The Patriot Act: taking your Constitutional rights and raping them until they bleed out the ass!

Seriously, what the fuck is up with this? I can get stopped by a cop, detained without probable cause, searched without consent, arrested without a warrant, and then denied the right to a speedy trial. Talk about taking away my rights.

Under the Patriot Act I was unable to continue with a project in digital encryption I had been working on, because if you have communications the government can't intercept, the FBI will be on your doorstep that same day. Not tomorrow, not in a few weeks, but TODAY.

Here are a few spook words that, when dropped in government-monitored (read: all) channels of communication, will set off a few alarms. Use them.

Things I hate:

71. The Patriot Act

"So just to make us feel better, we're all in this false state of security, and then the aliens come, and beat the shit out of us."

Let's continue this. There's a point coming, albeit slowly. Aliens really come from Switzerland, because that's where all the smart people are, and if I was a smart person, which, being the best person in the universe, I am, I'd want to fool all you goobers by making you think I was an alien.

So Switzerland is going to BEAT THE FUCKING SHIT OUT OF US ALL, and that's why they're being all neutral and shit. We've got to kick their little lederhosen-wearing asses before they get nukes or some shit like that.

We are all so very very screwed. By the way, there's nothing frightening about this post at all.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, LOSERS!

I'm feeling that Christmas spirit right about now. Too bad it's over in 8 minutes.

Have fun with your loot, kiddies. :-)

I mean, WTF? At each holiday, bad shit happens to him.

Halloween, he goes Trick-or-Treating with his homies. They all get loads of candy and shit, but what does he get? ROCKS. Fucking ROCKS. Who would give a kid a rock on Halloween anyway? Who besides me, I mean. And then after that he goes to a Halloween party, but all they do is sketch a pumpkin on the back of his head and pissify him majorly! To top it off, he only has one fucking hair on his head! That's worse than being bald, because instead of making fun of your baldness, they make fun of your SINGLE HAIR!

Sir Haxx A L0t: poor Charlie Brown
Sir Haxx A L0t: he needs a hug
Xhearthopestodie: i would give him kisses..just to make him happy

Christmas, he goes all-out trying to put on this Christmas play, and all his actors fucking quit on him, and stupid Linus steals the spotlight to read some Bible verses. Charlie Brown's thunder gets stolen once again. So then he tries to win this Christmas decoration competition, and he goes and gets the only real tree he can find... and it's a dinky little falling-apart half-dead one. So he has this stupid little tree and he puts one fucking ornament on it and it falls over. Charlie Brown feels inadequate, and then fucking SNOOPY wins the contest for his stupid decorated doghouse, WTF!

Thanksgiving, he tries to make Thanksgiving dinner but fucks it up, and he has to have toast and popcorn and jellybeans. That's not so bad, but it's Thanksgiving, and his friends bitch at him because his dinner sucks so bad, so they go to his grandmother's, BUT SHE LIVES IN A CONDO! I feel sorry for him AND his grandmother, having all those bitchy kids in one condominium.

Valentine's Day, he never gets any action from that little redheaded girl, only Peppermint Patty, who's just a loser. Nobody loves Charlie Brown.

Why does bad shit always happen to Charlie Brown? Charlie Brown is awesome. He has such a depressing life. Just bad shit and more bad shit, and his stupid dog keeps having flashbacks to when he was a war hero, and never appreciates anything Charlie Brown does for him. Even Woodstock hates him, that stupid bird. Nobody appreciates the hero in Charlie Brown. He tries so hard, but he gets jack-shit from everyone, but THIS COURAGEOUS LITTLE BOY JUST KEEPS ON TRYING!

Charlie Brown is a true American cartoon hero.

Share This Groove

And a happy New Year.

I'm getting pissed off at all the bullshit manufactured music put out today, so here are some bands/artists that kick more ass than anybody playing today ever will.

• Pink Floyd
• Phish
• Victor Wooten
• Primus
• Beck
• String Cheese Incident
• The Who
• The Doors
• Led Zeppelin
• Deep Purple
• Vida Blue
• The Beatles
• The Rolling Stones
• Jimi Hendrix
• Medeski Martin & Wood
• Weird Al Yankovic
• Yngwie Malmsteen
• The Grateful Dead
• Eric Clapton
• Cream (I know that was redundant, STFU)
• Secondhand Jive
• The Talking Heads
• Aerosmith
• Dispatch

That ought to wean you off the shit being put out today. Music gets worse as technology gets better, it seems. Yes, I know they aren't related. STFU.

Dance Dance Revolution. Worst game EVER. It was designed specifically by people who hate me. Fuck them.

For those of you who don't know what it is (I wish I was you), it's where anime nerds (or "otaku" as they like to call themselves) gyrate disturbingly and "dance" to blasting, annoying and repetitive "J-pop" (porn-style techno, but with Japanese lyrics). Fuck.

I think the worst part of DDR is the people who play it. They think they have rhythm and are deluded, in addition, into thinking they can actually dance. Fuck you, all you can do is move your fat ass in front of an arcade game. That's not dancing, that's being a fuckwit.

DDR is easily one of the worst epidemics to hit the planet. Bubonic plague? Pfffft, that only killed a few million people. That's nothing. Every time I go to the arcade I have to watch some fatass play DDR. I go home and wash my eyes out with paint thinner and rock salt just to be safe, but I feel like gouging them out with a spork to prevent from ever being violated that way again. I want to program my own version of DDR that delivers an electrical shock to you every time you pass a level, the voltage increasing as the "difficulty" increases.

Your DDR skill is inversely proportional to your actual dancing skill. It's also directly proportional to your weight, the number of pimples on your face, the thickness of your glasses, how much Japanese you know, how many anime shows you watch on a regular basis, and how long you'll live in your parents' basement for after you graduate. I'd write a mathematical equation, but the only people nerdy enough to understand it would probably play DDR, and I don't want losers like that on my site.

DDR wouldn't be so bad if a few changes were made:

• Add better music. J-pop is the Japanese equivalent of Chinese Water Torture. They use it to interrogate prisoners of war. We could own Japan's ass in war if we got anime nerds to fight in the army.
• Change the concept so that instead of stepping on things and pulling off "moves", you shoot people.
• Instead of the shit graphics they have now, have people explode with lots of blood. When this happens, call it a "gib".
• Make it so you can play online against other fans of the game, and chat to them in real time.

There's already a game like this. It's called Quake III: Arena. It's the best game ever made and anyone who doesn't like it should be assraped by a fat anime nerd while they listen to J-pop, just to get an idea of what they're going to turn into if they don't play good games once in a while.

DDR is the worst game ever made. The music sucks, the game sucks, the players suck, the designers suck, Japan can lick my nuts. I hate DDR, I hate people who play DDR, and if you disagree I hate you.

Things I hate:

70. Dance Dance Revolution

In accordance with my massive ego, I decided that you should all listen to these, because they rock. I played them so they're good. STFU, I don't care if you don't want to.

Reinita1987: what the fuck are you doing?
Sir Haxx A L0t: before you write me again, research your logical fallacies.
Sir Haxx A L0t: You look VERY amateur when you use them in an... err... did you call those arguments?
Sir Haxx A L0t: Google can probably answer any questions you have about them.
Sir Haxx A L0t: An argument must not only be sound, but valid.
Sir Haxx A L0t: This means that you must meet TWO requirements to own someone (win):
Sir Haxx A L0t: 1. You must be right.
Sir Haxx A L0t: 2. Your argument must be structured correctly.
Sir Haxx A L0t: You can follow either traditional or modern logic, I don't give a fuck
Sir Haxx A L0t: but AT LEAST don't use fallacies!
Reinita1987: what fallacies did i use?
Sir Haxx A L0t: Appeal to popularity and guilt by association
Sir Haxx A L0t: I think I could find composition and strawman in there somewhere too.

*snicker*

Behold as I own some ass, once again.

I’m “pseudo-intellectual”? Why because I examine my surrounding and my culture and either learn to accept it or to try to change it?

Show me something you've changed about your surrounding culture and the overall impact it has on the world. Exactly. You lose.

Because I’m aware of what society is trying to feed me and how they do/don’t influence me? Because I think?

If you "thought", you'd realize that I was agreeing with you.

The whole point of what I wrote was to show how avoiding pop-culture was in its self pop-culture and that just knowing that doesn’t do shit. You have to want to do something about it.

No shit? I already WANT to do something about it. That requirement is already filled. I have done things about it on a local level, and by writing this and circulating it around the 'Net, I hope to eventually spread this mindset to others. I'll be damned if that isn't doing something about it.

We can’t let our generation deteriorate to co-dependant wannabes. That’s why I find that just writing about it doesn’t do shit because the only people who will read what you write are people who already agree with you.

Bullshit. If everybody who read something agreed with it, I wouldn't be writing right now.

If you are just going to yell about it online then shut the hell up because you are just a waste of space, we have enough people doing the same exact thing.

Exactly. The Internet is a forum of free speech. The Internet has become almost synonymous with free expression.

So what is the fucking point?

To express myself. I demand that this voice be heard. Fuck you if you think I should be silenced. Here's some breaking news for you:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." -The First Amendment, part of the U.S. Bill of Rights... collect the whole set! It's my right to say what I want to. That's why I do it.

My site on the other hand is to communicate to people I know about my day and reflections I have had; that’s all. If other people want to know about me then they can read it too.

Correction: your site is buying into the blogging trend. Blogging is an art form. Nobody cares how many times you took a nap today, or how boring your classes were, or what you're doing this weekend, really. Nobody on the Internet gives a fuck about what you do from day to day. If you want to write about it, fine, but I will rip you to fucking shreds if you try to criticize me and talk yourself up at the same time for a piece-of-shit you call a website. Nobody wants to know about you. This is the Internet; you're just another anonymous name without a face.

I’m not going to go online to try to change what other people think...it’s useless.

You seem to be trying pretty damn hard to change what I think. Pot, meet kettle; he's black.

You haven’t said anything that has any meaning; you pretty much just regurgitated what I said in a tacky way and added that you didn’t care what other people thought. Whoopty-do!

Remind me again how you arrived at this conclusion? Don't be afraid to admit it; "I just pulled it out of my ass" is a perfectly valid cop-out.

And to compare your self to the awesome people who invented all those things would be wrong. Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Edison are way above you. Don’t even try.

a·nal·o·gy Pronunciation Key
n. pl. a·nal·o·gies

1. 1. Similarity in some respects between things that are otherwise dissimilar.
   2. A comparison based on such similarity. See Synonyms at likeness.

Merriam-Webster says you're wrong. Just for the record, Ben Franklin did the exact same thing as I'm doing. Ever heard of the Silence Dogood letters? Here you go, read all about it. That's right; Benjamin Franklin wrote a series of letters to his brother's newspaper about things that he never did anything to change. Going by your tortured logic, that makes him an asshole. Ouch, you just shot yourself in the fucking foot. Nice going, cuntrag.

I eagerly await your inarticulate follow-up. Bitch-slapping you with the Gauntlet of Logical Fallacy was especially fun. I spotted the use of Appeal to Popularity and Guilt by Association.

Appeal to Popularity: "Most people buy in to pop culture, therefore pop culture is stupid." Prime example.

Guilt by Association: "You should reject your way of life because parts of it are pop culture." Come on, I know you can do better.

Ever hear a shitty song on the radio and think, "What the fuck? Who would play such a piece of shit?" only to hear the DJ announce the name of one of your (ex) favorite bands? How many times have you bought the latest album put out by a band you used to respect, only to discover it sucked astronomically huge amounts of ass?

Read on, I'll tell you about a few BANDS THAT HAVE GONE TO HELL.

Red Hot Chili Peppers
What the hell? They used to kick so much ass! Compare "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" (easily their best album) to "By The Way" (easily their worst album). What the hell happened? They went from being original, talented funk-rockers to depressed losers. "By The Way", what the hell? That album is a piece of shit. The songs are all the same three chords rearranged in slightly different strumming patterns. What the hell? People who don't break away from the basic 3-chord construction of rock music are only in it for the money. I guarantee you that is the case 90% of the time. New RHCP music sucks balls.

Metallica
Here's an IRC gem from bash.org:
<SRG> Metallica sold out in 45 mins :/
<NotOneOfUs> Yeah I know.
<NotOneOfUs> Oh wait
<NotOneOfUs> You mean, like, a concert?
<SRG> yes

"St. Anger", what the fuck? "St. Anger" sucked. "Load" and "Ride The Lightning" rocked so hard, it's tough to believe that Metallica could put out a piece of shit like "St. Anger". To put it in the words of my friend Sam (check out his website), "Metallica got worse as their hair got shorter." All too true. Don't get "St. Anger."

REM
REM was good before they crossed over into the territory of "adult contemporary". Now they just SUCK. There aren't words to describe the "adult contemporary" type of suckage. It sucks like the feeling you get when it's 4 in the afternoon and you haven't gotten anything done. The kind of suck that makes the part of you that respects REM shrivel up and die.

U2
Complaining about how bad life sucks was cool when you were young. You can't do that and be 40 years old at the same time. "Vertigo", what the hell, that song is SO overplayed, and obnoxious to top it all off. Quit while you're ahead and don't put out another album.

Aerosmith
Your new album sucks, you've lost your touch, and Steven Tyler isn't cool anymore now that he can't sing without wheezing. "Honkin' On Bobo" = the worst attempt at blues I've ever heard.

The Grateful Dead
If I were Jerry Garcia, I wouldn't be grateful that I was dead, at least not as long as these guys were still putting out music. Jerry Garcia WAS the Grateful Dead. The least you could have done was rename yourselves, "Bob Weir and Friends" or something like that. You are nothing without Jerry Garcia.

Start taking after the Beatles, guys. Split up at the pinnacle of your career. It's better to go out in a blaze of glory than to fade away quietly.

Here's a quote from B.S.'s sister on The Gravy Train:
I don't spend my time denouncing everything around me, what the fuck would be the point in that? Everyone I care about knows that pop culture breeds a lower class of ingrates. So why spend time yelling about it? I can understand why my brother does it, he is still surrounded my a bunch of teeny-boppers who follow trends as they come and don't think for them selves but I like to think that I am surrounded by enlightened people. We know that we are constantly being advertised to, we can detect it. I doubt this Jason (asshole) even knows that he himself is buying in to the pop culture that he is so easily denouncing, he is part of it. Even those who think hey have escaped haven't. I.e. Goths=pop culture, metal heads= pop culture, punk rockers = extreme pop culture. They are all being advertised to and have become the pop culture they so despise. Just know that you can run but you can't hide, they come and take it will become POP CULTURE! HAHA! Even all these "I hate those who conform" people are a bunch of conformists they also look for people that think the way they do, so don't bash others for doing the exact same thing you are doing. You do it to fit in with your "I hate the way our world works and anyone who doesn't think what I think is stupid" people. If you are going to say that something should be done, fucking do something about it don't just sit there like an all-mighty being and talk shit about it. Get your lazy ass up and do something.

This was the point of my article on how much I hate goths, fucktard. Also, I've got some more food for thought for you to chew on.

Hating pop culture is vastly becoming a way of life. Nobody is original. Everything has already been said, done, whatever. Even the thoughts you just had and wrote down, those aren't original. Even calling me an asshole; believe it or not, that has happened before. MANY times before.

There's only one original thing left to do: whatever the hell you feel like doing.

Welcome to my world. I do whatever catches my fancy. I live with style. If you don't like it, fuck you. If part of what I do is part of what pop culture does (which it is, since this kind of mindset is very popular nowadays), I flat-out refuse to go out of my way to change that. Going out of your way to AVOID pop culture is just as bad as being part of it. What I do is currently trendy. Eventually this will pass and some new, stupid fad will come along. Hell, maybe this will be the new trend. Whatever happens, I'm going to keep churning out these articles and doing what I feel like doing.

I am geek, hear me roar. The Internet, the only forum of true free speech and expression, is the doing of geeks. Electricity, artificial light, the CD, the DVD, the radio, the television, hell, even the wheel, all invented by geeks. We are the ONLY reason why society doesn't collapse around your ears. We're the ones sitting around those big marketing tables INVENTING pop culture. I guarantee you that geekdom is the ONLY thing that will never become pop culture, because it's impossible for so many people to achieve. I don't pretend to have escaped pop culture. A lot of what I do is popular. Writing about things you hate, that's pretty damn popular. Case in point: Maddox. Even Maddox isn't original... he's not the first one to write about things that piss hm off.

Nobody is original, nobody has escaped pop culture, and nobody is impressed with your pseudo-intellectual shit about it. But until the day when Linux and programming in C are popular, I will not yield to your bullshit.

You have been thoroughly owned. Have a nice day.

A. They wouldn't be losers anymore.

T-zone's solution to solving stupidity on the Internet: GET RID OF THE CAPSLOCK KEY.

Here's an example of an AOL conversation now:
GETTOBOOTY420: HEY WATS UP
IMTOOSEXY69: NM MAN U
GETTOBOOTY420: IM CHILLIN DUDE LOL
IMTOOSEXY69: MAN I HATE SKOOL MAN
GETTOBOOTY420: LETS SHOOT IT UP I GOT ASSALT RIFLEZ LOL
IMTOOSECY69: K

See? If it weren't for CapsLock, we never would have had Columbine! Here's an AOL conversation without CapsLock:
SmartDude42: Hello.
IAmTheWalrus8: Good day, sir.
SmartDude42: Lovely weather.
IAmTheWalrus8: Indeed.
SmartDude42: School is rather vapid, though, don't you agree?
IAmTheWalrus8: Yes, but let's remember that the decisions we make now while we're young and foolish could cause us grief and suffering for the rest of our lives.
SmartDude42: You're absolutely right. I'm so glad we had this talk.
IAmTheWalrus8: Oh, it was my pleasure. Say, would you like to come with me to the opera this evening?
SmartDude42: Of course, my good sir!
IAmTheWalrus8: I'll see you at 8 then.

Every time you use CapsLock, God kills a kitten.

OK, you know that I have a huge ego. We're talking BIG here. Here's earth: ------->^.

Now here's my ego:
------->(T-ZONE'S EGO! PH34R!)
That's pretty damn big. In spite of this, I'd like to point you in the direction of a friend of mine, author of this kickass blog. It's called The Gravy Train.

This guy has it all worked out. He knows what's up, he hates pop culture, and he has your punk ass figured. Read his writings or I will spork your eyes out.

P.S. Having your eyes sporked out != fun
