You Don't Have To Do This.

Choices come up in peoples lives all the time. Sometimes they're important like "Should I buy this five dollar hit of acid from someone I met 15 minutes ago" (That actually happened to me about 3 weeks ago... gotta love college), and sometimes they're the complete opposite like "Humm... do I want to buy the new B-side Killers album or pick up Superbad on DVD when it comes out in a few days". I was recently faced with the self-imposed decision of whether or not to sell my Nintendo Wii in order to buy an XBOX 360 off of Mr. Tom Day and I like to think that this decision fell somewhere in between the two mentioned previously.

This idea had been floating around in my head for a while and it wasn't quite as easy as I imagined it would be. Sure the Wii was just about as innovative as anything I've ever seen in my life (I don't get out much)and as soon as I played it I was hooked like a freshman is hooked on snorting Adderall in the weeks preceding finals.


The problem was that as soon as I was not playing with a group of people it just wasn't that fun anymore. The problem was compounded whenever I would play games like Bioshock or Gears of War at friends houses and I had a great single player experience. I mentioned the idea to Max a few months back and when he said he started to think about it after I mentioned it I realized that it wasn't that half baked of an idea and I'm pretty sure it made it on the Stache blog(by the way - sorry Max for being such a bad person and giving you that idea).

So yeah, I did it. I sold the Wii on ebay, then I bought Tom's 360 with a couple of games to boot. Do I feel bad about it? I really don't so bad about the decision as I feel bad about how by selling my Wii for a 360 I'm admitting to everyone (but most importantly myself)that I can't grasp the coming times or revolutionary game play.

Am I happy about the decision? Fuck yeah, I couldn't be happier. I love Halo 3 and I've found that I'm actually really fucking good at it. I don't play that often (I'm not even kidding), but when I play online I manage to usually lead my team and end up with the most kills quite often. It's been suggested by a few that, aside from making me Aryan, god's greatest gift to me is my ability to pick up just about any game and become devastatingly good insanely quick and Halo has reinforced that.

Did I make the right choice? Who knows, but I've spent too much money and lost too many percentage points in my classes to worry about that anymore... I've got some Halo to play.

p.s. Has anyone seen the Bob Dylan biopic "I'm Not There"? I really want to and it sure as hell isn't in Moorhead.

This Is Going To Hurt

My dad sends me these things in the email and I am powerless to not post them here.

Stepping Outside the Circle

I'm almost certain that I've found the funniest website on the internet. It's not college humor or any of the countless amazing internet cartoons. It's Conservapedia.

Conservapedia is at its most fundamental form an alternative to the clear liberal and atheist bias that is shown in nearly every Wikipedia article. The site uses a similar layout to Wikipedia (I think it uses the same engine) and boasts of over 20,000 "educational, clean, and concise entries" that give you a good clean feeling after reading kinda like the fealing I get after I attend an Aryan brotherhood rally on the first and third wednesday of the month.

Similar to Wikipedia's "Did you know..." and "In the news", Conservapedia features not only the "Daily Bible Verse", but it's own "Breaking News" section. In todays Breaking News section it is stated that " "Wikipedia lies to exaggerate the credentials of atheist Richard Dawkins." See Bias in Wikipedia. Rather than donating to Wikipedia, perhaps atheists should give money directly to Dawkins!". Gee wiz!

My favorite feature on Conservapedia is without a doubt the Random Page tool which drops you off in the middle of a hoedown, bum-fuck article that will more than likely make you regret ever having the use of your hands in order to click on the random page tool(was that a run on sentance?.. fuck it). I hit a Deliverance homerun with my first click of the random button which left me at the "Gay Bomb" article. It made sure to reference the Clinton administration as well as a link to the "homosexual agenda" page on Conservapedia.

When I saw that Bill Clinton had been mentioned, I felt compelled to check out what these pig fuckers had to say about our 42nd president. To my astonishment (followed immediatly by me scream laughing in a public setting) the second sentance in the article simply said "Clinton aggressively advocated homosexuality." with a link to this website as a referance.

I'm not really sure how to end this post so I'll do it the only way I know how... Here is my last random article that I clicked on in that hell hole and I could think of no better way to end this or any post. Click

God Knows I Try

Alright, I'm taking a break from writing my 10 page report on Nigerian health issues due in the A.M. that I've put off all semester to show you this gem. It's been around since 1994 which means I've been wasting 13 years of my life not playing it. Make me proud and fuck his shit up.


Why the fuck didn't I find this when I was 10?

I'd like to thank the Academy.....

Following a pretty decent Thanksgiving weekend, I thought I'd do a post of things I'm thankful for. Instead, I'm going to talk about some admirable people, whose existence I'm thankful for.

1)Andy Reid and the Philadelphia Eagles-for making some ballsy calls early on and nearly defeating the most dominant team in NFL history.
2)Wes Welker-for being the best white player in the league (excluding quarterbacks and a couple linemen)
3)This kid-for leaving me speechless
4)Whoever decided to bring THIS back-because it's just so Stiche
5)Oh shit, I almost forgot about this.

Uhn Tis Uhn Tis Uhn Tis.

Well... I've managed to put off all of my homework that I brought home for Thanksgiving break up to this point by sheer determination and apathy(wait, what?) and I figured why not put it off just a little bit longer and make a post.

For the most part it was really nice to get back to B-town for Thanksgiving to see some firmiliar sights and faces and be able to just relax. When I actually think about it I have quite a few things to be thankful for that I've done/seen/taken advantage of in the past few days on break.

1.) I got to see a bunch of people that I haven't seen at all for the past few months and thankfully none of them have joined any cults that I know about or gotten themselves too heavily addicted to hash.
2.) I went out with a handful of friends to Big Lou's tobacco shop and dominated a couple of hookahs which made me realize that if it tastes like a mango it's gotta be healthy... right?
3.) Wednesday night I got together with Julie, Troy, Jeff, Paige, and Nate and watched one of the funniest films I've seen in the past year - "Behind The Mask". It's part horror film and part mocumentary and it's just so fucking funny in so many ways. It tells the story of a film crew that follows a mass murderer before his slaughter and there are strong "Office" and "Spinal Tap" vibes that come through in the best ways. If anybody gets a chance to see it or even pirate it I strongly suggest doing so.


4.) I realized how fucking awesome it is to throw a party at Ellens' house without him being there or knowing about it until after the fact. I don't think I've seen him that angry at me or anyone for at least a few years( he wasn't even that pissed when his XBOX 360 was jacked), but it was so worth it.

I'm so sick of turkey.

Hey Bitches

Hey, I'm back home so if anyone wants to see "Stiche" in real life feel free to call me so we can hang out.

The Fire Burns Eternal.

Moms… you’ve gotta love ‘em. They just always seem to be there for you no matter what your problem may be. When you’re young they will help you out in cases such as if you’re outside and get a cold they’ll give you some soup. If you fall of your bike and end up scraping up your knee they’ll clean it off for you and put a band aid on it. If the stripper you hired for your grad party dies from too much blow, they’ll help you put her into a trunk and make the problem just “go away”.

Luckily it doesn’t end just as soon as you move out which is a lesson I found out just a few weeks ago. My mom and I take the same medication (not important which one, but as a heads up it’s legal) because we have the same condition (also not important which one, but it’s not contagious) so when I forgot to order some more when I ran out my mom offered to give me some of hers just to last me a few days until I came back a week later for thanksgiving. I happily accepted because It’s a bitch to get it on a short notice and figured “Hey, why not”. Instead of giving me the pills in a normal pill bottle she grabbed the first thing handy… A plastic earring bag and put in some pills and handed it to me.

Normally, I would have asked her what she was thinking just because it looked so damn sketchy and she works with drug users on a daily basis(lets be honest though, anybody who works in the Brainerd Lakes Area work with drug users on a daily basis whether we admit it or not) so she should know better than anyone else how that would look if I got caught with it, but I decided to let it slide because of all the other good things she’s done for me in the past.

God I love my mom.

P.S. I'm making this a caption contest photo.

P.P.S. This will be that last caption contest for a while so make it count... I'm pretty much out of good pictures of myself so feel free to put up any "Stiche-esq" photo any of yourself that you think makes the cut.

Yo Ho Ho.

What makes a hero? Well, here at The Stiche Corner it takes a special quality to put them above just being a hero and being a hero befitting of the name Stiche. What is that quality? I'm not even sure I know myself, it's more of just a gut feeling and I got that feeling when I found out about Admiral Horatio Nelson and that's why he is the first "Stiche Hero"


"In days of yore when men were men and battles raged across the lands and glory swept the seas, there came upon the world's stage a great leader whose courage and classical good looks quickly became the stuff of tabloids and tavern talk, and you guessed it, legend. Horatio Nelson was his name: adventurer, true friend of the ladies, admiral of the greatest armada ever to set sail"

Horatio Nelson was the guy who led the British fleet to a victory against the combined Spanish and French fleets at the Battle of Trafalgar. It was at this battle where the British prevented Napoleon's forces from invading England as well as the battle where Nelson told his sailors the famous line "England expects that every man will do his duty", which needless to say got them all into a "I'm going to fuck up some Spaniards and Frenchies" mood. Sadly, Admiral Nelson was shot in the spine by a sniper's bullet which led to his death later in the day. Fortunately for his bad ass cred, he waited until he found out the English won the battle before dieing from getting shot in the fucking spine.

His last words have been in dispute over what was actually said and it's split between; "Thank God I have done my duty.", "Drink, drink. Fan, fan. Rub, rub.", or my favorite "Kiss me, Hardy". As a side note "Hardy" was Thomas Hardy, the captain of the HMS Victory... I'll let you choose which one you feel would be most fitting of a 18Th century sailor.

That eloquent passage at the top of the post comes from the back of Admiral Nelson's spiced rum bottle, which needless to say, nearly brought to me knees after reading it. Check out the front label.


Is it just me or is there more than just a passing resemblance to this well known spiced rum...

Un-Friggin-Believable

Seeing this immediately made me want to play Halo 3 again.

I fear that I must turn to Josh Ellens at some point here. Just call him up over Winter Break and say "Josh, I'm going to need to spend about 8 straight hours at your house sometime soon. When is good for you? Tuesday?"

For those of you who havnt seen these videos i think they are pretty funny. others may not think so but i thought id post them anyway. theres a few more on you tube just search for unforgivable

The Next Episode.

There are few things I hate more than my 8 in the fucking morning speech class. I've always dreaded public speaking for some reason that's beyond me (it probably has to do with all those cats I lit on fire as a kid) so when I realized I'd have to take a speech class for a whole semester I knew that I'd have to make the best of it and find the little things in it to keep me going.

This morning we began giving our persuasive speeches which is just what it sounds like, we are supposed to persuade the audience into thinking the way we do on just about any topic we could think of. Most peoples were pretty damn lame like "stop drinking bottled water" or "avoid crash dieting", but there was one speech that trumped all of them within 30 seconds of starting.

A kid named Mike began his speech just like this - "Why is marijuana illegal? it's a plant that grows in the dirt which makes it natural. How is marijuana, which is completely natural, illegal while there are complex drugs out there that give 80 year old men Hard-ons".

I even looked at his note card after the speech and he had underlined the phrase "Hard-ons" several times for what I'd imagine emphasis.

I never thought I'd hear "Hard-on" used in a college speech, but I was wrong.

We Will Never Die...

Living life to its fullest is never easy. Especially when you go here, the conservative capital of the WORLD, Fargo, ND. And when I say conservative, I mean it. Papa bear Bill O'Reilly would look like Goldie Locks in a nice cardigan sweater around here. Yes... that conservative.

"Hey you, over there. Get yer shit kickers on and follow me, we've got black people on the road." "Why yes sir, I have had sex with my cousin." or the ever famous "What's the difference between a black person and a picnic table?" are all too common phrases thrown about here. It's almost as if I live in West Virginia.

Maybe I don't fit in because I don't chew tobacco? or maybe it's cause I don't hunt anymore? or maybe it's cause I am not racist/inbred?

I am no longer a man here, but rather a concubine domestic capable of cooking, cleaning and knitting.

Trapped in a hotbox with cold crosswinds, my soul lowers itself till I am on par with the drunks at the bar.

Left for death, I find solace in the warm, euphoria of long-cut needles and down-home twangin'

Now my soul rests.

Rising from the ashes of the occasional Marlboro man, I am no longer a man, but a MAN

And thus life goes on, in a vicious cycle of crutches and cows, conservatives and cess pools

Always living beside you, looking down, and laughing.

I am conservative

Alight, the last photo didn't have a very good turnout in the caption contest so I figured I'd bump it up a notch to Stiche factor 5. Best one will win some more points and you all know I'm a narcissist so make me proud.

Pure Genius

Never before have I seen such a brilliant combination of intellectual and physical combat.

Let it slide

Chris Rock is (or at least was) a funny guy. He stole whatever scene he was in in "Dogma" and his TV show "Everybody Hates Chris" was pretty damn entertaining whenever I watched it. The best thing he ever did though in my opinion was a sketch called "No Sex in the Champagne Room" which was on the album "Bigger & Blacker". So when I saw this in my bathroom the other week I was pretty fucking impressed.


look closer...

Fiat Stiche

And Max said unto the Lord,
Lord, I found this sweet video,
but I need somewhere to put it

And it was good.



Amen.

Don't say it doesn't matter

Guitar Hero is badass and everyone knows it. It would be quite an accomplishment to find someone who hasn't played it or at least thinks it looks like a fun game because you get to rock out the guitar to some of the best tracks in the history of rock. It was created by two separate companies Harmonix and Red Octane and needless to say, they did a good job. This isn't a post about Guitar Hero though.
Red Octane was bought out by another company leaving Harmonix unable to continue with the series so what did they do? They created Rock Band. Instead of just being able to play guitar along with your favorite songs, you now get to sing into a microphone as well as rip the shit out of some drums. It'll cost 50 bucks more than Guitar Hero did and it'll be well worth it. Yeah it'll be sweet to play drums and sing, but a single bonus track puts it over the top so check it out here.
God I'm pumped

"Which Beat?"

Nietzche says "God is dead." Is he?

So I guess I am supposed to write about booze, right? Or at least music, maybe?

Fuck that!

Now I know that this is "The Stiche Corner," but c'mon, there is more to Stich's life than drinking and music. How about the never-ending supply of "hey look at me, I'm stoned!" moments or the deal-breaker, "ten dollars and a quickie?" It seems that we have only scratched the surface of this omnipotent being. God exists in the fact that he walks the earth in the form of a blonde haired, blue-eyed aryan with a doughy physique and a vast knowledge of chemistry and women's studies.

This almighty being that is Stiche, commands us to put our fair share of money in his collection plate and asks for complete devotion, usually in the forms of bj's and suicide bombings. Yes, we are all asked to do it. All in the name of Stiche.

So when you go to church on Sunday, forget about the "man that nobody knows," and start stealing for the man everyone knows. C'mon people, his streak can't continue with out you.

Oh, and beware of the man that lives in Room 169... his corruption invades your mind and makes you have a severe egotism, only rivaled by his indelible hunger.

Caption contest: Whoever can create the best caption will win points kinda like in the MM blog. Not sure what they'll be for but it'll be a caption contest nonetheless.
Pt. two: whoever can tell me what date and where that picture took place will also win points.

What a way to spend time.

Aside from work and class, music and shows consume me. I enjoy nothing more than a song or a movie that can send a chill down your spine again and again. It's even better when I can't be sure why. Here are some of my most played albums, all of which consistently deliver the spine tingle:

• Andrew Bird - Armchair Apocrypha
• Bird was trained from a very young age in the Suzuki method (I'm going to train all my kids in it, methinks) with the violin. Additionally he plays piano, glockenspiel, guitar, and does some pretty incredible whistling. I can't get enough of the instrument layers, which never get too busy.
  
• Team Sleep - Team Sleep
• Chino Moreno of The Deftones goes crazy with the guitar effects on this album. This sideproject is best described as trippy, with reverberating and piling guitars. Again Moreno's voice really shines, the most stable and guiding element of a guitar-based landscape that feels like it has real depth. This group really lets it rock sometimes, yet in such a way it feels like dreaming. I dunno man - just trippy.
• Sigur Rós - Takk...
• This album really makes me want to go to Iceland. All of the bandmembers are multi-instrumentalists. Again, gajillions of layers and instruments. They have shared their studio with such artists as Björk and the amazing The Album Leaf (also featuring the drummer from Sigur Rós on multiple instruments on Into the Blue Again). I had just started getting interested in this group when Sam Walker showed me the music video for the song "Glósóli", which is basically the greatest music video of all time.
• Alexisonfire - Crisis
• I didn't like screaming in my music until I listened to this album. This post-hardcore band is named after The vocals are shared by George Pettit and Dallas Green. Petit runs around shouting and foaming at the mouth the entire performance (which is hella cool and hella metal), and Green (who I just discovered and downloaded while writing this has a bare and haunting acoustic side project called City and Colour) has the most melodic hard rock voice I've ever heard. Alexisonfire hails from Canada, where two of their albums have reached platinum. Their performance with Saosin was ridiculously cool. They are sweet as hell, with explosive drumming that will obliterate you.
  
• Fountains of Wayne - Traffic and Weather
• The men who brought you "Stacy's Mom", easily the least good song [because the whole damn thing is good] on their album Welcome Interstate Managers, returned this year with even more delicious power-pop. '80s keyboards have never sounded so appropriate, to include the '80s.
• Name Taken - Hold On
• Huge guitars with huge melody - Name Taken rocks hard, but it doesn't get old. I really like the singer's voice. I don't know why; it's just good. Though they split up for a time, the band is back together, and I'm anticipating their next release more than just about anything.
• Murder By Death - In Bocca al Lupo
• In Bocca al Lupo is an Italian "in the mouth of the wolf," an Italian colloquialism meaning good luck. As far as I understand it, the saying refers to the she-wolf who in legend raised Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome. 'nyways... It's a concept album about sin and redemption. Transgressors range from cowboys, to pirates, to coal miners. In addition to having a cellist in the band, the lead singer changes his voice and singing style to better suit the content of the song, at times sounding a goddamn lot like Johnny Cash. Me likey.
  
• Family Force 5 - Business Up Front, Party in the Back
• I may not agree with some of their more conservative Christian beliefs, but these guys know how to party and do so full of genuine love for their fellow man. Their tour was sponsored by a pretty sweet clothing company that exists for no other purpose than to support charitable causes, Jedidiah. None of their lyrics are explicitly religious with the exception of single line in one song, so its definitely appeals to much broader audience. They played a show here in Madison that far surpassed their album, and I would recommend them to anyone. Just to give you an idea of how funky they are, the band members all have nicknames: Soul Glow Activator, Chap Stique, Phatty, Crouton, and Nadaddy. I love the keyboards, and the vast amount of purple on their persons is astounding. I cannot begin to describe their music, so I will allow it to speak for itself.

Time is running out

A couple of years ago I bought an ipod because it was just what people were doing those days (that and tar heroin) and I felt like I needed one too. I'd use it more than some people would, but at most 2 to 3 hours a day and usually only while driving or doing homework.
I don't have a car here at Concordia, but I sure as fuck have homework to do which has caused me to use it more than ever. With that said here are 10 albums that I've found myself listening to the most since I've gotten here

10.)Alice in Chains - Dirt. This album was written and recorded while singer Layne Staley was being consumed by his heroin addiction and it shows with 6 of the 13 tracks blatantly spelling it out. Sound depressing? Oh it is, but is still a masterpiece of the 90's.

9.) Mastodon - Leviathon. Leviathon is a concept album based on the book "Moby-Dick" and features some of the most creative metal I've ever heard.

8.) Silversun Pickups - Carnavas. I usually don't listen to much indie/alternative rock, but Silversun Pickups is the exception. The music on Carnavas is relaxing and comforting, but the sense that any moment it could erupt is why it's on the list. I'd recomend this to just about anyone.

7.) Queens of the Stone Age - Lullabies to Paralyze. This is some good shit.

6.) Metallica - ...And Justice for All. This is trash metal at it's finest and with an average track length of about 7:16, it's my favorite Metallica album and great to get shit done with.

5.) Radiohead - Kid A. I first heard this album this summer while at Jeff Spear's house at a fire and I just loved it. Before then I had never listened to Radiohead at all, but now I'm hooked and I'm no better than Scott Tenorman.

4.) Beck - Sea Change. This is Beck stripped of his samples and ironic lyrics and left with his acoustic guitar, string arrangements and a ripped out heart. This is the most beautiful album I've ever owned and I suggest to anyone to check it out.

3.) Deftones - Deftones. In this album Deftones pull out all the stops and just get to work kicking ass left and right. Singer Chino Moreno uses his voice in ways I had no idea were possible and shift it on a moments notice. When (not if) I die at the hands of government agents in a hail of gunfire this is what I expect to be playing in the background.

2.) Muse - Absolution. Absolution is one of the most exciting albums I've owned in a while due to it's innovative use of bass and piano.

1.) Radiohead - In Rainbows. Ever since I downloaded it a month ago, this guy doesn't get old. It manages to be great just as background music for when I'm reading an article or when I'm actively listening to every word and melody.

As you can see by the list only one of these albums was made in the past year so feel free to give me some ideas on other music to burn my money on.

Now it is a good video for the most part, but the events which occur at approximately 4:08 make it truly extraordinary.




Good job, India.

Have mercy

I don't want to start a trend with this by posting this picture because its horrible and extremely offensive. That said I found this so damn funny and I still chuckle every time I think about it. I'm sorry.

Like a water nymph... in a magical pool

I have a pretty simple last name. One syllable. One simple consonant sound, followed by awww, and ending in 'k'. So how is it that so many people can misspell, mispronounce, or simply not understand ---- B-O-C-K. There's no r's, l's, or a-c-h's, or o-c-h's.
It's Bock motherfuckers.
I'm sick of this.

On another note...

I'm sure I've heard it before...
But what is Stick's streak?

What, do you think I study?

It's that time of year again when I look forward to Thursday nights. I don't look forward to them because I don't have class until 10:30 Friday (although I do) or even just to see all the people who get trashed for "Thirsty Thursday" (it's pretty damn funny though sometimes). I look forward to Thursday because It's the single greatest night of television this world has ever seen. From 7 until 9:30 I go brain dead watching TV instead of being even halfway productive and here's a little rundown of why.

My Name is Earl - I was worried about how funny the series could be with Earl going to prison last season (fuck spoiler alerts), but I was wrong as hell. Having Earl in prison actually helps out due to all the rape jokes as well as shiv jokes.I'm not sure how this happened, but I think it might have passed The Office for my favorite show on TV. damn

30 Rock - This show actually deserved to beat out all the other shows at the emmys last year. The humor is actually pretty smart even though quite a few of the jokes are based around Tracy Morgan's character "Tracy Jordan" being a complete nut job.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnxz3acXM6w

The Office - Not too much to say other than it's still funny as hell and all the haters can suck it. In this past season shit started getting serious and somewhat dramatic, but I'm not complaining as long as there are still jokes at Toby's expense.

Scrubs - This show also got pretty fucking serious as of late too. I know that with it being the last season they've gotta tie up some loose ends so it's okay. The best part so far is bringing back Nurse Laverne Roberts who was killed off last season but managed to show up last episode... I'm not going to question it.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - This is the darkest comedy that I've ever seen actually broadcast on television. If you haven't watched it you should check it out on FX at 9:00. It follows a group of friends who own a pub in Philadelphia and their exploits which are god awful at best. All you have to do is check out the titles of some of the episodes to get a good idea what you're in for. "Charlie Got Molested", "The Gang Goes Jihad", "The Gang Exploits a Miracle", and "Sweet Dee's Dating a Retarded Person" are all prime examples of why you'll feel dirty after watching each episode. The problem is that it's so fucking funny that you can't help but to watch again and again.

So yeah, that's why I love Thursdays and Gray's Anatomy can suck it, I've already got shit to watch.

Keepin' it Stichey

Last year Cody Hummer approached me with a project. It was a great task combining his two greatest obsessions, Chester Stevenson and Stiche, or Chestiche. I was to take the following two pictures and, using the wonders of cheap photo editing software, Stichify them.

I accepted the challenge, and the next day returned to school with the following:

As far as I know, Hummer then took the pictures to the nearest printing shop and paid them to blow up and copy the pictures, before coating the entire inside of his house with the copies.

Gaping Anal Distruction II

While the inaugural posts of most on this blog are, for the most part, analyses of their drinking preferences. I'm not much of a drinker, so I'll skip on that for now.

Instead, I have another issue to adress. Over the summer, I put closure to my childhood by finishing the Harry Potter series. I'm glad I finished before this news. I think it would have left a scar on my childhood psyche. The other day, a headline on the cover of Time Magazine caught my attention, so I had to investigate. Apparently, J.K. Rowling recently made Headmaster of Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore, come out of the closet.

That's right, Dumbledore's gay. Come on J.K. where's the balls? It's probably really easy to say, "oh yeah he's gay." Then why weren't there any signs of it in the books? I think it's just a cop-out to try and be politically correct and attract attention.

I also find it ironic that Albus's only real emotional connection to another character was with a little boy.

Ok, Michael.

I don't know, I geuss I'm just disappointed because I always thought of a smooth wizard like Dumbledore as a real ladies' man.

Me, I'm Not

Few things piss me off more than when a rapper or singer release a remix album. I don't know why, but I see it as a way to make a quick buck just by tweaking the bass line or throwing in a new turntable sample to replace the old one. "The Limitless Potential" by Nine Inch Nails is the exception to that rule. Trent Reznor Released "Year Zero" earlier this year and it was met with mild success and a couple of hits. Reznor created the album essentially on his laptop and there are only a handful of songs with real instrumentation on it and this allowed for an opportunity. He threw his whole album in multitrack format on the internet so fans could use programs like garageband to cut up and edit the whole album to their liking with the option to submit it to the Nine Inch Nails website for to be judged my Trent himself along with a select few other judges.

Over 200 fan submitted tracks were submitted and 21 were picked up to be included in the double album "The Limitless Potential" and it is amazing. To top it off Trent threw it online for free at 320Kb quality a la In Rainbow . These fans managed to tweak an already good album into something at times unrecognizable. Synthesized piano play over the haunting track "Me, I'm Not" to create the "Me, I'm Not (Void Mix)" and it makes the track something it never was on Year Zero, beautiful.

Overall the tracks are a bit funkier than Year Zero (although I deffinatly wouldn't call it funk) as well as having a much more processed and kinetic sound than the original so if you're into inorganic music as well as a lot of beeps and clicks this could be an album to check out. http://www.9inchnails.com/remixes/

p.s. This music is quite dark lyric wise as well as with the overall atmosphere so I wouldn't recommend listening to it on a rainy day.

Halloween Is Over

My candy corn just lost 90% of its resale value.


Hey Stiche: I saw not one, but TWO Asian dudes wearing that three hole punch thing you had last year (last year?). Everybody thought it was SO clever.
