Graphic copied from here. There was a time, believe it or not, when the declaration on the graphic above was a fairly common sight in Metro Manila. Enough that it was a minor nuisance, like jejemons are right now, I suppose. From t-shirt prints, to vandalisms on walls, to fake tattoo s on prepubescent punkistas. Never mind that the declaration was total nonsense. It was popular. And so just about every lemming youth who wanted to be different -- like his peers, rode on the bandwagon. I wonder if these people ever learned the meaning of "irony"? Where are they now? Did they grow up to become the guy whose job is to call passengers to fill up jeepneys? Did any of these punkistas ever make it as a bank executive? Are there call center agents now who ever wore a "punks not dead" t-shirt? I have not seen a t-shirt, a vandalism, or a fake "punks not dead" tattoo in years. Is punks finally dead? Is it safe to declare that here now? Alright. Let me...
Could I rephrase this statement into something that suits me more?
ReplyDeleteSomething like "Those who have abstained to the point of pain can truly appreciate a good round." Then I'll follow it up with "Be grateful for the Frigid wife."
Nyahahaha!!!
That will work too, Noz.
ReplyDeleteHey, all I am saying is that we forget to be grateful for the normal. With all the shit going on in the world, NORMAL is a great thing. Children starving in Somalia would be so happy to have one normal boring day.
I guess so. Even I used to wish I was normal.
ReplyDeleteBe thankful for slow news day. Reporters making so much fuss over Justin Bieber is better than them covering another tragedy.
ReplyDeleteTama ba, Don Dee?
Exactly. Tulad na lang kahapon, the one a half hour of primetime news was nothing but reports on non-news. Di ba't merong rule na "Dog bites man, not news. Man bites dog, news". So yung siksikan sa sementeryo kahapon, news ba yun o hindi? But yeah, we should all be glad it was a normal Undas.
