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.

the computer said to me not to smile so that is my trying not to smile massively stupid scowl look for the how old you will be in 50 years photo that i look ridiculously ug-city in so i am not bothering to post it because i do not agree at all with the science centre’s predictions of how my face will be aging.

in other news, it snowed last nite/early morning today and i woke up about 6 20 am and thought of a bunch of stuff to keep my mind occupied ’til maybe 9am after i was like FUCK THIS and had a bit of a cigarette and some oj and it woke up the cat and then it woke up fil because the cat purrs like a lawnmower and sits on my face until you feed him or put him in the bathroom for a time-out.

i called my mum last nite to ask her what she wanted for xmas and she said body shop stuff that’s all she wants and i said don’t you want something substantial that you can keep or something and remember like how i buy everyone kitschy stuff that they don’t need that just sits around collecting dust and when visitors come over they are like woah totally COOL and useless!

being practical, well, buying practically is sooooooooooo stressful and at this point in my life i just can’t deal with stress, well, not that i can’t deal with it, i just totally refuse to deal with that shit altogether unless i am playing burnout on xbox and i have to cause a huge car accident to make lots of car accident money, this is the only stress i will allow for the time being oh and helping people when they email me with advice on life like i invented living.

blep.

fil tripped me yesterday when the centre was closing and it was fucking hilarious so i couldn’t get too mad over it, dammit. i flew and my purse flew even further and fil is lucky that it was on a carpetted floor. focker.

so everyone i am moving back to toronto, the land of snobportunity, social anxiety, and colorful scarves.

i can’t wait to be broke over there and boss around ward and finally allow myself to be startrek-washed but only because I am choosing the ikea-shit.

and all of it.

Dear Raymi

I live next to two sorrorities.

Sometimes they get high and yell random shit at the top of the parking lot by

me. I think it’s terrible, they always say just the wrong thing. The

frassholes are just as bad. I delegate the whole greek system into frasshole

and sorrostitute… it’s just my thing I guess. Anyways

These guys wear their baseball/trucker hats at the most asinine angles, like

between 45 degrees and 10 degrees. They come into my chinese resturant (where

I work as the token white guy) and all I can think is “Look fucker, I know you

want to sound serious while ordering food or about drinking beer and banging

girls, but with your hat like that you might as well be wearing clown make-up.”

Another thing is their thing for the popped collar. I mean honestly, everyone

who has done that is now washed up and sad about their lives. This is

evidenced in Huey Lewis, the News, and these bastards’ future.

Tonight we got drunk and laughed and listened to neutral

milk hotel and hoped that I got a job in new york city, because I need to be

in a big place and go to bars and pretend I’m irish. It’s a continuation of

an old adventure.

Nevertheless this is what I see every couple days. If

you’ll excuse me I’m gonna go write a term paper because I’m not very bright

and think writing something when I’m drunk is a good idea
