What is art?

February 7th, 2007

A friend of mine at work introduced me to a soft, wonderful world. http://www.asofterworld.com
I liked the site so much, I emailed Emily and told her I was in like with her. I also asked if she’d be my valentine and that if she checked yes, I’d send her candy hearts.

Anyway, This site has a lot of amazingly funny, and touching art. My favorite had me rolling in the proverbial isles for quite a while. Tonight while showing the site to a friend, I came up with my own idea. My brother and I have always been suckers for bathroom humor. I hope you laugh:

I don’t normally stoop to shameless self-promotion, but I’ve reignited an old website: http://www.digitalcitrus.com

With it, I hope to post a new song every day, for at least one year. It’s already requiring a lot more time than I thought, but It should be worth it. Every day, I’ll post a new song with a small blurb about why I like it, or what it reminds me of. I’ll try to “chain together” music. For instance, Song A may remind me of song B, so next I’ll post song B. Song B may then remind me of song C…and so on. There are other rules to what I might post, and All the music I post will be available for download.I will down-sample it just a bit to save on space. If you want CD quality mp3 files, go buy the CD :)

I hope you enjoy the show.

Nigga please.

Michael Richards, Persona Non GrataMeet persona non-grata, I mean Michael Richards. If you have half a life then you already know that he recently dropped the “N” bomb on some black people at the Laugh Factory. I certainly didn’t think his tirade was at all funny. Despite his attempts to apologize, it seems the general consensus is that he is a racist.  Maybe he is, and maybe he isn’t. Since then, he’s been the butt of many jokes on late night television and that probably won’t end anytime soon. This whole incident brings up a good point:

Family members are allowed to badmouth each other, but no one else can–Keep that in mind. Black people can call each other the “N” word if they so choose, but anyone else who does must realize there is a fine line between “really funny” and “racism”.
That said, leave the “N” word to Paul Mooney (or maybe not?).
Leave the Honkey jokes to Jeff Foxworthy.
Leave the Mexican jokes to Carlos Mencia.
Leave the Jewish Jokes to Mel Brooks.

Oddly enough, sales of the 7th season of Seinfeld have gone up. Sad. There’s an old adage that states “There’s no such thing as bad publicity”, –And this is pretty bad publicity.
I’ll end with a quote taken from The Family Guy: “Brothers and sisters fighting is as natural as a white man’s dialogue in a Spike Lee movie.”

Be good to each other.

Gravatars are fun.

A gravatar, or globally recognized avatar, is quite simply an 80×80 pixel avatar image that follows you from weblog to weblog appearing beside your name when you comment on gravatar enabled sites. Avatars help identify your posts on web forums, so why not on weblogs?

I signed up a couple of days ago and it was pretty painless. If you can make an  80×80 image, you’ve got an avatar. Simply register, activate your account, and upload your avatar. After their reviewers are done ‘rating’ it (using the MPAA style of rating) you can begin seeing your gravatar here on the website when you make a comment. Cool eh?

As long as the email you sign up with gravatar is the same one you use here, you’ll see your gravatar on the comments here.

That’s all it takes.
