Well, it's that time of the week again. I have another AP US History paper to write, which means of course, I am gonna put it off as long as possible. This time, its a particularily fun one, this time about the American Revolution. I think... I'm actually not really sure, because I'm that good at paying attention in class. But enough about school, and falling asleep in Mr. Won's class, with (extremely scary and rather... umm big boned) Dr. Hall while watching the Simpsons in American Litearuture class (which wasn't really my fault, but she is coming back again, so maybe she is checking to make sure it was a one time occasion).
*Warning* The next long paragraph is about this show called Kid Nation. If you haven't seen the show, or don't really care, I'd skip down a couple blocks from here
Tonight, I was being a good little boy, and working on my umm... well it wasn't working on homework that's for sure. But I was watching this oh-so-brilliant show called Kid Nation. And frankly, it made me a little sick to my stomach. So the entire scenario? Concept, thats the word. Well the entire concept is that 40 kids are "in charge of themselves" and well, have to fend for themselves for 40 days. Great concept, right? Except that the adults are trying to arbitrarily install a pecking order, and are basically turning it into a sort of survivor epsiode (which happens to be starting a new season in China on Thursday night), where groups perform tasks or challenges, and try to be the winning group. Except for in Kid Nation, we can't get rid of the annoying kid (whose name is Mike, of all things), by voting him off the island. However, you do have the option to leave, but unless you want to look like a total dick on NATIONAL television, you really don't have many choices, if you absolutely HATE your group mates. Actually, I don't know if anyone has seen it, but one of the 15 (maybe only 15) year olds, and maybe a 14 year olds decided to grafitti the words blue rules, on everyone's cabin. (So they are living in cabins, on wooden floors, but I still think those who are complaing are wussies) And if that was not the most immature thing they could do on NATIONAL TELEVISION (I feel like I have to write that in caps. well because I can, and if you are reading this, well, you can suffer along), then it was a close second.
Hmm other notes. I think that the yellow town council leader is pretty cute (potential to be HOT, but she is like 10), but she is a diva. Like no joke. By diva, I mean literally she is a beauty pagent queen. I know that its hard to do this and all, but seriously, they were all expecting it to be like a fun summer camp things. They were being dropped off in the middle of no where, with no adults, and they think, oh party time. It's not gonna be all fun and games, suck it up and deal with it. Speaking of which, I want to sign up for next years show. Well anyways back to Taylor. Well Taylor, is perhaps one of the LEAST suited for this entire show (which is probably why they chose her, well that and it is eye candy for the preachers and Republican senators. Actually, not the Senators, she is a female). So the whole thing about why she is all qualified to be a great leader, is that she is a beauty pagent person, thingy, whatever. Because when I think of hardy and you know willing to deal with crap in their life, I think of Beauty Pagent winners. And then she had the most, unkid like answers for the questions about how she would change the world, actually it was something what it seems like a (South Carolina maybe?) teen pagent contestant would be saying about changing the world.
Someting strangely ironic about the entire event, was that there was this whole big thing about how the grownups are ruining the world, and bad leadership, and they are being led, by (Mike) perhaps, the most similar thing to George Bush that they could find. Well, they couldn't find a kid stupider than ole Bushy to be on the show, well maybe those even those kids weren't stupid enough to sign up for this. Coincidentally, I would like to sign up for this, because you could make like 20,000 dollars if you work hard. I'm all ears now. (That's the Chinese in me speaking). Well, I think that its pretty awesome that this indian kid(teen?, pre-teen?) is one of the group leaders. But of course, his group is beaten by whitey. And funnily enough, the Asian leader is in charge of the merchant groups, and stores. That, and I think the other Asian on the show, is helping out with the cooking. Who says sterotypes don't exsist. I think this enough for a while tonight about Kid Nation. Maybe I'll talk more some other time about it. I think I barely covered half of my thoughts, but that's fine. I can always write about it somemore now. That AP US History will just write itself now won't it. Wait. What's this I hear? You don't want to hear anymore about it? Okay then, I guess that's enough for now. Maybe someother time.
God that made me feel so old, just TYPING that. Or so hacky. Or so corny. One of those things. Anyways, I think there are other things I can talk about.
Let me check real quick if I can talk about Ultimate Victory yet. Yes I can, the album finally was released, officially, yesterday. (I totally did not get an illegal copy. Promise) Or maybe when I finally post this, two days ago. Anyways, I'd like to think that I caught on to Chamillionaire a touch before he became very popular. At least, before Ridin' became such a mainsteam hit. Well his album, Ultimate Victory, is perhaps one of my favorite albums of all time, with the others with classics (in my mind at least) The Sound of Revenge, The Emcee's Properganda, The Real Slim Shady LP, and The Marshall Mathers LP. My favorite artist is Chamillionaire right now, with Eminem a second. To the album for real this time. Chamillionaire's albums is even better than Sound of Revenge which is saying something. The beats are all real good, but what makes it better is Chamillioanire's flow. He sounds real dope, and raps about real things. A lot of people say hip hop is dead. And to tell the truth they are mostly right. For those who are wondering why, think about it. Actually, just look at Hurricane Chris. And if that doesn't convince you, try listening to any of the former Mouseketeers pop artists songs, (exception: Christina) and try telling me with a straight face that they music is good music. Quick break from the album (because I was so on topic before hand). What is going on in Britney Spear's head? Has she gone completely loco? Or is she just tired of the spotlight. Because she is falling apart like the situation in Iraq. And speaking of Britney. Someone wants to kill Kevin Federline. And seriously, if you are gonna kill a pop star, do it to someone who you know, actually matters and sucks. Like that is the least famous person you could possibly threaten to shoot, with the exception of a reality show star. Because if you try to kill someone like that, well, you probably have more pressing problems, that those with tv show people. ish. Back to Ultimate Victory, my favorite track currently is Industry Groupie, and the single Hip Hop Police, is a single that seriously deserves a listen. What's even better is the video, which is my favorite music video... that doesn't involve half-naked women. I hear the groans of my female friends already. Get over it. Seriously. Umm... yeah, if you have read this far. I feel sorry for you. But I have a present for you. I am, doing an open mic, on October 7, sometime between 10 and 3, at the grounds of the state capital.
