What it is right now?! I am back once again and this makes….four in a row? Maybe five; I seem to have lost count. Either way, it is good to be back up.
So I am feeling better. I despise going to the doctor but was going to go yesterday if I wasn’t feeling better. Luckily, I wasn’t bad at all this morning so I don’t think I need to go. Which is good because I really didn’t want to have to go to a doctor and hear the regular shit. So to feel better, it is time for some….
Chachi’s Random Thoughts!
Random Thought #1: What In The Fuck Happened To R&B?
You know, with the R. Kelly trial FINALLY starting up (Guess I was wrong about that one. I really thought they were just going to dismiss the charges) I am realizing that the state of R&B really has hit rock bottom. Remember the 80’s? We had:
• Alexander O’Neal
• Freddie Jackson
• Anita Baker
• Babyface
• Jody Whatley
• Patti LaBelle
• LeVert
Those days are over. Now we are stuck with T-Pain, Akon and whatever the hell a Pretty Ricky is. Do they even try anymore? I mean even compared to the 90’s, in which the decline of R&B began mostly due to the popularity of New Jack Swing (W00T!) and gangsta rap (N0T W00T!) there was still tolerable if not great R&B. From Boyz II Men to Toni Tone Tony to En Vogue to even Hi-Five (Rest in peace, Tony Thompson!) the groups were better:
Maybe I am too old for my own good but I am rather disappointed in what I have to call “Black music” anymore. I don’t like to say that but my parents had Marvin Gaye, The Temptations (Listen to the later work, it helped spark the movement) and of course Bob Marley. Now these artists are relegated to being sampled by shitty rappers (Not even Kanye or Lupe) or played by bros. God damnit! What music do I have to hold on to that helped kick off change?! “Love In The Club” by Usher?! NIGGA PLEASE! R&B sucks and the fact that no one is willing to change it is annoying. I guess niggas don’t want “What’s Going On” or “Fight The Power” as their ringtones.
Random Thought #2: I’m Straight But….Being Gay Is FAB!
Back when I was in college due to my activism (Before I became a tool for the man and The Revolution was in full swing) I was friends with several gay men. I was straight and they knew that but I would hang out with them as well as lesbians. It got to the point that I had more gay friends than all my other friends combined. You know what? I liked it better that way. Being gay is fucking awesome! You get faboo clothes, you can dance to happy hardcore and Cher without getting looked at like a freak and of course you can scream “Ooohh-a ooohh-a!” without sounding like you are hungry for the cock. For those of you that don’t know that sound effect, check Caramelledansen for the 100th time on this blog:
Now the whole gay sex thing doesn’t intrigue me but at the same time I find sex with women scary, foreign and icky so it could actually work if I wasn’t so damn awesome. I mean, who WOULDN’T want to make me their plaything? Curse these roguish good looks! CURSE THEM!
Random Thought #3: American Idol Is Still On?!
So someone told me as I was picking up dogfood that American Idol’s finale was on last night. Well…um….really? I guess I have given up on reality TV shows not called “America’s Best Dance Crew” but I just don’t get what the big deal is STILL with reality shows. I mean, honestly. If you watch “The Hills” you are a fucking moron. I don’t give a fuck if I haven’t seen it. If I wanted to see White bitches acting stupid I would either go to the fucking club or watch Hillary Clinton’s stupid ass. Are White people that damn bored that they have to film reality and block it into 22 minute increments broken up by commercials for Axe Body spray and Herbal Essence shampoo? Now I am guessing on that but I am pretty fucking sure I am dead on with that one.
What in the fuck happened to shows with actual scripts? It is shit like MTV that requires little brain capacity and NO ATTENTION SPAN WHATSOEVER that has caused shows like “Scrubs” and “Futurama” to get cancelled. Oh, and for those of you that say “I watched Scrubs! I’m not stupid!” all I have to say is you didn’t watch it when it was fucking new; instead you were watching The Bachelor or Temptation Island instead so it got cancelled…then brought back….then cancelled again. Your dumb ass watches SYDICATION which is not the same thing. Jackasses. To this day I do not know why there was a writers strike when there were only five shows with actual fucking writers on TV anyway. The dumbening of America continues.
Oh, and for you fuckers that say “Hey, you watch Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Venture Brothers! Those are high-brow shows!” remember than the majority of cartoons have not only pop culture references but nods to classic literature, television and cinema. I guarantee you that the average fan of the Tila Tequila show wouldn’t get one third of the referncees in an episode of the Venture Brothers:
Ungrateful pink monkeys.
Well, that is all for today. It is time for bed. Until next time (Odds are Friday for the Countdown), stay up.
Chachi Out.
