YOU ARE THE PROTOTYPE
it's the most luxurious trip on earth, luscious, with another slickified literary love ball for your hoop of passion. sitting here in my love train on my plush periwinkle couch, sipping on a mango echinacea smoothie i came across a trailer for a movie film called "the losers". in this trailor there was a sexy little love pot named aisha kicking booty and taking names. i was intrigued. my juicy fruit ripened under her sol-full glow. i just had to know who this ingenue that so had my genue on? one word: zoe saldana. we at DIUU are butt crazy in lust with her. why doesn't everyone look like zoe? oh, yeah, my trailor review the movie also has idris elba (the wire, daddy's little girls, rock n' rolla), jeffery dean morgan (watchmen, grey's anatomy), jason patric (in the valley of ellah, narc) and columbus short (cadillac records, stomp the yard) and likes like quite the romp. i know drew and DARK are gonna see it. me too, but only for zoe saldana...

... for i have sinned
i don't know if i ever told you guys this, but in my many adventures, i became acquainted with one of the members of the raleigh, nc sleeper cell. fret not, oh faithful followers. my contact with the individual (then known as dylan boyd, though he has reportedly adopted an islamic name) ended long before (or at least that's what i assume) he became involved with any guerilla organizations. though i make no judgments against him or defenses of his character, i'll let the justice system decide his innocence or guilt, i did find proof positive of our acquaintanceship: an email from 2004, the year we met:
sup homie?

hey dude. Its Dylan...Holla at cha boy if u can!
though i shutter to think that a man i once called friend could be involved in any plot to kill innocent people, i will not deny prior contact with him. whatever choices he made in his life are his and his alone. he knew the risks involved and no must face the consequences. as far as i know nobody's ever put a gun to his head and made him do anything. and if he was somehow coerced into joining such a misguided cause, then here's hoping the US penal system sorts it out.
this is for your own good
ummm... not sure how to blog about this. let's just say that the next time you find yourself on the short end of a situation, or that last match goes out before you can light that fire on a cold night, or the resistance blows up your space station of evil, or you fall to your doom in that ravine over there (you know the one), or she kisses him instead of you, or your mom makes you eat her smelly slime ballesque brussels sprouts, click here. oh, and be sure to do what the little chinese girl in "rush hour" says
"the wire" comes true in va
normally i myself would bless y'all w/ my take on crazy ass shit in the world. but for this occasion i thought it would be nice to let y'all hear a more seasoned writers take. this is rare, me doing deference and that, so pay the hell attention to what ms. jameson has to say!
Shooting At Church

A brazen shooting inside a Richmond, California churches got me to thinking about my favorite TV show ever, “The Wire.” If you haven’t heard the story, it’s unimaginable. Police are still looking for the men who stormed into a church Sunday and opened fire. Two teens were injured during the attack.
When I heard about it, I immediately thought about the episode of “The Wire,” when the Barksdale crew tried to kill Omar. He was taking his grandmother to church when gunmen opened fire and shot the hat off his grandmother’s head.
Omar was stunned, telling his crew:
“…For as long as I been grown, once a month I been with her on a church Sunday, telling myself ain’t no need to worry, ’cause ain’t nobody in this city that lowdown to disrespect a Sunday morning!”
oh, and here's that scene, you know, if you ain't up on your "the wire" lore...
and this is the aftermath...
street law: don't fuck with a n-word on a sunday morning. that's just foul.

snow = cold. cold = AL GORE'S A BIG FAT STUPID!!!
even if you've been living under a rock for the past week, you are surely aware of two things: 1) you need to upgrade your living arrangements, and 2) it's F'N COLD! there is a record blizzard everywhere! i mean, where is the liberal premier, his scienciness al gore, and his global warming when we need it, am i right?! am i right?!?!
it's like right now. you see it's dark out. so therefore i must conclude that the sun will never again come out. i know that that's true because the sun isn't out right now. i also know that this means that there is not a place on this planet where the sun is it. if the sun is indeed out somewhere than why can't i see it? huh? HUH? riddle me THAT, batman!!!
it's like today, you know, before the sun left us forever i didn't see any birds or bees so i am certain, and i do mean doubtless that birds and bees have gone extinct. right now my nose itches, therefore non itchy noses are a myth. the phone is off, so the theory of telecommunication is false. i'm laying flat, therefore the world is flat. i see a red headed lady, so all ladies must have red hair, thus disproving blond and brunette. i can't see my sister, therefore i don't have a sister.
it's cold but it's not snowing here, so there must be no such thing as snow. but it is cold, so global warming? false, am i right?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
well, kemosabe, i hate to break it to you but you're wrong. cold dead, under a rock, and wrong to top it off. also, before i continue, good luck President Goodluck Johnathon of Nigeria (more to come later. now back to your regularly scheduled blog rant)
this, friends, is a logical flaw. the exact flaw present in this group of arguments is the same of that asserted by our conservative blab-o-nauts ® about global warming. the word is that because they are all snowed in their conserv-o-lairs® (i can only assume some reagan shaped cave-lab, sponsored by big corporate, in the middle of one of the great lakes) that al gore is a big stupid head who lied about global warming. let me repeat: they said "BECAUSE MY TUSHY IS COLD, GLOBAL WARMING IS A LIE!"
there are two names for this flaw. name one (what we'll be using) is the proof by example fallacy. also known as an inappropriate generalization, the proof by example fallacy says that because x is true and x is apart of set A than what's true of x is true of A. i know it sounds reasonable, but here's an example of this fallacy: it rains in the sahara desert, deserts are dry, so the sahara is not a desert. here's another one: gravity, if it exists, holds things down. birds fly. birds are things, therefore gravity doesn't exist. oh you need one more? a red delicious is red, a red delicious is an apple, therefore all apples are red.
what do we know? we know that the sahara is a desert with a dry climate, we know that gravity exists, and we know that apples come in many different colors. the mistake is made when you mistake the characteristics of part of a whole for the whole, saying silly things like the sahara isn't a desert because it rained occur.
the same can be said for climate change. when you mistakenly attribute a weather event in a small part of the planet as the barometer for the climactic trends of the whole planet you get republiphiles like limbaugh and becky saying "i'm cold, so global warming is a lie". saying a blizzard in the northeastern US disproves global warming is like saying that a lady smacking you proves that all women are violent. it doesn't correlate that way. people like faux, erm , fox news and limbaugh will take any opportunity to swipe at so called liberal ideals, despite facts. here are the facts:
FACT global warming is a global climactic process that is taking place over years and decades, and has occured before.
FACT the 2000's were the hottest decade on record, causing unparralled melting of the ice caps, record breaking storms, and (yes) record snowfall.
FACT the right has a history of politicizing the non-political
in conclusion, don't you fall for the bull chucking and mud slinging coming out of the right in the wake of this blizzard. after all, we know that since you're not in washington that means it doesn't exist. unless you are, in which case i don't exist because you can't see me. either way you're probably right. you can crawl back under your rock now.

because i'm bored....
... here are a few of the responses i've made to posts on creative loafing :)... :(

i agree whole heartedly. this movie was by far shyamalan's worse (which is saying a lot in the post "village" world) it went beyond fantasy. it went beyond suspending disbelief. it went beyond the absurd. it even went beyond the "i'm-dreaming-and-now-realize-it-so-i-will-shape-the-subsequent-events"thing. "lady" had the nerve to make up the rules as it went. from the fact that story couldn't tell you anything until she COULD tell you anything, to the fact that the eatlon conveniently could make two trips if it missed her on the first,to the fact that the scrunts couldn't come inside until they could inside or that the always delightful franklin boy could read their plan on cereal boxes, this movie was one big crap fest and no "lady" i'd ever want to associate with. done.

RE: Who the hell is Pat McCrory?
Posted by DARK on 02.20.08 @ 08:54 PM
i dont know if Pat is the right man for the job. i mean under his regime in charlotte we saw the rise of gang culture, the death of our NBA franchise, and the almost complete defunding of the arts in public schools. he did do a lot of good too, like bringing the light rail and the NFL to the city, but, i dont know. besides, do you really think a "moderate" republican can win a GOP primary who isn't named John McCain? i dont.
