STUPID!!!!!!! People!!

Posted by Vanessa Vasquez on August 18, 2008 at 4:00pm

I have a t-shirt that can gauge the stupidity of everyone around me. It's accurate within a three percent margin. And it never fails to point out the stupid people in the crowd.I was walking with a friend the other day and wearing the shirt. People were pointing at my shirt and laughing. (I think they were laughing at the shirt and not me) Then they would mutter what they thought it said, "I'm with Stupid."There it is above!. What does it say? Careful now, read it again and say it out loud.Are You Stupid? My friend looked at me with incredulity because of the conversation we just had moments earlier. Here's how it went:(After he walked up to me and stared at my shirt)Him: What does your shirt say?Me (raising an eyebrow): What do you think it says?Him (narrowing his eyes): You tell me.Me (smiling): No, you tell me.This went on for two full minutes before I interjected some Abbott and Costello. Finally, I gave in and told him it said, "I'm with Stuppid." Pronouncing it the way I had intended when I designed it, like in the word UP.What's truly funny about this shirt is how many people don't actually read it. Either that or they just can't spell the word: stupid. (It has one P, not two as in my shirt) It's a social experiment in the greatest way. Sometimes the people can't spell and sometimes they're just plain stupid. Proves my point either way.I told my friend that my little experiment was running a 60-70% stupid person score. Yes, 60-70% of the people who remarked about my shirt pronounced the word: Stupid. Not Stuppid.He didn't believe me until we were walking along and people muttered or pointed out the shirt to their friends, saying "I'm with Stupid" under their breath. Laughing with each other. While silently I laughed inside my own head. Stupid.My experiment is a success and my hypothesis is proven. I've always said this but now I have undeniable proof. Stupid people are at an all-time high.

Tattoos are not necessarily my thing, but these are great :

I particularly love this one... Bubble Bobble was indeed one of my favourite games on the Master System, AND I NEVER FINISHED IT !!!!!!! It's too complicated, I never found the necessary items to access the last level of the game. And that's highly frustrating. I am beginning again on an emulator I found, so it's a bit easier, and hopefully, three years from now I might finish it.And my favourite...

It's a shame that it's a BSOD and not a GNU* prompt, but it's still fine.

Update from the road...

Posted by Jordan Khajavipour on August 18, 2008 at 5:02am

I didn't bring a laptop nor a camera so it'll be too difficult to update after each show. A lot of amazing memories from this tour, which I could, but I'm going to write out a tour blog after the tour is over and I'm settle back at my house. There will be a lot of details missing because of the delay but it'll give me time to reflect before another semester begins.jordan.

Reality is a BITCH

Posted by Vanessa Vasquez on August 18, 2008 at 12:36am

it's funny to me how people don't see you for what you are. or they don't want to see. if people let their guard down and actually looked at me and saw depression, pain, loss, and instability, then they would be forced to realize that they are living in a bubble. i suppose that is the beauty of "the outward self" as i like to call it. the person you allow others to see. but no matter who you are, who you are in a relationship with, or who you are the most comfortable with (even a therapist)...there is a "you" that no one sees. that is secret and caged and that is why no matter what...we are all inherently alone and always will be. i feel pain because of that. there is nothing i can do to really let someone in and i wish i could REALLY take comfort in the mantra i tell myself : "i don't need anyone. i am not needy. i am not dependent."

August 17, 2008 Seattle Hempfest Day : The Mind Tour Journals.... Low Earth Orbiter.

Posted by Daniel Bennett Kieneker on August 17, 2008 at 8:42pm

Hello Radiohead people.I'm posting here as a move of honest stature.I tried to include Trent Reznor today by posting on his site, and my admission is I am not techie enough to read through the quick and easy barriers... and for that I respect what I read Trent respond to in Rolling Stone Magazine about the different platforms of distribution... although I am not sure he's gonna get any of the "muesings and mind solving lyric shit I spit out on the walks away from " NIN to Dave Mattews" an obvious look in from reddit.I was admonished on Peter Gabriel's site once for using this kind of platform personally... and that's why I tried to spread the wealth of minutia in flagrante' ...observa-ble' almost a lazy nod tothe band Rush in the fish eye lens sort of mode. Thanks Geddy and Neal and Alex.I like the idea of people sharing the stories but let me "scream about it again.... " ....you can take the explosion and shove it back into the free zone instead of fighting over it in my head and then charge the wi-fi mind double for penetrating what once use to be every bodies peace of mind with fees and more fees that " require ARTISTS and Labels and HUGE INSURANCE TRUSTS TO SPONSOR REHAB WITH LIES AND BULLSHIT FOR THE measals of the poor... those who don't have what it takes to inspire the likes of infighting between songwriters and brainwave readers.I had a good groove going on on the walk away from gasworks and mixed it up right thru the zones after my " pick on Dick Cheney and hope the Supreme court doesn't cave in to Coropustulance... you know... steal the congressional seats in favor of rap**** the vote of the voters to ( fill in the blank here ) vote or understand what is needed for what they what by taking what you have and giving to who they whom.I'll give the outline notes to the Stranger again... yet that is no garuntee that any filming of my insurrection will make it to any place affective.... you see someone once explained to me that delusion and fantasy often conspire to leave the effected in a hazy dream state of unre-quiet ed........almost a special olympic standard to lack of Diplomacy.Any way I often act out my operatic training as I work through my walks and the styled block watch programs of the neighborhood... and this time the stroll through the park of the Political signs in waiting for the upcoming election here in Washington for the falling apart of our sytmatic recoveries in space loops and budget freefalls is more SO clear ... PAINFULLY clear without the ENEBRIEATING SUBSTANCES THAT MY INSURANCE USE TO PAY FOR.... I was addicted to Seroquell and IT'S compulsive sideeffects that were unmanagable.... and I fear that the reason my Doctors property tax locality zone in the NORTHWEST REGION OF OUR NATION became so expensive is becaus I didn't join in the modest settlement account of CLASS ACTION lawsuits that of course were all ready in some sort or kind of slidiing scale of receivership.Please excuse this post Colin and Ed... as you both have the same names as my family and friends... name recognition is difficult these days in a culture of rich and poor better and worse.Note to Webmaster.. again I had all large caps on my I as in ME instead of small letter i, and strange weird stuff happens when I scream at the city about their parks and HOMELAND SECURITY. I had to go back and change some letters in this post that had changed to small from caps....I think it is because the seattle Library sytem and the King County Library system and Metro and the Braille Library have something going on with the reverse 9-11 crisi clinic hotlines.I'm gonna have to go now... it's a weird day if this doesn't post sue, (as in LAWSUIT) the FCC and this state and nation for breach of trust in our constitution because Radiohead and Trent Reznor and Peter Gabriel pay alot in fees to work here and I support their work.

need your help! constructive feedback!!

Orwell's blog

Posted by in rainbow shoes on August 17, 2008 at 12:30am

Previously unpublished George Orwell diaries are being released online as a daily blog. He began keeping a series of diaries on 9th August 1938. From 9th August 2008, Orwell’s domestic and political diaries will be posted in "real-time", exactly 70 years after the entries were written..."What I have most wanted to do… is to make political writing into an art."

The Death Of Low Earth Orbiter

Posted by Daniel Bennett Kieneker on August 16, 2008 at 9:03pm

Thom,I have been on record in the past for saying I would kill my band before giving in to Dick Cheney and his Mind Control Politics.Apparently, post 9-11 I did not fufill my duties and responsibly become clean and sober fast enough to stay competative.In the event that history says I all ever acheived was noisy catterwalling for the preamble of an allready diseased system I would consider it an honor if your group would take up arms and gift our songs to audiences in a platform that befits "live performance".I suggest that you consider taliking with your mates about Radiohead doing The Devils Henchmen and Our Flames.Trent Reznor could do Taking on the Titan and The Giant FallsThe ticket...that's the Peter song.....and well as for the rest of the bequethment...i don't think I'll worry about walking into whiteriver as cheney or the mad rocket scientists will just order an SDI attack on heating up the granite so that it won't fity the SLEDGEHAMMER sizing or light the Makah stick on FIRE to turn it into matchsticks for anti fishing and water treaties.ThanksDan

Somewhere past the sun.... this morning from gasworks I had to spit it out... the talk comes rapidly these days like this because there is a fleet moment of recognition where I do not have to pretend where my favorite words are residing... and who was the last toggle on the dial to repeat what inspired them in the first place.Ross Lake Washington today ..... in the Seattle newspapers a story on Hempfest no less..... about 48 million dollars worth of cultivation spotted from a pilot whos job was to look away lest the confiscation crew was the requirement for Richard B. Cheney... reported Vice President of The United Statesof America to swap oil receipts for legalization of hemp manufacturing and medical marijuana in America... as ZZ top says... ......"NATIONWIDE".Here it is linguists... the key to the reversal of fortunes and a fruedian mess in syntax.The story resides of course in the confrontation of peaceful assembly of dissention and internation normalcy of reasonable discourse.Ask yourself this question.If, when the energy policy was formulated in 2000 pre 9-11 and the emergancy " don't get caught with the eveidence in your treasury bill was..." I'm the decider... just sign..." and the signature voice said, " Last time they impeached our office there was money left in the system so I plan to drain the bank and make sure that we have completely left manuverability for Putin to start up in the Georgian States to continue depleating the old shells... then they can't take us out before we finish our million dollar memoirs to leave us in the vicarious position of affluent dogma to satelite in our illegal legal lease of Hemp oil conversion kits and we will maintain authority over all the disparaged factions of economic infighting."That of course in my opinion is what Dick Cheney and George Bush will NEVER admit...The real possibility that they would use The Supreme Court sorting preocess of 2012 to foil the dualisms of nabbing the crown jewals away from the English Pound to reinflate the dollar economy before 2015.Trent Reznor and Jonny Greenwood I rest my case for the action portion of reclaiming the Granite and wood to present to Peter Gabriel by transfer of handshake and eyecontact from Me to Thom at Whiteriver.I have seen the power lines in the old paintings... just ask Jen.Chris.... Vida Vida please lookout over the French coastal plans with Ed.

Posted by Diana on August 16, 2008 at 2:00am

i taped small segments of the concert on 8/9/08 of radiohead of course.
but i can't add it to this site because it doesn't work..
and when i add it to youtube and comes out in horrible quality.
thankfully when i added it to facebook it came out in beautful quality (not the best, but better than watching it on my phone)
