Tyler Durden

There will be no loyalty, except loyalty towards the Party. There will be no love, except the love of
Big Brother. There will be no laughter, except the laugh of
triumph over a defeated enemy. There will be no art, no
literature, no science. When we are omnipotent we shall have no
more need of science. There will be no distinction between
beauty and ugliness. There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment
of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be
destroyed. But always -- do not forget this, Winston -- always
there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing
and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there
will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an
enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future,
imagine a boot stamping on a human face -- for ever.'

He paused as though he expected Winston to speak. Winston
had tried to shrink back into the surface of the bed again. He
could not say anything. His heart seemed to be frozen. O'Brien
went on:

'And remember that it is for ever. The face will always be
there to be stamped upon. The heretic, the enemy of society,
will always be there, so that he can be defeated and humiliated
over again. Everything that you have undergone since you have
been in our hands -- all that will continue, and worse. The
espionage, the betrayals, the arrests, the tortures, the
executions, the disappearances will never cease. It will be a
world of terror as much as a world of triumph.'

-- 1984

President Forever

Thu, 08 Jul 2004 18:39:44 GMT

I'm president forever
I'm head of state and here to stay
The officer elect all of your life
I'm the leader 'till the end of your days

I'm president forever
Accountable to no one no more
Daddy look at me, I'm a big boy now
A brat to the manor born

Who wants to go back to war with Iraq?
Who wants to shoot a sling shot full of rocks of crack?
Who wants to go and give the French their fuckin' statue back?
I want to take it all

I'm president forever
America, you found your man
If we can all agree on this one thing
You know you'll never have to vote again

I'm president forever
I finally get to do it my way
I wanna take a ride in Air Force One now

Laugh in the face of the national debt
I wanna build the free world and make them pay back rent
I wanna take the statue back from the fuckin' French
Dad, i'll make you proud

I'm president forever

Piss up and down the walls of the Oval Office
Pal around with the boys in the secret service
Calling my connection for a party at Camp David
The first lady's not invited
The first lady's not invited

I'm president forever
I'm president forever

Who wants to go back to war with Iraq
Who wants to shoot a slingshot full of rocks of crack
Who wants to go and give the French their fuckin' statue back
I wanna take it all

Laugh in the face of the national debt (take it all, take it all)
I wanna build the free world and make them pay back rent (take it all, take it all)
I wanna take the statue back from the fuckin' French (take it all, take it all)
Dad, i'll make you proud (take it all, take it all)

I'm president forever

-Local H, "President Forever"

"We were recording No Fun and it was going to be a five-song EP. But we had this song called 'President Forever' and I thought we should record it and get it on the record. I was kind of pissed that because of the political climate, people were afraid to criticize that asshole, and I think that sucks. So I wanted to do something. And then we got the artwork for the EP and I just thought that was great."

"...and for just $.99 your likeness will appear, two hundred feet tall, on a screen above downtown Las Vegas. Ninety-nine cents more for a voice message. "Say whatever you want, fella. They'll hear you, don't worry about that. Remember you’ll be two hundred feet tall."

Jesus Christ. I could see myself lying in bed in the Mint Hotel, half-asleep and staring idly out the window, when suddenly a vicious nazi drunkard appears two hundred feet tall in the midnight sky, screaming gibberish at the world: "Woodstock Uber Alles!"

We will close the drapes tonight. A thing like that could send a drug person careening around the room like a Ping-Pong ball. Hallucinations are bad enough. But after a while you learn to cope with things like seeing your dead grandmother crawling up your leg with a knife in her teeth. Most acid fanciers can handle this sort of thing. But nobody can handle that other trip - the possibility that any freak with $1.98 can walk into the Circus-Circus and suddenly appear in the sky over downtown Las Vegas twelve times the size of God, howling anything that comes into his head. No, this is not a good town for psychedelic drugs. Reality itself is too twisted."

What Makes the SubWay Diet so Effective

Tue, 29 Jun 2004 03:37:12 GMT

This just might be the dumbest journal entry in the history of LiveJournal, but I don't care. Once I start thinking about something, I can't stop until I either type it out or tell someone...

I have a small problem with the morons who work behind the counter at SubWay. Just a little one. However, I might not want to use the word "little", because apparently, the idiots don't know what the word means.

We go to SubWay tonight to get something for dinner. I order what I usually order: Spicy Italian sub with cheddar. They ask if I want lettuce and mayo, I say "sure..a little bit." I'm not the world's biggest fan of lettuce or mayo. I don't like it at all. Honestly, if the only food left on this planet was lettuce, I'd die. I don't like it, but for the sake of not paying $5 for nothing but meat at SubWay is kind of dumb when I can go across the street to the grocery store and buy the same meat for $2, I'll live with the lettuce and mayo.

Anyway, as soon as I said "sure..." the person behind the counter proceeds to pour a little more than a gallon of mayo on the sandwich, and then plunges their hand into the bin of lettuce. I don't know why they had to stick their hand so far in. I'm assuming it's to pluck the lettuce straight for it's origin - the fiery depths of hell. Seriously. There's no other plausible reason why.

Since when did "a little bit" mean "toss on a couple pounds"?? I spent at least 10 minutes when we got home dumping out at least 80% of the lettuce. During those 10 minutes, I swear my stomach was eating itself. Then I thought to myself "hey...maybe this is how all those people lost so much weight on the SubWay diet..they starved themselves while picking off 27 pounds of excess lettuce!"

Randomnessity (Again)

Sun, 27 Jun 2004 03:33:17 GMT

...Newest polls on Bush: War a Mistake? 54% YES, 44% NO, War Brings More Danger to the States? 55% YES, 47% NO. Take that, you redneck asshole! Ahem...

...I saw on the news that 3 Turkish citizens have been kidnapped and the people responsible are threatening to cut off their heads if Turkey doesn't cut off ties with the States...hmmm..I wonder how this will turn out?...

...Apparently, you make a Jayme Cocktail with 5 parts friendliness, 3 parts humor, and 3 parts instinct, along with a sprinkle of curiosity. Mmmmm...tasty.

...The Tantric concert that was supposed to be tomorrow has been canceled. I don't know why I'm putting this in here, since I wasn't going anyway and don't really care, but alas, here it is.

...Just looking at MSN's music page, I see that William Hung's "She Bangs" is the #1 video. What the hell?! This is almost as bad as the Beastie Boys trying to stick around!

...Aaaaaand last (but definately not least), I saw a movie on CBS tonight called "Keeping the Faith" or something like that..it had Ben Stiller in it. I don't know why, but it made me think of you..I'm getting the feeling that tomorrow is going to be hard as hell to get through without talking to you a lot. I hate your mom. Seriously. Ugh...

TRAVISHAMOCKERY!

Sat, 26 Jun 2004 03:16:14 GMT

"This is a travesty! A shame! A mockery! It's a...TRAVISHAMOCKERY!!"

...Those Miller "President of Beers" commercials get stuck in my head waaaaaay too easily...

Only in Wisconsin...

Sat, 19 Jun 2004 03:39:03 GMT

I'm watching the news and saw that some little ice cream shop in Wisconsin has come out with a beer flavor for ice cream, thus combining the only two good things about Wisconsin. From what I've heard, it's supposed to taste pretty good. What I'm wondering though is if they also come in the Lite flavors..? What about all that carb-counting all the beer companies are doing now? Are we going to start hearing "Brand A has 1/2 the calories of Brand B, but it all goes to hell when you mix it in with ice cream"?

Wouldn't you get the same effect by substituting the Root Beer of a Root Beer Float with actual beer? Why would you waste the extra time to pour the beer into the machine while you're making regular vanilla? I mean...if you take long enough with the Float, the ice cream'll melt and you'll be left with the same exact thing..

What's sad is that I might lose sleep over this. I'll get thinking about it and before I know it, it'll be 2 AM. I think way too much when I shouldn't be. It's amazing that I can concentrate so hard on something like beer-flavored ice cream and then do everything on a Geometry final exam completely half-assed.

Boredom's a Bitch and Other Random Ramblings

Fri, 18 Jun 2004 03:05:25 GMT

I am sooooooo incredibly bored right now. Everyone except for me went to a dumb musicical being performed at the school and I have absolutely nothing to do. I've resorted to watching Seinfeld while eating Lucky Charms with my fingers. Very civilized. I've gone through a list in my mind on what I could do...

I could play PS2, but committing random acts of violence in Grand Theft Auto has shockingly become boring. No longer do I get amused by beating up hookers with baseball bats or throwing grenades at gang members. No longer do I get a laugh from going on rocket launcher rampages, blowing up cars and shooting down police helicopters. It's not even fun to steal a random car and drive on the sidewalks. Holy shit..I must be getting more mature!
I could watch a movie, but we don't have any good ones that I haven't seen a billion times. Watching Bob Barker beating the shit out of Adam Sandler in "Happy Gilmore" is only funny the first few thousand times I see it. It's sad when I'm damn close to knowing every line in the movie.
I could download some new songs, but my computer's too goddamn slow to download a 3 minute song in less than an hour while I keep clicking "Redeal" while playing Solitaire until I get a good start. I'm not that bored.

I could really use a good book to read or something right now. It's been a few months since I've read a book. Hopefully I'll be able to get to the library and look around there or something sometime soon. Any suggestions?

...I think being a stand-up comedian would kick tons of ass. It would rock my socks. It's got to be the best job in the world. You get paid to be a smartass. It's great. I could totally do it. Getting people to laugh might be a problem, though. Sure, I can make a few people laugh, but I don't know about a sold out arena. Hell, getting an entire bar of alcoholics completely drunk off their ass to laugh at my jokes might be a little hard. Another bad thing about the comedian thing is that it takes a long time to get noticed. There's so many comedians out there that it's hard to find a new one every once and awhile that's worth a decent amount of money. The last thing I want is to be worse off financially than my parents...

...Irony has a funny way of working out in the end. After this jerk off stole a ball from a 4 year old kid at a Texas Rangers baseball game, the guy ended up getting booed out of the stadium. By the end of the game, the kid had a baseball signed by one of the players, the player's own bat, and tickets to the rest of Texas' home games. Here's the funny part..the asshole who stole the ball from the kid is a youth minister. The guy ended up giving the ball back to the kid a couple days later. So here's a quick summary: The kid got two baseballs, an authentic MLB bat, and season tickets. The jackass got nothing, except for a reputation as a jerk throughout the state of Texas...

...Hey...guess what? It's raining again! 38th time in 40 days! Half of Wisconsin's counties are applying for disaster relief because of flooding. It's funny how last year, we didn't have rain for a little more than two months in the summer, and now half the plants are dying because they're drowning. We set an all-time record for rainfall in the month of May, and this has already been the 3rd rainiest June of all time. "Rain, rain, go away...GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE AND NEVER COME BACK!!"...

And every time I hate myself
You love me, forgive me
And every time I lose myself
You find me, redefine me

Yeah your heaven is a lie,
Just more shit that I don't buy..
Well they're headin' for the coast,
They're movin' out in droves,
They're sendin' back reports on the radio..
Their message is the same,
It's gettin' pretty lame,
The California dreamings on the radio

And here we go again,
It's never gonna end,
We're all so sick of California songs!
Yeah we know you love L.A.,
There's nothin' left to say,
Please no more California songs!

Yeeeeeaaaaah here we go again,
It's never gonna end,
We're all so sick of California songs!

But there's nothin' left to say,

AND FUCK NEW YORK, TOO!!

Alright...

Here's one for the coast...

YEEEEAAAAH HERE WE GO AGAIN

PLEASE NO MORE CALIFORNIA SONGS!
PLEASE NO MORE CALIFORNIA SONGS!
PLEASE NO MORE CALIFORNIA SONGS!
PLEASE NO MORE CALIFORNIA SONGS!

A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

Stress Sucks

Fri, 30 Apr 2004 02:14:48 GMT

My headache's gone, so of course my back has to start hurting. My stomach is feeling fine, so of course my muscles are feeling sore now. I need to sleep, but I'm not tired anymore. Thank god tomorrow's Friday, though...I'm exhausted.

I'm so tired I can't sleep

Weight Is Off My Shoulders

I always feel better while talking to you than I did before. Every time we talk I can just forget about what was bothering me before and drop everything I was doing before because you never fail to make me smile and laugh. I love the fact that just the thought of you talking to me helps sooth any pain I had beforehand. Every time you make me laugh, you take the stress away and remind me why I love you so much.

I love you princess, and I know you feel the same way. <3

Parents Fucking Suck

Sun, 25 Apr 2004 21:23:23 GMT

I don't mean this to sound like a typical rebellious statement from a teenager, but it's the truth: at least 98% of parents in this world have to suck. They just have to. There's not a doubt in my mind.

This isn't a case of "OMG I JST HAD A FIHGT WITH MY PARINTS! TEHY SUK!! I H8 DEM LOLZ!" I'm not a 13 year old girl. I have reasoning behind everything I say.

I say parents suck because they just refuse to see things our way. They either refuse to, or they're too goddamn ignorant to think of anything else. If they find something that doesn't conform with everything else they've seen in their lifetime, it's suddenly dumb and the people who made it are on dope. WHAT THE HELL IS THE REASONING BEHIND THAT?!

The world has changed, believe it or not. No longer do kids just sit there and take shit from their extraordinarily ignorant parents, listening to them lecturing on how things used to be "when you were my age". But even though how much the world has changed, how much progress some parents have made in trying to actually understand their kids instead of labeling them as a failure with no aspirations to do anything, there are still millions of people out there who think that they're doing a good job of parenting.

To make a long story short, I'm sick of parents thinking they're all high and mighty because they made us. The "I brought you into this world, I can sure as hell take you out of it!" line is getting old. They should really think of a better excuse for when they think of something incredibly moronic to say. I've had enough of this shit. I'm not going to laugh at his dumb little jokes, kiss his ass, or be his bitch just because he bought me a goddamn car. I swear to god, once I'm through with college, I'm through with him. If he wants to be such an ass around me, telling me to my face that I'm his least favorite by far, then I don't need to deal with that kind of shit. I won't.

Who knows, maybe I'm just overreacting. Maybe it's all the frustration from the past 24 hours getting to me. Maybe it's because I miss you so much that I have nothing to tell me I'm being dumb about this. I don't know. Whatever it is, I hope it gets better soon. I love you so much that it hurts more and more every hour I can't be talking to you.

I Believe In A Thing Called Love

Wed, 21 Apr 2004 01:33:33 GMT

Can't explain all the feelings that you're making me feel
My heart's in overdrive and you're behind the steering wheel

Touching you, touching me
touching you, god you're touching me

I believe in a thing called love
Just listen to the rhythm of my heart
There's a chance we could make it now
We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down
I believe in a thing called love
Ooh!

I wanna kiss you every minute, every hour, every day
You got me in a spin but everythin' is A.OK!

Touching you, touching me
touching you, god you're touching me

I believe in a thing called love
Just listen to the rhythm of my heart
There's a chance we could make it now
We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down
I believe in a thing called love
Ooh! Guitar!

Touching you, touching me
touching you, god you're touching me

I believe in a thing called love
Just listen to the rhythm of my heart
There's a chance we could make it now
We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down
I believe in a thing called love
Ooh!
=====
I MISS YOU!!!

Español es mucho suck-o

Thu, 01 Apr 2004 03:07:44 GMT

Odio español. El español es mudo. El español es la lengua peor del mundo. Deseo batir el infierno fuera de la gente que lo inventó, y de la gente que lo trajo a este lado del planeta. Odio todos los profesores españoles para ser tales perras del total y pienso que deben arrastrarse en un agujero y morir una muerte dolorosa lenta. También odio los translaters españoles, que se parecen siempre atornillar encima de la traducción de inglés al español. La única razón por la que tomo a españoles es hacerse mirada mejor para la universidad, y me incluso no piensa que está digno de ella. Buen dios de mierda odio español.

( I hate Spanish. Spanish is dumb. Spanish is the worst language in the world. I want to beat the hell out of the people who invented it, and the people who brought it to this side of the planet. I hate all Spanish teachers for being such total bitches and think they should crawl into a hole and die a slow painful death. I also hate Spanish online translaters, which always seem to screw up the translation from English to Spanish. The only reason why I take Spanish is to make myself look better for college, and I don't even think it's worth it. Good fucking god I hate Spanish..)
