WTF David Blaine?!
David Blaine pissed me off last night...that asshole was hanging upside in central park for 3 fuckin days...and was advertising a bullet catch....and a "dive of death"...and after all that waiting (not to mention suffering this his seemingly endless clips of "amazing" simpletons with his card tricks)...the bullet catch turned out to be some cheesy ass stunt of him holding a lil cup in his mouth...and having some marksmen shoot a rifle right at it....pffft....the aim of the shooter is far more impressive than his pendejo ass standing there to catch it....anyone can pay a crackhead 20bucks to stand there and do what he did...pffft...and as for the dive of death...everyone was speculating on whether or not he'd be able to make the jump...(which is about 4 stories) after being upside down for 3 days with no sleep or food...which is an impressive stunt but ppl came to see the fuckin dive....and this nigga jumps...and he had fuckin jumper cables...so he only fell a few feet...with a big cheesy smile as if to say "gotcha!" as some "unknown" thing lifted him higher up into the air where he "disappeared".....no one even cheered....i sat there looking like ---> o_O
I was FAR more impressed with Mind Freak (on A & E)....Criss Angel had a stunt where he was going to give himself exactly 13 seconds to uncuff himself from the streering wheel of a car (with no breaks) and jumping out of it while it sped off a cliff....He had his celebrity friend from Godsmack (i think his name was Scully or something...idk..) and Kurt Angle (oplymic gold medalist/wrestler) watching...When he was practicing, it seemed to be ok...he managed to uncuff himself in 7 seconds..so that should be more than enough time for him to get out....BUUUUUT...when he actually did the stunt...(he had about 100 people watching on the other sides of the cliff...not to mention cameras from almost ever conceivable angle taping in one continuous shot)...i guess something seemed to go wrong and the car went over the cliff and exploded at the bottom...(apparently, with him still in it)...im telling you everyone was in shock...they immediately cleared everyone out and sent firemen down there to put out the car....Scully was just bugging out...Kurt Angle was cursing like crazy and even started to cry...then they started interviewing fans to see their reaction as the credits started to roll....If i know Criss, im pretty sure this is all a part of his stunt..and he just wants to fuck with everyone and keep all of us guessing...
Imma look into what actually happened :-P
But then again...you know stunts do go wrong sometimes....a few weeks back he tried a stunt where he'd try to catch a nail shot from a nail gun...the idea was that it would be shot at a glass window i guess (him standing on the other side at a short distance) and the impact would cause the nail to kinda angle a lil upwards in its trajectory...unexpectedly, the glass shattered when the nail went through, and it sent pieces of it flying at Criss' face and it fucked up his timing...the nail ended up going right through his hand....hahah you shoulda seen dude jumping around cursing....classic...
Peace

Get Your Mind Blown!
I've been meaning to mention this book ever since my friend suggested I read it (Thanks Ana!).
It's gooooooooooood...The title should be self-explanatory...Basically, it's a collection of articles from different authors that gives you some insight on various topics. I'm telling you, this book will blow your mind :-) It makes the phrase, "You think you know...but you have no idea...", an understatement.
Check it out!
It's only about 10 bucks at Barnes & Nobles by the way...
Peace

Out With Old, In With New...
Much to my disappointment and heart ache, my phone finally broke...Don't get me wrong...I already knew it was going to happen..but i had planned on it lasting a couple of weeks at least so that I could fulfill my plan on saving some money on the side to get a new one for when it would finally give up on me...lol
I guess my phone had other plans...
Its not too clear i guess...but if u see on the left side (that lil red...or orange thing) its broken there and was getting ready to snap off completely on me..hahah..fortunately, i was able to get out a text to everyone telling em not to call or text me....of course some didnt listen...but *shrug*
Anyway, this forced my hand and I, reluctantly, bought a new phone ahead of schedule...the LG Shine (black)....whee.
Just look at that bad bitch....OoOOw...:-P Let's see how long this one will last me...I've been having such bad luck with technology lately...o_O

Cooper 35
So last Thursday (9/18), my co-workers and I went to an asian restaurant called "Cooper 35" to celebrate one of their b-day's (which was the next day). It's a decent looking place...music is a lil gay...and I was a lil pissed that everyone seemed to get their food fast, while mine took FOREVER to get....check out the pics below...
Grey Goose w/Cranberry..oh yea...CHECK OUT THE BIG ASS STRAWS THEY GAVE US!
The Bday girl's meal...
I think that was fried calamari...
and it took forever for me to get THAT? which didnt even taste good...
So yeeeah...there you have it...except for the whole food thing..it was an overall decent night. Got a lil tipsy (that's what i get for drinking without eating lunch yet again..s.m.h) and then we even got into a "picture war"...If you want to see those, just check out my myspace...

Long Distance Relationships..
Check out a convo I just had with a friend of mine...should be self explanatory...
[15:10] HER!: yo wat do u think about long distance relationships
[15:10] ME!!!: a waste of time
[15:10] ME!!!: i would never suggest anyone gettin into it
[15:10] ME!!!: it just doesnt work
[15:10] ME!!!: n its really unfair to both sides
[15:11] HER!: now what if u were together for a while then one had to move away for various reasons and the other planned on joining them later
[15:11] ME!!!: well
[15:12] ME!!!: 1...it depends if the person is even serious about joining em later...which usually turns out to be bs...
[15:12] ME!!!: and 2...imma just say this for me personally...if im with someone...n they move away...im not giving up the life i have here just to go with them
[15:12] ME!!!: it just doesnt work that way
[15:12] ME!!!: i can understand if we're already married and we "together" make the decision to pack up everything n move
[15:13] ME!!!: but i dont follow anyone
[15:13] ME!!!: id rather just end it...n keep living my life...n figure, if its meant to be (as some people say) we'll find our way back to eachother
[15:13] HER!: ok
[15:13] ME!!!: it doesn thave to end on bad terms or anything
[15:13] ME!!!: but it saves the trouble of silly ass arguements and whatnot
[15:13] HER!: but what if u plan on getting married and all that i mean u really love this person
[15:13] ME!!!: like i said
[15:14] ME!!!: it just doesnt work that way lol
[15:14] ME!!!: if i "love" someone
[15:14] ME!!!: and i know that their life is taking them elsewhere
[15:14] ME!!!: a place that i cant or simply wont chose to follow
[15:14] ME!!!: id let them go
[15:14] HER!: yeah but its not their choice to move its the only thing they can do
[15:14] ME!!!: i wouldnt follow them cause i cant just give up my life
[15:14] ME!!!: i didnt say it was their choice..im just saying
[15:15] ME!!!: that life sometimes leads you on a path away from the person u love
[15:15] ME!!!: and they cant always follow
[15:15] ME!!!: and it just causes too many needless issues to try to force it
[15:15] ME!!!: when you could just agree to live your lives then somehow find your way back
[15:15] HER!: ok...i was j/w
[15:15] ME!!!: i know
[15:15] ME!!!: its liek my homegirl....she's MADLY in love with this guy in AZ
[15:15] ME!!!: but he has his professional life there
[15:15] ME!!!: and she has hers here
[15:16] ME!!!: despite how much they love and care for eachother neither of em would just pack up and move just for the other one
[15:16] ME!!!: they're mature enough to understand that the other has their own life to live
[15:16] HER!: i guess ppl r diff
[15:16] ME!!!: yeah and smarter i guess hahah
[15:16] ME!!!: and they're patient enough to know that if it really is meant for them to be
[15:16] ME!!!: life will bring em together eventually
[15:17] ME!!!: most people are too stubborn to get this...but usually..when u try to force something it ends up blowing up in ya face
[15:17] ME!!!: *shrug* just how life is
[15:17] ME!!!: its unfair sometimes
[15:17] HER!: well i mean its not that its being forced i guess for some ppl its just sumthin that sum folk choose to do n sumtimes it does work
[15:18] ME!!!: lol
[15:18] ME!!!: hardly
[15:18] ME!!!: im a man of statistics
[15:18] HER!: yeah so am i but idk folk b surprisin me
[15:18] ME!!!: i suppose
[15:19] HER!: i say it b/c i used to say it never works out but ive met a few couples in which it has worked out
[15:20] ME!!!: welp
[15:20] ME!!!: i guess
[15:20] ME!!!: and it IS rare
[15:20] ME!!!: but like u said
[15:20] ME!!!: ppl are diff.
[15:20] ME!!!: so u cant really go by based on what worked for other people
[15:20] ME!!!: like i see motha fuckas dunking a basketball
[15:20] ME!!!: lol
[15:20] ME!!!: doesnt mean i'll do it if i jump the same way they do
[15:20] ME!!!: haha
[15:21] ME!!!: or or..."well...so n so smoked a blunt and nothing happened to him." pfft lolol
[15:21] ME!!!: that theory is severely flawed
[15:21] ME!!!: "if they can do it, i can" pffft
[15:21] HER!: k
[15:21] ME!!!: thats overly optimistic delusion
[15:21] ME!!!: lmfao
[15:23] ME!!!: i love how i come up with these phrases..."overly optimistic delusion" lmfao
[15:23] HER!: yeah...cuz ive had a few ppl tell me so far that it doesnt work...n they say this based on their past experiences but they say it with such a convinction that its as if since it didnt work for me its not going to work for anyone
[15:24] ME!!!: well
[15:25] ME!!!: i simply say it because if u take a look at the situation from a logical point of view
[15:25] ME!!!: not to mention the amount of relationships that seemed "perfect" at first but ultimately failed BECAUSE they tried to stay together after someone moved away
[15:25] ME!!!: aaaand just the overall knowledge of typical human nature
[15:25] HER!: no of course but then again when has the emotion of "love" been considered logical
[15:25] ME!!!: long distance relationships werent meant to work out
[15:25] ME!!!: its not really a "relationship"
[15:25] ME!!!: its just the illusion of one
[15:26] ME!!!: n i think its unfair to the one who feels the most in the relationship typically the female
[15:26] ME!!!: cause liek damn...if im together with someone...and i move away i wouldnt want/expect them to still want to be with me
[15:26] ME!!!: "exclusively"
[15:26] HER!: idk the couples ive met were together for the longest then someone had to move they did the long distance thing the other eventually moved or both met at a point and there you go
[15:26] ME!!!: its unfair to her
[15:26] ME!!!: i know females have needs
[15:26] ME!!!: n its not on a sexual thing
[15:26] ME!!!: but u know
[15:26] HER!: yeah
[15:27] ME!!!: they need to feel that warmth
[15:27] ME!!!: of someone holding them
[15:27] ME!!!: n just physically being there for em
[15:27] ME!!!: on all levels
[15:27] ME!!!: n i wouldnt want to hold them back from potentially finding someone who might even be better for them than i am
[15:27] ME!!!: just because i selfishly want to hold on to her from god knows how many miles away
[15:27] ME!!!: its just ridiculous
[15:28] HER!: yeah but some ppl dont think like that
[15:28] ME!!!: well thats because some people are overly delusional, blinded by their own selfish nature to "not want to let go" lol
[15:29] ME!!!: i suppose i come off as heartless and im sure i talk like its easy to let go of someone you love
[15:29] ME!!!: believe me i get that
[15:29] ME!!!: n i hope to never have to go through that cause i know i'll be kicking myself in the ass
[15:29] ME!!!: and i know i wouldnt WANT to let her go
[15:29] ME!!!: but ultimately, i would
[15:29] ME!!!: cause its just not fair
[15:29] ME!!!: to either of us
[15:36] ME!!!: so yea. there u have it
[15:37] ME!!!: sorry if thats prolly not the answer u were looking for. but u can bet its the most honest one
[15:10] HER!: yo wat do u think about long distance relationships
[15:10] ME!!!: a waste of time

Just a taste...
Just a taste...
People Watching On The Train...
So yesterday, I didnt have my book to read while on the train ride home so I had to resort to watching my fellow commuters as entertainment...You can always find SOMETHING to look at when you're on the train...a female and her mom walked into the train and idk why but they drew my attention so i just leaned back and kept looking at them...
this is what i wrote to myself on my phone (since i didnt have a pen n paper..lol):
"Some black lady (probably mid to late 20s) was here with her mom...Her mom sat down and after a few moments poked at the opening of her daughter's bag when her daughter goes, "It's closed" and proceeds to show her how everything in her bag is zipped up. The mom just smiles as if to say "you know me so well". Daughter jus closes her eyes and goes back into her own world. mother does the same. I could tell by how tight her eye lids were shut, she was probably mildly annoyed...I wonder if she has to deal with her mom's worrisome and controlling-ish attitude often. I kept wondering how she must've been when she was little. Mom was probably always on her case...over protective about the littlest details of her life. I'm sure this must've put a strain on her personal life... I bet she constantly reminded her to be "careful" seeing as "guys only have one thing in mind"...I doubt she'll ever marry...or maybe she would if only just to finally escape her mom o_O...Then strangely enough, I thought about my ex...I imagine her and her mom must've had and probably still do have moments just like this on occassion..."
See how my mind wanders?! lol
Peace

Probe the Secrets of the Universe
That's right! Scientists are still at it! In yet another attempt at discovering more "secrets" of the Universe, scientists in the world famous organization known as "CERN" have completed the largest atom smasher - Large Hadron Collider (LHC). It officially came online today and everyone was both excited and terrified. There had been a lot of speculation about whether or not this machine could potentially destroy the earth. Many skeptics said that it would create many mini black holes that would end up ripping the earth apart. lol...People like Stephan Hawking, however, say that its highly unlikely that it'll have some catastrophic result. According to him and others, even it it were to create a black hole, it would be far too small and would evaporate almost instantly. So no worries!
Basically, this machine is suppose to accelerate sub-atomic particles to almost the speed of light before smashing them in each other. The results should help solve questions like whether or not the "Higgs Boson" a.k.a "God Particle" really exists...an explanation for "dark matter" and "dark energy", which is said to make up 96% of the cosmos, and also whether or not other dimensions exist parallel to ours. The collisions should bring about temperature about 100,000 times hotter than the sun...which is "fleetingly" a replica of conditions spit seconds after the "Big Bang".
Yes...I am in total geek mode right now...The had this baby charging up for a few months now and they finally turned it one. Scientists were overjoyed that it passed its first key tests. The first beams were circulated through the collider on today. But, the first high-energy collisions are planned to take place after the LHC is officially unveiled on October 21, 2008. But the REAL fun will begin about a year from now, when they say it'll be operating at full power. Can't wait!

How They Fucked It Up...
If you take a good look at our history and how things are in the world today, I think you'd agree that most of the "bad" things that happen in the world, started off as a good idea. It's true! It really is! Think about it...How many times have you done something, only to have it blow up in your face? This is no different. Examples:
Communism...This was actually a really good idea introduced by Karl Marx, who in 1848 wrote "The Communist Manifesto". Basically, it went against Capitalism and proposed that the government should take control over businesses. This would then help "the little guy" because CLEARLY business owners were truly being careless and inconsiderate when it came to the treatment of their workers. In accepting Communism (which is socioeconomic structure, NOT a form of government), it would eliminate "classes" and create true equality. BUT, of course, this good idea HAD to be messed up, when a few countries took this idea and expanded on it and turned it into a form of government rule. Fascist governments, like Russia and China, amongst others, took the idea way too far and tried to impose government control over EVERY aspect of their people's lives and claiming that it all falls under the umbrella of Communism. This gave Communism a REALLY bad name as it now opposed Democracy. Communism had such a bad name that it even led to a modern day political "witch hunt", spear-headed by Senator Joseph McCarthy, where you could easily call your local congressman or government authority and say "i think so and so is a communist!" and they'd come to take them off to god knows where....Sad...and it started off as such a good idea!
And what about Capitalism? Wasn't this a good idea? The owners of companies were in charge of how the business was run. Freedom. Isn't that what a democratic nation is all about? Besides, its your business. You're the one at risk, should it fail, right? So, shouldn't you be in complete control? Hell, it even has your name on it! Well yes, for the sake "freedom", it really was a good idea. Why should you be held back from running your business the way you see fit? Why should anyone tell you who you can and cannot trade with? It's your business! Well, the problem with this is (and i DARE anyone to disagree), greed almost certainly overtakes the owners of these businesses. The more they have, the more they want and there's very little standing in their way to keep them from getting it. There's no one to tell them "no, you can't just pick up and move your company overseas where labor is cheaper, while leaving many of your fellow countrymen jobless." There's no one to stifle this ever-growing trend of "out-sourcing", to countries like India who have people that work on a much stricter schedule than us and for a cheaper cost. Meanwhile, perfectly well trained and able people in this country (as well as others i imagine who do this very same thing) left with degrees they can't use, and with jobs that hardly pay them for what they're truly worth, nor enough to REALLY "get by". But hey, it started out as a good idea right?
Now, if I haven't lost you completely just yet, let me hit you with a more urban example....Gangs. Even that was a GREAT idea at first. Most gangs (which are usually divided based on ethnicity, like the Latin Kings) started out as just a group of men (women did their parts too) who banded together in an effort to protect each other and those of their community from violence and often oppression from other groups. Often, they would even do things like collect money in order to assist a fellow member of the community if they were experiencing financial issues. The main purpose of this was unity, togetherness; never dominance and power. BUT, as time past and their numbers grew, later generations soon forgot the real reason these gangs first were created. Their purpose became corrupted and, like most underground organizations, their inevitable decent into crime finally came. And so, they became what you know them to be now. Good idea, eh?
And these are just but a few out of countless other "good ideas" turned bad. So, my friends, next time you try coming up with a good idea, try thinking of all the possible ways it can fuck up first.

My Heart
I have a moon’s heart
inconstant
fickle
ever changing as it phases from new to full
occasionally, it even blocks my sun’s mind
and the light of wisdom from which it shines
this is when my heart appears black
i like to think that this is its true face

Interesting Conversation
Welp...It was bound to happen wasn't it? We live in a world of bloggers now. So, it shouldn't much of a surprise that a mindless ranter, such as myself would find his way over here. I'll have to leave a formal introduction for a later date, though. I think it'd be much more "fun" if i just hit you with an interesting conversation i had today my friend Ana. We were talking about wanting to find a new book to read..So, she mentioned a book that her friend has her reading now...
Ana : i need to find my book
Ana : justin has me reading Everything You Know Is Wrong
Ana : so i put my other book down
ME : what, it basically contradicts everything that people generally accept as fact? is that it?
ME : wat topics does it touch?
ME : more than just politics i hope...
Ana : just about everything
Ana : i mean, you have to have an open mind for this book
ME : im curious
Ana : cus if you believe everything you hear then you're gonna hate it
ME : lol well clearly its perfect me lmao
Ana : like i honestly can say i don't believe everything they taught me in school
Ana : i contradicted a lot of it
Ana : i did and still do my own research on everything i learn
ME : well thats because "truth" and "fact" and "right" isnt always "correct" ...all that is...is simply what is widely accepted...what you were raised thinking...so..yeeeah...thats why i have such a big beef with organized religion and whatnot...but i'll spare u that...same thing with history too lol...anyway...who's the author of that book...i'lll pick that one up at barnes n noble
Ana : but i mean the book is a collection of nonconformist articles but it kinda attempts to tie them all together under the theme of media manipulation and conspiracies made by corporate and whatever
Ana : i was reading an article called "The Whole Truth About Domestic Violence"
Ana : it proves more men are abused than women.
Ana : or "Some Lessons from the Underground History of American Education" which exposes the real ideology of public schools. like conformity and indoctrination instead of critical thinking
Ana : lol i wrote a review about this years ago lol.
ME : lmao...im loving it
Ana : i'm serious. me and my brother
ME : and i bet each one of these articles ppl tried to hush up...but...there's that freedome of speech and press...love it
Ana : oh please. that's garbage
ME : meaning?
Ana : freedom of speech?
Ana : please.
ME : lol..i know what u said...i just meant for u to elaborate more on it...i wanna see where you take it
Ana : everyone talks so much about they have the freedom of speech and yeah, in a sense that's true but at the same time it's not. because if that were true ppl wouldn't be trying so hard to get books banned because of what someone said. over the years its like the years, the Supreme Court has put certain limitations on freedom of speech, mostly pertaining to issues where the speech endangers someone else...
ME : hmm...i guess you support the theory that you're basically free to say watever you want within the "accepted guidelines" lmao
ME : well thats because...its one thing to be free to say wat you want...but u cannot be reckless with it
Ana : freedom is a fuckin illusion that seems to be thrown around as a way to excite ppl
Ana : i understand that
ME : its almost like screaming "fire" in a friggin theater
ME : of course they DO take it too far with the limitation in some cases....especially when someone says something that conflicts with very sensitive conservative views and whatnot...i get that
ME : but yea
Ana : i mean, you CANNOT allow certain "free speech" to advance for one peoples, while decrying the "free speech" that may be offensive. the better route would be to prove those outrageous comments to be folly. most people who make outrageous comments laced in racism, sexism, ageism, classism etc.,
Ana : do so with such ineloquence that anyone taking them seriously seems to be no intellectual threat.
Ana : instead, this nation has used the Supreme Court in efforts to have one side granted more free speech(and many other constitutional grants)than those they may feel can't be proven wrong. OR, maybe they CAN, but it's too much like work! It's like being a smart-ass. talk shit to the wrong guy, and he'll beat your ass! so, you recourse by getting your big brother to beat THEIR ass. doesn't make what YOU did right, and goes further to justify YOUR ass-whooping to begin with. in MY eyes at least!
Ana : lol
ME : nah you're absolutely right
ME : but do you understand the reason for why they do this right?
Ana : i know why
Ana : i want you to tell me though
ME : well?
Ana : see where your head is
ME : lmao
ME : i hope its not in my ass
Ana : shut up and explain
ME : but the reason i can think of (im giving them the benefit of the doubt mind you) is simply to avoid the whole going back and forth in arguing and debating on subjects. if you allow too many people to introduce controversial ideas to the public. it would divide a nation. and the last thing they would want is to have the nation split in two over conflicting ideas.
ME : they learned their lesson in the civil war
ME : and although we would like to think that we've grown more "mature" since then. its really not true
ME : and ultimately thats where this country would go....
ME : i mean thats what i think...if i were in power, that would probably be my reason for taking that course of action
ME : i think you would agree that most people cant handle HEATED debates
ME : so..yeah..
Ana : i understand completely
ME : so what were you going to say?
Ana : when?
ME : but do you understand the reason for why they do this right?
Ana : i know why
Ana : i want you to tell me though
ME : i thought u were going to say what you thought their reasons were
Ana : oh no boo. we're on the same page with that statement
ME : ohhh ok
ME : i know most people probably think that its the government's "diaoblical scheme" to belittle people and whatnot...n it sure as hell seems that way at times
it was interesting having this kind of conversation with her...i think it was our first time talking like this...it was funny because part of me felt like i was being tested by her or something...lol its nice when you find someone that keeps you on your toes though :-P
Peace n luv
