Saturday: YouTube Surfing

Wheyy! First lie in for many many days = epic win. Got my hair cut so it is now very managable and nice = another epic win. Got back from the hairdressers and did a bit of English coursework, which to be honest is pretty wicked to write. I got a bit bored and ended up, after playing some Lego Batman, just surfing YouTube. As you do. I'd known about it for ages, but decided to re-check out that video of the Filipino prisoners doing the Thriller dance. Awesome! If you haven't seen it, you must've been living under a rock or something - it's had over 18 million views. And so I'm watching this video, and then I find out that they've done more. More and more and more. They do live performances. Shame it's in the Filipines and they're all murderers, rapists etc... anyway. So yeah, that looks like so much fun. This one made me laugh loads though:

Why does this never happen on Prison Break? Next time that guy with the shaved head should just, y'know, dance his way out. I love how it just miraculously sueges into MC Hammer, completely out of the blue. If I ever went to prison, I'd probably do the hammer dance. Beats getting raped in the showers. After that, I decided that I hadn't seen the original Micheal Jackson Thriller video for ages. I watched all 13 minutes. It seemed like a good idea at the time. And to be honest, it was pretty ace. I do still maintain that he did his best material in the Jackson 5, but Thriller? What a tune. And the video is amazing! He dances almost as well as a Filipino prisoner... And then that brings me onto what I did next. I generally regard the Jackson 5's "ABC" to be the best pop song of all time, and decided to find the video. I don't think they ever made one. Massive shame. Especially cos Micheal Jackson wasn't, like, a freak or anything. He was better when he was tiny with a huge afro. So after that, I have no idea how I got to it, or why, but I found the original Macarena video. And in it, they danced etc, but didn't really seem to do the proper Macarena dance. Wtf? Also, the Macarena fits to SO many songs - basically anything with a 4/4 beat. I remember a couple of years ago at a gathering doing it to Slipknot's Duality... Weird.

I went to the football again (twice in 5 days - wtf?) and scarily it wasn't too bad. Sure, there was many-a-dickhead in the crowd, but, despite the fact we lost, Forest played very well, deserving at least one goal, and especially the win. And everyone is blaming the manager - what's that all about? At the end of the day, they played pretty well, but were just unlucky when it came to scoring, and there's only so much the manager can do. Got home, and have subsequently done very little. I found this. Jealousy doesn't even cover it. So now I'm doing nothing except listening to some funky music (Daft Punk, Dizzee Rascal, Pendulum, The Whip), blogging and dancing a little bit. But not as much as a Filipino prisoner.
