get a life

They say, "don't hate; participate" but I really want to hate on them for being so unoriginal.

If anything ever hit too close to home, this casting call for MTV's "True Life: I Can't Disconnect" would be it.  

Are you constantly checking your Facebook and/or MySpace pages? 
Do you sleep with your mobile device in fear of missing an email, tweet or text? 
Is your virtual life taking control of your real life? 
Is your online presence causing problems with family, friends, co-workers, boyfriend/girlfriend? 
Do you find it difficult to log off? 
If you appear to be between 16-28 and would like to share your story, "True Life: I Can"t Disconnect", wants to hear from you. 

Looks like people actually may need the internet rehab center I wrote about awhile back.  The only person I know who doesn't fit this description is my grandma; and that's not even true because she loves her Clapper.  That's as technologically savvy as an old person gets right there.

Sadly, it does sound like I could have a chance to get on this show– I answered "yes" to all of the questions except the one about causing problems with my family, friends, co-workers and boyfriend/girlfriend.  For me, that's not a problem because they all left a long time ago.  

Aw, don't feel bad for me!  At least I don't have a video Real World audition tape online…

I was so excited when I heard there was a site that turned YouTube videos into karaoke magic.  KaraokeTube!  Imagine my weekend! I thought, dreaming of belting Mariah Carey and Christina Aguilera jams out to my heart's content as a record exec walks by my apartment, decides he should sign me and I become a super star and travel the world, yada yada yada…

But my dreams were squashed immediately upon visiting the site. Enjuto Mojamuto 2×13 – "El Musical"? The Killers- "Somebody Told Me"? Els Pets – "Bon dia"? What kind of songs do they think I want to sing? This isn't karaoke, this is my weird roommate from college's "studying" playlist. No thanks. Plus, the database didn't have any Britney Spears or Lady Gaga songs in it.

But- but- but- what was I going to do now? I was so disappointed. Where would I find karaoke videos ever again on the web? How would I sing? How would I get famous and get one of those limos with a pool in the back of it!?!?!

Oh, yeah. I can get karaoke songs right on YouTube. Like, thousands of them. How did I forget that?
Phew. That was a close one.

We're tired of boring, single themed photo tumblr blogs that are all attempting to be the next big thing to hit the web, so we're calling them out in this week-long series called "Tumblr Weak."

BLOG: Asleep On The Subway aka asleeponthesubway.tumblr.com//

ESTABLISHED: January 2009

# OF POSTS: Lots

PURPOSE: This is complicated: to take pictures of people on the subway. That are sleeping.

DOES IT SERVE ITS PURPOSE? Sure.
But who gives a flying f about people sleeping on the subway? Take the amount of people that actually live in one of the few urban areas that even have subways, the number of people who ride them, the number of people who fall asleep on them, and then finally, the number of a-holes taking pics of those people and you can guarantee you've only got about five solid contributors to this blog. That's five people who care about this idiotic issue enough to keep publishing pictures of it. Get a life, five people.

WEAKNESS LEVEL: On a scale of 1-10, this site is 6. Some of the pictures are silly sleeping people so you may chuckle. But overall, it's WEAK. On the scale of 1-10, 1 is still stupid, so don't think I've forgiven this tumblr for wasting our time.

Asleep on the subway, your tumblr is WEAK!

When I read this article about the founder of Twitter's wife tweeting while she was giving birth, I threw up in my mouth a little.  It's bad enough when I'm out with my friends and have to wait while they rudely update the internet world on the play-by-play of the night's events, but to be giving birth and tweeting it is just plain sick.  It's mental.  Coo-coo.  It's you're-out-of-your-mind-put-your-phone-or-computer-down-because-you-are-birthing-a-tiny-human-you-should-be-f'ing-paying-attention crazy.

I don't care if you or your husband created Twitter, the least you can do for that little baby who's about to meet you is experience it for yourself.  Let's be honest; the current sitch here on planet Earth is dire enough, you don't need to be ignoring your baby to look cool to your 73 Twitter followers.  There isn't a "#givingbirth" hashtag for a reason.  (I looked it up.)  So put down your phone/computer/PDA and live your life a little!  Sheesh!

I'd keep writing, but I've got to go live tweet my lunch with my cousin.  #Chipotle, woot woot!
Hey, at least I'm not as bad as she is.

The internet can be real stupid. When most of us have a problem, we may swear a little bit, complain to our friends or punch a wall – but we forget about it when the next insignificant problem like a clogged toilet pisses us off.  But not this guy.

After Dave Carroll's guitar was busted up by United Airlines and they wouldn't hear his claim, he took his band , wrote and produced a music video for a song about the experience, and posted it on YouTube for the world to see. 

That's a lot of effort for a complaint.  He must have been PISSED!  You can read his whole story here, or just watch his video below.  Still no update on whether or not United has paid for his guitar; but don't forget- you can always just write a letter.

You can look at this popular pic from Dump.com and make fun of the funny look on the protester?s face and the guy with the chicken who?s mocking everything these people stand for, OR you can focus on the dude eyeing the chicken and make it racist.

You decide, and I?ll judge you.

This graphic showing how people use Google to search for relationship advice has been making the Internet rounds.
By reading it, we learn that men are mean, women are crazy, and perhaps you should stop getting your relationship advice from a computer. Because if you were dating, this wouldn't exist. Maybe it was made by this guy?
