10 Phrases/Words I do NOT want to hear about in 2011

2010 was an incredible year. Filled with cataclysms, heroics trials and tribulations. Abundant with controversies and buzzwords that in the end, gave absolutely no effects good bad or otherwise to raise the consciousness of humanity. Lack of substance has been a trend put forth by the media for the last two decades if not the last three. Personally I blame Family Matters for the dumbing down of America and family values for making it worse. So I give you my top 10 words and phrases I can live without in the coming year or those to come. Let us hope we hear none of these ever again.

10. Reality TV has done more to make the populace ignorant than any other medium ever produced. Created for the masses of the lowest common denominator, so called "Reality Television" is scripted and staged from beginning to end and bears no resemblance to anything close to reality. What used to have substance in the form of a documentary has now become a flash of mind numbing fireworks. It is an infection that has spread from network to network since the inception of Mtv's "The Real World" full of college aged punks and illiterate promiscuous whores and man-whores who couldn't name the United States Presidents or what country London resides in. Somehow the true tragedy, other than the many who still watch this drivel, is that it creates celebrities who have no other merit than being celebrities. Famous for being famous, with no other talents or abilities to speak of. Let us return to the age of the television drama, comedy or actual documentary before we all truly become insipid ridiculous farces of ourselves with lower IQ's than rocks on a beach.

9. Tiger Woods cheated, let us now move on. He's another asshole player who thought he was above reproach and is a prime example of what I preach to you ladies and gay men to stay away from. Beware the attractive egotists, they tend to believe their own hype. Woods couldn't keep his dick in his pants. Neither could 80% of any other celebrity. it is a different culture. A culture of availability. The more attractive people you are surrounded by apparently the harder it is to stay loyal and purely in love with your mate. As much as we hate those who commit adultery we know in our heart of hearts that it is because we would do the exact same in their place. The character of a person is not in their environment that surrounds them, it resides within them and cannot be blamed on circumstances. Tiger Woods would have cheated with anyone no matter if he was a sports icon or not. It doesn't matter where you are, only who you are.

8. Drug Side-Effects are the side effects that make the world go round. Every commercial has a list miles along that proves the cures are worse than the disease! Sure with this you can cure your irritable bowels, at the risk of your heart exploding. So your pick, ruin your ticker or your pants. If you're depressed you can take this, but run the risk of suicide. What? Shouldn't what you're taking lift away the thoughts of suicide? Something is very wrong with the drug industry. I'd tell you more about it, but you'd probably shit your pants and kill yourself.

7. Any song Autotuned is the devil. We get it already.... you can't sing! The constant warble that sounds like you're choking on the same vomit singing it that we are hearing it. The music industry has become a complete tragedy of itself more than I could ever have predicted. In the 80s and 90s I thought the inundation of boy band mania was the nail in the coffin. I admit failure as I look and see absolutely no regarded talent in the Billboard Top 100. Even the Monkees ended up teaching themselves how to play instruments in the end. Autotune is the bane of any talented and hard working musicians existence. Support your local musicians where and when you can before all we have left are artificially made avatars in videos autotuning on and on and on repetitive cliches and horrible simplistic lyrics to a computer generated backbeat, not that any station would actually play them anyway.  Mtv did stand for Music once didn't it? Didn't VH1 stand for Video Hits One? How log before we have AT1: The Autotune Channel, and after 5 years that will be reality TV too.

6. Rights as in Gay rights, Black rights, the Right's rights, Left's rights. Enough of the politically correct rights! Yes, again, we get it! You want to be heard. Who doesn't? In all of this din I hear nothing about HUMAN RIGHTS save the water-boarding fiasco from 2 years ago. It amazes me that human beings must search never ending to define themselves yet at the same time retaliate when given a label. The same label they pronounce! The screams and cries for equality are lost when you are also proclaiming how different you are from everyone else. Pick a term. Pick a side. pick your nose. Just stop focusing on what rights you do not perceive you have for a moment, and give thanks that you are alive and breathing, experiencing the life in which to bitch about it all. Maybe, just maybe, if those who are constantly demonstrating and so intent of validating themselves to the so called rest of society would take a little time and reflect, they'd see that we all struggle, together on this big blue ball in the same exact way. Whatever you happen to be, you're here. You made it. Be thankful, and for Gods sake stop bitching.

5. 2012 is a year away now. I fear the gloom and doom will not end. Yet, up to this point it has been a rolling thunder of media scavengers eating up the hysteria. Will something happen on December 21, 2012? Who in fuck knows! I don't. I will tell you I have studied the prophecies for over 20 years and have found some amazing similarities and intriguing corroborations. I will tell you I do not like what NASA is saying in the last few years about our solar cycle and the hole in our ozone layer. But at the same time, the absolute dollar is why the media is pouncing on the date, and not for your well being. The truth is that no one knows anything other than some scientists and some researchers. We know some planets are aligning, so that may prove a beautiful once in a lifetime sight. I'll say this, there is nothing wrong with preparing for the future and the possibilities therein. Other than that, if they cannot offer facts...and new facts at that, then enough with the pseudo-documentaries filling up the channels I used to love. One good thing if the world does end, it will take all that reality TV with it.

4. "Smash" can we please retire this word in 2011? Who actually wants their genitals smashed? That isn't a pretty sight at all is it? It doesn't make you kool or hip to use it and only makes you irritating and sound ignorant. At least "Bang" sounded like fireworks going off! To say to one "I smashed that" is really unappetizing and honestly, will not get you girls or even many guys. Let's put that to rest in a grave along with "sick" that words time is over too. 10 years is enough kids, lets hear something new!

3. The Tea Party I have no respect for any organization that fails to commemorate the namesake of it's members. On December 16, 1773 The Boston Teaparty event occurred, this past December I saw no rally coverage, not even a mention of it anywhere. If these people thought of themselves as true revolutionaries you would think that they would organize and give a nod to actual men who played their part in history and made a difference. All they do is bitch,bitch,bitch. No different than any other special interest group or angry organization. It is time to give it rest boys and girls. Either do something to solve the problems you see or hang it up. You can always resign your citizenship if you feel that strongly or move away. I am not even saying I do not agree with a viewpoint here and there, I do. However giant rallies and taking over the AM airwaves with hate messages is not going to get you what you desire. Change comes from inside and resonates throughout a life, I see none of that. Don't bitch about how much you pay in taxes if you're driving around in a $45,000 car. The actual Boston Tea Party movement were poor and financially decrepit ... they were fighting to have representation. You have representation, if you don't like who you chose to represent you or what you believe, stop whining and don;t blame everyone else.

2. Gangstas ummm there are no real gangstas anymore kids. They're like Santa Claus, based on a legend but there hasn't been a real one for eons. Oh sure, they would love to have you believe there are, that they are so badass and full of all kinds of macho strength. They would love you to believe that they are rich and powerful. The truth is, there is no Santa Claus and there are no real gangstas anymore. Hip-Hop stars and Rappers make enough money to never have to bitchslap or cap another nigga again. It's over. Even the ones that have been full on hard asses are now on TV as detectives and cops. Working the 9-5 in movies and putting out an album every so often to let you know they havent died. Hardcore went softcore a long time ago. Lil Wayne, Weezy and Akon could never hold a candle to the real men who crawled out of the hood and made it straight. Ice-T would fuck their ass up and out. Public Enemy really were public enemies and changed the whole game. Now, you are all in autotune hell. There is now talent, there are no gangstas and it is all bland and sounds the exact same. Dr. Dre still throws down, but only to market merchandise. When LL Cool J had a tv series, it was all over for you guys. By the way, Eminem is a honky.


1. Bieber  is the devils satan. Out of all the things I hope DIE brutal deaths in 2011 I hope Bieber fever goes the same way as Pac Man fever. How can a young man whose voice is as flat as paper, relies on autotune to make a note, be everywhere? He is proof that music is the devil, or at least the industry is. No talent hacks come and go, however, this is an all new level they have stooped to to subject us to his whiny and ridiculous caterwauling. The song Baby has no lyrics for Deity's sakes. His music actually sounds like it is making fun of the music industry, and the smug egotist son-of-a-bitch compares himself to the Beatles? Says he now understands how the Beatles claimed they were "bigger than God"? Worse than that his clones are appearing everywhere in hairstylist salons with his ripped off bowl cut of hell. Justin Beiber has no Talent. Period. He is hair and a couple of regurgitated dance moves from Menudo autotuned to hell and ran through a soundboard and computers. He is the artifical life I've been warning you about. Substance-free for the masses. Id call for a boycott if I wasn't scared of what trend you would all vote for next. I fully expect by 2015, if we make it, the #1 hit will be by a pile of burnt bacon sizzling in a pan, put to a backbeat and ran through autotune. At least that would be edible. 


So that is the TOP TEN or worst of. I was going to add a special mention of Twilight but alas I know there are still 2 movies to endure if not 3 and unless the country gets a mass lobotomy we still have a few years of that left. Besides I intend on doing an entire blog of movies I hate someday and that series will surely be included, barring a movie of that autotuned bacon is made.


Happy New Year 2011!! Enjoy folks. Smash you later!
