Coining by Shad (Coined?)

I have thusly created a new word thingamaboober In response to that annoying advertisement of Susan Express in WoW








I said "Prices have drooped dramastically!"

Which bought me a few lols/lulz

Thusly, I have coined a new term of concantintonations:

Dramastically

If you make a new guild, it can have dramastic in it.
We can have pkp and rung arguementz and split it in half later.

Joaquin Phoenix: The Truth?

Joaquin Phoenix: the truth - well, according to what I've seen...

Anyone who is 'plugged into' the media in any way, by TV or by Interweb, will have heard about this great actor's beard and mumbling by now. Yet, noone seems to know why this has all come about.

Whenever anyone encounters things they don't understand, especially negative things, or things that may even be directed at them, they call it 'fake' in reaction - and there is no difference here.

Not knowing that the joke is on them, the media is calling it all 'a hoax' and making fun of this actor.




So what is going on then?
I'll tell you what I think, and it seems to be a very rare viewpoint indeed.

About a half a year ago, I was flipping channels on the television, and just happened to catch a show that appeared to be a 'travel' type of documentary/show with an African fellow as the host, and the backdrop was still in the city... I didn't catch the beginning, but it appears that the host and crew of the show 'bumped into' Joaquin at the airport and after telling him about their show, he joined them for the trip. Dang, I really wish I would remember the name of the travel/documentary...

Regardless, in the show, they went to a very remote village (south america?) that was only reachable by river. The culture shock was astounding, as in the isolated village, the life was the 'historically stereotypical' hut-and-skirt type - and it started with a huge welcome to the show's host and Joaquin, as the entire village came to welcome them and celebrate their arrival.


With my ADD, I didn't watch the whole thing, but flicking back and forth once in a while, I saw snippets of stick-banging rituals and a spot where the villagers seemed to blow tobacco/peyote up each other's noses (including Joaquin) and much more.

The culture, the lack of materialism, the togetherness of the village, the happiness... it all seemed to affect Joaquin particularly deeply (the crew even caught a moment of emotion from him..).
By the end of the show, they were going to return and were travelling down the river. At the last moment, Joaquin announced that he was 'going to stay' and the host informed him that there would be no way out for some time if he did. The end shot I watched of the travel/documentary show was Joaquin driving himself back up the river in the boat...

So, the truth (to me) is that this talented, intelligent person has found himself, found something, and realized the emptiness of the materialism and fame of the entertainment world. It is all a joke to him - and the Rap Career? It's just a final joke upon the media, as Rap is seen as the epitome of materialism, fame-chasing, useless entertainment. I have arrived at this 'truth' about Joaquin Phoenix on my own, and I don't know Mr.Phoenix - but if I did not happen to catch that travel/documentary show that fateful day, I too may think it's all just a stunt - but as it stands, I did, and I don't.
