A Poet's Words

One of my favorite quotes comes from William Wordsworth: "Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings."
However, another quote from one of my favorite actors comes from Will Smith, "I'm a poet, so I own the whole rap industry."
Now, I'm pretty sure if Smith were to look at these two quotes he'd go, "Oh hell no!"
Of course, he says that to just about everything--seriously, watch one of his movies. Anyhow, I feel that Wordsworth was correct--back then. His words fall flat when you look at the modern evolution of poetry--rap. There is nothing spontaneous or 'feely' with singing about popping caps in peoples asses, smoking drogs, or screwing hookers. Rap is an embarrassment to poetry. Yes, there are some artists who do it justice, but the good are outweighed by the bad.
As for Will Smith owning "the whole rap industry," I say naw--his rap ain't the greatest.

Walking into Google

Google's filled with surprises. First, I stumble upon the case of misogyny, and now Google's pulling the great wisdom of Boromir. I noticed this a while ago, figured some people might've missed it.
Go to google maps. Have the starting point, A, as the Shire and the destination, B, as Mordor. Then, click the walking button--the one with the person--and hit the get directions button. And voila:

The wise words of the late Boromir

It's quoting Lord of the Rings here--for those who didn't catch onto the pop culture reference. Anyhow, kudos to Google.

Memevolution

It's begun. Memes not only represent useless pop culture references, but now they actually reflect real life. The people who frequently use them--university students--have taken to making/posting memes that reflect their university and student life.

Now that meme culture reflects life, you jelly?
