Top 10 Internnet Memes of the Decade
Time for a break from the seriousness here - at least I think so. This is an article I wrote listing the top 10 Internet fads and memes of the past decade:

1. That isn't right where is the Squirrelizer?

Just goes to show how mixed up people can be.

Side note
The numa numa guy rocks, he got skills for sure, wonder what the song says?



Can you see the Squieralizer reference in this song.


Vanessa Carlton - White Houses

Side note, not about sex, about vamps, and out of sequence, but interesting.

2. Numa Numa in English
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwcgPJlMWrE

They sing it in English and it's a bit off.

Also if you read the article it says it's my personal list of favorite memes - I never really liked the Squirrelizer.

3. Maybe you see it differently.

It is really out of sequence post, but best to do that to keep the randomness, and to not follow any scripts.

And there is a squirrelizer reference in there.


On a personal analysis, there is a form of affinity in my thoughts on 'vamp' topic, although probably my interpretation of that meaning. But I know there is an affinity there from the use of a nick name for vampire, a familiarity if you will, I find that interesting.


"Pray it never fades"


"Old soldiers fade away".


So there is a comment in there, and nothing wrong with dancing, nor is it wrong if with love, as stated many times by many people.


Also the exact same thing as 'matter of trust song' 'hold on to her secrets' That is a common thing I have found in many of the songs and stories. However nobody of authority has told me to be silent on the topics, although I am very selective of what I post also.

7. Long topic, is about a series of posts.
Edited on Sat Dec-25-10 04:42 AM by RandomThoughts
Thanks Lee might explain it.

Depends on the context, that matches many contexts.

But basically there is a quote.

Old soldiers don't die, they fade away, that can be seen to match some doctrines on 'spirits' existing, or ideas of supernatural. Not saying that is what I believe but it is an interesting concept.

She also speaks about a similar item in the song, if you remove the filter of it being about sex.

Then there is a brief image of the 'picture coming alive' by here dancing in front of it. That is also in many stories, even matches what some Native American chiefs thought about photographs, they probably could see. Although I don't believe it is the photo that is the cause or effect. Other indicators, the going from prone to standing in the dance, a few other things.

Although there is also a deeper meaning in there also. Long story, but some stay some go, but they are still working on the love chain in my view, maybe that is it.


Basically it is all contextual to the sequence. That song post was surprising, but still was kind, and kind is good in my beliefs. Although a bit different also.



Hard to explain, even says that in the song, here is an example.

I have had problems with pet doctrine, bad side tries to say people are owned like pets, it pushes some buttons and bothers me, knocking me off focus. that is not a problem any more, since while thinking on that, the Peter Gabriel song explains it as 'working my pride flaw' and how that was blocking me. That being said did not bother him in that video even had pet on a heart to show that. So that helped me with an issue that has been used to block when in some areas. Does that make sense? And that was while trying to do something so was help needed, at the same time the 'in your eyes' allowed for better thought while on a topic of thought. So in 2 seconds of the video, the part I needed to see, I saw in the context I needed at that moment. So even though I always knew pet doctrine was wrong, with that tip, I no longer 'feel' it is real, so it can't block me again.
