"I shot a man in Weno, just to watch him die..." Disturbing Adorable Disturbing Huh.
I shot a man in Weno,
Probably would've been a better post title.
Also, before Facebook I never would have known I had the type of students who post bible quotes as their status updates.
I mean, I wouldn't have known that I had so many of that type of student.
During my relatively short addiction to Mafia Wars on FB, during which I recruited 600+ strangers to be "in my mafia," I was amazed at how many people do this and how many "likes" they got. Good grief--I'm an atheist, and you don't see me posting pithy Dawkins quotes all over the place. Just shut the fuck up about it already and we can all get along.
Also, how many people need to say loony shit about liberals/Dems/Obama/gays/health-care reform/etc? I mean, just going completely out of their way to be nasty. Makes me hate people.
I've got a pretty cocooned circle, I'm not ashamed to say, Although the one HS freind in there recently said positive things about Atlas Shrugged*, so that was disappointing.
* "You can really see it in things that are happening today." NO YOU CAN'T ARGH!!!!!
Makes me hate people.
But the flying spaghetti monster still loves you, Chopper.
Here's the same kid doing a blues jam. I was a little worried he was going to start singing about squeezing his lemon or peeping in a seafood store or something like that, but fortunately there's no singing.
Here's a c. 7 year old's adaptation of "Cocaine".
I'm worried that youtube is creating a whole new generation of maladjusted child stars.
PK was all, "that's kind of disturbing, watching a little kid sing about killing people."
Me: "WHAT?! You're always talking about wanting to blow things up or stab people!"
PK: "I don't talk about *shooting* them!"
What kid wouldn't be disturbed at the prospect of bringing a knife to a gunfight, B?
No way that's a boy. Unless it's the long-lost blonde child of Prince Valiant.
I'm worried that youtube is creating a whole new generation of maladjusted child stars.
Yeah, but at internet speed so they will have peaked, fallen into the unknown, hit rock bottom, and bounced back (detox optional) all before they're 18.
Oh my god, I watched this not 20 minutes ago with friends and was rushing to post it. Ridiculous! (In an adorable sense).
This diapered kid singing, dancing and "strumming" along to System of a Down puts on a pretty good show. A little overlong, however.

16: I suspect the wee one is imitating mom and/or dad's own rockout session, which makes it all the more entertaining.
something I did not know:
"Bam-bam," Lynch noted, is a slang term for cocaine in the parlance of Colombian drug traffickers.
There's a 10 year old kid does various swing and bossa tunes on guitar on youtube. She has a nice pure voice, but her guitar playing is really good. That type of stuff is _really_ hard to play smoothly.
Bossa:

[I Got Rythm -- the playing on the double tempo bit after the middle is great for a kid that age]

1: Sums it up for me completely. The thread could end there.
11: BSLABPHDICTIPAOWH.
21: I love "I Got Rhythm". She's really good.
before Facebook I never would have known I had the type of students who post bible quotes as their status updates.
I know the bible reasonably well, but I just don't think I generally lead the sort of life that lends itself to being described with bible quotes.
Ajay is 1 Kings i 1-2.
Or, on a bad day, 1 Kings 18 xxix.
Or Genesis iii.15.
Life ain't easy for a boy named Sue.
23: The one that prompted me to write that comment yesterday wasn't actually a bible verse but something like:
Jane Smith I get down, and He picks me up! and I get down, and He picks me up! and I get down, and He picks me up!
Jane Smith I get down, and He picks me up! and I get down, and He picks me up! and I get down, and He picks me up!
Stop doing that Jesus, I'm trying to get some fucking sleep here.
27: are you sure that isn't a Chumbawumba lyric?
I get knocked up! And I get down again! I don't let anybody knock me up!
He takes a water drink, he makes a wine drink! He takes a water drink, he makes a wine drink!
27: Maybe it's just a recurrent capitalization error and she is just talking about some dude. Eg, a friend of mine was with this guy named Chris for years and I routinely misspelled that as "Christ.". "Christ fails to see you for who you really are.". "Christ is never going to love you as you deserve to be loved." "It annoys the crap out of me the way. Christ is constantly reminding you of every little fault."
Further to 33, the problem was not solved by her moving on to a guy named Stan.
Satan is never going to love you as you deserve to be loved.
I go down to get up, I go up to get down
I do anything to keep my head spinning round...
When you're alone and life is making you lonely, you can always go: downtown.
33: That's pretty funny, even to a guy who calls theology a literature of unrequited love, written by the loved.
S(a)tan told such beautiful lies.
Did you know that puppies are made of ice cream and joyfulness? Fact.
But this is impressive in its way as well.
42: That is cool. And it's in a fun time signature to boot!
theology a literature of unrequited love, written by the loved
Now this I like.
44: I'd be pretty proud of it myself if it didn't seem like the kind of thing that somebody must have come up with years ago.
Congratulations, Jesu, you're really starting to piss me off, you fucking cunt.
b, send me an e-mail, will you? My computer died, taking with it your various addresses.
My computer died a while back too. Fucking sucks, doesn't it? Email en route.
