What is and what will be

Alexander — Sun, 26 Nov 2006 14:35:04 +0000

A very condensed list of almost wise thoughts found on November 26.

Type talk

Alexander — Sat, 25 Nov 2006 22:13:30 +0000

Do you recognise me?
What is your name again?
Didn't we meet before somewhere?
Well, I think I would have remembered such an unpleasant face – if I may say so.
Unpleasant? No, not unpleasant or even ugly, more kinda fixed width…
Fixed with what, exactly?
Fixed with an impact!
An impact on something very popluar.
Popular? Polularity stems from legibility, sometimes.
I fully agree on that one.
Absolutely true, my dearest.

November 25. Eleven well known, hmm, what are their names again?

What are you gonna do today, Napoleon?

Alexander — Mon, 06 Nov 2006 15:42:42 +0000

Kid on Bus: What are you gonna do today, Napoleon?
Napoleon: Whatever I feel like I wanna do. Gosh!
Grandma: How was school?
Napoleon: The worst day of my life, what do you think?
Kip: Your sandy hair floats in the air… To me it's like a lullaby… I'm just flying by… Oh so high… like a kite… tied to a skate…
Rex: Take a look at what I'm wearing, people. You think anybody wants a roundhouse kick to the face while I'm wearing these bad boys? Forget about it.
Napoleon: This is pretty much the worst video ever made.
Kip: Napoleon, like anyone can even know that.
Uncle Rico: You know what, Napoleon? You can leave.
Napoleon: You guys are retarded!
Napoleon: So, we're pretty much friends by now, right?
Pedro: Yes.
Napoleon: So, you got my back and everything, right?
Pedro: They're pretty good, except for one little problem. That little guy right there. He is nipple number five. A good dairy cow should have, like, four.
Napoleon: I spent like three hours doing the shading on the upper lip. It's probably the best drawing I've ever done.
Kip: LaFawnduh is *the* best thing that has ever happened to me. I'm 100% positive she's my soul mate. Don't worry Napoleon, I'm sure there's a babe out there for you too. Peace out.
Kip: Why do you love me? Why do you need me? Always and forever… We met in a chatroom, now our love can fully bloom… Sure the world wide web is great, but you, you make my salivate… I love technology, but not as much as you, you see… But I STILL love technology… Always and forever….
Napoleon: Sorry I'm late. I just got done taming a wild honeymoon stallion for you guys.

This is the sixth post for the 'November of lists'. Lists take five minutes to assemble but hours to take apart – makes you look smart, eh?

3 people having a conversation that makes a lot of sense (excerpt)

. Big Smoke: "A lot of people say gangster rap is misogynistic posturing by fake-ass idiots who spend more time in drama school then they ever did pimping or hustling dope. Well I assure you, OG Loc is the real thing. He’s hated women all his life, he sold drugs to school children, he’s murdered innocent people just for kicks, but he rhymes like an angel. And I assure you, it’s all in a good cause. So either way, you could feel good about yourself listening to this music."
. Lazlow: "Well that was very informative. Big Smoke is doing a lot for the community, or to it. He sounds like a great guy. So I wanna get in on this rap thing. Do I have to breakdance, y’know, do the windmill? Hey, can you body pop?"
. Loc: "Come on Lazlow, you know OG ain’t no playboy. I ain’t down with that shit. It ain’t gangster. I walk the walk, you know what I’m saying?"
. Lazlow: "Fresh! Yo, I’m down! I’m into walking too, but, I was thinking maybe we could have a break-off. I could spin on my back…"
. Loc: "You bein’ funny?"
. Lazlow: "I’m tryin’ to be."
. Loc: "Watch it, fool. I warn you, I got the streets. I got arep. Me and my man Smoke, we took over. I’ve been gangbanging since Iwas three. Ice-cold killa!"
. Lazlow: "Excuse me? Gangbanging!? I never understood that, I mean, other guys in the room while you’re-ugh!"
. Loc: "I’m ice-cold bitch! Don’t make me dump on you, g! I’mthe streets man, I am gangsta! I’m taking rap in a whole new direction.For now, it’s about making words rhyme, and I’m going toe-to-toe withyou in a minute."
. Lazlow: "Why do you rappers get so worked up? You’re rich.You’ve won. Stop shooting at each other. You know, and you keep saying,’I'm from the streets.’ Well you know what dude, everyone has a streetin front of their house, that doesn’t make you cool."
. Loc: "Oh, we got a comedian, huh? You got scraps, huh, bitch? You down? You mark-ass-bitch-punk-trick-busta’-fool?"
