Ah more concerts...

So as many of you might have already heard or known; Ravi, Jeremy, Bretton and myself went up to New York to see a whole bunch of things happen before Rage Against the Machine performs. Then watch Rage Against the Machine perform. If i came off too facetious i apologize, it was a good concert. Overall i would rate it as the best concert I have been too barring the Tool-tones concert. It was an amazing dreamteam line up. Sage Francis, EPMD (who i kept calling EMPD), Mos Def with Talib Kweli, Pharoahe Monch, Cage, Public Enemy, Cypress Hill, Wu-tang Clan and ofcourseRATM. there were others but i dont wanna list em all. The drive to the concert was interesting as i realised Jeremy cannot drive...and the fact that half way there in Jersey, we hit one of the most vicious lightning storms i have ever seen. I proposed killing Jeremy as a sacrifice to Zeus so that he would stop punishing us. It fell on def years, no pun intended, actually it was. Newho, We finally got there around 11ish maybe later i dont really remember. We were staying at one of Jeremy's friends place in Long Island which was a very nice place, and the hosts were very gracious. That was also the night we coined the term homo-erotically homophobic for Bretton's mannerisms , thanks to Ravi. So we woke up took the Long Island train, which was amazing and yet cheap. Got to Randall's Island and went inside the park/arena where the festival was being held. There were 2 stages one for all the small undergroud acts. This stage was labeled the "paid dues" stage (figure it out), and the other stage was the main stage. Everytime anyone would venture from the small stage to the big stage, the artists from the small stage would chastise them by yelling "WHERE YOU GOIN?!?! THE BEST ARE HERE MOTHA FUCKAS!!!" but that would rarely work. So the first few acts we witnessed were on the small stage since we really had no interest in the big stage initially. Blueprint was the first one and Bretton really liked him, i was indiffrent, although his "Big girls need love too" really spoke to me. All in all we werent really interested in any of the acts in both the stages...Supernatural, Jedi Mind Tricks, Hanger 18. were all lost on us, Immortal technique was the first artist I was actually interested in seeing, and his show was decent. After this was Pharoahe Monch, his set was great, actually enjoyed it and got into the rest of the concert after that. after him was EPMD. I wasnt interested but Bretton was, and Ravi, Jeremy and I high-tailed it to the small stage to see Lif, and Cage, but since the acts on the small stage were ahead of schedule, I didnt witness any of Mr. Lif, cause i was busy purchasing a 6 dollar thing of lemonade. Ravi and Jeremy only witnessed one song. Cage was great, their stage presence was amazing, falling short of only RATM. The first and only artist to stage dive, till Method Man later in the show. the only thing I had against the set was Moshing...wel shall get to this later. But for right now this is enough...next time we will get to the rest of the concert minus Rage, they will have their own review.

Adios

DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alright so things worked out i did the paper but now i have another one due tomorrow...why does God hate me so? please answer

Am I Royally Fucked??

So as usual I procrastinated. I have come to a point where i even stop telling myself before a paper is due that, "this time i will do it early!" Newho, the point being I have a 10 page paper due in 5 hrs. and I am at work, now granted I have very little to no work to do...but...I am at work. Now how did I come to this point? I will tell you that after the day is over and I have either succeeded or failed miserably. Either ways you shall now, but in the due time I will keep you updated of this conundrum. So stay tuned, this could be a miracle!

Its Feels Sooo good though!!

I like tension, more than that i like it when Ravi is involved with either Pasha or Angad. So i will pounce on this opportunity. It is hard to bring forth such a dark truth that many brown men have only kept amongst themselves. More-so reveal this milk chocolate secret to our white chocolate friends. Don't worry we are not after your women, some of us just want to feel that after all the things that the British did to us, we can at least once in a while stare down at the white men by getting on top of their women. (Sometimes medium sized brown bags are necessary) I would however like to comment harshly on Angad's comment on the whole light skinniness in relation to their respective cast...actually i would not like to comment on it because to bring to account such misguided and ignorant jargon that i wanna poo my pants and hurl it at singhi singh. I feel the problem lies with the education system of these areas. Concentrating so heavily on science and maths, many brown men of my country forget about other things such as. oh i don't know. Not being a dick and a racist. This in not only prevalent about the Indians here but back in the old country too. It is harsh to talk in this manner about people; "us and them" "yours and ours" in the end poonani is poonani. But sometimes I feel like it is important to question motives and Ravi and many other have attempted to do just that. I believe that even if it is some what of a stretch to say that European women are sought after so prevalently than any other type of women, i think the underlying problem is an identity crisis suffered by much of the third and developing world (or as Amartya Sen would call it the 2/3rds world). When this problem is bought into the spotlight, people often shoot it down in denial of what it is that hampers them. In southeast Asia and much of the Middle East and Africa, this problem persists. My solution...More mating and making everyone mulatto! sorry i couldn't end on a too philosophical note. In conclusion i don't think there is a solution because the problem maybe in a vast majority of the world but it is flying through the ether of every individual person. Unless everyone has a mass awakening, there will be only more white ass to be sought after. So I leave you in the words of a wiser man, Chris Cornell: "And to be yourself is all that you can do, Ahhhh..." etc.
Thank You

YES!!

Alrighty then...
So after a long absence at the law firm because of the intrusions of midterms, i came storming back to apparently nothing. Everyone is gone to somewhere. I feel like it was all a con that this office building and the red velvet floors and the cherry doors were all just Paul Newman and Robert Redford in disguise to con me out of my time. I SAW THE WINK AND THE NOD!! oddly enough i have had many interesting conversations with college buddies of mine. it is odd because i didn't realise that beneath the harsh drinking and the illicit drugs, these fine men and women are in fact somewhat interesting. I wanted to do a sly screen play about them by have some abstract characters that resemble their roundabout idiom. But i was afraid that ravi and jeremy would sue me. I am now bored sitting at my desk i have to scan 4 files which wuld normally take me about 5 minutes but has taken me 2 hrs. this is because I know my boss doesnt have anything for me after i'm done with all this. So any ideas of things i can do while here appriciated.

Whats goin on?

Guten Tag!
Its been a while on this thing. Mostly because i cant really get myself to write anything, it seems like this idea will wither away like so many others in our circle. I expected Jon to write a lot, and in the youth of this idea, he did. But the infamous "Snake" skit was his undoing. Jeremy was a charlatan as usual, and Pasha was apathetic usual. Ravi was probably the most consistent, however he too withered away. Ryan had a good thing goin but he is busy with "things". Matt however the one i thought would not have more than 2 posts has kept up. (Although i disagree with his deftones review). And myself, i knew this would happen and so this will be my last post...no i'm kidding, how could i deprive you of my whimsical posts about battles fought and heroes lost, if anything, it'll annoy jeremy. Other than that i will do my best to keep up posts from hear on out, I urge others to do the same. Pasha, those links were gay. I was brainstorming that in the spirit of the new Harry Potter movie that came out recently we all present our favorite fantasy character and why he's our favorite and things about him etc. At the risk of it sounding like an essay topic. I will do mine as a comparison between Nevil Longbottom and Peregrin Took, i find them surprisingly alike. Anywho for my next war series sticking with the English theme, i will do the battle of Hastings and the Norman invasion of England, the only invasion of England that succeeded. Well thats my game plan, everything else is trivial.

The Punic War!!! The Last HUS-AH!!!

As all good things must come to a tragic and needlessly violent end...so must this trilogy of action packed madness...Funny how very few elephants were really involved then people usually let on.

The Siege of Carthage:
an expeditionary force was sent to besiege Carthage. The city was surrounded by 20 miles of walls and was capable of resupplying itself by the sea. Despite breaching the walls with rams, the Romans at first achieved little against a vigorous defense organized by the Carthaginian commander (there are two funny parts in that name, hint, last part of his second name...thank me later) took charge of the forces. For some reason this made the siege gain momentum and starvation and Fifty years after the battle of Zama, important figures in Romesuch as senator Cato the Elder (wonder how he got that name) argued that Carthage was still a threatened should be destroyed. Historians are still look for their link to Al Qaeda, not yet found. A war between Carthage and Numidia (Algeria) gave Rome a pretext for Roman intervention. and in 149 BCE Hasdrubal. However when the adopted son of Scipo Africanus, Scipio Aemilianus disease grew in the city, their resistance weekend. After a lot of fighting, the remaining 50,000 surrendered and the Romans enslaved them all and destroyed the city...Yup that's it. Have a nice day, you just wasted a lot of time.

I'm only kidding of course, history is fun and we realise why we sometimes must choose to evolve, or else our names would still b Scipio and Anus. So that's it for the Punic Wars!!! there will be lighter posts to come for a while now, before another sequence of battles catch my eye that i can end with three exclamation marks. But until then remember when in Rome, do as the Romans do and if u find yourself fighting a giant guy around a bunch of sand hold a tin sword. Well I'll let Cthulhu tell you about that...
