Once again I return from my hibernation
to talk about something that has been pissing me off for a while &
I gotta drop in my two cents here. If you've never read any of my
other rants I wrote on my blog before then you're in for a fucking
treat. Not just any treat or a sweet treat, but a fucking treat!
So
everyone by now knows there was that video clip of the guy who played
Steve on 'Blues Clues' & like everyone who spoke out we all grew
up with the show at an early age. The show was targeted to a very
specific demographic, that being toddlers. That's every show in 'Nick
Jr', they are for toddlers, they teach kids their ABC's & how to
wash their hands. Sad that even in our adult age there's people out
there who haven't learned both of those two. So anyway, the guy who
played Steve (Steve Burns) had a lengthy run as the show's main host
for seven years. Could you believe that? Seven years & after that
the actor decided to call it quits. To announce his departure he
decided to give a farewell in his show to the adults who stuck around
to watch the show with their kids. So yeah, it was real emotional &
at least the audience got closure from Steve. By that point in 2002 I
had stopped watching the show because, guess what? I grew up, just
like everyone else in the fucking world! It happens, the stuff we
liked as younger children gets a little tiresome & we go out
looking for other entertainment like Marbles or looking for discarded
porn in the forest! Unless you're a parent or are babysitting, nobody
decides to watch 'Sesame Street' as an adult.
So the years pass,
the show was still running but under new hosts & a couple of them
later decided to call it quits as well. Two decades pass, we who grew
up with Steve are now older & now Steve appears again for a
message to all of us. I won't say I got emotional, but I will say I
felt even more like shit because here's Steve telling me some
positive affirmations & here I am still dealing with my own
personal shit. Whatever, despite my cynical outlook I won't deny this
surprise was very welcoming & hopefully it got someone through
the day.
Here's where I gotta unleash some rage on these
motherfuckers online. You got these fucking clowns online (Mainly
Facebook) who felt Steve 'ghosted' them. Either some of you have not
seen the clip from Steve's final appearance or some of you are
fucking man-children who can't accept change. All of you whiners want
to continue living life shitting in your pants & drinking from
sippy cups. It's more than just saying “Steve ghosted us”, it's
the fact that these people feel betrayed because the actor decided to
change course in his life.
“How dare you change your life
plans!”
To all of you fucking man-children, grow the fuck up
you WWE RAW Eugene looking ass. Google him. Let's say he chose not to
give a farewell, the actor has no reason (Unless he wanted to) to
tell you the rundown of his own private life. His only right is to
live his life the way he wants to & privacy. By the point a few
of us were old enough we weren't aware of his exit. Many of you
didn't really care about who was who, you just wanted to see the
colors & the blue dog & the salt and pepper shakers. By this
point many of us were watching from the sidelines & feeling a
sort of comfort knowing kids now are still watching a show you saw as
a young child. I learned this with 'Arthur' and I learned this with
'Sesame Street'. If 'Blues Clues' were cancelled now I think it would
be sad but at the end of the day it's all part of growing up, change.
The only time children were aware of a cast change would be when
Mr.Hooper from Sesame Street passed away. The actor died & rather
than sweep it under the rug the show decided to talk to kids about
mourning. Then after that a new guy took over the grocery store (I
think it was an Asian man, correct me.) & they addressed the new
actor as part of that story arc in-between ABC's & learning
colors.
At the end of the day I am just mad at people villainizing
Steve for being human, even if it's all just a meme. After a while
being the host of a TV show becomes a job & after being
introspective you start to wonder do you want to continue doing what
you're doing? It gets scarier envisioning yourself in a job at age 60
as if to say there's no end in sight. It's clear Steve wanted to live
those plans than to be +60 & still continue playing Steve. Hey,
some people are willing to commit like Fred Rogers who continued
being Mr.Rogers until the day he passed away. That's dedication &
I'm not going to shit on Steve Burns for quitting while the show was
hot. I say it takes more guts to quit a job because a few minutes
unemployed you start to wonder whether you made the best choice or a
horrible mistake. He went back to school, apparently that's a crime
to some of you hood rats.
Then there's people who attributed this
'ghosting' (rolls eyes) to their own abandonment issues. How in fuck
was Steve making a life choice abandonment? Also, half of you
crybabies have never been abandoned in your personal life. Without
getting deep into detail I was abandoned before & yes it did
fucking hurt. Having someone leave you without a trace, without
explanation & without a way of knowing whether they're alive or
dead is fucking horrible. That's real abandonment, then years later
they come to you as if nothing happened, it felt like they were
laughing in your face for leaving you without a goodbye. Guess what?
After a while when the pain dies down or they give an explanation
(Which you then debate whether it's true or a lie) as to what really
happened. After a while you learn that's that's the only resolution
you're going to get & it's better than nothing. With Steve that
was in no way shape or form abandonment.
Grow the fuck up.
Before I end
this I want to talk about something minor that I saw during this
shitstorm. People who specifically said “Steve wasn't talking to
all of you born after 1997.”
Since when did we start having
self-appointed generation ambassadors operating from social media?
Unless you're a Timothy Leary or a George Carlin, you ain't shit! The
only generation ambassadors all us 90's, early 2000's kids have are
either fictional or entertainment personalities who haven't gone
crazy. Whatever, you got these ignorant fucks who think Steve was
speaking to our generation & not the younger kids. Um....there
was such a thing as reruns. Mind you, even in my generation Mr.Rogers
was airing reruns (Here in LA) up until 2005 when it got yanked. Now
with VOD it's easy to have access to TV shows from the very first
episode, assuming they don't run into the same issue as 'Doctor Who'
where the BBC ignorantly erased most of the early episodes due to
recycling videotape. So get off your fucking high horse & quit
speaking for all of us.
One of the most beautiful things I ever
saw on my feed was a young girl (No older than 5) playing a Sonic
game on her dad's X-Box 360 & she was having a complete blast.
Then I said in the comments section “Don't let the REACT videos
tell you kids aren't willing to play or watch stuff from before they
were born. Kids are just glad to have something they can interact
with.” So many people agreed & just talked about how they were
raised off of stuff from before they were cognizant. I'm amazed
there's children out there now that are still watching 'Tom &
Jerry' cartoons & that's before any of us were born.
So knock
it off with the generational warfare bullshit. It's pointless as fuck
& that's what the elite want out of us. They want us to in-fight
over useless shit like birth dates so they can let real fucked up
decisions slide over everyone's heads. I also apply this to food
warfare. Who cares if people like pineapple on pizza. They're eating
it, not you!
As an update I have just set up a new
email for everything I do on 'BlackTime E-Press'. The big reason for
the switch from AOL to 'Outlook' is I got sick of the spam. Also I
felt like the last address was a bit tricky to remember.
So
here's one that's a bit easier to understand. Email me with
questions, comments, inquiries. I'll answer them!
