Satirical Spaceballs Stunt-Double Scene

Hello all!

This may seem like a strange first "real" post, but this idea is what really made me start up this whole blog thing, so it seemed fitting to write it as soon as possible. So I was sitting in my Introduction to Classical Rhetoric course, learning about early Greek rhetoricians when the movie "Spaceballs" popped into my head, if you have not seen it, go watch it now. Okay, obviously no one did that, but watch it at some point, you can probably still understand what's going on in my weird head without watching the whole thing. Aaaaand there's this thing called YouTube where people with way too much time on their hands, post way too many things and sure enough.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwV61t_Tec8 So, just watch this before you continue reading. It's only a minute. C'mon. Please? Fine. Here we go. You people are so fuckin' lazy.

And apparently so am I. I had all these ideas about what this post was gonna be. Like some sort of satirical take on how the stunt doubles were really stunt doubles even though they were acting as stunt doubles. But as it turns out, I didn't write this soon enough, I got through the first paragraph, saved it as a draft and in the next 2 months proceeded to lose all my notes with extremely complex, almost entirely useless information and now I've completely forgotten everything. So like I said, fuckin' lazy.

Here's the deal, I want to be a writer (journalist, online blogger, reviewer of... things, I don't know, stop pressuring me) so this is me telling you, that despite my previous laziness, I'm gonna start updating this blog. My next post will be created by next Thursday and will either be about some very special movies in my life, sexism, my issues with the two party system in the U.S. or... something else. If anyone is actually reading this, please leave me a comment about what you would like to see next on.... Why???

Stop reading now (and go do something worthwhile, or not, it's really up to you, like seriously, it's your life, do whatever you truly want),

Coming Soon...

Just a heads up, I am still working on my first "real" post. Stay tuned as it should be out by the end of Friday. Expect some satire, expect some Spaceballs, expect the unprepared, as my very confused friend always said.

Welcome

Hello all!

My name is Kellen O'Neill and this is a blog about the subtler things in life that may or may not matter, but usually leave you scratching your head and thinking, "why?" And hopefully not in the annoying way that is most used by toddlers (in reference to this YouTube video, a darkly funny stand up comedy routine by Louis C.K. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4u2ZsoYWwJA), but rather in the way that the great Greek phalafelers once did. Sourcrates Cream being one of the most famous. I would like to say at this time that bad puns won't be the majority of this blog, but it's sort of hard to control so I can't make any promises. What I can promise is I will make you think. About funny things, serious things, maddening things. Anything that comes into my head during a long, boring college class, or while playing League of Legends, or even while playing soccer. My only request for you is that you take these things that you think and you talk about them with other people, create a discussion, because from discussions between human beings have all great things come. That's not really a thing, I just made it up.

Stop reading this now,
Kellen
