It’s the new guy

Hey, I’m the new guy…that guy that you don’t wanna talk to, that guy that’s looking at you creepy…that’s me. Some call me “butter”, some call me “their hero,” but whatever floats your boat…

Ya, so, I don’t know much about the whole ‘blogging’ revolution, (or cult following it seems) but it looked good to me so I apologize if my ‘blogging’ skills aren’t as finely tuned.

I’m sure you all aren’t wondering how in the world I got my ‘butter’ name, so I’ll tell you anyways. No, it’s not because I’m some horribly fat human with cholesterol oozing out of his pores, it’s because I like making no sense at times, kind of like Gary Busey or Ricky Williams. You’re right, I do take the occasional cheap shot here and there, but shots are meant to be taken on these people…am I right? As far as I’m concerned, if you’re blatently out of your mind, you need to be made fun of. Because bringing them down and possibly closer to earth is always a good thing…because most of the people like them are waiting for the gold covered spaceship with William Shatner and Spock holding lightsabers in their hands, so they can ascend to the planet –insert planet here–. I’m not saying it couldn’t happen…I’m just saying it’s unlikely…

Now that I’m done with my rant, I can talk about things that make me stop, think, and giggle inside. (Doctors say giggling inwardly is 10x more effective than regular laughter) When I was watching Sportscenter, as I do everyday, I noticed that Carlos Beltran was listed as ‘day-to-day’ and I thought, “Isn’t everyone listed as day-to-day?” Then I giggled and cursed the unthoughtfulness behind the reporters words.

Speaking of reporters (Caution: rant ahead) I’m getting sick of news programs that spend months covering one story that progresses so slow you’d think it was being consistently shot with a high powered rifle. For example, the ‘Missing Girl in Aruba’ story was on FOREVER, it was about as hard to dodge as a 50ft wide dodgeball. Everytime you turned on a news channel this is what you heard, “How is the story in Aruba coming along? We’ll tell you after your ears stop bleeding from our repetitiveness.” It’s like they are oblivious to the fact that real news is happening all around them, but they are too uncreative and lazy to find it.

Seems like American media is in need of a desperate creativeness overhaul. How many remakes of movies/television shows did we see this summer? Hmm…lets see there was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Dukes of Hazzard, Bad News Bears etc. Is it really that hard to think of an original plot? I guess some people still eat it up though, because these movies make millions but all I see behind it is a fat businessman behind a desk laughing, saying, “Do you think they will notice that it’s the same re-hashed plot?”

Hopefully I’ve opened someone’s eyes to the repetiveness of the media, and maybe we can boycott it and ‘bring down the big businesses’…I wish that actually worked. Seems like the more people fight against something the more attention it gets, therefore the more popular it gets, leading finally into a massive finacial or some sort of positive gain for the very thing you were ‘fighting’ against.
