Failure: It's like winning, except it's not!

That handsome whale is a friendly little reminder that what you wanted to happen, didn't happen. The iconic "Fail Whale" pops up whenever Twitters servers are about to explode because a million people are talking about how angry they are after watching this weeks "#TrueBlood" episode or something along those lines. But Failure in the real world isn't so cute. 


I am getting pretty Tired of people using monosyllabic responses for everything on the internet and beyond, more specifically: "fail" and "Win". Every now and then it's spiced up with the word "Epic" before it, which is just as unoriginal. Just like almost everything that can be argued over, "Failure" is subjective. I know, you're probably thinking " ugh, Shut up Juan, It's not subjective, you either win or you loose, Douche bag" To that all I have to say is: well, why did you call me a Douche bag? that's not very nice. That's all I'm going to say to you Mr. or Mrs. Disembodied thoughts in italics, because you're wrong. 


You see what I just said? I said you're wrong, because that's how I feel, so once again your failure was subjected to my ideals. You probably do the same, and continue to do so as after you read a couple of lines of this, and other opinionated readings and such. let's take some of the most recent "Failures" and see where someone could have seen it as a "Win". Oh boy,  I smell a List, Kids! 

• Kanye West's VMA Faux-pas: sure, he lost a lot of fans, and respect, and the Leader of the free world called him a jack-ass. FAIL. But Taylor Swift has never looked more innocent. WIN.
• Dylan Phifer: a 12 year old boy recently broke the World record for most points ever on Guitar Hero, with a Finger-busting-Carpal-Tunnel-syndrome-inducing 1,019,000 Points, I'm not sure if his parents think it's cool, because they'd probably prefer a "Most hours ever on Math Homework" Record to have been broken. And it must look like he never goes out. FAIL. however, He has got a Kick-ass story to tell his buddies. here's the video WIN.
• This Chick: Granted, she may not be happy with the time she got on camera, or how thousands (including myself) have commented on this video with massive amounts of LOL's. FAIL But, she knows deep inside, that at that moment, John Mayer's song: "Vultures" had never been so exciting. WIN.
• My Blog: sure I'm probably the only one who will read this, for a long time, and it looks really, Really boring and poorly put together (being that I don't speak Hyper Text Markup Language) FAIL. But, I'm doing this because I want to, not because I have to. i.e: so what if only I read it, There are Tons of Blogs that go by as nothing but a Drop in the Blogosphere bucket, this one just happens to be my favorite :D EPIC WIN

To wrap things up here, all I'm saying is that as an internet-based culture, we really ought to stop being so judgmental... sure it doesn't seem like much now, but the future repercussions could lead to an even more Terrible world, and we could definitely use a little cheering up every now and then. I have hope though, I'm an optimist by nature. After all, if taken literally in english: my Last Name is a Re-affirmation of agreement. (Re-Yes) WIN.


Thank you for time,
