I got unhung at the gallery. (I didn't get into the show, oh well). Haven't heard a word about the job [replacing my boss], except that they are almost complete with the interviews. Don't they usually have a second call back, if the candidate is taken seriously? I didn't get one of those. Aw well, I'm partially resigned to the fact, that I'll never make enough to live on doing the work-a-day sorta thing. I've got to make a mark Artisically! And... I'm good! Well, at leat I have my moments. It's just not easily defined in business terms. SO... the "they" havern't figured out if helping perpetuate my designs is a positive business move or not. And I haven't figured out how to show them [those business guys] that I can do it, I am a good Artist! Wow, randomn philosophy! That's what happens when you get ahold of a keyboard after a few beers, and believe that you have no culpability regarding your writings. The truth is, in the light of day, sometimes you wonder! Case in point. My comment about AIDS. I'd rather not repeat what I posted here again, but here goes... African Intravenious Dick Suckers (Hahahahahaha, I'm sorry, sometimes my irony is wasted on myself alone!) I only meant by that post to encourage the theory of the conspiracy, whether defined or not, is a deliberate conglomerate of no one knows who, are shaping the destiny of humanity. They shape it, in as much as designing AIDS as a targetted ailment, which targetted Africans, Intravenious [drug users], and Dick Suckers [Gays]. Sorta like that anti-cigarette ad, S.M.U.T., something like She Males [who] Usually Tuck. Anyway, I wanted to express that it was a joke. I have nothing against Africans, Intravenious or Dick Suckers! And I doubly apologize to all of those out there, who are sensitive to the term, Dick Suckers. I'm sorry, I meant no harm. (A new jam: "Unhung at the Gallery, Unsung at your job! It's not your fault, Capitalists like to rob!") Thank you! Awwa \A/
Aw Did anyone hear about this? I was just sent the link to the whitehouse.gov press release. May 1st is now Loyalty Day. I did not hear any news on this item though...
chiefwagonburner Haha. Look out, the PEI lobser is going to get you! From the icecream page: Q. You say that you proudly donate 10% of your profits to charitable organizations that support the men and women of the US Armed Forces, as well as US veterans. Which charitable organizations specifically? A. Being brand new, we have not decided yet and are open to your suggestions! It should say "Our pockets, you damned hippies!" Better hide it! Even as White House political aides plot a 2004 campaign plan designed to capitalize on the emotions and issues raised by the September 11 terror attacks, administration officials are waging a behind-the-scenes battle to restrict public disclosure of key events relating to the attacks. This is disappointing. "A federal court Friday struck down most of a ban on the use of large corporate and union political contributions by political parties, casting into doubt the future of the campaign finance law that was supposed to govern next year's high-stakes presidential election. Hispanic Activists Say Cinco De Mayo Holiday Is Being Corrupted by Alcohol Industry. When I first came down here I found the Spanish billboard ads for stuff particularly offensive. Good ole stereo types and sex. But when I look at the English ones, they are just as bad. It reminds me of the Latin text (a story) that is used in graphics design - the text is unreadable (for your average bloke) so it makes it easier to concentrate on format and images - the eye is not distracted. This is one tough guy. "An Aspen mountaineer who was pinned by a nearly 1,000-pound boulder for five days in a remote slot canyon in eastern Utah cut off his arm with a pocketknife, rappelled down a rock wall and hiked until he was found by a search helicopter Thursday afternoon."
chiefwagonburner Holy shit, coop. It's real! I mean, it's like a damned Onion ad!
jimmy Just got this from a friend: "I Hate the French" Vanilla Yikes! LOL
coop OMB Jimmy! ....And here last week we were just talking about people being too uptight about the physical realities. I'm still glad I'm a girl. Easier to hit the can! Rub the Buddha's tummy, yeah. I suppose I could be carrying a reincarnated lama; every mother thinks her child is that perfect at least until the first time they do something disgusting to you. I kind of doubt it. I have no objection to people I know rubbing my tummy as long as they ask first. Heck, even Chris (the hubby) is likely to get kicked in the shins if he doesn't ask. My local paper today has an annoying-ass animated ad that reminds me of the worst old days of the web. (check it out at your peril - if you click on it, it takes you somewhere unexpected and sort of funny. If it's going to show up it will "crawl" across the middle of the page.) I too am very grateful for caching not going back to 1995. Hoo boy. I remember getting flamed for putting a GIF background on my site junior year. It was, like, 5K or something. The twit accused me of "stealing his bandwidth." We still have mutual friends, I was at a party with him a few months ago. Heh. If I ever need ammo, I have it. He must've been devastated by animated gifs when they first started coming out, let alone Shockwave.
coop Aahaha, I'm definitely not using the can for a while. Jesus, I'm in flip-flops too!
chiefwagonburner For those of you who have ever wondered whether or not jimmy is a complete idiot, I have conclusive evidence that I am. The company men's room consists of one toilet in a nicely sized room, complete with a sink, and a plastic file organizer used for storing copies of 'Information Week', a completely boring magazine but for the graphic art. The entire east wall of the bathroom is mirrored, so that when you're peeing, you can admire yourself while doing it. If you have to sit down to do your business, you'll simply miss out, since you'll then be facing the west wall. Boring. Just now, while urinating and admiring my outfit in the mirror, I noticed that my shirt had a few wrinkles on the front. I don't wear it very often for that very reason. It's 100% linen. So anyhow, as I was urinating, I thought, "wow, if the front of my shirt is that wrinkled, I bet the back must look awful from sitting in that office chair all morning". So I turned around to get a look at my back, while peeing, and spun a perfect arc of urine all over the bathroom floor and counter. I spent a few minutes cleaning up after myself and mumbling. That's all folks. Carry on with your Friday.
jimmy Haha, chief. That's true. And another bad page marker, at least in my opinion, was the gif which floats by and has absolutley nothing to do with the page content..the floating cupid, or the old man in a miniature car....bouncing balls all over the page and the inevitable construction sign. The fucking MIDI that you can't turn off...something like a song from Top Gun. Ack, I'm gritting my teeth just thinking about it.
jimmy That gif makes me laugh. It reminds me of my first years on the net (waaay back in '94, yo). When the Mosaic browser first came out, it opened the door for really awful homepages. The construction guy used to be a badge of learning html - I think everyone had a page of crazy animated gifs with a construction guy. I'm glad the google archive does not go back far enough to cache my old homepages, that would be horrible.
chiefwagonburner Happy Friday! I never could figure out why people think they can just rub a stranger's belly. Unless the stranger is Bhuddha.  I don't know why I felt the need to post that gif. I just think it's so neat. I guess. I am thinking about editting it to include texture-man speak and perhaps even 'jive', valley (girl) and some more alien writing. I found it on some site, while searching for schwa stuff.
jimmy Hey chairites, sorry I haven't been around too much. I haven't had much slack time to speak of. (and when I do have it, I am mainly concerned with food and naps, heh) But, I am well, and baby is well also, judging by the rapid expansion of my waistline. I am beginning to get those "knowing smiles." Can't wait for the unsolicited advice from complete strangers and the wackos trying to rub my belly. (yeah right! good luck! the Mzilla snorts) happy Friday...
coop I just finished the book 'the man who fell to earth' last night. I also viewed the movie a few times. They are completely different. For one, Thomas Jerome Newton and Dr Bryce (the chemist) have a most disturbing conversation only hinted at in the flick. Oh hell...even Betty-Lu was actually named Betty Jo. According to the screenplay, the film was meant to have an entirely Bowian soundtrack, and end with the song Rocket Man, by Elton John, but there were some problems. For one, DB openly accused EJ of ripping off 'a space oddity' with 'rocket man'. If I was honest with myself, I would admit that the film was not very good at all. The screenplay made for a much better film, and the book is so wildly different from both that I can hardly compare the two with the one. I am a grocery bag.
jimmy Initials... African Intravenious Dick Suckers Sars as a planted... aw, I'll tell you later. If we stabilize humanity on this planet, planet Earth; Then we might plan for the Stars! \A/
Aw For the preservation of history, for the sake of peace of mind, for the sake of prostarity, for the sake of knowing we were right, don't destroy the ballots! Oh well, they will destroy them anyway! Leave no paper trail! (They'd have to be really stupid or outright arrogant not to!) Fla. Weighs Fate of 2000 Election Ballots The more encouraging news reads that this president has lied to this free democracy. How the road to war was paved with lies Oh wait, it was all a Matters of Emphasis! (Thanks Chief for your links too!) Now what are we gonna do about it? RIOT? HELL YEAH! Awwa \A/
Aw Ha-ha. Yes, I am a simple creature.
chiefwagonburner I am so surprised /sarcasm. "Officials inside government and advisers outside told ABCNEWS the administration emphasized the danger of Saddam's weapons to gain the legal justification for war from the United Nations and to stress the danger at home to Americans. "We were not lying," said one official. "But it was just a matter of emphasis." More info here: NY Times, WashPost. This is interesting. "Secrets of the Cold War" from popular mechanics - all sorts of cover-ups. Lucky for me I got sick the same time this book arrived. Read a good chunk of it yesterday. It is simple but informative so far, compares every day items and lets you know which is bad/good/etc.
chiefwagonburner For those RPGers out there... (click on the PLAYSummoner Geeks icon near the top). Summoner Geeks I've been there! You are so vicious And totally suspicious Very delicious! Peace! Awwa \A/
Aw Tattas: 1. a series of goodbyes Or maybe just my childish euphemism for breasts. Ah...the fine line between sexism and sexuality. I once had a roommate who would claim I was a sexist all the time. It really worried me because I thought I was on the cutting edge of egalitarianism. I jest slightly, but anyhow... We would periodically argue on song lyrics. Sometimes I agreed with her. One such song was "Under My Thumb". [lyrics] I'm not sure how I feel on this particular song...it doesn't go into detail on issues surrounding "the girl who once pushed me around", but the entire song is delivered in a way that makes one figure it's tongue in cheek, and it seems to celebrate a triumph of person over person in sexual warfare, where gender is unimportant. Comments like "the way she talks when she's spoken to..." are dangerous though, since they harken back to the dark age as far as women are concerned. I would always tell her that until she could gauge the difference between sexism and sexuality she was losing out. I don't know if I'm right, but I feel right. On the one hand, human sexuality isn't fixed and varies from culture to culture, so perhaps my stance is futile. Given that that is true however, the nature of 'sexism' isn't fixed either and would have to vary from culture to culture. If anyone has a suggestions on some books I can read on Feminist theory that will blow my mind, I'm ready. It's obvious I haven't read a single one, but I'm interested. __________________________ wow, who would have guessed it? __________________________ I just got back from the slacker cookbook on our hive page, and I realised that, damn, it's unemployment potato hash for me today, though I'm not unemployed. Knock on wood.
jimmy Don't know a line integral from an ordinary one but here goes (hell when did a lack of knowledge stand in the way of having a go?) Eeelongated esses Probing spaces approaching zero Quantum events ignite Can recommend the first half of 'Vital lies Simple truths' by Daniel Goleman for a model of the mind that explains shunting away of pain and why we keep repeating certain patterns. 2nd half of book developed theory to family and society in general. Not somethig that interests me a great deal - society. What's tattas? Tits and ass? Tattoos?
Ashok First...the premise:  they're probably suffering anyhow. In math class today, the girl who sits behind me challenged me to a haiku contest for which the subject matter would be line integrals. I wrote a haiku as I'd learned them....three lines, with 5,7,5 syllable structure. She wrote a 3 line poem with god knows how many syllables, it was basically free form. I tried to argue with her, but she insisted that haiku was any three line poem. "Ok", I said. unseen, unresolved, silent hung in mind's vacuum We got a guy to judge our work. Hers was interesting...full of animal imagery and barely mentioning integrals themselves except through an opaque film of metaphor. I won by default since hers wasn't even a haiku...but I learned something: Oh who am I kidding? I didn't learn a damned thing. She's pretty. Nice tattas. A pleasant demeanor. Batshit crazy. I like her friendship because she immediately gave up the 'agape love'...that pure love that Martin Luther King preached about. The nonsexual, non-romantic love (though a Roman/Greek word) which transcends all and stands for all human beings. I didn't have a word for that kind of love until reading King. It's the love which dominates my life, and the love which makes me a schizotypal, histrionic dodo. Agape love is sure to become extinct. Hell, without it many Indian tribes in the US might have lived. She stands a wee bit too close when you talk to her, and she wants to race you 3 blocks to purchase salads together. So you do. And she dances in the aisles of the store, and talks to anyone. At first I felt pressured, because I thought she might be interested in me. I don't think she is. She babbles a lot about her ex boyfriend, and I babble to her about my girlfriend. Strangely, we never talk math. People rarely understand agape. It's threatening. Creepy. A sign of insanity. Which reminds me! I spent a week (a long time ago) talking to a girl on the phone and exchanging emails. And then one day, when I was stricken by a very dark feeling of total depression, I wrote her an email and she never called or emailed me every again. I knew what I was doing, somehow. Our email exchanges were fun. Then I crossed the line. Whatever. Somehow, I think I knew what I was doing...but why the sabotage? Perhaps I really am crazy. It was agape all along though...agape. An indiscriminate love for all human beings, and all things human. Anyhow. I say I would write more, but I ruined my fonts perhaps permanently just then, and I need to see if they're fixable. This very page looks veerd. -not without agape, jimmy Oh yeah....more drunken sound files.
jimmy  Lard! This pic is from a site of lists I found while searching for "Man Facing Southwest." Some pretty interesting items. But the picture is classic! In fact I believe that I've seen it somewhere before (BPE? Regs? Temple? Church of Subgenius?) In France lardon is a sort of fatback sometimes served as a meat dish. Ah, those wacky French! Awwa \A/
Aw While searching for "Man Facing Southwest" I found a couple of interesting sites: Films which demostrate pathologies, Heh! This one's pretty interesting, written by Doktors! All of them [these movies] have created a greater awareness of ourselves as God, Heh! Self explanatory! And yes, they list all three original "Star Wars" movies! But since they include "2001", well, I give them the benefit of the doubt. And though there are gaps, their list does make me feel more god-like! DRAMATIC PRODUCTIONS OF INTEREST TO ATHEISTS AND FREE THINKERS and this from the The Center For Inquiry - West! A good film list with short synopses! I'd recommend at least half of these to be seen once! And maybe a fifth for repeat viewing! Overall a somewhat arbitrary list, though distinguished enough! Enough fun! I return you to your mundane lives! (Just Kidding ;-) Awwa \A/
Aw "I want my... I want my... I want my XYZ...." HA! You really are the man, Z! You Rock! (for those who don't know, "jimmy" has been known as "xyz_theory" (sp?) at Yahoo) Other film mentions, "K-Pax" (has been compared to "Man Facing Southeast" (or it it "Southwest?")), the film with Kevin Spacey as a mental patient (possibly with amnesia) who believes that he is from another planet, and I mentioned "...Over the Cuccoo's Nest" meaning "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and that gloious scene where Jack Nicholson (sp?), takes a bunch of the patients on a field trip. It's just that "Man Facing Southwherever" is the better of the three! It is an Argentine film in Spanish, with subtitles, possibly no longer available here in the USA, although at one point I rented it from Blockbuster. So it used to be available on video in the USA! A good fillem, if you have the opportunity to catch it! Thanks for the kudoos on my TV career, Heh! I actually had a couple more people come up to me and mention that they saw me, after my last post. This is more fame than I actually received in person notice for, than my fifteen seconds of fame on Steven Williams' and Pam Grier's Showtime show "Linc's" whereby I held a protest sign, "Eat Meat, Wear Fur" (I still have the sign), and was physically yanked out of line by Ms Pamela Grier, for attending her Anti-Gangsta Rap protest with the wrong sign! I still haven't washed that arm! Well sure I have, but I can still remember when, ah, just like yesterrday... (Actually that was 5 or 7 years ago!) Previous to that I'd done numerous public access appearances, skits and such, but Noone saw them, *sigh* Linc's Links: Hahahaha Show Guide, actually lists the show I was in, number 13, "Gangsta Rap!" Zap 2 It, weird, I got redierected the first time I clicked on that! But I managed to get back, that is a show review of the series I appeared on once, for about fifteen seconds. Another show list (still episode number 13, "Gangsta Rap") Fame, she is a b*tch! Awwa \A/
Aw Man Facing Southeast. Brilliant flick. There are quite a few references to the film as Man Facing Southwest however. Awwa, I wasn't sure what you meant when you were talking about K-Pax and some other film. Could you clear it up 'cause I'm curious. ___________________ Great to hear about your fame, dude! That's cool. "I want my...I want my...I want my Public Access..."
jimmy "A Man Standing Facing East" (or West or Northeast or Southwest or...?) is another great example of alienated aliens. I believe that the movie "K-Pax" may have been a remake of the original foreign film. Because it is a foreign film ("A Man Standing Facing East" and that means the original title may be quite different), I can't seem to find any references to it on the web. It has a similar premise to it as does "K-Pax" a man in a mental institute who claims to be from another planet. Although in this one we never find out that he wasn't from another planet. He leads some of the handicapped patients at the institution on a field trip (ala "...Over the Cuccoo's Nest") to a theatrical performance, the first and only the patients had ever seen. And otherwise inspres many of the patients onto greater self-discovery. All leading to the dismal solution that a doctor prescribes for the man, which is more medication, finally dissolving his ability to communicate to his home planet (which is what he was doing standing facing East to begin with). A sad ending, but overall a light-hearted and funny movie. Hey I'm a bit of a celebrity at work toady. Several people have come up to me to say that they'd seen me on TV over the weekend. Apparently a friend of mine, with whom I'd shot some video at my studio space, has edited the video and released it to the local public access channel. Which unbeknowst to me, ran a marathon, multiple repeat showing of the video over the weekend. First it was a delivery courier, "Hey, I saw you on TV last night! Can I get your autograph?" Then a co-worker said, "So how is Jaun Valdez today? Don't act you don't know what I mean..." with me scratching my head, trying to stimulate neurons to fill me in. When I finally realized she meant the video, I said, oh, the "Are You Hot' skit!" (Where I played an illegal alien migrant worker, who had signed the wrong form as a female contestant, who determined to win something, had camped it up trying to look sexy). After awhile a few others came to check on the new budding star, "I saw you on TV Saturday!" or "You were funny on TV! We've got a star working at the VA Retirement System!" *sigh* "Fame, ain't it a b*tch!" -The History Channel- Peace and Planetary Communications Awwa \A/
Aw  >Just be alone.
jimmy It is a little know fact (and getting littler by the minute) that Yodeling is the official language of the secret planet Master Yoda comes from. So far from being a joke this site is actually a secret Jedi recruitment centre. This first came to light during the great research period known as the Hollow Men epoch. And remember to sent out e-mails on the 3rd of May to all friends of the force - 'May The Fourth Be With You' (love this one - use it year on year). Some knowledge the world forgets at its own peril. July 21st is a Monday.
Ashok Attention. It's been decided. After all this college talk, and having everyone but me visit Yale, Princeton and Columbia, I've decided what I want to do with my life. After taking this course : http://www.yodelcourse.com/ I shall prepare to take over the world as "The Asian Yodeler". Of course, you, too, can take the yodeling course if you want. I'll still be better. Muhahaha. ha.
