Miscellany, medly, melange, mishmash, mixed bag

1. I decided that white people acting and talking like rappers is really damn played out. Simply saying "Fo' shizzle" should not constitute a joke in itself. By now everyone knows that white suburbia is where anyone in the music industry makes money, so there's no need for white people who like rap to continue to do so ironically, just so others won't think they're trying to be black. We can all appreciate rappers' lyrical mastery of misogyny in earnest now. Of course, after deciding this, I realized that my own weblog here had traces of this tired humor. Hence the changes.

Just ignore #1. It doesn't make any sense. I was hacked off because I'd just seen another Jamie Kennedy movie commercial. ---matt, 4.27.03

2. It always aggravates me when one of the fellas falls into the void of the long-term girlfriend. Running around, trying to please her, centering your entire life around her nexus--it doesn't seem like much fun. Then again, needing porn to help you go to sleep at night isn't exactly a blast, either.

3. Speaking of porn, fake boobs just aren't what they used to be. Every time I see a pair, I wonder what they looked like before they got stuffed into rigidity. Would girls watch more porn if male pornstars weren't so sleazy?

4. The new Flaming Lips EP is so good; it may be better than the new Radiohead album, provided what I downloaded illegally a few weeks ago is the actual album. Nick told me that what leaked onto the net wasn't the final cut, and the record will probably sound much different once it's remastered. I'm hoping so. Even though the album I downloaded wasn't bad, it just wasn't up to their standards. Then again, it took quite a while for Kid A to grow on me.

5. I can't figure out if toaster ovens are really fucking cool or just retarded.

6. I started playing Tetris again. There are so many metaphors for life one can draw from that game. I think I'll start compiling a list. Feel free to chip in.

Same goes for down here
