Smartly Pretty

Your love affair with Matt Stover is the weirdest part about you. Weirder than any of your weird shit.

I like Ho-chi minh. How many dictators are revered in the country they dictated? "Ho-chi Minh City" still exists. There are museums about him. His fucking body is on display in the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum. Badass. LEGIT EDIT: hahaha @ Me and Kamala having very syntactically similar posts.

Sweet. Can we hear some stuff you've done?

Right now I just want to make pretty simple music and get a basic understanding of what I can do and how I can do it. Could I record a live instrument and then digitally fuck with it in a DAW? That could be pretty cool.

So, as someone with a Mac, who has absolutely no knowledge of making digital music (other than fuckin' around with my swank-ass synthesizer), but thinks it sounds like fun...where do I start. I get the idea that Live is for more advanced, uh, musicians (?) so where do I start?

Yeah, Books-A-Million is the closest book store, which is in Orange Park, so I have to actually cross a fucking bridge to get to a book store. Although Fleming Island is becoming a slightly better place to be a teenager...by May we'll have a movie theater. And yeah, I have to buy my own books.

I figured I'd make a thread for this because it's kind of a downer when right in the middle of a drama-filled Secret Life chat I interrupt an Ashley Juergens monologue to see if anyone's read Fast Food Nation. Plus, I think TSM has a pretty high number of teachers and I'm for whatever reasons always interested in hearing what they teach... Anyway, I was just assigned "Amusing Ourselves to Death" by Neil Postman. I have no idea what this is. Any good? Should I actually read this? The nearest book store is legitimately 20 minutes away (welcome to North Florida) and it's a shitty book store at that. Is it worth the money in gas it takes to get over there?

The Leafs' radio PBP guy is really bad. I have no idea what's going on.

Wade Redden has a PPG... ...Wade Redden has a PPG? Tortorella COTY

I was pretty wrong about the Devils being terrible, but I think I was on the ball when I said the Rolston signing was retarded.

Wristcutters fucking ruled. So did Hot Rod. Everything else, whatever.

Kenny Britt to the Giants, man. Tall, fast, local, touchdown machine. He's Plaxico Burress sans crazy.

Is this a croque-monsieur? I bet VX knows. What's a croque-monsieur?

"Suck my diction." There might be a joke to be made about being "Syntaxholes" but I can't tell if that works.

Dude, that hipster runoff thing was an awesome read. Nice link. I read the SNY network of blogs pretty regularly. MetsBlog is fantastic, Matthew Cerrone is a great guy, always has useful information and some pretty good insight. On the other hand, sister blog TheKnicksBlog is really really bad, but I don't know where else to read so I usually read that. The head blogger is this guy, Tommy Dee. About once a week or so he has a blog post about how he's a legitimate credible journalist and should not be taken lightly because he's a "just a blogger." That's fine, I like that he has pride in what I assume is his job (this is an SNY sponsored blog after all). But he's the most unprofessional journalist of all time, and generally has no information. He curses in every blog post he makes. That's fine, I curse all the time, but I curse when I'm talking to my friends or whatever. So the other day when he said that a foul call on David Lee was "horseshit" I sent him an e-mail saying that if he wants his blog to be treated as a credible journalistic source, he has to write it like on. He told me to fuck myself.

I'm with Czech, the second we can't make fun of grown men who have unhealthy obsessions with comic book characters...well then we just can't make fun of anyone...and if we can't make fun of anyone at TSM then TSM really is dead.

I'm fucking rolling at "Very attractive in a way that I can't explainlord Perry".

I hear babies are quite the time suck.

I don't feel like they're "banking" on that, considering there's a good chance they might even make the playoffs this year, and when you consider how many players are actually under contract in 2010 (something like 4) and how many players are actually free agents in 2010, they won't come up empty. Even if it's not LeBron or Wade or Bosh or whoever, they'll add free agents in 2010 just so they can fill out a roster.

Like you're not dying to say John Paxson. Anyway, it's Isiah. I'll let Seth Meyers explain why. "The jury in the Isiah Thomas sexual harassment case found the Knicks coach guilty Tuesday and awarded Anucha Browne Sanders $11 million dollars in punitive damages. Browne Sanders would have gotten more from the Knicks but she's not a washed-up shooting guard with bad knees"

It's not kosher for passover but it's fine every other time of the year.

I didn't know that I could get kosher-for-passover soda. That's awesome. When's passover this year? April? I'll be on the lookout.

Would I be a better poster if I were a middle aged transexual or something? I could pretend if you wanted. I might even be able to keep you guys fooled for 7 years.

A good way to be helpful and get good dialogue going is to start good dialogue. Cheech does that, which is why I like him, but this Jr. Modding nonsense is just annoying.

Cheech, you've really got to drop this whole schtick
