Why is It OK for Rappers to Abate Our Dignity?

Ok. I had to find a thesaurus for that title, but don’t let my pretentiousness repel you from this discussion.

One of the things that has always bothered me about a LOT of rappers (even the ones I like) is this recurring theme of kidnapping and/or swag-notyzing YOUR girl (or you, if you’re the object of affection, here) away from her otherwise-beloved man, John Q. Listener. Obviously it goes way deeper than just romanticizing the coronary thievery, and even gets downright disrespectful on many a thugged-out occasion, but it seems that the theme is pretty well maintained if you look around The Game. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

On Talking to Brick Walls

...but it was so on-point though!

The people you thoroughly and accurately criticize are never your audience when you write, vlog, do stand-up, or vent to your closest friends about your frustrations with jack-asses in this world.

Years ago, I used to think that some of the most scathingly-poignant criticisms aimed at the trolls, xenophobes, homophobes, sexists, racists, classists, jerks, dicks, and unreasonably emotional bitches actually hit home with those people, possibly being the snowflake that caused an avalanche of epiphany and reform for even the most staunch of the lot.

Oh, how much I’ve learned. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

I Like Seeing People’s Eyes

Something that bothers me about living in LA, and it being the summertime: Everybody wears ‘protective eyewear’. Now, really, it’s bright in Cali, no doubt. However, I just didn’t think that it was ever so bad that people had to not only cover their eyeballs, but also their eye SOCKETS entirely, plus some. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Just When I Thought It Was Safe…

I tried to come up with a little quick post to let you know that I was [thinking of] dusting off ET. Yeah, I know, I’d need a vacuum. Shut up.

It was just my luck that there was a ComicPress update that I retardedly just clicked on without thinking. So…here’s a lesson that I haven’t learned yet:

When ComicPress has an update…DON’T UPDATE UNLESS YOU WANT TO SPEND THE NEXT 4 HOURS FIXING YOUR SITE AGAIN!!!

I mean, really though. I’m so sick of diving into CSS and PHP just because I want to post a quick update. This ordeal has really driven home the idea that I need help with this site. Unless I decide to use this as my primary project outside of work (which, um…nah), then I gotta partner up. Sucks, because wooing somebody’ll probably be just as much work as actually just posting stuff myself for a few weeks.

Ugh. Welcome back…?

Google Blah Blah Privacy Blah

So everybody is up in arms about the Google privacy policy thing and how it’s robbing people of their supposed privacy. Look, shut up. Unless you’re going to change your search/watch/browse/social networking behavior after today, then you’re not really doing anything by removing all of your previous web search history, and you’re damn sure not doing anything by complaining about it.

I don’t feel like being a proper blogger today, so I’m not going in-depth about this. I just wanted to voice my opinion and leave it at that. Everybody keeps crying about changes. Sounds to me like the tech generation is getting old and crotchety to me.

SHUT UP and ADAPT.

*grumble grumble….murmur*
