So everyone on Facebook is doing this Celebrity Look-a-Likes thing. It's offered from a genealogy site called MyHeritage.com and you upload a photo of yourself, which the site then matches to a database of celebrity photos. Then it makes a collage of you and the celebrities you apparently look like.
I got sick of constantly getting messages from people saying "Check out my celebrity look-a-likes" so I decided to break it. I went online, found a photo of a random celebrity, processed it, and this happened.
Ok folks, Colin Farrell apparently doesn't look like Colin Farrell. So there, it doesn't work. Stop now.
Oh Soapbox, how I have abandoned you. It's not my fault. I blame the internet. And yes I see the irony in blaming the internet for me abandoning my website, but its true. Web 2.0 has provided way to many options of the time wasting variety.
First I started really getting into MySpace, to the point where I developed a theory that Tom was actually The Brain from Pinky and The Brain and MySpace was a harebrained scheme to take over the world. And like all of The Brain's schemes it was working, right up to the point where some unexpected variable throws everything off track...
Facebook, ah Facebook. This thing has gotten frigging insane. It's beginning to rival MSN Messenger for the number of friends I have on Facebook, and the thing is addictive, I'm pretty sure that Facebook uses the same agent Starbucks uses to keep people addicted to their coffee. So much happens on Facebook too, theres photos, notes, wall postings, messages, groups, etc. And, of course, like MySpace, you can view your friend's friends and add them as your own, but on Facebook you even get to see how they know them. It's like someone went; "Ok, how do people waste time on the internet? Alright, now lets take that, minus all the porn, and put it all on one website! Gee, there was a lot of porn." I know you're saying; "Well, I waste a lot of my time on gossip sites" well Facebook has that too. You can see who's going out, how serious they are, who's hooked up, etc. and all that and it comes to you in a nifty little news feed on your Facebook home page. And the experience gets even better when you use Firefox and use the Facebook extensions like the toolbar and StudioLD skin.
And as though I wasn't wasting enough time on Facebook, Stumble Upon shows up to help me waste more time. This thing is great because it allows you to choose a bunch of interests and then when you're bored you click "Stumble!" and it will present a website you might find interesting. Not that interesting? Click it again and it'll show you a new site. It makes being bored so much less work.
So now, whenever I get bored instead of ranting about high fives or bayfriends, I just click "Stumble!" or join a group to discuss Brian Fellow's Safari Planet.
Here's something I wrote a while back but never bothered to post:
For years I’ve heard people say that trying to compare two different things was like “apples and oranges” as though those things were so different it was therefore impossible to pick between them.
I say fuck that, they’re fruit. You can pick you favorite fruit. Mine is Nathan Lane
But back to apples and oranges. I prefer oranges personally, but I still appreciate the need for the apple. Here’s why: oranges taste better, they make better juice, and people…one word…creamsicle. But apples are great in they’re own right. I mean, apples have the whole green apple flavor thing going for them, which is nice, and of course, the saving grace of the apple; mobility.
Oranges are great, but they need to be peeled or cut into halves or quarters. Apples you can have straight out of the crisper, no need for utensils. Simple.
So to summarize; if I’m just chilling out in my apartment, or having breakfast, or whatever I’ll go for an orange, but if I’m running late and need to eat on the move. It’s apples all the way.
By the way, I still stand firm on having orange juice IN cereal. I’m telling you, frosted flakes and OJ hits the spot.
* I know that’s offensive, but a) its funny, b) the Producers kicks ass.
