Finding EMO


Some of you may still be wondering, "What does it mean to be 'Emo'?"

Emo is a thing now.  Most people are aware of what it is, but people like my mom still need some education on the subject.  Well friends, wonder no longer. Provided HERE are a number of definitions from Urban Dictionary.com from which you may gather further knowledge. To summarize, someone who is"Emo" suffers from emotional pain.  They dress in tight-fitting, dark-colored clothes and listen to musicians who scream about how the world hates them.  Many wear their hair just over their eyes and sport black studded belts.   Some of the more hardcore emo kids feel the need cut themselves in various places to "numb the emotional pain they feel inside," especially on the wrists.  My take is that they are simply doing their best to compensate for some past emotional trauma or lack of love/appreciation. Below are a few pics of people/things EMO. I hope you find this educational...

Emo culture is stereotypically associated with the emotional sensitive/unstable. Some boys find it is advantageous to act "emo" because they fail to develop what is considered normal relationships with other boys and they feel more comfortable around girls.  Longer hair is grown out and typically covers the eyes.  It's like an adolescent version of peek-a-boo; some consider it an unspoken cry for attention.  Some just think girls like sensitive guys.



Only funny if you don't have friends that "cut."



Get a hair cut. And quit playing D&D.




I learned from a girl named Candice at RHS that you cut up and down, not sideways; that is, if you REALLY want to die.

    I've never heard of EMO. I think the funniest one was the electric shaver instead of a razor blade. Glad you're not emo.

Rummi-"CUB" vs. Rummi-"CUBE"

The "Rummikub" Pronunciation Debate Affirmative Constructive: "Cub" For years, I have been a firm advocate and defender of the pronunciation, Rummi-"CUB".  The game box I grew up with spelled it, Rummicub  on the box. However, other productions of the game have variant spellings: Rummykub , Rummy Kube , Rummy Tiles , etc.  Based solely on box spelling, the game's true pronunciation is open to interpretation. Therefore, Rummi"cub" is equally acceptable to any other given pronunciation. Negative  Constructive : "Cube" My opponents argue that since the game originated over seas, we ought to respect and maintain its original pronunciation. Affirmative Rebuttal: Americanization of the Term When the game was brought to America and given Americanized rules, its name was also Americanized. Pronunciation loyalists then counter my rebuttal with, "there are lots of adopted foreign words that have retained their original pron...

Who's Got The Funk?

I am an amateur guitarist, and I've got no funk. My musical skills seem to lacking that special something . Great musicians have it . Those fortunate enough to have gotten hold of  it , create timeless hits. While musicians without it  fade into oblivion. After spending hours searching through Blues history websites and 1970's band documentaries online, I discovered what that special something  is thank to a (70% Man, 30% fish) character from the BBC show "The Mighty Boosh" named Old Gregg. He identified that  thing  as  The Funk ! But what exactly is The Funk ? Here is some dialogue from the show to help explain its origin and purpose: Old Gregg: You're a musician, yeah? Howard: Yes I am. Old Gregg: Butchya ain't very good, are ya? Howard: I'm one of the best in town. Old Gregg: Come on, I read your reviews. Hmm? You know what your problem is? Howard: What? Old Gregg: Ya ain't got the funk. You're all rigid. Hmm? You're l...

The Hit Single *Bang!* by AJR is about Suicide

Introduction I listened to the lyrics to the AJR song,  BANG!  for the first time today and immediately noticed its connection to suicide. Curious why this wasn't obvious to more people, I googled it and discovered that I may be  one of the few people who think this way. I'm not crazy, right? Pexels.com Song Analysis Listen to the chorus: "Everybody come hang (come hang). Let's go out with a bang. Bang! Bang! Bang!" These repeated words brought to my mind a couple of terrifying statistics:  Suicide is the SECOND leading cause of death for college-age youth and youth ages 12-18 ( CDC WISQARS ) The two leading methods of suicide (in high-income countries) are hanging and firearms ( The Parent Resource Program ). As I continued to examine the song lyrics, I realized EVERYTHING about the song supported my interpretation. This radio hit doesn't necessarily glorify suicide. It's more of a social commentary on the frustrating plight of American youngsters. It ...
