April Useless Observations
{{first_name}}, Rocco Rios Novo would've saved those.
In all seriousness, we've made it through yet another month in 2021. Shout out to everyone that's doing their part and getting vaccinated (#ModernaGang). We're inching closer to what is shaping up to be one of the wildest, busiest summers of all time as people make up for lost time. Hope everyone stays safe, but that's not why we're here. This is the April installment of Useless Observations and the previous installment can be found here. Shall we?
UO #1: iPads shouldn't have the ability to take photos.
UO #2: 67 degrees is the only temperature that works both as AC in the summer and as heat in the winter.
UO #3: They should really get rid of or possibly merge cable television channels. There's no reason to offer (and force subscribers to pay for) MTV if they're only going to show Ridiculousness 24 hours a day, and there's no need for Comedy Central now that YouTube and Netflix have every comedy special you could ask for. Don't even get me started on TruTV, a channel designed for courtroom drama, being the Impractical Jokers network.
UO #4: Jagged Edge "Let's Get Married" is the worst wedding song of all time. The song is about being in a relationship for so long that you're tired of lying, emptiness and loneliness to the point that you feel that marriage is inevitable. Essentially, your partner has been there through all your nonsense and they've worn you down to the point that you give in to the thought of tying the knot. The song literally says "We ain't getting no younger [so] we might as well do it." How romantic.
UO #5: Speaking of weddings, bridal showers used to be for brides-to-be to get gifts and items that the engaged couple would need once they got married and moved into a new home. Nowadays, relationships move a bit differently and most people have already cohabitated for a period of time before they get married. So why do bridal showers still exist in the year of our Lord 2021?
UO #6: Why are they called Black & Milds? No part of them is black, and they're definitely not mild either.
UO #7: Skunks are known to eat fermented fruits and berries and fall out of trees, hence the saying "drunk as a skunk" to describe extremely inebriated humans.
UO #8: I'm tired of rich people telling me the secret to success is positive thinking and the law of attraction. It completely discredits hard work, sacrifice, talent, preparation, skill and serendipity.
