Holy shit I just realized that World War 1 happened a century ago.

You know? I am bit surprised it took so long for the "I'm About to End This Man's Whole Career" to become a meme. Roughly 8 years after the original viral video was uploaded.

Yet this

And the other, similar scene from the same video. 

https://youtu.be/3gwyEyx5gJ0

Became memes not so long after the original upload. What I am trying to say is that the two scenes became a meme not so long after the video. Yet the phrase "I'm About to End This Man's Whole Career" became a meme very recently. 

I dunno, I just find it curious how it took so long for the phrase to catch-on.

It's been almost 11 years since the 2010 Haiti earthquake.


I know I'm many months late but it's been 10 years since the 2010 Chilean mining accident.

So Twitch removed the "pogchamp" emote. Huh.

... yeah, that's it. I don't much else to say.

Four months late, but remenber the comic strip Blondie? September of last year was Blondie's 90th anniversary.

People back then: "FUCK YOU, 2016!! GOD, WHAT A HORRIBLE YEAR! *sigh* Well, at least it's over now. Things can't get any worse, right?"

Then 2020 happened...

Sixty years ago today, Yuri Gagarin became the first person to travel into the cosmos.

A month late, but it's been 10 years since the 2011 Japan earthquake and tsunami. The video below was made at the time in memory of all the victims.

Remenber when some people thought the world was going to end back in December 21, 2012? Shit was wild. And it all happened because some people misrepresented the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar (the calendar used by the Mayans and other Mesoamerican cultures), ROLF.

Man, it's been 9 years since the Megaupload was taken down... I recently remenbered Megaupload was a thing and also the Megaupload song.

Throwback Thursday!

Anyone remenber Windows Live Messenger (AKA MSN Messenger or just MSN)? I do. I remenber how I was bummed when it was essentially killed by Skype.

R.I.P Windows Live Messenger (1999-2012).

I often see people who think that being the protagonist of the story and being the villain of the story are mutually exclusive concepts.

Being the protagonist/main character of the story has NOTHING to do with moral aligment. There are plenty of protagonists who are evil bastards (AKA villains). With that being said I understand the confusion, as most of the time the main character tends to be a hero or at least someone who you can root for.

Happy Father's Day!

Don't you find it funny how when we are waiting for something (or just living our daily lives in general) times seems to move slow, but then when you look back you go "holy shit, time went fast!".

Happy 4th of July!
