British people are fucking crazy.

Viceland - MOGADISHU MASSIVE - Grime is No. 1 in Hell

This is a pretty incredible article. I just felt like I had to share.

So Solid vs. Dizzee even in Mogadishu…weirdness.

Emo? Me? I’d never post Bright Eyes lyrics…NEVER!

If you walk away, I’ll walk away
First tell me which road you will take
I don’t want to risk our paths crossing some day
So you walk that way, I’ll walk this way

And the future hangs over our heads
And it moves with each current event
Until it falls all around like a cold steady rain
Just stay in when it’s looking this way

And the moon’s laying low in the sky
Forcing everything metal to shine
And the sidewalk holds diamonds like the jewelry store case
They argue walk this way, now walk this way

And Laura’s asleep in my bed
As I’m leaving she wakes up and says
“I dreamed you were carried away on the crest of a wave
Baby don’t go away, come here”

And there’s kids playing guns in the street
And ones pointing his tree branch at me
So I put my hands up I say “enough is enough,
If you walk away, I’ll walk away”
And he shot me dead

I found a liquid cure
From my landlocked blues
It’ll pass away like a slow parade
It’s leaving but I don’t know how soon

And the world’s got me dizzy again
You think after 22 years I’d be used to the spin
And it only feels worse when I stay in one place
So I’m always pacing around or walking away
I keep drinking the ink from my pen
And I’m balancing history books up on my head
But it all boils down to one quotable phrase
If you love something, give it away

A good woman will pick you apart
A box full of suggestions for your possible heart
But you may be offended and you may be afraid
But don’t walk away, don’t walk away

We made love on the living room floor
With the noise in background of a televised war
And in the deafening pleasure I thought I heard someone say
“If we walk away, they’ll walk away”

But greed is a bottomless pit
And our freedom’s a joke
We’re just taking a piss
And the whole world must watch the sad comic display
If you’re still free start running away
Cause we’re coming for you!

I’ve grown tired of holding this post
I feel more like a stranger each time I come home
So I’m making a deal with the devils of fame
Saying “let me walk away, please”
You’ll be free child once you have died
From the shackles of language and immeasurable time
And then we can trade places, play musical graves
Till then walk away, walk away

So I’m up at dawn
Putting on my shoes
I just want to make a clean escape
I’m leaving but I don’t know where to
I know I’m leaving but I don’t know where to

It’s pretty crazy how much all this blog action has changed The Tribe. I’ve always spent some time working on the website during most normal work days…and spent the rest of the time just browsing the rest of the web. (Kidding…kidding…seriously…)

But really, the last week or so…I pretty much have given up on the rest of the internet, and just study the blogs. The links from the blogs, the comments on the blogs and their associated links, the google indexes for various blog pages, the log files from the blogs…everything….it’s madness I tell you.

The really killer thing about it, is that now we sit two weeks into the blog experiment here at The Tribe, and already there is a quite impressive amount of associative information. You can read just links from the blogs, never using a web search engine, and at a browsing depth of 1 (meaning you read only the blogs themselves, or links from them, not links from links from the blogs…or so on) it still takes an incredible amount of time.

That is one of the reasons I don’t worry about The Tribe proper having any problems transitioning to the blogs and dealing with it while maintaining it’s cohesiveness. We can all kinda pingback and trackback each others more or less private blogs, and still have a cohesive, chronologically correct discussion of a topic. Only each individual author basically gets to decide the entire look and feel of their post.

Not only that, the blogs connect The Tribe into the web in a way the message board, since it was non-indexed for obvious reasons, never would have. (PS: If anyone wants to know how to keep their blog from showing up in google, I can show you.)

So, yeah I’m buzzed and spend way too much time on the internet, on this website, or while thinking about this website or the internet in general…or everything in general…or something….

Many of you probably don’t know this, or believe it. But I’ve never read the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. I haven’t actually read any Douglas Adams, ever. I’m embarrassed, considering the rave reviews it appears literally everyone in the universe has given him. So when I was in the book store wandering around for hours the other day, I noticed The Ultimate Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and decided the time had come to chock it up and dive in. It’s all 6 of the Hitchhiker “Trilogy” books, or something, I guess. I don’t really know.

I haven’t got far, and don’t have much to say about it at this point, but it seems like a fun read. I rarely read fiction at all, and when I do, I have a tendency to give up part way though, which makes this massive volume seem daunting…but we’ll see.

Headlines: Blair Was Warned War Could Be Ruled Illegal

Poor Tony Blair. I really liked him when he was first elected. I mean, clearly almost anyone would have been better than Thatcher, but he seemed like an OK guy. In fact, he still seems like an OK guy, which makes me feel worse for him getting all caught up in the mess our administration has chosen to make of the world.

Now I don’t let him off the hook entirely, he still went right along with it all. But he didn’t really have any choice, such is the fate of lapdogs and all. At least until the time the E.U. starts to overtake the U.S. and the Euro becomes the trading standard and the U.S. collapses…but hey, that’s probably a few years off still.

This is particuarly bad for Blair though. See, in England, their press is still “free”. Not completely free mind you, but it at least tries to make itself look vaguely free. And one of the ways it does that is by printing articles that are actually critical of the government when they do massively illegal things like violating international law by invading a sovereign nation without the agreement of the U.N. It’s a nice trick, one I wish our own media would try out. Sure, we can rail on and on about a blowjob, but even mentioning that it might be worth considering how terribly illegal unprovoked invasions are get’s you the “Osama Eyes” from people, like you’re about to pull out a box cutter and start a jihad right there.

All I can hope is that some of the flack comes back on our Administration. Certainly we won’t hear about it here, but if the brits knew it was an illegal war, we must have known too. (Of course, we just don’t care about such things.)

It’s really amazing how much we let our government get away with, and how short our memories are. I mean, looking back over TV footage of interviews with Cheney and Bush and Rumsfeld leading up to the war is an exercise in frustration. They tell one lie, then completely contradict it, get called out on it, and deny ever saying either thing in the first place. They talk about mushroom clouds, then about how they never said nukes, they said chemical and biological weapons…Grrr..it’s so disgusting.

Anyway…I don’t know where I’m going with this. But it’s always nice to read news that reminds you that you aren’t crazy; the rest of the world knows our administration is out to a very evil lunch as well.

On A Math Equation That Never Even Ever Really Even Is In It And…

So I’m posting against my better judgement, but hey, truth kills or something…right?

Check it out….my username points almost everywhere but here as I post this.

I find it funny that thetribalunderground.net shows up at the top of the list, but after that, it’s me on kuro5hin.org the whole rest of the way pretty much…

Some bizarre shit I saw when I googled my blogs name.

Might be a book worth reading for me….just ’cause of the name I guess…

Endub didn’t believe it, and I don’t really either. But the honest truth is that the picture that is my header was taken off my moms back porch with my crappy sony 1.2 megapixel camera. All I did was crop a bit of it. Not that impressive, I know…but I like it. (Said picture has since been changed. 04/23/2005)
