Irrational Rant...Light As A Feather

Sometimes, I think I'm crazy when seemingly little things get me fired up. But then I remember that I'm awesome and I'm fired up because the matter at hand is legitimately ridiculous.

You've got to be kidding me.

 
I'd like to discuss the most ridiculous trend of the past few months; "Feather Extensions" for the hair. Yes, it's just what you're thinking, people (mainly women, or men who wish they were women, or old rock stars and 'no talent ass clowns'---see below), putting extensions that look like bird feathers in their hair. Um, ladies (and gentlemen??)...can you fly? Do you have wings? A beak? Do you head south for the winter or build nests? Right, I figured as much....therefore, you should NOT have feathers anywhere on your person. The people who wear these stupid things think that they are so stylish and awesome---apparently they also cause brain damage. I think the next time I see someone walking around with one I'm going to either make a citizen's arrest OR just rip the damn thing out.

Really? Is this the best we can do? On one hand, the 'perm' can breathe a sigh of relief as it remains the #1 hair disaster of all time...but, on the other hand, I think we've finally found something to dethrone the tackiness of the hair crimping trend from decades back. Imagine the crimp and feather extensions combined onto one person's head?

Here's a good rule of thumb: If either of these two are rocking a certain accessory/trend, you might want to leave it alone....just sayin'

Livin' on the edge...of insanity!

I've got nothin' to say about this....

Why the F*ck Do People Do This?

So I just saw on facebook that a guy I used to work with changed his profile picture to a family portrait where they were all wearing white shirts on the beach (note: this is not the dude's pic, these are just some randos from the www).  I have a question...WHY THE F*CK WOULD YOU EVER HAVE THAT PICTURE TAKEN?  That is seriously the dumbest sh!t I have ever seen.  Terrible.  Awful.  Your kids are going to hate you in a few years and with two adults in the picture, wouldn't one of them have the stones to say, "Yeah, that's a terrible idea and I refuse to be part of it."  My wife would never suggest it and I would never be a part of it, so you have to have two consenting adults, which absolutely blows my mind.

I do want to take a moment to address the above photo, because I would be remiss if I didn't cover all the bases here.

What's the dynamic going on here?  Did Grandma and Grandpa (back row, left and center) want a pic with their kids (I am guessing back row right and front row left), their son's wife, kids, and dog?  Like this is a really weird collection, right?  The dog is the smartest one there because I didn't notice him at first.  You know he was thinking, "Ima get right behind this lady with the khakis and blend in with the sand.  I'm only here because they feed me."  Would the family portrait business go down the tubes if they didn't offer the white shirt/beach combo?  Also, what's up with all the bare foot sh!t?  Nobody wants to see chubs' feet on the front left, that sh!t is gross.

Stuck In My Head Bonus

Stupid music day at The Takeover today.  I had a meeting this morning and someone used the term "can't deny..."  This song instantly popped into my head and I know KC will be fired up.  She loves her some Fabolous.

 KC Jones' Note: Big Ran knows me too well...I do love me some F-A-B-O-L-O-U-S, so holla back youngin'... and his song "Breathe" is one of my favorites to listen to while I'm running....

Stuck In My Head....

I used to think that getting songs by groups such as Abba, Nickelback, or The Village People stuck in my head was torturous, and then THIS happened:



This has been stuck in my head since Thursday night, when I was watching my friend's 9 month old son. He is mesmerized by Elmo, and if he gets fussy, all you have to do is put this on and all is right in his world. Unfortunately, it has led to me singing it to myself for well over 72 hours now....In the shower, in the car on the way to work, in my cube, at a wedding this weekend....you name it, the song is with me. Can someone help me? I'm afraid that this is never going stop!

Next up? "C is for Cookie"---I'd actually welcome that at this point....
