OKAY SO WE'RE JUST GONNA STOP FOR A SECOND HERE TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THIS.
Today is Quit Facebook day, okay, easy enough who needs a stupid social networking site that doesn't give a shit about you or your privacy? So we're just gonna click on deactivate your account here in the account settings page... Okay! We're done, great let's just x out... Oh wait a minute what's this? A new email! Yay! Oh, bummer it's from Facebook telling me I've deactivated my account.. Well, I suppose I should read it, maybe they want to do something cool like give me a million bucks to come back, or maybe even just allow me to post animated gifs & not have my privacy fucked with.. Let's see then.
Hi Michael,
You have deactivated your Facebook account. You can reactivate your account at any time by logging into Facebook using your old login email and password. You will be able to use the site like you used to.
Thanks,
The Facebook Team
Now is where it really rubs me the wrong way. Does Facebook keep everything or does it just keep your account & URL? The answer is everything. From your pictures, videos & notes down to your status & other wall posts (ie: youtube, etc). I don't understand this concept I guess, but when I say that I'm going to quit & deactivate my account I shouldn't have it so easy as to just log right back in like nothing happened.. Or, should I? It's a good feature but if that's the case the same thing can be done by just logging out & going away forever. My epiphany in the whole situation is that deactivating the account is silly, but not using the site anymore isn't.
But is it really that easy? Since Facebook integrates itself into all the major websites when you favorite or digg or whatever the hell you people on the internet do on those sites, your Facebook is going to be updated. So even after you've quit Facebook if you don't change the settings on those other sites your page will remain active. I just want to know how we're even people anymore at this point? Sure it's social networking, but if you don't want it anymore you've got two routes: Log out of Facebook but continue to post because other websites are still integrated with your Facebook OR you can "deactivate" your account which is the same thing as logging out except only Facebook the conglomerate corporation are the only people that can see it & since we've found out Mark Zuckerberg or whoever doesn't really give a fuck about our privacy what's going to happen to that information?
Oh, I don't know
Overall, I don't mind Facebook only knowing what youtube videos I happen to enjoy, it can be useful or even the least bit entertaining for anyone who doesn't have me hidden yet, but what's the point of saying we're going to quit Facebook then? Because we can simply log back in & be done with it, they have our information anyway so what the hell is going to happen when /everybody/ leaves? As is everyone who wants a Facebook needs to have a cellular telephone with a paid plan (prepaid phones dont work with it) so that means that through this they (being Facebook's x-many staff members) can pretty much pinpoint your location through that.
So what's going to happen if we eProtest? I mean really, if everyone leaves Facebook for something new what's going to happen? I'll tell you what, Facebook is just going to sell your pictures & information for affiliate marketing right before cashing out & abandoning their offices.
Whatever though, who needs it, the internet is the internet is the internet. Web 2.whatever needs to get fucked though, just because more people are on this place doesn't mean they deserve to have it so easy as to find everyone they know in one place & converse with them. I remember a time when the internet was a place to learn about music & generally just get away from reality & everyday life, not interact with it.
& on that note I promise I will start writing in here more because I want to because I can. Cha cha cha I love the internet. Oh & there's a really good mixtape for free right here & here
THANXOXOX

oh you mean this blog isnt abandoned?
let's talk turkey bloggers. it's been something like two months since i last updated & fucking forever since i even said anything relevant up in this bitch. BUT i guess you can say i'm moderately inspired to try & start this thing back up. not having a job or vehicle offers so much artistic freedom like that.
ANYWAY I've seen & heard a ton of really bad ass things lately & let's go on a journey through what I like because fuck it it's my blog & I'll enjoy what I enjoy, you're just reading it.
Article one:
Tobacco - Fucked Up Friends 1 & 2
Some excellent audio/visual work from Black Moth Super Rainbow's Tom Fec, alternatively known as Tobacco as well as Beta Carnage & others. The videos consist of about 45 minutes or so of some slick jams from Fucked Up Friends as well as demo/early versions of songs off Tobacco's latest "Maniac Meat". In addition to the music is clips from several movies, telemercials, pornographic material involving aliens & workout videos. Tobacco has stated his music should have a sense of paranoia to it, but I think that he's a pretentious jerkoff & who cares what I think? The music, however is spot on & the visuals are entertaining as hell [what I'm trying to say is hallucinate to this shit.], I can only imagine that these videos would be really good to have if you were throwing a party or even just had some friends over for a night of drinking.
Where to Buy? to the best of my knowledge both of these DVDs were sold on various Tobacco tours & were limited to a certain number of copies. Check eBay or Craigslist if you're feeling lucky, but don't get suckered into paying an assload.
Article two: PROVIDENCE IS STILL AWESOME ALWAYS.
Load Records Presents [in 2004 lol] Pick A Winner!
Load Records is an independent eletronic/experimental/noise/what-have-you label based in Providence, RI. This dvd is a collection of videos from bands & artists on that label from Lightning Bolt to Paper Rad to White Mice. This really is a great video that can only be described as TV-Drugs, or drugs for your television. Certain videos stand out a bit more than others, I'm looking at you "My Favorite Homepage"
Unlike the previous audio/visual chicanery this DVD still is available from Load Records website. Use google because I'm lazy or work on finding a way to fix the internet so that everything obscure & awesome just comes direct to your desktop with no typing involved. kbye.
SIKE. More awesome shit about providence because providence is the best oh yes better than all the rest. LETS TALK LOCAL ACTS THAT /DONT/ SUCK.
Kokomo: Previously Ben Fino-Radin & Lyndon Cordero Lopez but more currently just Cordey & his gear. So yeah, kokomo is a one man shitstorm of dope jams all day. Dark, harsh, industrial beats so heavy they'll make you sick but so fun you'll start punching bitches in no time. Kokomo shows typically involve one of the following things happening; Destruction of perfectly good reading material, mosh pits, broken equipment & GOOD TIMES. KokoCordey really just loves to put pretty much everything he can into his performance running through the audience or moshing. I can't really call it moshing though, I'd rather call it interpretive flailing.
Math the Band: Since the start of this year it'd be safe to say I've seen math the band something like 5 or 6 times & I honestly can not wait for the next show. Currently on tour with MC Chris the Duo of Kevin & Justine rock the fuck out with casio jamz that would make Atom & his Package look tame [no I really mean this]. I've always had a love affair with the type of music they make. It's fun, it's poppy, driven by synths & guitars & lots of positivity, it's just what I want to hear. There really is something to these guys, because whenever & where ever they play I make damn sure to be there & rocking the fuck out hard enough for the whole crowd. Fuck, I can't even dance & I still manage to make that shit work when I'm hearing those tunes.
ARTICLE THREE BECAUSE SHIT I'VE BEEN WRITING FOR A WHILE.
THE FEELING
Juiceboxxx, AC Slater & Amy Douglas present one of the dopest jams I've heard in a long ass time.
No really, this shit is fucking excellent. It's like they were to take every cheesy-awesome-techno-dance-dance-revolution song & mash them together & they came out in 1993 with C&C Music Factory & Zombie Nation & everything amazing ever. No for real. Try to imagine a rave where not only is Mickey Mouse jammin' on top of a speaker, but Super Mario is macking it to bitches on the dancefloor. It's so generic that it's 100% perfect. The combination of early 90's rave music, the incendiary backing vocals of Amy Douglas & the one & only JUICEBOXXX really make this a party jam for the whole summer. Put the windows down, crank it up & bang it everywhere you can. One day when I'm a super fabulous fantastic DJ kind of guy I'm going to open a club where I play this song at least once a night every night because it's that good. DEAR 92 ETERNAL YOU GUYS SHOULD TOUR SO I CAN COME ROCK THE FUCK OUT.
Either way, seriously sick jams as well as some really awesome remixes by Luna-C, Udachi & Kastle each one holding it's own with the general feeling of the early 90's rave scene. Do yourself a favor & be on the lookout for this because you want it. Oh yes, you want it.
AND THAT'S IT GTFO WHOS TAKING ME ON TOUR WITH THEM NO ONE BECAUSE I'M NOT EVEN A ROADIE OR A GROUPIE OR ANYTHING WITH AN IE AT THE END OK LATER I'LL BE BACK AT THE END OF THE YEAR TO TELL YOU WHATS GOOD [NOT RLY]
