Being Famous

So for the past few weeks I have been surfing YouTube because that is something I do on a daily basis, looking for break-dance videos or just looking for something to laugh at, or even just watching myself dance. Looking through the plethora of videos on the web, I started looking at this genre of videos named the talking animal genre. In these videos there is an owner that says something like “mama” or “I love you” and the dog barks back either 2 syllables for mama or 3 syllables for I love you. This I personally though was ridiculous because first off its crazy how people think they can be famous for having their dogs bark 2 of three times on command, and as well it is ridiculous how many of these videos there are online, showing how stupid thousands of people are believing either their dog is the first dog to do this, or believing that their dog says I love you better than any other dog, or just that its crazy how dogs sound like they are actually saying I love you. Personally, I would find it more impressive if the dog was having sex with another dog and while he or she was having sex he would just say I love you I love you I love you because it would be funny. What would be even funnier was if they actually had a dialogue while they were having sex and then that would make the owners of the dog famous because it would be legit dog porn with words which to me I find ridiculous and wouldn’t ever happen, but who knows maybe it will maybe it will not. The crave for fame in this world is ridiculous, and with all the possible ways to get famous in this world, like a baby saying blood when there is juice on his little brother’s mouth, or a little baby girl saying that she is going to kick a monster’s ass, or finding two monkeys having sex on your car, or giving out free hugs, people try anything to try to get famous and known by everyone. This may be why, for some reason, I feel like I know if I will get famous, maybe because it is so easy, or maybe because of dancing, or maybe even because of my blog posts, or maybe my personality, I don’t know but for some reason I legitimately think I am going to be famous and for this reason, I feel as though I don’t need school, maybe I need a wakeup call, maybe this is my wake up call, because really to be famous and get money doing something they love, even though there are a lot of success stories, it is really hard, especially for dance if I want to do dancing for money, first I have to get to know the community, then I have to talk to lots of people, then show off to some sponsors, get into movies, do another job to have enough money to go internationally if I am planning on going to an international battle, really everything costs money, so I should go through college because it will make life easier probably and an easier life makes it easier for me to do what I would like to do. Therefore I shall try to go through college even though it makes me cry because I feel stupid in front of everyone, if I have a bad GPA do you think it would make me less famous because it will make people think that I am just another stupid famous person? I don’t know and I don’t want to find out, so I will study hard so that I don’t fail everything because failing is bad, but if you fail you should always get up and try again because failing should never be an option if one fails they should just be like hey yo, I will kick this failing grade in the face and study again or do something to make you not fail, preferably not sexual, but yea that is my take on this shit. Anyways back to the youtube made famous people, you know how last post I talked about that guy who sang boom boom pow, he is technically famous because he sang badly, then everyone should be famous, I wonder if people go up to him and say, I saw you on youtube your so good, and then gives him a gig, maybe maybe not, but why is it so easy for someone who is bad at singing to get hundreds of thousands of hits, and a really good singer, like this 11 year old girl that I saw singing the climb by miley cyrus, get a couple hundred. Kind of pisses me off in how the world is, like William Hung he got his own record deal for being a bad singer, me personally, I am a pretty good singer, do I have a record deal, me no thinky so. Just stuff like this pisses me off in how the it is so easy for someone shitty to get famous, but if you are actually good at something, it is really hard to get famous. Like there is this guy that I know who dances like semi good, but there are so many more people better than him that dances, however he is the famous one getting into movies and shit because he has a certain persona about him, however other dancers that do more technical moves get put in the backdrop for some reason, it just really pisses me off, as well as how mainstream rap comes up and its so easy to make the songs famous as long as it has a good beat how ever other rap artists if their beat isn’t as good, they don’t get as famous even if their lyrics are the shit and makes me cry when I listen to them. So yea im out so pC. Rant on.

Rhetoric Analyzation of the Boom Boom Pow guy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UI36i6--mA&feature=player_embedded#

So I’m supposed to do a rhetoric analysis on an ad that I see, and since I spend most of my time on youtube, I decided to do a youtube video. So, as I was going through my youtube surfing, I spot this video of a guy singing boom boom pow. Now you see, although this may not seem like an ad, it actually advertises many things. First, it advertises him as a singer, he was bad, but since he was so bad, it was funny and therefore made people like watching him therefore making him famous. It also helped the Black Eyed Peas song because it gave it more publicity having more people either want to or not want to listen to the song. Even though it does not say, listen to the song Boom Boom Pow, or Hire me for your next event or show, it shows it through the action of putting his face on Youtube for everyone to see for he obviously did it for the sake of attention. In the words of Ethos, Pathos, and Logos, I would see this ad as a definite pathos appeal for it persuades the audience to either book him for an event or listen to the actual song by having himself sing the song making people either feel happy, sad, disgusted, or humored. Personally, I found it humorous and for this reason I am sharing to you readers this video using my own advertisement. You see, on blogs, people as well can advertised and for what you are advertising, for example this guy, or like a car company, its free for them. For things like YouTube and blogs, they get free advertisement and people would use this as a Ethos appeal because sometimes I just sound really smart, sometimes maybe not, but on a blog, if someone is reading it, the reader thinks, why would this guy lie to me, he has no reason to lie to me, unless he is a complete douchebag, then I guess he can, but there really is no reason, therefore giving me an ethos appeal. Anyways, back to the video, so pretty much if you don’t know the song boom boom pow, its pretty much the black eyed peas going boom boom boom a lot and got to get get a lot and its somewhat annoying but catchy. This boy however decided to take the song and put his own spin, his thick accent is kind of funny, and when Fergie, a girl, sings he starts singing like a girl, he randomly starts changing pitches because he thinks hes cool, and he obviously does not know the words making him look ridiculous, but for those reasons, the video is hilarious. If there was no video, it would make his singing totally bad. He has more videos like him singing poker face by lady gaga and even more, which I am listening to now, he has a really big adam’s apple, and he dances with strange hand motions like there is one where he looks like he is skinning a potato, the Boom Boom Pow video has alittle less than five hundred thousand views and really this is just ridiculous. But to be honest, I am pretty sure if someone saw this guy on the street, he would be called, the skinny asian singing guy and he probably is the most popular guy in school, actually probably not but he is probably known throughout his city as the guy who sings songs. I really can not really say anything else about this ad, pretty much, I think it is very funny, and you should watch it, maybe I will just put the url down like 378 times so it will be 1000 words, but that is lame and I don’t want to do that, but yea this guy he uses pathos to hit you emotions hard by either laughter or you just get really annoyed because he is so asian sounding and he randomly sings and he just pretty much butchers or made the song awesome, whatever you want to think. His voice is really high too so it hits you ear drums pretty hard too but its cool. But yea watch It its GREAT! So yea pC.

fall break

So this week is fall break. I think it’s pretty tight that we have a random weekend where it can be long and some classes can be cancelled so that we kids can do whatever we want. Instead of going to English this Friday, I am probably going to get have fun, in my room, or outside my room, or in my hall, or somewhere else doing something fun. Or not, maybe I should study. See, I never know what I should do on these breaks since I am failing college. For example today, all Mondays, I don’t have class, so I always put on the day so much to do, I told myself I would study two chapters of Chemistry, do 2 online quizzes, do all my homework and just a ridiculous amount of work, oh yea and go to break dance club for two and a half hours, to be honest, I totally forgot I had to do this until like 10 o clock. Although dance club was productive, I learned how to spin on one hand today; I still don’t know what I should do. I really don’t want to study, because it’s my break, but I don’t want to not study because I am failing. I cannot go home because it takes one hundred dollars to get there, and I don’t really have anything planned to do there and I don’t want to deal with the family. I mean I know that I have to rewrite my essay, and that I can dance because I need to get my spin really good because that would be sick and I would cry once it happens because it would make me so happy, but that’s takes a while and will make me tired, so maybe I will sleep, or take a really long shower just to deal with the time issues. Or I can go to my room, and drown my sorrows in alcohol and then get a strike, or not get a strike, and have a big room party and then make jello shots and then eat food that is bad for me, get fat, learn how to play the harmonica, drop out of school, and play on the street. That would be fun, I guess if I loved doing that, but I love being successful, like the song, I want the money, money and the cars, cars and the hoes, I suppose… I just want to be I just want to be successful, words by drake. But yea due to the lameness of that, I might just be like any teenager and just go with the flow. If there is a lot of soda in my fridge, I will drink it, if there is a naked girl in my room, I’ll tell her to leave, sike, or if there is a toothbrush in my sink, I’ll use it. I don’t know it will be cool, because I am a cool cat. I don’t understand that saying, a cool cat. Does that mean that it is slightly warm slightly cold, I have never seen a actually cat that was “cool” or “popular”. In T.V. shows they usually are the bad guys trying to eat the mouse or the bird. If it is cool thinking about eating a friend of yours, because they are actually friends sometimes in the shows, then yea I guess they are cool, but really I just think cats are pretty lame unless they like saved my life or something, then I would say that those cats are cool and I would worship them like the Egyptians did. That is also found to be ridiculous, why do they think that. They made statues and carved in stones their faces, even put their face on the emperor’s tomb for what? Okay maybe they are mystical because no one knows what their thinking and they seem like they think they are better than you, but like why is that cool, I guess in society if someone thinks their better than you, you try to be their friend so that you feel better about yourself, because some people do that, but were talking about an animal, that we are so much bigger than. Small animals can be eaten like how the Chinese ate cats and dogs, and so why do people think they are so cool. Cool cat, more like conceited cat or cocky cat. Gosh stuff is just ridiculous, like a couple days ago, I sang a song, it was a mix of paper planes and waving flag, it was alright, personally I didn’t totally like it but my friend really did so I sang it with him. So we recorded it, put it on facebook, and almost instantly, people liked it. I thought it was ridiculous. Then after like 2 days there were 16 comments saying how good it was and 25 likes on it. I know that really isn’t that much, but I thought it was ridiculous that people thought it was good, since I am very negatively self conscious, I think that they are all lying, although they probably are not, but still. So I listen and keep listening, and I think it gets worse and worse, so I just end up hating my voice so for an hour I just stopped talking because I was so tired of my voice. Voices are lame, like first person, second person, and third person. While I write, I have having to like make all the tenses and stuff the same and making it like third person and all that stuff, it super dumb. Like why would people do that to people making people lose points by making so many persons. Why can’t there be one person so we can just talk about that one person or not like instead of saying he we could say that guy who isn’t me. Ya dig? I don’t really dig I just wanted to talk because I like how I talk now.
