Hello all,
this is potentially the first (I don't remember) and probably the last (who can say, I'm not great at sticking to promises I make myself) serious blog that I will ever do.
And in saying that, the only thing serious about it is that the words that will follow are all true.
This music video, by We Are Scientists comes as breath of fresh air for me, swimming around in a sea of uncertainty about who I am and who I want to be when I am older, a breath of fresh oxygen which will keep me alive while I am underwater in this sea of tempestuous waters which I shall, for the sake of this post, call Growing Up.
The song, 'Rules Don't Stop Me' initially presents itself as a lame, outdated stab at authority figures, the theme of the song is basically what would happen if Bart Simpson never really grew up, but moved to New York with his heart set on proving to the world that he truly was a rebel.
However, the video itself is so 'sillie' that I felt the immeasurable urge to spend the rest of my life trying to embody exactly what goes on in these 2 minutes and 16 seconds. They jump around, they get someone's dad involved in the video, they have their heads turn into giant cubes, they cuddle, they fight, it's madness. And it just reminds me that that's all I really want to be, a sillie do0d with the mental capacity to be serious when he needs to and to entertain others.
Fuck you adulthood, fuck you adulthoof, fuck you hipsterdom, I'm getting a tattoo of a sharkboy with a speech bubble that says 'Stay Fun Eddie!' cause THATs how you spell my name, and THATs what I want.
