Gleesh: The YOLO Epidemic

Recently there has been an epidemic worse than any zombie outbreak. I'm talking, of course, about the terrible over-use of the term YOLO. Many have heard it used and, usually, out of context, like so-many pop songs on the radio.

It is getting old.

Some of you may be asking Why can't they just say "carpe diem" or "seize the day"? Or even "Oh Captain, my captain"? What the hell is their deal? I've asked a few people that say it why they say it. The answer I got was It feels like something you yell on top of a mountain.


Well, spluh!

According to history, the 1920s were rife with slang that died off--probably unable to spread due to all the mobster deaths--only to be reborn again in the year 2020, killing off YOLO. Unfortunately, with the rising popularity of pocket watches, vests, and fedoras in the early 2000s, suspenders gained popularity in the early 2020s, thus signaling the Suspenders Wars. People were treated differently based on what held their pants up: belt or suspender.

 Those were dark times.  


Just remember: Hardly anyone says that something is fly or tight anymore and it has been a long time since I have heard anyone say that they are Livin' la vida loca.
People will stop saying YOLO soon enough and everything will be Jake.

Good News, Everyone!

Welcome to the World of Tomorrow! Sure, there are many ways of which you could have arrived to the future: waiting, time traveling, or even cryogenic freezing. From the perspective of people who lived in the early 1900s, the new millennium must have seemed such a strange and fascinating time.

A time of hope and promise.

                                          A time of jet packs and shiny metallic clothing.

                                                                                                               A time of wisdom.

Now, in the year 2012, we can safely look back on the theories writers and crackpots had about the year 2000 and comfortably laugh at their silly notions of Utopia/Dystopia  as we fight over important matters...like who is better: Lady Gaga or Nikki Minaj?

Clearly 2012 is filled with some interesting new wisdom, but what if we could look at the present from the wisdom of the distant future, say the year 3000?

What's that you say? Timmy just crushed your only flux capacitor with his model TARDIS?


That certainly sucks, but let us use a different window into the future. I'm talking about the wisdom laid before us from the brilliance of Futurama. Using ingenious quotes from the this hit show, this blog will help us understand and attempt to get through life's daily foibles.

I hope you enjoy it.
