Dante’s Opinion (Rant): Apples or Oranges?

Oh, okay. This is one of the easiest questions.

Apples vs Oranges?!?!?!?

What kind of ques-……..

Apples. Ap. Ples. APPLES.

Apples are the better fruit and are the absolute best fruit of all time don’t even bother trying to tell me otherwise. I am allergic to apples to the point I get itchy and have trouble breathing and I AM STANDING ON APPLES FOREVER. Pie. Juice. Sauce. They smell good. A raw apple is so perfect. Crunchy but won’t break your teeth. Just enough flavor bursting in your mouth.

I get it, man. I understand why the apple became the fruit Adam and Eve ate EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO MENTION OF SPECIFIC FRUIT. An apple can get you into trouble, babe. I rarely get sick so I guess I’ve had enough apples to keep all of the doctors away. I am telling you, bro, apples are the sh-t. Don’t @ me otherwise.

I really hope my mansion that Jesus is preparing is full of apples, kid. Like, on the real.

Oranges suck. I hate the smell. The acid leaves a bad taste in my mouth. They require so much work peeling away the nonsense. Too much juice makes a mess out of things. You could actually drown from an orange, alright? An orange. Why I hate watermelons too. Don’t get me started!

You know what? If a couple of situations are indeed “apples and oranges”, I’m going with the apples scenario. F all that. An apple beats an orange every time. Every time. I bet Jesus felt the same way, homie. On the real.

I’ll be real, I don’t like Apple products. I’m Microsoft. I bet apples don’t like em either. But guess what? If you’re gonna name your mega company after a fruit, ya darn well better pick the best, right? Right. An iPhone from Orange? Right.

Yo, I gotta get outta here. Talk to you later and long live APPLES.

Dante’s Opinion: Do You Think Amber Rose is Hot?

I don’t run into these questions often.

Do you think amber rose is hot?

I didn’t know who that was or what it looked like, so I did a quick search and found the most attractive version of this person I could find.

amber-rose

I’m sorry…no. Unless you mean “hot mess”. She has really big boobs though. Like, they look like something from anime or something, man. Like, those things remind me or airbags. She can survive in the car accident. Those things are the first thing you see and then a few seconds later, she comes in through the door. They are big and are a turnoff for me.

I’m a bad person.

Dante’s Opinion: Why Do Movies Portray Criminals As Good People?

Deep question today.

Why do movies portray criminals as good people? In every movie that they have a bank robbery, they make you sympathize with the bank robbers and WANT them to get away with the crime… Like the movie Set it Off, or other bank robbery movies.. They want you to to sympathize with the person commiting the crime… Just like the movie Suicide Squad.. They want you to root for the bad guy… Even in movies about serial killers, they try to make them look innocent and it was society that made them that way like in the movie “Monster”, they made Aileen Wuoronos seem like she only killed because she got raped and almost killed by a John, so that’s why she started killing… It’s like they want you to empathize and sympathize with the criminal… In real life aren’t we supposed to do anything we can to keep criminals behind bars? Why glamorize them on the movies?

Let’s go ahead and break this down.

Those bank robbery movies usually paint the character as a good person because they are. Good people can do bad things, but they are not bad people…generally. It’s like how God loves the sinner; but hates the sin. In this case, most of the time, you see these characters are on their last leg and are desperate. Tying in that emotional component does allow the viewer to relate because, deep down, if we were really desperate or in that character’s position, we’d at least consider doing what they do.

Suicide Squad (which was a meh movie) did a decent job of allowing you to sort of relate to the characters…these bad guys. But, without spoiling, they weren’t really…they had different circumstances so that movie isn’t a very good argument for your case. It’s sort of there; but not quite just because of their role in the movie in the end.

Monster (I haven’t seen it), they painted a woman seeking justice (according to what you’re saying because, again, I haven’t seen the movie). Like my first point, we have a good person doing bad things but it’s like “can’t blame her” or “I ain’t even mad”. We don’t encourage it, but we understand it.

Ultimately, these scenarios and stories happen in real life, which is why it’s not Hollywood’s fault. I will agree that we really shouldn’t be glamorizing criminal activity. However, like the end of Set It Off, if the ending is realistic to the character’s actions, I’m okay with it. If you meet justice for your crimes, I don’t really care how things play out. Judgement comes for all of us at some point.

I’ll stop here since I’m touching on something else.

Dante’s Opinion: Working From Home: Yay or Nay?

Very simple question:

Working From Home: Yay or Nay?

Yay, yay, yay, yay, yay. It’s funny; my projected career path would allow me to work from home easily. Writing for a website or newspaper or whatever means I can sit with my laptop and type away. We can schedule a Skype call for meetings.

Obviously, not every industry can be made to work from home and, in other cases, being in a certain setting is better for productivity.

The only real downside of being able to work from home is if you’re easily distracted. I’ve seen comment son how it’s not good for self motivation and procrastination problems but that’s if you’re the owner of a business AND work from home. But, if you’re an employee, due dates aren’t a problem. You better get your job done; and location of work doesn’t matter.

I already have proved I can work on my own without compensation and this blog is a testament to that. So, in either scenario, I don’t worry about working from home. So, yay!

Dante’s Opinion: What Can I Do When I’m Bored?

Ah, the question that gets to us. Some of us hate it. Others don’t get to experience it.

What can do when I’m bored? I’m 11 years old and have like 20-30mins to spare. This hasn’t happened in a while. What should I do?

This looks like an opportunity for a list! For 20-30 minutes, there’s not a lot of time to complete much stuff. And, in your case of “this hasn’t happened in a while” this means you probably would like something to do that doesn’t require a lot of time. Lastly, I’m considering your age. Just a little baby!

  • Netflix
  • Never too old for a nap
