Da'reference

Punchpunchpunchpunchmadison.

I've come to the realization that very little I say is an authentic thought.

The majority of my time speaking is composed of making references to popular culture. I'd say that about 60% of what I say is quoting or talking about something I saw on TV, imdb, or read in a blog.

For example,

"Hey so-and-so have you seen the new [insert any youtube video]? O You haven't, well it was referenced on [insert some NBC show] because [insert some SNL castmember] co-wrote it with [insert British actor].

"Have you read [insert obscure comedian's] new book? Yah, it's published by this vegan book grower that supports [insert unknown comedy club] and they're thinking of making it into a movie starring [insert big name comedian] but they're not sure who will adapt it for the screen yet."

"O Hey blah-de-blah, did you know that [insert teen celebrity] is dating [insert another teen celebtrity]? O you didn't, well aparently they are doing a reality show now on [insert either MTV or VH1], yah they met when they both were on [insert award show] but aparently he was cheating on [insert another teen celebrity]. Drama!"


This is what I do with my life, gather USELESS trivia and then assume that other people care about Miley Cyrus, MTV, and Andy Samberg as much as I do.

But I'm not the only one like this, there are more of you like me out there...so what's the appeal? Why does knowing alot about things that don't matter make us happy!?! Or does it? Are we so insecure that if we keep referencing superficial elements of the zeitgeist that we will never have to look deep into ourselves and produce a shred of authenticity???...Nawww....

How does quoting "Jizz in My pant's" with your co-workers help you bond? Why does comparing Jonas Brothers with your gal pals create comraderie? Why do strangers suddenly become best friends when one quotes something from "Rushmore" - "omigod, you like Wes Anderson too! I love him..now what is your stance on the Gaza fiasco?"

Maybe I'm just writing this because I'm killing time and re-reading old "stuff white people like" entries...(Christian Lander of SWPL has opened my eyes to my elitism and mediocrity so hard...read his blog if you want to laugh your face off then feel horribly unoriginal. )

Despite the posting of this blog, it will not stop me from making lame/annoying references to "Twilight," "30 rock," "Gossip Girl," or the Disney channel. Get excited, stay tuned, and aloha mora!

Last night I sawr a film,

Ed Westwick v. RPatz Revisited, Civilly

This morning I received a melodramatic facebook message from fellow writer M.L. Vanderberg concerning the reception of blogpost #Most comments posted.

Apparently, Madison received quite a bit of hate mail from a few 'girls'? who felt the need to raise the iron fist in defending the two honourable man-actors and their personal lives.

In Madison's defense, however, Edward Westwick and Robert Pattinson had it coming. From the start of their dreamy good looks (i imagine they came into their own around the age of 15-16) women around the globe swooned and drooled over their irresistible glory and British charm. And who doesn't love a man with an accent and a flawless-seeming face/body/mostly face?

I think Madge bit the butt of the cig when she sang ARC's number-one single of '85 "Material Girl". We LOVE diamonds, who doesn't enjoy man jewels? Mancessories?? Mancandy for the eyes and arms???

The luring effect of Pattinson and Westwick has even become heightened in the past four or so months, what with the release of sci-fi teen-romanticle hit (dare-i-say) "Twilight" and the hot topic of highschool lunch breaks "Gossip Girl", number one guide to O-M-G AWH NO YOU DIN'T drama.

Much like the media's craving for the sizzling JoBros and Perez's attention on Victoria Beckham, Yours Trulies at D.P. don't mind if we spill a bit of paint on the carpet from time to time and muddy up the front porch with sexy man comparisons (i like number 7). If anything, they should feel flattered that we think of them so highly as to grace them with an article.

To those who felt flustered by Madison's post: If there was some sort of misconception that D.P. is ALL business...Girls, perhaps you should spend a little less time worrying about our media ramblings and more on this website

Addendum 1/12: Looking back at their comments, I get the feeling that they were hating moreso on the other girls who commented than on the bloggeurs (us) themselves.
