people who don’t like cats are assholes and they’re the same people who think dogs are smarter – FUCK!

WHAT PLANET ARE YOU FROM!?

cats are better because they don’t make loud barking sounds that make you snap your head around because you are all startled and your heart kind of stops and then after the startled-feeling goes away you then have complete anger and annoyance and have to leave the room altogether because there is a dog and it is barking all over the place and then the cat looks at you and says don’t worry dood i’ll take care of it so he goes over to the dog and punches him with his little cat fist and the dog goes oh ok sorry guy and starts licking his balls and other dog-things until you have to let him out to crap in your backyard while the cat is sitting politely in his little box reading the newspaper taking a doo doo and gracefully covers it all up for you to scoop it out later when you feel like it.

and then barky mcbark bark is all look at me look at me i am a dog bark bark yip and slams into the diningroom table and destroys everything pretty what is your house while kitty larue is telling you to fuck off with his eyes because he has this thing called pride something that dogfuck lacks because dogs are not as cool as cats.

don’t get me wrong i do love dogs i just prefer cats because i am crazy as a loon and bitches like me who are lazy assholes opt for low-maintenance snotty animals who are needy sometimes while completely invisible other times and then when you start crying they come sit on your head and sniff your stupid eyes and nose and feel bad for you and then when you are done using the cat for having your emotional needs met you can go on a bender for a few days, come back and cat is like yo dude WHAT’S UP i didn’t notice you left but the dog is all hysterical, complete wreck of a creature while you were away all of your house is messed and smelly and you are like, I. HATE. MY. LIFE.

the way i see it, if you want a fuckin’ kid, give birth.

people who are manic and don’t know it make me sad

people who are manic and know it make me glad

and amused

anyhow

i sort of had something prepared to type about and now it is gone

i feel like i have written about everything i could have possibly written about or can get away with

something was on the tv last nite before i passed out and i thought must blog about that asshole and so i fell asleep and forgot about it altogether and so here i am.

oh right now i remember what it was, and it was something i watched EARLY this morning and then fell asleep again for a little while and that’s how it disappeared from my brain.

ok so this rant is about eminem and how fucking annoying i think he is and i am sure everyone will agree with me on this – his latest video i saw for the first time this morning (the one where he goes UH RUH RUH RU RU like he is suppose to be pee wee herman or something?) because i don’t really pay attention to garbage television as much as i use to these days because i am very busy talking to cats and sitting in stairwells smoking cigarettes thinking about what cool is….

anyway, what’s up with this fucking honky and why is he still getting away with impersonating other celebs, failed, 15 minutes of fame or not, making a total mockery of the 90’s and putting that crap in music videos over and over and over again? and even calling it a music video HOLY SHIT and that song is so incredibly tacky and sounds like every other song before it and people will say hey shut up raymi i like that song!

and i say

no you shut up

the only reason you like that song is because you hear it all the time in your stupid friend’s car when you are smoking a fatty to whoever’s loser house it is you are on your way over to next and ps if i was mc hammer and pee wee herman i would tagteam eminem and make him eat his poseur doo-rag.

This is the assignment as I gave it to them. I have already had some

interesting responses — they all seems quite excited by you. Love or

hate they do seem excited. I suppose it would make more sense to you

if you knew the reading … but meh. I thought about the idea after I

wrote to you about proving marketability through traffic , so I wanted

to see how much traffic I could generate — not much I suppose, unless

the whole class gets in on the act (there are 340 first year cultural

studies students). “Step Back” is a term we use in my classes to try

to represent the idea of a meta-cognitive sort of thinking — asking

why, why do I think the way I do.

Thinking about their thinking —

It is a tough thing for many of them to grasp, but they are catching

on. Already some of them are beginning to understand that things like

compassion and tolerance requires that they “Know Thyself”.

Okay,

Here is the assignment. Go to www.raymitheminx.blogspot.com. Raymi

is a bit of an internet phenomenon. The task is to take a look at her

site (Warning: some nudity, some foul language some odd stuff) and try

to think about it in terms of Internet memes and the reading on

Niagara Falls.

What makes a site? (like Niagara or Raymi) Write me a little blurble on Raymi.

Now the fun part – after you have read as much as you can handle, (or

have read it all) and written your thoughts down, ask at least one

other person you know to look at the site and see if they can figure

out why Raymi is so compelling to so many in the blogshpere. A quick

email will do.

Include their response in your journal. She is not

universally loved, in fact some comments are vitriolic. ( I will email

you a few random internet grabs) It might be very interesting to see

how three or four people react to Raymi… and then “Step Back” and see

if you can understand why those people react the way they do. What

can we learn about cultural studies, about ourselves, what about

private and public space, what about the projection of identity or why

people react so strongly? Or anything that comes to mind. This is

extra work, do not get stressed. Right now, she has not archived the

month of November – but time is probably of the essence. As of

today, she has not done anything extraordinarily offensive, but I

cannot take responsibility if she decides she is going to become a

porn star or post anti-Semitic comments in the future.

Here is the quotation from Karen Dubinsky that I thought had

relevance to my blog idea. “…[T]he question of how certain sites

become designated as popular places to visit, as well as of how

particular places become invested with specific qualities” . . . .

Places are more than simple locations; the spatial is also socially

constructed, and places can mean different things at different times

(Coursepack 108)

A Google search for Raymi turns up a rather impressive 23 500 hits.

She receives approximately 14 000 hits a month…

Good Luck

right now i am showing off my fraudness being cute in the library with my backpack poseuing as a student and acting like i do not have a drinking problem and acute fascinating sadness and tomorrow i have a head-doctor’s appointment.

i feel pretty stressed these days and miserable.

miserable because i am broke and broke because i drink and i drink because i am sad and i have come to terms with this unhappiness ie fully confronted and i am aware of my problems/issues with the world at large i just don’t have the courage to change them.

it’s not a matter of courage, really, it is more of a disturbing laziness.

i have to change the way i look at the world and the matter in which i deal with things, people, and stop waiting for life to happen to me and find a publisher and explain that cuteness sells, and depression is marketable, when you sprinkle it with humour and drawings of cats that can talk.
