Most days, I forget I even have a blog...more important obligations take precedence. So, if you signed up, you're in for a surprise: I've blogged.

The 2nd reason for blogging today, boys & girls, is to promote my fav band of the moment: the bird & the bee, whose songs Again & Again & La la la are floating in my skull. Go to iTunes & sample for yourself.

Zombie Castro

I have a theory. Castro been around for so long, I feel that the Cuban people won't accept his death. Fidel has been ill lately & his people say he's getting better. I believe the Cuban government is plotting to zombify Castro. This way, he'll still be around to oversee things...as a zombie forvever. It'll be like that film Weekend at Bernie's {Weekend at Castro's}. The gov't will prop up Castro for speeches. The prefect title: Weekend at Castro's: Havana Nights. Hope I get the greenlight!

Forever Castro, forever zombie.

Nelly Furtado & Jewel

I've noticed the increasing pressure of women to "whore themselves out" or sex up their image (aka degrading themselves) in order to boost sales. Jewel, an intelligent, sensitive singer-songwriter tramped herself up for the release of her album 0304. Visit this as proof:

See then claimed it was an act, a parody in order to save her self respect. It happened to Heart in the late 80s & early 90s.

Now this disease has afflicted Nelly Furtado after her 2nd album Folklore. For her latest album she's gone commercial abandoning her former musical roots. She has songs like Promiscuous; need I say more. Plus, she's dancing like a tart trying to be like so many other weak willed women. Be the exception, not the rule!

Am I a Nerd, Geek or Dork?

Modern, Cool Nerd 69 % Nerd, 52% Geek, 26% Dork

For The Record: A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia. A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one. A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions. You scored better than half in Nerd and Geek, earning you the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd. Nerds didn't use to be cool, but in the 90's that all changed. It used to be that, if you were a computer expert, you had to wear plaid or a pocket protector or suspenders or something that announced to the world that you couldn't quite fit in. Not anymore. Now, the intelligent and geeky have eked out for themselves a modicum of respect at the very least, and "geek is chic." The Modern, Cool Nerd is intelligent, knowledgable and always the person to call in a crisis (needing computer advice/an arcane bit of trivia knowledge). They are the one you want as your lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or the one up there, winning the million bucks)! Congratulations! THE NERD? GEEK? OR DORK? TEST

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 67% on nerdiness You scored higher than 79% on geekosity You scored higher than 38% on dork points

A Part of Me Despises MySpace

It's become a mass marketing tool for shameless self promoters, media darlings, & wanna bes. The intersted party doesn't wanna be your friend; they want you to be a consumer.

Your Value Isn't Determined By Your Post Count or Page Hits!

The former was a sig line for 1 of my msg gps. The latter was inspied by the following from my growing gang of devotees:

"BTW, I owe you like, 5 cents, I used your phrase "As complex as a carbohydrate!" on one of my blogs and I got 11 reads, I figure .5 cents a read is good, right? I normally get about 100 reads so by Saturday I'll owe you 50 cents."

It started when the writer said I was a complex person he was enjoying getting to know. I then compared myself to a complex carbohydrate. I granted permission to use that phrase if I recieved a royalty. I theorize the reason for the page hits is that the savvyless readers are still hung up on the Atkins anti-carb craze.

On a message board, someone stated that they're 34, to which a younger member replied that's old. I declare: Old is an attitude, or state of mind (a bad one). Age is relative. Excuse me while I get philosophical here: Compared to the lifespan of a housefly, we're all old. Compared to the age of Redwood trees, we're all young.

Back Without A Vengence

Now that my class is complete & the big holidays are over, I can devote more time to my blog (& plotting vengence against all those oppose me). Hop on my Operation Opposition/Venegnce bandwagon; it's gonna be a bumpy ride!!!
