Day 15 — Something that is currently over-rated.
Half way to the finish, Baby! Then I'll have to go back to coming up with my own ideas for blog entries. Uh oh...thinking on my own? I may have forgotten how to do that already.
Do you really want my thoughts on things that are over-rated? There are so many!
Before I give you my answer, here are just a few of the many things that are over-rated in my opinion.
Justin Bieber
This kid isn't really THAT good, is he? Every time I've seen him he was sporting the "I'm the shit" attitude, for one thing. And his music really isn't that outstanding. I mean he has singing talent, that's for sure. But why is everyone so smitten over this mini-star?
Black Coffee
What is it about drinkers of black coffee that makes them feel superior to those of us who take ours with cream or sweetener? Just because you prefer the taste of one thing over the other doesn't make you special. If you really want to impress me then fill that over-sized mug with some Tequila. If you guzzle it without puking or making a face then you're pretty impressive. Otherwise, shut the f*&k up about your black coffee and hand me the creamer, ya douche! I'm not hating on those of you who drink black coffee. I'm hating on the ones that seem to think they're somehow more awesome than those of use who don't.
Blackberry Storms
These "smart phones" can't do NEARLY as much fun stuff as the iPhone! Why have they always been compared? I don't get it? Granted, a Blackberry is more fun than a regular cell, but it's not even in the same league as the iPhone. I had my BB for a year and it served its purpose, but I don't understand how they can charge as much for a BB as they do iPhones and even put them in the same category. Maybe that's Apple's fault. Maybe Apple should come up with a totally new category for the iPhone other than smart phone.
Farmville & Other Time Wasting FB Apps
I know I'm opening myself up to hate mail on this one, but WHY oh why do so many people play Farmville? I just don't get it. Facebook isn't enough of a time sucker for you? You want to tend a digital farm while you're at it? And guess what!? Those of us who do not play it (or the many other time wasters) don't give a flying fart if you need some pretend thing for your pretend farm. Wow, that came out bitchy...sorry about that. Okay, maybe I shouldn't speak for other people, but I don't enjoy reading about pretend farms. Maybe because I grew up on a real one I don't see the point. Maybe that's it. Maybe it'd be intriguing to me if I hadn't actually lived on the real thing.That doesn't explain why I also don't get the rest of the FB time suckers. It just gets in the way of the real life updates to me. While you're at it, why even publish it if it's for YOUR pleasure? If you're playing for your own fun why do WE need to see it? I've hidden Farmville from view on FB, but there's a new one every single day that I have to hide. I can't even imagine if I hadn't started hiding those damn things. I'd never see the REAL stuff going on for all the PRETEND stuff. I'm not saying that all of you people that play it are douches like the black coffee snobs, but it's just not something I understand. So it goes into the "What Rischa thinks is over-rated" pile. With all that said, if you enjoy it, keep playing it....not that you need my permission or even give a crap what I think. If I played something and I enjoyed it I wouldn't care what YOU thought.
I could probably keep going with the things I dub "over-rated", but I think I'm coming off like a real bitch, so I'll call it a day. Now, let's just examine the choices above, shall we?
There are 3 things on my list that people will eventually tire of and move on. So my choice will be the thing that'll stick around for years and years. People will eventually get tired of the time wasting Farmville and move on to another time wasting activity. Like Blogging perhaps? The same can be said for Justin Bieber. Blackberry Storms will become outdated eventually, as well. It may have already happened with the Droid. So that leaves us with Black Coffee!
Ding, ding, ding....we have a winner!
What do I think is over-rated?
Black Coffee!
Really people! If you like it, drink it. Just don't feel special because of it. Feel special for some other reason. Maybe you feel special because you saved a pretend pig on your pretend farm? Or maybe you're on a Blackberry shopping high? Or maybe Justin Bieber makes you tingle. Although, if you're over 18 I think that's either illegal or just plain wrong, so stop that! Shame on you!
The above opinions are those of the blog host and do not reflect her thoughts on YOU personally....unless you're a coffee snob? These opinions are meant to be taken lightly, so lighten the hell up if you're steaming right now. Don't complain to me in the comments if you disagree with the thoughts above. Seriously, I really don't give a damn what you think as it pertains to the listed items. And I'm surprised you care about mine. But you must if you read this far down, right?
