Musical Elitism

So I realized the other day that I've become an elitist indie bastard. Then I started wondering exactly why I've become to hate mainstream music so much. The following is a hypothetical rationalization of the origin of this hate.

• 1. A band is popular in mainstream culture.
• 2. Some people who subscribe to this mainstream culture may not have the best judgment or taste.
• 3. Mainstream people are idiots.
• 4. Idiots listen to this band.
• 5. I don't want to be associated with idiots.
• 6. I hate this band.

Alternative 1:

• 1. A band is popular in mainstream culture.
• 2. Some people who subscribe to this mainstream culture may not have the best judgment or taste.
• 3. Mainstream people are idiots.
• 4. Idiots listen to this band.
• 5. Therefore, this band is horrible.
• 6. I hate this band.

Alternative 2:

• 1. A band is popular in mainstream culture.
• 2. Some parts of mainstream culture purely rely on marketing to achieve appeal, and thus profit, and lack substance.
• 3. Mainstream culture has no substance.
• 4. This band has no substance.
• 5. I hate this band.

Final Fantasy XIII, Biatch!

Dayamm. Would you look at those graphics. Yup, the news came out two days ago. Microsoft dropped their megaton, announcing that Final Fantasy XIII is no longer a PS3 exclusive; it's coming to 360 as well! Yay. Sony should be worried now, considering such big titles as GTA and FF are being shared with Microsoft now, when they used to be exclusive to Sony. Oh well. They still have some pretty cool stuff like Little Big Planet and Resistance 2.

Anyway, back to FFXIII. All they've released is mostly pre-rendered footage and a little bit of real-time, but what's out there is stunning. The last Final Fantasy game I've played to any extent was FFVIII, and I do anticipate seeing how the series has progressed in the roughly ten years since VIII was released. The main character chick is lookin real badass too. Oh yeah, can't forget Mr. Blond Motorcycle dude too.

Anyway, here's a trailer for the game in case you haven't been acquainted with it yet...

Yeh so that's one of the older trailers, back before they dropped the megaton. That's why it only mentions a PS3 release.

You can see the new trailer here. It's the Japanese version, so again, it says PS3 only. Do not fear, 360 owners! They just aren't releasing it on 360 in Japan. North America and Europe WILL see a 360 release, which does make sense because the 360 is pretty much nonexistant in Japan.

Promotion

Yeah, what a coincidence. We graduated on Friday the 13th. Wooo. Happy things are going to happen. Then again, we don't believe in that crap, do we? Anyways, I've got some summer classes coming up in a few weeks. Nothing much, really. My bro's over for some quick vacation time, and my grandmother's going to be here for the whole summer. Did I mention my birthday was just a few days ago? Got me some new ska, too. And some speakers.[/randomlifesummary]

Promo

So yeah, today was the big (probably not) promotion day. We're officially high-school freshi now :O

Note from Wibs: My violin solo was bloody arsefaced. Literally. :O

Oh yeah, popping back from hiatus. We'll probably go right back on hiatus after this post :D
Expect stuff once the school year starts up again though. High school is much more interesting and we'll probably have stuff to talk about.

Maybe the reason that "friend" is so prejudiced towards "sluts" is because he/she is jealous of them. <>

A Bulletin Post

From a friend's bulletin on Myspace...

"Subject: the male gender

has angered me today.
two guys, i'm not saying who, were discussing how sluts were far more attractive than any other girls. i was disturbed by this, and left.

SO, i asked mr. [removed] in the middle of class if he thought slutty girls were attractive. he hit me "playfully" on the head for my terminology, but then said
"uhm...not really, i read some magazines..though.."
i can't remember a time when i blushed so hard.
everyone else was gaping at his comment.
ARE ANY OF YOU GUYS NOT ATTRACTED TO SLUTS?!

oh. and. uhm. i think middle school relationships are terribly confusing."

Just thought that was worth posting...man, our science teacher will be seen in a new light now.

Procrastination is like a threesome; looks good on paper but hurts like hell in the end. Not that I would know.

Year of the Rat

Yeah, yeah, Happy New Year and stuffs. Speaking of the New Year, very soon our very own Duan Bei Shan (Frank Duan) will be performing at the Civic Arts Plaza in Thousand Oaks, California in a New Years Program. Don't forget to watch him embarrass himself at dancing!

Chinese New Year!

Tomorrow (technically today 'cuz it's already happening in China and Taiwan and Korea [yep, they celebrate their new year on the same day]) is Chinese New Year!

Since Mephisto and I are Taiwanese and Chinese respectively, I just decided to give it a mention.

恭喜發財! 新年快樂!

Lol, 69

Aw, shit, I just fucked it up, didn't I? D: The sheep shall kiill me...

Chef Brian: UNO

And so my young consumers...it's time for some CHEFFING!

This is a copy-paste from a chat I had with Mephisto.

It is Chef Brian.

10:19 PM me: The weather outside is windy.

One must realize the effects upon the Constitution this has.

For we have not enough socks to lubricate our house foundation.

Kagu-Tsuchi: Could the paper handles of a shopping bag deflect the flow of ammonium nitrate?

me: And one must question:

What would be more effective at foundation lubricatoin?

10:20 PM A left or right sock?

Or one worn on Tuesday but not Thursday?'

Kagu-Tsuchi: I think a left sock and a spider kneecap.

Thus, the fuck will lubricate your house foundation.

me: No, for sthe spider kneecap has no comparison to the camera lens.

10:21 PM Oh dear. A mysterious command prompt window has appeared.

Kagu-Tsuchi: True, but the camera lens may burn the hair off babies.

me: It is for the better.

Makes the babies tastier for the bookstores.

Kagu-Tsuchi: True, but how will the accountants go to the toilet?

10:22 PM me: They shall not. They will end their lives upon a small fishing boat.

10:23 PM Kagu-Tsuchi: That may be true, but no quail eggs show any evidence of raccon poaching.

me: And yet, the window will reveal the truth upon the true nature of the piano string.

Kagu-Tsuchi: But the candle will dampen the quantum effects of a pinecone upon the universe.

10:24 PM me: Yet they will realize the difference between the goose egg and the marmalade.

10:25 PM Kagu-Tsuchi: No, for the servants will tarnish the cutlery with the quartz, will they not?

me: Yet the oil will scream jovially.

Kagu-Tsuchi: No! Leather!

10:26 PM me: Perhaps. One will see if the scissors will function.

Kagu-Tsuchi: Possibly the horses will defecate upon the strawberries for the clothing designers.

10:27 PM me: And yet it is not haute coture enough.

10:28 PM Kagu-Tsuchi: Yet the carriage will outrace the sun in its attempt to read.

me: I know not of envelop droppings or moose shavings.

envelope*

10:29 PM Kagu-Tsuchi: Mirrors will refract the liquid from the software.

me: Opera.

Kagu-Tsuchi: No, fluoride.

10:30 PM Ferrets will crack your cucumbers for you.

me: Gnomes shall tune your mandelin.

10:31 PM Kagu-Tsuchi: Never! They shall conduct the business of folding my breakfast when the dung beetle wears his watch.

me: One must realize the possibility of temporary nomenclature.

10:32 PM Kagu-Tsuchi: Mortarboards will dig the pies for the mice.

me: Yet they may prefer grapefruit.

10:33 PM Kagu-Tsuchi: But the stockings shall defeat the cellos.

10:34 PM me: They shall pad the insulation with highlighter.

Kagu-Tsuchi: But needle!

me: A mere dandelion.

Kagu-Tsuchi: The night was pleasingly terrorizing the gates.

10:35 PM me: One will wait to see Troy fall.

Kagu-Tsuchi: Pig's feet will render the tea unconscious.

me: Leaf.

10:36 PM Kagu-Tsuchi: No, but asterisk.

me: It shall raise the bar with the least dropped bananas.

Kagu-Tsuchi: Plums will sleep when they gamble on the coffee!

10:37 PM me: Never! They shall drink the next school built on these grounds!

Kagu-Tsuchi: But one must peel the horse daily!

me: Tender...so tender...

10:38 PM Kagu-Tsuchi: Staccato shall heal the satin!

me: Speak! For we wait on your response to our violin consumption hearing.

10:39 PM Kagu-Tsuchi: Never! The powdered eraser will not survive the suction.

me: Perhaps it would be better suited to be placed in a telephone.

10:40 PM Kagu-Tsuchi: The teeth eye the ink graciously!

10:41 PM me: Drink epiphany, for it shall consume antennae.

10:42 PM Kagu-Tsuchi: The pillar will not walk upon the hacksaw!

me: The pupil will betray.

Kagu-Tsuchi: Never, for the old at spectacle will study the frames.

10:43 PM me: Developmental disabilities will help.

Kagu-Tsuchi: Assets, my dear Watson, assets of the gray.

me: But one shall seek butter. And then more.

Kagu-Tsuchi: And then the salesman will whine for the fox.

10:44 PM me: We are on the hunt!

10:45 PM Kagu-Tsuchi: The buckets will empty silicon goblets before long, my friend.

me: We shall see if the sky shall open.

Kagu-Tsuchi: LEDs shall decimate the remaining torch population, however.

10:46 PM me: Yet, cheek bubble.

10:47 PM Kagu-Tsuchi: Parabolic crosses may fear those of wicker tables.

me: Never fear it until you eat!

10:48 PM Kagu-Tsuchi: The scent of pewter manure will distinguish the sepia from the hair.

me: Yet ramble we shall.

10:49 PM Kagu-Tsuchi: The winds will catch the potatoes from the egotism, friend.

10:51 PM Why has no butterfly reached the roots yet?

10:52 PM me: Tastebuds. That is the answer.

Kagu-Tsuchi: That cannot be improbable. Uniforms will desist!

10:54 PM And poof! The hiss remembers!

me: No!

Train of thought

..An da the page is shiny white..white like sheep. Soft, soft fleece mixed on a bed of goat cheese, which is smelly like your mom. Lame jokes abound online like Narutards on deviantART. Did I mention I ruv dA anyways? Anyways, I wonder if this typing position will give me carpal tunnel. Carpet tunnel, like a rolled-up rug? Bugs in rugs scare me. Do insectoid aliens exist? Or living velociraptors? Velociraptors are liek RAUR and liek teeths and clauz and stuffs, rait? Lolcats are funny...they can haz cheezburgrz. There is no burger. The fork pwns the spoon. Why is it called spooning? Wouldn't forking be more correct? Hehe, forks. Like sleeping legs. Why do we stab them?


~Mephisto

Hey! Guess what!

BACARDI 151 AND A LIGHTER!

Meep?

O hai. So, I wuz sik fur a weekz, but nao i'm bettur. Yu wuz all wurried aboot me pl0x?

Anyways, yeah, kind of a filler post to keep our page from stagnating.

Like Shirt Guy Dom comics on MegaTokyo.

Anyways (oh wow, I used that twice in a row), just chillin' out in my house right now...listening to the rain and wind outside my window. Yeap, there were tornadoes not far from here. Gasp! Tornadoes in Southern California?! What's next? North Korean human rights?

Political commentary aside, I have nothing else to say.

Have you ever had to hide out in a secret room while hiding from the Nazis?

No, seriously, were you ever Anne Frank? Oh, and, did you ever feel the need to travel west to California from Oklahoma dirt-poor? Also, were you ever shot down by your country's own soldiers in public? Yeah, really. STOP IT, FUCKERS.

Howzit?

Welcome back, welcome back...welcum baks kittehs!

[Yep, Wibs is back with a new name: Mephisto.]

O hai.

We're back! Yes, believe it or not Wibs and I have decided to finally revive the blag.
It originally died over a dispute over...stuff...but we're on better terms now.

Well, today's been really hectic. SoCal's been having a big storm for like the entire week, and today things just exploded. Thunder, lightning, heavy hail, you name it. Our trashcans got jacked by the street current too (I sense potential new inside joke). Hail pictures here.

Anyways, Wibs and I have been working on translating the Bible to Lolcat pidgin. It's really funny and you should probably check it out here. Check out our handiwork on Matthew 27, starting at verse 13.
