Anything But Coffee

I recently just moved to a new apartment and just got my cable and internet turned on.

First off I’d like to say that coming from using Direct TV as my cable provider to now having to go with Charter Cable is a huge difference. Direct TV is just better!

Direct TV’s guide layout is much more user friendly and easier to read; Charters is scrunched together and an ugly lavender type of color with out ever showing any more information about the show other then the name.

Plus the remote from Charter is just so not ergonomically correct… I miss my Direct TV!

Sorry about that, this is supposed to be about the show Daisy of Love on VH1 not my hatred of Charter. So anyway, now that I have my cable set up last night I was trying to learn the new channel layout and came across Daisy of Love. I’ll admit I watched her on Rock of Love and something about her kinda grew on me so figured I’ll check out her new show see what its all about.

To no surprise, the cast of the show was made up of nothing but camera happy douchbags. I was caught off guard seeing 12 pack from I love New York on here but then he opened his mouth and it all made sense.

Anyway here is my run down and understanding about what is going on so far. I guess this was episode 5 of this season and already Daisy was an emotional mess because someone named London decided to leave the house. This upset all the now sensitive douchbags because they all love her so much after spending a couple days with her and some felt betrayed over her strong heart break with London leaving.

This episode they had to design a photo shoot for the cover of her new single, I have no idea what its called. I could probably look it up but then I’d never get those minuets of my life back and for what; not like it really matters right.

The first team did a retro Hollywood style shoot making Daisy up in a pseudo Marlyn Monroe fashion, which she looked very beautiful. That was until good old 12 pack decided to make it a photo shoot about him. Lets face it man, you are never going to make anything of your self more then a D list or under celebrity, so may as well milk it for all that he can.

The second team decided to make it a more rock out crazy style photo shoot. The shoot was going well until this uber Douchbag named Fox decides that because he is a “Hair Stylist” he is going to kick out the professional hair and makeup person and take over. And then Fox decided to jump in the shoot and make it all about him.

Somehow, after Daisy chose team 2’s photo as the winner, Fox is named MVP and wins a 1 on 1 date. It must have been his powers of douchbaggery that persuaded her.

The best part about this date was when she actually tried to have a conversation with Fox. Sadly Daisy comes off as a an air head most of the time. This may be an act or it may be her, who knows. But compared to Fox she seems like a Harvard professor.

There is so much more about this show I could get into but for now this is enough. This was only the first half of the show, there’s a whole 30 min more of crazy ass stuff I can get into. I’m sure I will in a while, but if you feel the need check out Daisy of Love on VH1 and see for yourself.

At first glance at the beautifully formed butts of these women playing cricket in Panama you almost can’t believe your eyes. And there very well may be a reason for that. After the initial shock and awe, let’s take a closer look at these images.

Now ignore the faint watermark of someones signature across the images but look closely at the edges of their hips and thighs. You notice the slight difference in the grass background compared to the rest of the grass, it’s slightly bent. This is noticeable in the 2nd image with the grass and the mans shoe as well as with the the fence background in contrast to the butts in the last image.

Now either the butts of these beautiful women are so amazing that they are actually bending spacetime or this image has been touched up in Photoshop to slightly improve their butts. You decide.

Once upon a time, back in June of 2007, I came across a tiny little micro-blogging site called Twitter.

Twitter wasn’t much of anything at this point in time; think of it as a freshly hatched baby Blue Jay, brand new to the world but with a ferocious appetite and incredible urge to spread its wings and fly.I wasn’t too sure of the purpose or benefit of joining Twitter but I decided to anyway (follow me on Twitter).

As with any young website it’s membership was small and the functionality wasn’t always working at it’s best. And the fact that it was practically unheard of outside of the social networking community, it was hard to enjoy the point of the site, which is to communicate with other people.

Seriously, whats the point of tweeting all day long if there are no members to read them and interact with?

So like any good social networker, when trying to do my part and spread the word of Twitter, I often received a look of confusion and the comment “WTF is Twitter” became a part of my daily life. I had a couple friends who would at least humor me and signed up but the most common reaction from everyone was “this is stupid“.

Now from my experiences with early days of MySpace, Facebook, Friendster and as an internet marketer, I knew the potential that Twitter possessed. All it needed, just like the little baby Blue Jay, was some nourishment and time to learn how to spread it’s wings and fly.

Oh My, Look How Twitter Fly’s

Twitter slowly started to gain its popularity through word of mouth, social networking, bloggers, tech-websites and TV shows like G4 TV.

Then suddenly, out of no where, around October 2008 Twitters popularity exploded. Mainly due to the very public exposure to the media and masses in general from its use during the historical presidential elections. Every News channel you went on you would hear them mention Twitter. Some knew what it was while others had no clue but everyone was talking about it. Twitter became part of daily vocabulary for any news or talk show. Celebrity’s joined Twitter, public officials and even the Republican party decided to join.

Steven Colbert was even the first person on TV to make a controversial issue in reference to the site by using the past tense form of the word Tweet to Twatted on the Today Show, which sent the censors into a frenzy trying to decide if Mr. Colbert just committed an FCC violation or not.

The Future is Twitter

In just under 3 years of Twitters creation it is now the 3rd most popular social networking site on the internet with a membership of approximately 5,979,052 and monthly visits of 54,218,731 at the time of this writing. Twitter has worked its way into our public consciousness, and has done something that no other internet property has ever been able to do; successfully bridge the gap between the real world and the internet:

• For the first time in history of the internet and television; thanks to News agency’s such as CNN, MSNBC, FOX News and so on; a news anchor can make a statement and be able to get a real time response from a viewer thousands of miles away and be able to respond back in a matter of minutes all to the benefit of everyone watching.

• Celebrities can now offer a little bit more of a personal connection between them and their fans, allowing their fans to know aspects of their daily life without any real intrusions into their privacy.

• Companies and corporations are now able to connect more with their target audience and get real time feed back and offer special Twitter promotions to their followers.

It’s truly amazing to see how such a once thought of as insignificant website such as Twitter would actually be responsible for changing the direction of the internet and the world.

What’s even more amazing is that Twitter is able to accomplish this with only 140 characters at a time.
