pop culture

so tonight i sat through the incredibly boring VMA's. i hate that stuff. i hate the girls who don't wear anything and are considered to be fashion saavy. i hate the rappers where you can't even understand what they are saying and if you did understand it would probably make you want to puke with the level of sexism that would be attached to it. i hate that it's pretty much a meaningless event, with a host that was not american and yet the whole opening monologue had to be about politics. i LOVE russell brand. love love love him, but he has much better material. much much much better. i'm just addicted to pop culture. if i had not watched it, i would have searched for information online to see if i missed anything big. it's ridiculous. sometimes i justify it by saying that for the line of work (specifically comedy) that i would like to do, it's important to be current with pop culture. but the thing is, half the time i'll make some sort of reference and no one will know what i'm talking about because it's so obscure. but i still have to know it. it's tiring. my life is really hard. (i'm being sarcastic.) there was nothing about that show that was remotely entertaining except for maybe christina aguilera who brought it. kanye west was so boring. rhianna was boring. and i hate that music so much. pink had a cute dress on until she ripped it off and became essentially naked. and her song was realllllllly stupid. and russell brand was wayyyyyyyy too nice! all he did was make fun of the jonas brothers purity rings, other than that it was all about how great everything was or some stab at a political figure. whatever.

i think i need to work on this problem. i need to be able to not suffer through things that are so inane just so that i can keep up with conversation and be the first to know that amy winehouse has overdosed. which she hasn't. yet. i just can't seem to help it. sigh.

in other news, 54 days until i move to portland oregon. crazy.
