Television

Today, my day off, I spent the majority of my waking moments actually watching television. I was a proud latchkey kid (single mother often working, blah blah) and I was saddened at recalling memories often filled with entertaining moments in front of the You "boob" tube.

Jeebus Khrist am I glad I no longer watch TV like that

i know people think i'm crazy 'cos i read the transcript of Ahmadinejad's UN speech and i watched it on cnn.. i just think it's really ironic and interesting, the whole situation. my educated brain knows his speech was hypocrisy and bullshit 100%, but i can understand why and how is connection is made with people who feel fucked over by the US and the major world powers - EVEN if its totally irrational and false. most would definitely call me crazy.

i prefer tillmans to nan.. something about the on-camera flash i just can't dig.

"...something about the on-camera flash i just can't dig."

Ditto.

I feel you about the speech too. That's the real deceitfulness of people like Ahmadinejad. What they have to say may have some truth to it, but their motives are always fucked up. :\

Obama 0-8

Ro, you be a long-winded @$$ dude, lol. Which is funny because you come off as so reserved. I guess the same can be said of me.

Back to Iran:

And I mean every word of that. The U.S. "make him the devil" campaigns are numerous and disgusting and I'm really tired of people criticizing others for what's happening half-way 'round the world and don't give a shit about what's happening here. I really do not give a fuck about him, his presence in NY, his speech or his country.

You know the funny part? His presence here last year and the year before did not make this type of hoopla. Folks act like this is the first time this man has ever been here! I'd be disgusted by it if I weren't apathetic to the system.

Y'know what's funny too? I delete a good portion of the crap I type out, LOL. My LJ could seriously just a giant block of words if I didn't think about the poor souls reading it.

The day he was here I was repulsed by the tabloid headlines. I expect it fully from the Post, but at this point even the Daily News feeds the fire of ignorance. The idea that a university, and one they consider among the best, should be chastised for giving "the enemy" a forum is as "anti-American" as it gets.

I want to MURDER Nelly. I honestly have tremendous hate for this man. TREMENDOUS. I don't know if it's his arrogance, his dismissiveness and REFUSAL to take any responsibility for the fucked up shit he does, his hypocriticalness or the fact that he IS so intelligent and uses it only to get money and make sorry ass PLAYED OUT excuses for his shit.

I really really really honestly think I would hurt this man if I were in the same room as him. Like I don't think I can make an entry on this shit because the anger is crippling me.

You shouldn't watch this thing on BET then, 'cause to know what kind of music he makes and then watch him (adequately for the audience, though not for me) speak for himself or other "artists" would just infuriate you more. He ain't no Jay-Z or Russell Simmons, but he seriously ain't no numbskull either.

[dyvinesweetness]

Watching it is what fueled the anger.

I feel a bit more calm now though.

Still can't make an entry on that show though. All that comes to my head is "I hate Nelly and TI. pls die." I was mad at the fuckin audience too. Actually the only person I didn't think of at least slapping was Jeff.
