Friday Random Shuffle... On Saturday!

AFI - Girls Not Grey . I guess these guys have a new album coming out. That's cool.

Blind Guardian - Nightfall . Amaaazing song. Amaaazing. This is from an album that tells the story of the Silmarillion, in song.

Juliana Theory - Emotion is Dead Pt. 1 . This is a really good instrumental song by a good (sad) band. I need to listen to their stuff more often.

Hoobastank - The Same Direction . Fun song by a fun band. Where did these guys go?

Arwen - Infinity . Arwen is a pretty bitchin band. Power Metal with really high vocals.

Blind Guardian - Thorn . Another song on the "Nightfall in Middle Earth" album.

Marc Anthony - I Need To Know . Great old song.

Linkin Park - Pts.Of.Athrty . I think reanimation is one of the greatest albums ever. So I like this song.

30 Seconds to Mars - The Kill . Great rock band with Jared Leto and his brother.

The Ataris - Radio 2 . Idealistic song about taking down the radio. Hehe.

My current internet trend

So my current internet trend is fashion. weird, i know. but there are some interesting online-only stores that have cool t-shirts, etc. One great blog that keeps up with these companies is The Cool Hunter. Some of the stores I kind of like are:
Smut Humorous
Number Nine Cool
JR7 Cool
Sold Out Great shoes!
J. Fold I need a wallet!
Lafraise French shit
Durkl Sleuth Paste
Art Force One Shoes

I just think this stuff is really fun to look at.

Uninteresting idiom

"the rich get richer and the poor get poorer"

i hope no one thinks this is a profound statement. the rich are generally rich because they have high paying jobs. therefore, yes, they get richer with those same salaries. the poor get (relatively) poorer because they dont have high paying jobs.

was this confusing for anyone?

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Sam, you're a goddamn idiot. I love you man, I really do, but consult with your roommate just once before you post something completely boneheaded.
We live in America, which is supposed to be the land of opportunity. Everyone has a chance to make it in America, right? Well, not so much. For the past decade or two the discrepency in income and wealth between the upper and lower classes in America has grown ever wider, so it is not just "people with more money get more money because they earn it," it is more like "the rich take an ever increasing percentage of America's total wealth away from the rest of Americans through political manipulations that are unavailable to people of the middle and lower classes." The saying in question is really more of a statement of how economic disparity without redistribution efforts tends to perpetuate and increase, which is not what we, as an ideally classless or middle class society, want to happen. Thus, the statement "the rich get richer while the poor get poorer" is still relevant and meaningful as a sort of call to arms to fight the political disenfranchisement of the middle and lower classes in America.

The Friends Zone

So I think I have some sort of terrible luck or some element in my personality that causes me to start out in the friends zone. I don't even get that window in which you can date someone. It's like the first conversations I ever have with women is about their current boyfriend or boy trouble. That means you're in the friends zone. What a bitch. Maybe its my destiny to never leave the friends zone and to get to know it so well, to understand the circumstances, the signs, etc. that I write a book about it and make millions of dollars. *Sigh* fuck.

Trent: You take yourself out of the game, you start talking about puppy dogs and ice cream and of course it's going to end up on the friendship tip.

Trent: I don't want you to be the guy in the PG-13 movie everyone's *really* hoping makes it happen. I want you to be like the guy in the rated R movie, you know, the guy you're not sure whether or not you like yet. You're not sure where he's coming from. Okay? You're a bad man. You're a bad man, Mikey. You're a bad man, bad man.

Take the man's advice Sam.

Friday Techno Shuffle

Let's do a techno shuffle. No Self-Audit.

1)]} Andy Hunter - Go . Great song from the "The Italian Job". Also featured in one of Mark Strube's trailer's for The Matrix Collection.

2)]} Impulse Factory Meets Three Village & Hardcore Terrorists - Stereo Benefits . Interesting song from the "Masters of Hardcore" collection. Pretty classic house (?) song.

3)]} The Crystal Method - Batman Beyond (Techno Remix) . Short remix from my Crystal Method collection.

4)]} Derrick Thompson - The Perfect Sinners . A track from the only CD i've bought from Amoeba Records. Entertaining.

5)]} Andy Hunter - Wonders of You . 'Nother Andy Hunter.

6)]} Juno Reactor - Samurai . Possibly my favorite techno artist these days. Samurai is one of his better tracks.

7)]} Juno Reactor - Acid Moon . Mmm... Juno Reactor.

8)]} ATC - Around The World (La La La La La) . Very fun song. Pretty popular. I haven't listened to this in a while.

9)]} The Crystal Method - Cherry Twist . *Sigh* I heart Crystal Method.

10)]} Voodoo & Serano - This is Acid (Club Mix) . Amaaazing song. Oh hold on I have to listen this song.

Bye.

Old games aren't as great as you think.

Everyone loves to reminisce (sp) about the amazing games you played as a kid. My favorite game of all time may even be Final Fantasy III for the Super Nintendo. This is the appeal that Nintendo is trying to use for the upcoming Nintendo Revolution. But really, I don't think old games are as great as you think.

Being able to play old games in the now is nothing new. For as long as the Super Nintendo has been out, you can buy a Super Nintendo. But no one really does. Sure, you have a story about your friend in Texas who just bought a Super Nintendo, or your girlfriend's roommate, or maybe even you have one in a closet somewhere. But aside from those scattered examples, people buy new games. People buy new systems.

If the games from yesteryear are so much cooler than the new Xbox 360 games, then why aren't you willing to pay $25 (1/8 the price of an Xbox) for a "superior" system? The games are never more than $20 each; thats half the price of an Xbox game.

Don't get excited over a $100+ gaming system because it can play your old Nintendo games. Get excited about the $25 Super Nintendo at Bookman's down the street.

Hawai'i Two

Here are some more pics with descriptive captions!




Aww, my mom.



COCK on the beach... look at that. Silly Hawai'ians.



The kids are so fucking pissed off at their parents for renting these.



Great shade trees. I think I want one in my back yard.

Hawai'i Pictures

Here are some pics with descriptive captions!




So this is how close together those damn ABC Stores are together.



That's big. I dunno how they got that out of the water... or why they did... or how much it cost.



So... I guess they have a problem with hoodlums coming to the USS Arizona memorial and sitting on this bench...



...I didn't eat there.

Crazy Hawaiians

So Hawaiian (or rather, Hawaiian written with Latin characters) only uses 12 letters. That's an absolute bitch. In direct comparison with English (26 letters), you can make 17576 words with three letters and only 1728 in Hawaiian.

17576:1728

Also, in Hawaiian, no two consonants touch eachother. This limits all three letter word possibilities to:

Aaa aae aah aai aak aal aam aan aao aap aau aaw aea aee aeh aei aek ael aem aen aeo aep aeu aew aha ahe ahi aho ahu aia aie aih aii aik ail aim ain aio aip aiu aiw aka ake aki ako aku ala ale ali alo alu ama ame ami amo amu ana ane ani ano anu aoa aoe aoh aoi aok aol aom aon aoo aop aou aow apa ape api apo apu aua aue auh aui auk aul aum aun auo aup auu auw awa awe awi awo awu * 5 = 475
Haa hae hah hai hak hal ham han hao hap hau haw hea hee heh hei hek hel hem hen heo hep heu hew hia hie hih hii hik hil him hin hio hip hiu hiw hoa hoe hoh hoi hok hol hom hon hoo hop hou how hua hue huh hui huk hul hum hun huo hup huu huw * 7 = 434

475 + 434 = 909 words compared to 17576 in English. Holy shit. So the roads are damn confusing. Its like the french, but worse, I drove on: Waialae, Kilauea (4 vowels in a row), Nu'uanu (1/2 of that word is the letter 'u'), Kalanianaole. You try giving your mom directions to these streets on congested freeways.

Silly Hawaiians.

Blind Guardian's Fly

So Blind Guardian has a new single out, Fly.



The song is pretty amazing. Inspirational and crative. Classic Blind Guardian.

Shuffle 13

Immunna shuffle for 13 songs on my "3²∙4² Newly Added Hits" playlist. So... we'll see if it was designed all right:

1. Survivor - Eye of the Tiger ] Great song. Gets old rather quickly, but great intro and stuff. 8

2. Kim Carnes - Bettie Davis Eyes ] Not amazing actually. Cute song, but I'm over it. 5

3. Red Light Department - Porno Wave ] Hehe. From "The Best of Erotic Club Music" compilation. Enjoyable, but disturbing after a while. 6

4. Thursday - Autobiography of a Nation ] This is on here cuz I was trying to figure out if I like Thursday. I do. And this song itself if pretty good. 7

5. John Mellencamp - Hurts So Good ] Obviously I assimilated a lot of 80s songs recently. This is another good one. 8

6. Thursday - Porcelain ] Sigh, the first duplicate. 7

7. Rihanna - SOS (Rescue Me) ] So Rihanna used the beat (and all music to) Tainted Love. But the song is totally rewritten. One interesting thing is she keeps one line from the original song: "You got me tossing and turning, I can't sleep at night." I love this song though, very fun. Fun idea. 8

8. 50 Cent feat Olivia - Candy Shop ] So this is Magic Stick with new lyrics and a new 7 figure paycheck for 50 Cent. Brilliant. Song's alright. 6

9. Bloc Party - Pioneers ] These guys are pretty fun. They were the underdog sleeper hit at that big show in Cali. Started with a C. Damn it. Whatever. 7

10. Steve Miller Band - Abracadabra ] 80's. Again. Not as good as Eye of the Tiger. 6

11. Jeunes Filles Perverses - Jeunes Filles Perverses ] Mmmm... Porno in a techno song. It's fun. 6

12. The Game feat 50 Cent - How We Do ] Catchy fun beat. Hard to dance to. 7

13. Frankie J. feat Baby Bash - Obsession (No Es Amor) ] Another top 40 I downloaded. I gotta work on this list. Hmm... 5

Average is... 6.6 Bleh. I'll work on how this list is defined.
