her to rebuild her business.

Or maybe some people won't put out an opinion because they know whatever they say will be met with criticism. This is one of those situations where no matter which side you take, you're going to get reamed out by someone for it. And I think even if Taylor Swift was to say something about it, someone would eventually tell her she's just a basic white bitch who needs to sit down. I don't doubt it for one second. I can just see all the privileged white girl social justice warriors on ONTD losing their FREAKING minds at her. I can also see those same bitches tearing Andrew another asshole just for the sole reason of being a white boy. So, in the end, there is no win.

And clearly Andrew doesn't pay attention to shit, because if he did, he would know that Wayne Coyne is too busy partying with Miley Cyrus to offer an opinion on the whole situation.

ETA 9:40PM: This didn't occur to me until just now, but a big thing being posted on my local news' Facebook page when all the rioting and shit started was a picture of Autumn Pasquale and something about how when she was killed, no one rioted. If no one knows the story, she was a white tween girl killed by 2 black teen boys. Yes, it is true, no one did riot. Instead, Mommy and Daddy want to sue the police for not doing enough. That is just laughable. They found that girl in about 48 hours, give or take. That town was torn right side up to find her. And no matter when they found her, she would have been dead.

That story made me aware of just how true that whole thing about white girls missing being big news. During the same time she was missing, this absolutely adorable baby Indian girl was kidnapped and I barely heard squat about her.  Every so often my local news would report on it, but not nearly as much as Autumn Pasquale and it pissed me off that the news didn't follow it more. Sadly, she ended up being found dead, but her killer, who I think was her uncle or something and had also killed the baby's grandmother, was just recently sentenced to death. One of the few times I fully support the death penalty.

Frickin' Hell, Folks

I just sat through a little bit of the Billboard "Music" Awards waiting for Imagine Dragons to perform and JFC, what a nightmare. Thank God I didn't have to wait long. I don't know how anyone watches or even stans for some of these "artists". Reading through some of the "artists" people on a certain gossip site are excited over is just....FFS, people. People are actually excited to see Miley Cyrus perform with the Flaming Lips? And that reminds me- I saw an article one day that apparently the "Lucy" cover is going to be Virus, the Flaming Lips, and Moby. Does that mean Andrew backed out of that mess? God, I hope so. He'd be smart to.

And J Lo getting an icon award? Of all of the talented women artists out there, how does she end up being the first to receive one? What is a fucking joke.

I was listening to my headphones yesterday and "Your Life Is A Lie" popped up and I thought, imagine if MGMT got Dan Reynolds to play the giant cowbell? That would be one of the greatest things I have ever seen in my life.

As Promised/The WTF Of The Day

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS BULLSHIT?!

The Flaming Lips and Miley Cyrus Covering the Beatles With MGMT's Andrew VanWyngarden

This pains me to speak ill, as "Vaseline" will always be a part of my childhood, but....has Wayne Coyne lost his fucking mind or something? Seriously, dude. What are you, like 50? And you're taking drugs with some no talent hick who is just slightly over legal? And out of all of the people in the world with actual talent, THIS is who you choose to collaborate with?

But the worst part of all....oh, Andrew.....PERCHÉ?!

Random Thoughts

This neck pain needs to go away. Now I don't know whether it is a sprain or a strain, but I was reading about neck sprains and it was not very encouraging. Most symptoms will decrease in 4-6 weeks? Are you kidding me? It hasn't even been a week and I am already annoyed. I don't think I can take another 3 to 5 weeks of this pain. I like how some of the symptoms listed are irritability, fatigue, difficulty sleeping and difficulty concentrating. I have been extremely irritable, yes, between having my period and this pain. Also due to being exhausted from not sleeping due to not being able to sleep properly. No matter how I lay, it irritates my neck even more.

I don't know why, but every time I manage to injure something, I get incredibly irritable and sullen. It's like my body being injured somehow personally offends me or something.

I still cannot figure out how I could have possibly strained/sprained my neck from having a panic attack. But it had to be from that, because not long after it happened, I started having pain. And I don't want to do anything wrong with getting this to heal and mess up my neck. I already screwed up by not icing it in the beginning. Wish I would have spent a little more time Googling neck sprain or strain instead of meningitis and West Nile virus. Cripes, if someone needed solid evidence that I could very well be a hypochondriac, I would print out my entire Google search history.

I was reading an article on Cracked earlier about horrible people and one of the listed was perfectly able bodied people parking in handicapped spots. And while I certainly agree it isn't right, especially when some of the sights I see parking in them, the argument is a little tiresome. Clearly people are still going to be assholes and do it. And if anything is offensive when it comes to handicapped parking, it's when I see a car parked crookedly and on the lines where a wheelchair lift or ramp can come out. THAT is offensive. How is someone in a wheelchair supposed to get out if a car is parked in the lines? And most of the time it is done by some enormous boat driven by some fossil that probably has no business on the road in the first place.

And speaking of taking up closer parking spots, I won't even get started on those stupid "mother with small children" spots. Give me a fucking break.

I thought about watching them, but I decided against watching the MTV Music Awards this year. No MGMT, no Of Monsters and Men, no fucks given. I was far more interested in watching the Futurama marathon and listening to the New Music Show, which featured "Your Life is a Lie" again. I did receive a text message at one point from my sister, who was watching it, telling me to put it on and see Miley Cyrus. I just can't even muster enough energy to rip into that mess. Plus, if I spend time talking about it, then I am giving her exactly what she wants- attention. All I can say is that girl is repulsive on so many levels. She has a wicked case of the try hards. It actually personally offends me that she is more popular than my favorite bands.

My sister and brother-in-law were stanning for Bruno Mars earlier. Ugh, I do not get the big deal with him. I think he is talented, but his music.....you can have it. I was forced to listen to the CD one day when I was in the car with them and I wanted to jump out so bad. His music always reminds me of doo-wop, which I grew up listening to and actually still liked....until a few years ago. Now every time I listen to it, I want to stab my eardrums. So maybe once upon a time I would have liked his music. Well, there was that one I did like a couple years ago, "The Other Side".

It's weird how music taste can change. Like I used to love listening to Billy Joel, but now his music seriously annoys me.

The weather has been really nice the past couple days and now it's going to get warm again. And there is talk of possible severe weather on Tuesday and/or Wednesday. Yay. Can we please be done with the severe weather? I know last year we had two instances in September of moderate risk severe weather days. Also, I think that one tornado warning last year was in September as well. It would be nice if either of those didn't happen again. However, now it's time to worry about hurricanes, tropical storms, frankenstorms, etc. Damn, it's a shame no one decided to officially call Sandy Frankenstorm Sandy instead of Superstorm Sandy.

Goddammit, I dread going to sleep tonight.

The Bitch, Please! Of The Day

Hillbilly Ray Cyrus on his dumb cunt of a daughter's lap dance:

It's what people her age do.

Actually, no they don't. But I guess I know that since I am not inbred.

Every day in work, I hear that aural holocaust "The Climb" and....good god, she has a horrible voice. Just terrible. Give it up already. And what is up with this new "look"? Lemme guess. She is trying to be outrageous and unique. Let's run through the list. Skimpy outfits- check. Risque dancy- check. Giving more weight to the religious right argument that homosexuality is not something you are born with by making out with another chick- check.

*yawns loudly* Seen it already. Newsflash- it has been done. One hundred million times over. It is not unique. It's Britney Ya'll, Christina Aguilera, Madonna, Lady Gaga, etc. Miley, you most certainly are not Lady Gaga or Christina Aguilera, who, while incredibly annoying, can actually sing. One morning I saw the video for the "Tame" song, or whatever it is called, and it was the most ridiculous piece of crap I have ever seen. I think I got cancer from watching it.

What's next? Her music will suddenly become artsy and deep? Bwahahahaha! Yeah, because "The Climb" is just so deep. I am sure 95% of real people want to hear some ugly buck-toothed inbred 17 year billionaire Disney spawn whine about how fucking hard her life is. Wah!

I am so sick of this trend of no pants and bathing suit outfits. It's stupid looking. I didn't even like it when the goddess herself partook in it. Put some fucking pants on!

I don't understand how she ever got famous anyway. It must be due to Daddy Dearest. Nowadays, to be famous, you have to be related to someone else famous, have looks, or do stupid shit. Having talent is not the way to be fame and fortune anymore. I love Carly Simon, but can you imagine her trying to get a record deal nowadays? Miley didn't do stupid shit when she started out, she has no talent, and she certainly does not have the looks. That leaves being related to someone famous. Someone who was a one hit wonder and had a mullet's mullet. I'd rather hear 24 hours of "Achy Breaky Heart" than any of her abominations.

Nine years ago I never dreamed I would say this- I would take 6,000 more years of It's Britney Ya'll if Miley Cyrus would lose her fortune and drop off the face of the earth. Hell, I'll even go to a concert. I swear, ever since It's Britney Ya'll went batshit, I gained some respect for her.

And by the way, It's Britney Ya'll called. She wants her CD cover back.

Signs Of The Apocolypse

Or that American's taste in entertainment has bit rock bottom.

I have the Soup on right now and have just learned that Miley Cyrus beat out Bruce Springsteen for some best song or some other shit at the Mtv awards. Really? Bruce Springsteen? Miley Cyrus? Now I am not a fan of Bruce Springsteen, although I do like a couple of songs by him, but....seriously? In 20 years, are people even going to remember who Miley Cyrus is?
