So this blog was an outlet for me to post the Internet's finest. The things that I look at constantly.
I was perusing Thought Catalog recently and came across the article, "10 Bizarre Wikipedia Pages That Will Make You Quit The Internet Today"
And you can BET, I slowly closed my laptop and backed away after reading this article. Hands up in a white flag surrender.
Go ahead and read this one. I'll be here when you're done.
Read it?
Ok. Let's chitter.
#1 ODB - Or Baby Jesus - OBVIOUSLY, if this no bullet proof vest law became a thing, he wasn't the only odd bird doing this. What's wrong with safety?
#2 ICP - Don't even...I have way more exposure to Juggalos (those are ICP fans, really...that's their name, and they're proud of that) than I would like to admit. For about five years, I worked at a certain mall music/clothing store and Juggalos were just...just so rampant. All the time. And about...85% of them were just so obnoxious about their fandom (fan-dom?). Shirts, wallets, hats, ANYTHING ICP SOLD LIKE HOT CAKES. But at least hot cakes are delicious, so I can understand the sales numbers. Anyways, I liked reading this little anecdote about performing to the wrong crowd. You silly geese!
#3 Formicophilia - WTF. Bugs. Crawling on you. You like it. YOU like it? you LIKE it?! you like IT!? I'm dry heaving as I type this.
#4 Oculolinctus - Ok. Also gross. I am an extremely cautious person, and the thought that people are doing this and getting EYEBALL INFECTIONS. Hurlhurlbarfbarfpukevomit. Japanese teenagers, get your life right. You're better than this. This is along the lines of that weird donut forehead thing I saw on TV
#5 Chastity belt - So this is a thing? I thought it was old timey or only out of Robin Hood: Men in Tights
#6 Kentucky Meat Shower - WHY AREN'T BILLIONS OF DOLLARS BEING USED TO RESEARCH WHY THIS HAPPENED?!
#7 Autopsy - Eh.
#8 LANSA Flight 508 - This is a tragedy for sure. But this girl that survived needs to have her own TLC/Discovery Channel/ Nat Geo TV special. Because that's INSANE.
#9 Maternal Insult - Someone call Wilmer Valderrama!
#10 Stendhal Syndrome - Sometimes just the fact that there are names for things fascinates me. This is one of those time. Who knew there'd be an actual thing for thinking art is SO beautiful?
Tell me what you thought about this stuff!
What's the most number of sites you're surfed your way through accidentally?

Someday No One Will Even Notice
WHOA.
So I know I haven't done anything on here for awhile. And for that, a thousand apologies. But I also have a good internet gem today.
Now you may have heard about the Cheerios commercial that's, sadly, causing people to get all up in arms. The commercial features a little girl asking her mom if Cheerios are good for the heart. Her mom tells her yes, then explains the benefits to the heart. The little girl then takes the box and walks away. Cut to the dad waking up from his nap on the couch with Cheerios all over his chest.
Super cute, right?
Then what's the fuss all about, you ask?
That little girl's mom is white and her dad is black.
Yup.
In the year 2013, this is causing people to spit out words of fire all over the internet. Most of them about the little girl herself!
So there was a video recently made by a team called The Fine Brothers, documenting the reaction to the commercial from kids varying in age (about ages 6 to 15). They show the video to the kids and say, "What'd you think?" then explain that people have been angry about the commercial. Which leads to their confusion...
This video warmed my heart. Racism and hatred is a taught mindset. No child is born hateful. I'm not sure everyone gets that.
Robocop and I are a mixed race couple. I happen to think our future mixed babies will be the cutest things to set foot on this planet! The thought that someone could think otherwise about them (names are tentatively Hello Kitty and Mega Man) makes me Hulk rage. I'm thrilled that they will experience two cultures (make that three, since they'll be raised here with both our cultures of heritage, obviously) and that they could potentially speak three languages (if we work hard at it). I feel that gives them a leg up. And then, where their times come, I'm going to love anyone who loves them as much as Robocop and I love each other.
Anyway. That ended on a super cheesy note so....

Irregardless, ex-boyfriends are just off limits to friends. I mean that's just like the rules of feminism!
I love TV.
Like...loooove TV.
One show I love to watch is MTV's new show "Girl Code".
One show I hate to watch is E!'s "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" I kan't stand it, but kan't knot watch it.
"Girl Code" is mainly female comedians (comediennes?) talking about the rules of being a girl. I use the term "rules" loosely. They cover topics such as the friend zone, controlling your alcohol intake, how to wear makeup, etc, etc. I love it. The views on all this stuff is hilarious and I recommend catching the show, even if you don't love rules as much as I do.
"Keeping Up With The Kardashians" is exactly that. Keeping up with their super interesting* lives. Kim is probably the "star" of the show, since she's the most famous and publicized sister, but Khloe has my heart. I actually think she has a good head on her shoulders and isn't so stupid. Which is saying a lot.
BuzzFeed posted a list called 13 Girl Codes The Kardashians Do Their Best to Live By where we see these ol' Kardashian gals abiding by the rules of the Girl Code. The holy, sanctified Girl Code.
I like to think my life is a lot like those of the Kardashian ladies. Minus money, fame, power, success, a tv show, a clothing line, and a store in both Miami and LA. Maybe even NYC. There's just no keeping up with those darn Kardashians!
I'm just a girl trying to coast through life, so sometimes, these teensy guidelines don't suck!
Check out a full episode of Girl Code here:
I won't post a link to "KUWTK" (Ugh, what a long name.) because you can catch it on E!...all the time...every day...at any hour.
Anyways, I'm off tomorrow which means a day full of non-interwebz related adventures, so I'll leave you with this! Happy 4th of July, little bears!
