For a week I have counted cars that passed by...

...and I found out on average, for every 10 cars that pass by 7 only had one person driving. Shame people. For a country trying to be green, they sure aren't encouraging car-pooling.

Autotune: It's a tool, not an instrument.

The majority of songs nowadays are plagued with auto-tuned singers (I refuse to call them 'artists'); so much so that there is a generation of people that believe that singers sound all robot-y to sound cool when in actual fact is to hide their lack of actual singing prowess.

Granted, using minimal, hardly-noticable auto-tune is fine for studio recording since y'know they want the album to sell. Taylor Swift comes to mind.

But 1998 auto-tune gained mainstream success when Cher's Believe was released. That song was intense auto-tuned one wouldn't recognize it was really her.

And because of that one song, the music industry had never been the same. Anyone who HAD a voice could release a single, as long as they had the $$$. Ke$ha anyone? It was hard to difference faux singers from the true artistes.

An excerpt of Time magazine:

"It's a technology that can make bad singers sound good and really bad singers (like T-Pain, pictured here) sound like robots. And it gives singers who sound like Kanye West or Cher the misplaced confidence that they too can croon. Thanks a lot, computers."

Things adults say #1: How are your kids?

Mom: Hi (friend)!
Friend: (Random chatter) And how are your kids?
Mom: Oh, they're big now.

Duh. Of course we're big now. What? We shrunk in your absence?

If I were a typical blogger...

...I would say something like this:

 Before loving others, you must love yourself. <3 =3

Hipster Insights #3 Baby heads.

If I let a baby wear a cubic helmet, given a baby's malleable skull, when it's around a few years old, I remove the helmet. It would be so funny to have a square-headed child.

Michael Jackson and Elvis, disrespected.

When Elvis died, fans mourned. A few months later people started to do Elvis impersonations. Now it's happening to MJ. Why? If I were MJ I'd tell God to zap anyone who did it.
