So I decided to be a lazy ass and not blog on Tuesday or Wednesday. I'm American and yesterday was the sixth, I had an excuse to not blog. Basically, my excuse is the election and I'm sticking to it. Barack Obama beat He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named-Who-Rivals-Voldemort-In-Utter-Evilness 270-203 (overall it was 303-206 in favour of Obama obv.) so I celebrated...with drinks. A lot of them. Which led me to sleep in yesterday and when I woke up, I made my fucking pancakes, stared at the blog and promptly said fuck this and chatted on Skype with some friends.
I'm not going to go in on my political views because that's a topic that I just don't touch. Y'all have your views, I have mine. That being said, when I'm referring to Mr. Obama's former opponent, I will not use his name (nor the name of his running mate, for that matter) on this blog. I've got no respect for them. Plain and simple.
That being said, today's blog post is all about Blogger pissing me off, good music, and me delving back into the world of romanizing Korean song lyrics. I gather this'll be a long blog post. And to make it fair, I'll put up a navigation so that you can jump to whatever section you think appeals to you.
Sometimes, I love Blogger, I really do. And then there are other where I seriously question why the fuck I even bother with the site. Now before, I go on my tirade, I cannot stress how much I absolutely love using Blogger. Overall, Blogger is probably one of the best online blogging platforms (right up there with Tumblr and in some aspects, Wordpress) due to the fact that it's customizable and pretty straight forward to use (even with the update of the site's homepage). One of the best aspects to me was the fact that it still offers you the ability to use the Classic Template option, which is heaven for someone like me who appreciates the amazingness of using HTML and CSS to design their blogs.
That being said, I have a fucking bone to pick. Now, I love the concept of having the ability to convert to Classic Template, but Blogger why the fuck do you even bother if there are things that you can't do with Classic Template? Vital things. Do you genuinely think that it'll make people switch over to the “new” Blogger templates? Uhm...no. For one, the new Template is a mess of coding, I refuse to code for something that looks like complete rubbish, even if it's an update or easy. If it looks like bloody rubbish, I'm using it. Because of the lack of vital things working, people are leaving Blogger and looking for other places to call home.
Again, I absolutely cannot stress my absolute love for Blogger, seriously. When I first had a blog or found out what a blog was, I was all about Blogger and using MySpace blogs (no shit) and I always just clung to Blogger the most. So I rant and bitch out of the goodness of my heart. Blogger's new template coding ideal is fucking rubbish and I say this because all the coding is jammed together, it's obnoxious at best and unflattering at worst, it slows the fuck out of computer (I'm serious. If you're a blogger that posts a massive amount of pictures at a decent quality, read mores are needed on your blogs or it'll slow the fuck down on a person's computer), and obviously it's not for everyone. So why? Why if you know this crap isn't for everyone do you offer an alternative that isn't properly functional? It's just...I really can't.
What stemmed this? The fact that my page navigation won't work properly unless the posts are set 3 posts per page and it pretty much fucks up after page 2. Blogger. Get your shit together, thanks.
Instead of talking, I'm just gonna post some lovely songs and you can choose to listen to them or not. They are all of the Korean Indie/Ballad genre. Deal with it. You're welcome. Enjoy yourself.
{Handsome People (핸섬피플) | Woowei Woowei}
{Siaena (시애나) | 겨울이 오네 (Winter Is Coming)}
{Nell (넬) | thank you}
{YOZOH (요조) | 겨울이 오네 (Tokyo Girl) (feat. 김윤주)}
{Nine9 (나인) | 가위손 (Soaked Hands)}
When I first started this post, I was actually in the air about going back to romanizing Korean Indie/Ballad/Obscure lyrics...now I'm sure that I'll go back to doing it once again. Not as hardcore as I used to, but definitely something I'm going back to doing. Sadly, I can't help but be drawn into doing Korean romanizations and it's absolutely wonderful practice.
I actually cut this blog in half, I've got the world's most ungodly migraine and I'm in the dark with my laptop light on it's dimmiest setting and it doesn't seem to be getting any better. So I think I'm gonna get some food, chat a bit on Skype, make some tea, and then pass out. Cause this shit is really too fucking much.
