Schindler's List

Have you seen this? Have you heard about this? What's with Schindler's List being such an amazing cinematic achievement? I mean, come on.

Now I'm not actually racist. I slang a few off-colour jokes from time to time (no pun intended) but I don't really give a shit about culture, religion, etcetera. If I have one problem with any race, it's white people, but I ought to save that for another post. You can see then, why I'd be so confused when a movie like Schindler's List is so good. I mean, it's pretty much the best movie I've ever seen, and it wouldn't exist if six million Jews weren't murdered during the 40s.

From time to time, I like to get liquored up all by my lonesome, and enjoy the fine acting of Liam Neeson, who's a fucking god, and Ralph Fiennes, who ain't too bad either. But does that make me a racist? I'd say no. Although, does that in a round about way make me enjoy the holocaust? I don't know, but i feel like it does, and I don't know what to do. It's fucking entrapment. It's like hearing a really funny joke before you're forced to watch someone die. It's a terrible terrible thing, but you're going to laugh because you can't help it. Shit ain't fair. And I don't know what to do, aside from crack another beer, and continue to wish Liam Neeson was my biological father.

Thank you, you've been a terrific audience.

I had to study for a midterm last week. Instead I made this. I got pretty good at them by the end. I sent it to a website, but I haven't heard back. http://asianposes.com/

slow walkers on the sidewalk

Have you seen this? Have you heard about this? Nothing drives me more crazy than when people walk slowly, or worse yet, stand still. I mean come on. . .

How much of an asshole can you be? I mean, I wouldn't consider myself that busy of a person, and it still annoys the shit out of me. The sidewalk is for walkin' not for lallygagging, or sight seeing. If for some reason, you need to slow your pace, move out of the god damned way, and don't hold up other people. Even worse is when some asshole is standing walking slow in the middle of the sidewalk. It's enough to drive a man crazy. it's called a sidewalk, not an in-the-middle walk.

When you're on main streets, and there's garbages, mailboxes, and newspaper machines, and the realestate is even more limitied, it seems like people are even more eager to walk slow, and directly in your way. Sometimes, I guess, people are just assholes.

Thank you, you've been a terrific audience.

Name Etymology

Have you seen this? Have you heard about this? What's the point of learning the meaning of your name? I mean come on. . .

I was having a conversation with a friend the other day, and she asked me what my name means. I told her that I have no fucking idea, and she seemed shocked. I missed the point. I don't understand why people care what their name means, because it's obviously going to be something good. Nobody is going to give their child a name that means 'asshole' or 'douchebag' or whatever.
An example you ask? 'Adolf' means noble wolf. Adolf Hitler was a big dirty Nazi. There is no correlation there. I don't know, just seems fucking stupid placing importance in your name as I've been lead to believe, many do.

Thank you, you've been a terrific audience.

Completely Audible Whispering

Have you seen this? Have you heard about this? I'm at the library, gettin' sars and shit, and there's these two assholes whispering to each other across the room, but it's completely audible to everyone. I mean, come on. . .

Aside from the point that it's a goddamn library, how hard is it to keep your voice down? Unless you're Gilbert-fucking-Gottfried, I don't see the problem. It's almost as if they learned to whisper from a cartoon. The whisper is so hammed up, it's almost like they're doing it to annoy you, as if to say, ;this is whisper conversation, but listen anyways, you dick!' The screechy, high pitch is enough to make me want to put a gun in my mouth.

Thank you, you've been a terrific audience.

PSA

It occurred to me soon after my last post about 'Lost' that this is becoming less of a funny-sort-of-thing, and more so me just complaining. As much as I'll try to curb the appearing trend, if it isn't your sort of thang, I apologize, and thank you for giving me a chance.

'Lost' is a Stupid Show

Have you seen this? Have you heard about this? What's with 'Lost' still being on the air? I mean, come on. . .

Now I'll admit, I haven't wasted my time watching all of 'Lost,' as I'd rather lose a bullet in my head, but I've watched enough of it that I feel I can pass fair judgment upon it. And my consensus? It's Fucking Stupid. My first exposure to the show came in my first year of university. I was young, I was naive, and I had terrible taste in television. After several fellow students recommended the show, I checked out the first couple episodes. I'll admit, the plane crash was cool, and the pilot episode is intriguing, but soon after the opening episodes, the tears in the show's logic begin to show. At first I thought it was going to be a tale of survival, like 'The Swiss Family Robinson.' But then dinosaurs and shit came in, and I was all like, W.T.Fuck? I pretty much stopped watching after that. Now the show is in it's like, tenth season, or something stupid, and from what I hear, the show has remained as shitty as I recall it being: people are still trapped on an island without a wicked tree house or monkey butlers, and non-nonsensical sci-fi elements are being applied without and sort of thought (I'm thinking namely, of the concept that the entire island is a vessel unsewn from the fabric of time, and\or space. . . DDDDURRRRR).

I have admiration for the genre of Science Fiction. It's not a favorite genre of mine, by any means, but I respect what it is, and what the idea stands for: creativity, imagination, and suspended disbelief. I also strongly believe that 'Lost' has raped all of the above concepts. There is no creativity or ingenuity in 'Lost.' If you'll allow me to quote imdb:

ABC picked up the show before there even was a script. J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof had only turned in an outline and based on this ABC picked up the show.(1)

Extrapolating from this fact, I strongly believe that the producers and writers of the show have absolutely no fucking idea what they're doing, what essence of the show is, or where it's going. However, I also believe that the show will go on for many more seasons, only getting more popular.

I'm sure that 'Lost' is entertaining. I remember being enthralled by the special effects when I watched the beginning of the show. But at what cost are we being entertained? The rape of a genre? The banishment of creativity and lineage? Don't take this out of context, but I think I'd rather watch survivor. I know they're pretty much beating a dead horse with it now, but at least it was innovative and creative in it's roots. When shows like 'Lost' are blindly followed for season after season, while genuine and inspired shows like 'It's Always Sunny in Philidalphia' struggle to get off the ground after the first season, it irks the shit out of me.

Thank you, you've been a terrific audience.
