I Will Eat You Alive   Monday 3.31.03 @ 3:37PM by Aaron |
The world is crumbling around my flip-flops but my soul is at peace because the new Radiohead album is available for piration. Hail to the Thief, ahh thank Christ someone other than Bono, Bianca what's her face and the Dixie Chicks is being political. Thom's always the one to tell the truth after some supposed corporate/state-related "compromise" that really means nothing. Bono's all "Yess a big achievement my pale Irish ass is tingly," while Thom just calls it a fucking copout. Role-model for non-sellouts. Like Ralph Nader.

Last weekend was fantastic, for deliciously incriminating reasons. Friday we got blipsy around here and had hilarious conversations. Apparently last week was rough for everybody so it was chillax time. On Saturday Salad and Hotsuka had birthday parties. Most fun I've had since Twot's big party. Speaking of which... do it Twot. Show em who's boss. Hehe..
Fucking Americans.
It just keeps getting better and better doesn't it? The war's not about oil, oh no, but Halliburton got a contract to "clean and repair" oil derricks after the war. A contract for an undisclosed number of millions of dollars. The whole war is nothing more than a shameful, deplorable kickback to Bush's campaign contributors and his cabinet's portfolios. Don't tell me he has some altruistic drive to rid the Iraqi people of their oppressive dictator. If that were his inclination, as I've said before, he'd have invaded a dozen other countries before Iraq. It's so refreshing to see hypocrisy so open and unmasked in our leaders, in defiance of the Clinton Doctrine, where you just say you're going to do everything you're not.
I had the misfortune of discovering francestinks.com, which to me epitomizes the stupidity of not only Americans, but the fucking Europeans who have the misconception of being in the "silent majority." The editorial linked up there is my email to the webmasters of Francestink.com and Germanystinks.com. I kept it reasonably short because I wrote it right after getting out of the shower, and frankly, I wanted to get dressed. Okay, now that I look at it it's not that short. Anyway...
I'll be doing more things on these subjects because my newspost rants aren't as coherent as one would prefer. I don't have a whole lot going on this week so you never know, maybe I'll get it done. Oh yeah, and I found somebody to host my MP3 of the week again, so peep that shit.
In case of nuclear explosion, duck and cover.

Tomahawk In Yo Eye!   Thursday 3.20.03 @ 9:15PM by Aaron |
I forgot to post some quotes. I haven't posted any in awhile so I was like, yeah. Quotes.
Update:
Quotes - Eat 'em up
Mmm.. ground war. I've heard people actually say on the radio that those who speak out against the government shoudl be arrested. Good one, Benito! People like Sean Hannity say things like this. That's why I want to physically destroy FOX. Our boy Sean calls anything resembling opposition to the Republican agenda a "disgrace" and has brilliant ideas like abandoning S Korea for protesting our behavior. You'd think they'd explain the first amendment in law school or Bama or wherever the fuck this schmuck was educated. Whoo...
I wonder how many Iraqis are dead.
And lay the fuck off of France! Why do they suddenly have this reputation as a country who surrenders every time someone threatens them? I can only assume people are referring to WW2 when they poke fun, and if these coke-sipping, SUV flossin, A&F wearing douche bags knew anything at all about history, they'd know that the Blitzkrieg was carried out by the most modern army in the world, it took eight weeks, and 800,000 French were killed. But according to biology majors from Kingwood, they just threw up their hands. Get a fucking grip. Freedom fries... brilliant response. I think they've done the right thing so far in trying as hard as they can to prevent war. They're also trying to protect their economic interests, and as Americans we should fucking identify! Allies don't have to agree with everything you say, especially if you say stupid things.
A basic problem I've seen is that the unintelligent right-wingers among us reduce situations to laughable simplicity. They'll see a poor person and say, "He's poor because he's lazy." A smart person would see this poor person and say, "He's poor because of social conditions, outrageous higher education costs, a pathetic primary education system.." etc. Lazy is only one factor, if one at all. Similarly, the morons will see the current situation and say "Saddam is bad, we should invade"; the smart person says no we should have international support even if we can do this alone, we should make sure he actually has the things we claim he does, etc. God. Why is this only obvious to 50% of the fucking population??

Drink One For Patty's & The War   Wednesday 3.19.03 @ 5:40PM by Aaron |
I was like WHOA it's been three weeks I should update. Many things have transpired, including the muddy bloody good time at UNC Wilmington last weekend and spring break. Spring break was nice and slow, just like... eating. I spent a few days in Hachie and it was surprisingly enjoyable. I went to Deep Ellum on Wednesday and got to see Nikki who I hadn't seen since last year's SXSW, which is a goddamn shame. There are what, three people in the greater Dallas area that I want to stay in touch with? Might as well actually stay in touch with them... Yes.. Instead of uploading all the NC pics I'll just provide a link in the form of a LINK. You have to register but it takes two seconds. Password is "price".
I really don't have the inclination nor short to mid-range memory capacity to recount the events of the past few weeks, so I'll summarize the most recent. We flew out to UNC Wilmington last Friday and played like fucking ASS on Saturday, got summarily trashed that night in our hotel, almost got kicked out, called random and non-random girls and ex-girlfriends (much as I have traditionally opposed this), and passed out at about 1am. Sunday the weather was no longer 45 and rainy but 65 and cloudless, and as an added bonus they stuck us on the muddiest fucking field you will ever see. Our pristine white jerseys were turned black and it was among the most memorable ultimate moments yet. After we lost our third game (due to a field switch, in my opinion) we hit the beach and cleaned off in the holy shit freezing Atlantic, body-surfed, ran around. Then we hit Chili's and drove the two hours to Raleigh-Durham, where we spent the next 8 hours in the terminal putting FAG tags on everything, had a syrup chugging contest (yeah, Drew), playing urban, and sleeping a bit. Then we came home :(. But the weather in Austin > the weather in Detroit, where we had a layover. Fucking Detroit.
Petty bullshit aside, the world is ending. Thanks, Dubya. Right-wingers are dismissing this as just your everyday invasion, like it's not flying in the face of 100 years of foreign policy and common goddamn sense. "Conspiracy" people sound much more like intelligent pundits (oxymoron?) at times like this. There's no precedent nor justification, we all know it, but the west is full of ignorant, short-sighted, simple-minded cro-magnons who think Saddam is a legitimate world and regional threat. Morons. Don't even get me started on the domestic media's spin on this. Yawn... It's unbelievable the arguments people make to justify this war. I feel like I'm living in a cheesy adaptation of 1984, poorly written and conceived, even worse actors. FOX news must die.
I'm off to Mozart's with April now. Deuce.
