I don't blog about my candle making adventures, my family (with two thousand pictures of my kids), or my life as a housewife who makes quilts 24/7. I'm not some pretentious hipster who can't finish three sentences without using some form of the word "musing." I'm just here to laugh at society.

Consumerism costs your heart and soul.

"Research shows that intrinsic values not only promote personal, social, and ecological well-being, but can also act to immunize people against materialism. It's that see-saw again. As intrinsic values go up, materialistic values tend to go down. So part of the trick is to build a life that expresses your intrinsic values. That might involve spending more time with people you care about, finding meaningful work, even if it pays less, or taking part in volunteer opportunities for causes you care about."

You heard the man. Love what you do and you'll have a better life. Remember that, everyone, ever, as you go from high-school, to college, to the real world.

If you watch the video and really pay attention, you'll see characteristics described that you see in people you know, and you can learn a lot about them when you connect the dots.

These videos? They're essentially random.

I got a webcam recently, so I started making these stereotypical-type vlog things because I honestly have nothing better to do with my time. These are the first three. So there you have it.




Watch them on YouTube. Give me some comments. Tell me I'm stupid. I don't really care. As a matter of fact, go to YouTube and leave a comment that just says "you're stupid" and leave your name so I know who left it. It'd make my day.

I swear, I'll revolt all over this business.

Look, since the government obviously doesn't have anything better to do with its time than declare that pizza is a vegetable and enforce the same internet censorship used to such countries at Libya (you remember, that one that had all those protests and stuff about how they wanted their internet back) and China (you know, the Communist one), I honestly don't see why we keep them around at all.

Seriously. I hope they had just gotten out of a thirteen hour debate about how they're going to get us out of debt, and on the little coffee break were like, "man, pizza has a lot of veggies and stuff, let's make it a veggie too." Bam, done in five minutes, then back to the big problems. Don't waste America's time like this, Congress. It's not funny anymore. And leave our Internets alone. We're out of jobs, we're out of money, and if you take the internet away, it's the freaking last straw. Revolt, anyone?

Where's Guy Fawkes when you need him.

If you don't already know what's going on, please educate yourself on why America as we know it is about to change forever, if we don't do something. Do you want to end up like Libya?

PROTECT IP Act Breaks The Internet from Fight for the Future on Vimeo.

To e-mail your representatives, please visit this site: http://fightforthefuture.org/pipa/

"What PROTECT-IP will do is cripple new start-ups because it also lets companies sue any site they feel isn't doing their filtering well enough. These law-suits could easily bankrupt new search-engines and social media sites. And PROTECT-IP's wording is ambiguous enough that important social media sites could become targets. Lots of trail-blazing websites could look like piracy havens to the wrong judge. Tumblr, Soundcloud, an early Youtube, wherever people express themselves make art, express themselves, broadcast news, or organize protests..."

Hipster Logic

Since it's mainstream to hate Vevo on Youtube, and hipsters are against the mainstream, hipsters love Vevo.
Since Vevo usually only supports large record label bands, hipsters must now listen to mainstream music, because they now love Vevo.
Since they listen to mainstream music, they're no longer hipsters.
However, since it's mainstream for hipsters to listen to obscure artists, hipsters still have hipster cred for listening to mainstream artists?
Therefore, classic hipsters are no longer hipsters?
Usher in the new era of hipsters!

Parachute pants, cummerbunds, capes... I can see it all now. As if California wasn't freaky enough already...
