An 18 year old's outlook on the rofls of life

'Rebecca Black's Friday is an allegory depicting the communist issues facing society today. Discuss.


Rebecca Black has been depicted in the media as a trivial, forthright public annoyance. Her infamy has made her a youtube phenomenon which, though infuriatingly frustrating, is a sort of achievement - as Jimmy Carr says 'It's like being the best looking guy in the burns ward'. However, the song that caused this fame - 'Friday' has not been unpacked. The song's true meaning has not been brought to light and here I hope to expose this meaning.

'7am, waking up in the morning
Gotta be fresh, gotta go downstairs
Gotta have my bowl, gotta have cereal'
This is obviously a sentiment against communism. Perhaps she is being forced to 'be fresh', perhaps her leader has ordered that civilians must 'go downstairs', 'have my bowl' and 'have cereal'. This shows a lack of democracy across the world. Black is trying to express to society how communist her country has become through this subtle message about morning routine. This subtlety itself also depicts a democrat's cry for help in a communist world.

Seein’ everything, the time is goin’
Tickin’ on and on, everybody’s rushin’
This is an ingenious message to the listener about how the human race lives for tomorrow and doesn't enjoy the present. Black is portraying to us that society should stop worrying about the future so much that they are forgetting to enjoy the present. The phrase 'tickin' on and on' depicts time slipping away from humanity. Global warming is definitely a theme of this song, Black is imploring that humanity slows down and enjoys the happiness presented before them today.

Gotta get down to the bus stop
Gotta catch my bus, I see my friends (My friends)
Ok. Now here we have an interesting contradiction in terms. Because here the song clearly states 'gotta catch my bus'. Yet the video depicts a car with several 8 year olds within. This presents an interesting literary question. Perhaps Black is referring once again to the communism featured previously in the piece. By defying the 'gotta catch my bus' with the fact that she actually uses a car as transport to her place of learning, perhaps Black is giving us hope that the communists can be beaten. We can only hope.

Further on in the song, we hear,
It’s Friday, Friday
Gotta get down on Friday
The repetition of the word 'Friday' is to reinforce the idea that yes, it is Friday. Again, reference to the communism presented to society in this age 'gotta get down on Friday'. Perhaps this 'getting down' is a reference to a forced religion that Black's people have been told to follow in which Friday is a day of prayer and one must 'get down' and pray.

Cruisin’ so fast, I want time to fly
Fun, fun, think about fun
So, this phrase presents the listener with the impression that Rebecca Black has been taken against her will. The fact that the car they are in may be breaking the speed limit, Black is wanting 'time to fly' and is repeating to herself to 'think about fun' implies that events have taken a subtle turn for the worst. Black is trying to present the listener with the knowledge that wherever you are, whatever you are doing and whoever you are with, kidnapping and rape is always just around the corner. This is presenting a dark, untrustworthy society to the listener.

My friend is by my right
The one on the left may be her kidnapper, a nazi or french. You never know.

Towards the end of the song, we receive a run down of the days surrounding Friday. The purpose of this section of the song is to present to the listeners and to the media the predictability of society. The fact that murder, rape and war is the norm at this point in history is being deplored by Black at this point.

In conclusion, 'Friday' by Rebecca Black is a revolutionary song that has been underestimated amongst the media and has been publically shunned from release. However its messages against communism and the superficiality of society are to be remembered through generations.













Jks it's bs.

A Letter for Jessie

Dear Jessie
You do make me giggle with your eccentricities and strange if slightly racist comments in our English lessons. We have had some funny fun-times. Ahhhh. Thinking of them now makes me want to go outside and find some friends who have lives. However, I do believe that our Chemistry times make Chemistry teacher want to kill us and all our living relatives and loved ones... such fun.
So Jessie I feel mean for not including you in a post. I'm very sorry dear, i'm also very sorry for gettting so angry when you refer to yourself in the third person.

IT'S THE THIRD PERSON JESSIE. THE THIRD PERSON IS NOT TO BE USED BY YOURSELF.

So anyway. Some of my favourite funny times include, yes, the incident with Scary Short Welsh Head of Year 13. Ahhh, too funny. I have only run from one teacher in my time a Weald, and it will always be her. Just thinkin
g about her cold, soulless eyes, her crop of horn-hiding hair and her general lack of height makes me think of you and all our times with her :D .

I hope this post has sufficed Jessie B and to ensure this I have included a picture of which I have lived my life by, except for the fact that I don't like coffee. Substitute it with Monster.

Yahoo

I don't know if anyone really pays much attention to the 'Trending now' box on Yahoo home page. I do. When i'm bored / doing homework / revising / watching TV i like to go on Yahoo home page and made headlines out of this 'Trending now' section. Don't judge me, I have a small life. I will from now on be sharing these with you lovely people. Here is one for today.
The actual parts from Yahoo are in bold for your easy viewing.

Noel Fielding cures prostate cancer as Jessica Alba convinces Man U to play in Lingerie.

You try it. It's more fun that you think it is. Well it is for me anyway.

Cheese.

Pictures

I recently had an incredibly boring Life Skills lesson for which I was in a computer room. It was about jobs and careers... sickening. So anyway I wasn't going to sit and learn about the world of work with Life Skills teacher peering over my shoulder and telling me off for eating a lolly. It was a good lolly. Cola flavoured. Nom. So anyway - I was sitting on some website about jobs and other shizz when Microsoft paint called to me. I drew a picture and e mailed it to my good friend the Joslar. This, is that masterpiece.















Josie then responded with this masterpiece



















To which I replied















She then said


















I then wrapped up the conversation with this

















So that was my Life Skills lesson. One of the most insightful I think i have experienced.
By the way. I'm watching egg heads with my parents - as any cool person does. It makes me SOOOOO happy when they fail. Their smug little faces contort and their stupid minds wither under the embarrassment. Ah good times. :) There's one called Daphne who looks all cute and old and helpless and then as soon as they go into the questions she turns into this.

I LIKE PICTURES :D :D :D

V and Eda <-- again :/


V - Velcro. I like velcro, it generally makes life a lot easier, unless it's evil velcro. Everyone has experienced the good, helpful velcro. The kind of velcro that says 'hey, how are you, I value your time and I know you have to get your shoes on quickly, so just slap me around your feet and i'll make sure those bitches you call shoes stay on and give your feet the warmth they deserve'. However there is the evil velcro. This velcro lives to destroy you slowly. It waits in the dark until you finally succumb and decide that you must use the device it currently inhabits - shoes or a something else with velcro on. Then, when you are starting to trust this velcro, happy with it's initial loyalty - lulled into a false sense of security - it tries to kill you. It may latch on to hair - stick to your unsuspecting, innocent head and attack you from the face.

And that is why I don't trust velcro.

So, I was told to write about Eda. Again. So, I will update you in the Eda times. Not much has really happened. OH MY GOD I FORGOT. Eda now has braces. It's scary. As in when she wants to be scary, Eda can now be seriously scary. I'm kind of nervous now of what to write - cos seriously she could be the Terminator. Eda knows i'm joking - she knows I love her :P . But even so - Terminator.

A letter for Beccy

BECCY
Hi BECCY.
You are doing your drama at the moment so you cannot see this. It looks good – very deep. You can’t laugh at the funny bit though my dearest. It may fail. Anyway, this letter is just to say hi. Is this scene a kind of alcoholic meeting or something???? Ooooh. So ma love you seem to be in quite a pickle. If you have lost you pre release booklet then you will surely DIE. Barrett style. I’m bored. You may have guessed. Because of this lonely boredom, I will recall to you my adventures in the story of Dragon Quest 9 of which you just saw me playing. I HATE IT. But I’m addicted at the same time. Scary shizzle. Basically, I defeated the white knight – YES IT’S THE ACTION FIGURE. And now I’m stuck trying to kill some other monster.

You are sitting next to me now so I’m going to go.

Lots of lovesies
