#Rant

I've been wondering what's missing. It's not Regan, and it's not Bruce Springsteen, or Public Enemy, or Madonna, or Michael Jackson, or Nintendo.

It's strange how expression can be ground down to just mere emoticons, and commercials that suddenly lose the plot when you realize it's talking about herpes. I'm really touched by Matthew McConaughey's perspective on driving.....#Infinity

And it seems I'm always re-writing these advertisements while in my head thinking, "who writes this crap?".

in the meantime, I feel like some sort of unconscious observer. as #s have devoured commas and periods like the original Pac Mann ate pellets.

people don't actually talk like this. And I certainly remember the # being a symbol for one's telephone number. As in,

" Hey girl, lemme get yo # (hashtag) number"

I imagine the use of a # would be fair if it played into some sort of riddle. Such as,

"That motherfucker, in the neon green leotard who kinda pisses Batman off just blew up the question mark factory #TheRiddler"

It'd be funny if the 1960's Batman had a rival wearing a shit brown jumpsuit with a # on his chest. I can just hear Robin now,

"HOLY HARRY HOTDOGS, BATMAN! Wtf was that guy?"

Batman, "#".

I watch on the book of face how Merricans devour our own language, and shit out half enunciated syllables to communicate feelings, and symbols for two letters words, that already exist, example:

"When you be @ Beã's & she be cra-cra."

Those memes just goes right through me, like Taco Bell is Mexican food... And I love some Taco Bell.

Yet, there is no one that can be credited with this tiny little recreation; the once binary over night trend sensation into a colloquial short cut. Let's just say the "#" is just starting to come out of it's shell, because half of the kids that use it today haven't played a tic tac toe game since the 80's.
