Chingylovababy17 (4:01 PM): YOU CAN'T HEAR ME SHOUTING OR CAN YOU? Shad (4:01 PM): Makes you wonder, doesn't it... Chingylovababy17 (4:03 PM): SHUT UP and just answer my damn question Shad (4:05 PM): So, am I to assume correctly then, that by you saying "sup shay shay", and then asking me my a/s/l, that you DON'T know who I am? Wow...so, does that mean, you IM every strange person with "sup shay shay"?...very very odd... Chingylovababy17 (4:05 PM): SHUT THE FUCK UP STUPID ASS MOTHERFUCKER Shad (4:07 PM): I guess it could further be postulated that you're an ignorant ghetto gangsta wanna-be who can only resort to foul languge when forced to face the fact that he (or she maybe) is a dork? Chingylovababy17 (4:07 PM): are you white or black? Shad (4:08 PM): Are you green or blue? Shad (4:08 PM): Personally, I don't think race matters... Shad (4:08 PM): there's equal amounts of dorks in all classes... Chingylovababy17 (4:09 PM): you are white by the way white stupid ass motherfuckas act Shad (4:09 PM): Could be, very well could be. Shad (4:09 PM): But, then, you must be black by the way black stupid ass mutherfuckas act, eh?

Shad (4:13 PM): Ooooh, a joke it was...then let me ask you this my Puerto-Rican-mixed-with-black friend....do you pick up the phone, dial a random number, then say "sup shay shay" to whoever answers the phone? Shad (4:13 PM): and then expect them to give you their a/s/l, and get all upset when they don't? Chingylovababy17 (4:15 PM): look now i am not upset because yo damn ass didnt answer my question, i think yo white ass didnt understand my question! Shad (4:16 PM): what, you don't think I understood "WHAT IS YOUR NAME" and "A/S/L"? Chingylovababy17 (4:16 PM): i think yo white ass didnt Shad (4:17 PM): I understood perfectly well. I simply chose not to answer, and instead, pissed you off enough to start cursing at me... Shad (4:17 PM): Which was my whole point really... Shad (4:18 PM): Because it's been awhile since I'd gotten a good "A/S/L" IM from anyone.... Shad (4:18 PM): and I like to cut and paste these and send them to my friends... Shad (4:18 PM): They're fun to laugh about. Shad (4:18 PM): So congratulations! You're the new "A/S/L" Celebrity!!! Chingylovababy17 (4:18 PM): i dont giva a fuck what you do to them Chingylovababy17 (4:19 PM): wow i feel so speacial ----bitch Shad (4:19 PM): Yes! Yes!! Keep going! Shad (4:19 PM): it only gets better Chingylovababy17 (4:20 PM): look now im not playin with yo dumb white ass leave me the fuck alone Shad (4:20 PM): Well, again, you're the one who started with me, right? So I'm just playing along. This was a joke, don't you recall? Shad (4:20 PM): And hey, at least you're keeping me amused! Shad (4:20 PM): Chingylovababy17 (4:21 PM): just the greeting not everything was a joke stupid ass! Shad (4:21 PM): Oh, that's what YOU think.... Shad (4:21 PM): it's been QUITE the joke Shad (4:21 PM): very amusing!
This one just went in circles. I seem to be getting cruder as well. I need to get some new material to throw at these clowns...

Naturally, one of the main "hot topics" for today is Janet Jackson's Peek-a-Boob "faux-pas" during the Super Bowl halftime show. Obviously, the media has had a field day, with all sorts of articles hyping on the "accidental" exposure that Justin Timberlake caused by ripping off the right part of her bodice.
What amuses me is that this was supposed to be an accident. This wasn't staged, and everyone involved is apologizing up and down for it. But geez, wasn't anyone watching? At the end, when Timberlake had his hand wrapping around Janet's waist, and then slid up, grabbed the material and pulled? Sure, she looked surprised, but maybe she's just a good actress. Or maybe Timberlake was seeing if it really was Janet, and not her brother Michael. Regardless, I have to think it was staged...mostly because most women I know don't wear a nipple shield under their clothes. (Link is NOT safe for work, children, small dogs, etc...) You'll also notice in the picture that the outfit Ms. Jackson is wearing has snaps in the bra cups. Convenient, eh?
Oh, and she has a new single coming out as well...and according to the press release, it's spreading "like wildfire". Funny, considering the timestamp on the article shows that it was published even before the game was over.
Coincidence? I think not. Staged? Most likely...
Other than that bit of excitement, the weekend over all was good. Aside from the afore mentioned Super Bowl party at Jeff and Marcia's, the kids and I had a lock-in at the YMCA Saturday night with the Indian Guides (or, as known now, the Adventure Guides. Apparently, honoring the Native American way of life, and reverence to all things nature wasn't "politically correct" so they had to change the name. Now, instead of "Great Spirit" it's "The Creator's...". But I digress...). We basically had the run of the place from closing until the next morning. We swam in the pool (or the kids did at least), shot baskets in the gym, watched movies, and ran around acting like idiots. Good fun! As a bonus, Gail managed to have a "girls night out" with some friends. They went to dinner, and a movie and had a great time. She was so happy and relaxed when we got home Sunday morning. I'll have to try and make sure she has more evenings like that.
I'm going to have to get used to writing in a journal/blog again. I kinda fell off of writing long entries like I used to, as it seemed the LiveJournal just wasn't really the place for it all. I currently have my own account, but I've always seen LJ as more of a "see what I've got" as opposed to "here's what's going on in my life" type of stage. There are several others who use it to spill out the details of their life, and that's fine. I will be keeping it, but I think just for the ability to post in other's journals, as well as placing the odd link now and then.
Oh, and I like my LJ Icon, so I have to keep that too.
I'm still working on getting the site to look the way I want, as well as getting used to pMachine as a journaling tool. Then there's the website I'm trying to do for my friend Marcia's work. And my other website, Harleyroads (which is currently in the garage for a tune up, and has been for months now. How embarrassing...). I also want to try my hand at "modding"...I've been surfing the Bit-Tech forums for weeks now, and want to get my hands dirty.
And speaking of getting my hands dirty, every time I watch American Chopper, I want to go weld/grind/build/paint/throw stuff around. I need a hobby that doesn't involve computers, and something that requires using a welding torch sounds like good fun to me!
One of the things I've decided I need to do is to follow through on some of my ideas, complete projects in a decent amount of time, and generally get things done. I've been wanting to try modding my own PC case, and have been reading forums and how-to's, and I've even gone so far as to strip a case I had lying around down to the bare bones. But I haven't ever bothered to start the actual work.
The reason I bring this up is because of a site I recently saw. The Mushroom House is the creation of a guy (aptly named "Zube") who came up with the idea in the late '70s. It's an incredible piece of work, with detail that's just astounding. The house itself, interior and exterior, reminds me of a hobbit hole, and the whole "nature" motif is carried throughout the house.
Obviously Zube (I love saying that name) must have had an incredible passion, for this took 22 years to complete. The only thing I've done for 22 years is breathe. I'd like to have this kind of determination and desire to have such a vision, and decide to do it, however out of this world the idea might seem.
In celebration of this, I bring to you the LOTR Survival tips
Stand up halfway through the movie and yell loudly, "Wait...where the hell is Harry Potter?"
Block the entrance to the theater while screaming: "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" - After the movie, say "Lucas could have done it better."
At some point during the movie, stand up and shout: "I must go! Middle Earth needs me!" and run and try to jump into the screen. After bouncing off, return quietly to your seat.
Play a drinking game where you have to take a sip every time someone says: "The Ring."
Point and laugh whenever someone dies.
Ask the nearest ring-nut if he thinks Gandalf went to Hogwarts
Finish off every one of Elrond's lines with "Mr. Anderson."
When Aragorn is crowned king, stand up and at the top of your lungs sing, "And I did it....MY way...!"
At the end, complain that Gollum was offensive to Ethiopians
Talk like Gollum all through the movie. At the end, bite off someone's finger and fall down the stairs.
When Shelob appears, pinch the guy in front of you on the back of the neck.
Dress up as old ladies and reenact "The Battle of Helms Deep" Monty Python style.
When Denethor lights the fire, shout "Barbecue!"
Ask people around you who they think is the next "Terminator" sent from the Middle Earth of the future to assassinate Frodo Baggins
In The Two Towers, when the Ents decide to march to war, stand up and shout "RUN FOREST, RUN!"
Every time someone kills an Orc, yell: "That's what I'm Tolkien about!" See how long it takes before you get kicked out of the theatre.
During a wide shot of a battle, inquire, "Where's Waldo?"
Talk loudly about how you heard that there is a single frame of a nude Elf hidden somewhere in the movie.
Start an Orc sing-a-long.
Come to the premiere dressed as Frankenfurter and wander around looking terribly confused.
If you've been using computers for any amount of time, along with the Internet, you've inevitably run across the "Windows vs. Mac (or Linux)" argument. All sides have created[1]websitesdedicated to how much a particular OS sucks, but honestly, what's the point?
I, personally, use all three systems. I have Win 98 and XP, RedHat Linux, and am typing this using my Mac Powerbook on OS X 10.2.8. Simply put, I use what works best for what I want to do.
The reason I brought this up was because of a recent article in the online version of PC Mag (Not sure if it's in the print version). The author started the article with "I know this is wrong....". If you're going to start a nationally syndicated article with those five words, perhaps you should stop right there. Basically this article is a big "nee ner nee ner" to Mac users.
Pathetic.
I did find a nice response over at The Register. At least this author seems to have a head on his shoulders.
[1] I tried to go to macsucks.com/net/org, but it was currently down. Wonder if it was running on Windows servers. KIDDING!
This particular person seems to IM me quite a bit, persistently, even after I've flat out told her to stop IM'ing me...
JuelzBallerGirl6 (9:23:07 PM): wat up Shad (9:23:22 PM): You're IM'ing me again... Shad (9:23:26 PM): you must stop JuelzBallerGirl6 (9:23:27 PM): yea Shad (9:23:28 PM): now JuelzBallerGirl6 (9:23:32 PM): y Shad (9:23:35 PM): or you're going to make me start twitching JuelzBallerGirl6 (9:23:45 PM): twitching Shad (9:23:50 PM): and when I start twitching, I have to take my medicine... Shad (9:23:53 PM): but I'm out Shad (9:23:56 PM): and the store is closed JuelzBallerGirl6 (9:24:01 PM): no Shad (9:24:01 PM): and I don't want to twitch JuelzBallerGirl6 (9:24:09 PM): please stay Shad (9:24:09 PM): bad things happen when I start to twitch Shad (9:24:14 PM): so stop IM'ing me Shad (9:24:16 PM): Now. JuelzBallerGirl6 (9:24:17 PM): bad things like Shad (9:25:37 PM): Milk turns sour. Leaves fall dead off trees. Bread turns moldy. Michael Jackson is found innocent....bad, Bad Things! JuelzBallerGirl6 (9:25:47 PM): LOL
What was funny was she stopped IMing me :)
I also found a couple of interesting words/definitions in the dictionary tonight. For instance:
sesquipedalian: A long word (No kidding!) antinovel: A fictional work that lacks traditional elements of the novel, such as coherent plot structure or realistic character development.
Does that mean the definition of antimusic would have a picture of Britany Spears or Justin Timberlake next to it?
I feel like I was hit upside the head with a moldy sack of potatoes after this one...
SHADIQ107 (3:31:42 PM): Have you read the street book NO EXIT? Shad (3:31:58 PM): No. Who are you? SHADIQ107 (3:32:53 PM): shadiq I'am promoting the book NO EXIT. It's about NEWARK Shad (3:33:10 PM): And why are you IM'ing me about it? SHADIQ107 (3:33:42 PM): So you can get it. Shad (3:33:56 PM): What makes you think I'd want to read about Newark of all things? SHADIQ107 (3:34:54 PM): It's a real good book and it's informative information. Shad (3:35:29 PM): Everything I've wanted to know about Newark, eh? Shad (3:36:00 PM): About the only thing I'm interested in Newark would be where the bypasses are, so I don't have to go to Newark SHADIQ107 (3:36:45 PM): Not like that but it puts you right there in the story. SHADIQ107 (3:37:13 PM): And Newark isn't that bad! Shad (3:37:17 PM): And what story would that be? SHADIQ107 (3:37:36 PM): Get the book SHADIQ107 (3:38:18 PM): Amazon.com. Look at the cover. SHADIQ107 (3:39:05 PM): NO EXIT Alsaadiq Banks Shad (3:41:30 PM): Is this some new sort of Marketing technique? Pick some random screen name, IM them and try to sell a book? Shad (3:41:44 PM): Could've at least made it interesting or something... Shad (3:41:51 PM): But a book about Newark? SHADIQ107 (3:43:42 PM): No. Your name popped on my buddy list, and Newark is interesting. Shad (3:44:16 PM): So, why'd you put me on your buddy list then, just to talk about this book about Newark? Shad (3:44:42 PM): Coulda picked a better city, like New York or something...that might have been more interesting to talk about. SHADIQ107 (3:44:56 PM): Newark is the largest city in N.J Shad (3:45:41 PM): Well, I'm happy for it then SHADIQ107 (3:46:34 PM): Well I live in Newark and as I said I'am promoting the book about Newark the story was interesting. Shad (3:47:07 PM): Isn't this where we started? SHADIQ107 (3:48:11 PM): I thought others would like to read a book that was real and not fake as other books that are out there right know. Shad (3:48:46 PM): There's other books that are fake?? Shad (3:48:52 PM): What's a fake book look like? Shad (3:49:23 PM): Does it dress like a book, but it's really a TV Dinner? SHADIQ107 (3:51:13 PM): A fake book is a book that its contents are fiction. Someone just sat there and made it up. But this book where real experiences that people in newark experience everyday. That's what makes it a real book. Shad (3:53:33 PM): So, something like Harry Potter isn't a real book.... Shad (3:53:41 PM): is that what you're saying? SHADIQ107 (3:54:11 PM): Harry Potter is real if you beleive in magic. But most people do not beleive in magic. Shad (3:54:52 PM): So, if one doesn't believe in magic, then Harry Potter is not a real book, is what you're saying... Shad (3:55:15 PM): So while I don't believe in magic, this big ass, 700lbs book sitting on the table here isn't real? Shad (3:55:23 PM): It's just a figment of my imagination? Shad (3:55:29 PM): Am I hallucinating? Shad (3:55:33 PM): Whoa... Shad (3:55:41 PM): wonder what else isn't real around here... SHADIQ107 (3:56:49 PM): Reality is what is real to you. No the book in a phgysical from makes it real because you can see it or touch it. But its contents, meaning whatthe author worte does not have to be real experiences. The book No Exit is real experiences and real in form. Shad (3:58:17 PM): So, then back to the real question, WHY did you IM ME about this book, that I have absolutly NO interest in? SHADIQ107 (3:59:33 PM): Well how do you know you don't have interest in it if you have not read it. It might be interesting. Don't judge a book by its cover or title. Shad (4:04:31 PM): How about by it's marketing promotion? SHADIQ107 (4:06:04 PM): You where not marketed through a mailing list. When you signed on your name came on my computer. I wanted to know who you were and see if you would be interested in a book. Shad (4:07:34 PM): Seems to me if you wanted to know who I was, you might have said something like, oh say "Who's this?" Or "Hi, your name appeared on my buddy list, do I know you?" instead of "Have you read the street book NO EXIT?" SHADIQ107 (4:08:45 PM): O.K. you have a valid point. but stop beating a dead horse. Dis you read the book? HA! SHADIQ107 (4:09:27 PM): did you read the book. Shad (4:10:08 PM): You think after all that, I've actually read the book? Shad (4:10:11 PM): That's funny... Shad (4:10:25 PM): But in case all the sarcasm went by you earlier, No, I have not read the book Shad (4:10:32 PM): Nor do I plan on reading the book Shad (4:10:36 PM): There, does that help? SHADIQ107 (4:11:00 PM): Yes, it does Help? You have a nice life. Shad (4:11:20 PM): I imagine I will, thank you very much.... SHADIQ107 (4:11:39 PM): LOL
I've been known to do a stupid thing or two. I broke my wrist once showing off for a girl. I've tried seeing how far I can ski with my eyes closed.
But I surpassed myself yesterday.
Remember in the last entry I said I had basically the rest of the year off? LOTS of time to get stuff done, such as shopping?
Guess what I did yesterday, Saturday afternoon.
I went shopping.
It was without a doubt the STUPIDEST thing I've done in a long, long time. After spending 3 hours threading my way through crowds, trying to find stuff that was no longer available, being accosted by every salesperson available, I decided it was time to leave. Empty handed.
And then it took me 45 minutes to get out of the parking lot.
I came home, and finished my shopping online. Why I didn't do that before, I have no idea. Maybe I had some "Need to live the WHOLE holiday experience" sort of wish.
