sort of like...

some say i am a fine writer and i am not so sure of that but i guess i am one of those books you can't put down... most of the reading i do is online so i understand the first person point of view...

some say i should be an author of a book or so and honestly i have about 6 "chapters" written... but how long does a chapter have to be? or even a book? could this blog be a book? i think in this day and age any words on an assumed page could be considered a book and besides those of value in museums and such, the wave of the future will probably be ridden by e-"books" to furthur damage our eyes like the computer screen has. remember what happens if you sit too close to the tv? well, same thing as before, except the forcefield stopping all that radiation in this case is a keyboard...

so what's all this mean?

i was watching the BBC america station and it showed a guy from top gear who, some say, drives really slow. in fact he is the head man for the job, so he is called "captain slow" on the show. james may has a drinking show all about wines and such as well and what i noticed is this:

english people use "sort of" in place of the american teen's obsession of "like" and use it in the same way:

"this wine tastes, sort of, oaky and goes down your throat with a, sort of, smooth silky texture... "

bring that a bit west and it comes out like this:

"i, like, taste the barrels of oak in the wine and, like, um, enjoy the smoothness of it."

if you watch enough BBC you will notice the english and those from the UK use "sort of" in a way like no other... i can only describe it as one that resembles that of a US teen's use of "like". yet oddly i don't find it annoying like you would from a valley girlish teenager.

some say i repeat myself, but others say it is good to say things more than once to get your point across.

either way, like, to sort of hear more 'some say's, watch the ORIGINAL top gear on the BBC... ! the american version is, sort of, rather it IS a rip off from the stunts they do to everything else. i only saw one of them and it had been an american replica of a top gear rerun i had just seen. and the FACT that they have a new season (the american top gear) shows you why there are no good new movies or tv shows out there anymore...

wow this turned into a side note that should change the sort of like post into a massacre...

but really... Mel Brooks had it right when Colonel Sanders and Helmet were looking to find Lonestar, Barfolomew, Princess Vespa and Dot Matrix when they crash landed on the moon of Vega... they had the VHS copies of the movie made and ready to go before the movie was finished... ("OK PASS THIS, PASS THIS PART... IN FACT NEVER PLAY THIS AGAIN" -- Helmet watching himself fly into the ship's dashboard when they went from ludicrous speed to a dead stop and he crushed his helmet... prequel to the infamous "we're at now, now" scene... ) thats kinda like watching a sequel before watching the prequel when you didn't know the sequel even had a prequel or was it the original movie... ?

ever watch a dog chase its tail? its sort of like that.
