ugh

i was just searching the web for something and ran into a website that carries fucking nazi news network.

no, like real nazis. the good ol' american kind. i think nearly every third word i saw before i managed to navigate away from the site was "jew".

i'm going to get some coffee to get this taste out of my mouth, then watch tonari no totoro and then bound to get those images out of my head before i'm forced to go and "curb" some skinhead bitches.

nota bene: link to interactive map of hate groups active in the us and in massachusetts. in case you feel motivated to do something useful.

music edification

today i went out to get my meds. it were hard for me. sometimes it's still hard to do normal things (like take a bus). there was a reason, some meds i'm on make me feel like crap. also they make me crave... something. i dunno what it is, it's driving me crazy. but to reward me for being brave, i stopped and picked up three CDs.

it might seem extreme but i haven't bought music in ages and they were on sale.

and now i'm just in musical orgasm - got a perfect circle's new cover album, mos def's new album & the soundtrack to that movie about new jersey.

man, that mos def just knows how to throw down, don't he? there's a picture of him inside dressed in blackface, and his lyrics are just as confrontational - and brilliant. i bin listening to it all evening long.

a perfect circle is dark evilness, and this album is all about war and peace. hearing them perform john lennon's "imagine" is just as wicked as their take on led zeppelin's "when the levee breaks". tool was great, a perfect circle just carries on that tradition.

remember that album? my favourite tool song of all time has to be "prison sex". that shit is just hardcore - and you can sing along.

word. that's the word for the evening: word.

hedging it all

please note on your maps and atlases that i now officially reside in the united states of evangelicals. our ruling party? the ameritaliban. quick, veil your women! (we are trying to secede... but canuckistan won't have us.)

ah, boston. i love being an american silesian peceneg-off-rez eastern cherokee-dubliner scots-irish. even my ethnic origins are each hedged. i can't just be german: nope, my matri-nana's family are ethnic turks who fled before jingghiz qaghaan in the early middle ages and are dialectal german speakers from what is modern poland and the czech republic. my mom's dad is eastern cherokee, but off-rez from kentucky. and my 'irish' side were anglicised scots-speaking protestant kiss-royal in the pale. *sigh* all these names are so confusing innit.
