It is change, continuing change, inevitable change that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be. Isaac Asimov
If you hate what you do, no amount of power or money will make up for that. If your life is constantly stressful, boring, unhappy, or frustrating, how can achieving some high status once in a while make up for all the miserable days and weeks you spent getting there? It’s tempting to feel that the end will more than make up for the means; that you’ll forget the misery in the blaze of achievement. And you will—for a few moments. Then you’ll be back on the treadmill, with only the distant hope of some fresh achievement or monetary gain to console you. That’s like being a laboratory rat conditioned to unnatural behavior by occasional pellets of food.
ok, so theres 5 "land marks" in the long beach midgetville
1. The witches house, which is basically a house thats painted all black on the corner. you can look inside and their is absolutely no furniture or anything. shit is scary!!
2. The Fresh midget prince of bel-air house. exactly what it sounds like.
3. Igor's alley.. which is basically a pitch black, one-way alley. and when i say one way, i mean "one way", no way to turn or anything. supposedly theres a story where if you walk down the alley, theres a swimming pool full of dead roses.. and a chair on the edge of the diving board.
4. The really long house. its a really long house that takes up a whole block. We couldnt find it last night.
5. We started driving along this one street.. mark brought up the fact that although there were houses.. there were no cars along this street. We proceeded along this street which was by a golf course of some sort (I believe it was a normal-people golf course). I kept driving to nearly the end of this street where there was a gate. We stopped and they said it was the entrance to the underground midget city. I kept driving towards it and they stopped me and yelled "What the hell are you doing!? Dont go in there!!" Apparently, you have to push this button to get through this gate.. but to push the button you have to get out of the car. The entrance was really errie.. The trees in particular were creepy looking. Theres stories of people going in and getting chased out, bricks thrown at their cars, etc.
If I were to sum up the experience, I would say it was creepy, and funny at the same time. They have little minature houses! How funny is that. And all of the houses are fucking nice. Like mansion status. But smaller of course. I guess it was the beverly hills of midgetvilles. On a scale of 1-10, I give the experience a 8.
Since the late 1990s, the word hipster has resurfaced as a term to describe performers and devotees of indie rock and downtempo electronica, and related styles of music, and those who follow the associated fashions and tastes. The sterotypical accessories of the modern hipster include Vespa scooters, Buddy Holly-style glasses, patchy facial hair (in the case of men), tattoos, and vintage clothing.
Modern hipsters often follow or are involved with the local art and DJ scenes, and are often associated with independent film and alternative comics. Unlike previous generations of hipsters, they are rarely now associated with the jazz scene, though the term likely re-entered use as a result of the swing revival and lounge revival of the mid-1990s, which many current hipsters were associated with at the time.

Modern Amusement store in Honalulu, Hi. The japanese lady that owned the store was super nice. I shouldn't have lied to her by saying that I went to UH for a discount. If youre in the area, please by all means stop by for some water and cookies.
I've been trying to get off my ass and get some music out. I've basically lowered my standards and its working out great. I figure if I make a beat a week, one of em is bound to be decent. Check-check it outtttt:
The blurs in the back are about 30 cops in riot gear. Lapd shut down the dead prez show before we could sneak in. I didnt know a peaceful hiphop benefit for katrina victims called for riot gear and ghettobird. This was the best picture i could get.
"Hawaii is the most diverse state and is first among states in its percentages of minorities, Asians, Japanese, Filipinos, Chinese, Pacific Islanders, and multi-racial people."
