2012 In A Nutshell

Since the world is supposedly ending on Friday, I thought it would be a good time to talk about everything that has happened this year in the media.

So this year we learned that if you are a celebrity your child needs to have a “creative”name.

Here are some of my favourites:

Blue (which by the way is Trademarked, sorry to let you down)

Wilhelmina

Kline

Marlowe (Yes mom and Dad, I’ve always wanted my name to sound like a type of wine)

Bastian

Halycon

(you can find a whole list here) http://www.babyzone.com/baby-names/celebrity-baby-names-2012_207207#gallery

 

Baby Blue is hidden somewhere in there among the sequins.

 

Next in 2012 we also learned that Tumblr and Twitter had a child called Instagram! How interesting!

Then we learned that a certain celebritiy *cough cough Taylor Swift* has a little bit of an obsession for The Kennedys.

In music news, if you take the sound of cats dying, rockets taking off and my singing voice, mix it together then name it Dubstep, teens will love you! Also if you are a rapper, you can take headphones and put your name on them, then sell them for 500 dollars!

Videos of a cat with a Poptart as a body and a rainbow tail can easily distract our generation for 5 minutes.

 

Sorry Nelly Furtado but apparently “the bigger the better” isn’t true anymore, Apple has released a new Ipad Mini that is 50$ more expensive than the Ipod Touch because it is a little bit bigger. (we are on to you Apple, we know what you are doing)!

Memes.

Gifs.

Forever Alone.

If you are a movie director this one’s for you, people love it if you take old movies that everyone’s forgotten about and put it back in theatres, but this time in 3D and then charge $15…

Selena and Justin broke up! But it’s too mainstream for me to care.

And let’s not forget to take a moment of silence for the beloved Twinkie, you had a good run buddy!

Should we be worried for 2013? I’m not sure how much more I can handle!

(Make sure to comment anything that I forgot to mention that you loved about 2012 or found completely insane)!
