Amazing: Not so amazing anymore
Everything’s amazing now and frankly I’m just tired of it. Even worse, thanks to reality TV, many things are “an amazing journey.” “Those shoes are amazing.” “This wine is amazing” “Our date was amazing” “it’s been a really amazing journey, this walk to Safeway for lunch.” ENOUGH!!
Could somebody PLEASE make another word in vogue? I mean, amazing is the fact that people are building houses in midtown Manhattan to ship down to Katrina victims in New Orleans. Amazing is when somebody delivers a kidney in a cooler so somebody else can live. Amazing is not when J.D Fortune wins INXS Rock Star (though I must say, I did think J.D. delivered the best performance in absolutely dreamy and sexual-chocolate-esque fashion). And an amazing journey might be a safari, where wild zebras charged your Land Rover and you sped away with a little zebra spit in your hair. Probably not so much when The Bachelor Bob Geddy offers you a rose to stay another week. (OK, maybe that hot guy Charlie who was Trista’s runner-up, but not Bob.)
New word. Please.

let's see we've already run through fabulous, brilliant and genius (which was a noun and we actually made into an adjective). so i propose "gorgeous". I'll use it in a sentence.
The Peace Corp is such a gorgeous experience. THis pizza tastes gorgeous. Man, how gorgeous was that concert last night?
You know, I heard "gorgeous" used about 4 years ago by a gay boyfriend of mine and I really liked it but it never quite caught on. I love it. Gorgeous is gorgeous. Thanks, Crazy V. You're a genius. (shit, i can't get away from these words)
Whatcha think, J Trevey? This is your pet peeve, right? Amazing?
Came over from Crazy Virgo. Welcome to the blogging world!
As for "amazing"? Definitely overused. How about radical, sublime or plum? Just kidding. I lived in California for a few years. Old habits die hard.
Holy shit! Metrodad is on my blog! You're a celeb over here on Bacon Grease...I love your work. It's gorgeous. Or rad as we say in California (I'll never abandon my SF residency).
Thanks for the drop-in!
'bout time the world got a taste (an eyeful...earful?) of rbro! love it so far. I can just hear you saying all this stuff. Adjectives...hmmn. good times, good times. I personally still love "rad!" (making up for a childhood not in Cali)...gorgeous is sweet! haha. Can we add sweet and phat to the list of banned words.
One of my favorite oldies that I've heard my mother use is "bitch." No, not to describe one of the 20% of witchy, very un-gorgeous women out there, but instead to describe the last time she saw Michael McDonald in concert (or was it the Moody Blues?) in the late '90's..."he appeared in the darkness singing as all of these lights came on...his concert was so bitch!" One time she described some really cool outfit she had in the late '70's..."I had this new teal green silk spaghetti dress that was so bitch".
It always sounded so cool when she said it. (She's really amazing!) I just don't know if I can pull it off... "gawd, that thai food was so bitch." "What a bitch jacket!" ??? hmn.
The amazing adjectives quest leaves me stumped. Gorgeous is damn good. It's a word that looks gorgeous written.
As far as a "dork" or "dummy/bimbo/idiot" replacements, I have a suggestion. It comes up frequently in the conversations I have with myself: moe. As in short for moron. "sally, don't be such a moe!"
wow. I really didn't know what a blog was. I was a blogging virgin but I can see myself being a dirty blogging slut. luvf it. (am I doing it right? does this feel good? is this all it is?...)
Hi yours truly,
yes, my sweet little blogging flower, sadly this is all it is. i'm still kind of a blogging moe myself but I could probably get my hands on some blogging viagra to make your experience better, or at least make it last longer. How bitch would that be?
Just stick with it, this blogging. They say it gets better after the first few times.
Hi all!
Very nice site.
