N.W.A – Straight Outta Compton

You are now about to witness the strength of street knowledge

Verse One: Ice Cube

Straight outta Compton crazy motherfucker named Ice Cube
From the gang called Niggaz With Attitudes
When I’m called off I got a sawed off
Squeeze the trigger and bodies are hauled off
You too boy if ya fuck with me
The police are gonna hafta come and get me
Off yo ass that’s how I’m goin out
For the punk motherfuckers that’s showin out
Niggaz start to mumble, they wanna rumble
Mix em and cook em in a pot like gumbo
Goin off on a motherfucker like that
with a gat that’s pointed at yo ass
So give it up smooth
Ain’t no tellin when I’m down for a jack move
Here’s a murder rap to keep yo dancin
with a crime record like Charles Manson
AK-47 is the tool
Don’t make me act the motherfuckin fool
Me you can go toe to toe, no maybe
I’m knockin niggaz out tha box, daily
yo weekly, monthly and yearly
until them dumb motherfuckers see clearly
that I’m down with the capital C-P-T
Boy you can’t fuck with me
So when I’m in your neighborhood, you better duck
Coz Ice Cube is crazy as fuck
As I leave, believe I’m stompin
but when I come back, boy, I’m comin straight outta Compton

Chorus:

[City of Compton, City of Compton]

[Eazy E] Yo Ren
[MC Ren] Whassup?
[Eazy E] Tell em where you from!

Verse Two: MC Ren

Straight outta Compton, another crazy ass nigga
More punks I smoke, yo, my rep gets bigger
I’m a bad motherfucker and you know this
But the pussy ass niggaz don’t show this
But I don’t give a fuck, I’ma make my snaps
If not from the records, from jackin the crops
Just like burglary, the definition is ‘jackin’
And when illegally armed it’s called ‘packin’
Shoot a motherfucker in a minute
I find a good piece o’ pussy, I go up in it
So if you’re at a show in the front row
I’m a call you a bitch or dirty-ass ho
You’ll probably get mad like a bitch is supposed to
But that shows me, slut, you’re composed to
a crazy muthafucker from tha street
Attitude legit cause I’m tearin up shit
MC Ren controls the automatic
For any dumb muthafucker that starts static
Not the right hand cause I’m the hand itself
every time I pull a AK off the shelf
The security is maximum and that’s a law
R-E-N spells Ren but I’m raw
See, coz I’m the motherfuckin villain
The definition is clear, you’re the witness of a killin
that’s takin place without a clue
And once you’re on the scope, your ass is through
Look, you might take it as a trip
but a nigga like Ren is on a gangsta tip
Straight outta Compton…

Chorus:

[City of Compton, City of Compton]

[Dr. Dre] Eazy is his name and the boy is comin…

Verse Three: Eazy-E

…straight outta Compton
is a brotha that’ll smother yo’ mother
and make ya sister think I love her
Dangerous motherfucker raises hell
And if I ever get caught I make bail
See, I don’t give a fuck, that’s the problem
I see a motherfuckin cop I don’t dodge him
But I’m smart, lay low, creep a while
And when I see a punk pass, I smile
To me it’s kinda funny, the attitude showin a nigga drivin
but don’t know where the fuck he’s going, just rollin
lookin for the one they call Eazy
But here’s a flash, they never seize me
Ruthless! Never seen like a shadow in the dark
except when I unload, see I’ll get over the hesitation
and hear the scream of the one who got the last penetration
Give a little gust of wind and I’m jettin
But leave a memory no one’ll be forgettin
So what about the bitch who got shot? Fuck her!
You think I give a damn about a bitch? I ain’t a sucker!
This is the autobiography of the E, and if you ever fuck with me
You’ll get taken by a stupid dope brotha who will smother
word to the motherfucker, straight outta Compton

Chorus:

[City of Compton, City of Compton]

[Damn that shit was dope!]

Sharon Stone Calls Chinese Earthquake “Karma”

ACTOR Sharon Stone is in strife after claiming the Chinese earthquake which claimed the lives of 80,000 people was “karma”.

Stone made the not so smart statement while on the red carpet in Cannes. She was asked if she had heard about the disaster that hit China recently, and her answer was:

“Of course I have. Well you know at first I thought I’m not happy with the way the Chinese are treating the Tibetans … and I’ve been concerned with should we have the Olympics because they’re not being nice to the Dalai Lama who’s a good friend of mine.”

“And then all this earthquake and stuff happened and I thought, ‘Is that Karma, when you’re not nice and the bad things happen to you?’ “

http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,23765295-5012974,00.html

When is a natural disaster a good thing? When the afflicted country commits human rights violations — at least according to Sharon Stone. According to Stone, all those 80,000 deaths that include men, women, children and the elderly are a good thing because China had it coming over Tibet and I quote, “When you are not nice, that bad things happen to you.”

Sharon also name-drops the Dalai Lama just to make her comments sound righteous since we all know associating with the a CIA-asset makes everything people say or do acceptable in the eyes of Westerners.

Well at least Zhang Ziyi is doing something to fight off idiots like Sharon Stone and all the assorted “Free Tibet” idiots who are actually revelling at the deaths of over 80,000 apolitical Chinese citizens.

Zhang Ziyi says she’s outraged by quake ignorance

2 days ago

HONG KONG (AP) — “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” star Zhang Ziyi says she’s outraged by what she says is ignorance about the recent earthquake in China.

Zhang said in several Chinese-language blog entries over the past week that she has been busy raising money for relief efforts after the deadly quake struck in China’s central Sichuan province, which has killed more than 60,000.

But she said she was surprised to find one group she solicited on the sidelines of the Cannes Film Festival in France knew little about the disaster.

“I was as angry as a madwoman. I said, ‘Are you idiots? You are well-dressed people who look like you identify with society, but you don’t know what’s going on on planet Earth.’ It’s incredible!” Zhang said.

Zhang said she has made a pamphlet about the quake to show foreigners. She said she donated $144,000 and received a pledge of $100,000 from Wendi Deng, the Chinese-born wife of media mogul Rupert Murdoch.

Zhang’s other credits include “Memoirs of a Geisha,” “Rush Hour 2″ and “House of Flying Daggers.”

Friday Night Revelations from the Past

It was a good Friday night out watching Harold and Kumar 2, eating out in Koreatown and eventually going out for a night of karaoke again.

It has been said that things happen for a certain reason. Maybe that’s true or maybe not. Then again, what are the odds I would actually meet someone from my distant past in a place like New York City? A place with a population of over 20 million with hundreds of thousands if not millions of people traveling in and out of the city on an almost hourly basis.

The odds are incredibly low given that no other person besides me would have known the exact places, events, people and even streets from my so-called hometown. It’s a so-called hometown because I don’t identify with it in any way, shape or form even though I lived there for several years. If anyone asked in the past, I simply tell them my hometown is around Ontario and go out of my way to distance myself from French Canada.

It was interesting because the things that happened there really affected how I saw myself for several years. This is also one of the reasons why I am so interested in Asian-American issues and their goal to destroy all stereotypes associated with the White-imposed “Model Minority” view of Asians.

Whenever, I talk about my real background, people either tell me I need more “imagination”, claim I lifted my account from a disadvantaged minority (Black or Hispanic) or say I completely fabricated it. Then my so-called fellow “Model Minorities” often dismiss me as a reject because I completely deviated from their cookie-cutter Asian-American background.

I really don’t like talking about that aspect of my life. It’s unpleasant and really can bring the worst out of me. Yet, it is a crude reminder on why I am still here and moving along. It also a reason why I had to purge myself of my knowledge of the French language, abandon my Catholic upbringing from the missionaries who regularly visited the Quebecois schools (I gradually lost faith in God from my time in America), and why I went out of my way to changing myself.

I think the person I met may have been in my kindergarten class back in the day if I think she is who I think she is. I know the story was a bit outrageous at first and there was a need to find my grade school pictures on facebook, which was on record. She found me and a flood of emotions and memories started coming again. People I knew back then seemed to have turned out fine based on their present-day pictures on facebook.

The nice girl I knew still looked the same and a bit older. The asshole I knew from the past still looked like an asshole and a wannabe Eurotrash while the shy girl looked friendlier. The red-haired girl also turned out ok and I think she was the only Anglophone in that class I actually talked to. This may explain why certain names and personalities seemed to resonate when I was in America. It must be from some residual memories that still lingered from all these years.

Facebook can be interesting and some must be surprised that I was tagged on the old pictures and the girl who posted them must be wondering who the hell I am since I never went by my current name in the past. I essentially disappeared after first grade and no one from that school would have heard from me ever since. It wasn’t so much the discrimination though that actually worsened after I transferred from the Canadian school to the Quebecois school, but the fact I was living in a very broken home.

This was the reason why I was such a jerk to the girls. Chucking snowballs, pranks and assorted antics on the girls and being picked on by most of the French kids at that time. The then-father didn’t care since he just dismissed me as the person who started the fights and told the administration not to bother if anything happened to me. Failed nearly every exam and rarely got any real work done, which meant I learned nothing at that time.

Well, they can be assured that I am still living and breathing and still sane despite living in America for nearly a decade. They should know I did not drop out of high school, get hooked on drugs or alcohol and did not get some girl pregnant, or involved in organised crime (or worse). They can know that I did graduate from both high school and college with scholarships, lived in a stable home for the most part, and better off than before. Most of all, I am more content with my life that I was in years.

I honestly believe the school administration failed to intervene since they just dismissed the problem as just a difference in culture or they just didn’t have the means to deal with it at the time. The fact that nearly every organized institution from the public or the family unit has failed me in my life is one reason why I am so distrustful of institutions and more individualistic than others.

It was suggested that I talk about these things on a blog or something along those lines. There was a time when I did this during my college days, and the things I wrote were used against me by my then-friends, people professing to be pious Christians and immature girls. People used it to put me down or used the information to harm me for their own benefit.

So I will not go in depth on myself and I rather talk in person with people I trust or like for now. I think this will be enough for tonight and I look forward to a pleasant and warm Sunday.

A Poem Dedicated to the last 150 years of this planet.

By a Silent, Silent Chinese.

When we were called the Sick Man of Asia, we were the Yellow Peril.
When we are billed to be the next Superpower, we are a threat.

When we closed our doors, you smuggled drugs to our markets.
When we embraced Free Trade, you blame us for taking away your jobs.

When we were falling apart, you marched in your troops and wanted your “fair share”.
When we were putting the broken pieces together again, “Free Tibet” you scream, “it was an invasion!”

When we tried communism, you hated us for being communists
When we embraced capitalism, you hate us for being capitalists.

When we have a billion people, you said we were destroying the planet.
When we tried limiting our numbers, you said it is human rights abuse.

When we were poor, you thought we were dogs.
When we loan you cash, you blame us for your debts.

When we build our industries, you called us polluters.
When we sell you goods, you blame us for global warming.

When we buy oil, you call that exploitation and genocide.
When you fight for oil, you call that liberation and democracy.

When we were lost in chaos and rampage, you wanted rule of law for us.
When we uphold law and order against violence, you call that violating human rights.

When we were silent, you said you want us to have free speech.
When we were silent no more, you say we are brainwashed racists.

Why do you hate us so much? We asked.
“No,” you answered, “We don’t hate You.”

We don’t hate you either,
But do you understand us?

“Of course we do,” You said,
“We have NBC, CNN and BBCs…”

What do you really want from us?
Think hard first, then answer…

Because you only get so many chances,
Enough is enough, enough Hypocrisy for this one world.

We want one world, one dream, and peace on Earth.
This big blue Earth is big enough for all of Us.

The “Free Tibet” Protesters

Earlier today, some “Free Tibet” crowds and stereotypical Frenchmen decided to crash the apolitical Olympic torch relay. Many of them just protested and gave the torch runners a very hard time while a few were dumb enough to bring fire extinguishers to kill the Olympic flame.

That’s smart. Really, really smart guys. Even if you guys manage to extinguish the Olympic flame and brag all about it in the name of human rights or Tibet, nothing will change in Tibet before, during and after the fact. Actually the Olympic flame was extinguished three times during the Paris leg of the relay and they had to resort to secure backup flames to keep the momentum going.

In one instance, rioters ruthlessly attack a handicapped female torch bearer, who attempts to shield the torch with her body. This is simply disgusting, filthy, vile, and contemptible especially from the “Free Tibet” movement.

Was Tibet magically liberated as a result of these Olympic “riots” with monks, nuns, and nomads singing and dancing while clubbing random Han Chinese to death? I think not; but random Chinese people and private property are still being ravaged by pissed-off Tibetans.

It’s really one thing to protest at the Chinese government for mistreating them. I really have no objections to Tibetans doing a peaceful, non-violent protest targeted specifically at government buildings or uniformed officials. Hell, I would even back them or write to support the Tibetans if they actually went about their struggle in this manner.

But no, these kids just took the easy way out. First possibly at the covert approval of the Dalai Lama and the CIA, disgruntled Tibetans started first destroying businesses and private property in various cities, randomly attacked anyone who was either Chinese or did not “look” Tibetan, yet avoided confronting the government they so loathed. Seriously, this is just a cop out and a move to simply bait the Chinese government into a violent reaction, which worked to an extent.

Things got so bad that not even a sane Tibetan bothered to go out in the streets for fear of being randomly attacked, and some Tibetans went out of their way to put up white flags near their property to let others know they really are Tibetan (so they won’t get thrashed).

Ultimately, the people in France who wanted to see this rare relay missed out, and the “Free Tibet” activists claim another hollow victory. It’s a hollow victory because there are no immediate positive outcomes and no long-term benefits to Tibetans despite the empty claims of victory. It will only reaffirm the CCP’s need to take stronger measures against Tibetans and it may even generate disgust at their movement from non-Chinese.

The Sarah Connor Chronicles will not be seen tonight

Instead in America, all national networks are subjected to 2 to 3 hours of pointless drivel from George W. Bush in his final State of the Union address.  George Bush has done more than enough damage to the world in his 8 years in power.  Now taking up 2 hours of my valuable TV time is simply pushing it.

Ron Paul has a Problem (And It’s the White Man’s Fault)

Recently, Fox News and several GOP opponents have learned that White Supremacists, who profess to be White Nationalists, have been donating large amounts of money to Ron Paul. Like most people their reasons are simple: Ron Paul supports free speech, minority rights, and reducing America’s presence in the Middle East. However, the fact that these White Supremacists are bigoted against African-Americans, Asian-Americans, Hispanics, Muslims, Jews, homosexuals and other minority groups have made them a liability to Ron Paul’s grassroots campaign for the GOP nomination.

Yesterday, Neil Cavuto from Fox News interviewed Ron Paul asking him about receiving a $500 donation from Don Black, the webmaster of www.stormfront.org. If you don’t know Stormfront.org is actually a White Supremacist forum, formerly a functional website, that is designed to gather racists, “White Nationalists” and other persons of racial intolerance to discuss various issues and to promote White power.

Although Dr. Paul has pointed out that it is impractical to screen all of his donors and that the money would be better off in his hands rather than be used for White Supremacist causes, it looks like the donations by Don Black and like-minded individuals may compromise Ron Paul’s bid for the nomination. Paul has also pointed out that he does not personally support the White Supremacists’ ideology in any way, shape or form.

If these “White Nationalists” were as superior or intelligent as they claim, they would have realised that their open contributions to Ron Paul would only harm him and that they should anonymously donate to Paul to protect him from these now-rampant accusations of racism by the corporate media and right-wing and liberal bloggers.

It doesn’t help that Don Black and his son have actually met and taken pictures with Ron Paul:

Thank You ex-Grand Wizard Don Black for significantly tarnishing Ron Paul’s campaign with your open contributions and by publicly associating yourself with an honest, honourable man. Now you have encouraged similar lesser-minds to express their supposed connections with Dr. Paul…

Fucking 5.5G iPod

I come home and I try plugging my iPod back into iTunes. The problem is that the damn iPod refuses to load into the iTunes so I decide to eject the device and manually reset it by holding down MENU and the CENTER Button. After it restarts, the iPod prompts me to plug it back to the iTunes to do a full restore of the mp3 player. After 5 attempts at restoring, the iPod keeps restarting only to keep prompting me to restore the player.

By the 10th time, I realised that the iPod is broken and very little can be done for it. I tried restarting the computer and manually restarting the iPod again. Only this time, the computer was running fine while the iPod kept asking for a restoration. At this point I simply gave into my base emotions and I smashed the damn iPod until it split into two distinct pieces. Well, there goes $250 worth of 5th generation Apple technology. It is times like this I wished Apple would be smart enough to put a damn on/off button on the iPod and to actually have better quality control and technical service for their leading music player.

This is especially upsetting knowing that about 25 gigabytes worth of songs and videos were stored on that damn music player before the machine decided to crap out like a Windows 98 on me. Steve Jobs should be ashamed that he allowed his iPod to behave like Windows 98 at the slightest problem.

I feel fine.

Time Crisis 4 is a great way to relive stress. I can target practice and enjoy myself in a productive manner while releasing any work-related frustrations in a controlled manner. The first person shooter mode is a bit clunky but manageable, although it is not as fun as the traditional rails-on shooter. The storyline about the US Army creating a race of mutant bugs for weapons is a bit absurd as well as relying on two Eurotrash secret agents for saving America.

On another note, it was more surreal learning that the person who I replaced is working at a related company that I work with. It’s surreal and it shows how we sometimes live in a small world even without connections from myspace and facebook like most people these days. I think this can be another red flag for me and my career path.

Soul Plane 2 can be a very bad movie if it was ever brought on film:

The CNN Youtube-Republican Debates

I just watched the encore presentation of the Youtube-Republican debates, and I can say that it was bullshit. Much of the questions were only allowed to be answered by Huckabee, Giuliani, Thompson, and McCain while Hunter, Paul and Tancredo were shut out.

Then they ended the debate with a pessimistic question about Ron Paul’s third party bid and with a final question about the Yankees. I mean what kind of debate would finish off with a bullshit question?

This debate has made it very clear that the mainstream media is out to manufacture consent by narrowing the discourse to just a Giuliani vs Clinton election. All other candidates will be given time at the expense of Ron Paul…
