What up everybody so glad you're here, its Coolio to put the flow back in your ear. Its been a little while since the last blog (its amazing how many people bothered to come here to read it), and a couple things need to get addressed. 1. Ilana got Omeed the I heart boobies T-shirt and I was notified of this at lunch yesterday. Way to go Ilana. 2. I don't blog everyday like another Live Journal user that may or may not be on your buddy list. He has something a topic to talk about every day. I don't. My mind isn't capable of such production. 3. For you drinking enthusiasts, I found this. The pictures are stupid, but it might be a good thing to try. With that said, we can get on with things.

I come to blog today with a theory - that being aside from technology, an overwhelming amount of the ideas thrust onto the world stage are being repeated and we are running out of original ideas. Everytime I see a movie, TV show, stand up routine, or commercial (aside from the rare brilliance of Super Bowl Sunday) I get an odd sense of deja vu. If you've been to the movies in the last 5 years, you've probably predicted silently (or if you are the horrible date that I am, aloud) how the movie will turn out. Good guys win, bad guys lose or die, someone learns a lesson, someone gets the girl. Just once I'd like to see a movie where the bad guys win, ALL of the good guys die with none of them making a heroic effort, the girl gets knocked up and left to raise her baby with her mom who has a crack habit, and everyone leaves the theater not feeling great about life. I'm just putting it out there, somebody run with it. The same blandness is on TV, exemplified with the reality show thing. Producers are like well we dont have anything, let's get some hot girl or guy to meet up with a bunch of desperate members of the opposite sex, watch them make fools of themselves, screw, say they are in love and put it on TV. I dunno sir, that seems kind of juvenile. Wait wait, we'll have roses to hand out too. Oh ok, that makes it classy. Print it. I guess the idea is that if you just put a bunch of people on tv with little direction some new stuff will come out. Its not touching me in the right spot but I guess its better than most movies. Stand up is one of the hardest facets of the entertainment industry because it is someone all alone with no one to play off of, and I have to give most comedians credit simply for getting up there. But if I watch comedy central presents and I see another comedian do a bit about how this is their first time in new york city and they took a cab from the airport what ensued, I think I will go into the profession myself because there seems to be a shit load of money in telling that story. Chris Rock, Robin Williams, Pablo Franciso, and the late Mitch Hedberg are some of my favorites, and I believe all of their styles to be distinctly original, check them out if you get a chance. In a world a little closer to you and me, the vintage trend is a great example on how the world is out of ideas. Important people get around a table to decide what is going to be cool (I imagine the roster to somehow include Henry Winkler and Mick Jaggar) and say, wow remember how cool stuff was when it was ripped and faded? We could SO pull that off again. Sweet, do it. and thus, vintage was born. Although the following the vintage trend allows me to buy T-shirts cheaper by shopping at thrift stores, I don't recall seeing anyone in the 70's going jeez these afros are getting kind of played. You know what we should bring back? The powdered wig. We've aren't working with very much these days. Keep in mind I've got no new society-enriching ideas bouncing around, its just a theory, one I'm sure that someone somewhere has stated before.

Peace
