Whatever Happened To Wayne Brady?
"Is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a bitch?" I was getting sick of hearing "Diamonds" everytime I updated my page so I decided to get a new video. I looked around, checking for some good songs/videos. Some candidates for the next video were "The APL Song" and "Don't Lie" by The Black Eyed Peas, "Sugar We're Goin' Down" by Fallout Boy, and "Outta Control" by Fitty Cent. I'm still waiting for "Gold Digger" by Kanye West and Jamie Foxx, which I consider the one of the Summer Anthem's this year, but they haven't made a code for it yet because they're bastards.
I decided to choose none of the above because I found they had clips from Chapelle's Show, simply the funniest show out there tied with Family Guy and maybe ATHF. It's too bad he couldn't go on with a third season, but hopefully he'll recoup and reconsider. In one of the sketches he did in season two, Dave Chapelle took a look at whatever happened to Wayne Brady...
GoMoGo89: eat shit Auto-response from OneShot315: i woke up at 7:30 and was fucking mad, but then i realized kids in high school were in class and i laughed OneShot315: you're not in high school OneShot315: unless you had to get up at 7:30 and that would suck GoMoGo89: nope just eat shit anyway OneShot315: will i get paid? GoMoGo89: only in shit OneShot315: shit to eat or shit to trade for goods and or services? GoMoGo89: either one OneShot315: because if i eat shit to get more shit to eat it's kinda pointless GoMoGo89: as long as at some point you consume shit OneShot315: is there weed mixed in this shit? GoMoGo89: nope OneShot315: like a weed shit brownie OneShot315: hmm GoMoGo89: sounds good though OneShot315: egh
It's 7:52 in the morning and I'm pulling myself to begin a triple session workout that involves working out in the morning, noon, and night. Nothing particularly hard, just a half hour on the bike in the morning with light abs, maybe tennis or basketball in the noontime, with a mile run (I'm all sprinter, so I consider it a workout), weights, and the Six Seconds ab machine (believe me, you can feel it working) at night. Fairly low intensity stuff that builds up. Combine this with eating 5-6 small meals a day and you've got a hardcore workout plan. If I had done this everyday no doubt I'd be cut like an NFL runningback, but I've been on and off the plan all summer. Even doing a double session workout is enough to poop me out for the next day. I've lost about five pounds this summer, and I want to drop down to 185 by next; I'm planning to join the UM boxing club and learn the secrets of cutting weight (I'd imagine it's just draining all the water you can from your body).
It's tough to get myself up to workout early in the morning, but all I have to do is take a look at two things. Two motivational pieces that make me REALLY want to get cut:
1. Hands down the hottest woman alive
2. Hey hey hey fuck that shit
I'm posting this so I can visit it everytime I need something to drive me to the gym, and you can use it too if you're feeling particularly lazy. For the ladies and gays, you can visit here. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to pop a ripped fuel and headed to the gym.
Any remote chance of us getting Michael Finley has been obliterated. The Pistons front office used 3.5 of the 5 million dollar mid-level exception towards Dale Davis. I pose to you the question: What the fuck were they thinking?
Michael Finley is now heavily leaning towards Miami, who not only have their full $5 million mid-level exception reserved for Finley, but who created 20 different posters of Finley in different poses and put them up around the stadium. Talk about high expectations. Detroit hasn't done shit except piss away $3.5 million of that exception towards an aging player who has only played ONE full 82-game season in his 15-year career.
Supporters of the Dale Davis trade will no doubt claim Detroit needs a new Shaq stopper with the departure of Elden Campbell. If you actually watched all the games last year, you'd realize that Elden was rarely used. Against the Heat he averaged a measley 6 minutes and 17 seconds (rounded up) per game. Out of the seven games, he only had more than two fouls in two of the games. He didn't even eat up fouls. A Shaq stopper? Not really.
Davis for Elden? Meh
Supporters of the Dale Davis trade will no doubt claim he averaged 8.9 rebounds per game with the Pacers last year, but they should see that he only played 25 games with em.
He hacks better than a computer geek
We should've saved our money to bid for Finley, keeping any small flame of him coming alive, telling him the Heat are just hype, and that we knocked them off last year even though they were the favorite to win the Eastern Conference way before last season had begun. Now he's long gone.
Our other options are the veterans Latrell Sprewell and Allan Houston. Sprewell hates Pistons coach Flip Saunders and Houston hasn't been healthy enough to play a full season since 2002. Neither would be a good fit.
One out we have is Damon Jones, who was originally drafted in Detroit, but he'll probably go to Cleveland if Finley goes to Miami.
The only hope we have now is that one of our draft picks, Alex Acker or high schooler Amir Johnson show up as the off-the-bench shooter we need. Our draftee two years previous, Ricky Paulding, played in Europe and if he shows promise we could pull him back. Plus Carlos Delfino, who should've made the playoff cut over useless Dunkin' Darvin Ham.
Hope for the Motor City?
The thing that got me angry last year was everyone saying Carlos Arroyo was useless. I've been a supporter ever since he came to Detroit, but other people waver depending on what the media says. Everyone jumped on his dick when he made those alley-oop passes and no-lookers, but when he didn't perform the same and made a few errors, he suddenly became the most hated player on the team. People, Arroyo can shoot, he's like the all-time leading scorer at Florida International or has somesuch record. I just think the pressure gets to him and he's too unwilling to shoot when he's around all-stars. When he's around the other backups he tends to shoot more and he makes most of them, it really all comes down to his confidence level. He has to shoot more, and he can fulfill that role easily if he works on his self-confidence.
Shoot the goddamn ball Carlos
We really didn't need Salim Stoudamire. Drafting Jason Maxiell may have shocked everyone, but we basically got a junior Ben Wallace. When he was drafted the spotlight on him said he was a block monster, had a freakish leaping ability, and had to work on his offense. Remind you of anybody? Keep in mind we made it to the NBA Finals without a bench shooter. It sounds funny to say, but we needed to upgrade our defense. Compared to 2003, 2004's defense lapsed greatly. Maxiell is what we needed.
Grrar
I wouldn't mind Dale Davis coming to Detroit if it didn't mean losing Finley. He'll get more PT than Elden and have more of an impact, and strenghten our already fortified defense. I still don't think it's worth losing Finley, even if we only had a sliver of a chance of getting him.
Maybe it's just that our shooters are already there, they just haven't developed yet. We'll just have to wait and see. The only thing we know for sure is that there won't be a Pistons jersey with Finley on the back.
Michael Finley: Shooting his way to a Miami near you.
RED = REPUBLICANS BLUE = IDIOTIC CRYBABIES Maybe those states are blue from all the whining going on (and tears are sorta blue).
If I had money I'd buy this shirt. I love it because it would piss off a ton of people at UMich, because them and all the Pro-Kerry people are still mad at the election. IT'S OVER YOU COCKWADS, MAKE LIKE A MUTE AND STFU!
However, just for the record, I would like to state that I am not nor ever will be a Republican. Same goes with a Democrat, I choose the candidate based on THE CANDIDATE, NOT the party. Voting on a straight party ticket is moronic, especially when people don't analyze the situation. I would also like to state for the record that I think Bush is a moron. But at least I support him and this country unlike you anarchy assholes out there. Die.
So on Myspace theres a bunch of people with music videos on their spaces. I always thought there was some sort of super complicated HTML method of doing this, but it turns out there are sites where you can simply copy and paste HTML into your code. I'll use these videos to show what music I'm listening to right now.
First off is Kanye West with Diamonds. Kanye West's music isn't great just because of the awesome beats and smart lyrics he uses, but because he's unconventional. Unconventional in the way that he doesn't dedicate his music to gangsta shit, rolling in escalades, getting high, fucking bitches, etc. He raps about real world shit, the stuff that so called gangsta rappers tend to forget and ignore, like poverty, aids, and general racial tensions between white and black. In this case, Kanye directs attention towards the diamond mines in Sierra Leone and throughout Africa, where people slave away for hours with little food or pay, a situation which America tends to ignore. While diamonds may be worth a ton to us who can afford them, in reality there is a huge surplus of diamonds out there. The DeBeers company is a monopoly in this field, and thus can control the supply and prices.
In these days and times, buying a CD is a sign of ultimate respect and fandom towards an artist, and I actually bought College Dropout. I also saw Kanye live in concert at the Blast on the River rooftop party on Cobo's roof last summer. It was unbelievable, it was so crazy that Kanye told everybody we had to spread out because the vibrations of people jumping and screaming were becoming dangerous and threatining the intregrity of the roof.
Another hot track out by him now is Gold Digger, featuring Jamie Foxx sampling as the late and great Ray Charles, a fucking awesome song; I would put it up here but there is no video code for it yet. It's another must downl... err, song to buy off of iTunes. Kanye's new CD, Late Registration, comes out on August 30th, you can be damned sure I'm gonna pick it up.
Kanye West - Diamonds (From Sierra Leone)
Close your eyes and imagine, feel the magic Vegas on acid, Seen through Yves St. Laurent glasses And I've realized that I've arrived, cuz It take more than a magazine to kill my Vibe
Some people who piss me off are those pricks who say "I don't listen to the radio, there's nothing good on it" only because they think it makes them cool. They claim they know a bunch of unknown bands and are proud as shit because they think they're more exclusive than you for doing so. I'm fine if you don't like the radio because you don't like the radio, and I'm fine if you like small bands because you like small bands, but if you think you're better than other people for doing so and you only do it because you're a social climber... well, you're a fuckball. The radio does NOT suck, and most small bands do. Goddamn posers.
Myspace is a haven for these fools, because on Myspace, there's a revolution of small time bands, artists, and models trying to promote their goods. I've only been on Myspace for a couple of weeks and I've already gotten friend requests from at least 50 bands and singers trying to get me to add them to their friend list. I usually just ignore them, but if I'm in a particularly good mood I give their music a listen. It usually sucks, sometimes it's decent, but never is valid enough for them to make it big time. In either case, I will never friend these people because I don't know them.
When it comes to the models promoting their shit, you will usually find them with at least 20,000 friends, mostly those guys who feel more of a man for having a super hot girl on their friend list. Again, more poser social climbing pieces of shit. When browsing through friends of friends of friends, I ran upon a model who made me take a second look, and who beats a lot of celebrities.
Her name is Masuimi Max. With that name I'd think she'd be Japanese but I'm not really sure, maybe she's half. In either case she's a stunning model of a model; she looks like Gwen Stefani with a little Angelina Jolie on the side.
Let's feed the terrorists one of these babies, maybe they'll shut the fuck up then
Someone give me a reason to withdraw our troops from Iraq, other than 1. To save the lives of troops
In the American Heratige Dictionary, the definition of a soldier is: One who serves in an army. The definition of army is: A large body of people organized and trained for land warfare. The definition of warfare is: The waging of war against an enemy; armed conflict. The definition of conflict is: A state of open, often prolonged fighting; a battle or war. The definition of fight is: To attempt to harm or gain power over an adversary by blows or with weapons. The definition of harm is: Physical or psychological injury or damage; Wrong; evil.
Make like a kindergartner and connect the dots. Yes, our soldiers risk their lives everyday, yes, they die. But you certainly can't question what they're doing in Iraq. They're making peoples' lives better. If you're a simple minded cretin, it might occur to you that all the media attention is posed on the negative aspects of Iraq, that all the biased media is focused on is the anti-American Muslim fanatics, the people in Iraq shouting "Death to America", the ones who burn American flags and effigies of President Bush. If you're a simple minded cretin you won't see the people in Iraq who are grateful we have toppled down Saddam's GENOCIDAL regime, that we are restructuring their government in a far more efficient way than a dictatorship, that we are making the world a better place to live, that we are trying prevent Iraqi's future generations from the hardships they're going through, that we're making progress. Progress, slowly, but surely.
This war was supposed to take time. I know Bush made some stupid remarks saying "mission accomplished" and other shit like that, but if you honestly think we can singlehandedly overpower and totally restructure a nation in a couple of years, you must have angel dust mixed in with your Wheaties. Don't be a fool. All wars take time.
If our troops leave now, you know what's going to happen? Let me create the scene for you:
The under-trained ragtag group that is the Iraqi military and police force will be quickly overcome by hidden Saddam sympathizers and terrorists cells. Hidden among the populace, hidden in the hills, caves, and spider holes, hidden wherever they can manage, until America withdraws all its troops, or at least enough to gain a tactical advantage. Members of Saddam's former regime, hidden as well, will emerge in force, as their time has come. The troops we have, coupled with a sorry excuse for an Iraqi army, would be able to hold them off, but will be overwhelmed in a few weeks time. At that time the American people, especially those who were previously so anti-war, will beg President Bush to re-insert our troops back into Iraq, but he will deny those requests because he doesn't want the whole cycle to begin all over again. He will withdraw all our troops from Iraq, leaving the Iraqis to fend for themselves. You anti-government fuckball pieces of shit out there want to see anarchy? It will ensue, with thousands being slaughtered at the hands of the new regime, while we watch on CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC.
Don't doubt that former members of Saddam's regime will show up if we leave. They're just waiting, being as patient as a sniper on his prey. The same thing happened in Somalia under the Clinton administration. Peace was restored to the chaotic region when our troops and the UN arrived, but after the UN, the only authoritative force, withdrew, the shit hit the fan. I'm sure you've seen Blackhawk Down; the setting of the movie is after the UN leaves.
If our troops withdraw now, Iraq is FUCKED. Not a girlfriend-boyfriend pre-marital fuck, not a drunken-one-night-stand-never-see-em-again-slam-bang-thank-you-ma'am fuck, not even a gay sex assfuck. Iraq would be a new, fresh meat prisoner in a maximum security prison, taking a shower, surrounded by convicts with life sentences, with their soap dropping. If America abandons Iraq, Iraq is going to be gangbanged, and hard. They won't even see what's coming, and a new, entirely terroristic NATION will be born.
You think it's bad enough that terrorists can drive car bombs into markets and checkpoints, and bring them into subways. Imagine if terrorists took over an entire country. Had the ways and means to propogandize its people and surrounding states, bringing even more to their cause. The scope of terrorism would evolve to a state we would never have even though of, and the newly-popularized phrase "We are not afraid" would become obsolete.
The only good thing about Saddam is that he was smart. He was wise enough to realize that if he took drastic actions against America, for example, launching a nuclear missile or chemical weapons at us, he would condemn his entire country to being wiped off the map from one of our ICBMs. With no country to rule over, what good would he be? But if we withdraw from Iraq, a new, younger, more radical leader may arise from the ashes, and with a fanatical, gung-ho, Jihad-filled mind, who knows what kind of actions they might take? World War III is a certain possibility, with the end of the world trailing a close second.
Do we want to be remembered again as a country who didn't finish what they started, who gave up halfway through? We already did that in Vietnam, though we tend to forget that part quite conveniently. The difference between Vietnam and Iraq is that now we have the tactical advantage. Don't you think we owe it to the people of Iraq to show we are committed to completing our mission? I know we look pretty crappy in the eyes of other nations, but how would we look if we leave Iraq to an apocalyptic fate? That we left a whole country to die? That we stopped helping people because we were cowards? "We are not afraid" my ass.
WE HAVE TO FINISH WHAT WE STARTED, OTHERWISE ALL THAT WHICH OUR TROOPS HAVE DIED FOR WILL BE FOR NOTHING AND WILL BE FORSAKEN. THE PAST FOUR YEARS WOULD HAVE BEEN WASTED, AND ALL THE MONEY AND RESOURCES WE HAVE PUT TOWARDS IRAQ WILL HAVE BEEN GOOD FOR NOTHING. As I stated it all before, the Iraqi police force is far from prepared to simply keep the peace and order in Iraq, let alone control it. Sure they can hold checkpoints and check IDs, sure they can stage some minor raids. It doesn't mean shit. The missions they've done are on a small scale, and usually supported by American troops. If we leave and expect them to do what they're supposed to do... well, let's just say that the National Rifle Association could work the beat better.
Think of Iraq as our child. A lot of the time they don't like what you're doing for them; they complain and nag and cry that what you're doing for them is wrong, even if it is for the better. For a kid to truly grow up the right way you have to be there for them, you have to nurture them. You have to see their pop warner football games, have to see their school plays, and at times, scold them. But if a parent walks out on a kid and leaves them to fend for themselves, well that my friend, is an injustice, that most of the time leaves the kid scarred for life, with nothing but limitless odium and the utmost contempt for that parent.
Now that's a prize trophy if I've ever seen one, they should gut him and put his head on a board for display in the White House
This, and the following articles, focuses on our ongoing war against terrorism. It focuses on the anti-war people, the anti-Bush people, and the pro-war prisoner rights people. Fuck them all, and fuck you if you're one of them.
I have been thinking about writing an article about this for awhile, but I've lacked the sufficient motivation to get angry enough to sit down and write about it. Combine the fact that today I've done what I think is my best writing ever, and that I just watched Bill O'Reilly, I'm on the ball right now. I've been writing about America's inevitable downfall and how our perspectives on things are completely backwards. I'm not really angry physically, but these things have been nagging me for quite some time and they're simply common injustices that a vast majority of idiots conform to. What follows may get you angry, and I hope it does; it may get you angry at me, but all I know is that my opinions are rock solid and you won't be able to change them because you have a stupidass, WRONG viewpoint on something. If you want to sit down and debate with me I'm more than glad to, I haven't lost one yet and I doubt I will if you challenge me. But if you simply read on I think you'll agree rather than dis. I'm going to use a lot of CAPS to emphasize certain points.. I usually don't use these that often but there's a lot of emphasis to be had here.
So like I said, I was eating dinner and my dad flipped to Bill O'Reilly. This time Bill was complaining about the ACLU, claiming that despite the fact the "A" stood for "American" in the acronym, it was an anti-American organization, aiming to destroy President Bush's reputation and allow chaos to ensue. Just for the record I'd like to state two things: fuck the ACLU and fuck the Geneva Convention. I'll get back to those later.
My first complaint is to all those hardcore anti-Bush people out there. I can understand if you don't like the guy, hell, I think he's an idiot and only voted for him because he was the lesser of two evils. However, John Kerry is a bumbling, contradicting dumbfuck, and goddamn, is he ugly as shit. You can't argue that. I voted for Bush because he has to finish what he started; Kerry wanted to yank our troops out of the Middle East WITHOUT MODERATION, and he claimed he would get foreign countries to fill in the gaps. Honestly, what other countries would vouch for us now? Would back us up? The only significant military support I've heard of is from England and from Australia, and those are waning as it is.
I hate it when people say we should withdraw all our troops out of the Middle East, especially when people say it because it's what other people think and say, not because it's their own opinion. People tend to say what's popularly convenient, because they think they sound cool because they're repeating whatever the fuck everyone else is saying. They're afraid to look unpopular in the eyes of others at the expense of their freedom of speech. Cowards. I hate posers like this, social climbers who copy and follow other people to gain attention. That's fucking pre-elementary school assholes, get a life and think up your own shit. Someone give me a reason to withdraw our troops from Iraq, other than 1. To save the lives of troops 2. Because there were no weapons of mass destruction 3. Because the war is about oil 4. Because it's not our battle 5. President Bush did it to get revenge
I will answer each of these in a future, separate article.
I have recently gone onto myspace, and when I'm bored, I scour onto the forums. I've been to two forums so far: the University of Michigan one and Sportbikechat, because I'm planning to get a motorcycle next summer and I'm trying to get more info on what kind I should buy. On the UM forums an alum posted some bullshit talk the Sporting News had in their football preview:
Posted by ** The girl your mother warned you about **: Jul 26, 2005 4:04 PM (for the Sporting News' annual college football preview they asked another anonymous Big Ten coach to comment on Michigan)
"They are a physical team, and they are extremely talented, but they don't show up every week. I think they're pompous, over-recruited arrogant-type kids. Michigan really is the only school in our league that recruits nationally. Michigan can go to California or Florida and get a blue-chip player...Which school has better players, Ohio State or Michigan? Michigan. If you lined them up and had them run 40-yard dashes and took them into the weight room and had them bench press and power clean, yeah, they are better than Ohio State. Markedly better. The Michigan kid has more talent, but the Ohio State kids played harder. And to me, that's a microcosm of the two programs."
Some Wolverines put up weak responses:
Posted by Claudio: Jul 27, 2005 1:57 AM If we lose to OSU I will be incredibly pissed. Fuck Ohio State, so all you Football players better work. ------------------ Posted by Jacob: Jul 31, 2005 12:48 AM Ohio State.... please... They are OVERRATED. Are every single year and never should have won in the fiesta bowl against miami a few years back. Expect Hart to tear it up. ------------------ Posted by Tony: Aug 1, 2005 12:39 AM BULLLLLLSHIITTTTTTT, OSU can go kiss my ass, and wut do coaches kno bout other teams? they're too busy managin their own ------------------ Mine:
Posted by Ken: Aug 7, 2005 2:03 AM The only reason Ohio State beat us was because Jim Hermann is an idiot and has no clue on how to stop a running quarterback. It's been our problem for years on end.
The reason we can go to different states and recruit five-star players nationwide is because, well.. we're only the team with the most wins in Division 1-A history, we only have the biggest stadium ever, we only have an alum by the name of Tom Brady and an alum by the name of Desmond Howard who is on the cover of NCAA 06, we're the only Big Ten team ranked in the top five this year, and we're only predicted to win the Big Ten. So boo hoo to the other ten teams, they can bow to us on their knees and suck it.
Buck the Fuckeyes. ------------------ Fuck the Sporting News, who reads their low-grade newspaper shit? All they're good for is wiping asses and for hobos to burn for heat. And if Ohio State players really played harder, then the series record wouldn't be 57-38-6 MICHIGAN.
