Satanimals Music

The Satanimals are at it again. I recovered this video off my brothers computer. It seems as if its an instructional video for a type of animal wedding ceremony. You can watch it in the player below.

All joking aside. This is actually the music video of an Orange County band called “The Last Dance.” Tonight, I am meeting with the director of a documenatary about this band to discuss editing it. Could be fun, well see.

Bad Jesus Picture of the Week

What is better than wearing a gold “Jesus being executed” around your neck? Being able to stick one on your windows. This weeks Jesus picture comes from about.com. The “Suction Cup Jesus” is registered patent number D0381184. Thank you Nicholas J. Monahan.

At first I wanna laugh and then I think I’m offended.

The Movie Buzz

Bring It On, the greatest story ever told about cheerleading has spawned a new film (I don’t mean Bring It On, Again.)

Stick It!, is a new film from the same writer. It is about gymnastics. Some newly coined terms are likley to follow the movie like, “It’s about to get gymnasty.” I personally, cannot wait for this. There is nothing I love more than “edgy” teens and perpetuated stereotypes. I cant believe there isn’t a Duff in it but I’m sure it will have it’s share of WB TV stars.

In other movie news, BSMITH Designs has a new piece up titled “Bounce”. It is not a teen movie about rival black/white schools competing in the intense sport of four square, though these guys would look great in car wash scene.

Ipod Skins

I’ve always loved chinese landscape painting. Now I can get it for my ipod.

Check it out.

Baby Jesus

Everything about this picture offends me.

I Love Rap Music - DC Talk

Bias is a curious thing. Everyone has some sort of bias. You blame someone else’s bias on their ignorance or stupidity, but your own is of course correct and defendable. Most of the time it simply boils down to a matter of opinion. I like this car or I dont like this car. Sometimes though bias can be based in truth. The reason why I am bringing this up? I have always had a general dislike for rap. There have been times I’ve listened to it. I went through this “hang with the gangstas” stage my freshman year in high school and I listened to some puff daddy songs, so I could keep up. Besides then I pretty much hate it. Most rap artists, in my opinion (bias) have no musical talent, it’s simply recycled beats and melodies. Also the content of most of the music in no way connects to me. I dont wanna slap hoes or get a platinum grill, I’ve never been shot and it’s not all about the booty. Many parts of rap culture have to do with certain racial stereotypes and I’m not going to get into that. Am I saying ALL rap music is no good? No, that would be unfounded bias. Disliking it simply to dislike it. I say, “Mostly All rap is utterly worthless and detrimental to your intelligence.” See thats much more easy to swallow. To try and not only pick on rap, there is defintely more styles of music out there that are based on something negative and therefore the whole culture and music of the genre have no positive contribution. The reason I’ve come to this conclusion is, I heard a rap song. This song being a “classic” in most everyones terms, has to be one of the most offensive things I’ve heard and at the same time, I’m sure many would say its tame. A lot of people I know could probably sing it. Thats why I’m using it as an example to show how stupid this music is. It’s no different then the “lets sit around and cut ourselves”, “lets get high” or “I just wanna kill someone” types of music. I’d love to hear puddle of mud scream a song about something even slightly positive like “I dont hate everyone today, Im just nuetral (obviously I’m not a song writer).” I believe these types of music are simply expressing the darkness in ourselves. I’m not saying pretend it’s not there and hide it. I’m saying examine yourself and show that your more intelligent than a hyena and have some self-control. The animal desire to conquer is in everyone, just becuase you think it or feel it doesn’t mean you need to express it. You need to deal with it and rise above it. Well I’m totally just off on a tangent now.

Read the lyrics to this very popular and well played song and be totally offended. Then your bias against rap music can be confirmed. WARNING! This is pretty explicit.

If you still like rap after this, get a platinum grill.

Happy Easter

Look at the picture. I would run from that. It frightens me. Probably the work of the Satanimals.

Quite Possibly the Most Irrelevant Thing Ever

April 10, 2006 will be a day that goes down in the records. “A dark day” in history according to someone. Others say they feel “lost” and “alone”. One person said “I can’t believe it” and another “Really?”. Uncomfirmed sources report the general consensus is “… (like) I really care.”

Britney Spears has fallen from the Top 100 Sexiest People…In the WORLD.

And just in case you feel like thanking me for sharing this with you.

Your Welcome.

I always try to keep my reader(s) up to date with the important news of the day.

Another Thing To Do, To Distract You From The Things You Need To Do

I was trying. Anyways. They are going to create a Bob Ross video game. Initially, this sounds great, but when the novelty of digitally giving a stream some friends wears off, it’s actually very sad. Now I’m not trying to be hipocritical. I play video games. But they are a substitute for “real” adventure or creativity or for some people a chance to shoot people and not go to jail, I guess. Video games simulate an activity giving immediate payoff without the work. Like most things that sell us short, it isn’t fullfilling enough so an addiciton is created. It takes longer and longer to achieve the high that you first experienced. Until you are no longer even taking pleasure in playing, you just need to get the high (level). Video games are called interactive entertainment, but this is a misnomer. According to dictionary.com, Interacitive is defined as, “acting or capable of acting on each other.” A video game works off supplied a.i. (which is also a misnomer, programmed code has no intelligence. It only reacts, it does not interact.

This game, though a fun thought, steals from kids the ability to create a work and with pride, hang it on a wall. Video game evangelists would say a “digital” painting is cheaper and easier than a real one. They are right. This makes painting cheap and easy.

There are many things that could be described as cheap and easy and most of them can kill you.
