(FOUR) IS KANYE WEST PLOTTING A TAKEOVER?
I’m fairly certain Kanye West is plotting something. He released some huge albums and made himself one of the biggest stars in entertainment. His antics would get him some flack, but in the long run all it did was make his name known to more and more people. Then it seems like out of nowhere that he decided to be the Robin to Jay Z’s Batman. He seems to come off as if he lives to serve Jay Z. It’s gotten really really sad. Kanye West lost his identity… or DID HE? He’s not a dumb man by any stretch so one must wonder if he’s up to something. Is he trying to sneak in there, see what Jay Z is doing, and then BAM! Takeover! Almost like he knows that Jay Z is the king right now so he’s doing this grand “now the student IS the teacher” type of scheme. Hmmm…
(THREE) DO YOU REALLY NEED THAT NEW PHONE?
A cell phone is a perfectly acceptable device. I don’t subscribe to its social handcuffing, but I’m not against them. I AM against the excess. People who convince themselves they need the latest and greatest device out there of they are less of a person. The screen is bigger, but it’s smaller. It’s clearer than Blu-ray. It’s got better speed internet than most schools did ten years ago. You have a phone. You can call people and check things on the internet at all times. Why go that extra mile to make humanity look stupid and pety? Research the crazy amount of suicides at the “working community” that makes those iPhones. Is a centimeter of bigger screen really worth all of that?
(TWO) WILL KIDS IN THE FUTURE TALK TO EACHOTHER WITH WIFI SOUP CANS?
Forever children have played “telephone” with two tin cans and a long string. The magic in this is that you can supposedly hear people on the other side. It works in the movies. With technology starting to go ape shit little kids have cell phones. I sadly think this question answers itself. The days of “soup can telephones” are dying. Sell your stock now!
(ONE) WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT NOVEMBER RAIN?
I love me some Guns N’ Roses. I’m even one of those apologist fans who still think Axl Rose is great. He’s off his kilter, but that is what we all loved about him when he was being a dick and Slash was being drunk all the time. Slash got sober and Axl’s still a dick. That’s fine. I’m a huge Slash fan too. This is all off topic though. What the hell is so special about “November rain”? It’s a great song, but the idea behind it is lost on me. Rain in any month can suck, be romantic, or be dramatic. It’s all context.
