Tumblr: 4chan for Hipsters

Tumblr, the extremely popular and trendy "blogging" site. I didn't know about Tumblr until I saw it all over my facebook news feed. And now it seems to be the hosting site for many memes. Most of these memes were first introduced on 4chan, the scourge of the internet where there is no rules nor regulations and one can find any defiled piece of childhood one can imagine. But this isn't the first thing I've seen Tumblr steal, Twitter's logo used to be a "T" very similar to Facebook's "F" logo, but Tumblr now has the "T" while Twitter has a blue swallow as their logo.

So Tumblr is an icon thief, in my opinion.  Not only that I rarely see anyone actually really "blog" on their own pages. I see mostly "reblogged" images. So not only does the website steal from other websites, it encourages theft amongst its members.

But back to the correlation between Tumblr and 4chan. 4chan's been around for a few years now, and I first heard of it in high school. It was like a "meeting of the minds" in an old school 90's internet chat forum. Its just that these minds are not ones would particularly desire to become engaged in conversation with. As I mentioned earlier, anything defiling you can think of about any childhood memories (in pop culture) exists within the forum walls of 4chan.

And now as I scour Google for the funny meme pictures that make me giggle they all seem to come from Tumblr. And I know they first came from the /b/-tards on 4chan. /b/ is one of the many, and most infamous, forums on 4chan. Tumblr is much more mainstream and popular than 4chan due to it having rules and restraints to negate racism, crudeness, and bigotry. And since Tumblr is so trendy it attracted hipsters which now compose most of its members. But the fact remains that Tumblr is borrowing 4chans products and passing them off as their own, since I doubt most hipsters know what 4chan is due to 4chan's demographic are socially awkward/challenged, basement-dwelling gamers; and sociopaths. 

Apparently there's also a war waging betwixt Tumblr and 4chan. I haven't personally seen any flying shrapnel, unlike YouTube flame wars. I hear of attacks from one another but I have yet seen any kind of action actually taken, perhaps because I am on neither site.

Sir Fapsalot

     In my everquest to gain interweb fame/notoriety, I have recently thought about going about this though memes. Especially the meme faces i.e. Courage Wolf, Socially Awkward Penguin, and Foul Bachelor Frog. My first thought was Soviet Russia jokes, so I put my punam on a red background in a Rousky hat. But after making six I found them to be repetitive and not as funny as first planned. :/ But last night, as I rolled around fighting insomnia, I thought of another meme I could possibly create. I thought of FBF which lead to fapping, then I thought I could create many humorous fapping jokes. I thought of slapping my face on these suckers, but then I thought of the consequences. >.> So instead of my mug, I decided to put a cute lil' bunny rabbit on it! Due to the irony of gross fapping and cute bunny, and the age-old proverb 'multiply like rabbits.' So I just finished the labor, and then went to Meme Generator and created a few. So I hope that fairly soon I shall see Sir Fapsalot floating around Google/Tumblr/4Chan whilst I troll the interwebs!

Isn't he just adorable?

I Need A Haircut

Cause I'm looking kinda Jewy :/

In Soviet Russia,

      This tale begins like three hours ago. My mother went out to be with her friend leaving me alone at home with nothing to do. This didn't help the fact that my feelings of being isolated have grown over the past few weeks. So instead of going out on the town Saturday night, I lived it up by using the internet on my mom's computer as opposed to my iPhone. Party animal, I know. As my mother dolled up to go out, I plan on what I shall do with my night. Then the idea hit me! (Background info to make sense of upcoming plot: due to her moving, my friend decided that she no longer wanted her Russian-style looking fur cap and gave it to me.) The hat I just got from my friend! I'll take a picture of myself and Photoshop it to say "In Soviet Russia," jokes! And so I did, here are the fruits of my labor:

     The visual idea for the pictures come from existing memes like Socially Awkward / Awesome Penguin, Insanity Wolf, Foul Bachelor Frog, etc.

Rainbows Kick Ass

Especially when a three-headed panda is vomitting them up!

Here's some more reasons how rainbows kick ass:

And a video game that makes a rainbow AND a unicorn kick ass, Robot Unicorn Attack!

Insomnia, it ain't Cool

Insomnia, the dark deviled beast that haunts most high school and college students. Lying awake for hours on end waiting for sweet slumber to caress you to no avail. It sucks! The past week has been awful, I haven't slept at night at all. The other night I was up until 9AM unroll I finally fell asleep. And I didn't wake up today until 5:30 this evening. I stay up all night tossing and turning trying to sleep and instead I just think about nothing in particular. Then I do finally fall asleep and sleep ALL day. It's happening mow for heavens sake! So basically the point of this post is fir me to bitch how I'm not asleep when I want to be. :\

Aussie! Aussie! Aussie!, Oi! Oi! Oi!

While working at Universal Studios Hollywood, I encountered many different people from all over the world. And since I was the one selling them their tickets to get in and letting them in through the entrance, I interacted with pretty much all of them. I've met people from India, China, Japan, Korea, Germany, Italy, Finland, France, UK, Brazil, Australia, and New Zealand just to name a few places off the top of my head. But one funny thing I observed about Australians is that everytime you yell out, "Aussie! Aussie! Aussie!" they always shout back, "Oi! Oi! Oi!" Now I don't know if it's a genetic reflex or in order to leave their country they're swearn by their government to do so. And due to this automatic response that is never ignored, I wondered what would happen if you yelled "Aussie! Aussie! Aussie!" in Australia? Would you be shunned and thought of as an ignorant American tourist? Or, the possibility I prefer, would you hear a country wide reply of "Oi! Oi! Oi!"?
