Back and bloggier than ever
Beware of the following link – it’s way awesome, but will seriously mess with your head. I got the link to this really awesome optical illusion page courtesy of Boing Boing. I think that first one of “Rotating Snakes” is amazing – I was sure it was a Flash animation or something.
As an additional link, here’s the Cool Person Test. I think I got this while surfing commentary on the Avrilution, but there will certainly be more on that later.
The RIAA have proven to not only be ignorant of music itself and completely inept at handling evolving business and technology trends, but now they’ve turned a PR nightmate into a PR disaster (or vice versa – depending on which is worse (they went from bad to worse)). That’s right, they’ve decided to go after a 12-year-old girl for the horrendous crime of not paying millionaires for something they don’t own. Little “Biggie Brianna” thought everything she downloaded was legal, as her mother had paid KaZaA for use of their service. But ignorance is no excuse, and with weary heads the record execs will drag this girl into a courtroom to set an example that such hard criminals must be stopped as early as possible. The poor RIAA has the unenviable task of informing Brianna that she is no better than a crack whore that just shot her pimp in order to steal his money for drugs. When will this younger generation learn that listening to music is against the law, and the RIAA is there for our protection to make sure we don’t hear any talented artists who might help us find joy in life.
Honestly, I would kill for a soundbite of her quote – “I got really scared. My stomach is all turning.” I would post that all over the place and share it like crazy over every P2P network in the world. As my co-worker Jim pointed out, “If only she had used the word ‘tummy’.” That indeed would have been icing on the cake.
Thank you Eagles! I mean, I almost got my hopes up that you would fulfill your fans wishes this year and actually live up to your potential, but instead you’re being shut out in the first game at the new stadium. Well, let me just say a big FUCK YOU to all you players and coaches. You could have won this game, but you just don’t care enough. Just like the NFC Championship Game last year, you collect your paychecks and really don’t give a shit about the fans. Sadly, the only player that seems to really give anything to the game is Duce, the guy we all hate for holding out this preseason. I’m pissed at him for that, but during the playoffs and this first game, he’s the only one that’s truly shown heart in the game.
At this point I’ve truly lost interest in them. I’m not sure if I’ll recover. As far as I’m concerned, this whole season is a joke for the Eagles, and none of them (save Duce) gives a crap as long as they get their paycheck. Thanks Andy Reid and Jim Johnson, for proving that no matter what great coaches you can be, you’ll still screw up the important games because you’re afraid to play the real game. Hey, but what’s it matter to me? I mean, I’m just the guy who threw a tantrum halfway thru the Championship game and refused to leave my bed the rest of the day. It’s not like it affects me. I’m sick of it, and I really don’t see myself watching the Patriots game next week. It would be funny if they embarassed the Eagles next week, maybe shut them out again. They’re obviously not interested in playing any real football.
Fuck the Eagles, I really don’t care anymore… for now…
