Unavailable Sunday... will return on Monday.

Fun little quotes over this past week.

“Where’s he from?” asked one NBA scout on Tuesday night. “Southern California? That explains it. I’m from Brooklyn, where you're not allowed to be nice.”
In regards to Gabe Pruitt, Boston Celtics Point Guard.

BBJ is definitely a great style for street fighting. It's used by homos worldwide. The Bad BlowJob was created by my ex-girlfriend and she now teaches full time at the local gym. And let me tell ya, when utilized properly, there's NO defense.
In regards to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, UFC 100 discussion.

This next portion could be considered in poor taste, but he's been dead for a year and a half. So, too bad.

The ledger reads:
Batman 1
Joker 0

E! is reporting that production has began on “The Patriot 2.” Heath Ledger will once again play the role of the dead son.

What does Jack Nicholson’s potryal of the Joker have that Heath Ledger’s doesn’t. A chance for a sequel.

If you think Heath Ledger jokes aren't funny... just ask Heath Ledger, he died laughing.

The REAL ohko.

"also, i'm sure you can't beat me in a fist fight and your penis is much smaller than mine."

It has been brought to my attention that I must include pictures and/or witty comments because that is what people have come to expect (rather, demand) of me.

Reality vs Perception

Another reason not to log off. End male chauvinism.

Not to be confused with the male conquering gamer...

...and YES we all look like this.

Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett died today.

East meets West

I've never liked the idea of marketing 'east meets west' whenever it comes to asians or anything deemed 'eastern' and the western world. It seems to be the only type of [slight] open racism that hasn't been addressed yet. Often times, used to inadequately illustrate cultural and physical differences (re: stereotypes) between the two conflicting parties.

Sorry Yao, you might be 7'6" but you're still invisible.

Once the novelty of an asian going first overall in the NBA draft wore off, so too did the Visa commercials... and I don't even recall him getting a Gatorade or Nike deal. I know China is pretty adept at censorship and controlling what goes on in the media, but no one talks about Yao anymore. He had a perfect game in game 1 of the playoffs, and it barely blipped the radar as far as national media was concerned - it was just Kobe getting a pat on the back for not raping anyone. Which I guess is okay, since I don't condone rape... not within the United States anyways, since it's always a topic of poignant regret when you're caught.

You don't see the marketing wizards do Africa vs America, do you? or how about Angry Black meets Privileged White? It simply doesn't happen. Instead you see shit like Chungking cop vs Street Kings or repeated outtakes and nonstop airing of William Hung's buffoonery (which earned him a fat check, but that's neither here nor there) dancing like a retard on fire with a cracked out rendition of 'she bangs.'

Shut the fuck up - no witty caption.

Is that our future in the media, the stark contrast to the western world with their big bug eyes and our tiny slant eyes. The return (Mustang 2010) of the Legendary 5.0 liter big block V8 vs the 2.5 liter turbocharged boxer flat-4 banger? I don't mind the blatant attempts to capitalize on our features or flaws... but at least be reasonable. Is it too much to ask for one or two 'cool' asians to make it big without having to resort to selling ramen noodles or wondering if the next person who see's me near Michael Vick's dogs ask "Hey, you gonna eat that" (okay, that never happened to me... but it'd be funny I guess).

Yeah, that's not happening anytime soon.

See you next time, when Black meets White... in Planet of the Apes.

And now, for completely unrelated things.

Just a picture to show the average fastball pitcher compared to a knuckleball pitcher.

Testing Windows 7 in virtual environment - gotta solitaire. Free from the clutches of 3 2x cards on maple... free. Free. FREE!!

*Edit* Here's something interesting to note, Windows 7 seemed to automatically emulate an Intel based NIC which Windows XP failed to do while virtualised BUT neither NAT nor the emulated NIC could connect online regardless whether I tunneled through the HOST NIC or guest NIC. Of further interest, when I emulate both via loopback adapter and tunnel through HOST machine, suddenly I'm able to establish a network connection without interrupting the HOST machine.

Remember the Sony Ericsson 'Idou'.... well, it's finalized. Welcome the Satio!

It's been announced today that the Symbian-powered 'Idou' unveiled at Mobile World Congress earlier this year will be coming to market as the "Satio." The full 640 x 350 3.5-inch touchscreen device features a whopping 12.1 megapixel camera, dual-band HSPA, microSD expansion (yes, microSD, not Memory Stick Micro), and a xenon flash. It'll be available in three colors -- black, silver, and bordeaux -- this October.

Yay!

* Update 5.27.2008 *

It's been a while since I've written anything, hasn't it? well fear not! I've got a minor grievance that's been itching to become a major rant. It happened to come upon me, as so many things often do, as the sun was rising, the birds were chirping and with the world devoid of entertainment at such an early time of the day.

Warning: Explicit language, [im]mature themes, dialectic logic, morbid humor.

Men should be able to defend themselves from women at any time.

Frankly, it's sickening how men are socially trained to be the equivalent of gays in the military. The idea of self defense is just not allowed. Ask any guy when was the last time he laid a finger on a girl, and all you'll get back is a sheepish look. The typical guy is NOT suppose to ever physically reciprocate in any way, shape or form. It's simply socially unacceptable to retaliate in any way and I'm tired of it. I'm tired of the continued pussification of the American male. I say the American male, because in other cultures... the fairer sex is put down like stray cats when they get out of line. We can thank Equality Now for that.

Here's the truth: when a woman attacks a guy, he has no recourse but to ignore her. Thanks to testosterone and males, on average, having thirty percent more muscle mass... we're guilted into being lame weak motherfuckers or risk being ostracized for defending ourselves. Since birth we've be preprogrammed, much like your TiVo, to stop and record the whole incident in our heads and replay it while feeling like a complete faggot for not standing up for ourselves because that's how we're taught. It's obsolete male impulses from a hundred years ago... further reinforced with sensitivity training. Another stupid fucking way to keep guys down. Why the fuck do guys need to be more like women when women are fighting to be equal to guys. Stop pulling us down when you're trying to claw your way up. It's stupid bullshit.

So here we are, almost a decade into the new millenium. A girl can walk up to a boy, harass him verbally... then physically, and still claim to be a victim the second a boy touches her. Not to mention he has to be embarassed by the whole fucking ordeal before being publicly castrated. Womens rights has gotten men so scared to do anything that it's almost criminal how they've disarmed such proud hunters. We've gone from holding spears to being queers when it comes to self defense. However, the tides have changed because we are in fact in a new age of equality!

I'm not old fashioned and certainly no longer give a shit about defending myself. If a girl hits me and I've done nothing to deserve it, the whole fragile image of women goes straight out the window and I'll lay her ass out. I'm not Usain fucking lightning Bolt, I'm not going to run like hell. Equal rights is equal rights. If you demand to be like men, paid like men, respected by men, treated like men... you better take punches like a man if you provoke one. Provocation is an invitation to a violent confrontation. I'm tired of the stigma. No double standards - you're not a helpless victim (which is why feminism is a joke, they don't ever want to give up the double standards). We've accomplished a lot in the realm of equality, no reason to stop now. So if you want to pick a fight, sit back and enjoy the cowardice of modern man... you're going to find out the hard way that you can only push a guy so far before he enters into a primal fury, unleashes the beast all over you and compassionately records and uploads the results on youtube.

Battle of East vs West... wasn't much of a battle. It was a massacre. Hatton might as well should've been the student raising his hand at Tiananmen Square hoping and praying it'll somehow stop the tank from trampling him. It was as one sided as early Tyson fights (I'm talking before Buster Douglas, when he was knocking out people in the first round... or people would surrender in the second, too afraid to come out).

Battle Swine Flu in style.
