Is there anything worse then the “Local Celebrity?” It’s especially irritating here in Hawaii because it’s a small place in the middle of the ocean. It’s pretty much it’s own world. It is the most isolated populated land mass in the world after all. Anyway the local celeb anywhere sucks. Newscasters, some shitty musician or out here the local surfing heros. Whatever. Nobody cares, take your act anywhere else and nobody gives a shit about you. But these people roll around town like they own it. Unless you live in a city like NY, LA, Chicago, Atlanta, San Fran….you know…real cities…nobody cares about you. The worst was back home, the Syracuse celeb. Which was like Pearl Washington, Benny Mardones and some giant black chick that does the news. Awful. Here you have the people that have never left this island so their views are way off. Unless your name is Jack Johnson nobody on the mainland cares about you. So stick around around here because that retarded looking monster truck you drive to show your local status isn’t going to mean a thing in Seattle….brah. Even worse are the dumb whores that go for the local celeb. I mean I can understand a girl going after a nationally or world wide known celeb but the local celeb? How pathetic are you? I am sure your sunglasses are gigantic.
Oh and one last thing…I like the show Entourage as much as anyone. But if I see one more reference anywhere on Myspace or on a t shirt to you and you lame crew of boys, who have not touched a piece of ass in 3 years, being a Entourage I am going to slap your face. You not a Entourage…you never will be. So cut the shit. Let me tell you something. The dudes that talk the most about all the “ass” they get and all the girls they hang out with, and they are being serious, are the ones who get it the least. Get away from me. I see these same people pressing up on chicks everywhere I go and they never seem to leave with any. Just go out with your friends….freak out…and see what happens. Stop trying so hard. Chances are that chick you were all over tonight thinks you’re completely leather.
Personally, I think there can be no better thing than to be a local celebrity. I mean, everyone where you normally go knows you, so you get the benefits of that, such as quick restaurant seating, free stuff, cops not writing tickets, etc. Plus, you’re not so huge that everyone goes completely nuts over you, so you wouldn’t get totally overrun by mobbers. Not only that, but when you do leave your town, such as on vacation, you can enjoy it because nobody else has ever heard of you, so you can escape the fame that is present in your local hometown.
I’m totally all for being a local celebrity. It’s definitely the best of both worlds. And if chicks are goona touch your ding-ding just because you give a shitty sportscast on the local news or play the latest Jack Johnson cover in the same bar every Thursday, more power to you. Milk it for all it’s worth… I would too.
No Way.. I totally agree with Mark. Perfect example for the people that live in Syracuse is the band One Hard Krank.. but every town has their own “One Hard Krank” I am sure.. just performing under a different name.
One Hard Krank is a band made up of 4 guys all over the age of 40 that cover all the modern rock songs that are played over and over and over again on Krock. As if we arent sick enough of hearing the same hourly rotation of songs on the radio.. if you want to hear them again covered by a shitty band, One Hard Krank is the band you want to see. Syracuse LOVES these tools.. They have a HUGE amount of people that follow them around weekend after weekend to hear them perform the same thing they did the week before and it baffles me.. I have heard people say “My favorite band is playing tonight.. One Hard Krank” THEY ARE A COVER BAND.. and they DONT COVER THE SONGS WELL… how the hell can they be your favorite band you LOSER!?!? In my opinion the “fans” of the local celebrities are just as pathetic as the “celebrities” themselves.
The singer of this band (Man, I wish I could find a picture that would explain exactly what I am about to describe) is the BEST example of the word douchebag that I have ever seen. For example.. (keep in mind he is like 43 years old) He has tattoos, wears a bandana, and sweat bands on his forearms, belt with spikes to appeal to the “rocker crowd” but at the SAME TIME wears a flat brimmed baseball cap (with the hologram sticker still in place) a belt buckle that says the word “DADDY” w pants sagged, Bandana tied around his calf.. Timberland boots, and usually sunglasses (even though its night time, and he’s INSIDE) to appeal to the “Thug Crowd” and at the SAME TIME.. a Hollister T-Shirt.. and eye make up. ARE YOU KIDDING ME TOOL?.. DIE!! If anyone saw him walking the street they would laugh.. but since he is the singer for One Hard Krank.. girls are trying to fuck.. UGH!
Giant black chick = Marneen Carter??
what the F?….my sunglasses are semi-gigantic :/
Nah, I don’t see the what’s wrong with being a local celebrity. I think what’s important is that people, one way or another, connect with you and that’s the reason you attain that “celebrity” status. Whether you are in some ass island or sh*tty little city like Mira Loma, people love those who seem to make some noise, some impact, represent something local. As for Jack Johnson, he was some local nobody back in the day and now is an international somebody, though I admit I cannot name one song of his…
If you don’t like One Hard Krank, you sure do know a lot about what Jake is wearing…
quite personally, if i hated a band as much as you claim, “lightsoutlauren”.. i don’t think i’d waste my time going to a site about THEM muchless would i be going out to see them and paying enough attention to the lead singer’s clothes to be able to name the BRANDS even. nor would i waste at the very least 10 mintues of my time writing an essay on how much i despise them.
do us a favor.. next time you waste your time and money going out to see a band you claim to hate, take the opportunity to get up on stage and turn toward the crowd.. then tell me you wouldn’t need a pair of sunglasses after three hours of performing (even for the DOUCHE-BAGS like YOU) under those lights.
it comes down to one of two conclusions. either; a) you are a chick who has already f**ked him and he never called you back. or, b) you’re a dude who’s jealous because jake’s gotten more in the past week than you have since your first time.
p.s. all those drinks you’ve bought and cover charges you’ve paid to see this band you HATE, is helping to buy all of those clothes, eye liners and accessories you hate so much. fail, LOSER.
