The Useless Critic 2.0

When it comes to the Internet, Facebook is Sodom and Google is Gomorrah. Just several days ago, Facebook jumped on the hounding wagon with this awful graffiti. Guess what, Facebook? I'm already on you. You don't need to twist my arm to get me there. If anything, I'm looking for ways to get away from you. If Google Plus becomes popular, I will excitedly refrain from signing up and gladly welcome the fewer and fewer Facebook updates that will surely follow, allowing me to get off of the grid once and for all. Hey, Google, I've pressed "No" so many times, why even have a button? You're obviously not interest in my answer unless I say yes. On my MacBook, I get this message even though Google is, in fact, my homepage. And, no, I don't want to try Chrome either. Perhaps it'd be worth it if it had a feature that would disable these notices. Now Google has a feature that notifies me that I have an e-mail forwarding filter that I set up to forward...

So hello world. I’m Nader Boulberhane, and on this Friday, I got to sit down (on computer) with RamzPaul from www.RamzPaul.com. His site can be political, and his site can be opinionated, but it seems his youtube videos and website get more and more viewers each day. Here is what Paul and I got to talk about. NB: For starters, I’ve been following you closely, but for anyone that is brand new to Ramzpaul.com , what is your website all about? RMZ: Someone once described my videos as Nationalism meets Pop Culture. I found that description to be rather amusing and accurate. Mostly I just make videos that poke fun at the establishment's religion known as political correctness. NB: So you’re website and videos just keep getting more and more popular, how far are you planning to go with this? RMZ: I think it is good to have big ambitions. Unfortunately, I am not a very ambitious person. Goals? Objectives? Mission Statements? Forget about it. Mostly I just drink and make a sill...

So this is rather simple, QATFYG: Does anyone out there have a favorite cooking show? Nowadays, I do not often watch cooking shows, but as I said in a post from a long long time ago, I watched lots of television programs about cakes. I was also a big fan of a show called “Cooking under Fire” with Chef Ming Tsai. But if I had to pick one cooking show that really takes the Grease, I would pick “Barbecue University.” Just barely ahead of “BBQ with Bobby Flay.” There was a time in my life when all I cared about was Barbecue, but with “BBQ University” I learned so much. Moreover, Thanks to this wonderful internet invention, I have discovered this website called Heyfood.org It sounds like a call from the heart to the God of cuisines and things. I used to have to write to Swedish people and beg them for recipes for peanut chicken, but now, I think this website might be a more positive approach. Good stuff.

Language naturally reflects popular culture; every time there's a new idea, we need a way to communicate it. With that out of the way, The Oxford Dictionary of English (not to be confused with the Oxford English Dictionary) put out its new words today: chill pill chillax turducken bargainous staycation fussbudget vuvuzela national treasure buzzkill social media microblogging netbook dictionary attack paywall freemium automagically carbon capture and storage geoengineering toxic debt deleveraging overleveraged quantitative easing exit strategy overthink catastrophizing soft skills matchy-matchy LBD frenemy cheeseball cool hunter hikikomori steampunk tweetup bromance wardrobe malfunction defriend Interweb hater How many do you know?

There is this internet trend going on right now- internet trends! the best thing! think of dancing babies and people doing the "I Will Survive" routine at Auschwitz, which is like, SO APPROPRIATE OMG, even if you were there and did get pardoned from the gas chambers- well anyway, people keep reposting this Bulgarian mystic, Baba Vanga's, claims that World War III will beginning in November of 2010. Baba Vanga died in 1996 and could not see things after being trapped in a sandstorm as a child or something like that. I don't know these kind of things happen everyday, but this left her with the gift of "second sight." Apparently, she was very picky about who she'd help with said second sight. Whatever, I guess I would be too. Also- she looks a LOT like that old gypsy lady from Drag Me To Hell , 2009's preeminent film. first of all this makes me angry because I have not done shit with my life yet and I resent the fact that the next world war is going to ...
