something "serious" for once

well its nice to see so many people respond to the post about submitting your own thoughts/work...we'll be sorting through those and seeing if there are any worth posting ;)

but in the meantime, here's something thought-provoking that crossed my mind while i was in the shower...

as the world continues to gain in population and "overpopulation" becomes a concern, i dont think we're gonna be able to rely on another holocaust to thin the herds out, nor do i foresee any plagues forthcoming

that leaves us with two "options" if thats what you wanna call them
1. terrorist attacks
2. the sketchy united states of awesome doing something totally cool that you dont even know about

#2 is why im writing...
what do you think the chances are of the US deciding that there are just too damn many people in china or india and planting some disease(s) there like we did with AIDS in africa? i mean, look at africa -- where would that continent be without AIDS? they'd all be humping a lot more, and there'd be a lot more of them breathing our air

so, plant some strand of whatever in their drinking water? send some bees over with that virus we developed in the lab? you see where im going...i just wonder how likely something like this is to happen (again)

thoughts? feelings?



Whoa -- I need a break from sifting through all of the responses I got for a guest post. It's really overwhelming - what did I get myself into?
Actually...
Bruce, you know some sharp girls who have really clever back n' forth banter, don't you? There's a thought...

I see, from your post, once again the blog is tackling the "real" issues of our day. It gets so tedious and stale to constantly post about our own experiences in an attempt to somehow gloat and raise ourselves up above everyone else. Doesn't it? I dunno -- maybe not...

As an aside -- I think you're forgetting about option #3: my old roomate taking a machete and sweeping out the ghettos. that's an important alternative...

I guess if this is a serious post (sirius as satellite radio) I should contribute something...
Hmm...
I also don't foresee any(more) plagues forthcoming. (wait, what kind of plagues? Like gay people? Hip-hop? Christianity? Marriage?) So something needs to be done...

But, I'm actually not sure the US of A is gonna have to get [directly] involved. I think "God" is taking care of it for us-- One could argue that indirectly it's still the United States getting into the mix, since God is 'on our side' (how do I know? Dubba-ya said so...)

Case in point;
"God" must have been the one that planted the Kuran into the minds of the unintel.... unsuspecting middle easterners, right? (should I expect hostile action from the "peaceful, forgiving, passive" muslims over this?) Only the 'all knowing' could have the foresight to create such a sound plan to dismantle a "civilization" (I use that term very, VERY, loosely...) so cleverly. See, He knew that these people couldn't possibly find a peaceful way to coexist with.. ANYONE else -- and thus, they would wage a senseless Jihad (read: pointless war based on fantasy) and contribute to the frivolous deaths of millions. (Chiefly, their own middle eastern brethren.)
It's genius, really. "Middle Eastern population in check... Done."
I only bring them up (because I love to mock, jeer, and generally scoff at insanity) because I think whatever it is they're doing *over there* will greatly help our over-population concern.

I think communism will take care of our slanty-eyed peeps. But again, I would submit to you that this is the work of "God". How else could you explain an entire culture of [semi]sentient beings that truly believe in a system that fails (yes, it's fatally flawed you morons) without the 'influence' of a supreme being fucking with their heads? Thanks again, all mighty...

Am I missing anyone? Have I missed the point entirely? Oh well...

i'm just a notch in your bedpost, but at least jay-z likes me

i feel like a 17-year old pseudo-emo chick b/c i STILL love the line "i'm just a notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song," however long it's been out (8 or 9 months maybe?)

i love the line, but why is a guy complaining about being a notch in the bedpost? isnt that essentially what you want? can we get a revised version of this song? thanks for letting me get my rocks off and sing about it because now im popular and lots of badass (16 year old) bitches want my nuts. anyways, i love the line, just dont get why a guy really gives a shit. could be worse though (see "every rose has its thorn" by poison or "more than words" by extreme for examples) (and yes i realize i eschewed the classic favorite "a woman could cut off your penis..." routine from fight club, but let's focus here)

next point, apparently hip-hop guys dig the scruffy, awkward-looking fellows from fall out boy - most notably jay-z and "bush doesnt care about black people" west. pretty sure fall out boy, being "punk" and all, doesnt support "W" but that'd be pretty funny if they did
how cool is it that these silly looking white boys get the attention of rap giants like jay-z and kanye?

one last thought. if jay-z is one of your boys, do you call him jay? hov? sean? we need to know these things



Respectfully, Bruce, I think you're on the wrong track here.

I believe the question you should be asking yourself is, "What kind of girl collects notches on her bedpost?"
And, obviously, the answer is an awesome one.

Which begs the next question you should be asking, "Where can I meet these girls?"
Where are they hanging out? I dont know -- but I'm pretty sure it's not church. Perhaps abortion clinics? Bars? Clubs? Somewhere where they can A) get drunk and pretend to let the guy take advantage of them, or B) take advantge of you via a roofy-colada. Either way, their goal is to acquire another notch. Yes!

When you get home with said girl, and you notice the notches (assuming your vision isn't too impaired) what's your reaction? I think mine would either be, "Sweet, I'm definitely getting some play," and/or, "I may have to re-evaluate my 'no condom' policy, just this once." Eh, let's be honest here, probably not the latter...

On a side note, let's talk about bedroom etiquette for a minute--
What's the call on trying to get her off? Is this a priority? Do you need to worry about her needs, or do you just game up & bail? On the one hand, she's just using you for sex, so why not return that favor; use her? Who cares if she gets off, right? (I can see how this line of thought would be appropriate if you subscribe to the fundamental rule that every girl you meet is just another potential orgasm) But on the other hand, can you really just dispense with all common courtesy and sexual decency? (We're trying to live in a society here!) What about karma? She's obviously not sleeping with you JUST to get her numbers up and deface a perfectly good bedpost; there is a goal.
You're on your own here, do what you want; but me, I'm topping her off. Not because I believe in right or wrong (I'm well beyond that) but because that's just how I roll..

I'm actually wondering; do these girls even exist? I've never met one. I think they're much like: The Unicorn, a good reason to get married, the easter bunny, the Holocaust, Santa Claus, God, the tooth fairy, love...
You get the point. "...figments of your fucking imagination."
Comforting thoughts, but only to a child or a fool who is willing to suspend reality in order to perpetuate the idea of a beautiful world full of hope, where dreams do come true and all your ideas and actions and feelings aren't just insignificant, decadent exercises in futility.... whoa, what happened? I think I blacked out there for a minute...

On that note--

Also, Jay-Z should be addressed as "that jigga man", no doubt.
