About 11 of you voted on the poll I had not too long ago. Thanks for the feedback. :)
As for what it was you voted on...
The Design-- I've actually just changed that recently. If it's the color scheme you're not content with or something else entirely, just comment below and I'll try to please the eye because 3 of you voted on that.
The Captions-- Only one of you voted on this. If you don't like my captions, comment below on what it is exactly you don't like about them because I can't bend to invisible guidelines.
The Captions' Design-- I'm sorry about the captions' design to the one person that voted on this, but there's nothing I can do about it beyond add a few bells and whistles. I have MSPaint and money is scarce to buy something better. And I remember downloading GIMP but that's since been deleted. If and when I remember to download it again, I'll practice making captions on that and post adequate results.
Bitch Bitch Bitch- Two don't seem to like this segment of the blog. I don't mean to be rude....but that's too bad. I'm not taking it down. Sorry.
Caption Frequency-- Again, I'm sorry. Nothing I can do about that. I need to be motivated to do captions, alongside have an idea of what I want to make and make sure no one's hawking over me while I make them. I would have made a lot more than five captions the other day if not for this fact.
So there you have it. If there's any additional changes you think I should make, don't hesitate to comment below.
EDIT EDIT: One of you also voted on the other option I had:
Everything-- Here's a question...if you hate EVERYTHING about the site, why the fuck are you here?

Exclusives?!
Initially, the "No Pussy Tonight, Either" was going to be the only exclusive caption in my cavalcade of them today but because I can't upload any of them on Rachel's Haven without going through the ol' pain-in-the-ass procedure of renaming or recreating a file, they all became exclusive. Sorry.
How's Your Sex Life?
I didn't think I'd name a caption after something said in The Room (2003 movie starring Tommy Wiseau), but here it is.

sp2000?
Does anyone, be it a Google representative, a Blogger representative, or someone who knows anything for that matter, want to tell me why sp2000's site was taken down without any kind of warning whatsoever?

No More Fighting
I'm getting sick of fighting for SOPA to be removed. Every time it seems someone stands up against it, they make another bill with the same intention under a different name. I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing and make captions periodically. And should my site get shut down because the yuppies got their way, they should expect yet another person to join Anonymous. Alongside several other people because I'm getting sick of it. So fucking sick of it.
So expect either a Bitch Bitch Bitch or a caption soon.

Round 2
Seeing how these yuppies don't know how to quit....
1/18 is the day Wikipedia and a handful of other sites will 'blackout' for 24 hours in protest of both SOPA and PIPA. Once again, if you don't know what SOPA is or PIPA for that matter, educate yourself by clicking on the links and, if neither bill sits well with you, HALP.

Bitch Bitch Bitch: Skrillex
I fucking hate dubstep.
No, seriously. I fucking hate dubstep. It's if trash compactors were given a drum track. The only plus side to 'scene' music-- which I'm guessing is either this or whatever you call BrokeNCYDE's abominations-- is the female fans it brings about.
No matter how many hot girls with the 'scene' look you can pull out of the dubstep fan following, it doesn't justify what the music (guh, I feel dirty describing it like that) is to me. So naturally, I would have a natural hatred for Skrillex, one of its pioneers.
Skrillex, for those of you who are unfamiliar with the 'band' or the 'solo project' or whatever the fuck it's supposed to be, is the stage name for Sonny Moore, former lead of rock band From First to Last (a band I've never really heard of nor heard before). He left that band in 2007 because of an unfortunate brain hemorrhage suffered on-stage that made him think 'say, I don't wanna make music anymore, I just want to get paid for fiddling with Audacity', said by doctors to be fatal within an unfortunately short 6 years.
No, none of that is true, but it sure as hell makes sense. The truth, however, is out there. Look it up.
There's something vaguely pretentious about Sonny and his music. I say vaguely because I don't know whether he deems his work 'art'-- if he does, fuck vaguely, the guy is totally pretentious. I say pretentious because I was skeptical of the first album My Name Is Skrillex released in June 7, 2010, skeptical of whether or not this was just a phase and he would go back to doing whatever it is that kept him off my radar. Of the songs on that album, well...."Weekends" starts off with this cut-up beat with someone shouting 'Pancake'. Besides 'It reminds me of Cabin Fever.', that's all I need to say about that one. "Fucking Die 1"......#1.) This is hardly the soundtrack to angry feelings and #2.) the song itself sounds like the outtakes of the music soundtrack to some NES game. It does not flow together the way it should, but rather keeps a bittersweet feeling in the pit of my already-aching belly. (When this happens, I throw up soon afterwards.) There's also a remix to this-- "Fucking Die 2", right after that song. If this song doesn't live up to the stereotype of dubstep to you, well...perhaps we should both redefine what the stereotype of dubstep is.
A.) Does this song have a beat that goes 'bwa-bwa-bwa-bwa-bwa'? You bet your ass it does!
B.) Does this song have a random sample that has nothing to do with the title of the song nor anything else within the song itself? What would a Skrillex song be without THAT? Of course it does!
C.) Is this song devoid of any melody? Why would it have a melody to begin with? Yes, yes it is!
D.) Is the song completely difficult to listen to in its entirety? That goes without saying :p
There are two other songs on the album, "My Name is Skrillex" and "Do Da Oliphant" but because I'm stretching far from the point I originally wanted to make I'm not going to get into either (especially when I don't know what Do Da Oliphant is supposed to mean). Now, I say Skrillex is pretentious because the first time churning out a turd could be deemed 'excusable' if you never do it again and maybe it'll be nostalgic after you're dead. Calling this 'shit my fans wanna hear' is cool and all....until the second album comes out.
And lo, it did, 4 months later (on an online streaming thingy). So now you know not only did it NOT take any effort whatsoever, the guy is deluding himself into thinking he's making music. And that's why I call him vaguely pretentious. The second album, Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites, is just as difficult to listen to as the first one was. The title track begins nicely enough...until that random sample of that cup-stacking 'Oh My Gosh' girl. And then it breaks into traditional dubstep.
UGHHHHHHHHHHH. And just when I thought we were gonna get good electronic music.
I'm not going to get into the rest of the album. I'm just going to say that this somehow brought people into liking this kind of stuff. No, it's not redeemable. It's different, however, which is the only justifiable reason why anyone would follow Skrillex in a world of arrogant and narcissistic rappers and YouTube kids getting music careers handed to them. Keep in mind this is a theory, though-- why it actually is popular eludes me because I'm on one side of the glass and the glass goes full circle...if that metaphor made sense to you at all.
It's because of any reason that this warranted a sequel, More Monsters and Sprites, released a year after his first album. This is the album where Skrillex's most likely well-known song "First of the Year (Equinox)" originates (the video appeared in a Beavis and Butthead episode). The video is great. The song....not so much. It starts off nicely and all, and then-- once again-- the sample from yet another YouTube video (This one, to be specific) creeps its way in and then it goes into traditional dubstep mode.
GAHHHHHHHHH!!!! STOP TRICKING ME INTO THINKING YOU HAVE A GOOD SONG, YA DOUCHE!!!
Anyway, I'm quite done in making my point. The next album is called Bangarang and will be physically available 19 days from the day this was posted (or, if you're reading this on the 24th of January, now). I expect that to be just as shitty as the last three were, based solely on the title alone. Whether my post persuaded you into buying a Skrillex album or throwing it out or not doing anything about it at all is irrelevant-- that's just what I think.
And so concludes another Bitch Bitch Bitch. My caption-to-bitch bitch bitch ratio is still unbalanced, I know.
