Sunday before final exams? Yeah why not watch a Roger-Federer game, tweet, and check my e-mail 3242341 times.

It's another Sunday, another means of putting off studying by venting on the Internet. Yeah, one of those. 
You know blog, you are slowly becoming a good friend of mine. I mean we all say we want honesty from a true friend, but I'm slowly appreciating the idea of a friend who NEVER judges. Sounds perfect to me! If I need to be judged, I'll fly back to Turkey to my parents, thank you very much.
It's amazing how one can come up with so many useless things to do in the act of procrastination. After checking my e-mail, Twitter, Facebook, school e-mail account, Lamebook, CNN.com, daily celebrity news blog, my e-mail once again, and my favourite guilty pleasure site (no, the celebrity news blog doesn't count, it's Jared-leto.net, fyi), I ran out of things to do. 'Do' meaning NOT an actual physical act of doing something, but merely entertaining the mind with only literally moving your fingers across a keyboard, mind you.
So I suddenly thought to watch some Friends episodes (a show I haven't thought about, oh maybe since the 90's?). Then look up spoilers on a TV show I don't even watch. Then look up 'red velvet cupcakes' on Google images. Then watch a tennis game (I don't even follow tennis). Then watch movie trailers of upcoming summer blockbusters on Youtube (I don't even like hollywood blockbusters- see a pattern here?) Then.... write a blog. You get my drift.

What the heck?
I mean, holy chocolate fudge! 
All the while I had the thought 'you need to study.....you need to study...EXAMS COMING UP THIS WEEK ONE AFTER ANOTHER...come on...' at the back of my head but I kept frantically pushing the thought back and desperately moving my fingers across the keyboard faster in search of something else to keep me occupied in cyberworld. 
Oh and I am over $400 in dept. Life problems + school problems are always there but I choose to ignorantly lose myself in Internet-realm instead!
What the stink is wrong with me?

This girl sang 'Bad Romance' by, oh you all know whose song it is. Heck, President Obama knows who Lady Gaga is at this point. He's probably jamming to 'I want your psycho, disease, vertical stick, gagagaga-ooooh lala' in his boxers at home, considering he has 2 tween daughters all over that stuff. Yeah, you're welcome for that sweet mental image of the President dancing in his boxers to Gaga. 
So what was I saying? Yeah, this girl sang a cover of this Bad Romance for a school event we had called Cultural Mosaic. Where people were supposed to showcase their traditional dances, songs, etc. Now, do you see anything wrong here? Am I the only one who thinks this is..just... wrong? Inappropriate? Embarrassing?
At this point I regretfully admit that our generation came to be all about THIS: songs about passing on diseases, promoting psychotic relationships. Who cares about what the future of our planet and our country enfolds, when we can dress in leotards and absurd hats singing about our 'bad, bad romance' ?
Never mind the fact that 'covering' a song used to be about a  piece of music so legendary that it needed to be tackled from different perspectives, and NOW the choice of 'songs' for covering are just ridiculous; I just can't believe people thought it sensible to present Bad Romance as a piece of their...our..culture. I am prone to laugh at that Youtube video of the little boy crying because he's not a 'Single Lady', or that little girl weeping because she 'loves Justin Bieber!!1!', but excuse me for not seeing the humour/fun/intended message(?) in COVERING a Lady Gaga song for a Cultural event. Just no.
Why am I venting about this here? Because I actually don't know the girl, even though I want to tell her I'm glad I didn't vote for her as my Social Sciences Director because her puking all over the floor at that fraternity party last week was NOT a quality I look for in people running our school government. She got the position anyhow, and will allegedly run for Vice President next semester, but oh well. 
What a corrupted world, ga-ga, ooh-lala.

I shall make greater effort to see the glass half full. Heck, it's not so bad spending your entire weekend not committing to any time with your friends because you're determined to study, then procrastinating the whole time at the Management Building drinking countless cups of coffee because you'd rather not be home witnessing your roommate and her boyfriend's routine morning sex. Not so bad at all. Did anyone manage to read that sentence without losing the trail of thought or dozing off? I surely didn't. 

Now why don't I stop blabbering, get myself another coffee, and go back to checking my evil trio of Twitter-Facebook-email accounts once (4324th) more. Satan's evil triangle, I tell you. Excuse me, mama gotz stuff to do. As you can tell, it's busy around here. (Comment this or the lack of attention I'm getting will defeat the purpose of me getting this blog. seriously.)

I'll be checking back 67 times a day. Adieu!
