For serious. Great show.

Highlander is one of the greatest stories ever told, period! i don't understand all this hatred from the Bleeders, i mean, is it the monthly loss of blood that makes you unable to comprehend the genius behind this story? and calliander, well you've always been an honorary bleeder so im not surprised at your business as usual flip flop on a subject.

lets take a look at xx(i assume the "x"'s are because your so edge) list

black hawk down, i saw this in theaters, it was a good movie, if not completely and utterly depressing i would not label this as an action movie though, much more of a drama set in the background of war.

Rules of engagement, another Drama set to the backdrop of war, this one with a lot more flash backs.

Three Kings, a comedy set to the back drop of....you guessed it war.....im seeing a trend here.....

Star wars, war is in the tittle of this one so it must be good right? while a little broad considering this comprises 6 movies ill give you they qualify fro action most of the time, though the new ones are more like dramas.

Band of Brothers, i happen to love this mini series, but again its a drama.

now that we have figured out xx likes dramas set to the back drop of war we can move on to actual action movies.

here are 6 actual action movies in no particular order

• Drunken master 2
• The Rock
• Die Hard
• Predator, this one is kinda about war so you should like it.
• The Rundown
• Terminator 2

What up fuckers!  It's been pretty silent on this bitch for a while so I'd figured I'd open my giant fucking yap.  So, I'm talking to my fellow coworker the other night and he goes to me "Oh, dude!  Did you see Fear Factor last night?  They were eating stink beetles and cow eyeballs!"  At that point I had a saddening and depressing epiphany.  When did the general public become so brain dead that this horse crap is considered entertainment?!?

I personally blame this reality TV rage on "Who wants to be a Millionaire".  Now I know what you're saying:  "Lio, this wasn't reality TV".  No, but it proved to the networks that they could have a number 1 tv show with just the promise of shelling out a million bucks every so often (it may sound like a lot, but keep in mind that's what each of those Friends assholes gets for one episode, even that douche bag David Schwimmer).  No paying those costly writers, directors and people with actual talent.  Of course "Millionaire" spawned a number of bastard children.  My personal favorite was "Which One of You is the Biggest Gold Digging Whore"... I mean... "Who wants to marry a Millionaire."  However, the most culturally significant show that Millionaire spawned was Survivor.  This shitbag of a "show" proved that you could drop some camera equipment and a bunch of the most annoying people in the world on a desert island and still turn a profit.  After that... fuck... The flood gates for reality TV broke.  God, remember when TV had writers, and plots... and... and, meh... screw it.

While we're on the TV and the fucking albatross it has become, I was watching the boob toob tonight at 1 am, as I usually do because I'm pathetic, and I happened upon Sex 2k on MTV.  Now for those not in the know, this show showcases deviant lifestyles and displays them on MTV so that our children can be exposed to them and be tolerant of perverts that should be cured of their sickness by FIRE!!!  Any hoo... the topic of tonights episode was "Furries".  It turns out there are wacked out fuck jobs out there that get their jollies off by dressing up like giant stuffed animals and fucking eachother in the ass.  And, supposedly there is this huge internet community out their that gets off on erotic anthropomorhic cartoons and strives to be like them.  I'm sorry, but if you like to spend your time whacking off to Looney Toons with Genitalia, you should be dragged out into the town square, put into a pillary and have hot coals shoved up your ass.  And then get castrated.  I can't believe they are showing this shit on MTV (The average viewer is what 12?  13?) as a choice of sexual lifestyle.  I'm sorry people, but sometimes tolerance goes to far.  Sometimes you have to say, "You fucking deviant shitbag".

On that note I'd like to announce that I am running for pope and will be starting a new inquistion that will hunt down Furries and TV execs that cram This horse crap down our throats.  It's time to burn some heathens and heritics.  Hail to the king.

Well, to answer Calliander's question, the music used in silly01.mov is made by Moodlex (www.moodlex.com). I highly recommend you pick up a copy of his CD (Moodlex Sessions). The music I used is actually from an upcoming release.. hopefully he won't mind.

People who know me, know my video camera. I haven't used it much at all in the past 12 months, but I used to use it a LOT. I will probably start using it more again since I do miss it.

But most folks seem to think I do something weird with the footage. In particular, arcee has been the most vocal about it. One reason people don't understand is because I generally don't show anyone the footage.. but you know what? I don't even look at the footage. I went through 2 or 3 tapes in the past few days, and with the exception of the old school tape from 1994, I had NEVER EVER watched the footage. NEVER.

I now have a computer powerful enough to use Premiere without wanting to scream.. so I'll probably put more clips online and go through more of it. I really want to catalogue it all as well.. I have 50+ hours of tape, and I've watched < 5 hours of it.

Some of the most interesting things I'm finding are audio clips. The mic on the camera picks up lots of audio.. including lots of things that I know were not meant to be heard, nevermind recorded. Again I bring up Arcee because the tape I was looking at last night happened to be from her birthday party in Boston. We definitely deserved the comments made for the most part tho.. I still dont understand how Wilson and I were so wasted for so long.

Anyway, I at some point will splice together clips of folks complaining about the camera and talking about what I do with the footage. Every time the camera is out, someone says something.

Anyway, traffic to this site has basically died off which is fantastic. Except for a surprisingly large amount of traffic from Saudi Arabia..

I thought it was really cool how they handled Hoyt getting "possessed" like Kirk was. I would've been really pissed if he'd just been like, "FUCK YOU MUKADA! I AM THE DEVIL!" Hoyt is still pretty cool now, though, he's just like, "I see the devil... he's right over your shoulder! Hahahahaha!"

He whipped his cock out in one episode. That was pretty scary. I hear he's a really friendly, intelligent guy, though, in person. Odd. =)

Knaa'mean?

Well, they killed Hill on the last season of Oz. Prior to that, they killed Adebisi. Adebisi was replaced by Burr and Hill is still narrating the show from the grave with other dead inmates helping.

They killed Said tonight. It'll be interesting to see, now, if O'Reilly and Beecher get it. Beecher would probably be the last, since he represents the viewer and was introduced first. Weird.

Knaa'mean?

Eclipsenetwork.com

Gatekeeper, you know exactly what to do with a clone of you. He stands by your bed in your house until you get destroyed by Lavos, then you get the Time Egg and go back to 10,000 B.C. and switch him with you at the point you got destroyed.

Jeez, sometimes you're so dumb.

What a great DVD set. It's so weird to be able to notice the difference in picture quality and filming styles between the first season and the stuff we've been seeing on the more recent seasons. The first season was definitely much more gritty and more like Law and Order than it is now.

I also realized, watching the first episode again, that we can't really get mad at the Luke Perry thing from the fifth season since Rebadow knew Beecher's wife's name and said that God told him all about it.

I forgot that Alvarez got shanked before he even got into Oz.

Man, so phat. Such a good series.

Hehe. You make sound as if I wholeheartedly cared as to whether O'Reilly or Kenmin prevailed, Lio. All I'd said was that the preview made it seem like Jia was kicking his ass. You silly man.

I haven't seen the finale, but I knew that I was right. It was Hill. Who's going to narrate now? I honestly don't think he's gone for good, though because of Tom Fontana's "system". Each of the five "Untouchables" is labeled so for a reason. Beecher is there for alcohol abuse. Hill is there for drug abuse. Schillinger is there for ignorance. Saed is there for abuse of power. And O'Reilly is there for selfishness. All terrible things in Fontana's book. It doesn't have anything to do with black, white, asian, hispanic. Anything else that happens to anyone else is a preamble to whatever changes any of the five. Hill kicked drugs early on, he was humbled by the loss of his legs. Beecher got over the alcohol abuse, he was humbled by the loss of his wife and children. Saed got over his abuse of power this season by taking on McManus' charge of straightening Omar White up. White humbled him. Schillinger is on his way, but keeps getting sidetracked and I think this Winthrop thing will help. What about O'Reilly, though? Will it take the death of his brother to realize the depths of his selfishness?

Well, Season 6 better happen, that's all I have to say. And March 19th can't come fast enough. It's been a while since season 1, folks.

This message goes to Calliander... So my dear old friend, how does it feel to be SOOOOO wrong about the Jia Kin Min vs. Ryan O'Reilly dispute. I can't believe you thought that arrogant little bastard could ever get one over on O'Reilly! Nobody fucks with that fly Irishman without ending up in the boneyard. Better and meaner men have died trying to defeat him. Dino Ortolani, Nino Shibetta, that russian Jewish guy, Andrew/Verne Shillinger, Everybody in the boxing tourney, that pigfucker that raped Dr. Nathan and now Jia. And do you know why? Why he has lasted so long? Not because he was the strongest. Not because he had the crew with the most clout. Simply because he was the most evil man in an evil place, and he will do whatever it takes for he and Cyril to survive.

I hate money so much. It depresses me a lot when I spend it. It depresses me a lot when I don't have it. It depresses me mostly all the time because I always have to spend it.

That show.. uh.. Dark Angel.. everyone says the acting is bad, but I don't notice. Is it the hot ass on the show (i love all those ass shots of her ass, don't you?)? Or is it the writing?

TV: Black and White or Green and Black.

But, TVs push out lots of light.

Anyway...... You don't see colours. TV's don't show white. The GREEN is replaced with your imagination of colours. You forget your imagination at a high rate, but your mind doesn't think it's changing.. it forgot that it changed. Hmm..

Making up that you get mugged is not cool. And then saying you beat up the delivery-girl is not cool.

Man, Caniprokis, I would NOT want to be Gatekeeper's hero. Beware. Nggggh.

Anyway, I am not at all trained in the discipline of psychology, which means according to my own opinions of many involved in that particular science, that I am perfectly qualified to dispense psycological analysis. That being said, I think that Calliander is right in many ways about everyone's love for old cartoon shows. I think it is very likely that you all enjoy these shows because you enjoyed them during your childhood, and they remind you of being a kid. I think things can be good in that they are enjoyable, but I think that we can all admit that Thundercats is not a great work of art. Sorry, folks but the history of Western Literature does not progress as follows:

Homer

Horace

Milton

Shakespeare

MacGyver

I think you all know that you enjoy watching TV from back in the day, but come on. The writing was not brilliant on He-Man or Transformers. You probably just like them because they remind you of when you were a kid. This group certainly loves re-living their youth. Many of us here still spend time doing so, and some probably have not even grown that far away from it. Anyway, yeah, Thundercats does kinda suck, and I never liked Macgyver much, but I'm sure that they can be fun to watch anyway.

And what the fuck is it with those kids that light themselves on fire after watching that show "Jackass"? That is just stupidity. There is no need to censor shows like that, there is a need to have children be less stupid. Idunno. Maybe those kids should watch Scooby Doo or something.

You don't know anything. Here's a bunch of facts to back me up. So there.

A site like good old Insult here: ASCII Porn

Yeah, I'm gonna have to agree with Caniprokis on this one. Calliander, sometimes you say intelligent things, and I'm usually more than happy to be on your side in arguments. But this time, you've gone too far. Nobody will insult the Thundercats in my presence and get away with it. And since I'm too far away to do anything to you, I shall name Caniprokis as my champion.

Canprokis! Go forth like the unstoppable juggernaut that you are! Crush all those who would dare speak ill of our beloved Thundercats! In our hearts, and in our minds, the Thundercats shall always be on the move! They shall always be on the loose! We shall always feel their magic! And we shall always hear their roar! Evildoers of Third-Earth, beware!

So Speaks The Gatekeeper...So It Shall Be!

Gummibears and MacGuyver are good. They used to be on every day, EVERY DAY. Now it's just a bunch of shit, like, there aren't even any cool shows that my little sister will be talking about when she's my age, they're just all crap.

Anyhow, I don't understand what it is about some people who feel like they either A.) have the right to talk down to you or B.) will talk down to people just because they can. Let me be more specific here, I'm talking about Pappy's roommate Preacherman, here. He's always speaking in these cryptic little didactic allegories. About 85% of the time they're cryptic enough that I don't even understand what the fuck he's talking about... For the love of fuck, for those of us who know Pappy, what the hell is he going to do with them? Here's an example: I'm stoned out of my fucking mind yesterday, and he comes in all gruff and pissed off at something (It could be that pappy and I ate an ENTIRE half gallon of icecream, or maybe it's that his "date" with a hooker last night didn't go so well (you have to pay extra to come all over their faces, and I think he might have been a little short)) and then he keeps yelling at me that "This is strike number two". So, I'm like, Pappy, WHAT THE FUCK is he talking about? Is he talking about baseball again? Then I'm like "Well, you might as well make it strike three, then we can stop counting" back to him, to which he looks like I've insulted him or something. I don't even fucking understand what he was talking about still. It's completely fucking asinine to try to teach people lessons by saying a bunch of bullshit that makes no sense to anyone but you, and then to get pissed off because they don't follow what you said. Anyhow, back to what brought us to this point, I don't understand what makes him think he can talk down to me, or talk down to anyone, and these little "lessons", these delicious little gems of "knowledge" that he somehow has garnered do exactly two things: Make him look like he's TRYING to act like some kind of sage, make him look like a complete asshole. If I was more violent I would have hurt him by now, probably. I don't know how pappy does it.

Okay, more random shit. Computer Science is a bullshit major. Computers are just a fad anyhow. But, really, all we're trained to do here is write shitty code quickly and somewhere around 9 times out of 10 cheat to get the answer or solution. Maybe that's practice for the real world, and if so, maybe I don't want to be involved in it. Coding, at it's core, and I don't know how many of you will really understand this, is an art. You don't ever see art teachers giving the strictest fucking deadlines on campus as to when some painting has to be completed by. You get sparks of creativity and you have dry spells... So making us code on demand does one thing - make us hate coding. If you can do it at your liesure, and when you feel like it, and when it's interesting, it's actually enjoyable (if you can believe that). People, myself included, bitch about the purity of the major.. Half the kids in there are fucking hacks who are just in it for the money, and would sell you out just for a grade. These are the kind of fuckers who if you work in a group with them, EVEN IF you all do equal work, will claim that they did all the work and you stranded them, just to look good for the teacher. These kinds of greasy, shistey bastards. The problem with protecting the purity if the major, is that it's already about as pure as a cribhouse whore. It's just inherently that way because of how they do things. Rather than teach us interesting things, and letting us persue our interests pertaining to these things, the powers that be choose to make us do the same pointless bullshit over and over and over again each year, which we forget immediatly after completion. On projects that are actually enjoyable, you actually learn something, and you ALWAYS take something away from them.. I dont know, if you ask me, things need to change, chances are that they wont, though. meh.

So, I'm looking forward to living off campus. Pappy and Danz0r seem concerned, well, more Pappy for whatever reason, about Leveres and I living together.. Oh well, only time will tell, but I feel really good about that. It will be nice to not have to walk a half mile to use the bathroom anymore, and to be able to have my own food in my own fridge and all that stuff. Being off the meal plan will also be extremely nice.

Work is getting better, slowly but surely.. Things are less stressful now.. The summer should be good, since it's nice to have a place to go and work instead of working at home - people dont get the idea of working at home, and the distractions are horrible. Just because i'm not sitting at some fucking desk in some recirculated air building doesn't mean I'm not concentrating and working.. bleh.

So, I like getting high. It's fun. But, like with everything else, it's a to each his own sort of thing.. When it comes down to it, it really doesn't matter what you do and what you don't do.. Don't want to swear? Don't. Don't want to have sex? Don't. Don't want to drink? Don't. Don't want to do drugs? Don't. It doesn't really matter why, it's a personal decision, and Levres choice is Levres choice, and more so I completely back her decision and love her for it. Fractals are cool when you're stoned, too. Music is good, but not most of the music on the radio. It's called hippie music for a reason kids. Anyhow, I'm all for Levres not doing drugs while she still is on medication, I mean, it's just silly to do them if you're not going to enjoy them, right? At least she's not one of those nazi girlfriends who is like, if I'm not going to do it, niether are you.. man is that annoying. To each his own, kids, to each his own. It's like Levres douche bag roommate.. Like, there's always round robins on Levres' floor, but she never knows about them because she's niether invited or asked to participate in them because one time they came by, and no doubt got her roommate who probably gave them some shit about how she doesnt drink, and there's no drinking allowed in her room and all this crap.. She doesn't allow Levres to drink on her own side of the fucking room even when she is gone every weekend. Talk about a bunch of bullshit. It's that kind of throwing your weight around bullshit, much like what Preacherman does, that just drives an average more or less easy going guy like myself nuts.

So, showering with your girlfriend is a good thing, but, it fucking sucks to feel like a criminal every single time I do it. That's not enough of a deterant to stop me, however. I have noticed one thing though, girls can be very un-ladylike while in a place that no boys are present (ie. the bathroom).. and man, some things go on that I'd rather not have first party knowledge of.

I think that's my random spattering of shit for a little while. I haven't posted in a while, and don't know when I'll post again. We'll call that wait and see, eh kids? Peace out... JW.

PS - Caniprokis and FlyingTim, are we gonna get to see you kids anytime soon? What happened this weekend, Peps?

Remember to set those clocks an hour ahead, fuckers!

I'm currently listing something on eBay for sale. At the bottom of the auction, in big letters, above where you place your bid, I have a note telling people not to e-mail me to end the auction early. About twenty minutes after the auction first appeared on eBay I got two e-mails from people looking to get me to end early. So I put that note in there. I checked my e-mail a little while ago to find three people asking me to end the auction early. Not a one of them specified an amount, they all just said, basically, "What would it take for you to end the auction and give me the stuff?" Idiots. If I'd wanted a "Buy It Now" option, something you can specify during the creation of your auction, I would've put it there!

There are also a lot of people with zero feedback. Almost all of them have the "shades" icon next to their names. This means that they're all new idiots who don't know a thing about how to bid on an auction. A few of them have six or seven bids in a row. "Oh, I want to be cautious and pay as little as possible!" Moron. Whatever you put in, SOMEONE is going to beat until the auction ends when you're dealing with such a popular and sought-after item. So you might as well just put in the most you're willing to pay. Bidding isn't for cautious morons, it's for people who have money to burn, dammit. Meh.

On another note, I think we should have computer natural aptitude tests. I run a site with files you can download. Sometimes, for no reason at all, instead of asking you where to save these files, the browser will display the entire file as text. Don't ask me why it does this. But you'd think people know enough about computers so that when that happens, they'd use the "Save Target As..." (or equivalent browser action) option and be done with it, right? Wrong. I've got people messaging me on AIM to tell me that, "such-and-such a file doesn't download," and that, "it only displays text, can you send it to me in e-mail?" Meh. I should sign each of these people up for weekly pr0n newsletters. They're so dumb, they'd probably assume they'd signed up for it themselves. Morons.

Finally, if my neighbor is so concerned about her cat that she'll yell at me for trying to scare it away with snowballs, why doesn't she bring the fucking thing in at night instead of leaving it out so that it can meow at my window?!? What the fuck, lady!? Suck my dick! 947 out!

Matlock rules man. So does fuckin' Law & Order, NYPD Blue, and other law related shows.. except Ally Mcbeal which is just plain annoying.. er.. Judge Amy is probably dumb too (never seen it.. is it still on?).
