> me and like 10 hoes <

Yeah. Me duele la cabeza tambien, pero que lindo. Y si…lo que escuchas es ‘numa numa’ al final. Pon atencion a su cinturon. Jeje.

My intentions to go to more concerts will be aided by this nice little program.

Bonde Do Role - Gasolina (Radioclit Remix)
The fact that you get to say a naughty word just by reading the song name is game in my book. I’ve been really into this sexy dance genre for a while, sometimes, even at night…(I listen to it). She don’t tell. So it starts of slow in the beginningThe fact that is in portuguese makes it just the slightest more sessy, because I can barely understand it. Baile always sounds like children throwing tantrums for some reason. But before this hawt trend ends, I would love to make my ways to some back alley in Rio, sweat and other liquids all over the walls, people with little clothing on pretending to keep it stricktly platonic. I should take my parents. I present to you two clips from MTV Brasil. See here and here. Shiteous quality, but I’m just here for the beats.

Juvelen - Of Course I Remember
You wont find this song on no Hype Machine. Dats wassup. Yeah I’m bragging 1.2.3. get over it. This is a smoothen fucken grooven slow jammer. His voice is so fragile but its unique. Juvelen has a nice EP out on Klicktrack. I posted his first single Hanna a while back. Not feeling this song as much as the others, but it is the most obvious choice for a single. See Discobelle for some other tracks.

Girl: Isn’t Rumsfeld gay? I mean, isn’t he, like, a known closet queen?
Queer: I don’t… Is he? Is my ‘dar off?
Girl: I think so.
Queer: No, I don’t. I can’t imagine any gay man would be self-hating enough to fuck Donald Rumsfeld.
Girl: Oh, please. Gay men have been self-hating enough to kill other gay men.
Queer: Yeah, but killing someone and fucking Rumsfeld are two very different things.

Even if one counts our dead in Iraq and Afghanistan as casualties of the war against terrorism, which brings us to about 6,500, we should remember that roughly the same number of Americans die every two months in automobile accidents. Of course, the 9/11 attacks also conjured up the possibility of far deadlier attacks to come. But then, we were hardly ignorant of these threats before, as a glance at just about any thriller from the 1990s will testify. And despite the even more nightmarish fantasies of the post-9/11 era (e.g. the TV show “24’s” nuclear attack on Los Angeles), Islamist terrorists have not come close to deploying weapons other than knives, guns and conventional explosives. A war it may be, but does it really deserve comparison to World War II and its 50 million dead? Not every adversary is an apocalyptic threat. So why has there been such an overreaction? Unfortunately, the commentators who detect one have generally explained it in a tired, predictably ideological way: calling the United States a uniquely paranoid aggressor that always overreacts to provocation.

A little quote from an excellent LA times article on 9/11. Read the rest here if you are interested.

Tickle:
1 to excite or stir up agreeably
2 to provoke to laughter or merriment
3 to touch lightly so as to excite the surface nerves and cause uneasiness, laughter, or spasmodic movements

Regina Spektor - Chelsea Hotel
Rufus Wainwright - Chelsea Hotel
Some Leonard Cohen covers here. Quality is off on the Regina one. I prefer the Rufus number and hearing him say ‘getting head’ is better. Remember: we are ugly but we have the music. Gosh they both happen to be @ Coachella. Regina is cheesy. Rufus is high on my list. I can’t begin to express my lust to see him (a)live. He is a true craftsman of art.

An Atheist fights God…FROM HIS BASEMENT!!! Dun, dun, dun. Shocking developement today in the internets. The Blasphemy Challenge is a good thing and it would be a better thing for you to read this. I recommend Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins as well. They are on the youtube and have bestselling books. Speaking of the youtube I saw this headline today: YouTube Users Watch Less TV, Resist Ads. Awesome stuff, I love how our generation is changing norms.

Three things I am really passionate about in this moment are (in no particular order):
1.) No God
2.) Climate Change
3.) Cryptozoology
Oh and music can come too

girlfriend, i really miss you, don't go
Oaxaca. De cara a la nacion. Well some chica had a bolsa today in class with an street address to some store on Calle 5 de Mayo #402. I vaguely remember where that is. But the picture above is quite moving. Street art in Oaxaca is quite famous and this is one of them. If you can read the words, good fer you.

This song is beautiful.

You didn’t just switch teams, you left the game

Filed under: Regular Posts — Ben @ 11:05 am

What a thrilling weekend! Yeah! Friday I woke up at noon and slept through my first, and only, class of the day. Missed work too. Oh wells, I deserved some extra sleep. Damn insomnia gave me a hard time last week for no apparent reason. Figures. Friday was a romantic evening spent with my boo. We had a chill night. Went to the Beaver and played some air hockey. I won both games, obviously. I think she just batted her eyes at me. Had a drink together and then headed back to my pad and
watched TITANIC!!! Don’t even start with the jealousy. I don’t have time for it. Then we fell asleep listening to the soundtrack. Hardcore motherfuckers. Woke up midday and went and made a killer breakfast and listened to some new Shins. I haven’t listened to an entire album in a long time. As I was reminded this weekend, I get really neurotic and forward-button happy. It’s just my thing. Detailed my apartment and washed clothes in the apt and then drove down to Seattle. I wankered out and bought ciggies on the way down. Such a failure. I’m still trying though…chugachugachuga.

s

Met up with Josh at his place and got “ready.” I had a very euphoric night to say the least. We drove up to Chop Suey and entered ‘da club.’ Hot damn that is a sexy place. There was a big dragon on the ceiling. And balls that lit up and shit. Girl Talk didn’t come on till 12:30, so we got semi-bored waiting for almost 3 hours, so we drove back to the U District and had some more fun time and raced back just in time for the second act. They were quite the funky timerz with a slice of latin bump bump. Got us going for a bit. Girl Talk was a very unique experiencia. I don’t do this often so it was a treat. Hipsters galore, but in a good way. Laptop and all, GT came out, set up a bit. Then left and came back with a costume change. Total player. Played for an hour and a half approx. Did some crowd surfing and decent crowd interaction. Josh’s head was shoved into the microphone for screaming and I got to grind all up on/in his rear. Oh. We made it to the stage towards the end and got his juices all over us. He took his sweats off and I walked out of the club with them. Kind of unsanitary and creepy stalkerish, but its a fun souvenier I suppose. Highlights was hearing the Rick Ross ‘Hustlin’ laid over some Daft Punk. Which you can hear after about thirty second in this mofo video. Some ‘Bossy,’ ‘Ghetto Superstar’ and Kansas were neat as well. Can’t wait to see him and his sex again at Coachella. Had breakfast in Bellevue with Mickey and headed back to Bham to resume the studies. Picked Mel up at work. She now works the ValVillage on Meridian and I got some sweet deals there. 50% off is pretty nice. Four belts, three shorts, 6 or 7 shirts and some art supplies. Golden.

¡Monday morning! ¡I bealive that there is something for everyone in this picture! ¡Jaja, Pipi!

This week my goals are…
1.) get shit done to the max
2.) meet with both advisors
3.) meet with internship woman
4.) fuck hella bitches! I really really really really REALLY really really love me some white girls.

Wow Bellingham. Way to pull in some prime acts. I’ve seen Los Amigos Invisibles and Lyrics Born, both last year at Coachella. Pretty tubular. I have a lot on my plate currently. Freaking out a tad. My sleep schedule is really out of line and is affecting my thinking and all. Need to work on that. Hmmm. I deactivated my facebook account today. Myspace might follow soon. It is pointless. I don’t actually really use it for communication purposes and if I really want to speak with that person, I have email or my celly. It guess those are two less things to check everyday and I can focus more on blogging!

This shit is cool. It is a new energy saving google that is black. Really its just a blank search page, but its different

And this video, yeah its ice skating but its the Pipettes. And the clapping at the end is fun. And the chica be so hot even I’d hit that. Well maybe. Thx P4K!

And more skating! Don’t forget the skating cowboys. Awfully cheesy but it good for a giggle.

Madvillain - Great Day (Instrumental)

Pure radiant brilliance now in powder form!!! Shit hits the fan at about 1:30.

Oh hey guys! Hows it going?
Here we are, another day, another hour. It’s thursday night and I’m missing out on 80s night yet again. This whole “I’m trying to get a 4.0 every quarter until I graduate because I need to get into a decent grad school or my adult life will SUCK” thing is getting old. Two classes I’m taking right now are really depressing and I have been really pessimistic lately as well. Is it sad I just looked up how to spell pessimistic? Maybe. Hey remember Clarissa Explains It All? Yeah, we should watch it sometime together. But yeah, I leave my classes frowning. Latin America history. Our country is mean. Like serial rapist mean. And I’m not trying to be funny. And global warming. Our country needs to do something. And, and and….CANDY!!! Who misses Ben when he ate candy? A slight fraction of the worlds population had the pleasure of knowing me then.

WELL!!!!!! I bought my ticket for Girl Talk this weekend. Josh has a treat waiting for me too.Enjoy I will. Oh and Justice will be in Vancouver at the end of March, which might be during break, but nevertheless is rad balls. If this clip doesn’t get you excited to see Justice…you have no fun in life. In other news I bought my Coachella ticket. And Anderson Cooper is gay. Only $280.00+. And I haven’t bought the camping pass yet and not to mention the transport costs. Who would you hit?

The sun is setting later and later. OKAY YES it is only the end of January….but spring is close, eh? And I am in need of an adventure(s). I need to get my camping gear up here and get in better shape to do things.

This movie is chilling and beautifully made. Clive Owen is narsty too.

As the effects of global warming become more and more difficult to ignore, will we react by finally fashioning a global response? Or will we retreat into ever narrower andmore destructive forms of self-interest? It may seem impossible to imagine that a technologically advanced society could choose, in essence, to destroy itself, but that is what we are now in the process of doing.

This is golden. Golden Girls stars, Estelle Getty, quoted as saying “I’d like the correct the rumor that senior citizens aren’t having sex. We are. We’re just having it slower. come to think of it, thats pretty good.” Oh is it now?

MRI scans showed that he and other long-term meditators - who had completed more than 10,000 hours each - experienced a huge level of “positive emotions” in the left pre-frontal cortex of the brain, which is associated with happiness. The right-hand side, which handles negative thoughts, is suppressed. Further studies have shown that even novices who have done only a little meditation have increased levels of happiness. Thier abilities were head and shoulders above the others involved in the trials.
“The mind is malleable, our life can be greatly transformed by even a minimal change in how we manage our thoughts and perceive and interpret the world. Happiness is a skill. It requires effort and time.”

it's all about the livin it up

guess who missed the coachella presale? I did? Purdy fuckin gr8. I h8 myselves.
Yeah I did. By two hours. Well suppose the lineup is given tomorrow. Purdy excited
Not a big RATM fan…but yeah thats purdy cool.
Speaking of Coachella. If these fuckers (and maybe some of thier friends) come to Coach. So pumped. Seriously watch some a dis. And bounce.

But don’t worry kids. It’s all about the livin’ it up. These shoes make me feel like its time for RECESS!!!!!!!

This is sick. They sing to us about “A faint smell of vomit and you know that you’re soon home, I am glad that I am pretty drunk tonight that’s right…” and a lil’ bit later a fun chorus, “We’re all humming the same song…61…61″. Just like it. And I dare you to guess what region of this world it comes from?

dont forget
The rights of one are as sacred as the rights of a million.

Now! Once more, with feeling! The following two are nice.
Loney, Dear - The City, The Airport (CSS Remix)
Loney, Dear - I Am John
I like the last one the bestest. It builds up gradually and starts to chug and chug and be explosive and BOOM! The first one is chill, CSS makes it a tad tropical, and thus we enjoy.

I love your tite physique. Par lee vuuu germain! Enamored. Pretty face and pretty music.

Thank you, my dearest sweet, for saving me.
I will make you dip your head back, eyes rolling up into warmth and darkness, and say, so softly, “Ahhhhhh….”

Well Well. We meet again.

Got all wired after my first day of actually dancing in dance class. It was all giggles and smiles. Some partner stuff, we used the bars and then jumping and skipping all over. Wish I was in hip-hop again, but this’ll do for a bit.
Dance 2.0.1 >>> Kelis - Bossy (Braxe and Falk providing us with bangers and mash again)
Dance 2.0.2 >>> Kelis - Bossy (Sebastian is a crab)
Okay I guess technically this song is old…but these remixes be fresch!

Word up. Aight y’all here’s how its gone be. Midway throught the week I finally get through to a weekend update. Whent down to Seattle with the roomie early friday. Stayed downtown with the parents and woody. Went in the hot tub with mom and lot and walked woody through the snowy streets and filtered through my mp3s. Bought some expensive clothes at Ian again. I can’t not buy something everytime I go in. Plus all the boys are adorable and like to talk. Went out hardcore saturday night and broke my whole “I’m not drinking anymore because I get into too much trouble and almost die” phase. But gotta say, muy worth it. Hit up the R Place which I heard is sadly closing. Did the pole and made out hardcore with some bitch. Last call and we headed to that gross place and I made out hardcore with someone else. I would tell a funny story here, Laurens too, but I would like to protect my personal privacy. Inquire within si quieres saber mas. Saw lauren for the first time since highschool and she looked so gorgeous. All blonde and skinny and making resemblence of the Olsen twins. We saw Bodies too. Played pool and darts with Emily and Joe in the U Disctrict sunday and headed home monday and did some Bday stuff with the other emily. 22. We are getting old. Almost to our midtwenties. Fuck that. Word out.

Another day. Another statistic. Someone from Redmond that I knew died in Irak. So sad. He was in my patrol in boy scouts. I would say I knew him quite well for a time period in high school. He was a very nice kid and I am sad he had to go in such an awful way.

10. I will not eat shark, at least in any form other than soup

9. I will cut my hair at least once during 2007

8. I will remember to eat at least once each day, unless I’m fasting, in which case I’ll remember not to eat

7. I will quack like a duck at least once each day (only applies to those days where I wake up as a duck)

6. If I see another UFO or am abducted, I will keep it to myself instead of being ridiculed again on national TV

5. If a dog bites me, I will not bite it back unless it is smaller than me and has short hair that will not get caught in my teeth

4. If I ever receive it, I will trade in the AK-47 I was offered by an Afghani vigilante via e-mail for a Blendtec blender (or a Jack Lalanne juicer, whichever the local pawn shop has in-stock at the time)

3. I will not use any words I don’t understand to sound smart unless they are from dead languages (or French) where nobody could possibly be offended by my blatant misuse

2. I will not eat pumpkin pie with whipped cream while taking a shower … if the craving persists, I’ll take two showers and eat each separately

1. If I see a monkey for sale, I will not buy it. Even if it is really really affordable and offers to pay his own way when hitting the local hot spots

This restaurant had windows overlooking the outdoor terrace of the hotel pool. But the windows were one-way glass. A pair of gorgeous, sunbathing European women by the pool did not realize this, and they began admiring themselves in what they thought were harmless mirror. This came as a delight to the American businessman sitting at a table next to the windows. The women came toward the glass until they were no more than 2 feet away from his widening eyes. As the gals leaned in toward him and peeled their bikini tops back from their cleavage to check for tan lines, the man literally choked on his glass of water and performed a perfect spit take. It was like a Benny Hill episode come to life. And it was hilarious to everyone in the restaurant who saw it … save for the nearby pair of Muslim women covered in black from scalps to shoe tops. OK, it was a tad awkward, but it was still no big deal—and that’s the idea.
My next vacation I will be staying here.
