The Myth of the Workplace

If i was a foreigner that watched American television, like we know all foreigners do, I would imagine that every American works in a cubicle in a deplorable building surrounded by equally upset and disillusioned workers, whose tasks are nothing more than menial labor without the reward of physical activity.
But fortunately this dismal life would be livable for them because of the witty hijinks that quriky coworkers played on each other, friendly banter between workspace rivals, karmic justice that alwasy gets the immoral and unlikable folks, and of course always the wonderful prospect of workspace love.
The american version of the Office makes light of the horrid situation men and women are forced into on a daily basis. Their jobs are pitfalls that unsuspectign college graduates get lured into due to their delusional vision of a exciting, productive, mature world in an office within some trendy metropolis.

This doesn't happen. Even Office Space is guilty of proliferating this illusion.  They portray their movie as a satire of the office lifestyle, yet in fact it is reality.  The people and activites are that bland and mundane, and no good can come from such an unpleasant atmospher.  therefore if i was a foreigner i would watch these shows and moveis and not laugh at their attempted lighthearted comedy, nor cry for the tragedy they veil, but enjoy the smug contentment of realizing the "free" americans ironic plight

even the hip, cool and young employees of facebook are subjected to torture


if i worked in a cubicle id def be hypeming and bating all day

BOO-YA

WORTH A REVISIT: Chappelle SHow.

Want to talk about Tru-Blood. I am kinda wondering if they have gone too far. maybe now it has gotten plain old retarded. I cant really understand anyone's motivations, and everything seems to be building towards some great big secret that they wont ever reveal, like until they halfass explain everything at the start of next season. I get the feeling there wont be all that many more seasons. Where the fuck can they go with it? Bill and Eric wind up as co-grand wizards of the vampels, "Sookeh" will be the fascist dictator of BON TOMPP, the black girl will take over sam merlotte's bar, even fruitier Omar will simply implode under the weight of his implausibility.

AND THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME I EVER SUCKED A DICK FOR ROCK......

BUT IT WOULDNT BE THE LASST.lulz.

do architects get paid?

If someone gets paid to dream up a design like this, I want it to be me.
Cuz that is the easiest job in the world. first of all this lucky guys workin in Qatar and with arabs who got nothgin better to do than pay him excessive amounts of money for his lack of effort and imagination because otherwise they have to spend the rest of their time doing this...

Seriously though the Alfardan Tower in Doha, Qatar looks like a giant doric column. Despite its ugliness i suppose it is practical. Boring but practical. Rectangular, ugly and tall, it definitely can hold a lot of people with its 64 floors and aesthetic verticality. But who really wants to live there? Maybe people that want their buildings facade to be representative of ancient decadence and hedonism.

Personally if i live in a tall building i want it to remind me of the soothing fluidity of my first residence: my mothers womb.

hence Aqua the 262 m residence/hotel in Chicago, USA.

HOw diD Old SchOoL become 3 years ago

ive been hypeming so hard that i can hardly think without a fat techno beat bumpin in the back of my brain. Yeah muthafucka i got rhythm. But for real sometimes you gotta take your foot off the gas and take a break from noise and chaos of rave eurotrash techno, house hiphop mashups, and other complete winners. What u do then... go old school.



i be dickin bitches down.

the most entertaining wikipedia page you will read this summer

Maybe you have heard the ignorant Rick Ross song in which he says "im big meech, im larry hoover" The only reason a former corectional officer feels comfortable pretending to be Demetrius "Big Meech" Flenory, is because unfortunately Mr. Flenory is serving a 30 yr sentence for running a gigantic coke smuggling/distribution racket. (btw LArry Hoover also warrants a quick wikipedia rundown) The BMF story is primed for adaptation into a large-scale gangster movie, a la GoodFellas or American Gangster. (hopefully without some silly-ass Jay-Z accompanyment) Realistically Jeezy should be doing the music, as he was obvi down with BMF (find out the origins of the Gucci/Jeezy beef, and the role that BMF played in it, its alll on WIKIPEDIA, or the citations) I think i could sell my screenplay, based solely on internet research, with no input from the actual players (hundreds of them)

much like Game name-drops other rappers, RIck Ross name-drops real gangsters

It's not Mel's fault, the Illuminati are after him (seriously tho)

Isn't it convenient that Mel Gibson or someone who sounds like him was taped in the middle of tirades against his golddigging russian baby mama. Who the fuck tapes their phone calls (or even weirder their regular conversations) Probably someone who planned on using their husband's well known temper and drinking problem in order to extort out of him whatever money he had left after his divorce. The media's insistence on taking the word of a RUSSSIAN GOLDIDGGER, and some fake ass sounding tapes is most likely due to their still being butt-hurt over the Passion of the Christ.

The Passion of the Christ, was a resounding success with gentiles the world over, but offended many special interest groups such as the anti-defamation league. When he was arrested for DWI and blamed Jews for "all the wars in the world", It seemed as though the media did not need to carry the anti-Mel crusade to its conclusion; Mel had been his own undoing. He was not completely ruined though, and after a little image enhancing he seemed to be back, until he got involved with the russian, who, obviously was clearly after his money. If i see a eastern european/nordic broad  with mad plastic surgery, i would have to assume she is out to somehow murder and rob a foolish, rich old man (via goldigging. Too Bad Mel didnt know. He might have said some racist shit in those tapes,but he is from Peekskill. NOt saying MEL is the best or anything, but this whole situation is improbably convenient for everyone involved (who didnt make Braveheart) AND ANYWAY check out who's behind radaronline, courtesy of the controlling partner in American Media, and invitee Robert Altman.

Yes. We like to blog about baseball

its america's pasttime
its not necessarily hip to liek it, but if u be ultra hip to begin with than its likely that you will be considered even cooler for giving a shit (via the whole ironic i heart america trend)

With that said, why does one of the herbiest, dullest, boringest, {insert negative word]est, and [insert positive word]less person on the face of the planet have to commentate it.

Oh thats right cuz its Fox. and they love to suckle on little gross white man peni, including joe buck's

We've all seen the artie lang clip.

and now we all are quite positive that the man is a tool... def not a bro



so why does he commentate America's Pasttime's most watched game?
Oh thats right, cuz the game's boring and lame.
WOO! the NL won the all star game... its only taken fourteen fckin years. Nobody should be celebratin for that accomplishment.  The players should breathe a sigh of relief and get the fuck outta there.  Go home and see your kids or wife or other people taht you havent seen in months cuz ur lifes to god damn rugged to enjoy it wit ur family.

... oh wait.  they get to avoid families and kids and responsibility like cleanin shit outta a babies anus.
Damn, baseball players got it good.
Basically party life style to the max.  Chillin wit bros in the dug out, veggin out, dippin and sippin not worrying about the naggin wifeys wit kids, who should just be content wit that regular fat chuck of change comin through the usps.

U know what be real chill, if u could get a really fancy box to chill in rather than a dugout and maybe get some waiters handed u free booze all the time and mayeb get soem bitches dancin on pols in the corner or soemthing. Thatd be sick.

... oh wait. Thats what the owners do.  Shit, steinbrenner and the rest of u fools ... mindset predecessors and imminent occupation enlighteners


... btws this came up when googlin owner's box

what does this mean!!! is this school girl chick some unidentified owners pussy. and if so is it really dangerous to check her out... too sharp of curves? (hence the sign). And what a bout the chevy blazer decal and shit. Really... thats how u gonna pimp that fucker out, make it look like a guidos pt cruiser... shit

Der Chef is gestorben.

George Steinbrenner story. My mother's parents were divorced and her father lived in the city, while the four kids lived with my grandmother upstate. one weekend he took the kids to a Yankee game. this was in 1974 or 1975 because it was at Shea, where the Yankees played home games while the Stadium was being renovated. the game was sold out and my uncle, then maybe 9 or 10 began to cry. Steinbrenner happened to be passing by (on the sidewalk outside the stadium) saw the crying child, found out what was wrong, and invited them to sit in his personal box with him. They watched the game, were waited on by Steinbrenner's assistants (all for free) and after the game he gave my grandfather his card and said to call him if he ever needed tickets again. People can say whatever they want about the New York Yankees or George Steinbrenner, but it doesnt take away from the fact that he and his organization treated their customers with class. I dont think demanding results from your wealthy, highly paid employees makes you anything other than a rational businessman, and no one doubted his business acumen.

you have to credit him for his passion, his charity, his patriotism, and his personal talent and force of personality.

WE BACK///DID WE EVER LEAVE??

FUcking nearly dead from hours and hours of sun. Dont want to kill the night by starting to rage to early and getting all out of it. need to find the perfect activity for everyone to take part in, one that wont exhaust, one where u sit in the air conditioned house with some beers and some skoal. WHats in my pocket??

BIG FACE 100sssss

 

... REAL TALK

"Musicians spread love and peace, and bring people together. That's what we do," he said. "We don't cherry-pick our conscience."

Elton-jon, famous gay singer of campy, silly music, in regards to other love-spreaders canceling concerts in the land of israel. this coming from a man who played at rush limbaugh's wedding. there he rubbed shoulders with karl rove, clarence thomas, sean hannity and george brett. curiously Rush is all the way on the far right (but not gangster enuff to be a fascist) but he doesnt mind gays

Rush - the thing about being morally opposed to homosexuality, I think that's an incorrect standard to apply to anybody, because I don't know too many people who think it's a choice. In some cases, where women have admitted it later on where they've chosen it after a life time of what have you, but it's rare. You can't say something that isn't a choice, uh attach moral and immoral to it. 

2 hyppocrites, both of whom come out with ignorant opinions that generally irritate all normal people. Rush doesnt like blacks or immigrants or any kind of social consciousness, he lightens his tone for the gays and drug use bc he is down w/ both. ELton-JOn doesnt give a shit about Israel smushing out the palestinians, as long as he gets mad shekels. Bet he played at Sun City

Fashion *WorLD CuP* SIDE note

Only WARBLOGGING.

... lets go

ur choice

im so sorrrryy

this isnt misAMERICANthropic
in the same (rich) vein of cultural commentators as JOnathon SWifttXx, dick gregory, and john harkes, exists this weBLOG.

if the famous fat woman doent like salad, or the famous fat man doesnt like soccer, maybe they are also cultural commentators, but i dont rlly think they get on my level.

MORe ON MericA

i think i musta been real drunk or hung over yesterday because, when i look back at my own editorial i totes disagree.
The stereotypes associated with americans have low brow connotations. But since when was trusting stereotypes or being proud of such things normal behavior. I doubt the pols think of themselves as dumb, nor do the french see themselves as stripe shirted bastards, nor the brits think theyre really fuckin ugly. But the asians def think theyre all intelligent as a motherfucker.
Anyways in America the appreciation of the low brow and cheap is plentiful but thats not completely appalling. In enjoying the silly mundane and trashy we have opened our arms to the estranged , the poor, and the ignorant and reminded them that it is not hard nor always expensive to act like an american.
If u cant afford Bud theres always busch

But with that said theres some sick american classy things, especially in the arts. Which is not to say that makin technology is not mad clutch as it makes everyday tasks cooler, but whether it makes them simpler, easier and our lives happier is def still up for debate

America is a fine land. it doesnt seem like america has any high culture to speak of. the fields in which European nations excelled historically (and some asia ones) including philosophy, classical music, fine art, architecture, writing, other shit like that, we tend to not do quite so well. we have pretty damn good low culture versions of those pretentious pastimes. these include pop music, hollywood movies, a beautiful national freedom n whatnot creation myth, which many newspaper columnists and lohud commentators believe. not sure what else we have done. does america have anyone as cool as nietzsche? maradona? what do we have? who is an emminent american in their field (the world over) probably some kind of scientist (not rlly interested in that, not tangible, feel like its probably not that hard to devise new electronics n whatnot if are a mechanically minded person) America used to be better. We had gangster powerful statesmen like Lincoln. the wild west. no standing military. no social services. no income tax. even after all that shit went away we were still killing it. people used to work less, make more, and (maybe?) be happier. maybe life then was more simple, without cable news, bank things, and all of the pressures of the modern world. maybe a country where nepotism runs the whole show is not so great. America's de facto Aristocracy is not some easily identified industrial or political family. it is simply every rich person, whose children grow up with every opportunity handed to them. not that any country is a meritocracy, but by sheer virtue of America's size it means the global impact of spoiled rich kids is huge. by oppportunity one refers to understanding of white-collar/upper class world, and access to it. most people dont even know any financiers, much less have one be a golf buddy of u daddy n give u mad internship (example) u are basically born into your life station. hardly anyone seems to move too high up social/economic ladder. as far as going down the ladder-> no one ever does.

people in entertainment/sports dont count. only like michael jackson, tom cruise, and the owners of sports teams ever manage to keep enough of the money they make to set their kids up.
