Oi.

A’ight guys, on a tandem here.. Do you hate being told what to do?  Wow! Me too. [Pressuming your answer is yes.]  So, the next time you are doing something, and are too goddamn lazy to do it yourself, and feel like telling someone else to do it.. Think about the rage you are building up inside of them.. Think about it..

Cyberpunk isn’t dead, but, it’s dying

“So, you into those shiny machines? Yeah, me too.  I loved “I, Robot”.  It’s so.. futuristic.”

Ever ran into someone like that?  And wanted to throttle them as much as I do?  If yes, you will understand what I am typing.

Kids these days.. and most un-educated adults, feel like the future is a set point in time, that the actions are already laid out for us, and we just have to follow them.

While “I, Robot” is indeed possible, to label it as futurisitc is like saying “Wow, that guy died.. It’s so.. futuristic.”  It’s a possibility, but, for it to happen with 100% certainty in the future, is nihil..

You _could_ say “It’s so.. possibilistic”?  But, then again.. I suppose people are lazy..

Oh, and when the future comes, in whatever form it is laid out for us.. won’t Cyberpunk be offically dead?  Since, it’ll be.. Presentpunk or some-shit?

My answer is “No.”

My long answer is “No, because, it is always possible to build off of current technology, make it better.  And the bounds of the human imagination are only what said human sets them to.”

So, kiddies, learn from this..  Be a brilliant scientist and mold the future to what you see fit, even if it’s robot’s in every household.

[-//End Cyberpunk-]
Thoughts..

How do we know that computers aren’t already sentient?  We just control the mice/keyboard because they haven’t yet figured that out..  They are trying to talk to us, with the only medium they know.. packets.. and since we can’t understand them, we think they can’t think..  They could be plotting our demise right now.. as soon as we give them legs and arms..

[-//Thoughts-]

Society? Pfft.

How many times have you gotten in trouble/picked on for doing things that “society says isn’t normal”?  Who the fuck is society if it doesn’t include me, and everyone else who does these things?  Is it some grand counsel that sits on a throne with large, arial type-face signs that say “Society says: Thou shalt not pick thine nose in public.”  Well, I got news for you, society.  I don’t care.  I am going to break and bend those rules, and encourage others to do the same.  If we aren’t pressing the boundries that enclose us, then we are no better than the sheep in a fence, grazing and sleeping in their own shit..  So, please, pick your nose in public, so those fools that it’s cool.

Pros and Cons of Weed Legalization

Okay, a sensitive topic.  Here are some things that each side should think about, and why it might not be such a good idea.

Pros.

1. Not getting arrested for smoking.

That’s a big plus, it cuts down on the stress that law-enforcement have to deal with, and allows them to talk harder drugs.

2. Easier to purchase.

Now you can go down to the “Sheeps-R-Us” and buy a 20-count pack of weedarettes, with the weed of your choice.  How easy!

Cons.

1.  Taxes!

With the sale of weed, comes the ever important sales tax, so, now that dimebag you were buying for $10, is now inflated and altered to $14.99 plus Tax!  Great, now I have to pay more for my bud.  Fuck you, America.

2. Theft.

Not just big stores, but, little people will have an increased risk of getting their bud stolen.  Since, instead of it being a felony for possessing weed, it’ll be just a simple theft charge, maybe a fine and probation for first time offenders.

Conclusion

So, if you are willing to take risks, and spend a little more, I say attempt to get weed legalized.

Any of the shit here is what I think in my head and may not be exactly what you think, if you disagree with or just want to talk about something, and wish to do so in a civil manner, please post a comment.

Until next time,

Rants and Revolutions.

Okay guys, Zak here, living life and whatnot.  Judging by the title you want Revolutions first, but, rants need to go first, so..

Rants:

1) What is Racism and What is not.

Okay, this is to those that think the term Nigger is racist.. It’s not.  Nigger is used in todays society, for the most part, to indicate someone, not neccesarily black, that dress like a gangster, slurs their speech, and acts like a general buffoon.  You may see more and more of the White Niggers (Wiggers) today than Black ones, because it’s a social trend, using the term Nigger in that form, is 100% not racist, using it in reference to all black men is.  So, if I call someone a nigger, they generally deserve the term, not because they are black, but, because they are morons!

2)  I hate <insert social site here>

Now, you may be saying to yourself, “Zak, hate is a strong word, you can’t possible hate a social site, you are on several and even blogging is social now-a-days”.  Wrong, Jackass, sites like wordpress, etcetera, don’t have people HORDING friends, glossing up their page so much that it freezes your browser, and just making themselves seem retarded.. And to the point of me on “social sites”, I am not there to be your friend, nor do I gloss my page up, it’s there to keep in contact with people I actually know and as a tool [1].  Nothing more, nothing less.

3) Creationism Vs. Intelligent Design && Republic Vs. Democrat

I see a shit load of these arguments on sites today, and it makes me want to kill lots of people, I’ll address this in list format.

a) evolutionism Vs. Intelligent Design:
This is one of the ones that make me facepalm, there are clear components of both intelligent design AND evolution, so, why not have both, an intelligent being that made us to evolve, simple, to the point, and makes people shut the fuck up.  I don’t care what you believe in, but, arguing about it on digg, redditt, random forum, is like arguing with a brick wall. Now..

i) To the Evolutionists:   Being on a “fringe science”, you have no right to argue with anyone, you have VERY LITTLE facts, and it makes you seem like a prick, don’t let people bait you into an argument, with no proof to back it up.

ii) To the Creationists:   Being a “part of a religion”, you have no right to argue with anyone, you have VERY LITTLE facts, and it makes you seem like a prick, don’t let people bait you into an argument, with no proof to back it up.

b) Republic Vs. Democrat:  This is a touchy subject, but, I’ll go on.. STOP FUCKING ARGUING ABOUT WHO IS BETTER/RIGHT. For all I care you can be a Far-Right Republican or a Far-Left Democrat, if you are not changing society for the betterment of all, AND CAN PROVE IT, then just shut the fuck up.  And, truthfully, just be quite in general, noone cares who you are voting for, nor how much you want to suck <presidental canadite here>, the fact remains that both sides have strong and weak points, and it’s like trying to kill eachother with a tissue and some lint stuck to said tissue is me.  It annoys the fuck out of me and makes me want to eat your face and any children you may have.

i) To the Republicans:  You may have some fair arguments, but, the fact remains that you still can do better, we don’t care about your stance on <insert controversial thing here> because it’s most likely going to make you retarded, shut up.

ii) To the Democrats:  You may have some fair arguments, but, the fact remains that you still can do better, we don’t care about your stance on <insert controversial thing here> because it’s most likely going to make you retarded, shut up.

4) To people who have morals:  Welcome to the internet, now, seriously, noone cares, morals do not exist on the internet, and cuss words (Fuck, Cunt, Bitch, Dick, Ass, Shit, Nigger, Spic, and Wuggledorf) will always exist, and there will be someone saying them on the “Hello Kitty and the Rainbow Pony Message Board and Eye Gouge Spa.”  If you don’t like it, get off the internet, write a 20 page essay about how your a demeaned by those words, and mail them to “PO BOX 666, Don’t Give A Fuck, Internet, 13370″, they will deal with it there.

Revolutions:

Okay, you guys have been waiting for me to announce this “big project” that I have going on, but, truthfully, it’s not finished, although I can give you a name: Project Discord [2] and the main goal of it, To cause Discord (See Chaos).  It’s nearing it’s final stages, with just a few more tweaks, and then I will release it to my friends, from there we will see where it goes. and now some PD art.

Project Discordia

Just a note: This is the OFFICAL site of Project Discrodia, news post will be made here until otherwise stated.

On ‘Vitaly’ and tech shix

/me blows dust off the journal

Wow, it’s sure been a while since I’ve posted here, or anywhere for that matter. How are you, ladies and gentlemen.
Not much art coming this way, ehwhat?

…anyway…

To explain the title:
Ayman just gave me his old laptop: [Soviet insignia on the hood included] an LG… something. To be honest, I didn’t bother to check. I’m cool with it, either way. It’s a laptop with 512MB of DDR RAM and pretty powerful CPU and GPUs.
It only made sense to christen it the Commietop 5000

…though as soon as I got to work with it, my plans to wirelessly control a range of computers across the world and make them do my bidding… ran headlong into a brick wall.
To put it simply, [there's no other way to put it. The poor thing's on life support as me and Ayman don't know what the hell's wrong with it] it craps out alot
Apparently I installed Ubuntu 8 successfully the other night, complete with ‘Your system is now installed. Please restart your computer’ prompt.

[NOTE: I'm not running my OS off an inbuilt hard-drive, but a 6GB Apple iPod via. USB]

I did so.
Whilst it was closing down to reboot, it suddenly shut off!
I turn it back on and it loads the Ubuntu menu prompt, as it does when you leave the disc in.
I take the disc out and restart:

<No operating system detected>

Okay. Could just be a malfunction.
I unplug the iPod from the USB, shut the laptop off and try it again.

<No operating system detected>

I shut the laptop off once more and leave it. It’s getting late and I’m tired. So I try the next night:

<Loading GRUB>
<GRUB loaded>
<Error 15>

…
So I try again. Same thing.
I try to install it on the iPod again after checking the install disc for defects
No defects on the install disc. What’s going on here?
It tells me the iPod has partitioned itself into two parts
I try to manual install to the iPod and it starts
After about an hour of patiently waiting for the laptop to stop burning a hole through my bedsheets:

<Installing system: 72%>
** system suddenly shuts off **

I have no idea if that much detail was needed for the solution to my problem to be found, but nevertheless.
It’s been a while since I’ve dabbled in computer hardware [laptops not included] and I really don’t want to fork over £9,000 to get it fixed.
For anyone willing to offer free advice, here’s a rundown:

• Laptop has no battery
• Runs off mains charger
• Laptop has no internal hard-disk
• Apple iPod 6GB substitutes hard-disk
• It dies randomly

So there we have it. A rundown of ‘Vitaly’, the newest machine in my aptly-named collection of computers.
One day I really must introduce it to ‘Hiro’ and ‘Case’.

Anyway, good day!
For those who still have summer left, enjoy it
For those who are coming to the Mother of All LAN Parties, I’ll see you at my place near enough 1900hrs tomorrow. You know who you are!

Oh, and thanks Ayman! 

/me grins

Keep on rocking you ridiculous bastard!

~Peace!

 

 

Oh, and yes. I did delete everything on my DeviantArt on a whim. Oh well

Another Guest Post to Keep the Blood Flowing

So, having just awaken, I decide to stalk Mr. W.  And see that he hasn’t updated this blog in ages, hence where I come in.  and, I guess all I am in the mood to do is rant.

and it’ll be in easy-browse-through format

1) Ignorant Internet-Tough-Guys This is directed at you.  Why?  You are not tough, you cannot beat someone up over the internet, and by picking out a fight over the tubes, you are, in effect, making yourself seem both horribly idiotic, and look like a douche.  I swear, there needs to be a new medical disease called “Looklikeadouche Syndrome” because, believe me, a lot of people have it.  Why not take your empty threats, and write them into an angst filed blog post, or.. ya know.. kill yourself, to prevent you disease from spreading to your kids.

2) Massive Corporations Congrats on the whole, being rich thing.  But, aside from that, shut the hell up!  We do not need your fucking ads on everything, especially if it’s for shit we DO NOT NEED.  I fucking swear if I have to watch 3 commericals in a row, all about god-damn shampoo, from three different companies, that all do the same damn thing, and all claim to be “THE BEST”, I will end up giving GW a banana and tell him to nuke ourselves, because we are just to goddamn retarded.  Which brings me to my next rant.

3) Materialists Hey, you fuckers out there that buy everything you want, have OVER 9000 cars, lots of hot women and a 9e9 story house?  You are fucking retarded. You sit in your damn house, wondering what to buy next, where you could be funding cures for AIDs, and maybe potentially, having your name written all over the cure, wouldn’t that make your e-penis quite large?  Stop buying shit, seriously, if you stop buying and give to charity all your money that you don’t need, it would, in effect, stabilize the economy, all why helping the poor guys.

4) Music Fascists We know you like pop music, we see you with your trendy womans jeans and scene-girl hair, even though you are a 47 year old man.  But, god forbid we like music you don’t!!  “That band totally sucks” You spout constantly about every band that I could possibly like, in your little-girl-lisp.  Hey! Fuck you!  Just because I am not a narrow-minded douche who adheres to one form of music, does not mean that I cannot grasp the fact of what music is, or is not, good.  What is good to me may not be good to you, so stuff it in your fucking loose ass.

and Finally:

5) Niggers* Hey buddy, we know how gangster you are, how bad ass you and your nine are and how you will get more pussy and more money than we ever will our whole goddamn lives, but, when I am shopping and walking down the isle, and you take it upon yourself to impede every step I take by leaving your cart with your 25 kids running around and your big-ass in the middle of the isle, I get pissed.  Then you get all offended that I have an attitude with you?  and I am racist now because I am white, and you had to deal with slavery shit and BLAH BLAH BLAH!  Hey, wake the fuck up, slavery happened way before you, or even your grandfather, was born, so shove that lame-as-fuck excuse, and come up with a new one.  Yes, there are indeed racists, but, not every white-devil is racist.  Also, if you try to ask me something, and it’s in your useless “Gangster-Speak” or whatever it’s called, where you slur your words, speak in 1 syllables, and generally destroy the English Language, do not get offended when I chose to ignore you.

* The term Niggers is meant for the ignorant black people, I know there are good black people out there whom these guys are destroying the reputation of, by having the biggest mouth and the biggest attitude, I do not use the term Nigger for all black people and find it when it is used in that form to be racists, which I am not!

Thanks for reading my hatred on paper, tune in whenever the fuck I feel like it, for my next SAGE!

Flame on! or Off switch not included

This entry has been edited from the original MySpace bulletin

Seriously, guys, the chain mail spam that’s whoring all the space in my inbox is really fucking getting to me. So are the random flames. and the in-your-face attitude I seem to be getting from everyone and their bloody dog. The odd flaming irl or online I can take*, but this is just getting stupid.

To start, your chainmail: I like to think of it as hate mail, personally, but that’s just me. Maybe I’m just sensitive or whatever? It doesn’t really matter… According to you I’m a ‘fuck-up’ or however you choose to paraphrase it anyway.

Just to take a stab at that select few who make my inbox like the basement of hell on most days: NOBODY WANTS TO REPOST YOU’RE FREQUENTLY COLOUR-CODED AND — MORE OFTEN THAN NOT — HOLLOWLY-THREATENING TEENYBOPPER BULLSHIT APART FROM PEOPLE WHO ARE LIKE YOURSELF. That is to say, mainstream-culture molded, uptight… well… wankers. I’m sure you wouldn’t think twice about accusing me of being ‘gay’** or a ‘pedophile’*** before ‘coming out’ that you’re jumping on the bandwagon that is bisexualism.

Generally all it does is make people who are single look like shit. It’s a new level of low: emotional warfare, or, to coin a term at random, amorahostilism

You know who I mean if you’re reading this. We’ve had words before.

Harsh, harsh words.

I don’t need your analysation of my relationship status every. fucking. day. I see your game and I refuse to play it. What your purpose of doing so is, I have no idea.
I’m not going to ‘repost this as ..’ because I’m single / in a relationship / like someone but they don’t like you back.

I know, technically, it’s not an invasion of privacy, as I don’t actually have to reply, but still — you know I’m not interested, so why do you keep the bullshit coming? I’m not going to sink down to your level and give into your labelled conformist crock.

enjoy your Ring-influenced sheep culture on that matter
for those who refuse to reply to chain mail, I salute you.

If you took the time to read this through, but you’d rather be doing something else, then thanks for taking the time.

PS: oh, and yes: I’m back. I wouldn’t exactly say ‘better than ever’, but it’s close enough. Stay tuned

PPS: also, entry with the most footnotes to date!

* - [with a pinch of salt knowing that they're just petty jabs]
** - I find the use of the word ‘gay’ in derogatory ways offensive, personally. While I do not find the concept of being accused of being ‘gay’ offensive to me, personally, I find it misunderstanding to those who are.
*** - At this I can only say: “what the fuck were you thinking?” Congratulations, you’ve labelled me a pedophile and I’m a fourteen year-old virgin.

keeping my ‘head down’

And this is not my face

And this is not my life

And there is not a single thing here…
…I can recognize

This is all a dream

And none of you are real

I’ll give anything…

I’ll give anything…

Going on hiatus for a while, guys.

Some serious shit to do irl.

Much love, et cetera

call me 013366

Before you read this blog entry, I’d just like to make clear: 013366 isn’t my number.
No, I’m not going to give you my number, and no, you can’t contact me on that number.

Believe me; you wouldn’t want to anyway.

on a positive note - just so corrupting your day with negative socio-rants is all the more sweeter…:

That’s right! I’m getting back into Tears for Fears.* this single [Mothers Talk] being one of my favourites of their’s, aswell as being one of my favourite hits of the Eighties, bar none. If you like New Wave or alt. rock, I recommend giving this a listen - aswell as some of their lesser-known sleeper hits… Change for example.

Hopefully they’ll have a new album out in the next century or so.,,

anyway, time to focus abruptly on the matter at hand here:

something which I am going to refer to as ‘Orwellising’ - obviously, this is going to be heavily 1984-related.

Any teachers reading this will be familiar with the BromCom system - widely used in schools since the technological boom a few years ago - that is primarily used to keep track of student’s pastoral and attendance records. Being a system relied on by thousands of schools every day, it has to live up to this supply-and-demand routine of patching it and bringing out new updates to better suit the educative system. There is no other way of doing this. It either adapts or loses business and whatnot.

But business is not what’s important in the equation of sorts.

The latest BromCom update added a new factor to this whole system of logging attendance and general pupil administration: serial numbers.

The kind you often see on organized crime lists, or, more popularly, prison uniforms.

Having the mindset of a futurist paranoiac maybe isn’t the best thing to have in my possession, what with this particular subject subsconsciously threatening future Orwellisation, of education atleast. But then again, maybe it’s just common sense? We’re already supposedly watched over one-hundred times, just walking down our local high street. ‘Speaking’ and remote-control cameras are already in place in some countries out in the Far East, I believe. Media censoring! The list goes on.

After all, every social revolution has started from one small point, and a set of organized rules.

In this case: education administration and laws on logging every. fscking. thing. that goes on inside schools. Of course, that is, everything that happens outside of closed doors. Everyone knows that what happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors, until the metaphorical ‘concoction’ is complete and is released into the wild, only to come back and bite them in the ass.

Bottom line is: an increase in monitoring would be a bit of a one-sided battle for a while, and then, somehow, it’ll all fuck up. If you want proof Mr. Government Man, compare how long it took for this country, and others, to get back on it’s feet after a war, with the problems still faced in every day society.

Don’t fight for nothing.

Do’svedanya.

* - for those that know me better, in the late 90s/early 00s, TfF were one of [if not the only one] my favourite bands. I use the term ‘band’ loosely, as there’s only two of them, but still.
