PM- Geek humor! I dug up this comic going through my old website
today, NeoPhreak wrote it for Digital Anarchy a long time ago, and it
stars our alter-egos... thought I'd post it.
Also, on a minor sidenote, I have changed my e-mail address to digitalanarchist@linuxmail.org, so I will no longer be receiving mail at the hotmail address. I have a math project to do, so that's all for now.
4/5/02 11:45 PM- This update brought to you by Bawls soda. Caffeine being the great motivation-inducer when it comes to geeky tasks, my inability to sleep coupled with my inability to walk after paintballing has brought a whole new slew of pictures today. I added a 'friends' page to the pictures section, with a few pics from the anti-snowcoming party and our "math project" meetings. Prodigy continues the psuedo-electronic trend in Artists of the Moment. If you have any pics to submit, please send them in, as I'd love to add more of my friends to the 'friends' page.
4/3/02 10:43 PM- Jimminy Gillickers Radioactive Man!! Two updates in one day! Today I added another English assignment to the page, this time to the essays section. A personal symbol essay, we were told to write about something important to us. I see the essay as a tribute to literature more than anything else, and if you'd like something a bit lighter than my philosophical stuff, you will enjoy it. Today I saw Death to Smoochy with some friends of mine from school. Impromptu movie review: 7.5/10. The movie has a great premise and a really off-kilter subject- corruption in the children's TV industry, but deep down it's just a hilarious comedy with all the usual elements: gangsters, a loveable protagonist victim, and so on. There are some really funny parts and the odd subject matter makes it worth seeing. This coming Wednesday I will be participating in a protest at my school against the use of offensive slang that demeans and defames Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender people. For the entire day I, and everyone else involved in the protest, will not be speaking-- a silence that is meant to reflect the silence forced on Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender youth that are forced to hear this demeaning and prejudiced slang used every day with such negative connotations. The protest is nation-wide and if you'd like to participate, please feel free to ask me about it. If you'd like more information or just want to see what it's all about, check out www.dayofsilence.org. Thanks.
****4/3/02 3:06 PM- Happy April, Windows XP. My sincerest apologies for yet ANOTHER gap in my updates, but last week Windows XP Professional decided to crap out on me after about a week of use, and I was unable to access Dreamweaver or the "interweb" to update the site. This cut trashy rap week off prematurely, but I promise I'll pick it back up again-- next week at the soonest. If you haven't heard of Liquid Tension Experiment, the current artist of the moment, I suggest you download 'Biaxident', it's an amazing song. As you well know, I always have something ambitious planned that's "just around the corner" for the site. I'm still awaiting NeoPhreak's contribution to the page, and I'm planning on uploading a whole slew of new pictures monday (I left them at Steph's, and she's gone 'til then). I'm probably going to revamp the front page a bit, and also add a paintball page when I get some pics to go with it.
****3/27/02 7:24 PM- Ooohhh, Nooooo, that's how ruff rydaz roll!! DMX is half ganster-rapper, half trashy ho-rapper. He raps a good deal about gangs and cappin' niggas, but not all his music focuses on that theme. DMX has some pretty entertaining and fun stuff, such as the 'Ruff Ryder's Anthem' and 'Y'all Gonna Make me Lose my Mind' (which is coincidentally pumping as Iwrite this update). He's even gone as far and as daring to cover 'No Sunshine', rapping it up enough to make it his own and put it on a big-name movie soundtrack.
Today's rap lyrics: "I resort to violence, my niggaz move in silence, like you don't know what our style is, New York niggaz the wildest." *Ruff Ryder's Anthem
"Stop acting like a baby. Mind your buisness lady! Nosy people get it too, when you see me spit at you, you know I'm tryin' ta get rid of you. Ya I know it's pitiful" *Ruff Ryder's Anthem
3/25/02 7:24 PM- Trashy Rap Week. Upon return from my short sabbatical, I'm proud to announce an epic event that will surely become the #1 event on your calendar every March: Trashy Rap Week on The Thought Emporium! That's right, I, you're lovely webmaster, being the hardcore fellow that I am, decided to pay a small and subtle tribute to the music that sucks with such amazing and lovable style, most of us actually listen to it. When it comes down to music that's in-your-face, self-glorifying, and demeaning to- well- almost everybody, you really can't beat the trashy rap genre for downright fun. Whether it be to practice your hardcore C-Walking skillz, learn to twirl a pimp cane with the best, or just to get some tips on pimpin' the ladiez (where do you think I get my skills?), trashy rap has you covered. Think you're too white for rap? Vanilla Ice and Eminem might have something to say about that! As a matter of fact, it might sound something like this: "To the extreme, I rock the mike like a vandal" or perhaps: "Slice like a ninja, cut like a razor blade. So fast, the DJ's say damn, if rhyme was a drug, I'd sell it by the gram." Ah, Vanilla Ice, what unimpeded rhythms and unsurpassable quality. In honor of music that's downright unintelligent and fun, the only music that can get my REAL money's worth out of my 200-watt sub, I give you Trashy Rap Week. And so, for the rest of the week, expect a new artist of the moment every day, along with some tasty rap lyrics and song titles. Oh yeah, and maybe I'll sneak some real content in there too. Added a quote archive and cleaned up the books & propaganda page a bit. Depends on how tied up I am.
My hardcore rapper friends, Reginald Eugene Crocker III and Allen Brewer. At least Allen swears he's black...
Today's Rap Lyrics: "I'm professin' it like DJ Cool, pullin' on my coat tails. And why you think you take a ho to a ho-tel? Ho-tel e'rbody, even the mayor! Reach up in the sky for the ho-zone layer!" *You's a Ho
"Man, after hittin' with a coke and a smile, I just pick up the motherf*cking phone and dial. I got my condoms in a big-*ss sack, slangin' this dick like a new jack (biatch!)." *Area Codes
"How you gonna act like my rims ain't clean? How you gonna act like my neck don't bling? Haters get sprayed like afro-sheen." *Saturdays
