While lifting any kind of music I like is fine, but when doing cardio (running especially) I prefer rap. Dance music beats just aren't hard enough to get you pumped up. Hip Hop and rap, that shit'll get you through that last boring, hellish 10 minutes of running.

My mom made me take 5 years of classical piano but I suck. I know all I need to know to, in theory, play most pieces but I never really ABSORBED all that music theory. I can't keep good time once the notes become "smaller," and I'm too lazy to give another go at it (i.e. start practicing, playing easier pieces paying more attention to time and feeling). I'm thinking about buying a guitar.

I should have put down work longer, not harder. Definitely work longer than Europeans. Japan, well, they're just special little beavers, aren't they? Two main culprits to our big asses are the low fat and carb myths started in the 80's that we're just now getting smart to. People think they can eat as much low fat food as they want. Wrong. A calorie is a calorie. People also thought/think pasta is a freebie too, all you can shovel into piehole, and now they wonder why a city has to come knock down a wall of their house so the crane can put them into the semi-truck that'll carry them to the hospital.

Dude can't draw worth shit.

It's pretty obvious why Americans are so fat... we work harder than every other industrialized nation so we sit on our asses a lot... great TV programs... not in NYC but definitely everywhere else people take their car to go 20 yards to the 7-11, nobody walks... too many snack foods... fast food... recipe for a bunch of lazy fat asses.

The basement of NYU's Bobst library is a marvelous place to shit. When it comes to shitter, my standards are high, only the best will do, and Bobst is all class, baby. I also like to shit on Paris Hilton's bony chest.

She seems like the type of girl who may be past her prime. I'm interested to see if her young cuteness turns into an older hotness, or if she just starts looking like shit. Her face is kind of asymetrical, but nice tits in The Gift. Yeah, she's a fucking cutie all right. For now...

I've heard that cocaine makes people feel damn good about themselves, but so what? There are better, more permanent ways of improving self-esteem than drugs. Religion does offer some positive benefits but you can get all the same positive benefits WITHOUT having to worship a supernatural ghost. And you're wrong about religion bringing people together - that is absolutely incorrect. Religion is THE most divisive concept known to man. Skin color, ethnicity, politics, and nationality have nothing on religion in this regard. What makes religion unique is that REASON just doesn't apply to it, unlike with skin color, ethnicity, politics, and nationality. Religion is based solely on faith, nothing more. There's no reasoning with faith. You're allowed to hate, love, kill, or think based solely on arbitrary interpretations of your religious text of choice. When you're kissing up to the omnipotent overlord of the whole fucking universe then what do you care what mere humans think? Religion started out as a sincere way of explaining the world in a pre-science world, but it's something we really don't need any more. I have nothing against people that practice religion but I'm sort of offended and confused by why they need to worship sky pixies in order to give their lives meaning. Find meaning someplace else, someplace real. I used to believe in Santa Claus but it's okay to STOP believing in Santa Claus, just live with the fact that your parents bought you those gifts - your world doesn't have to collapse because of one little dispelled myth. Religion is a "crutch for the weakminded" and people need to stop acting like it's a valid worldview. We should all respect and admire religious people that do good in the world, or are at least respectful of other, non-believing people, but at the same time we should work together towards a world where people do good because they WANT to do good, not because they're afraid of Hell. Not true. The people who use it as an excuse to hate would say that they're way of practicing contatins way LESS distortions. Religion has been watered down by political and social changes. If you read the Koran or the Old Testament you'll see that violence is not only tolerated but encouraged. I agree with this but there are healthier, more realistic ways of finding hope. Real life is tough and unpredictable, that's just the way it is - accept it then get over it. Using religion to find peace in the world is like giving yourself a lobotomy because your girlfriend is talking too much.

yes, she's hot. But she looked much better 6 years ago when the show first started. Her talent makes up for a lot though. My favorite character is Swan, though. Put Sullivan's young face on a different body and you'd really have something worth fucking.

I thought she looked hot in this video. Classy? No. Sophisticated? No. Virginal? Oh, sweet tap dancing Jesus Christ no! Yes, she looks like a ho but does anybody here really think that wasn't intentional? The thing I can't believe is that TRL is showing at 4 in the afternoon when 12 year old boys are just getting home from school. They see this video and their hormones probably start acting up like a bunch of arabs (I have nothing against the arab people btw) at an anti-America rally, causing them to beat their own cocks into numbness. Shit.

Great post, dialectic. I don't know where the following fits in but... The music business is notoriously shady. Hollywood is known for their incredibly creative accounting practices but I've heard that in the entertainment biz nobody rapes more ass than the music industry. Film and TV operate in almost exactly the same way as the music industry in that every new creative endeavor is lumped together. The money that's lost from 15 different BioDomes are recouped by one Star Wars movie. It's all lumped together and the movie studio is hoping that in the end they'll come out ahead. It's really how all business is done. So why do I feel as if the insurance, pharmaceutical, and music industries are fucking us the hardest. The record industry bitching about people burning CD's and downloading free music is like the pharmaceuticals complaining about terminally ill people buying "illegal" generic knockoff drugs to save their own life. It's complete bullshit. It's like a robber beating you up for having the nerve to try to escape. I feel for the smaller independent labels but, really, peer 2 peer doesn't really affect them and, in fact, they're usually the ones that support downloading (publicity is publicity). I don't really know what I'm trying to say. Basically I see the big record labels as self-appointed kings and queens demanding an unreasonable tax from us peasants. It's time to overthrow the kings. Greedy bastards.

I think peer-2-peer file sharing is something I'm glad to have taken advantage of but something that should die soon. But the record companies should quit their fucking crying about it cuz it's no wonder people settle for free when the CD's are jacked up in price way beyond the point of jusitification. The prices are complete donkey ball licking, shit eating, retard fucking bullshit. The record companies bitching is like if Poland Springs started charging 8 dollars for a 20 ounce bottle of water then complained when people stopped buying their shit and began drinking tap water instead. Maybe not a perfect analogy but you understand. I've heard rumors of a class action suit against the record company and even of a settlement but don't know much about it. I don't understand how a CD can cost more than a cassette tape. Yes, the CD sounds better and lasts longer but the tape must cost way more to manufacter and duplicate. None of it makes any fucking sense. I haven't bought a CD in a long time and will continue to download as much free music as possible, buying only the CD's of artists I really, really like.

This is semi-unrelated but I had a ibm drive in my laptop that totally flaked out. It started making goofy noises and "stalling." I replaced it with a Toshiba and it's been fine so far. Not too long ago I was looking for at IBM's deskstars in hopes of expanding space for DV, encasing my old drive into a hardwire enclosure, but read too many articles about IBM being unreliable, defective even. Why do so many of you have so much disk space? I'm just curious. Pro Tools?

I would want to be the guinea pig for a one-time-only study on happiness being funded by a secret group of bored billionaires. The purpose of the study is to see just how happy a person can be. This would be accomplished by... I will be given 2 billion dollars, tax-free, in the form of bonds, relatively conservative stocks, real estate, and, of course, cash. It will all be legal. This study will be kept secret. Nobody, not even family and close friends, will know just how exactly I got all this money - and who really gives a shit? Now it's time for me to find out how happy I can become. It might influence the results to have people follow me around or to monitor my life too closely so the bored billionaires will take an honors approach, relying on me to send them emails and shit letting them know how I'm doing. Otherwise, my life is mine. The life of a young billionaire traveling to places, getting fucked up, fucking the hottest women, and spending money like a drunk Arab at a strip joint.

The critics pretty much hit it right on the head: Good movie. Very imaginative. Hell of a debut. Major 3rd act problems. How the hell was this guy allowed to make such a strange movie for his directorial debut? The amount of cock he sucked must stretch from Hoboken to Sacramento. Jesus. What a lucky bastard. The movie was fun to watch but the story sort of lost me. He was being a self-indulgent, allowing the story to go all over the place, and it just kept getting shakier and shakier. Hopefully he'll soon learn that you can only use incoherence to trick people into thinking you're "deep" so many times before they give up on you. Unless you're David Lynch. But it's safe to say that his cock-sucking days are far behind him.

I'm not like other guys. It's not the pussy or cute little anus or full lips or lush hair that I notice about this hottie. In fact, I couldn't even tell you if she was pretty or not, I just don't notice those sort of things. I notice the compassion in her eyes, the intelligient movement of her brows. She is truly a creature of noble breeding. Who cares about her tits. What makes her tic? What are your dreams, Beautiful One? What makes you cry and laugh? I care more about a woman's soul, what's inside of her. And if she would just spread her labes a bit further out I could see what's inside of her. If you want a sensitive caring man who'll break up with you to your face, then call...

The Only Magazine You'll Ever Need To Find Out All That's Happening In The Mile High City Including Nightlife, Fashion, Food, Film, Church Bingos, And Other Fun Stuff But Only For People Who Like To Have Fun, The Kind Of People Who Like To Party Magazine. It's pretty catchy, isn't it?

I can't believe how quickly this thread digressed into an argument over the true hair color of a naked chick showing off her pussy. :lol

You could be describing so many people here in NYC. People come here to reinvent themselves and unfortunately they often reinvent themselves as world-class assholes. I've noticed that the rudest people you'll run into here are with very few exceptions tranplants. The real New Yorkers (you know, people who have been here for 5 years or longer, hehehe) are chill as fuck (usually), but the newly arrived thinks being an asshole will make them a "real" New Yorker. Was that relevant? Harmony falls into the category of "artist" who has very limited technique or actual talent who gets by on doing the type of shameless shit artists of substance flirt with and abandon by the time they're 12. Still, I'd love to see that movie he was making where he was getting his ass kicked by random people on the street. In general, I just hate cooler-than-thou types. I get this instinctual urge to kick their knee-cap and elbow their noses in. But it's not entirely Harmony's fault that he's a donkey-fucking moron. Our culture has made it possible for him to become rich so we must take some of the blame for creating this monster by supporting his work. Collectively we created the system in which this asshole thrives... Actually, I don't care about this guy one way or the other. This is the most I'll ever say about him.

What did I learn this week? - pj stands for projects. Not pajamas or Punker Jesus. - Pink Houses is a pj, not a John Cougar song. - Lance Bass will NOT be the first gay pop star in space.

Nope. Is this a trick question?

I used to know this guy who lived in the Alan Parson's Projects. Hi-ho.

I was kidding about the Camp Lo thing. But what does "pj" stand for?

I tried watching Reefer Madness. Thought it would be funny in the same unintentional way that Plan Nine From Outer Space is supposed to be, but I had to turn if off after a few minutes cuz it was more boring than watching a Japanese man playing golf. You can see it at broadcast.com, I think. They should still have it. Never saw Coolie High. Does Camp-Lo star?
