14 Random Peeves

September 11, 2007

1. Don't pronounce my surname as "Jao", ever.

2. Yes, I'm a vegetarian. That doesn't mean I'm ignorant as to be unaware that there's no such thing as a "Chicken Flavored Ice Cream". You're neither clever nor original in being able to come up with that "joke", because I've heard it a billion times, and it wasn't funny the first time.

3. No, I don't hate you, but I'm not applying to any Igenportals or other pyramid/"networking"/insert-vogue-jargon-synonymous-to-pyramiding companies. That's final.

4. When I ask hard questions (take, for example, "What is the source of suffering?") I want to hear well-composed thoughts and cases, and not easy answers. If that should take time, then use all the time necessary. Just don't feed me with platitudes. And security blanket (statements) MUST go to the laundry.

5. I can handle expletives, but I hate guys who cuss misogynistic remarks in the presence of women.

6. Emotion is not a fashion statement. Stop feeling so special when you get all depressed and suicidal.

7. You're not a writer just because you're an eventologist. For that matter, you're not an -ologist just because you specialize in something.

8. Stop pretending you're so sharp, panache-y, artistic and elite just because you know a few French phrases, monsieur.

9. When in movies and formal occasions, dammit, put your phone on silent, whippersnappers!

10. For the last time, Starbucks is not a techie expo!

11. Don't lecture me on how in watching a movie, instead of analyzing, I should just sit back and En-JOYYYY. That's the laziest justification, ever.

12. Don't send me any cheese-spirational or "cute" SMS's unless you're absolutely sure it's witty.

13. When I say I don't watch MTV, I don't mean I don't like music. I don't like watching someone flashing their bling-blings, pimping their rides and scoring strippers. I don't like watching someone grudging on some sort of garage while jumping around and wearing angst-y trash-everything facial expressions.

14. Those tight tanktops F4 wears are yucky. I can't stress that enough.

of all those peeves, i agree the most with #13. whenever i surf all the mtv channels on tv, all i get ain’t really worth watching: boobsie tight-ass girls clad in outfits that tell you, “f**k me, f** me” and those bling-bling, car-honking nitwits (not all of them are black, i should say), who aren’t really singing at all, they’re just speaking words faster than their minds can really analyze, in other words, nonsense.
now tell me, when will there ever be an mtv channel that features mtvs of the likes of chick corea, keith jarrett, mccoy tyner, the duke & the count, etc.

The Duke and The Count is as dead as dodo bird. I’d rather not see Chick Corea’s “flying pigeons” or “leprechauns” or other weird stuff being translated into TV. Nor do I want to see Keith Jarrett play with his orgasmic moaning. And McCoy Tyner? What’s there to see with jazz performances that we need to see them on TV anyway?

What I do want to see in MTV are those creatively acted videos, such as MJ’s Thriller. These days, there are less creativity in MTV videos than there are foods in Somalia.

And rapping isn’t “speaking words faster than their minds can really analyze”. It’s a little like jazz where you improvise with rhythms and rhymes. Of course, creativity should also come into question: If all a rapper knows is to proliferate gangsta life of blingblings and hoes, then he isn’t worth any cred (and yes I’m LOOKING AT 50 CENTS and Chingy!). Rappers like Common, Talib Kweli, The Roots, Gang Starr, N.W.A. and A Tribe Called Quests, on the other hand, are worth listening to as their music convey some spot-on messages about the realities of life. Smarter than most rockers/rock fans would give them credit for.
