puffsrule: in the late 80's hustler magazine ran a series of articles about women and great danes. I guess it was a high profile hobby for a while. freaked me out when I first heard about it. but after we got the internet here where I work at the library in the early 90's, at the end of the day we would put all the terminals back to our home pages and I got a whole new education about bestiality. I could not believe that people did this. or rather i couldn't believe people did this and took pictures of it for other people to look at! I suppose if a person is like completely uneasy with interacting with people and have some serious hormonal needs, but...you know....damn. looks and sounds disgusting to me.

i live in klumbus ohio, in a neighborhood that ain't da hood but it ain't the 'burbs either.. it seems that if you are a male under 25 in my area and you don't have a 10,000 watt car stereo that shakes the whole neighborhood, well, you're nothing.. i don't get hip-hop culture.
i think that it is a screaming commentary on the cultural rot in the usa.. could someone comfort me or help explain the appeal of this pervasive sub-culture?
the depravity of it all makes me feel so hopeless sometimes.. maybe i'm a little too narrowly caucasian in my outlook.
amac: thanks for the info. I will have to remember that the next time I go music shopping (which isn't as often as it used to be - I have over 800 CDs, about 300 of which are rap)
LDH: I like the first BEP album better than the second. did they come out with a third one recently? and jamiraqu (sp?) is the best retro 70's smooth funk style out there now. I have 3 of his albums. I like the one that has supersonic on it the best.

that is disturbing news. even more disturbing than the guy who, about a year ago, got caught putting a blue nightie on a sheep at university farm and was about to "have relations with it" when some college kids caught sight of him and ran him off the school's property.

my friends and i started collecting these little figures from the quater machines in the grocery store called homies... just wondering if anyone else has these in their supermarkets/drug stores... they are so funny... little guys drinking 40's, holding skateboards.
they're great.
check them out.... .
source magazine did an article on the creator of homies a year or so ago. I thought they looked interesting and I thought that if I ever ran across some I would buy them (I collect toys and comic books and that sort of thing). I can underestand why people with children would have a problem with them. and I can also see how some would view them as bad sterotypes or caricatures. but I guess I dont take offense because the creator is from that culture and community. if I recall correctly, a few of the homies are based on some of his friends. if a person can not criticize or comment on his own culture and community, who can? dont get me wrong, I am not advocating the gang lifestyle. to me, that lifestyle, while it makes for good storytelling, is one born out of desperate need and is predicated on violence and raw capitalism. it is not something I would want anyone trapped into. but someone doing something creative within that environment I think is something that needs to be supported.

there are hundreds and hundreds of permitted extra-curricular activities for jw's to enjoy.
activities that have nothing to do with religion or worship where jw's can really have a ball!.

um, johnny, what exactly is a pleasure ground? sounds like something I should have known about years ago.

for a time a couple MS who were brothers organized volleyball games after
the meetings on sunday. it actually was fun...the first time. the idea was
to do something that all the kids and adults could do together. in no time,
the only people who should up were the brothers who were already into playing
basketball at the same park and the under 18 crowd who had nothing else to
do. the captains were usually the brothers in their 20s and in a matter of
weeks, their competitive natures came out. it got to the point were certain
ones didn't want to play at all and it became like a freaking circus maximus.
if I remember correctly, the elders had to step in and comment on the
"too worldly and competitive nature". as a cong activity, it died a quick
death after that.

what irritates me is when the car in front of me on the interstate leaves his turning signal on for 8 miles.
i was so irritated at this coming back from lunch today that all i could think of was, 'wouldn't it be great if i had a rocket installed in this little car so i could blow his car off the road?
' why do we get pissed at little stuff like this?
yay, a gripe session!
this week, my irritations are:
screaming children (i work in a library and we have a childrens reading program every summer)
old people who sunday drive every day of the week
the aforementioned turning signal on w/no turning going on
the aforemention ignorance
stupid people who think they are clever
clever people who act stupid
stupid people with lots of money
dogs that "do their business" in my yard
rude children
people who don't bathe regularly
extremely cheap people
old (as in over 65) racist people who spend too much time explaining to you how they are not racist
poor people who keep having children
bad parents
ineffectual parents
women who douse themselves in floral perfumes
the guy on the dell computer commercials ("dude, you should have got a dell"; I want to strangle him at this point)
that's it. join me next week when I shall be irritated with having to work on the weekend, mowing my yard in 90 degree weather and homeless people who fart while talking to you! :p

Overbeer: I have caught a few nappy roots videos and was considering trying
their CD. the last rap CD I bought was expansion team by dilated peoples.
I didn't like that one as much as the first one. I am patiently waiting
for another roots CD. I also bought AOI: Bionix by De La Soul not too long
before expansion team. I think I liked Art Official Intelligence better.
I'm just getting old. ;is the new blackilicious any good?

have you ever had to deal with the thought that you really weren't that good of an example?
perhaps, the congregation was encouraged to pioneer or reach out for bethel service or go to seldom worked territory, etc.
and when you applied, you were told that you didn't qualify.
ve9gra: I am so glad I didnt take the plunge. if I hadn't have listened to myself, I could see what would have happened: a 10 yr bid at bethel and then on to a life time of elder corruption.
SYN: dude, it was a rumor. really. I only read the good parts. besides, I read more comic books than I did watchtowers. hell, I still read more comic books than I do watchtowers. heh.
