Twitter Rap

Yes, two posts in one day. I'm trying to show my blog some love. I used facebook too much now for most of the social stuff and twitter for joking around and myspace only because a few friends haven't switched over to facebook yet but I have not abandoned the ol' blog completely. And since the following is far more than 140 characters I'm going to unveil my new freestyle here. Please enjoy.

Fell in love with a girl on twitter
She broke my heart, now I’m bitter
Now she’s dating some guy named Charlie
But if she were dating another chick that’d be gnarly

Fell in love with a girl on twitter
She was a professional babysitter
I’d come over after the kids were asleep
Hey FCC, here comes the beep-beep-beep!

Fell in love with a girl on twitter
I went to high school with Joel Whitter
Now I’m just sounding like a creep
Hey FCC, here comes the beep-beep-beep!

Fell in love with a girl on twitter
Like Gyllenhaal and Ledger you know I can’t quit her
Keeps me up all night but who needs sleep
Hey FCC, here comes the beep-beep-beep!

"So it's sorta social, demented and sad, but social."

Gotta take a few moments to pass on my condolences to the now late but always great John Hughes. The writer/director/producer extraordinaire of such seminal classics as Sixteen Candles, Vacation, The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, Some Kind of Wonderful, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Weird Science, Uncle Buck, The Great Outdoors, Planes Trains and Automobiles, She's Having a Baby, Career Opportunities.

After last directing a film with 1991's Curly Sue he stepped away from Hollywood, still occasionaly worked as a screenwriter on projects of varying success (Maid in Manhattan, Drillbit Taylor) but his impact on the world of film and pop-culture in the 80s is untouchable.

I recently re-watched The Breakfast Club again after having not seen it in many many years and I could still recite every line. I was quickly reminded why I used to watch it and so many other Hughes' films ad nauseum when I was younger. I am pretty sure I'll be re-watching most of them again in the next few weeks to honor the man and enjoy the singularity all over again.
