The Drago We__ite: No BS Allowed

This new Chris Rock movie is pretty good. It has a positive, pro-black, pro-family message without being lame. It still has a lot of Chris Rock’s signature “I hate white people, but I hate stupid black people even more” even though Chris is mellowing some with age. It has a lot of New York vs. everywhere else humor. It has a lot of social class based humor.

But most importantly, it reinforced two of our deep-seated preconceived notions: (more…)

Our buddies over there at College Life Magazine just put up their new website. It looks very professional and is almost entirely Flash-based. You should go there and check out their interesting articles, crazy college stories, and pictures of hot multi-ethnic girls not smiling.

On The Hundreds today, they have picture of a girl who has LOVE LESS on her two wrists because her last name is Loveless. Then they say that a dude has HATE MORE on his wrists. We don’t know if that’s a joke, but it makes us want to marry a girl whose last name is Loveless so we can get HATE MORE tattoos.

No, not chicken pizza (although we do also like chicken pizza). Chichen Itza is a town of Mayan Ruins on the Yucatan Peninsula. They have a big pyramid, an observatory, a Mayan death-ball court, a bunch of smaller religious structures, a huge sinkhole that they used to sacrifice virgins into, and about ten thousand little Mayan guys running around trying to sell you crap.

We are still feeling numb about this. It hasn’t sunk in yet, really. The OC used to be the way that we knew the weekend was finally here. It was a common ground to relate to other people. It was what we watched while we got dressed and pregamed before going out on Thursday nights. It was how we knew what indie bands had finally sold out. It’s really the end of an era. Don’t say anything about how we can watch Gray’s Anatomy now, because that show totally sucks.

Peter is on IMDB for his role in Drew Payton’s award-nominated short, The Misadventures in Drifting Laterally. He’s kind of a big deal.

Apparently, there is a big controversy going on in the skateboarding world right now over blank decks. If you don’t know, blank decks are skateboards that shops or small companies make which don’t have any graphis on the bottom. Blanks cost slightly less to make, but the real savings are in the design and marketing areas. Blanks cost less to the end consumer and are bought by people who like skateboarding more than they like looking cool.

Unbelievably, the big companies who make the heavily designed and marketed boards are casting themselves as victims in this situation, saying that blank boards hurt their sales and will eventually ruin skateboarding. They are saying that if pros can’t sell boards, they will not be able to have teams and then they can’t make videos, etc. etc. They’ve even made a website about it, A World Without Pros. One of the people who is supporting this campaign is Tony Hawk, who has got to be a millionaire several times over by now. He probably wipes his ass with the money he makes off of his pro model boards. It’s like Jay-Z getting mad at cd bootlegging or something.

We think that whole thing is completely ridiculous. Back when we used to skateboard, we just bought whichever board was the widest. We always had size 13 feet, so fuck a graphic, we need that 8.5 inch. (That’s what she said)

In response to this BS, some guy has made A World Without CEOs to expose some of the myths about board making and graphics designing and all that. It’s almost an exact copy of the Pros website, which is awesome. Go look at it and school yourself on some skateboard politics.

Dykes to watch out for is a long running alternative comic strip which recently passed the 500 strip mark. Back in the college days when we were “experimenting” with creative writing classes, there was a professor in one of the English buildings who had a bunch of pro-gay propaganda (is that the right word?) on her door. She used to always have the week’s new DTWOF strip up and we would stop from time to time to check it out.

A lot of critics are giving Bloc Party shit for this cd because they think that it isn’t as good as the first Bloc Party cd. We think those critics sound like the review of Owen Wilson’s book in The Royal Tenenbaums and Bloc Party should be sitting there reading it like “Why would they make the point of saying that we are not a genius? Do they think we are especially not a genius?” Scratch that, it’s a great cd. They’ve done it again.

The haunting melodies and weird synthetic sounds are back again, as well as the fist pumping “yeah, this rocks!” tempos and the London hipster vibe that makes them so marketable. A lot of critics say that it sounds the same as the first cd, to which we say “yeah, it fucking better.” When your first cd is perfect, why mess with the formula? That’d be as foolhardy as buying your brakes at anywhere other than Meineke. They could make cd that was 11 remixes of “The Bluest Light” and we would still listen to it.
Also, any cd that has a song that makes numerous references to Less Than Zero by Bret Easton Ellis is cool to us.

Gym Class Heroes is our favorite band. You won’t hear us say that about anybody else. Their lyrics resonate with our souls, their music makes us want to dance and their swagger makes us want to copy them.
