Taphophilia

I have no time for updates right now, BUT: I looked stuff up and it appears I am a taphophile. It's nothing dirty, it's just a name for people who have a passion for and enjoy cemeteries. That's me, a taphophile, nice to meet you.

VMA update 4

For those of you who are wondering why I haven't said anything about Janet Jackson's performance, the Michael Jackson tribute or the 'This Is It' trailer. I need the time to enjoy these things for myself and to watch them again. Those moments made the award show for me personally. I would not do it justice by talking about it right now, the Michael Jackson portion of the show needs it's own entry and review. That's why I left it out of the VMA-hassle.

VMA update 3

Beyonce, you damn near made me cry. That was the most gracious act ever.
For those who have no clue what's happening:
Taylor Swift could not finish her thank yous because Mr. Kanye decided to interrupt her, having to put his two cents in for Beyonce not winning. Swift was left on stage not knowing what to do and her moment was kind of cut short and ruined.
Beyonce remembered how important it was for her to win her fist ever award and offered her moment to Taylor. Grace.

VMA update 2

So I'm not saying that:
  1. VMAs are unimportant.
  2. Kanye's a douche
  3. Taylor Swift's video is the best one I ever saw
Again, perspective people. This award show IS about the videos and NOT about performances and/or singing abilities. It's about who makes the video that appeals to people most. To me, this award show is less important than the Grammies or the Music awards. Not to say that it isn't fun though.
What happened? Taylor Swift won the award for 'Best Female Video'. Beyonce was also nominated and Kanye West felt that she should have won, because she is the best artist at the moment. Kanye would not be Kanye if he didn't climb on stage to tell people that. He interrupted Taylor Swift to do his thing, while poor Taylor stood there not being able to finish her thank yous and not knowing what to do. This was her very first MTV award and obviously that was very important to her. I felt very bad for her. (For the record I do think that Taylor Swift is a good singer. I quite like her.)
Kanye's action during Taylor Swift's thank-yous was uncalled for. As I said, this said nothing about her performances or her abilities as a singer. Of course she shouldn't have won if this was a music award show, bacause 'Single Ladies' is a better song than her song 'You Belong With Me'. But it's not a music award show. This time, it IS about entertaining people visually. I'm sorry Kanye, but this time, you're wrong. (But in any other award show, he would have been right)

VMA update

Good morning. At this very moment I am watching the MTV Video Music Awards. I'll probably go back to sleep after and analyze things in the morning. I can already say that Kany West has spoken up about his personal favorites already. Expect an update soon!
