Blacking out the SOPAdish

On this day, where many websites are blacking out their sites in protest of SOPA, PIPA, PAPA, MAMA, PITA, CODA and YAMA, there seems to be a lack of understanding that these actions never do anything unless it benefits our masters. If our masters are hell bent on destroying the internet, they will do it. You are insignificant like me. End of story.

SOPA and PIPA may not pass and you'll feel like you did something, but you didn't. It'll pass under a different name or, like many bullshit that gets passed, will be added in to a different bill that has little in connection. No matter what, when it does pass, either you won't know about it or you'll have come around to accepting it like the Patriot Act and Obamacare.

So, to my masters of which I'm forced to obey, I say this. Do whatever the hell you want. You know you're going to, anyways. I'm not gonna run in my hamster wheel for your amusement.

Random NFL Thoughts

Generic title achieved. Moving on.

• I seriously hope Denver fans aren't thinking they were right about Tebow yet. As if that win vindicated them or something. I mean, yeah, that was great. He pull off 15 points in a little over 5 minutes left in the game. In the clutch, he successfully fought his way out of a paper bag. Really. This was a winless Miami team he had to do that against. A QB worthy of proving right to people would've had that game won by halftime. Instead, Tebow will have to live with the fact that Detroit got themselves a guaranteed win next week.
• Carson Palmer performed for the Raiders exactly as I thought he would. Like a rusty QB that only had around 4 days to learn the playbook and know his teammates. If Oakland fans aren't putting any stock into this loss, then they're handling it right. They shouldn't. Palmer wasn't ready to play and it showed. Now, if he performs about the same in two weeks, then there can be some worry. But they'll be playing Denver, so there shouldn't be any problems. While I'm discussing Oakland, can it be considered a small consolation that their transition loss to KC helped make next Monday night's game more interesting to watch?
• Wouldn't it be funny if Luck sucked? Everyone who declares Luck a can't-miss prospect and the whole "suck 4 luck" sweepstakes based on accomplishments done in a system that has as much credibility as pro wrestling. Seriously, I keep saying it. College Football performances should always be taken with a grain of salt in comparison to the NFL. And yes, that's basically what I'm saying. College football isn't a real sport. I mean, yeah, he'll come in as the #1 pick for 2012 and yeah, college is all anyone has to go on in determining draft value, but it still means nothing on an NFL field. There's no such thing as can't-miss and the more hype they get, the more likely they are to become a bust. For the team that drafts Luck, I can hope he can be the exception, but I never hold my breath.

You Can't Pull My Song, I Quit

I really want you to read this if you haven't already and chance are, you have:

“After reading hundreds of e-mails, I have made MY decision,” Williams said in a statement to The Associated Press. “By pulling my opening Oct 3rd, You (ESPN) stepped on the Toes of The First Amendment Freedom of Speech, so therefore Me, My Song, and All My Rowdy Friends are OUT OF HERE. It’s been a great run.”

Ok, Hank. I thought it was really and funny of typical Americans to take your Hitler comment out of context. It's natural of them. They have no comprehension skills whatsoever. It's why I understood why ESPN did what they did. I wouldn't have done it and I felt it was too silly of an issue to pull your song over. Still, I understood and I understood that it was nothing to get upset with you over.

However, that quote... erased any possible bad feelings I may have had towards ESPN over this. One of the things that rubs me the wrong way is the misuse of the First Amendment. Here's you lesson, Hank. I'll do my best to use small words. I doubt I'll succeed. The First Amendment protects you from the government. That's it. It does not protect you from having your song pulled by ESPN. It does not protect you from being fired from a job. It does not protect you from being banned from an online forum. It does not protect you from having your songs banned from radio stations. It only protects you from the government. It says, "Congress shall make no law", not "ESPN shall make no rule".

It's ok if you have an issue with an ESPN. If you felt disrespected enough, that's fine. But hiding being the First Amendment that doesn't even apply to this situation, you made yourself a joke.

They're Dumb Enough To Picket Steve At iHop

The Westboro Baptist Church is dumb enough to announce their protest of Steve Jobs via iPhone. Still, is being picketed by this group mean that you've made it in life much like how music artists made it whenever Weird Al Yankovic does a parody of their songs?

And Furthermore...

I wonder what would happen if the Wall Street protests weren't as big of a fraud as the Tea Party. Honestly, both entities support what they're supposedly against. It's no surprise. They're controlled by that 1%. They're told to hate the 1% by the 1% because they can tell the protesters how to hate them. Government will naturally pass legislation that'll give the 1% even more power under the guise that it'll hurt them. This will quiet the 99% getting them to believe they accomplished something. After all, government is also part of the 1%. They always will be. The 99% are too stupid to change.

The Wall Street protests is just another in a long list of Status Quo movements that will accomplish nothing except more of the same and keeping the 99% obedient. I'm not the 99%. I'm not the 1%. In this fight, I don't exist.

Am I The 1% Of The 99%?

Wouldn't it be nice if instead of occupying Wall Street, that the 99% would stop voting in the 1% every election?

I'll Just Leave This Here

Probably Not

Yay! Bin Laden's dead. Can we stop molesting 6-year-old girls at airports now?

Lesson To Ahmadinejad

From the >Yahoo article:

Obama said the United States and Germany share "one voice" in condemning the Iranian effort to crush dissent.

We all know you're supposed to criminalize dissent, not crush it. Do it like Obama does it. Call dissenters racist and punish them for committing "hate crimes".

Let's Crush Them

So says 100,000 North Koreans:

Punching their fists into the air and shouting "Let's crush them!" some 100,000 North Koreans packed Pyongyang's main square Thursday for an anti-U.S. rally as the communist regime promised a "fire shower of nuclear retaliation" for any American-led attack.

But do they have their own country music stars to rev up North Korean pride? I think not. Where's their flag lapels and "support the Korean troops" ribbons? Yeah. As I thought. Will they ever talk on their versions of Fox News about fighting us over here so they won't fight us over there? We'll call them out for plagiarism if they do.

Returning To An Old Friend

It's been over two years? Wow. And I'm updating this in the middle of the night? Don't ask. I officially miss this place. Not sure where I want to go with this. I spent the last couple years posting blogs on MySpace and I have to admit that my account there went away from what I intended it to be, though I loved the fact that I've been getting comments there.

I sense right now I feel like I can transform this blog into something I couldn't do before (or wasn't wise enough to know). I'm debating if I should keep this one or create a new one and delete this one since I'm starting fresh. Not deciding now since it's 2:30 in the morning. For now, I feel good to be back.

Splitting Hares

I know this is a serious problem, but this is something I can't help but laugh about.

Really. It's hard not to chuckle at the thought of those bunnies of doom. Although I do offer a suggestion as to how they can remedy this problem.
