WORD. exerpt from: http://evilbeetgossip.film.com/2008/06/09/whats-the-verdict/
"Rapper Nas has just released the new video for his “controversial” song on his “controversial” album, “Be a Nigger Too.”
It’s eight-and-a-half minutes long, and includes a variety of what some might consider racial slurs. Not just “nigger.” He uses “kike” and “spic,” too. But he uses all of them in what I have to say is a loving manner.
Look, I’m not black. I’m Jewish, but I don’t look it. I’ve never really been on the receiving end of racial injustice. I’ll state that upfront as a disclaimer. But I don’t understand what the big deal is here. Nas is trying to remove the anger and hatred from these words. Because it’s no secret that language can shape a culture as much as a culture shapes a language. I don’t know if it really matters in the long run — if people want to hate other people because of their race (and their own insecurities and self-hatred), they’re going to find a way to do it — but you can’t blame a guy for trying.
I feel like even labeling this album as “controversial” is racism in and of itself. Why is it controversial? Because it involves a black man supporting basic human rights and dignity while using the word “nigger”? Like, what, white men hundreds of years ago get to decide that the word “nigger” is offensive and no one can ever change that evereverever? We’re just supposed to have this word that carries such a strong undercurrent of hatred and violence lingering in our dialect until the fucking universe implodes? Why can’t someone try to change this? Why is it so wrong to try? I understand that its critics want to respect the struggle that black people have endured in America, especially in regards to that word, and I appreciate that, but what I hear Nas trying to say with this song is “Move the fuck on, people. It’s a divisive word. Let’s give it less power.” And I totally appreciate that, too, and it’s upsetting that anyone would want to revoke his right to send that message in whatever way he chooses"
aWESOME.

yep. i think my insomnia's made a comeback.... went to bed b4 midnite, woke up around 3am and i'm still wide awake. WHAT THE FUCK. not good, not good at all.
i kind of like working the mid afternoon till evening shift because i can sleep in, go for a jog, and still have time to relax before heading in.
eating habits are outta whack too, as i'm trying to adapt to cooking for myself again with the folks gone for a couple weeks. makes me realize how lazy i've been now that they're not around. actually, i realize how useless my little sister is now that i think about it. she hasn't cooked a meal yet. we stocked up the freezer, i bought easy to cook food and she still doesn't do anything. dunno how she's gonna survive on her own when she moves out.
i desperately want to go on a vacation, but the downfall of having a new job is the limited alotted vacation time. fucking hell, i hope this is one of my last stops and don't have to jump around from job to job. honestly haven't been on a real vacation for over... what 8 years? i mean a week long or more vacation, not just a weekend thing. how fucking depressing is that??? damn.
time for a visit to the doctor for some new sleeping pills. whenever i have effing time or a day off.

| i'm bringin' insomnia back |
[30 Nov 2007|12:36am] |
|
it's been getting worse... and i've been putting off going to see a sleep doctor for years...
this january, i am going against my norm and actually making a list of new years resolutions which will include a trip to the sleep doctor, an eye exam, and other fun outings that would be enjoyed by everyone except for myself.
i've been trying to sleep at 1130pm or so every night, but to no avail. i'll either fall asleep, then wake up an hour later, and sporadically wake up throughout the night.. OOOOOR. i sleep, then wake up at 2am and not fall asleep for anywhere between 1 and 3 hours. and u know what's even more shitty? no matter how much sleep i get, the latest i wake up is 930am.
what used to freak out was when i used to wake up in the middle of the night at 314am or 315am on a consistent basis. and for those of you who don't know the background behind that time reference... apparently thats when the spirits are amongst us, hence the coldness we feel in our bodies, etc. actually its a physical/chemical thing that our bodies go through at night, our body temperatures drop at night because our heart is at a more calm pace, pumping less blood into our body. coincidence? i don't think so.. but kinda freaky nonetheless.
most of you know how i do things, but most of you don't know my work ethics... i guess it's my ocd. and with my job title and current position, i think it works to my advantage that i always try to be 2 steps ahead of the game, in the work i have to do, my routine, daily and weekly duties... my brain is on cruise control and it just keeps workin away. is it being proactive? i suppose. i honestly consider it a flaw. that's why i really need a vacation to a tropical destination. i need to totally unwind, sit on a beach and enjoy the sound of waves, shielding my eyes not only from the sun, but the white sand and its brightness.
i can't wait till i get real old.. real old to me is 50yrs old. i hope i'll have enough time to write a book. that's gonna be a life long goal.... i don't wish to be rich, i also am reconsidering the whole having children thing.. i'll keep that topic for another blog though. as cliche as it sounds.. i just hope i'm content with my life, i want to live a simple life, be with the one i love, live on an acre or so of land... still have friendships that are worth hanging onto... u know. the dreamer's dream. minus the million bucks and more debt :D
so ya. lots on my mind. things are changing within me, my thoughts, my views, my attitude... i am slowly refining myself and i'm vowing to those important to me that i WILL become a better person.. not for my sake, nor theirs... just because i know i am a better person than the man i am right now... it'll take some time, but the first step is self realization which i'm halfway through thank goodness.
best of luck to those having exams, it's gonna be a strange holiday for myself since it is the first time in my whole life that i have no house in windsor to spend christmas in. i hope to see most of my closer friends, and i hope to see friends that have fallen away a bit... i'll just sit back with my fools' hope and just wait for the real ones to come back.
cheers y'all.

| NEWSFLASH: Thieving monkeys 'out of control' in northeast India |
[20 Nov 2007|12:31pm] |
LOL ???
GUWAHATI, India (AFP) - Troupes of monkeys are out of control in India's northeast, stealing mobile phones and breaking into homes to steal soft drinks from refrigerators, lawmakers in the region have complained.
"Monkeys are wreaking havoc in my constituency by taking away mobile phones, toothpastes, sipping coke after opening the refrigerators," Hiren Das told Assam state's assembly.
He said the primates were "even slapping women who try to chase them".
"It is a cause of serious concern in my area, with more than 1,000 such simians turning aggressive by the day," fumed Goneswar Das, another legislator representing Raha in eastern Assam.
Assam's wildlife minister, Rockybul Hussain, said the state government has formed a panel to study the problem.
Because of shrinking forest cover, monkeys have increasingly moved into cities elsewhere in India as well.
Last week, around two dozen people were hurt after monkeys rampaged through a New Delhi neighbourhood.
Last month, the deputy mayor of Delhi died when he fell from his balcony after being attacked by monkeys.
Efforts to drive out the animals is complicated by the fact that devout Hindus view them as an incarnation of Hanuman, the monkey god who symbolises strength.

| Halloween this... |
[30 Oct 2007|06:57pm] |
Halloween... a night where ugly people don't look ugly, or fat people don't look fat... why? because you can hide all that with just ONE mask, or face painting... all the whores just dress... like themselves and don't get called whores, for one night only they feel like everyone wants to be like them. but sadly, not.
Here's some background info:
History traces Halloween back to the ancient religion of the Celtics in Ireland. The Celtic people were very conscious of the spiritual world and had their own ideas of how they could gain access to it - such as by helping their over 300 gods to defeat their enemies in battle, or by imitating the gods in showing cleverness and cunning.
Their two main feasts were Beltane at the beginning of summer (May 1), and Samhain (pronounced Sah-ween) at the end of summer (Nov. 1). They believed Samhain was a time when the division between the two worlds became very thin, when hostile supernatural forces were active and ghosts and spirits were free to wander as they wished.
"During this interval the normal order of the universe is suspended, the barriers between the natural and the supernatural are temporarily removed, the sidh lies open and all divine beings and the spirits of the dead move freely among men and interfere sometimes violently, in their affairs"
(Celtic Mythology, p. 127).
The Celtic priests who carried out the rituals in the open air were called Druids, members of pagan orders in Britain, Ireland and Gaul, who generally performed their rituals by offering sacrifices, usually of crops and animals, but sometimes of humans, in order to placate the gods; ensuring that the sun would return after the winter; and frightening away evil spirits.
and.. about trick or treating..
Some trace the origins of present day "trick-or-treat" to Samhain, which was the supreme night of demonic jubilation. Spirits of the dead would rise out of their graves and wander the countryside, trying to return to the homes where they formerly lived. Frightened villagers tried to appease these wandering spirits by offering them gifts of fruit and nuts. They began the tradition of placing plates of the finest food and bits of treats that the household had to offer on their doorsteps, as gifts, to appease the hunger of the ghostly wanderers. If not placated, villagers feared that the spirits would kill their flocks or destroy their property.
The problem was... if the souls of dead loved ones could return that night, so could anything else,human or not, nice or not-so-nice. The only thing the superstitious people knew to do to protect themselves on such an occasion was to masquerade as one of the demonic hoard, and hopefully blend in unnoticed among them. Wearing masks and other disguises and blackening the face with soot were originally ways of hiding oneself from the spirits of the dead who might be roaming around. This is the origin of Halloween masquerading as devils, imps, ogres, and other demonic creatures.
THAT'S SOME CRAZY SHIT YO. Stupid people 'celebrating' something so dark, celebrating the sacrificing of humans, when everyone out there has no idea what the fuck is really going on... Ya. good call on bringing your kids out for that, walking amongst evil spirits.
You might as well have EVERY kid on earth have their personal Marilyn Manson sitting beside them for a whole day just saying "KILL KILL FUCK FUCK" every 5min. Just as effective, if not more expensive :D

upon further review, and discussion with several people....
it's time for me to lay low for awhile... i have definitely been too high strung lately, and i think i've gotten my point across to the right people. i am not one to hold grudges unless its warranted, but i aint losing a couple friends over my over reactions. i mean, if the 2nd and 3rd parties are totally oblivious of the fact that alot of it is their fault too, then yes we have a problem. but friends go through ups and downs all the time, and only the good ones stand by you after a good fight.
have i been left out lately? i'm sure i have been. why? i have no clue, i guess i'm boring or somethin... but repetitive shit in windsor.. 29park x 100000 isn't my bag of tea. go anywhere else, and i'll consider. hang out at someone's house? i'll be there. get a ps3? i'm your left brain for a weekend.
i have other things to stress about, so i'll just go ahead and worry about all that first.
thanks.
bye

| tornado in london? |
[26 Sep 2007|12:13am] |
i had to blog this b4 i attempt to sleep..
a small tornado touched down on our street.. i shit you not...
was surfing the net, ready for bed.. i hear a rumble and big time wind, sounded like thunder.. but i looked out the window, shit was flying around. not small stuff, big planks of wood.. our street is relatively new, so alot of houses being built. unfortunately for the one beside us... the wall frames that the construction ppl worked so hard on for like 3 days, were all blown down. and a stack of 6" x 11" probably 4 feet high was literally picked up and thrown in the middle of the street...
WHAT THE FUCK i say...
thought my car was hit with debris cuz i ran outside in the dark and rain seeing a huge board leaning hard against my new car. luckily it was a big slab of compressed insulation foam? but it was still pretty hard to get rid of cuz of the wind...
thank goodness it didn't hail or else i woulda been effed..
that's it for now. WHAT ARE THE CHANCES!!!!!

Less than 5 days left. The weekend will go by fast so that'll help ease the anticipation. Dealt with some minor hiccups finalizing everything, tying up loose ends, sometimes being OCD with perfection isn't a bad thing. Because luckily i checked alot of things... The lighting company totally effed up the labelling of which light goes where, the length of lights, etc. Ie. the eat in area light was so low, if i walked up to it, it would be at my ear.
I've just been having a bad couple weeks, dealing with so much in regards to workload, and other problems. I feel as if everyone is too busy to even talk to. The only way I can really express anything is through blogging. I still write (type) alot on a personal level, but that's just one way to relieve a bit of stress. No one reads it, just personal thoughts. The friends I have here in London, I don't think I'm ready to actually ask them for advice or talk about important things, it's still very superficial. So what it really boils down to, is me talking to myself alot. Sad ain't it?
Everyone's so caught up with end of summer functions, maximizing whatever time they have left, us working folk just don't have that luxury to unwind. I am definitely jealous. My whole group of friends is in Chicago while I had to stay here in London because I had to mediate a client product knowledge training session. I haven't been back in Windsor for close to 4-5 weeks, prolly the longest I've gone since I've come up here. I'm sick of people saying.. "wow, you're down AGAIN?" please put yourself in my shoes, go away from the city you were born and raised in and not come back for a duration of time.... then you'll understand.
I'm feeling a bit isolated, and I cannot remember the last time I was able to have a worry free weekend. Once I move into the new house, I'll be able to take nice long walks/jogs down the country side just to free the mind...
I know I'm old now because as time goes by, life filters your friends for you.. and only the good ones stay in touch with you.
For example. I haven't seen or hung out with my best friend Warren in prolly over a year. He came up with his wife last weekend because Dana had a provincial baseball tourney in the boonies.. We all stayed at a hotel friday nite, she left early in the morning on saturday to play ball.. I haven't seen the kid for the longest time, and it was like we hadn't skipped a beat. He talks to my parents like he would talk to me, we just hung out with my folks, went around town.. and ended up going down to the Thames River and pretty much spent some time talking, and throwing rocks into the water for a couple hours. You all probably think that's boring as hell, because everyone NEEDS to be at some establishment where you're seen or something.. It's not about the venue, it's the company that you have. The guy isn't my best friend for nothing, just a mutual understanding of life situations and respect for each other.
The only thing I'm gonna miss about this apartment is the view of the city scape. You can pretty much see the extremeties of london from north to south from the balcony. Once in awhile, some hot air balloons are launched which is a beautfiul sight in the evening sunset.
I just realized... This is the first summer I have failed to read the same book i've read for at least 8 years Islands in the Stream by Hemingway.. it's my summer book. and i'm gonna finish that up this weekend.
I should be a much happier person, but there are things and situations that just won't solve themselves and that's keeping me from myself.. Patience is wearing thin. Is it the lack of commitment? Who knows. It is my nature to doubt... and I dislike the feeling of uncertainty.
You can only give so much, before your will, hope and strength run out.
I think it's time for a vacation by myself. I am strongly considering going to the UK by myself to see my sister for at least a week. I miss her words of guidance and reassurance. Then a week on my own to roam England.
Sometimes being alone isn't all that bad. At least you know you won't let yourself down.

19 days left. less than 3 weeks......
plan of action:
i have already found a friend willing to donate a sweet assed old school casette boom box. we are going to either tape us screaming profanities, or have his band record some loud assed music... with this, we will CRANK UP THE VOLUME. leave it playing LATE INTO THE NIGHT against the wall of the apt beside us cuz the motherfuckers are loud as hell at nite time. it's on the parents side, so i don't usually hear em.
plan b. have a small party with a live band, play loud music for a good hour at prolly... 2am sound good? ya. then knocking on the neighbours door and ask them if they like the music. and if they don't. i say "well i don't like the fucking noise you make every night" anden.. anden.
wait. randy gave me a better idea. do it multiple nites. GREAT IDEA. we get the keys to the new house tuesday afternoon. we start moving tues eve. so i can leave the stereo going ALL NIGHT, then wed morning come back and get it.. move more stuff that day. and leave it playing FOR good, peacing out and never going back. I LOVES IT.
LESS THAN 3 FRIGGIN WEEKS TO GO. once we get the keys tuesday august 28. i don't care if i don't have a bed at the new house. i'm sleeping on the god damned floor. anything to get away from this hell hole.

[29 Jul 2007|10:30pm] |
1 month to go. 1 month left in this friggin apartment. this unit full of chinks, and weird folk. ppl that can't close a door without slamming it. stupid parents that can't control their kids walking down an effing hall, while they scream at the top of their lungs at 830am.
spent the past saturday, going back and forth from the house to teppermans, measuring this, and measuring that. finished up with house purchases, ended up with a neat looking set of furniture. the upholstery is like a blue similar to the darker strip that is used for the livejournal section at the top. and its very similar to cuordoroy.
they've put a lock on the door of the new house, which means things of value are about to be put in.. the drywalling is done, ceiling is being finished, primer should be painted this week, brick should be done as well.... i think next up is the flooring (ceramic and hardwood, carpet).
I CAN'T WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIT.
Long weekend comin up.. prolly gonna hit up Windsor. hope it'll turn out to be a relaxing time. but its never really relaxing, so much to do in so little time.

Album of the moment: Robin Thicke.
2nd album of the moment: John Legend.
Like i was tellin everyone this weekend... Robin Thicke is BETTER than Justin Timberlake.. Thicke's gotta more soul feel to his music, awesome R&B for sure. Justin Timberlake is all synthesized stuff, his music isn't the greatest, just some decent chart toppers... but his cd sucked compared to Robin Thicke's. John Legend's album was really refreshing. I didn't know what to expect since I've never heard anything by him until Leo suggested that I may like his stuff. Very... mellow music.
Weekends in windsor are always too short, time flies big time when i'm down there. Got down friday afternoon, all the sudden me n Siu are at Vangs, then biking/inline skating with Aenoi and Randy, then it's nite time already and we're helping Randy do up his bumper moulds for his go-kart. That was a late friggin nite. Saturday me n Siu hit up Golden Griddle for lunch (randomness at its best) then rested up before she dropped me off at Aenoi's. Watched a cool show called Man vs Wild for i dunno how long, first time watching Tv in a long while. Liquor/Grocery shopped... and all the sudden.. it's close to 9 when Randy rolls in, Sunny's there, and we wait for Leo and Siu. Good times on the Chansavang deck, bbq, boozins, liquor lighting, topped off by a long walk up the Banwell Hill with a couple of the closest homies i got, staring at the awesome city scape and stars... WOW. That was definitely one of those nights you remember after a long summer. Definitely needed that relaxation after a very trying work week.
A couple days of hardcore work, and we're off to TO for our long awaited double date with Aileen n Martin. FRIGGIN YESSSSSS!
