The war on baggy trousers! | Article (BBC)

Oh come on dudes. We know you hate us hip hop heads, but this is a bit much.

I now definately have a reason to live until the end of June. Looks like I'm going to have a hard time if I decide to visit Delcambre, Louisiana anytime soon. I mean, what ever happened to freedom of expression? DAMMIT. We'd better not get any of this sort of crap over here in England. I SHALL FIGHT FOR MY RIGHT TO WEAR TROUSERS THAT ARE AT LEAST 3 SIZES TOO BIG. BWHA.
Okay, granted I usually don't wear them so low that you can see my undies but still!
WATCH OUT AMERICA! HIP HOP IS BECOMING TERRORISM!

Snakey didn't see THAT coming! | Article (BBC)

Python vs. Alligator. This must have been a fearsome battle to say the least. Looks like the snakes are tired of these motherfuckin' gators at the top of this motherfuckin' food chain!
Now, I know that big snakes can eat big... "things" but this guy was obviously trying to be the cool cat in the swamp, probably showing off for some hot python girl. I mean come on, you don't fuck with the gators. This punk obviously hasn't watched enough Steve Irwin documentaries.
Anways it looked like the snake had got the better of Mr. Jaws for a second. There he was, having successfully swallowed the viscious gator, about to digest the poor bastard and then run home to tell all the chicks how hardcore he was, when suddenly there's a scritch-scratching on the inside of his stomach and... KAPOW.
SNAKEY BOY DIDN'T KNOW THAT ALLIGATOR HAD A TRICK UP HIS SLEEVE!!!
Either that or Snappy had watched Alien too many times and thought the part where baby alien busts out of that dude's stomach was the shit, and wanted to do it himself. He would have succeeded as well, except that he was apparently already too digested by that time that he couldn't make the final hurdle. Better luck next time, buddy.

If anyone lives in Florida there's some abstract art lying around the swamps.

Peace out,

If you're going to chop of your penis, this is the way to do it. | Article (The Sun)

So I woke up this morning, hungry as per usual and dragged myself out of bed into the kitchen to enjoy a nice cup of tea and a couple of slices of toast, when EGADS! I sit myslef down at the table to break fast and what's on the front page of the newspaper? "DEEP PAIN PIZZA! - Maniac cuts off his manhood in crowded pizza restaurant!"
I suddenly found myself a tad less hungry than I had been five seconds previously. What a lovely set of thoughts to have buzzing around my head all day!

But seriously, what the HELL? It must have been complete chaos in that restaurant. Hoards of screaming customers sprayed with blood, cockless psychopath on a table wielding a knife and screaming hysterically, cops trying to restrain him, more cops frantically searching for a detached penis...

Wish I had been there. Could have taken a few photos and submitted them to "artistic nude"

Peace out,

Aloha to all. So what's going on? I wish I was a lot more active, uploading more comics, restarting ~IllustrateThis etc etc... This list is epic. But as anyone with half a brain cell should know, real life comes first. If you die in real life, your Neopets will also die and you won't be able to use the glomp emoticon on replies to your Danny Phantom fanart. TRAGEDY!

Long story short - I have exams coming up and nearly all my free time is being eaten up by sketchbook filling and photo-developing and note-revising and so on... I have a whole bunch of things I want to get on with for just me, but these will have to wait.

OK, so the chances of me not getting on with ANY of my own projects between now and the summer is slim, so you I'll hopefully get a few LTDD's up soonish.

Rant over, onto more lighthearted journal content.

Elevators celebrate their 150th anniversary. | Article

I love lifts. I don't know why but... I just do. Happy 150th to all the lifts that have taken me up, down and even underground all over the world over the past 17 years. I admire the way you bring complete strangers into near-intimate proximity and evoke weird quirks in body human language for my viewing pleasure. I love the way some of you have epic amounts of buttons, sometimes bright and shiny, sometimes with little lights... I love the the music you play when you are in some posh hotel somewhere, with carpeted floor to match that of the building.

But mostly I love the way that you seem to have been made with people like me in mind - people that are just too lazy to take the stairs. If only you could take me everywhere instead of just up and down tall buildings.

Be sure to wish an elevator near you a happy 150th anniversary. And then push some buttons and annoy some people.

Peace out,
[ loopz ]

(For those who are looking cock-eyed at this journal and wondering how I jumped from four to nine, read the interlude.)

Well people, looks like 2007 is going to take the music industry even lower...

The League of Outstandingly Popular Whores is boosting its ranks! | Video

Well that's what I call them anyways.
The Pussycat Dolls (famous for being the most widely known group of professional strippers, frequent use of the "rent-a-rapper" service and largest number of band members that don't actually contribute musically to the group) are looking for a new member - through a reality TV show no less.
I guess this is like "the oppertunity of a lifetime" for all those ditzy chicks out there who like to wear as few clothes as possible on any given occasion and sing along to rap songs with lyrics that are degrading to women because they are that clueless, but dear lord does this group REALLY need an extra member? There's about 50 of them already, and only one actually sings!
Well, I propose a simple solution to the problem. These women are obviously witches, and LOOK - they're luring in innocent human beings to join their legion of darkness!
But in the past witches have been burned at the stake and that seemed like a wuick and effective way to rid us of them, so everyone grab your pitchforks and flaming torches! WE'RE GOING WITCHHUNTING!

Girls Aloud and Sugababes rape and crucify a Run DMC classic | Music Video

Oh GOD is there NOTHING sacred anymore? Another bunch of talentless rich females have destroyed the classic Run DMC & Aerosmith track "Walk This Way."
The only thing that makes me not want to spoon their eyes out is tha it's for charity, and it would make me look bad if I did. At least the kids in need are going to get money from the insane popularity this song will surely get >__<

Peace out,

Well nothing intersting to report this time (hence interlude), through I thouht I'd let you all know that through no doing of mine deviantART has managed to delete all of my journals past May 8th, which is a pain in the ass but what ya gonna do eh? -_-"
I guess sometimes stuff screws up for no apparent reason. Anyways, journals five, six, seven and eight are gone for good and never coming back.

On a lighter note I hope those of you that were able to see the lunar eclipse on the 3rd got to - it was pretty damn awesome.

dA Zine is on indefinate hold due to technical shizzle, so I'll try sorting out more Buttonz stuff for my account, as it's been a while since I uploaded anything.

Peace out,

Monsters living among us | Forum thread

I pray to whatever greater being there may be in this world that these two go through an eternity of pain and suffering in whatever hell they will be going to.

In the mean time, they should have recieved life sentences in solitary confinement. 10 or 11 years is just not justified here. Not at all. They don't seem to have a shred of remorse or shame for what they've done. It disgusts me.

But, on a positive note it is relieving to know that the little girl is recovering safe from any more pain. I expect she will have scars for life in more ways than one.
