I'm watching music videos here this morning. I've been on a quest for new music lately. The prodigious amount that I currently have simply is not filling my void for sound to fill my day. I'm trying MuchMusic for clues towards what to acquire.
I have a comment. Now its not exclusive to the genre, but it does provide the most common occurence. They write about half a song. As I've said, its not a general rule, but what is typically referred to as 'R&B' is the most common culprit. Every song has about two sets of verses. Then they loop the damn chorus about 96 times to fill up the time between 1 minute and the 3-1/2 minutes that constitute a radio/video-friendly song.
Shouldn't we demand a little more from these artists? Each song gets annoying quickly, because the repetition grates on the nerves.
Just a thought. Feel free to kick me in the head if I'm wrong.

Okay, I think its time we made a move with the English language. All of these stupid exceptions have got to go. I mean really, this is ridiculous. Why do we have this 'i before e except after c' crap? Come on! Does it really accomplish anything by having this stupid exception? Let's just change all 'ie' words to 'i before e' without exceptions. There are multiple generations of children who can be aided in their spelling if we just dump a completely useless exception to a perfectly valid rule.
Who do I petition to have this changed? Is it the dictionary writers? Is there some grammar and spelling world body against whom I can lodge my complaint? Anyone have any thoughts on how to accomplish this?

Could someone please explain to me, what set of thought processes could lead an otherwise normal looking person to choose to put a ring through their lip? Is there any set of circumstances that would make this a good idea?
I was looking at it today, at the Esso station in Moosomin and for the life of me I couldn't figure it out. Okay, if you've chosen to adorn your face with 17 other piercings, including eyebrow(s), nose, six dozen ear piercing and only god knows what else you wanna stick metal through, then maybe a ring through the lip with fit the general motif. But if that's the ONLY abnormal piercing visible, what in the hell says to you in the morning, today's the day I insert a large, gaudy hoop through my lip, such that I can't speak, eat or use my mouth in its current capacity.
I swear some people are functionally retarded.
