10:51 pm - Bwhahaha I'm Still Alive!

The last couple of weeks of my life have been hectic and stupid, which is why no updates have happened until now.  Being the genious that I am, I decided it'd be a good idea to work about 50 hours a week at Hardee's and Piggly Wiggly, leaving me with only a few hours of my day to do things like relax, eat and sleep.  Things look dismal for my sanity until I got a call from the Brokaw Paper Mill, saying they'd hire me for a hella lot of money.  They love me so much they plan on paying me $12.50 an hour to work for them, that's a lot of love.  This also means I'll probably only work 40 hours a week, meaning more of my awesomeness for all to see.  Or not, who knows.  This of course is not an update, for it is nearing my bedtime and I have to get up at 9 tomorrow, which is horseshit.  Hopefully now with my new job I'll have a bit more spare time to work on writing projects that involved a computer and the internet, assuming my brother isn't being a loser on the Rome Total War forums.  Seriously, he's on there all the time.  ALL THE DAMN TIME.  I barely have enough time to see what the intelligent folk on Blabbermouth.net have to say about every band ever.  Did you guys know that Kurt Cobain was a no talent hack who couldn't write a song for his life?  Here I thought he was an extremely talented musician, but thank goodness those guys set me straight.  Okay, Robot Chicken is on now, bye.

12:03 pm - Summer Time Dawg!

Hello and welcome again to the Satellite of Love, I'm Mike Nelson and--just kidding, you've actually stumbled across my Magnificent Tales once again, you lucky dog you.  The updates are going to be getting a bit sparse nowadays since I'm at home, working my ass off for money I can't spend, but when you do get updates, boy oh boy they'll be humdingers (sometimes)!  I'm sure I'll have plenty of wonderful things to talk about from my adventures at Hardee's and Piggly Wiggly, where I will be getting paid $6.50 and $6.00 per hour, respectively.  Tales of people ordering a "two-quarter pound thickburger" and hours of sheer boredom will fill these posts for the next three months, and it's going to lead to comedy gold, which will later be examined and declared "fool's" comedy gold.  Enjoy, you ungrateful mongrels.


For some reason, I've decided to undergo an intense training regimine this summer.  This consists of finally using the bench press set my mom bought for me a few years ago and running a lot.  I guess I thought there was an obvious need for me to get in hella good shape this summer, although I can't really think of it right now.  Maybe I'll decide to become one of those paparazzi journalists instead of a normal, good journalist and I'll need incredible climbing and running abilities to keep up with the moving limosine and scale those unreasonably high walls celebrities have around their houses.  With my newly toned body, I will be able to report to you all the really important news, like what kind of food Eva Mendes ate for lunch and how thin Lindsay Lohan is actually getting.  Seriously, she's going to disappear completely in a few weeks, it's ridiculous.  She probably ran over some old voodoo doctor's wife and now he cursed her with the Thinner Spell, she's as good as gone.  Anyway, I assume that by the end of the summer I'll be able to kill a bear with a super kick and bend steel with my hair, so I'm going to start thinking of ways I'm going to abuse my newfound powers in helpful list form.Read more... )

07:11 pm - House of Wax, The Original Script!

This past weekend saw the debut of the new House of Wax film, much to this weekend's chagrin.  The film starred Elisha Cuthbert, some dude and Paris Hilton, and apparently was supposed to be a remake of the 1953 horror classic of the same name.  The reviews of the film have been, to put it lightly, pretty goddamn horrible.  Currently, the film has a 24% approval rating at rottentomatoes.com, which is pretty abysmal as far as I'm concerned.  Supposedly, the film consisted of Paris Hilton trying to act sexy with one half closed eye and Elisha Cuthbert looking hot while not even trying, and then the villain is some waxy sonofabitch whose name is Vincent, which is the only nod to the original film that doesn't take a dump on its face.  While this film is pretty much a bomb in every sense of the word, but there's been rumors... ON THE INTERNETS... about an original script that didn't suck so much.  Well, strangely enough, I was able to get my hands on this script, and boy, I'd say it's about, I dunno, a MILLION times better than the filmed version.  I have no idea why they didn't stick with this version, because as you'll see it is really good, but hey, that's what happens when idiots start making movies.  I will bore you no longer with my intro, here is the synopsis of the oh gee version of House of Wax: 2005!!

01:52 pm - The Dumbfuck's Guide to Tekken 5

As you may have guessed from my last post, my birthday was last weekend, and boy was it a doozie.  I received many wonderful gifts that would make any Muslim convert to Christianity with the promise of said gifts, including The Exotic Sounds of the Alter Boys (I'll give it 4.5 stars out of 5), Mystery Science Theater 3000 Vol. 7 DVD set, and a stuffed Godzilla toy that roars when you hug it (sweet).  But I'd have to say the greatest gift I got for my 19th birthday has to be the video game Tekken 5.  Holy crap is this a good game.  I have been a fan of the Tekken series for years now after I spent about twenty bucks of my parents' money at the arcade playing Tekken 2 instead of watching my brother bowl six years ago, because watching him bowl is horrifying.  This is the first Tekken game I've actually owned because I was a Nintendo n00b during Tekken's rise to power, so I am amazed at how awesome the game is.  And I realize that this, like any other game, is played by newbies, so I am going to try to cure some of the noobishness that people who aren't me are plagued by with my Dumbfuck's Guide to Tekken 5.  Behold!

12:49 pm - First Annual Birthday Spectacular!!!

Yes, in only two days, my wonderful birthday will come, and all the Christians will celebrate.  I don't know if any of you know this, but I share a birthday with some pretty famous people, namely the legendary Willie Nelson, the regal Carl Gustav XVI, the comely Kirsten Dunst, and the black Isiah Thomas.  If you didn't know that fact, you probably don't know that every year, a few days before April 30th, these four celebrities and myself get together for a little party, just to catch up with each other.  We always enjoy a meal of unpeeled grapes and meatsticks while we discuss our lives, and afterwards we watch a Godzilla movie of rotating person's choice.  This year, it's Isiah's turn, although I think he'll be hard pressed to top Carl Gustav's choice of Godzilla vs. Gigan from last year.  We've been doing this for some time now, I think close to ten years, and this year I've decided to let you all in the secret awesomeness.  Behold, my wonderful April 30th Celebrity Birthday Party!

03:20 pm - Does Your Favorite Band Suck?

Everybody knows that everybody has opinions about music; everybody also knows that everybody else's opinions are wrong.  If you like a certain band or type of music, there is always somebody out there to point out why you are a faggot for thinking that way.  I got to thinking that since all of the arguments presented by everyone could not be disproven by the opposing side, maybe I could take all the elements of all these different viewpoints in an effort to find the perfect band.  Over a course of several years, I traveled around the globe, gathering facts from people of all walks of life about what made a band suck.  Out of my travels came a checklist that has been proven by scientists and the experts at VH1 to be a valid form of band classification.  By applying these rules to a band, we can decisively determine whether a band is good or for retarded goths.  Behold!

Checklist for Band Suckiness
1.  If a band has sold over 500,000 copies of an album, this means they have sold out and made pussy music for the masses.
2.  If a band has sold under 100,000 copies of an album, this means they suck too much to reach an audience larger than the people in their home city.
3.  If any member of a band is black, the band is automatically disqualified from ever being good.
4.  If any member of a band is a girl who doesn't dress like a slut, they are just a bunch of teases who think they are too good to show us some ti-tays.
5.  If any member of a band is a girl who does dress like a slut, this means they are just trying to get attention by whoring her out, which is just disgusting.
6.  If a band sings about how their parents beat them when they were children and how they want to commit suicide, this means they are crybabies who can't grow up because we all know that child abuse isn't that big of a deal.
7.  If a band sings about love, they are fags, even if they are a band full of women.
8.  If a band sings about "bitches" and "hoes," they can be referred to Rule Number 3.
9.  If a band sings about Satan, they are just a bunch of crazy bastards who are out of touch with reality.
10.  If a band sings about God, that means they are just trying to appeal to the massive Christian market, meaning they are crazy Jesus freaks who are out of touch with reality.
11.  If a band has the name "A New Found Glory," that means they suck really, really bad.
12.  If a band has made a music video, it means they are a sell out TRL band.
13.  If a band does not make a music video, it means they suck too much to get the okay from the studio to produce one.
14.  If a band plays at a venue with 5,000 or higher person capacity, that means they are just touring for money, not for the music.
15.  If a band plays at a venue with less than 1,000 person capacity, that means they suck too bad to fill up a larger venue.
16.  If a band wears masks/makeup, they are homos, pure and simple.
17.  If a band has more than five members, they are just stupid and should be ignored.
18.  If a band formed from 1995 or later, that means they are part of the new, shittier version of music that has polluted the airwaves.
19.  If a band formed earlier than 1993, that means they are too old and no longer musically relavant.  Grow up, you fucking dinosaurs.
20.  If one of the band's members look like this...

...you would do our nation a favor by fire bombing their tour bus, killing them all.
21.  If a band uses acoustic instruments... I shouldn't have to explain this.
22.  If a band uses amps and distortion devices, that mean they masturbate to pictures of Tubgirl.
23.  If a lead singer screams throughout every song, this means I can't understand them and I fear things I can't understand.
24.  If a lead singer has an American Idol-esque voice, this means they are gay and enjoy mansecks, even if the lead singer is a woman.
25.  If a band is not American through and through, they are traitors and should have umbrellas shoved up their asses and then have the umbrellas opened.
26.  If a band has a lead singer that can't take a few point-blank gun shot wounds without dying, that means your band is full of pussies who can't hold their liquor.
27.  If a band's lead singer commits suicide, that means he knew the band sucked and got off the ship before it sank.
28.  If a band uses any instruments or lyrics that bands in the past have, that means they are unoriginal and need to steal ideas to suck.
29.  If a band can be categorized into a genre of music, this means they suck quite profusely, because labels means they are conforming, and conforming is fucking retarded, as noted by George Orwell, I think.
30.  If I don't listen to a band on a consistent basis, that means they don't matter since my opinion trumps all, even that of God's.
31.  I hope you get the joke now, dammit.

There, that's my scientifically proven list of ways a band can suck.  If any bands you listen to fall under any of these qualifications, you should probably stop listening to them before somebody catches you and tells your parents.  Hopefully this list will help all music lovers discern from the globally accepted music and the shit that you like.

12:36 pm - Cat Hunting Season, Yo!

Normally when I turn on the news or connect to my favorite news web site (via the internet) I always block out such things as world events or national politics and only pay attention to the entertainment report, since that's what's really important.  Yesterday, though, was a different kind of news day.  On any other day, the news of Britney Spears finally forgetting to take her morning after pill and getting knocked up would have rocked the very fabric of humanity, changing the course of history forever; but yesterday, a referendum held in my homestate, Wisconsin, overshadowed Britney's whorish ways.  Apparently, there is a major feral cat problem in Wisconsin (that's news to me) and those little felines are committing a genocide of our state's precious songbird population.  Most states would try to have some sort of capture and neuter plan for the feral cats, but not us--we decided the easiest solution would be TO HUNT THE CATS.  The referendum passed by roughly 1,000 votes, which is a fair amount considering only about 12,000 people voted.  This now means the bill will be given to our state legislature, who will vote on it and if it passes, it will be plopped on the desk of our honorable governer Jim Doyle for approval.  The reason why I am overly excited about this is because cats annoy me.  They are generally unaffectionate, angry, territorial, and can't do tricks.  Cat owners confuse me with their love of an animal that they never get to see or pet or play with, and if the bill becomes law, then I will be able exact sweet revenge on those damn cats.  The day after Jim Doyle puts his John Hancock on that bill, I will position a turret in my backyard so I can sit and wait for cats to come along.  My neighbors better make sure their goddamn cats stay in their yard or else I'm going to snipe the hell out of the cats.  And although the law states you can't kill cats with a collar, I figure it should be easy enough to remove the collar after the killing and bury it in my garden, then claim the owner never put a collar on their cat.  Yes, yes this is all good news.  I'm so eagerly anticipating this bill becoming law, I'm going to be first to lay down some rules for the cat hunt. 

Baiting:
In case you are in a location with very few cats, you will be able to utilize cat-baiting to attract your prey into your line of fire.  Below are some suggestions of possible bait that will be legal to use:
          

Legal Hunting Areas:
Anywhere cats are prevalent, feral or domesticated.  This includes fish stores, fences, farms, the Humane Society and cat owners' houses.

Methods of Hunting:
Like the old saying goes, there is more than one way to skin a cat, and never before has it been more appropriate to a situation.  There really will be no limits to how you can hunt these beasts, so the only restriction is your the magnitude of your imagination.  Below are a few of my personal suggestions:
Bear Traps--This idea coincides with the baiting plan.  Just plop some Fancy Feast in the middle of a bear trap, sit back and enjoy the show.
Mine Up the Litter Box--This plan will probably be the most hilarious of any hunting method.  Carefully hide a few PMN mines under the odor absorbing crystals of the litter box and wait for some cat to come meet its maker.  Those stupid fucking cats will walk around like they're going to the bathroom, when in reality they are going to the death!  Hell yeah!
Trap Them in a Box--The old box and stick trap.  Pull the string attached to the stick once the cat walks inside the box, thus trapping the cat.  How you kill them is up to you at that point, it's all up to how creative you are.  I personally plan on drilling a hole in the box wide enough to slide in a lit stick of dynamite.

Appropriate Weapons For the Hunt:
Along with any other methods you can think of, there will be the traditional gun or arrow hunting approach.  Below are some of the guidelines for weapons during the hunt:

Bow and Arrow--You know what this looks like, I'm not getting you a picture.  This is a highly recommended method of hunting, since it will probably be the most agonizing death for the cats out of any of these weapons.

M4A01
--High powered sniper rifle that will make sure those cats won't cause trouble any more, since they will be in many, many little pieces.


M79 Grenade Launcher--It's in the game, you paid $50 for the game, you should be able to use it.  Feel free to launch away!


IW-80A2--The above statement about it being in the game does not apply to this gun.  It is a n00b cannon and if I fucking see any of you faggots using the Eye Dubya to hunt cats, I swear I'm going to fucking TK you and vote your ass out.  I swear, I'll do it, you fucking dick sucking n00b.


Yeah, that's about all I care to say about the subject.  Hopefully our Wisconsin state government will come to their senses and totally allow open hunting on feral cats.  Cats serve no purpose in society, and if anything the hunt should be expanded to domesticated cats.  Cats are like lizards in the amount of affection they give, but the redeeming value of looking cool is not found in cats.  Cats are worthless.  Cats, if anything, are food for children and cows.  My advice to any person who has their cat "accidentally" killed in the cat hunt--get a dog.

09:28 pm - Nazis Are Bad and Other Observations That Go Without Saying

The other day when I was on lower campus enjoying a wonderful sandwich (or a low quality deli wrap, I don't remember) when I saw a very butch looking young man wearing an leather coat with an interesting message. Emblazoned on the back of the coat was a nazi swastika that had a big red slash through it. This made me think; this young man was certainly making a bold statement. When he woke up that morning, he looked in his closet of message bearing coats and spotted that particular coat and thought to himself, "Yes. Yes, that is the coat that I will wear today." He didn't care that there might be some nazis attending college and eating lunch in that very same lunch room, he was going to make a statement. This young man was declaring to the world "I THINK NAZIS ARE BAD AND I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU ALL THINK!" I realized to myself that oftentimes on college campuses, there are people that like to go against the grain, take the side of the minority. This boy knew that there probably were plenty of people he upset with his anti-nazi coat, but he didn't care. He was drawing a line in the sand, the line that seperated the nazi majority and the jewish/gypsy/homosexual/christian/atheist/agnostic/republican/african american/african/asian/asian american/irish/democrat/mentally disabled/deaf/blind/communist/muslim/most of france/furry minority. Kudos, Mr. Anti-Nazi coat dude. You have inspired me to once again break out my "Ice Cream is Yummy" t-shirt that I hid deep in my closet due to fear of persecution. You are the wind beneath my nazi-hating, ice cream-loving wings.

Ha ha, yeah, that's all I got.  Boy, I'm lame.  Tired too.  I need to get some sleep and a trucker hat to wear on my head improperly.  Maybe a shirt with sleeves that only cover my deltoid muscles on my arm, that'd be sweet.  Then my pants need to not be loose but actually very appropriately sized and then wear them around my thighs so it looks like they're really loose.  Then I need to wear a sweater that only goes down to my waist, revealing my boxers to the world.  This will not only provide me with more writing material, it'll probably get me some ladies, too.  I'll wear boxers that have the word "penis" with an arrow pointing down to my crotch in the front and the phrase "EXIT ONLY LAWL" on the back, just to remind those homosexual rapists that I'm not in play.  The "penis" part is self-explanitory.  Yes, that will do.  Tomorrow's Saturday, so I could go over to the mall and spend some of my parents' money to get me some of said clothing.  Then I'll come back and start a prostitution ring where I'll be the only eligible customer, since all the ladies will only want me and my awesomely witty boxers.  I'll be sure to update all of you on that as it progresses; as for now, I'm going to talk to jokers and pot smokers on SOCOM II online.  They will reaffirm my belief in humanity.  Ciao, bitches!

03:40 pm - The World Mourns the Loss of Some Lady

I don't know if anybody knows about this, but apparently Terri Schaivo died yesterday. There has been little coverage of this in the media, so I think I should probably give some background to the readers out there; about 15 years ago, Mrs. Schaivo was experimenting with bulimia (as any good Christian would) and lost control of its amazing weight loss powers.  She lost the usage of everything on her body except for her eyes and haunting smile, but was still somehow alive.  Her doctors, family, and husband were momentarily saddened by this development, but then realized that this could be the start of an amazing scientific revolution.  They figured if they could keep her alive until modern technology became advanced enough, they could turn Terri Schaivo into a mechanical super soldier (they had something like Robocop in mind perferably).  Fifteen years later, a.k.a. today, her husband realized they were tampering in God's domain and ordered the feeding tube that fed her the life energy of sacrificed virgins be removed.  The doctors and the courts agreed, saying the MechaTerri Project was not cost efficient, citing the slow advancement of technology.  Her family, though, thought that they had invested too much money in the project and pulling the plug now would cause them to lose millions in potential dollars from the funding the military would have given them, and refused to have the virgin tube removed.  The Republicans viewed her as potentially invincible soldier of Christ, the leader of their party, so they tried to pass legislation or some shit to get the tube back in her tummy.  Then the courts in the Florida overruled the legislation and were like, "BITCH DON'T BRING THAT WEAK SHIT 'ROUND HERE!!!"  Terri finally passed away on March 31, 2005, 9:05 a.m. EST, after two weeks without her life force.  Yeah, that's how it went, don't even check to see if I'm right.  You can trust me.

Anyway, this is tragic for the entire world because she's white and now we're all in mourning.  People all around the world have poured their sympathy toward Terri's family, including some powerful public figures.  Below are some are their testimonials and condolences they are sending to Terri and her family:


The Undertaker:  Now... after 15 years... Terri Schaivo can finally... Rest... In... PEACE...


Stephen Hawking:  There can be only one!!


George W. Bush:  Of course it was tragic!... what was the question again?


Osama bin Laden:  Yeah, remember me, bitches?  That's right, it's me, Osama!  And you guessed right, I pulled the feeding tube from Terri Schaivo!  Didn't see that coming, did ya?!


Corey Taylor:  Although the passing of Terri Schaivo, or any life for that matter, is a horrible loss, I am relieved by her crossing over.  To see her puppeted around by her family and the politicians as some sort of martyr for the religious right disgusted me to no end.  The Republicans in Congress and the President tried to pull on the nation's heartstrings so they could overturn the courts' decisions, which is a breach of the Jeffersonian Democracy's idea of checks and balances, which is not only sickening to see, but also very frightening to think about.  If the executive or legislative branch can all of a sudden not have to answer to the judicial branch, we will be one step closer to an Orwellian regime running our country.  I pray for Mrs. Schaivo's soul, but I also pray for the future of our democracy in this great nation we live in.


Christopher Lambert:  There can be only--wait, that's already taken?  Shit, um...


Christopher Lambert:  You will participate in Mortal Kombat, to stop the armies of Shao Kahn from entering our realm... or something... fuck, whatever.  RIP, Mitch Hedberg.

There you have it, an outpouring of emotion from our nation's most powerful people.  I hope all of you are properly saddened by her passing, or Congress will pass legislation against YOU.

Sometimes I go on a tangent and that tangent has a bomb strapped to it, one that will go off if I let the tangent travel below 50 mph, and the only way to stop it is to have a dashing yet wooden Keanu Reeves defuse the bomb.

03:31 pm - Is You a Race-alist?

Why hello thurr, children!  You know, in my recent journeys across this barren wasteland known as "the internet," I have begun to notice how much Affirmative Action is talked about by people.  Oftentimes, Affirmative Action is not spoken of in a positive light; in fact, some people downright disagree with it.  It would be unfair of me to say that all of these people are poor white folk who have been beaten out by a Mexican for a job at Wal-Mart, but yeah, they're all poor white folk who have been beaten out by a Mexican for a job at Wal-Mart.  To give you all an idea of an example of this type of thinking, I have randomly taken an article from a random person on the internet, then proceeded to dissect and disembowel his argument.  His speech of ignorance is in bold and my words of marginally less ignorance are in not-bold. And yes, the thing might be double spaced, but I don't care. Makes it look like a term paper or something.  Behold:

To make up for the economic deficit in the black community caused by slavery, segregation and racial oppression that has happened in our nations history, we as a people currently implement a system called “Affirmative Action” to help make up for the wrongs our ancestors committed. I believe Affirmative Action is wrong, and not only wrong, but racist and unnecessary.

Not like slavery, right?

The Democrats politically advance systems like Affirmative Action, and several other programs such as “Black History Month” in public schools are currently in affect to try and make up for the wrongs our ancestors inflicted upon the African American population, which in itself, is wrong.

Those damn Democrats, trying to teach people in schools about American history.  I know I'm severely inconvenienced by Black History Month; a few weeks ago I was trying to watch metal music videos on BET, and those fuckers were playing rap music!  Goddammit, where's my Meshuggah and Mushroomhead videos, BET??  Did you give in to the powerful influences of the Democratic Party during Black History Month and show rap music??  Sheesh!!

The fact that segregation, slavery, and oppression happened cannot be denied, nor their wrongs undone, and yet our government tries to do exactly that.

Adolf Eichmann--"Yeah, sorry about that whole Holocaust deal, I feel really bad.  But come on, people; inditing me of war crimes isn't going to bring those 6 million people back, so let's just let bygones be bygones, whaddya say?"

Due to a lack of general family wealth Affirmative Action is trying to get African Americans better job opportunities in our nation today, but such programs have negative side effects. The first and most obvious is that Affirmative Action in and of itself is racist.

Yes, negative side affects like people getting jobs they normally couldn't get.  Boy, that'd be a tragedy, wouldn't it?

It is a program based solely on race to advance one race above another, creating an unequal playing field, supposedly trying to even the playing field due to lack of family wealth.

This man's ignorance is displayed for all to see here.  Affirmative Action is not about uneven playing fields due to family wealth; it is about uneven playing fields due to RACE.  Pretty much his whole argument is moot and worthless after this point, but I'm going to continue anyway because I'm a jerk.

What is happening though is Colleges seeking out minorities to have a “more diverse” school, placing people with lower, sometimes substantially lower scores in the college to have a higher diversity, and unfortunately, that means majorities must have higher test scores to compensate.

Yes, because I've seen so many Colleges (note the capital "C") letting in kids from the Bronx with ACT scores of around 6, it happens all the time.  I know I have to totally ace both the ACT and SAT tests to even hope to get into a community College now thanks to Affirmative Action.

Diversity is not a bad thing, it is required diversity that is messing up the system.

This is true, but since when has America been good about unforced diversity?  Our public schools are still largely segregated, large black populations are forced into ghettos of cities while white folks move out into suburbia to avoid any contact with black people, and our professional basketball teams are dominated by large black men.  Forcing diversity is about the only way you can go about achieving diversity because if we were left on our own, we'd be like we were back in the 1950s.

Colleges are required to have a certain level of diversity, and receive recognition for having more, which leads to talented people who are members of a majority to be left behind. Affirmative Action is trying to level the playing field, but instead is kicking off a large portion of talented students, and taking their place are less talented people with a less common skin color.

No, not really.  Affirmative Action only takes people with relatively close scores and choses the darkie; they don't kick out a kid with a 4.0 GPA and a 34 ACT score to put Ja Rule in their colleges.  I actually would prefer black people of the same intelligence to come to my college instead of whiney white people like the author of this rant, despite black people's taste in music.

Colleges are not the only areas effected by Affirmative Action. Two equally qualified people go to a job interview and the minority will always be hired. If the majority is hired the minority can sue for racism, but if the minority is hired the majority cannot do anything but continue the job search. Such a double standard is becoming commonplace in our society, enforced diversity leading to less opportunities for people without the benefit of being a minority.

"The benefit of being a minority?"  BWAHAHAHAHAHA THAT MAKES ME ROFL TOO HARD STOP YOU'RE HURTING ME LOLOLOLOLOL!!1!!11.1/

Not only will the minority have a degree from a better school, but even if the majority can match it the minority will still end up with the job, causing minorities to get jobs they simply don’t deserve, and the employer cannot do anything about it because of the threat of a lawsuit. Diversity is a good thing, but when enforced in this manner comes at a price, and that price happens to be less qualified employees and the threat of a lawsuit looming around every corner.

I'm not even going to say anything about this because he just keeps saying the same damn argument over and over.  "Waaaaahh!!!  Really dumb negros are taking all of our jobs!!!  They're taking all of our dorms at college!!!!  Waaaaahh, some black guy named Jamal came and stole my girlfriend, promising her the wonders of a female orgasm!!!  Fukkin' Affirmative Action!!1"

But if all of these are true, how can Affirmative Action still be in place in our society? Democrats will always keep this on their agenda to get “The Black Vote”, whether or not it is morally sound. Coming from the African American perspective, Affirmative Action is making up for wrongs done to their family, and trying to level the playing field for minorities to obtain jobs. But if I received a job when there were 5 other people going for it, and I was a minority, they weren’t, I would always have the thought lingering on my shoulder, “Did I just get this job because of my race?” Job satisfaction comes partially from knowing you do your job well, and how can you be satisfied if the only reason you got the job in the first place was the color of your skin or the accent of your voice? As well, what happens to the 5 other applicants who may have been more qualified but must find jobs elsewhere?

Wow, this is assuming a lot.  The author begins to fantasize about being black, possibly because he dreams of having a penis that is larger than his thumb when erect.  The author here says that black people should always be ashamed of getting jobs when another person in the running for the said jobs is white, and he's right.  Black people should know their place in society, they should know everything given to them is a gift and they didn't deserve it, and the author here brilliantly illustrates this point.  Also, damn those damn Democrats again for trying to stick to a platform of charity and compassion toward the unfortunate population of this nation.  Allah will have special punishments in store for them in the afterlife due to their kindness.

Affirmative Action is far from perfect, but no one seems to understand how to improve the system. A better system would be more government grants and scholarships to people who do not have an abundance of family wealth to fund college and an education, so people get equal opportunities and are not left behind due to bad financial standing. This would not be a system based on race, but a system based no means, since the main argument for Affirmative Action is that the African American family treasury is less than the majorities. 
However, there are poor white families too, who would get a fair share of this program. A poor African American family getting more money than a poor Caucasian family is racism, plain and simple, and that’s what’s happening right now with Affirmative Action. The program should be based on wealth, not race, this would even out the scales, and cause less of a disturbance in the balance of things.

So, basically the author wants to change Affirmative Action into welfare.  Geez, that's a good idea.  Seriously, if this dude wants financial help that much, he should just go find a mud puddle to roll in, start whitening his teeth and listen to rap music, because THAT'S THE ONLY WAY YOU ARE GOING TO GET HELP FROM THE AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PROGRAMS.  YOU MUST BE BLACK OR SOME OTHER MINORITY, THAT IS THE DEFINITION OF THE AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PROGRAMS.  DUR-HEY.

In conclusion, Affirmative Action has several negative side effects. Enforced diversity in colleges pushes out majorities, and condemns poor families of a majority even more than they would be before. Jobs are then offered to minorities over majorities, giving them even less of a chance to succeed. Focus on race instead of means causes majorities without the means to be completely left behind by the system, practically condemning them to poverty. Affirmative Action should be a system based on means instead of race.

In conclusion, you are a racist moron.  You don't understand what Affirmative Action is trying to fix, which is why you make a fool out of yourself.  Affirmative Action is not about helping poor families, it's about helping minorities get opportunities they haven't been able to get for decades because your and my ancestors were assholes to their ancestors.  Don't listen to what your dad or uncle says about losing their jobs to some hmong or mexicans at the glue factory; they are worthless and probably demanded to work for more money than the people who took their jobs.  If I totaled your car with my biceps when you hit me as I was walking across the street, you would want me to pay for your car, correct?  If you answered yes, you support Affirmative Action.  Thank you and come again.

By the way, here's a link to his page if you want to read more about stuff.  I suppose if you enjoy misinformed diatribes about race, religion and politics from a teenage atheist (check out his comedy section, he has chat logs from his discussion with a Christian friend of his, which are just absolutely HILARIOUS), this boy's website is the thing for you.

12:19 pm - Music You Should Listen To, Vol. 1

Yeah, I'm not feeling very creative right now, so I'm just going to be a worthless tool and recommend music to you. Since I'm sure right now you're either spinning that new Beck or whoever album that you stole from their studio computer or noddin' yo head to some trippin' rhymes, my music recommendations will be unique to you. You will hate them and think less of me for suggesting them, but I will do it anyway in an attempt to spread good music to the masses, because my opinion is better than yours. Okay, first song:

"Famine Ghost", The Alter Boys
Don't let the sort of gay name fool you--these guys will roxorz your soxorz off. They have a very interesting mix of the old surfing music, ala The Beach Boys, combined with a little metal and a little pop. Holy shit that sounds like a bad combination, but trust me, this is an excellent song. The song is driven by lead singer Jason Popson's vocal range, which jumps from a fierce growl to a sorrowful wail. This dude seriously has a kick ass voice, I'm not kidding. Go here for a free listen to this song and their other very strange but very awesome song, "Pigs & Pineapples."  Everybody should like these songs, but since I recommended them, they won't because they think they're cool.  You will secretly like The Alter Boys, though, and wish you weren't such a self-righteous bastard so you could allow yourself to like good music rather than whatever your friends like.  You will slowly begin to hate yourself and start a Livejournal so you can make fun of people without ever having to meet them.  You will also begin recommending music that you think is good, and guess which song you're going to suggest?  That's right, bitch, "Famine Ghost."  It all comes full circle, doesn't it?

"Vol. 3:  The Subliminal Verses", Slipknot
Okay, just hold on, don't stop reading; I know most people who have a Livejournal or that know how to read don't like Slipknot.  But you must ask yourselves, why?  Is it the masks?  The jumpsuits?  The fact that all the annoying, stupid goth people at school always wear shirts with the name "Slipknot" emblazoned on them?  These are all, for lack of a better term, frickin' retarded reasons not to like a band, and you should be shamed for thinking that way.  Have you ever really sat down and listened to a Slipknot record?  Of course you haven't, or else you'll turn out like that dude with the black lipstick who sleeps in all your classes, right?  Well, I'd like to say that I am living proof that doesn't happen.  Slipknot is angry, yes, but in their first two CDs, they showed glimpses of trying to add harmony and melody to their songs (well, maybe not so much on Iowa), and in their third effort, they have really hit the mark.  They combine the fury of past Slipknot CDs with hooks and melody, evident on songs like "Before I Forget" and "Vermillion, Part 1."  And in case you are worthless and are into love songs, there is the wonderful "Vermillion, Part 2," a heartfelt song that has jocks all over America singing it to their girlfriends while hiding the fact that the song is by Slipknot.  A sure fire hit with any open-minded music fan, but there aren't any of those, so I guess it's going to be a hit with nobody.  Dammit.

"Sticks and Stones", A New Found Glory
Just kidding, these guys fucking suck.

"Godzilla's Theme", 伊福部昭
Of all the musical scores to films I have heard in my life, this has to be the most affecting and haunting of them all.  The melding of the crushing brass section and the suspense-inducing string section create a mental imagery of the beast Godzilla, ruining all of Japan's shit.  伊福部昭 really hit the mark on this one, teeing it up and scoring a touchdown with only two ticks on the clock, creating an appropriately foreboding theme for the most enduring movie monster of our time.  American composers could learn a few things from 伊福部昭 about creating a mood to a film; 伊福部昭's score didn't just sit in the background of the film, it became part of the story.  You could also afford to check out the rest of 伊福部昭's work on other Godzilla films in the CD Best of Godzilla: 1984-1995.  You could also afford to check out the films from that era, but you're too damn cool for that, aren't you?  Anyway, kudos, 伊福部昭; you are a master at your craft, and a legend in composering or whatever.

Well, that's all the good music I think you people deserve to know about.  I might eventually make some more recommendations, seeing as how I titled this post "Music You Should Listen To, Vol. 1," but I only like good music, so there might not be enough songs and bands out there that warrant me giving them a thumbs up.  Ha ha, yeah, I rule.

04:03 pm - A Test of Will Power

I wasn't planning on updating today, but this is too good to pass up; I was playing Madden 2005 as I normally do online, and I was owning once again with my advanced defense attack (with the sucky Vikings defense, no less). But sometime during the middle of the 3rd quarter, the stupid bastard unplugged his controller and now the game has paused, waiting for him to plug his controller back in. Well, I am sure as hell not going to disconnect the game and take the loss; the stupid bitch needs to be taught a lesson. At the time I write this, I have been waiting for roughly 2 hours for him to quit or plug his controller back in. Updates will come throughout the day as I try and make it through this very stupid episode of my day. I can tell this will be a long battle, for I can only imagine he has an infinite amount of child porn to toss off to while he waits for me to break. I have plenty of Spanish and biology homework to do, so I have no problem waiting this out. Donations will be accepted by anyone who wants to support me in this trying time.

06:41 pm

I've been doing some looking around at other people's Livejournals, and I've come to discover that most people actually use their LJs (the street term) to talk about and personally analyze the day's events. I figured I might give that a try today and recount what happened in my wonderful day for the enjoyment of all. I sort of just throw in times randomly with no set periods or anything, and I really don't keep a consistent tense, so yeah. Just read, little bitch, it'll be okay.

9:56 am--I wake up. "Curses," I breathe to myself. "I'm up a half hour before my alarm was supposed to go off." I knew I couldn't just go back to sleep, since I can't fall asleep until after I imagine myself in a ten minute threesome with Kirsten Dunst and Scarlett Johansson. I get up, angry at the Gods who have damned me to a loss of almost thirty minutes of sleep, and proceed to choose my clothing for the day. The jeans I wore the day before look the most appealing to me, along with my Nike sweater that I found abandoned last year in a vacation home my family was staying at. I also decided to forgo both breakfast and brushing my teeth in favor of going on the internet to check my empty e-mail inbox. After thirty minutes of looking at Something Awful's Photoshop Phriday, it is time to go to my one class of the day. I slap on my babe-attracting Axe Deoderant, throw on my Pro Football Hall of Fame baseball cap (an oxymoron if I've ever seen one) and head out the door, with book bag in hand and a song in my heart. I mentally ready myself to learn Spanish, the language of the future rulers of America. Down the hill I walk, thinking how cool I must look to everybody.

10:59 am--I get to Spanish class with a minute to spare. There are losers there that have obviously been there for up to three minutes already; I silently mock them. I take my seat in the back of the class (that's where all the pimps sit) just as "La Profesora" enters the room. Instantly she peppers us with advanced Spanish words and phrases, like "¿Cómo éstan?" and "la fin de semana." After being thoroughly confused by her quick speaking and distracting yet meaningless body motions, she throws a worksheet at us. I quickly pray to Allah to help guide me to the answers, but in response, the True God says "Sheeeet, I'm Arabian! I don't know no damn Spanish, foo'!" After fumbling my way through the paper, she asks us to read our answers aloud to the class (or at least that's what I gathered from her facial expression). Nervously I read my answer, which turned out to be in perfect Spanish. I perform a SOCOM II celebratory dance inside my head when I returned to my seat. Then we were required to start writing a one page paper--IN SPANISH!!!!--and have it done by a week and half from today. I openly wept as the class ended and I headed out the door.

11:53 am--I go to the campus bookstore in search of pencils and lip blam, for I can no longer ignore the vagina-sized crack that is appearing the middle of my bottom lip. I quickly find the mechanical pencils I love so much (the ones with those big soft white erasers that are perfect for doodling in class when the teacher is talking about his or her political views). Soon, the lip balm is soon revealed to me by Allah, making up for dropping the ball on that Spanish worksheet earlier. I head up to the counter, strangely nervous that I had to buy lip balm. I for some reason believe that perhaps people would think less of me if they knew my lips chapped like a bitch, but I figure it would only be a secret the cashier and I would share. Unfortunately, the package of lip balm has no price tag on it, so she loudly asks how much it cost. Terrified, I shrug my shoulders as the people in the growing line behind me look questioningly at me. They trade whispers with one another, speculating about why I needed lip balm. I could only imagine what they were saying, possibly something to the effect of "Why does that guy have to buy lip balm? How did his lips get so chapped?", which was probably answered by "He's probably been sucking too much cock lately." I barely hold the tears back as I pay for my items and briskly head out the door, never to show my face in the campus bookstore again.

12:11 pm--I make it back to my dorm room despite the hella cold weather outside, carrying a Stuft Burrito and cookie I bought at the campus shitty-food store on the way up the hill. I heartily eat both as I engage in AIM conversations with high school chums. I decide to play some SOCOM II online after my friend tells me to, since I am a sucker for peer pressure. A good time is had by all, since we were witness to accusations of homosexuality and claims of racial dominance, which are pretty normal occurances on SOCOM II online. I, of course, kick ass, but due to my teammates being n00bs/bad maps/lag, I often find myself on the losing side of many a battle. At one point I am kicked out of a snipers only room because I had "crossed over" and ran up to the terrorists and shot them point blank with my sniper rifle. Apparently, this is a big no-no in the snipers only community. I also discover that snipers only players hate having fun of any kind and often engage in rather suspicious father-son relationships with each other. I soon become bored with being the best SOCOM II player in the world and decide to listen to some music and surf "the net."

5:12 pm--Yeah, that's right--I played SOCOM II for FIVE HOURS, and I didn't even feel bad about it. I sit on my computer until suddenly an old acquaintance of mine from high school AIMed me. He gets off to a bad start, calling me "time" and being slow to correct himself. I blow off the mistake since I am a forgiving person, and I make a delightfully witty comment about the current state of hockey in America. I soon discover my friend is a crazy-ass hockey fan, because he gives a BS reason why hockey isn't popular in the USA. He says they have too many teams, which somehow makes people hate hockey. I thought it was strange that football actually had two more teams than hockey does in its league, yet is infinitely more popular. Not quite thinking he was serious, I crack that the only reason why hockey is popular in the northern states of America is because we have caught whatever freaky disease the Canadians have, but the disease cannot survive past the Wisconsin/Illinois border. He goes on to list many hockey-loving states that are above the WI/IL border to disprove my point, which makes me shake my head in disapproval. His logic and way of life thoroughly crushed by my infinite wisdom and logic, he says something to the effect of "well i'm goIng two go WAatch broomball now... teh Poormans' hockie so SUCK ON TAHT!!1/11" and quickly signs off AIM before I can respond. I silently pray for his soul since he was not going to play broomball, but rather watch broomball, which is perhaps the lamest thing anyone in the world has ever done.

6:15 pm--I decide to play Madden. I randomly pick the Ravens and my opponent picks the Falcons, and I laugh to myself. Anyone who picks the Falcons is either a gigantic n00b or a beast, and early on in the game, I could tell he was not the latter. Confused by the complex blitzing scheme I had employed, he quits the game before the end of the third quarter. I run it down the computer's throat, which proves to suck just as bad as the human player had. The final score is 35-0 HOLY SHIT PWWWWNNNNEED!!!111 A good waste of an hour.

7:15 pm--I start writing this. Damn, this is getting long. I guess I'll just say that I am hit by a bus in my room at this point so this post can end.

In conclusion, that was my day. Pretty awesome, no? No? Really? It sucked? Well, whatever, I don't care. I'm going to sleep now, so Scarlett and Kirsten better get ready.

05:04 pm - Holy Shit, Only 30 More Minutes Until My 4 Minute Song Downloads!

The internet certainly is great, I have decided. From cheap, good pornography to live streaming videos of lonely, average looking girls taking off their clothes, even to naked people having sex, the internet is filled with anything anyone could ever want. Songs have also been made free thanks to the King of the Internet's ruling, and now I can steal songs from musicians before they even think about recording the songs. By the way, Ashlee Simpson has taken a more darker tone in her next album, "The Bleeding Orgasm," but I must say that I enjoy the usage of electronic accordions in her songs. Kudos, Ashlee; that's a solid record you're going to make right there. Anyway, the internet is full of wonderful things, and a gateway to all of this is google.com. This might be perhaps the most useful tool on the internet, allowing me to search for anything in the world and get hundreds of porn sites in return. Here, let's try one just so all of you that are new to the internet can see what I'm talking about; I type in the name "Ashlee Simpson" (to keep in tune with the theme here), and I get the following results:

http://www.misterpoll.com/278493482.html --This site asks all the important questions, like "Whos MTV show do you like better?" and "Whos cd is better?only saw if you have heard both". A stirring case study about this nation's preference for people who share their last name with a murderer/football legend. Thank you, Mr. Poll; you truly are this generation's Freud.

http://www.teenmusic.com/artist.asp?a_id=168 --A fan site devoted to Ms. Simpson, with such wonderfully articulate people, like martin123321, who penned this gem of a post to Ashlee--"she is grate!!!!!!!!! sexy too!!!!" I'm sure Ashlee appreciates the compliment, martin. The marriage should be finalized by next week.

http://www.goatse.ex --Goddamn Goatse! I can't go two feet in the internet without your stretched anus being shoved in my face! DAMN YOU!!

Also, the internet allows you to express your opinions with little or no consequence. Case in point, http://www.wakeupordie.com/html/gateway1.html. Elena Haskins, the creator of this site, says that "Multiculturalism is a pernicious virus that infects and destroys a White 'Gentile' nation." What evidence does she have to back up this claim? None! She doesn't need any! Why? You simpleton, haven't you been listening? This is the internet, nobody has to back up anything they say! You don't even have to put it in a coherent format, you can just put all your text in random lines with no beginning or end to sentences or paragraphs! See how fun this is? Livejournal.com is a good example of people being able to say things without worry of reprimand. I can say Bush is a registered member of NAMBLA and nobody can silence my voice of reason. LJ lets people moan about how their friends are stealing their boyfriends or they can post their unreadable AIM conversations with people they will never meet in real life. And this is all free, too, unless you count the loss of logical and helpful discussion of issues from ever occurring again as a cost, which most respected Republicans don't.

Yeah, that about covers the internet. There's some other stuff on it too, I guess, but I don't have the energy to cover it due to my activities on the Ashlee Simpson teenmusic.com boards taking up most of my time. Wow, my song still hasn't downloaded. Fuck you, Shareaza, give me my Mushroomhead song. I will send you a disguised link to Goatse if you don't, you bastard program. God the internet sucks.

01:28 pm - Ladies and Gentlemen, President... KERRY? A "What If?!" Tale

by Shimi Shaik, Washington Post

Now that we are almost a month into the new Kerry Administration, we can begin to judge and evaluate the legacy that he has already left on the office of the presidency. President Kerry has spent the last few weeks talking to North Korea and Iran, discussing the terms of the surrender of Oregon and Nebraska to the two remaining Axis of Evil members. Finally, Kerry came to the American people to tell them that Colorado and Tennessee have also been thrown into the concessions, along with the new law that all Americans must wear diapers soiled by French Muslims on the outside of their clothing when traveling abroad. Kerry stressed that we must move on despite the resounding losses the US suffered on the negotiating table and continue to obey the commands of our Islamic and Communist conquerers, lest we wish to lose another state or sport more human waste when vacationing outside of the United States. When questioned why so much was lost to the Axis of Evil despite there never being a military conflict, Kerry firmly stated that the Iranians threatened, as he said it, "un-lubed buttsex" and "punches below the belt," and there was little he or his democratic negotiators could do about the threats.

While the war against people-who-haven't-attacked-us-yet isn't turning out exactly as Kerry had planned, the war against people-who-might-of-wanted-to-attack-us-but-we-attacked-them-first, the Iraqi War, has been going quite well. Kerry did manage to create a real alliance between the US and the European powers, creating as the White House calls it, "A Coalition of the Thrilling." France, Germany and Russia have all contributed troops to the Iraqi peace keeping efforts, but not without great concessions on the US's part. To gain the services of these three armies, Kerry had to agree to let all the members of the parliaments of the three countries "have a go" at his beautiful daughters; Kerry could even be forced to watch the "going" if it was in the parliament member's wishes. Iraq is in a state of peace, but Kerry's daughters are starting to get sore and tired, which has many pundits in Washington worrying that the deal might break down if the Kerry daughters don't show a little more vigor in the bed room with the parliament members.

On the domestic front, President Kerry's decisions have been met with mixed reactions. In the case of abortion, Kerry made his most famous speech to date, with the now famous line "I don't support abortion, but if I don't know about it, it can't hurt me, right? Am I right? (which was coupled with a knowing wink and grin towards the American public)", summarizing the entire message of the speech. Pro-life advocates cried foul on the speech, pointing to the suspicious tone and gestures Kerry made throughout the speech; pro-baby killing advocates praised the speech, saying it would be a defining moment in Kerry's tenure at the White House. On a probably unrelated note, alley cats and homeless people in America's urban areas have been caught carrying aborted fetuses found in dumpsters in their mouths at a rate 3000 times greater than in the past decade. Authorities are investigating why.

Kerry has also had mixed results on the gay marriage issue. To please the homophobic midwest, Kerry has sent out his newly acquired Russian troops to wrangle up all admitted and suspected homosexuals across the country. These captured queers have all been sent to populate San Francisco and Massachusetts, creating a sort of Israel and Jeruselum for homosexuals. Large walls have been built up all around the city and the state so neighboring straight citizens don't have to look at their butch hair cuts and metrosexual fashion sense. To appeal to the gays on the issue, Kerry decided that inside their compounds, homosexuals can not only get married, but can create their own laws. They are free to produce their own TV shows and movies so as long as they keep them all within their fortress of homosexuality, the Kerry mandate said. Gays have largely been in support of the idea, although they aren't fans of the Motolov cocktails Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter keep throwing over the walls.

Social Security is fucked up. Bad.

That pretty much covers President Kerry's first month in office up to this point. The advances made by his administration have been a mixed bag, making peace but at the same time being forced to watch crusty foreign men have their ways with his daughters. The next four years promise to be groundbreaking and awesome in this reporter's opinion, because I wasn't really that big of a fan of Oregon or babies in the first place.

08:26 pm - Pamphlets Change Lives

The other day, on my way back from my history class across the bridge in the fine arts building (?) I was stopped at the mouth of the bridge by a man dressed in a very dapper black suit. Turns out that this man is part of some church somewhere, and he had a handful of pamphlets, ready to distribute to the general population. He was kind enough to give me a pamphlet, even though I did my best to avoid him. I took the pamphlet to my economics class where I proceeded to read it (because I rule economics and I don't need to pay attention). According to this pamphlet, apparently I have been living my life in sin in the eyes of the Lord. It gave the analogy of almost catching an airplane is still missing your flight, just like almost being a Christian is still missing out on Heaven, because as we all know, all you have to do to go to Heaven is be a Christian. This really opened up my mind. My whole life had been a lie, and now this pamphlet had made me realize this. Wow, I thought; with the knowledge held inside of this pamphlet, I will now become a member of this church, and forsake my past Allah worshiping ways. It truly was a glorious day for Christianity...

Well, it would have been if that had happened at all. I don't know who the person is who thought that pamphlets about anything would change people's belief systems, but I can pretty much assume he still has trouble not wetting the bed at night. No pamphlet has ever changed anybody's life, with the exception of ones laced with anthrax. This guy obviously thought that somehow his pamphlets would change the mind of college students and make them want to join his church. First of all, if you're going to hand out pamphlets in an attempt to get people to change their mind sets and join your religion, you probably don't want to do it at a college campus. Colleges are like petri dishes for hedonistic and atheist activities, and I'm pretty sure pamphlets aren't going to change this. People who live on colleges have been perfecting their anti-God rhetoric for years, and your pamphlet, however clever and colorful it is, will not do jack squat to change anybody at all. That guy should try handing those pamphlets out at a first grade classroom, that's when you get them. Tell them that your religion is the one with Santa, and Santa doesn't give presents to Hindus or atheists, only Christians. You'll have them hooked for life, just like that. But nobody does this because most people are too much of pussies to walk into a classroom and hand out pamphlets that say why you are going to hell and what you should do about that (the solution generally involves lots of alone time with your pastor, if you know what I mean). You have to get those little mongrels before they can start thinking for themselves, that's when you begin molding them to be soldiers of Christ. Those damn New Yorkians (Yorkites?) and Hollywood Jewish Nazis don't understand.

Basically what I'm saying is that if you want to make me change to your religion, you better do something that's really awesome, like taking a Buddhist and have him get struck by lightning inside a building when he starts to pray or meditate or whatever Buddhists do. Your pamphlets mean nothing to me. Same goes with political pamphlets; you may say Bush is a strong leader and have a picture of him looking at the ceiling in front of an American flag in your pamphlet, but I still read the news and think, "No. No, he's not doing a really good job. Stop voting for him." In fact, get rid of pamphlets all together. Then I wouldn't have so damn many of them in my back pack.

08:00 pm - Latvia is Where the Gangstas Live

Man, Latvia is hardcore. I've always known this as a fact, ever since I saw a man dressed in traditional Latvian religious clothing kill a man with his big toe. My belief was further solidified when today in my journalism class we got to watch a music video from a Latvian rapper. Oh my God, that ruled. They were all wearing big snow jackets, had a pit bull, and sported fabulous bling, just like real honest-to-gosh black rappers here in America. My Latvian is a little rusty, but I was able to discern from the images presented in the video that Latvian cops are just as abusive as they are here in America. They were pulling over and harassing all the darker-skinned Latvians in the ghettos, profiling them and their face smothering unibrows. Cop hatred of brothers and playahs is world wide, and this video proves it. You have to wonder how cops act in the heart of Africa. Damn, they must be mean down there. Anyway, this group of street hardened Latvians proved to me that the message of rap is universal, unless it is sung in a different language. Then I can't tell what the hell they are saying.

I have a bowling meet this weekend. Goddamn, that's going to suck. It's the perfect time for bowling, too, since the Super Bowl is on. The organizers of this tournament decided that nobody who bowls probably likes football, so holding a meet until 5 at night in Green Bay isn't going to affect anybody in any way. Golly, imagine how pissed I'd be if the Packers would have made the Super Bowl? Murders would have been committed, by God. Now we're just going to have sexual assaults, but those are still pretty bad. Damn you, bowling tournament planners; damn you for forcing me to take out my frustration on other people's orifaces. I hope someone has rigged Paul McCartney's pants to fall off during the half time show, revealing very publicly to the world that the Cute Beatle likes to free ball. I will laugh because I will get to miss it thanks to bowling, and then will get to enjoy the fiasco sans-penis in the news when they blur it out. Yes, that is going to rule.
