Why Do You Like Them?

Growing up in the Washington DC area as Cowboys fan I am frequently asked why or how am I a Cowboy’s fan.  I challenge, how are you a Redskin fan?  It is better to be a fan of any other team in the league.  If it’s because it’s the home team then take responsibility for them.

The Redskin name is an insult to America and I can simply tell you why.  You shouldn’t be proud of them until the organization becomes something to be proud of.  Please answer this, would you walk around with a New York Kikes Jersey with a trademark Image like this:

No, right?

What about the Atlanta Niggers, Miami Chinks, or Los Angeles Spics merchandise?  Man, everyone minority group would be angry if an organization did something like that.  And at the nation’s capital at that.  Just because America has nearly wiped out the Native American population doesn’t mean that it’s ok.  They don’t like the Redskin name it is just as insulting as being called a cracker, chink, nigger, spic, towel head or another derogatory racial slur.  The Redskin team being in Washington, DC is a disgrace to the multiculturalism of the United States and constant reminder of what is not great about this country and the way it’s citizens treats one another.  It would less offensive if it wasn’t in the capital but in some “redneck” city where we may expect such overt racism.  So Redskin fans that want to retire the n-word but what about the red-word?

Yes as a Cowboys fan, I do feel a moral superiority because I made a choice not to support racism.

I Got An iPad!

I don’t think I have felt more pressure to write than I have today, so I present…my impressions of the new Apple iPad.  Let me first start off by saying thanks to Susan for the awesome birthday present (Wayne’s World voice, “I’m not worthy!”).  Second, this device is a the start of a new generation of mobile devices.  This son of a bitch is pretty, fast, light, and as smooth as watery shit.  The interface is  surprise responsive.  And so easy and simple to a fault at least for me.

This is probably the finest piece of technology I have had the pleasure of playing with since the xbox 360...not Playstation 3 though (it wasn’t ground breaking).  I can’t help but think this is the future of computing because it works so well.  There are small minor problems like the glare on the screen, no multitasking, no usb ports, and expensive 3G but the biggest problem is that it a toy.  It’s not a tool for me.  It’s not for everyone.  Let me see if I can explain this…It can be used by anyone but it’s not for everyone.  After an hour of playing with it, loading apps, I’m left holding it wondering what am I going to do with this.  All the things that’s it’s good at doing I have stuff that does it better or I don’t need it.  Right now the ebook reader is what excites me most, but the types of books I read are not available in the ebook from yet (mostly technical programming books).  Web browsing is good, but I prefer a computers, the whole right-click and saving thing; also I like multiple windows when I surf the web.  I lost my ipod and didn’t notice for 9 months so I’m not looking for a 9 inch ipod.  Netflix and videos are better seen on the big ass tvs I love dearly.  I don’t travel enough to need the 3G version and when I am home I don’t need the wifi device because i am at home and have the access and the device is not an improvement on my already existing setup.  Maybe if I didn’t already have the stuff I have, this would be a godsend.  Basically, to get the most out this device you need to look at your lifestyle and see if you can use it.  Because it’s not an laptop you can’t install just anything on it.  If there is something you want to use it for then you would need either an app or an web app for it.  That’s what I will use it for to test for make my own apps.  But don’t let the hype fool you into thinking it’s just a bigger iphone, it kind of is but it kicks the phones ass with it’s eyes close.  This bitch is several times bigger and 60% faster.  Browsing the web on your cellphone after using this is some caveman shit. This device will make most new phones look like flip phones after the smart phones came out.

Missing I would like to see:

• OS sandbox to install software outside of the app store.
• Lower the owning cost, from the $30 per month for 3G to $9-$15 books, $5-$15 apps, $2 comics, $3-$15 games.  It’s setup to make you buy everything from the overpriced iTunes Store.
• I would greatly like a webcam
• get rid of the glare and fingerprints, I mean we can put a man on the moon but we ain’t got fingerprint proof screens yet.
• I need a way to program and write software on it.

I’m not done yet, only had it for a day…might change my mind on some things.

E-40 is $16 on itunes and $8 on Amazon…

 

Internet Browsing is so pretty on the iPad.

And there is a bunch of news apps for the news junkies.

Excellent E-Reader

And tons of apps for whatever you like…

Hyenas Will Take Anything

Except for the aardwolf, all living hyena species are hunters and scavengers.

Scavenger - an organism that typically feeds on refuse or carrion.  Basically, animals that eat dead animals that they did not kill themselves or a person who collects things discarded by others

A Predator - One that victimizes, plunders, or destroys, especially for one's own gain.

Would you consider yourself a Hyena?  Simple enough question.  There are Hyena’s among us. We don’t notice because they fit into our ecosystem, they play a role.

Who am I calling hyenas?  People who make a habit out of predatorily scavenging others.  It happen in every aspects of life.  Take style for example, if you not creating, you’re borrowing.  Your “style” or “swag” consist of the remains of others.  I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, please remember that.  But if you are seeing someone else with it and thinking you can rock it then you are scavenging.  Maybe you don’t take everything and only use bits and pieces to make your own unique flavor but the fact still remains you are not really the creator, you are modifying.  It’s like a music producer who samples music, while it’s nice and all but you should never be compared to Mozart.

Another example of predatory scavenging is intellectual properties and ideas.  Hyenas are the people who take and run with other people’s ideas without notice.  They are good a doing what someone else has already done.  Not always bad thing, because things can be improved upon.  But can be illegal in business.  It’s just the nature of those animals.  They see something that someone else has or is doing and want it.  We all know people like that or we ourselves may be like.  Usually subconsciously of course.  It’s nice having followers sometimes but it’s extremely annoying when credit isn’t always given.  No one works for free all the time.  Very common preying ground is the work place.  And another often overlooked place is your circle of friends.  For example, you mention to friend you want to go Mexico, a dream of yours and then later the friend comes subliminally bragging that they have trip to Mexico, clearly booked after talking to you and doesn’t include you.  They don’t mean harm they are just doing what comes natural to them.  Or you introduce someone to an activity like crossbow shooting, you bring them along and the next thing you know they claimed it as their own thing, you don’t get invites when they go out and when side by side you are never given credit for getting them started.  Also say they noticed you changed your place up, maybe brought something new, or started using a new technology then suddenly you notice they doing the same thing you doing – but this is what makes them hyenas, not just the copying, they do it like it was all them – no thought of they are not original and taking from another’s shine.  That’s the behavior. They don’t ask, inform, not a small instant message, or nothing.  Suddenly they doing the same thing you doing, but with their own name on it.

Everyone has different personalities.  Some are invertors, ground breakers, risk takers; while others are good at adopting and taking.  There is nothing wrong with sharing, that’s why I said it’s not a bad thing.  If something is good it should be shared and enjoyed.  But hyenas should never be compared to gazelles or lions because they are predatory opportunist and thus not the same.

“Biters, remember where you heard it first”

Pet Peeve #9: What You Don’t Like

We all heard the saying opinions are like assholes, we all have one.  But let me add like assholes, if I don’t ask, I don’t care about your asshole.  Don’t care if it’s clean or dirty, don’t care if it’s tight or loose, just don’t care.  Every so often someone feels the need to say “My asshole itches.” Did I ask???  Was that need to know info???  Do you really need me to tell you to wash your ass, you dirty bastard?  What did you think I was going to say?  You must wanted some reaction.

If I ask it’s because I want to hear.  But probing your feelings without asking is dangerous with a person like me for the simple fact that I judge (whether it’s good or bad is here nor there, it’s just a fact) and will tell you.  Now if you are sensitive that you need the attention to say something, you are at risk of getting your sensitive ass hurt.  Rarely do people come to me for only compassion, not that I don’t have it, but I see through neediness and question almost everything.

If I’m not giving you a Christmas present, why do you feel the need to tell me you don’t celebrate Christmas??? If we are not eating together, I am I suppose to care you don’t eat meat?  I don’t have a evil plan in my mind to wait 3 months and stick a bumblebee on your allergic ass.

What YOU can’t do, and don’t like.  Sounds like personal problems to me.  You are limited and try to limit me.  Personal problems are just that, personal and yours.  Unless it’s used to explain something relevant, why do people feel the need to volunteer polarizing information?  Do they want me to look up to them or what, I don’t know?  Not so subliminal brags.  A lot of the time for that very reason I would question their reasoning and find holes in their logic or belief, mostly out spite and not really because I care but so because I don’t care, if that makes sense…

My absolutely most hated look at my asshole information, I don’t eat seafood.  Are you allergic? No.  Everyone know it either goes good or bad with me after that point.  And good is ending the conversation right there.  FYI no one yet, that is not allergic, has come up with a good rational reason to swear off the millions of different foods that are available from the sea.

Simple Pleasure #4: My Niece Sydney

Since the moment she enter this bright world I have been captivated with her. I really don't have words to express the emotions and wonder of watching a child grow before my very eyes. Prime example is last Sunday I sat her on the table for her to crawl. But she can not crawl yet, just scoot. Maybe it's the proud uncle in me that trying to get her to develop quickly, but I'm ready for her to be crawling and walking. Anyway I sit her on all fours and place her teething toy in front of her just out of reach. She leans forward and tries to grab the toy with her mouth, it looks amusing to me. You can tell she wants the toy and is unsure of her balance and weight so she leans forward to try to get it. I pick her up and we move on to other things.  Later, I place her on table again, same situation.  This time she leans one arm and reaches out with the other to grab the toy!  I’m ecstatic even though only I know what was going on.  Look at the learning that happening right be for my very eyes.  You know what it is happens a lot as I consciously pay attention to it and I love it so much.  To me the potential is limitless, but of course as we get older and our body stops growing as fast the brain doesn’t continue you to grow connections it is kind of sad to know that information about aging.  But in the mean time I see hope and potential in the freshness of her.

 

Another thing I love about the baby is finding common traits, how she is similar to family members, not just in looks. She has a lot of my brother and mother in her.  The energy, short attention span, and talkativeness are apparent very earlier especially at a higher level I haven’t seen in her cousins.  There is no denying the blood in this child.

Uncle Wee Wee Love You!

Twitter Beef: Al Roker vs Will Wash

What happened?

Al Roker had a problem with something I tweeted.

What do you mean?

I did a normal Will Wash tweet and the dude seen it and felt the need to response.

What did you say?

“Al Roker is the worst #thatsallthanks”

Why?

Because I was forced to watch the Today Show and I felt like killing myself.

What did he say?

Really I don’t know, I didn’t understand it.  Some kind of play on my words.  Probably a joke, but we all know he ain’t funny.  But you know, I’m from DC.  We don’t get star struck, so I carried him.

Was it really Al Roker?

Dunno for sure but it came from his Twitter account.  He was verified.

Why was you picking on him?

I wasn’t.  It was like an under the breath comment.  Who told him to get all sensitive?  Unless he knows it true!
