Between enraged and engaged Buddhism
Remember that scene in Goodfellas, where Henry and Jimmy find out that Tommy was whacked for stomping out Billy Batts, and Henry says, "It was among the Italians. It was real greaseball shit." I think of this every time I see the words Dorje Shugden.

"Loaded with soul...under control"
Second of all, can anyone who commits the Ultimate Sin of not living amid downtown noise and crowding ever win? Move to the burbs: You are a throwback to the 50s and probably wear black socks with sandals. Move back to the city: We don't want your kind here.
You move to Queens, not Harlem.

I just can't imagine complaining about this. I mean, how entitled do you have to be to want to shut down a 30 year drum circle that's been there since you were in nappies and the neighborhood was a warzone?
Maybe they should buy a fucking drum and join the neighborhood.

How exactly is it a poor analogy? I think it's spot on as an example of a seemingly passive feature of a neighborhood, with deep historical roots and nods toward racism and classism, that upsets people greatly.
Isn't that what we're really talking about when we speak about "white yuppies" and gentrification -- racism and classism from both sides? Don't try to bullshit me and tell me it's otherwise.
Um,... [more]

More from them humans: Japanese rice field art. Totally wild.
Christ, is there anything the Japanese CAN'T do with rice?! They're like rice-wizards or something.

Heller v. D.C. Decided
So feel free to go on about your Second Amendment rights, but please realize that we are aware that you basically just like to see people get shot.
How's it feel up there? Good? Can I get you a pillow? That perch looks a little uncomfortable.
You can exercise your free speech, etc, all you like but it doesn't hurt me any. If you exercise your Second Amendment rights on me, I could become dead.... [more]

No, it isn't. You can claim it might be poor reasoning, it might be factually incorrect, or inconsistent, but I sincerely meant what I said (and how would you know anyway?)
I said it because I assumed you were being purposely daft. Turns out you're just naturally that way.

Wait. You don't own a TV?! Oh my god. You should totally mention that whenever possible.

I own a TV, but it's really tiny, I got it for free, and we can't actually watch anything because you can't get any over-the-air stations here. The last time it was on was January 5.
How many points do I get for that?
I award you 3. You lost out on 7 points though because I felt you questioned how cool you were. The affected, I-don't-own-no-tv swagger is what earns you the most points.

Geez. This is sad. I still basically believe in gun rights, and I still think the ruling is a good one overall, but not a single one of the arguments on either side really seems coherent or particularly persuasive to me.
This is Murrica! We don't need none of your there coherence malarkey.

It's Official.
Nader has no interest in winning elections, or reforming the two-party system. He simply wants to punish the Democrats. He's pretty much admitted this on more than one occasion.

"Prepare for death and follow me."
I was chattin it up with my old friend Yama the other day and he was like, "I really wish my horrifying entourage of ghouls and demons would stop taking those damn pics of me, or at least wait until I can save up for that new Estée Lauder pore minimizer."

Door Game
Playing stupid door switching games is most likely a reflection of a pathetic pursuit to make your life more interesting.
This tendency cost you nearly 2 minutes of your time, but it could have much larger implications in life...

Argument 3: The tribesmen force the visitor to commit suicide in the town square because he knows the color of his own eyes. They then, of course, play soccer with his head.

I love the aesthetics of urban decay just as much at the next upper-lower-middle class guy. But regrettably, these pictures just aren't all that good. Regrettably.

Why A Recession Might Be A Good Thing
Hating rich people is stupid. The fact is, people that have the most ease, pleasure and money in the world are just as blind to their situation as the people who are in constant agony.

Ghostface,
I bought bullet proof wallets when it came out. The day it came out! That shit didn't even go aluminum. And what's more, it was awful. I have nothing to feel bad about.
Go back to making kickass, cutting edge albums like Supreme Clientele, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, and Ironman and we'll buy your shit. Keep remaking the same mediocre album for 6 years and we won't, mmkay? It's up to you.

The same people who say rap music is not music are the sons and daughters, figuratively if not literally, of the people who said rock n roll was not music and jazz was just noise.
