Funny Guy

Posted by dracoling

Sometimes I make stupid analogies that make me laugh. Here's a recent example:

dracoling: let me put it this way
dracoling: it's like building a car out of blenders
dracoling: sure, I guess if you add enough duct tape and chop the blenders into the right shape you might be able to get it to pretend to be a car... sorta
dracoling: but it's never going to be a good car

Just do it.

Feel like your life is boring? Your friends don't share your interests or you don't know anybody to hang out with? You go home from work, lock yourself in your room and wait for morning to do it all over again?

I was like that for years. Then one day something changed everything, and part of that something was me developing my new personal mantra... Whenever I'm feeling down or misunderstood or alone, it helps to remember this simple phrase.

Fuck you guys, I'm awesome.

Now go out there and do something that frightens the shit out of you, just because you can!

Hot Topic Is Not Punk Rock

Posted by dlz

I think I'll just leave this here...

GO!

Books about Evanescence,
Are not punk rock!
Guns & Roses watches,
Are not punk rock!
Hello Kitty iPod cases,
Are not punk rock!
Rob Zombie lunch boxes,
Are not punk rock!
Slipknot binder paper,
Is not punk rock!
Tinkerbell pillow cases,
Are not punk rock!
Led Zeppelin air fresheners,
Are not punk rock!
Tupac incense burners,
Are not punk rock!

Hot Topic is not punk rock!
Hot Topic is not punk rock!
Hot Topic is not punk rock!
Hot Topic is not punk rock!

Misfits candle tins,
Are not punk rock!
ICP throw blankets,
Are not punk rock!
Beaded Elvis curtains,
Are not punk rock!
Talking Lambchop plush dolls,
Are not punk rock!
AC/DC hair clips,
Are not punk rock!
Spongebob wristbands,
Are not punk rock!
Sex Pistols boxer shorts,
Are not punk rock!
Dischord back catalog,
Okay. Maybe that's punk rock.

Hot Topic is not punk rock!
Hot Topic is not punk rock!
Hot Topic is not punk rock!
Hot Topic is not punk rock!

Hot Topic is a contrived identification with youth subcultures to manufacture an anti-authoritarian identity and make millions.
The $8 you paid for the Mudvayne poster would be better spent used to see your brother's friend's band.

DIY ethics are punk rock.
Starting your own label is punk rock.
G.G. Allin was punk rock.

But when a crass corporate vulture feeds on mass-consumer culture,
this spending mommy's money is not punk rock!

The 9 Steps to Live “The Way” by Miyamoto Musashi

Posted by dlz

  1. Do not think dishonestly.
  2. The Way is to train.
  3. Have knowledge of every art.
  4. Know the Way of all professions.
  5. Know the difference between profit and loss in worldly matters.
  6. Develop intuition and an understanding of all things.
  7. See that which cannot be seen.
  8. Attend even to the seemingly insignificant.
  9. Do nothing which is useless.

Conundrum.

Posted by dracoling

Should I be pleased or insulted that I am the only one not invited to today's complete waste of time (aka  "operations meeting")?

Need some feedback here.
