First and foremost, to the survivors of the Mayan Apocalypse, Happy Merry 2013 and Happy Belated Christmahannukwanzaakah Solstice! Since it is now 2013 AD, let’s get real in this bitch.
I have been debating, (internal quarrel. I am getting violent but will handle it by myself. Get it? I-vs-myself. I sleigh me. LOL) whether I should write about:
1. Congress (over it)
2. Gun Control (been over it), or
3. The Vikings (seed 6 bitches)
I decided to start the year’s first blog with my favorite topic of discussion: MUSIC. As you may or may not know, I am undoubtedly a music enthusiast. I strongly believe that music is the great equalizer and decides 74% (yes, this is an exact percentage) of what you need to know about a person. Favorite genre, preferred listening venue, understanding of the production quality, these factors determine compatibility (Match.com, off my nuts).
Traditionally, each genre has its very own predictable group of listeners. You have your hillbillies and bluegrass, your Goths and Death Metal, your tweens and Justin Beiber, etc. Recently, however, I have noticed an increasing number of nonconventional followers for various music types.
For instance, gangster rap is, for the most part, listened to by gangsters . . . #Duh. Who would’ve guessed that it takes a certain type of person who is capable of withstanding lyrics about the sale and use of illegal drugs, the degradation of women, and the glorification of violence to listen to this genre? Now when a woman, we shall call her Last-Name-Savopolos, knows that Juicy J can’t say no to ratchet bitches, we must ask ourselves, how do you know that?
My answer: the thermodynamics law of entropy!
Only seemingly random (LMAO, will make sense later), this law of physics can be used to explain the aforementioned cultural observation. Not sure what I’m talking about? Well of course you don’t. You’re normal. I am the geek, but here goes it.
One fine day, I am sitting in science class in Middle School and fake-me-out-Bill-Nye starts going in on this topic of “entropy,” or the law of disorder. Now, it was explained to me years ago (during the horrific school hours of 7AM to 2PM), but my memory is a little fuzzy. So this is what it I think it means now, courtesy of the internet:
The law of entropy states that all matter and energy in our universe is evolving toward an inevitable steady state of deterioration, randomness, and disorder.
AKA, the end of the world is coming AND it is going to be chaotic AND that chaos is happening around us . . . right now . . . steadily getting worse. Comforting I know, but if it makes you feel better this law is a phenomenological theory (is based off of observations and holds no theoretical proof). So, don’t be so devastated. Any-way, this theory is un poco complicado, so here are a few ejemplos:
Example 1: Salt placed in a cup of water will disperse completely and randomly. It’s really hard to undo.
Example 2: Your room is clean. If you leave and come back in a month, there will be a thin layer of dust on top of all your belongings. It’s really hard to re-clean.
Example 3: If you age wine for 50 years, the chemicals therein will cause it to become less bitter and form polymers and other stuff to make it taste good. This process is hard to undo.
So get it now? Well, if not, #BingThatBitch. I gotta move on.
In short, entropy explains why my favorite shirt has a hole in the armpit. Entropy is why marriages end in divorce. Entropy is why reality TV exists. Entropy explains everything that is broken, torn, disrupted, falling apart, upside down, dirty, pink, or whatever else is in a state of chaos.
And entropy explains why Last-Name-Savopolos and I, although are culturally different, can laugh about ratchetness. To some, this may be chaotic. But I think it’s pretty damn cool.
Plus, chaos is the red-headed step child of concepts. It only seems destructive to the untrained eye (NRA certified sharpshooter #zing). Really, it just wants to bring things together, and by things I mean EVERYTHING. See, it’s not so bad after all.
So Long story Short, entropy is cool. Chaos is really complicated but also really cool. And the intermingling of cultures and music is just one step closer to everyone getting along, aka the end of the world.
