I don't post here anymore (gogo http://naight.bol.ucla.edu) but I'm bored and procrastinating, and thought I'd brighten a couple random friend's pages.

I'm home from Australia in 4 weeks, in case you missed the memo.

And that's just crazy.

fare thee well.

excerpt from a comment on http://www.boycottriaa.com/article/14934 -

"The USA is governed by individuals and corporations with lots o' bucks. That is the governing class in the USA and just about every major public policy decision in the USA is left to Big Business to decide either directly or indirectly. There is essentially no power in the hands of the people (with a little 'p' ).

However, I do not think that the USA regime is a fascist one - Fascism comes from the idea of bringing the people together into an unbreakable whole. It comes from the Latin/Italian word for a bundle of sticks (related to the English word "faggot" ). The concept being that a bundle of sticks is more difficult to break than a single branch. In and of itself, the concept of assembling the people into a united, solid whole is not bad, BUT it also brings in rascism and xenophobia (those other guys can't be in our bundle of sticks because they are not made of the right wood) and that is where Fascism goes horribly wrong. The people governing the USA are not interested in assembling the population into an unbreakable whole, from my point of view they are interested in dividing and subjugating the population in order to make sure that they (the governing class) remain rich and get richer. The USA is not a democracy and it is not fascist, it is a simple Oligarchy motivated by greed. IMHO it has more to do with feudalism than fascism."

and a retort:
"I suppose using specifically engineered marketing to manipulate the public into a "solid whole" in order to foist your agenda on nations or the planet as a whole is not fascism? this marketing is not persuasion, it is developed by highly paid professional psychiatrists, behavioralists, anthropologists, and sociologists using research designed to boil down human motivations to their smallest common denominators, or "triggers" which can then be flipped using subtle technique. Much like hypnosis, but a lot more subtle."

and then a response to that from the first guy:
"what I meant is that the USA is not a fascist regime in the classical and idealistic sense of what fascism is about. (Also, I am not a fan of fascism in any flavor, idealistic or otherwise.) You are right, the governing forces in the USA want to gather the people into a bundle but not too make a stronger nation (as classical fascism would promote). The people governing the USA want to have the population at large in a bundle because it is easier to control a homogeneous, hypnotized population. To me that is simply oligarchy and avarice and not really fascism. The ruling class just wants to make sure that its position of power is safe. I do not think they are thinking about anything more complex than lining their pockets and making sure that when they go to sleep at night and then wake up in the morning, their position is safe and sound.

You are right about the various messages sent out into the general public in the USA - they are developed by people who have studied well how to control societies and it is being used by the ruling class in the USA to keep the population of the USA submissive and sedated."

i think this is fascinating.

i also would totally support the ammendment it talks of in the article.

why?

2004-11-13T05:25:50Z

a year ago, there was no chance.

about 3 months ago, i jokingly referred to 25%.

a little over a week ago, it became about 50/50.

4 days ago, 75% chance.

2 days ago, 90%.

and yesterday 95, where it will stay for about two weeks, i guess, when i predict it will become 100%.

at which point i'll let you know.

damn the man.

ok, i know i've posted about this before, but it finally started to work:

http://www.freeiPods.com/default.aspx?referer=11182604

my deal with blockbuster finally went through, and i was able to cancel with NO CHARGE, and all i'm waiting is for 2 more people to do the same, before they SEND ME MY FREE IPOD (to quote the website).

i know i said it before, but here are the steps:

1) sign up for a free hotmail.com email account (to spam guard the bastards), and use it for the site.

2) then, the 'deal' you have to sign up for, select the BLOCKBUSTER one, it's the first on the list. you give your credit card info (don't be paranoid, it's blockbuster guys), and your new hotmail account.

3) it takes about 8-9 days for the freeipods.com site to recognize that you signed up with the blockbuster people (rumor has it, they hand check EVERY offer that you attempt, to make sure you actually did it). this gives you 5-6 days to cancel the blockbuster contract (which i did), at NO COST. i just cancelled mine, and they did not charge my account at all.

4) then you just get 5 friends to sign up through *your* referral link.

this is risk free, guys, you have nothing to lose but 10 minutes of procrastinating online (c'mon, who uses the internet to be productive, honestly).

even if you already have an ipod (hi eddy!), you should do it anyway for the following reason: it takes about a month for you to recieve it, after you're done with the deal (you following me, admiral?), which'll schedule it to arrive here just in time for christmas. and wouldn't that just be the best gift for someone? wouldn't it, eddy? yeah, i'm actually going to give it to my mom, because she was playing with mine a few weeks ago, and she said, "ooh, i really want one of these." then i told her how much it cost. and she laughed, and said, "well forget that."

again, for the non-believers, i personally know someone it worked for (gracey kim), and you can actually check the verification at this site:

i can't stop thinking about NINJAS!!!

2004-11-07T12:42:48Z

last night, i had a myriad of dreams, which is interesting/rare for me. not only did i have at least 4 or 5 different threads of dreams (like, different stories), i can distinctly remember *having* them, and specifics regarding... 3 of them, i guess.

in one, it was an x-men-esque dream, where i had powers like nightcrawler... the second i remember (in no particular order), i was in town, like a rural town, running away from something (cliche much?)... but i think this one may have stemmed from or arisen from the x-men one. ... hm. should have written this stuff out right after i woke up.

anyway, only point of writing this, is that the woman i'm going to marry was in the most vivid of the three. :)

and from that, take what you will.

17 Reasons Not to Slit Your Wrists...by Michael Moore

Dear Friends,

Ok, it sucks. Really sucks. But before you go and cash it all in, let's, in the words of Monty Python, “always look on the bright side of life!” There IS some good news from Tuesday's election.

Here are 17 reasons not to slit your wrists:

1. It is against the law for George W. Bush to run for president again.

2. Bush's victory was the NARROWEST win for a sitting president since Woodrow Wilson in 1916.

3. The only age group in which the majority voted for Kerry was young adults (Kerry: 54%, Bush: 44%), proving once again that your parents are always wrong and you should never listen to them.

4. In spite of Bush's win, the majority of Americans still think the country is headed in the wrong direction (56%), think the war wasn't worth fighting (51%), and don’t approve of the job George W. Bush is doing (52%). (Note to foreigners: Don't try to figure this one out. It's an American thing, like Pop Tarts.)

5. The Republicans will not have a filibuster-proof 60-seat majority in the Senate. If the Democrats do their job, Bush won't be able to pack the Supreme Court with right-wing ideologues. Did I say "if the Democrats do their job?" Um, maybe better to scratch this one.

6. Michigan voted for Kerry! So did the entire Northeast, the birthplace of our democracy. So did 6 of the 8 Great Lakes States. And the whole West Coast! Plus Hawaii. Ok, that's a start. We've got most of the fresh water, all of Broadway, and Mt. St. Helens. We can dehydrate them or bury them in lava. And no more show tunes!

7. Once again we are reminded that the buckeye is a nut, and not just any old nut -- a poisonous nut. A great nation was felled by a poisonous nut. May Ohio State pay dearly this Saturday when it faces Michigan State.

8. 88% of Bush's support came from white voters. In 50 years, America will no longer have a white majority. Hey, 50 years isn't such a long time! If you're ten years old and reading this, your golden years will be truly golden and you will be well cared for in your old age.

9. Gays, thanks to the ballot measures passed on Tuesday, cannot get married in 11 new states. Thank God. Just think of all those wedding gifts we won't have to buy now.

10. Five more African Americans were elected as members of Congress, including the return of Cynthia McKinney of Georgia. It's always good to have more blacks in there fighting for us and doing the job our candidates can't.

11. The CEO of Coors was defeated for Senate in Colorado. Drink up!

12. Admit it: We like the Bush twins and we don't want them to go away.

13. At the state legislative level, Democrats picked up a net of at least 3 chambers in Tuesday's elections. Of the 98 partisan-controlled state legislative chambers (house/assembly and senate), Democrats went into the 2004 elections in control of 44 chambers, Republicans controlled 53 chambers, and 1 chamber was tied. After Tuesday, Democrats now control 47 chambers, Republicans control 49 chambers, 1 chamber is tied and 1 chamber (Montana House) is still undecided.

14. Bush is now a lame duck president. He will have no greater moment than the one he's having this week. It's all downhill for him from here on out -- and, more significantly, he's just not going to want to do all the hard work that will be expected of him. It'll be like everyone's last month in 12th grade -- you've already made it, so it's party time! Perhaps he'll treat the next four years like a permanent Friday, spending even more time at the ranch or in Kennebunkport. And why shouldn't he? He's already proved his point, avenged his father and kicked our ass.

15. Should Bush decide to show up to work and take this country down a very dark road, it is also just as likely that either of the following two scenarios will happen: a) Now that he doesn't ever need to pander to the Christian conservatives again to get elected, someone may whisper in his ear that he should spend these last four years building "a legacy" so that history will render a kinder verdict on him and thus he will not push for too aggressive a right-wing agenda; or b) He will become so cocky and arrogant -- and thus, reckless -- that he will commit a blunder of such major proportions that even his own party will have to remove him from office.

16. There are nearly 300 million Americans -- 200 million of them of voting age. We only lost by three and a half million! That's not a landslide -- it means we're almost there. Imagine losing by 20 million. If you had 58 yards to go before you reached the goal line and then you barreled down 55 of those yards, would you stop on the three yard line, pick up the ball and go home crying -- especially when you get to start the next down on the three yard line? Of course not! Buck up! Have hope! More sports analogies are coming!!!

17. Finally and most importantly, over 55 million Americans voted for the candidate dubbed "The #1 Liberal in the Senate." That's more than the total number of voters who voted for either Reagan, Bush I, Clinton or Gore. Again, more people voted for Kerry than Reagan. If the media are looking for a trend it should be this -- that so many Americans were, for the first time since Kennedy, willing to vote for an out-and-out liberal. The country has always been filled with evangelicals -- that is not news. What IS news is that so many people have shifted toward a Massachusetts liberal. In fact, that's BIG news. Which means, don't expect the mainstream media, the ones who brought you the Iraq War, to ever report the real truth about November 2, 2004. In fact, it's better that they don't. We'll need the element of surprise in 2008.

Feeling better? I hope so. As my friend Mort wrote me yesterday, "My Romanian grandfather used to say to me, 'Remember, Morton, this is such a wonderful country -- it doesn't even need a president!'"

But it needs us. Rest up, I'll write you again tomorrow.

Yours,

Michael Moore

2004-11-03T20:41:01Z

come on... that's just priceless.

from here, i see two directions they can go in, with 'slogans,' should they decide to change:
either, "it was inevitable..." or maybe just the slightly less covert,
"you don't know the power, of the dark side..."

i've got to get away from here...

2004-11-03T20:21:27Z

it's official, according to polls from throughout the night and this morning, the results are in!

we're RETARDED.

11 states voted to support gay marriage constitutional ban.
republicans took control of house, senate, and the moron actually got over 58 MILLION votes. which means, now that he doesn't have to worry about re-election, and will have full support from other areas of government, he'll be able to do whatever the hell he wants.

"oh, we won't have a draft, he promised he'd 'try his hardest' to make it not so."

i'm not fucking kidding: let's get this started.

maybe i WILL vote today:

2004-11-02T20:59:47Z

on more election-day news, i am in totally in love with this idea. let's do it anyway, regardless of election outcome!

so apparently, you just give them a real email address (i went to hotmail and made a free new one, because they spam like crazy), sign up for an online deal (i did blockbuster... it's free for two weeks, and apparently you can cancel it within a week, at no charge. soooo... free part 2), and get 5 friends to sign up through *your* referral link.

dude. do it. :)

ps: i am a consumer whore.
pps: even if you already have an ipod... you just sell it on ebay for 250. and hey, look, you just made a free $250 for 20 minutes of work online.

In the Oval Office in December 2002, the president met with a few ranking senators and members of the House, both Republicans and Democrats. In those days, there were high hopes that the United States-sponsored "road map" for the Israelis and Palestinians would be a pathway to peace, and the discussion that wintry day was, in part, about countries providing peacekeeping forces in the region. The problem, everyone agreed, was that a number of European countries, like France and Germany, had armies that were not trusted by either the Israelis or Palestinians. One congressman-the Hungarian-born Tom Lantos, a Democrat from California and the only Holocaust survivor in Congress-mentioned that the Scandinavian countries were viewed more positively. Lantos went on to describe for the president how the Swedish Army might be an ideal candidate to anchor a small peacekeeping force on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Sweden has a well-trained force of about 25,000. The president looked at him appraisingly, several people in the room recall.

"I don't know why you're talking about Sweden," Bush said. "They're the neutral one. They don't have an army."

Lantos paused, a little shocked, and offered a gentlemanly reply: "Mr. President, you may have thought that I said Switzerland. They're the ones that are historically neutral, without an army." Then Lantos mentioned, in a gracious aside, that the Swiss do have a tough national guard to protect the country in the event of invasion.

Bush held to his view. "No, no, it's Sweden that has no army."

The room went silent, until someone changed the subject.

A few weeks later, members of Congress and their spouses gathered with administration officials and other dignitaries for the White House Christmas party. The president saw Lantos and grabbed him by the shoulder. "You were right," he said, with bonhomie. "Sweden does have an army."
