Quick Update

I'm melting in the Advanced Lab editing my documentary that is essentially a discussion on everything wrong with Modern urban America. I currently Have 4 very rough minutes of scenes slapped together. it's really hard to edit without having done the voice over yet.

I hope this documentary doesn't play too dark, at one point I'm sitting and talking to my friend Lippman on my poarch and I say, "There's your race relations in Philadelphia: it starts with a bomb being dropped and end with no one giving a shit about you. It's almost like you live in occupied land. Like You're neighborhood is your country and the Philadelphia Police Department is the occupying foreign army."

I hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew, the subject my just be too wide and the story my never really find it's way.

But, hey, it's what I do and somehow it'll get done in the end.


Here's some retarded videos my friends and I put up on youtube.

Democratic Presidential Candidates

Yeah I've said since day one I want Barrack Hussein Obama to go to the show. But I was looking at all their websites the other day and only one of them had Crime as an issue on their site--and that was Dennis Kucinich. While Kucinich mostly rambled about improving the first line of defense while also making sure there was no more police brutality, he is the only one to even bother mentioning crime. Crime isn't getting talked about in the public forum, at all. If you live in a city you know how bad it's been getting every year. If you live in Philly, you've probably seen someone get killed on your street.

Sometimes I feel like Global Warming, Iraq an other issues take up so much room, a lot of domestic issues get lost. Also Only one of the candidates had the decriminalization of marijuana, again Kucinich. Now I feel this is also a gravely important issue--the only problem is that usually the most baked kids are advocating and whoever else brings it up is labeled as such. America, fucking everyone has tried pot, and a lot of them are habitual users. However when have you ever heard someone killing someone after they smoked, or raping someone, or getting behind the wheel and killing some kid--or really being angry at all--fucking never. Because all pot makes you want to do is eat, lie down and talk about profound shit or laugh for an hour and a half about a smudge on a napkin. That's pretty much it. However because it is a Category I or whatever it's called there are more people being arrested for marijuana than all violent crimes put together, on top of that 99% of them arrested for possession meaning some kid had like a nickel bag and was about to have a good time with all his friends and now is in prison with baby rapers. As a nation with 12% of our population behind bars and overcrowding at an absurd level people should realize what a mess this one law is making. A recent study has been done that showed that marijuana decriminalization would free up over a billion dollars of the taxpayers' money and would in no way hinder police work or raise crime rates.

Maybe it is Kucinich's job to bring up the issues the bigger candidates forget about so that they can be discussed in a national forum but come on, crime is more important than the US's international reputation. I'd rather for it to be unheard of to have over 400 murder's in a US city than change what faggot France or Italy think about us. Their scum bags anyway and when they play sports it shows.

Or maybe it'll be up to my generation to fix this too. You boomers are fucking worthless.

re's what I don't get

Remember the shit storm Clinton got for getting a beej?

what the fuck happened, where's the outrage. The current administration constantly does things that are actually illegal and at times evil and no one really says anything except for maybe Bill Maher. Are you serious? The dems should have been having a shit fit and threatened to impeach Bush everytime this happened; but they didn't because they're pussies. If this had been any other time and someone pulled shit like Georgy Boy he'd have gotten berated by representatives of places you've never even heard of. For chrissakes Lincoln got shit on constantly because, frankly, he was a bit of a dictator during the civil war--and Bush gets nothing. I think the Me Generation is so ingrained and people are so self absorbed that no one cares and mediocrity will reign supreme.

Personally it is the belief of my entire house (from radical to conservative) that we would love a president that doesn't come from a party and doesn't care about DC Bullshit or opinion polls and all that. Someone who can actually lead and not follow the nation. Oh my, I'm starting to sound like Mr. Maher. And if Bill fuckin' Maher and my friend Paul are agreeing on something then it has to be true or one of them has a tumor.

First, because the crazies in the right got their pres for 8 years I think it's only fair that we get a radical socialist pres for awhile--for balance. Then we start having Leaders that can Lead the whole country--not just half of it (or like 20% of it like G-Dubs is right now). Paul and I have agreed that there real hasn't been a good pres since JFK or LBJ. That was 40+ years ago folks. Just think about that.

Because if you're not being represented by your government then what's the point.

Taxation without Representation, anyone?

State of the World Address

I can see it coming from a mile away. Hell, I could see some of it happeneing 2 generations before mine.

The entire world's problems are going to be left for my generation: crime, poverty, global warming, class divisions, war, relations with other countries--everything. The scary part is that most people in my generation are self-absorbed children with grown up bodies. Or a fucking bro-dude. I can
t wait until congress is filled with kids named Tucker, Russell, Skylar, Tyler, Mitchell, Hunter,or Chad. They all pop their fucking collars and argue by trying to out bro each other.

"I think I understand what you're trying to do here Mitchell but it goes against my contingency."
"Do you know who my father is?"
"Do you know who my father is?"

Ugh. I hope they all fall off a cliff into a bowl of ebola.

We've already had a bro dude president and look how that turned out.

Oh, he wants to pop his collar so much.

Crime-wise we're living in the late 70s again waiting for the tidal wave of violent crime to engulf this nation again. If you live in a city you already know this, you've watched every crime statistic go up and up every year. No one with an actual power is trying to do anything about it.

Republicans are going to keep whining about religion, flag burning and other nonsense because that makes their insane unAmerican base feel like their actually getting some representation. When was the last time you feel like you were actually represented in tis republic, something you feel was actually passed as a law. I don't get this bullshit--we're in charge, the people. We can stop this whole mess of sending rich, two faced cocksuckers to DC to basically fuck around for years and ruin the name of this great country.

The world is going to hit a crescendo soon but we will fall from grace far sooner.

I have to go to work. Expect an update soon.
