Me and Kanye... are going at it.

Kanye West saw my blog and was so offended he responded in his blog... which I imagine has many more readers.
So here is what he typed at his blog on http://www.kanyeuniversecity.com/

I am sick of negative people who just sit around trying 2 plot my downfall... Why???? I understand if people don't like me because I like me or if people think tight clothes look gay or people say I run my mouth to much, But this Bonnaroo thing is the worst insult I've ever had in my life. This is the most offended I've ever been... this is the maddest I ever will be. I'm typing so fucking hard I might break my fucking Mac book Air!!!!!!!! Call me any name you want.... arrogant, conceited, narcissistic, racist, metro, fag whatever you can think of.... BUT NEVER SAY I DIDN'T GIVE MY ALL! NEVER SAY I DIDN'T GIVE MY ALL! THIS SHOWS NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY TO BE GOOD AT SOMETHING THERE WILL BE PEOPLE THERE TO LIE ABOUT YOU AND BRING YOU DOWN! LIKE WAYNE SAYS PLEASE DON'T SHOOT ME DOWN CAUSE I'M FLYING! I'M FUCKING HURT BY THIS ONE. ALL I CARE ABOUT ARE THE FANS. JUST SAY THIS OUT LOUD IN A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE, "KANYE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT GIVING A GOOD PERFORMANCE." CAN ANYONE HONESTLY SAY THAT ????????? HAS ANYONE EVEN TAKEN THE TIME TO AT LEAST DO THE MATH??? BONNAROO SHOULD HAVE RELEASED A STATEMENT IN MY DEFENSE BUT SINCE THEY HAVEN'T LET'S BREAK DOWN THE WALLS ON THIS TRUMAN SHOW AND LET YOU KNOW WHAT REALLY OCCURRED!!! FOR OVER A MONTH WE WENT BACK AND FORTH ON WETHER OR NOT WE COULD EVEN FIT MY STAGE AT THE FESTIVAL. ONE DAY THEY WOULD SAY YES... WE'D SEND THEM OUR SPECS THEN THEY THEY'D SAY OK... THEN THEY WOULD SEND SPECS BACK THAT DIDN'T FIT THE STAGE. WE WERE OBVIOUSLY DEALING WITH FUCKING IDIOTS WHO DIDN'T REALLY HAVE THE CAPACITY TO REALLY PUT ON THIS SHOW PROPERLY. THEY TRIED 2 GIVE ME A TIME SLOT WERE IT WAS STILL LIGHT OUTSIDE ... I HAVE A FUCKING LIGHT SHOW DUMB ASS, IT'S NOT CALLED GLOW IN THE DARK FOR NO REASON SQUID BRAINS! MY PEOPLE WORKED OUT A COMPROMISED STAGE PLOT AND A 3AM TIME SLOT AND I AGREED. FAST FOWARD TO THE DAY OF THE SHOW. MY PRODUCTION MANAGER TRIED TO LOAD IN FOR 24 HOURS BEFORE I WENT ON STAGE BUT THE FESTIVAL WOULDN'T ALLOW US TO DO ANYTHING UNTILL PEARL JAM LEFT THE STAGE. PEARL JAM ENDED ONE HOUR
LATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AT THAT POINT WE'RE RACING AGAINST THE SUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AT 4:20AM DON COMES BACK 2 THE BUS AND TELLS ME, " IT WOULD TAKE 45 MORE MINUTES TO PUT ALL YOUR PYRO IN!" I SAY I HAVE TO GET OUT THERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE . I HIT THE STAGE AND PEOPLE HAD BEEN THROWING SHIT ON THE STAGE AND HAD ACTUALLY HIT THE JANE SCREEN WITH, I GUESS BOTTLES OR SOMETHING AND HAD BROKEN MY FUCKING SCREEN. REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE A SHORTY AND WATER WOULD HIT THE TV?????? WHEN I GOT 2 "THROUGH THE WIRE" I STEPPED ON THE FRONT PART OF MY STAGE AND THERE WAS SO MUCH LIQUID ON THE STAGE I COULDN'T MOVE WITHOUT SLIPPING. I HAD TO ADJUST MY WHOLE PERFORMANCE STYLE BECAUSE OF IT. A FEW MORE SONGS IN AND THE SONG WAS ON IT'S WAY UP.. I CUT A FEW SONGS FROM THE SET BECAUSE I WANTED PEOPLE 2 EXPERIENCE STRONGER WHILE THERE WAS STILL SOME DARKNESS TO PERFORM IT IN. I'VE STRUGGLED WITH STRONGER FROM IT'S CONCEPTION. REMEMBER LAST SUMMER WHEN I CANCELED SOME TV APPEARANCES. IT WAS BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO PERFORM STRONGER IN THE DAYTIME. ANYONE WHO CAME TO THE GLOW TOUR CAN UNDERSTAND WHY I WANTED PEOPLE TO SEE IT PROPERLY. IT BROKE MY HEART THAT I COULDN'T GIVE THESE FANS STRONGER IN IT'S GREATEST FORM... BY THE TIME I GOT TO STRONGER IT WAS DAYTIME AND IT BROKE MY HEART. I'M SORRY TO EVERYONE THAT I DIDN'T HAVE THE ABILITY 2 GIVE THE PERFORMANCE I WANTED TO. I'M SORRY... SOMETIMES I GO 2, 3 DAYS W/O SLEEP WORKING ON MY PERFORMANCE... I HAVE TO ICE MY KNEES AFTER EVERY SHOW AND THEY HURT WHEN I WALK THROUGH THE AIRPORT... HAVING AN EXPENSIVE STAGE CUTS MY PAYDAY IN HALF... CALL ME WHAT YOU WANT BUT NEVER SAY I DIDN'T GIVE MY ALL!!!


- Don't let his Graduation CD title fool you...

"you should be honored by my LATENESS, that I would even show up for this fake shit"

So I'm listening to Opie and Anthony, and Jim Norton goes and mentions how he did The Bonaroo Festival last week and while there... Kanye West turned out to be the biggest cockbag ever.

Apparently, Kanye was scheduled to go on at about 8 one night, on like a secondary side-stage... but that wasn't good enough. So he asked for a spot on the main stage, and for a late night time because he had an impressive light show/glow in the dark set.

So Bonaroo fits him into a 2:45am time slot, after Pearl Jam, which gave him about two hours to take apart Pearl Jams stage and set up his elaborate set.

Anyway... to make a long story short, Kanye West doesn't go on stage til about 4:25am... which gave his awesome light show set... I dunno.. maybe a half hour of full effectiveness?
Well the sun came up shortly afterward, I suppose... I can't remember the last time I was up before the sun... it comes up, I know that much.

Anyhow... the websites I double checked on this story for were littered with excuses from his fans for him... always... not his fault.
- It's Bonaroo's fault.. his contract said he'd go on a certain time.
- It's Pearl Jam's fault... they went over their allotted time
- It's the dumb hicks who work on stage crews fault... they took too long to take apart and set up new sets.
- It's everyone in the worlds fault... except Kanye.

Right... right... I'm sure.
I'm sure the people at Bonaroo completely ignored the terms of the contract for one of their main attractions. Only 40,000 people could have watched him on that secondary stage at 8pm. Apparently Kanye thought every person at that festival was there to see him.
Pearl Jam, yeah.. I'm sure they're the ones responsible... I can see how they'd be responsible since they were one of the main headling bands and they played an extra 40 minutes when... no one was supposed to go on for hours after them. How inconsiderate...
And you know... you're probably right about those roadies, they probably had no idea how to set up those sets... which would have explained why they were asigned those jobs.

You peoople are just fans of a complete asshole and are in denial.
Pearl Jam only played an extra 40 minutes, so that would have given the roadies still an hour and 20 minutes to switch sets... and guess what... Kanye still didn't go on stage for 2 hours and twenty minutes.. so what you're suggesting is that it took over 3 hours for them to make a set transition?

Now, I'm not a fan of Kanye... but I genuinely like everything of his that I've heard... but I HATE... DESPISE!!!... fucking LOATHE... this egocentric, self-importance feeling that celebrities get.
Kanye does not give a SHIT about his fans... and if you need anymore proof... I forgot to mention... NO explanation or apology from Kanye to his audience... NONE.

Fuck Him.
He obviously doesn't give a shit about his fans... all he cares about is his comfort and his luxury, which he apparently cannot connect to his fans at all.
I think someone needs to sit him down and let him know that... without fans... there's no career... no more money... etc.
So you fucking ego-maniacal cockbag... next time you want to completely neglect your fans... or need to be in front of a bigger audience to disappoint.
Just be aware... that within a year or two.. you'll be back to being a fucking nobody.
Your only shot at a comeback will be some VH-1 celeb-reality show where you'll room with the guy who played Billy on the original power rangers and have a love interest in the actress who played Kimmy Gibbler on Full House.


Face it Kanye... no one's honored by your lateness... just disappointed.
People left...
And Fake shit?
Those are your fans...
See how fake it is when you've got none of those left.
Enjoy rapping your lyrics through the McDonald's drive-through speaker douche.

Lets Throw A Mediocre Party!

It's that time of the year again!
You know the time! Graduation!
When you have to go to a party for every other family you know who has some asshole kid who's name you don't even know... and yet still feel obligated to give them some kind of graduation prize money.
I think it's time we got over this little trend.
Face it... a LOT of people are graduating.
It really doesn't feel like that much of an accomplishment anymore..
Especially not high school.
My expectations for graduating high school were pretty much... just show up most of the time.
And considering... the millions of students who have the mental capacity of rocks... I really consider the high school standard of graduation to just be a pulse anymore.

As for College Graduation parties... is that really necessary?
Isn't college an optional goal?
That seems like a bit of an ego-feeder... "Let's celebrate your accomplishing the goal you set for yourself!"
I don't know, maybe people just aren't that goal oriented anymore... but I feel like if I get a party for my 4 year optional goal, can't dad get a party for finishing his 4 year goal of building a shed?
Pfft.

It's not that I don't think we should celebrate graduating high school or college... I just think we should call these parties something else.
Make them a little bit more specific and personal.. you know....
So I present to you my "Alternate Themed Graduation Parties!"

- The Last Accomplishment of Your Life Party - I'm sure you've all heard the phrase "peaked in high school." Lets face it... some people just do. They just don't have the ambition to do quite much once they are finished.
Now, before you think... "well... they could get a job, have a baby, get married." Those don't count... I could find people who haven't finished high school who have done all of those things. ... more than once.
SHIT! I could find people IN high school who have done all of those things. But that's my first one! Celebrating, the end of your progressive life!

- More Fuel To Feed My Child's Ego Party - For those kids who were overly-ambitious in high school and brought home various academic and athletic awards.
They didn't do this for themselves, or college resumes... they did it so various family and friends would come to their graduation and want to talk and hear all about their accomplishments. They did more than graduate! They graduated top of Class! Captain of all their teams!
They outdid people who didn't care to try or show up. Keep it up tiger!

- I Can't Believe I Lived to See the Day Party - This party isn't for parents who are shocked that their kids actually finished school, NO I mean it in a literal sense. They are surprised their moron kid didn't get them self killed somewhere along the line.
Whether they had a dumb, gang-banging kid who hung out with the wrong crowds and got into the worst kind of trouble, or their proud of skank kids who weren't taken down by the hiv, or that their children weren't struck down by the teenage angst that takes so many teens down. "Congratulations Son! Despite the fact that you said you'd kill yourself if your high school sweet heart left you... you managed to get through with just a couple of wrist scars!"

- Families Excuse to Drink Together in Excess Party - For those people who have families anything like mine; graduations, marriages, communions... anything is a potential party in which we can all booze up.
This one's simple and straight to the point, who are you kidding... no one cares you're graduating high school... shit half the family doesn't even know how old you are let alone what grade you're in... just enjoy the opportunity to drink with your friends in front of your parents and get away with it.

- The Greatest Child of Them All Party - This party is for the youngest or one of many kids in a larger family. Not only that but it's more centered on the parents finally having a child to celebrate accomplishing something.
They look at their other 3 free-loading, good for nothing kids... and then at their newly high school/college graduated child and realize at least that's one seed of theirs that won't be financially burdening them into their 40's.
"Great Job Son! You're a much better child than your brother and sister... and that's why we love you."

- Financial Services Party - This party has one purpose... money. A Graduation is, with the exception of birthdays, the last chance to have people just giving you free money. Face it, graduating high school... you need money... you need to go to the beach this summer... and buy beer and cigarettes... and if you're graduating college! Shit you need money to start your real life, and for that real life you're going to need beer and cigarettes! So enjoy the free money, and don't kid yourself... you don't care nor does anyone else at this junction about the actual graduation. You want money, and societal standards state that people give you money for your mediocre societal standard accomplishment.

Is it Contagious?

I recently came to the realization that for the most part people who are Pro Life... are also Against Gay People.
And I see a problem there... because, in their strong opposition to ban the Gay Community these folks miss out on solving a problem of Abortion.

Say for example, we do ban abortion... a lot more children would have to be put up for adoption.

And all of those people who are Anti-Abortion are certainly not going to adopt all of those children.
If they were interested in doing so, they'd perhaps offer that service to women interested in abortion... rather than screaming into their faces "You're gonna burn in hell.... fuck you slut..."
and... "MUR-DER-ERR."
If I were a girl desperately considering an Abortion... some pro-life enthusiast outside my abortion clinic offering to adopt my child... would be my personal Savior... I wonder if any of them have ever offered such a service?
No they seem to like the yelling a lot more...

Anyhow...
As I was saying... say they get the Pro-Life thing passed...
Now all of these children are up for adoption... and what potential statistic of people who may be interested in adopting are not allowed to?
Oh yeah... the Gay Community.

Pro-Lifers... hate the gays!
Seeing a child put into the hands of a Gay Couple, is probably just as horrible a fate as abortion to these "Life-loving" hypocrites.

People really need to learn to pick their battles...
It's two completely different battle-fronts!
The Ethic one of... "When does life begin?" "is abortion murder?" "if a person considers abortion wouldn't that life be better off not beginning."
To a completely different front of not minding your own fucking business, forcing your lifestyle on others and being a bigot.
- "Are the gay people going to fuck this child anally?"
-"Are they going to force the child to be gay?"
- "is gay-ness contagious?"

It just stinks, because if we did ban abortion and all of these unwanted children go up for adoption, it'll be a whole new battle... held by the same people... that these children can't be adopted by gay people because... because they believe them lesser human beings? or somethings wrong with them... or whatever they believe.

I dunno...
People Are Bigots.

This South American Tribe was... will.... just IS.

Today in my Linguistics Class we were discussing a South American tribe, buried deep in the tropical forests of Brazil who Linguists found very interesting due to their limited use of words and sounds.
These people have numbers up to three, three also suggests more than... they don't speak of any history, origin stories, nor do they keep art.
It was so interesting because their language has no words or ideas alluding to the past or future.
They don't concern themselves with past events, or future events.
They don't concern themselves with art, because the only time it has any value is while it is in the process of being made... and when first finished, after that it is disregarded, destroyed or trashed because no one can explain the context in which it was created or what it meant... because it had all happened previously.
As for future, they never worry about storing foods, they just hunt and eat when they get hungry. No concern whatsoever... and... it works, they've survived there for who knows how long...
It's so interesting... how alien and foreign these concepts are to us... and these people have just as much mental ability as we do... there is nothing wrong with them.

However, I've yet to get to my point...
So... these people are met and studied and found interesting.
Then the Christians found out about these characters... and they were like
"Wow those people sound fascinating... you know what would make them even MORE interesting... Our God."
So they show up, and their trying to teach these people the Bible and Jesus... Etc.
And these people, who have no interest in past events or anything that isn't right in front of them are like
"Oh... Wow this Jesus sounds interesting, but... we don't believe you... can we meet him?"

Hurray for the failures of Christianity and Missionaries!
It's not that I'm opposed to organized religion or anything... I just hate people who attempt to force it upon you.
Like those people who come to my campus and shout about our need to repent, or people who give me pamphlets that suggest how I be saved... and ESPECIALLY those people who pay to put up billboards and such that just have verses from the bible or say something along the lines of "There is only one true God."

I hate these assholes!
Because of the arrogance that goes along with these "One true God statements," in which they basically declare everyone else's faith is false... and this idea they have that they've discovered something everyone apparently needs.

Listen people!
If people feel they need to be saved, or that they need some hope... or whatever.
They'll come to a Church or fucking go searching for what they need.
People aren't going to be converted by Pamphlets and Billboards or People... showing up and trying to just shove all then information down their throat and tell them.. that it's a better way to live and that they need it!

And honestly... if you do convert them that easily... they weren't really any kind of real individual or useful member or society anyhow... or you guys are just assholes for manipulating those in need.
Or in the case of this South American Tribe... those you see as less civilized and in need of saving.
Assholes.
