  • Mildly Mean Month, with a Side Helping of Logic FAIL

    I've seen all the hatred and sarcasm poisoning your Xanga posts. I've read your diatribes against the innocent and guilty, against wealthy TV producers and poor homeless men. I've seen it all, and it turns my stomach...THAT I DO NOT GET TO PARTICIPATE!

    So, because I'm random, September is my Mildly Mean Month. I'll complain about anything and everything and cheerfully smash your idols and flame broil your sacred cows...while still doing the whole "not calling your mom a harlot of Babylon" thing. Or I'll be annoyingly logical of pop culture until you ask me to please, please, stop over-analyzing the probability that the "Song that Never Ends" will, indeed, someday end. Occasionally I'll take a break to finish off a series or two. I still need to do posts for the Weak and Strong, and the primer on how women should treat men, and the chaste gentleman followup. Those will be nice breaks from the usual writing.

    Now, as you can guess, this is going to be tough for me. A wonderfully well-mannered gentleman like myself, saying not nice things? I don't know if I can do it! I'll try to start off slow with an easy target and build up slowly.

    For a mini-start, can we please talk about the bad logic in Drake's "Best I Ever Had" song? It drives me crazy because it attempts to be player-rific, but it just makes me laugh. And please don't look it up, it's the usual over-indulgent tripe that attempts to complement a girl, but just exists to tell us how fascinated the musician is with his own reflection.

    First, he starts by saying "Baby, You know a lot of girls be thinkin' my songs are about them This is not to get confused, this one's for you" What cracks me up about this lyric is that it could be said to ANY girl, over and over, haha. It's like the old joke about the piano player who would play a little ditty on the piano when hanging out with a girl and then claim he came up with it just for her...of course, it was the same song every time, haha.

    Second, I love that he says "You're the best I ever had." So, let's examine the statistical probabilities here.
    (1) Drake was a virgin before he met you. In that case, he's not comparing you to anyone, it's no compliment.
    (2) Drake has slept with other girls, and you're the best of them all. So either Drake has awful taste, or he's slept with so many other women that it's an honor to be ranked first...if you don't get an STD. Oh, and you are the best he's had so far...but wait, tomorrow there could be a new #1! haha.

    Really, ladies, would you be gullible enough to date a weak player like Drake? If the answer is yes, message me! I have some great ideas for your bank account. Plus, um, I know Drake personally, so send me any pictures and letters you'd like to pass along to him.

  • HAHA NICE.

    I love ripping apart terrible lyrics.  People don't watch cheesy chick flicks with me for the same reason...

  • Wow, that's a really pathetic way to get a girl, Greek. "Send me your pics, and I'll pass them on." lol What if someone actually thought you were serious?

  • It's actually pretty easy to say not nice things.  I used to have trouble being anything less than angelic.  Then i worked in customer service for a few years, and now i have no trouble explaining to people why i think they're scumbags.

  • I only like Drake, or Aubrey Graham as he used to go by, because he was a regular cast member of Degrassi.

    Is that Logical Fail? =) I like that phrase. I may just have to steal it and use it in everyday conversation.

  • @yourkbear - I can only hope! BTW, Drake prefers brunettes who write bad poetry. j/k
    @eowynnabeeowyn - Ok, clearly we have to watch a movie together sometime, then.
    @FluffyTheRedOne - That's why! I never worked in customer service!
    @afadedphotox - Yep, Logical Fail it is

  • Ah, you see, this is why I listen to Movits. Do I understand Swedish? No. Is the music still 10 kinds of awesome? Hell yes.

  • This is the song that never ends

    Yes it goes on and on my friends

    Some people started singing it not knowing what it was

    And they'll continue singing it forever just because

  • You got it stuck in my head, I'm only returning the favor. =D

  • @The44thHour - HAHAHAHA oh damn now it's stuck in my head.....

  • The mean side of The Greek?....... does that mean we get spinach with no feta?   @The44thHour - I am soooo tempted to continue that one. I was on a bus with 30 kids who kept it going for 12 hours straight one time by taking turns. It was and is burned into my mind.

  • Oh, I can't see you being mean! You are truly a gentleman!

  • What's the not calling your mom the whore of Babylon thing?

  • So very harsh.  Not sure if I'll continue reading through September....  ;)

  • @GreekPhysique - my faves have been the hallmark/lifetime movies, you know, like the ones based off of janette oke books.  the movies are TERRIBLY cheesy.

  • Sadly funny but tragically true. :^)

  • I am all for the mean month! yay complaining!
