Don't Read This If You Are A Sucka

This is the thoughts of my head ringing out the inexplicable auras of the Sky-Lark.

These are the thoughts of my mind wringing out the self-created evils like a dryer.

There is so much shit on TV its ridiculous.

-Today instead of learning new things, I'd rather watch the Ashlee Simpson show.

Do something else; a fucking loser. Not me, you!

Quit using the periods. Quit using the periods.... Who likes to type three periods; you look like an asshole!
This is the stage of insanity-stage-of-sanity-
And now one can express one's feelings with punctuation:

. . .

Thoughts are in the stomach, not head - how else could we be hungry!

???

What's the difference between a back slash and a forward slash?

Hunter Thompson Kills Himself

It's been a year full of bad deaths so far, hasn't it?Christian Thompson/Reuters
RIP 1937-2005

It seems like many journalistic literary writers end up not too happy. At least it adds to the legend. Would there be any irony in Hemingway if never shot himself (or was a drunk, for that matter)? It seemed like Keroauc went downhill from the minute he finished writing an ode to life. All of the Romantic poets had long periods of miserable depression at some point (like Coleridge's lifelong opium addiction). They all did have a prophetic vision; so they had that going for them.

Legends of Minnesota

Soul Asylum: one of the most catchy alternative rockers around.

Take a look at them; they look Minnesotan, right?

Soul Asylum
Soul Asylum are a great, underrated group that shot from nothing to success in the mid-'90s. Their temporary success has led critics to judge them as simple one-album wonders who had a few catchy songs. Well, my retort: who get forget lyrics such as "frustrated incorporated" or "I'm waiting by the phone; waiting for you to call me up and tell me I'm not alone!"

This group proved to be simplistic in technique, the true brilliance of it is it's ability to never leave our heads. Hell, on my good days I'll have Black Gold stuck in my head for 2 straight hours. The words "I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I Want Somebody To Shove! I Need Somebody To Shove!" are great to have on auto-replay inside my head while taking exams.

Sure, these days Soul Asylum are lucky to play a concert at the Taste of Minnesota, but that doesn't exclude their legacy. At one point these guys were going to rule the world. All Hail Soul Asylum.

The Pranksta Revolution

The revolution is here! Prankstas unite!

What is a pranksta?

A person who is willing to make a joke out of the traditional way to do things. Example: Randy Moss. Moss wipes his ass with the idea of being a respected, boring ol' sports figure. Instead, he adds flavor by making every football announcer get riled up over something as stupid as a fake moon. A bonafide pranksta indeed!

All of the prankstas gotta get together and realize that we are nature's true calling!

The pranksta is what the world needs.

RIP, Ossie

The legendary man known as Ossie Davis has died today. A vetern actor and promoter of civil rights, this man's genius will be sorrowly missed. He is well-known for acting in the Spike Lee joints "Do the Right Thing", "Jungle Fever", and "School Daze". This man has also been married to the same woman, Ruby Dee, for over 50 years. Another famous triumph was his speaking of Malcolm X's eulogy at the funurel (which he also speaks at the end of the Spike Lee film). When so many people of his day were hesitant to promote Malcolm X, Ossie did so publicly, along with all the other important civil rights leaders. This man didn't need oscars.

Follow the Wind

If you take the Christian Bible and put it out in the wind and the rain, soon the paper on which the words are printed will disintegrate and the words will be gone. The bible is the wind.

Wine kills.

Native spirituality was suppressed by the U.S. and Canadian governments. Spiritual leaders ran the risk of jail sentences of up to 30 years for simply practicing their rituals. This came to an end in the U.S. in 1978 when the Freedom of Religion Act was passed.

The U.S. had to pass a Freedom of Religion Act? Seperation of Church and State doesn't prevail.

The Native American Church is a continuation of the ancient Peyote Religion which had used a cactus with psychedelic properties called peyote for about 10,000 years. Incorporated in 1918, its original aim was to promote Christian beliefs and values, and to use the peyote sacrament. Although use of peyote is restricted to religious ritual which is protected by the US Constitution, and it is not harmful or habit forming, and has a multi-millennia tradition, there has been considerable opposition from Christian groups, from governments, and from within some tribes.

A nice response: "If your religion isn't like ours, which gives alcohol to minors (alcohol is safe, remember?), then its not a legal religion!"

Let's blame the destruction of football on Ricky Williams! How selfish is he to not want his fans (many of them kids who percieve him as a role model) to know he smoked pot! How terrible it is that this man was smart enough to not destroy his inner self through greed and power! Fuck you Williams, your purpose is only to entertain us!

2005: The Year of the Roosta

Wendy?

-Yes, Lisa.

Is the water warm enough?

-Yes, Lisa.

Shall we begin?

-Yes, Lisa.

And so it begins, 2005, the year of the Roosta, according to the Chinese calander. Here's what the Chinese have to say about the Roosta:

"The sign of the Roosta indicates a person who is hard-working and definite about their decisions. Roostas are not afraid to speak their minds and can therefore sometimes come across as boastful. They make good restaurant owners and world travellers."

Good restaurant owners? I wonder if my man Ali is also a Roosta. I bet he is, always acting bold while chopping that beef and lamb or chicken with his wife beside him. I know what's definiltely not Roosta, and that's that muthafuckin' Noodles & Co. shit. Why don't you warm up some Easy Mac and charge $5 for it? Too late! The yuppies are always one step ahead of you.

I don't wanna get into all that childish naming-name's shit, but I gotta say that Eminem is now a full-time sucka MC (before he was a half-time suckah). You hear that new single he put out? That stupid fool has gone softer than LL Cool J. Think of all the would-be tough rhymes he's sprayed in our face, and realize that it's all added up to some terrible garbage that samples children singing (if its not children its some singer's voice that's sped-up; a trend that's becoming more annoying than Napoleon Dynamite-Mania). Eminem, yo' ass is not a Roosta and will never be. I'm sure his new shitty single will expand his audience which consists of wigger-ass whities with the trash stash wearin' Ecko who forgot to wash their hair for the past 2 years.

Fresh! For Computer Blue, You Suckahs!!!!!!

-End discussion, Lisa.

Yes, Wendy.
