bill gates' office

now maybe it's just me but if your the richest man in the world one would assume that your office would look a little less, bland?

so apple finally did it

they just released a patch so that windows can run on intel based macs. personally i don't have a problem with them running the obviously inferior windows OS but the problem i have is that it seems like it's supposed to be a selling point for people to buy macs. my personal assessment is that if you don't get it you just don't get it. apple is a business and improving on the bottom line is fine but why not try and strong arm the comp by taking some of their market share away by offering what they can't. eh, but that's just me and my opinion.

now if they could come out with the next gen ipod video so i can dream freely again.

the white stripes new video feat. conan o'brian

sometimes we sit around in the ldef office* here talking* about video treatments for certain songs. had we actually talked about a treatment for this song -- treatment being the "correct" term because of countless making the video viewing -- denial twist is actually cooler than what we* would have come up with.

call me heathcliff bitch (c) Phonte

yesterday while testing my news cramming skills from my now 3 favorite sources (Google News, TailRank and NetNewsWire) I came across some quotes from 'ol Mr. Huxtable himself, Dr. Bill Cosby, in which he was talking to 2,000 New Orleans residents about rebuilding titled via Reuters Bill Cosby tells New Orleans black to reject crime.

now i'm all for free speech and stand whole heartedly behind people taking responsibility but DAAAAAM Cosby. it seems that his latest hobby is venom laced hatred to anyone who bootstraps haven't already been permanently attached to their upward mobile hands. it's a little too late to get full stop into this and this isn't a situation where i felt that he was pointing out something trivial minus tack. the problem that i've have ('specially since i grew up in middle class cosbyville) is statements without actions. sure he's put a shitload of black kids through college and spoonfed white america the concept that we all weren't good times'n it but somewhere in his old age he decided to stir the pot up to no avail. maybe it was his son's death or maybe after all of that work he feels that he won't see a change before his last breath... dunno but either way it's counterproductive and simply fueling the fox news crowd.

like i said it's a little late here and i've spent the day pulling myself up from my bootstraps (c) booker t. so i won't swear to a coherent content in this post but the shit really got under my skin.

anyhoo tomorrow is wifey's bday (to which she swears is horrible because she's getting sooo old) so grattis på din födelsedag min älskling :-D vi måste prata mer svenka!

and they're thinking about pressing charges? I guess we live in a batman world with joker villians.

Gnarls Barkley

it seems that they broke a record by being the first song to go number one, on british charts, from downloads only. besides the song being ill i guess that myspace marketing is starting to pay off guess j*davey should be more than ready right about now.

Birthdays are fun!!!

said my ever-so-perfect goddaughter when i called her with a congrads for reaching the almighty number 7. she went on to tell me that she wore her birthday hat to school :-D at 11.30 at night and über groggy my face lit up and she continued to tell me how she looooved birthdays etc. i'm still smiling.

Godfather update: rank - capo

My video game life of crime is starting to pay off and i'm getting more and more impressed with their well thought out storylines within this game. they stick to the movie's script but intelligently expand on things that are taken for granted in the movie. the theme song is stuck in my head in all it's variations.

she stopped paying her cable bill yay!

over the last 10 or so years i've become a bitter man because people are doing things that i was forced to do growing up.

your a vegetarian, wow!!! I didn't eat meat until i was 15. people couldn't pronounce the word back then and when you explained it they would would ask curiously stupid questions like: "soooo, what DO you eat?" *blank stare* now it's the Thing and vegetarians talk with faux self assuredness as to how much smarter they are and to think of all the cow families that are together because of them.

another one of many is not watching tv. i wasn't allowed to watch even the cosby show growing up though tv's where owned in the houses i lived. nothing. my great plan was to listen to the plots of shows in one class and respond in the next class. *sigh* well i was on tailrank and noticed this big deal (though i do respect it) of this lady deciding to turn off her cable bill.

I'm a made man!

nothing much going on here at the ldef office folks i'm hoping that today the true signs of spring can kick in and make my life a little warmer. my latest addictions have been daxter for psp which i'm entitled to state is the best game i've played on the psp. my other addiction(s) has been obsessively reorganizing my computer (my new desktop picture above) and playing the godfather (c) title. i've been approaching looking for a job in a more 'direct' way by calling up companies and telling the point blank that they need to hire me, i'll let you know how that comes out.

i went to see the swedish premire of inside man on monday night and officially flushed spike down the toilet. he needs to move to cananda or something to get his mojo back and the needless forcing of race related issues... meh.

god only knows (c) the Beach Boys

this song is my new obsession, along with netnewswire, thanks to big love which affirms my conviction that life as a pologimst is the farthest thing from dope. sopranos was ridic and yesterday i spent my free time in class preaching about born in brothels

born into brothels

this weekend i finally saw last year's docu oscar winner and was blown away, or should i say that something blew into my eyes along the way. those kids were some of the most photogenic kids i've ever seen and the way that they pulled you into the store was amazing. it's scary to know that there are kids, right now, living with so little options. *sigh*

i also saw the smartest guys in the room and the pure evil that greed breeds scared the shit out of me. it's hard to comprehend how people can't accept enough as enough. enron actual caused the cali blackouts of 2000? to make money? that's nightmarishly creepy.

short shorts

- i'm taking intensive swedish classes with chris

- i'm starting to shit swedish

- i'm happy 3 6 won the oscar, shit they were happy so why shouldn't i be?

- i had to stay up damn near all night to watch the oscars, damn cali time

- my psp and have been spending lots of quality time together lately, thanks mph (whoever that is)

- my news addiction is getting kinda out of hand lately, i'm going to work on that

- the pistons are the best in the league so why don't i get any congrads emails from anyone? haters.

- saw ess vee about 2 weeks ago, right after the funeral and they killed it. perfect breath control and they destroyed the audience

- it really needs to stop snowing

yesterday was apple's "big" announcement and if you've been a trusty reader of this here blahg then you'd know of the ldef's staff's full appreciate and cult like worship well yesterday they didn't really amaze many. they announced that there is a new intel based mac mini but it lacks a tv in (which allows you to record) and the price went up. that kills off the hope that the intel move would lower prices on mac machines and removes me from one who's going to spring for a mini to replace everything but the tv at the ldef headquarters... they also announcement an ipod hi fi ($349) which had me hit the snooze button not to mention a $99 leather ipod case i.e. fuck that. i my honest opinion they used up some of their wow capital in that boring announcement yesterday though i'd put money on 'BIG' changes for their april fools day 30th anniversary changes. i would like to see a full screen video ipod and cheaper intel based ibook.

in totally unrelated news i read touching this article on the last days of jay dee.

my power animal

does anyone know how to stop your power animal from eating up stuff in your dreams? i'm kinda tired of seeing bite marks in my dreams and little pieces floating around. also i think that my power animal has an overbite and if you know of a good power animal vet/dentist please refer me to them.

thank you.

the brokeback theory

brokeback mountain destroys the white male's last bastion of masculinity, the cowboy. if you were to ask any male over the age of 50 what picture pops up in his head as heterosexual masculinity at it's peak you'd hear things like john wanye and clint eastwood characters'. they'd tell you of watching some movie in the theater where the main characters rode off into the sunset with his trusted companion. with the introduction of brokeback mountain one can no longer assume that the hero cowboy and his companion's sunset trips to the wild, for months at a time, allot that they're only riding horses.

funny 'learn english' commercials

this and this one.

let me know what you think.

i was looking through my old blog

and came on this piece of ldef advice pre 2004 elections:

Thursday, 9 September 2004


I've decided to help Christan's out and hurry along the Second Coming. I mean, you've been going to church doing all this damn good but still no blazing trumpets and squashed evildoers. vote for Bush. He'll speed up the last days and take away all religious rights, basically any rights (for security reasons of course) enacting a worldwide government in which, according to Revelations, will bring about the end of the world the POW! your in heaven butt naked with a pet lion and gold sidewalks. damn I'm smart. VOTE for Bush!

btw God told me that, he tells me things all the time (football is his favorite sport btw) because he knows I will vote for bush.

your welcome

blue rose

today is vday in the ldef head office and i've sprung the high, high price of $2.95 for CNN's Pipeline. since we don't have CNN here i thought that it would be a helpful thing to be able to see live broadcasting and i'm quite happy about this choice. 'specially since menace to society dick cheney of the white house crips blastfest is a very great source of live feeds. they just announced that the 78 multimillionaire lawyer that got blasted had a heart attack... one of the doctors said that 'heart attack' is a 'lay man' term and this was what's called a soft heart attack" hammy. Dude even got irritated stating that he was smarter than everyone there and obviously couldn't handle the pressure of having the press ask him or his associate questions which annoy his smartnesstivity.

i really enjoy this.

Blastmaster Cheney

you've probably heard the staff here at ldef refer to vp dick cheney in various negative terms such as "satan". welp satan moved up in my book, just a little bit ahead of stalin, with the news reports of his shotgun action while "hunting" this weekend :-) dear readers it seems that satan reads this blog and took to heart the dueling post. keep up the good work cheney and somebody keep him armed please.
