Undergrad By Day

In Style

I've been on a little hiatus from blogging because I've been swamped with work.

Actually, that's a lie. I haven't been blogging because I haven't anything interesting to say. AND I've been swamped with work. Really.

Not to say that my life is boring or anything.. Noooooo noooo... I'm undergrad by day and KIAP SAM BONG by night! KIAP SAM BONG!

Er, yeah.

If the name KIAP SAM BONG doesn't ring a bell, it just means that you're not in with the latest trend going around. It's the next thing on the "things that all cool people need to do to be defined as cool" list. cool. Like those LiveStrong bands thing on your wrist. Everyone who's worth a tenth of his ERS has watched Russell Peters. Anyone who's worth her last stub of lip stick has caught Russell Peters. It's the latest comedy download to go around and everyone's quoting from it.

With permanently plugged-in students, where the P2P software is always just lurking off the desktop, it doesn't take very much for really good comedy material (heck any material) to end up in the hard disks of hardworking SMU students, disrupting classes all over the campus. You either know about it and be counted among the "in" crowd or you summon up the best fake laughter you've got (since you force-laughed at your girlfriend's father's stupid racist joke) when the whole class is going nuts about it and then quietly go download it for yourself hoping that no one finds out. Well, better not let anyone find out, you hermit. Remember, it's Russell Peters. (If you really missed out, check out Dave Chapelle, Pablo Francesco) Download now and be counted among the cool. You still have hope.

Talking about cool, there's a tagline for a jeans ad that goes Some things will never go out of style. I might be inclined to agree. How do you go out of style if you were never in fashion in the first place?

Of course, I'm kidding. Sure your degree is stylish and versatile. Like a pair of jeans. Very creative. Very different.

*Stares into empty space*

I just saw this ad on tv for the Ray Charles compilation CD. Begs the question, why wasn't he lauded as the genius that they say he was for the last twenty years? Why is he only really good now, after he passed away? Maybe thats the way things work. Somethings become really stylish or "in" when dying or dead.

But Russel Peters isn't dying. Hmm.. ah well, ER is back on.
