Laughing Out Loud!

Who actually does laugh out loud when they type "LOL"? Who actually says "Laughing out loud" or even "Lots of laugh" in real life? This needs to be changed, because they really mean "Hey, I thought that was mildly amusing, keep it up, send me more amusing anecdotes!" And for that matter, if you think you change it by just typing "haha", how does that work? Did you really laugh? So even you think you thought it was mildly amusing and that you wanted them to keep sending you amusing anecdotes. Don't lie. Can we just make it an effort, and I mean it this time, to only say "LOL" or "haha" if we actually laugh, and "LMAO" if we actually laugh our ass off, or "LMFAO" if we actually laugh our motherfucking ass off? If we don't really do any of the above, let's just say "MA" or "MAA" if you wanted to throw in anecdotes to the abbreviation. This might just work. It may just...

"Fucking insane."

What was insane? Last night at The Ottobar . The first act was the human beat box, Shodakeh. The second act was this crazy dude with a mic and a strobe light-- Dan Deacon , I can't even describe it. But then the third act, Peelander-Z , a "Japanese Action Comic Punk" band from NYC, rocked the fucking house. The audience and the band were completely one at certain times. They'd have people come up on-stage, sometimes giving them little instruments, and once they let three people take over the bass, electric, and drums. The band would come into the pit and play bowling with real pins and a band member. Honestly, I have never seen an act like Peelander-Z before! They're amazing. Next up: Grand Buffet Headlining and the reason I went was to see Grand Buffet , a hip-hop/punk duo from Pittsburgh, PA. They're about to be off the charts, and if you haven't heard of them yet, you're going to soon! Well, I just told you, but besides that. So check em out. Go to...

Wannabe Gangsters

In case anybody still doesn't know, I moved from Columbia to Randallstown, which is still in the great state of Mary's Land, and closer to Baltimore City than Columbia is, but it is still not a ghetto. Let me elaborate. What makes a ghetto is the thugs and gangstas that live there. Well, you've got different degrees of thugs and gangsters. Columbia is too far from Baltimore or DC to really be affected, it's mostly full of suburban kids who think they're hard. They're not hard at all. I mean, look at me. We have a word for this group: posers. You can walk up to them and kick their ass, and they just cry and run home and play Everquest . Randallstown is closer to Baltimore City, but in the end, it is still a suburb, albeit an older suburb, but you still have caldesacs and driveways and whatnot. You see people that look like thugs, who may talk a lot of shit, and sometimes back their shit up, which is something that the poser gangstas never do. So they're a l...

Snorting Honeycomb

A friend once influenced me at Fletchers by snorting Vodka... and I always wanted to try that... except I didn't feel like going to the liquor store (curse you Maryland) and also snorting a liquid (I'm not hardcore enough to snort liquids), so I did the next best thing: You know when there's only one bowl left in a box of cereal and you get all this crushed up cereal along with it? Well apparently, it feels really good when taken up the nose. My mind works in mysterious ways... I think I invented a new drug.
