Fave "modern" pages on Facebook

Yes, as a good modern, vanity and curiosity have gotten the best of me and forced me to search the word "modern" on Facebook....thus providing these amusing results:

-Vintage Modern Living
-Rocko's Modern Life (TV Show from my childhood I'd forgotten aaaaaaaall about)

-I am Modern Magazine (because 40 year old women in North Virginia are down with the Modernoids too)

-Dr. Seuss Quotes for Modern Day Life
-socialsklz :-) tools to thrive in the modern world [sic....to my horrorific amazement; "peer-enting" strikes again]
-Trendy Tots: A Modern Children's Consignment Store (gotta love the name)
-Retro, Modern and Vintage Interiors (interior decorating is a small wannabe guilty pleasure of mine)
-Vintage and Modern (vandm.com)
-Ancient Yoga for Modern Living (the most perfectly naïve bit of irony)
-Modern 50's Photage (no, seriously? WTF is photage?)
-Modern Vintage Boutique
-Modern Girl Style (basically, the same idea as this here blog, but, err, classier? cheers for a job well done!)

There's also a large list of musician's whose names include the word Modern and a wonderful phenomenon goin on in Spain, where the Modern Kids are picked on/ praised through plenty of fan pages

PS: yes, I AM aware that my use of Modern, Modernoid, Modernette, Mod and Modern Kids are all referring to phenomenons closer to what could /should be called hipsters but I love how the group of people with a tendency towards retro against the technological era they live in are called Modern in other parts of the world :D

The Mod Squad

All hail the might Urban Dictionary

And I quote:

"modsquad	7 thumbs up
	group of really cool people Whoa, the modsquad is super mod! Thank you kindly ^^

Damen und Herren, Mesdames et mesieurs, Ladies and Gentlemen...

"Welcome, messieurs! Sit yourself down, and meet the best innblog keeper in town!"

Welcome, welcome, welcome.

I will rest your minds letting you know that I am not original. I do not pretend to gain a cuantious number of followers on this webpage nor am I a bestranged 12 year old beginning a fashion blog (and then pretending that mixing patterns is something rational and thought out and not a complete lack of thinking in the mornings before I've eaten me Lucky Charms). I am starting a platform of expression, of inside jokes (which may entertain you but more than likely won't...unless we have been personally acqainted. As in, outside the cyberworld).

I want scandelous.
I want sharing.
I want wreckless and thought-provoking and unliked.
I want gossip and jealousy to downright pity.
I want colors and textures.
I want over-pretensious black-and-whites.
I want world travels and finds.
I want news flashes and faux-passes.
I want quotations from the best.
I want good lines and close-ups of cigarettes.
I want staged actors with well-written words.
I want a MODERN world.
Modernus Vivendi.
