Micah’s Musings

I am sad to say that this blog has moved to a new place. All future posts will be hosted there!

Ow,I can already feel the jarring pain in my mouth. I am getting my “wisdom” teeth taken out. Why do we even have them anyway? Do we use them? I guess not, since they are being extracted. I guess evolution has decided that the pain brought on by teeth removal builds character. Well, at least I will get to take painkillers for the hurt. However, there goes the last 5 days of my vacation, which will be wiled away in front of the computer or in bed, seeing as the excrutiating pain will keep my ninja-senses dull (the painkillers will probably help this effect). Updates on the journey through the first level of hell tomorrow.

PS: Timmy is a Human Cannon!

Angry Alien Productions, a website with 30 second parodies/re-enactments of movies…with bunnies. Quite amusing? Check it out.

Download, every single trailer..ever made..all indexed perfectly. They even have Snakes on A Plane; Oh my! When ever you want to watch a movie trailer, or see one again, this is THE place to go.

Jump the Shark charts the instant any TV show hits its peak and begins its downhill march. It is pretty cool, and unusual concept. Awesome for seeing what other people think was the best part of the show. Unfortunately…Most people think Family Guy has never peaked (maybe a good thing?). 

Download is a stie that hosts the largest collection of organised movie cliches on the intranet..some or sorta funny, such as this, “Bad guys will always get killed by a snake, while the hero simply reaches out and picks it up with his bare hands. (In addition, he will either break the reptile’s neck (?) or bite it’s head off)”–Sorta like Snakes on A Plane.

Movie Scripts is site where they have tons of scripts indexed have. Sadly they do not have Snakes on A Plane, but they do have many other ones, including The Chronic(what?)cles of Narnia

That’s All Folks! See you next time!

I luuuuuuvvv the intranet. It is so great. Recently I was browsing (aka: wasting time) the repository of wastefulness that is known as the web. In addition, I have become the Charlotte of my house, in regard to computer (heh, get it? Charlotte’s Web…). I have discovered the sudden abundance of free time available to someone who has no school. One site that I have found is absolutely awesome.

TuneGlue, lets you find music that you will <3. For example, if you are an immense/psychotic Red Hot Chili Peppers fan, you just go to the top right of the page and search for the RHCP’s (However you actually can not be lazy, and must spell it out). The RHCP’s pop up, and you click on the icon, and select expand. The site is integrated with Last.fm, and it shows you bands similar to the selected band, that you might like. You are also able to find the individual albums/releases available. *Absolute Web 2.0 Genius*

I have never seen anything so weird, or amazing at the same time. This site is also pretty creepy. A somewhat unauthorized tour of a nuclear missile silo.

“Here are some photos of brave, God-fearing souls who have made their voices heard in protest of the abomination that is shrimp-eating. They are often obliged to infiltrate or counter-protest the more “mainstream” protests of hypocritical shrimp-eaters who call themselves Christians. ” God Hates Shrimp!

Ever played Kitten Cannon? This is a Japanese version, that I think is SOOO much better. Instead of hurting innocent kittens, launch japanese girls on bikes. It is awesome perhaps?
Obey the Flying Spaghetti Monster, the creation/god of an amazing religion called Pastafarianism. Think about it. It is an awesome religion that advocates the eating of spaghetti, a heaven with beer volcanoes and stripper factories, and support of the fact that all evidence of evolution was planted by the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Another headline about evolution, which is entitled “Big Mistake” (heh).

I know that Christmas presents have arrived in the mail, and some people(cough cough, definetily not me) have an OCD-like compulsion to pop the bubblewrap. It is an amazing invention, that was not created to keep your presents safe, but instead to make sound in a room (sound of popping bubble wrap> babbling of your aunts/uncles/parents). However when your bubblewrap is taken away by the aforementioned adults, you have to keep yourselves entertained. This site will do it.

First there was Emo. Now what does today’s America face in the world of fashion?

The answer is not The Scene Movement, because Scene is not just a fashion statement - it’s a way of life. (similar to The Hyphy Movement.) It consists of countless subcategories known as “subcultures” including indie, fasionxcore, and hardxcore (hxc). These subcultures are generally music-obsessed, and enjoy being loyal to a small family of bands until they become known, upon which they abandon them and embark on their never-ending search for an even obscurer band.

It is unknown when or where the origin of Scene began, but some reliable sources point to the theory of evolution, and that in a population there is bound to be self-loving, attention craving, circle-closers who adapt to the environment by clinging together at local concerts and on myspace while attempting to ridicule those that are not scene. (which, suprisingly, is a vastly higher majority.) They practice “being cocky” regularly, and because of this, Scene should never be confused with Emo. We all know that being Emo consists of…well…being emotional. Scene people are too full of themselves to inflict pain upon their plastic jewelry wearing wrists.

Most of these subcultures are destructive to the community, but the purpose of this article is not to bash them, but to enrich the reader’s knowledge of the Scene movement, so he or she can prepare ahead of time to combat these parasites by deflating or eliminating their gargantuan ego.

Part One - Identifying the Scenester

If you are a fairly normal person, the first time you meet someone will be either at school, a party, or over myspace. Scenesters generally act the same at schools or at parties. The first thing you probably will notice about him/her is his/her style of dress. This diagram below will explain exactly what to look for in a typical scenester.

fig. 1-1

Occasionally, a scenester will become so self-absorbed that he will not care for old band tshirts, instead sporting an Argyle sweater, or an even more oldschool tshirt, such as ones with faded pictures of superheroes or dinosaurs on it. A popular scene tshirt sporting a stegosaurus that says “All my friends are dead,” is a key notifier that you are looking at a Scenester.

fig. 1-2

Notice, just because he dresses Scene does not make him scene. He could be a poser, who is someone who wishes to be scene but doesn’t have enough self confidence to, which brings me to my next point. Observe his body language. Is he constantly trying (pathetically or successfully, depending on the coolness of the crowd) to get attention? Is there a sort of arrogant stride to his walk? Does he slouch (or attempt to, in his inhumanly-tight jeans) as if he owns you and everybody else when he sits? Does he make fun of other people and excessively use words such as “legit” “nubbice” and “stafu”? Congratulations, you have just met a hardxcore scenester in real life.

The other way to meet a scenester is over the internet - more specifically - Myspace.com. (If you clicked on that link involuntarily, you are addicted. Go get help. The first stage is denial.) Naturally, scenesters are obsessed with taking pictures of themselves. More specifically, from weird angles and/or against a bathroom mirror. Below is an example of a typical Scene myspace “pic”.

fig. 1-3

When scenesters are not taking pictures of themselves, they are taking pictures of their environment, uploading them as washed-up, over-saturated pseudo-art, while trying to get others’ attention and approval all the same. Listen to their profile music. Is the vocalist a whiner? Is it either loud or acousticy? The person is Scene, so do not add him. Ever.

Part Two - Assessing the Theat

So now you are standing face-to-face with a bloodsucking scenester. What do you do?

Let’s start off with what you shouldn’t do:

-Don’t complement him. He will automatically assume you are conquered material and will treat you like trash.
-Don’t laugh at his jokes, even if they aren’t at your expense. Instead, grimace at them and lay it on the line that he is a douch bag.
-Never bring up music as a topic. He will go on a long rant about how your favorite band is a sellout and your taste in music is disgusting.
-Avoid being around him and a girl at the same time because he will do everything in his power to make you look like a moron in front of her.
-Although scenesters are typically scrawny little kids who thing they have “guns”, they can fight pretty well. Unless you know you can win, don’t assault one. Have you ever seen a hardxcore dance? That’s how they fight, too.

This is what you should do:
-Act like what he’s telling you is unbearably boring, but do it in a friendly way.
-Wait quietly until he says something mean to you without being provoked. Then give him verbal hell.
-Make fun of him. (i.e. how tight his friggin jeans are.) By damaging his ultra-ego you are taking his power away, thus making the world a better place.
-Simply excuse yourself politely, turn around, and make a gagging noise.
-Laugh at his expense.
-Tell him he’s scene.

So there you have it. Now you will probably be able to pick out the scenester in any crowd. It is your duty to bring them to justice. Go out there, and flatten some damn egos!

Happy Scene-hunting!

Did you know that eating soy can make you homosexual? Well, this “devil food” can poison your child! In fact, “most of the medical (not socio-spiritual) blame for today’s rise in homosexuality must fall upon the rise in soy formula and other soy products. (Most babies are bottle-fed during some part of their infancy, and one-fourth of them are getting soy milk!) Homosexuals often argue that their homosexuality is inborn because “I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t homosexual.” But now many of them can truthfully say that they can’t remember a time when excess estrogen wasn’t influencing them. ”

The self-proclaimed “health food fanatic” that this author claims to be hardly ever brings non-organic food into his house, and now he is calling one of the healthiest foods around, “feminizing”. Not only are the facts illogical, but his “Research in 2000″, and “Recent research” is nowhere to be seen. No bibliography or sources cited. Nada. The despicable author, probably was payed to do this, or must have seen some benefit for himself. Oh, sure; he might have actually believed this, but there is absolutely NO CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE. Maybe, it is a persoanl vendetta against the soy-industry. They probablay threatened his manhood or pride.

However, the author writes on a website where Chuck Norris has a column, so he couldn’t be that bad if Chuck Norris would have him tag along in his holy wake (Ex: Bruce Lee). More on that later…

While most people associate death metal music with a bunch of guys grunting and slapping detuned guitars randomly, there’s a multitude of reasons why this genre maintains a strong following and earns the fierce loyalty of many listeners worldwide. If you’re curious about death metal, here’s you’re chance to learn, appreciate, listen, and enjoy.

1. Listen beyond the crunching guitars and harsh singing. Although the rough guitar sound and grating vocals permeate all of death metal, it can take a little getting used to, especially if your ears are accustomed to Read the rest of this entry »

Dear K-Fed,
Clap, Clap. Good job Kevin. You are a genius. I’m not even being sarcastic. A year ago, you were a poor hick; now that you have broken up with Britney you are a rich hick. I have to give you some credit. You got to be married to one of the largest pop-stars ever (in popularity as well as size). And you had two babies. That is sort of wierd considering you broke up with her to hang out with a trashed, shady Las Vegas stripper. Then..you got divorced. Nice move. Britney then exposed herself to the paparazzi because she felt so bad. When your “music” was leaked, even she thought it was bad. Hope you had fun on the battlefield of love Federline.

Sincerely,

Micah Lerner

Yay, I’m stoked. Three days tillmy Birthday. I’m sort of sad that my birthday is on December 7th, since that is Pearl Harbor. Recently, I changed the colors on my site, and the layout, and on the right side you can see what web pages I have found interesting recently (The arts and crafts one is when I was looking for a gift for my Mommie). For my birthday, I want a REAL copy of Company of Heroes. Right now I only have the cracked version..so it is basically like a trial. You are not allowed to play on the internet with my version. It is an awesome game, maybe one of the most fun that I have ever played. It might even be so fun that I would risk giving up WoW for a bit. It is that crazy. The game is based around the European Campaign against the Nazis. The first mission is Normandy, followed by missions that are all most completely accurate with the actual battles and actions following. The design team even went to France to render the neighborhoods and towns that are in the battles. In short it is a great game, and you must google (um..nevermind) it if you have a chance. Beware, a computer with good graphics is required for the running of the game; if you don’t have one, be prepared to experience video lag and slow gameplay (christmas is coming, maybe that is what you need).
