My Random Take On What's Trending

-



When visiting Twitter I'm often nauseated by the trending topics. There is a weird mixture of breaking news and mundane, uneducated live TV tweeting that makes me lose some hope in humanity. I decided that I would take on each of the major trending topics in the USA with my own tweet here on my blog. This promises to be stupid, so if you stop reading from here, I would not blame you.

#DontBotherMeWhenIm
Jake and Fitz
#MyRepliesToTextsWhenImMad
Chino y Nacho
#FakeRightWingHagelStories
#Moda25
Mi Nina Bonita
#Scandal
Scott Foley
Mac Miller

#DontBotherMeWhenIm - I gave this one a lot of thought and have two answers: takin' a dump! or trying to think of a witty answer to this stupid fill in the blank...thing.

Jake and Fitz - I realize I have the power of Google here to look that up, but I have no clue who they are. I'm going to take a wild guess that it's a team of private investigators that run their business behind a Ben and Jerry's. 

#MyRepliesToTextsWhenImMad - OMG U HTR HOW DARE U TXT ME IM SO MAD 

Chino y Nacho - I can't touch this one, I'll appear to be completely racist. I'll take another guess. Chino and Nacho are a law firm specializing in car accidents and food poisoning cases. I'm also suddenly craving cheese. 

#FakeRightWingHagelStories - Oh, a political hashtag. I love politics! Chuck Hagel was nominated to serve as Secretary of Defense despite his admitted lack of real world DOD experience and probable disdain for an ally in the Middle East. I must make up something witty because evil dumb conservatives have the audacity to try to vet this guy for his job. The nerve! 

#Moda25 - This is more like it. More stupid crap that I have no idea about. This looks like an MMA thing. Maybe this guy Chino is taking on this guy Nacho to the death or something. Sorry, I have no idea. In reality looking up this hash tag would probably fry my remaining two brain cells. 

Mi Nina Bonita - My beautiful daughter. That's sweet. Maybe it's a song. It would probably sound pretty and make me cry if I knew what they were saying. My 4 years of Spanish class failed me big time.

#Scandal - This one boggles my mind. I know it's an ABC drama, but the people that watch it tweet out every detail. It's insane! Thank the good lord there's hash tag blocking or I would lose my mind. I have a feeling they try very hard to be a modern Melrose Place. 

Scott Foley - He's an actor and I bet you he's on Scandal which would explain why females in my timeline are constantly talking about #Scandal. After all, he was in The Unit.

Mac Miller - No idea. Probably television related as well. 

I don't want to come across as too elitist, but trending topics tend to show the best and worst in this or any social network that maintains such metrics. If Twitter were to run some kind of word cloud on the nonsense I tweet about, it would probably be just as ignorant as the rest, so be it very far from me to judge.

Last Night

I had a ball last night! Janine picked me up from work and we headed to Regency to grab some food and pick up James , who come to find out is a huge Sevendust fan and a lot of fun to hang with, more on that later. We headed to the Innsbrook Pavilion which looks really nice as far as outdoor venues go. There was your typical heavy police and security force there, and I don't blame them considering the copious amounts of alchohol that was being consumed by everybody. There was some band playing already out of Boston, but I wasn't impressed. Come to find out later the guy I was headb anging with during Sevendust was their guitarist. Soil came on next and I'm sold. I had doubts about their new lead singer, but he had a lot of energy. By the end of the set he was down in the circle moshing with the kids and hippies who paid for those tickets. As it started to get dark, Sevendust came out and blew me away again! The entire show was good. There's never a dull moment between th...

For My Friend

I moved to Richmond in September, full of aprehension. Many of you by keeping up with my story know full well the ups and downs that I have faced. I was very fortunate to land a great job in October. After a lot of rejection, and fear for losing everything I started my new job with that same fear I had when I moved to this city. I was crammed in an office with Kelly Stern. He is such a kind, patient, gentle soul. He showed me around and I got comfortable working there really fast. I smile when I remember one of my coworkers talking about us giggling in there all day. I had fun those days. It did not take me long to find out that Kelly was gay. He mentioned living with Jeff, and I put two and two together fast. Kelly listened to my troubles, and gave me sound, firm advice. He has been so helpful to me also by taking me home from work almost every day and taking me by the grocery store to get supplies. I would not still be here if it was not for his help. I cannot think of a way to ...

Here's a rundown of what I've been doing over the past several days: P layed with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, pla yed with my iPo d, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, and played with my iPod. I know, I've been slacking on the blogging, I've slacked on my radio station. I suck. The station is back on the air again, so please tune in, metalheads. I'm obviously updating the blog now, so that takes care of two birds with one big, smooth, stone. New Year's came and went pretty quick. Janine and I hopped in the PT Cruiser and rode to Easton, Maryland to party with her friends. I had such a good time with them. I can see w hy Janine is so close to them. They're all so laid back and fun and genuine people. We all got pretty tipsy...
