The n00b


Defining 'Noob'
Contrary to the belief of many, a noob/n00b and a newbie/newb are not the same thing. Newbs are those who are new to some task and are very beginner at it, possibly a little overconfident about it, but they are usually willing to learn and correct their mistakes. n00bs know little and have no will to learn any more. They expect people to do the work for them and then expect to get praised about it, and make up a unique species of their own. It is the latter we will study in this guide so that the reader is prepared to encounter them in the wild if needed.
Noobs are often referred to as n00bs as a sign of disrespect, and it's often hellishly funny, but I will refer to them as noobs.

My take: a vendetta on stupid people

I am surrounded by stupid people. Every day, I see them. At school, at the store, at *cough* home, their numbers keep growing exponentially every single day! These people are growing in power every day, expounding their stupid ideas opn the masses and converting more and more to their stupid "religion". They surround us, envelop us-and I am very much in danger of going under with them. You may think that this post is extremely subjective, and I am deeply sorry of I am offending anyone. If I am, you are most likely "one of them". Stop it.

Response to Lady Gaga

Although she may get harsh criticism from many non-fans, Lady Gaga's career is prospering. Her new, exotic style has attracted many people to her unique music. It may seem to be a strange way to express things.

Her latest music video, Bad Romance, has been viewed millions of times on Youtube and is a hit song. But what is with the huge eyes and the 12 inch heels? It may not be apparent what she is trying to say, but there is a method to her madness. In an interview with her, she explains the story line of her video. See interview here.
Lady Gaga has made a commitment to be different, and she has certainly been the center of attention with it. Her exquisite fashion sense is definitely something different. The fame monster is something the public hasn't seen before, and it seems they want more!

Chewing Slower Doesn't Make it Any Quiter

In a movie theater/auditorium/opera house:

*crinkle, crinkle*

*crinkle*


For God's sake, just open the damn hard candy! Unwrap it already, rip of the wrapper like a bandaid.

What so many people don't understand is the physics of sound. Actually, I don't either. I'm completely makeing that up. But really, think about it. Those other concert-goers aren't really doing the rest of us a favor by trying to mask the sound of thier lozenge wrappers. It is completely noticeable and obnoxious to hear the drawn-out labors of one who is trying so very hard to seem non-chalant about thier inability to just wait, goddamit, until the intermission to indulge their sweet-tooth. Please, do us a favor. When the time comes that you absolutely need to have a hard candy, do it quick. Rip off that wrapping quickly for the sake of our ears. When I go to see Dvorak's "New World Symphony," I don't want to hear cellophane too.

Trends for Spring: Tea Party Outfits

With spring approaching, along with it comes flowers, lemonade, and, of course, flouncy dresses. And what better way to combine all three than with a tea party?

Some necessities to look positively adorable:

A bright and colorful dress. I'm personally fond of dresses from Anthropologie, like this one:








Also, a cute and unique headband is a sure way to look put together and confident. Ban.do has some great options.









Finally, be sure to have on some stylish jewelry. Etsy has some great homemade and vintage finds.

The Tragedys of Soap Operahs

Over the years the soap operas of television have dramatically increased in their stupidness and irrelevance. Where one extremely iffy relationship used to take up the hour of the soaps alloted time, now the show will pour five or six extremely corny relationships in this same hour. This allows for more total boredom for viewers unless, of course, you are either gay or a women.
An innocent man meandering through the channels in the middle of the day will now find seven to eight of their favorite channels consumed by extravagant romances. A brilliant television critic, Iqviz07 states that soap operah's are one of the greatest tragedy's of mankind. Soap Operahs have become a horrible onslaught on our television world that need to be slaughtered from our screens.

Wii Can't Get You "Fit"

Have you ever heard of running? Tragically, people of today seem to be desperate in finding any way of exercising, other then getting outdoors. "Wii Fit" poses as being a great, fun way to getting in shape. They say that you can bern calories playing a video game, without having to go outdoors into the blistering sun.

This is a fantasy that just doesn't exist. Athletes like Steve Prefontane and Arnold Swartionager didn't become the legends that they are from jumping in front of a T.V. If your looking for a fun way to exercise, try sports. There's nothing like a little friendly competition to get your heart racing.

There was once a time where America thrived on hard work and exercises. It is our duty to bring this pastime back to our great country! You WILL be a happier and more confidant person. As the historical company Nike says, "Just Do It".
