..and here I am scrolling down through a list of performers ...only to get Rick Rolled at the end. Thanks, Satyr.
I agree about Taio Cruz. That dude can't dance for anything. If you're going to sing dance music, you best learn some rhythm and moves!! I watched the video for "Stereo Hearts" by Gym Class Heroes. The lead singer of GCH is boring boring boring to watch. He has no presence at all. But I do absolutely LOVE that song. :smt023
I may consider looking into Michel Foucault and read into his books. Anyone here who's familiar with his philosophy...would you recommend reading any of his materials or simply stick with his influences?
Never stick with who's been influenced, always go to the source. I'm not big on postmodernism because I prefer narrative construction, and have some tenuous faith in the notion of "progress." You can start with Power/Knowledge as a primer.
I'm conversing with someone who recommended to read into Foucault. And the book she referred to me was Discipline & Punish. I'll definitely consider Power/Knowledge for starters, but only when I have the extra time to read. By the way, I understand your reasoning as to NOT go by the influenced. However, I would argue that even those sources had an influence as well. So, I would say overall that even there is some value in postmodern philosophy.
The media is stating an "epic" storm is bearing down on Alaska and ready to tear her down. I hope ppl are doing ok. Mother nature seem to be angry with the world.
- Today is Wednesday. "Which means what?" you may ask. - Which means, I'm going to the strip club for a 2hr lunch as I do every Wednesday. "Whats your point?" you are probably thinking to yourself. - No point, really.... this is the random conversation thread, after all. IF you really need a point... I suppose I can make one for you. Point: In these tough economic times, strip clubs remain one of the most cost effective forms of entertainment. For one, they're not affected by inflation... since my strip club going career began in the late 90's, the vagina has remained one dollar. There have been mild increases in the cost of lap dances, but the most drastic that I've witnessed has been about a total of $5 increase over a span of 10-years. That's fifty cents a year.,. almost nothing. Compare that to other opportunities to get up close and personal with entertainers, ie.,. taking a picture with William Shatner at a Star Trek convention where the autographed picture can run anywhere between $50 and $100. If anyone needs me between 12:30 and 2:30 today, you can find me in the champagne room making a hand puppet out of a 22yr old Russian college students asshole.
Alexisnow :smt043 And good points on strip clubs and the economy. Kudos to you for finding a bargain in entertainment and going for it.
An internet meme or phrase can gain some momentum over time if the quality of the phrase or word can generate mass appeal and longevity. There I think I should start using the phrase "godfuck" and its many variations as my personal phrase for any given moment. I'll even include "Jesus-Shits" and "Doodle-Dicks" for some added colorful language.
So, you wouldn't be offended if I threw your name around in a disrespectful way, right? Or someone who means a great deal to you, I can be vulgar and disrespectful about them because it suits me to?
Hmmm, it's a matter of how colorful the words are. Plus, I speak on expression. It wouldn't make any sense if I use "By the Dark Knight's Anal Cords" and people would mostly take that as comical. When I'm mad, I have to let out some anger and without conviction. They're considered "strong" for a reason, but it's justifiable when one's anger is at its peak that they have to curse out something or someone.
