Iraq’s a shame Four more years would be insane

The kids from the Ron Clark Academy performing live “You Can Vote However You Like,” a parody to TI’s “Whatever You Like”. Atlanta Georgia Ron Clark Academy.

I’m really hoping most of these brillant children will grow up and vote for someone liek Obama taking they aren’t even able to vote within this decade.

My favorite part is :
FORGET OBAMA
Stick with McCain and you’re going to have some drama

For some reason i can’t stop watching this clip. I think it gives me hope that there are youth out there en masse who are actually giving 2 shits about what’s going on politically within their country.  There is only one more day till the election and i’ve never been so nervouse for an election in my life.

I didn’t even care this much during the BUSH/GORE election. I’m looking for a paradigm shift within Obama because i think that even if not everyone is ready for the next revolution it’s just gotta come. We can’t wait around for another few years and hope people will catch on that this world needs a change. Racism, sexism and homophobia have been at the forefront of everyones psyches for the past 2 years and I’m glad that there are people out there like Bill Maher and Dr. Cornelius West dragging us with the skin of our teeth into the new life.

My question to the readers out there is: Do you think there will be riots is Obama doesn’t win?

because essentially what that will tell the 12% black population (at least) in the USA is: We don’t like or care for your kind still. It will send the message loud and clear that even though the Obama is hands down the better candadite the majority of Americans would rather continue killing innocent civilians, invading soverign and foreign countries in the name of democracy, and eradicating the middle class AS long as a black man isn’t in the (aryan) White Office doing it.

Will black people work on November 5th If Obama loses? What will happen if Obama loses?

FUCK FUCK FUCK. the thought makes me shiver

children killed in US bombings

If McCain/Palin wins…Pakistan you’re next!

Pakistan News from Global research just released this article (on my birthday!):

US Bombings of Pakistan: Unanimous Pakistani Senate resolution blasts US attacks

Resolution says attacks in Pakistan unfortunate, gross violation of sovereignty
Kamil Agha says no need for new resolution, government should implement joint parliamentary resolution

ISLAMABAD: The Senate on Monday strongly condemned missile attacks by US drones in Pakistani territory amidst parliamentarians’ demands for implementation of the resolution unanimously passed at the conclusion of the in-camera parliamentary session last week.

Leader of the House in Senate Raza Rabbani tabled a resolution in the House to condemn US drone attacks, which was endorsed unanimously. He assured the House that the US ambassador would be summoned to register Pakistan’s protest. He said the National Assembly speaker would constitute a committee to oversee the implementation of the unanimous resolution against terrorism passed by the in-camera session.

Unfortunate: The Senate resolution against drone attacks said strikes inside Pakistan were unfortunate and a gross violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty. The resolution underlined that continued incursions were harming the government’s efforts to seek a political solution through dialogue.

The House said such strikes were an effort to undermine parliament. It called on the government to ensure such attacks did not recur. The House called on the government to protest with the US as well as NATO and ISAF authorities, and to seek assurances for full respect of Pakistan’s sovereignty.

Sources say anywhere from 33 to 67 deaths, and hundreds of injuries occured from the 2 missile strikes.

AMERICAN JUST BOMBED ANOTHER SOVERIGN COUNTRY….for democracy and *cough cough* oil * cough*

GEARING UP 2 GET DOWN UPDATE

Both shows were a success!!

the most unflattering pic i could find of neil+ I

Actually, I didn’t even stay to watch The Drop Outs play at Wunderbar, but if the crowd was any indication of how good the show was, then it looked f’ing sweet. Everyone was in Halloween costumes and the air smelt like stale beer and peanuts. Phil looked dashing per usual and hardly conveyed his nervousness to me when i went to wish him well. In fact i think I was more nervous to see him than he was to play. i have a petite crush on him or something.. it’s the country/farmboy/pilot appeal. anywho. The Drop Outs looked fun, but i had to leave ASAP in order to not miss…

TANYA TAGAQ + CRIS DERKSEN play at the surreal ethereal set at McDougal United Church downtown. I was honestly blown away. I told Tanya this after the show and I’ll say it again: with the huge ceilings, the 50 ft organ pipes and amazing acoustics, it felt like i was ON LSD UNDER WATER. I walked into witnessing true art in it’s rawest form. Here is a clip i recorded from the show. not teh best angle but still leaves me breathless everytime.

Part 1/2

Part 2/2

Like Bjork, Tagaq makes music that is both decidedly unusual and universally appealing on a most primal level. Her innovative, solo style of throat singing seeks to push the boundaries of emotion and to express the primitive instincts she believes still reside deep within our flesh. She describes her evolution over the past six years as a process of going deeper and deeper into her performance to the point where she virtually “leaves her body” and lets the expression take over.

the last few seconds are the best when the song ends and you get to see her big smile!

Old news. New love.

and now i know why there are countless sites dedicated to Ellen Feiss a.k.a. the pc-now-mac girl.

like ellenfeiss.net !!! like wtf right?

within a 30 second commerical i have (once again) fallen in love with a girl i don’t even remotely know yet feel like i do.  I think it’s the part where she says ” …and then i had to write it again, fast, and it wasn’t as good” then does her little head bop thing… THAT (le sigh) right there, was the exact moment i realized this was no ordinary commerical crush, but the real deal. the real creeper deal.

I think people totally started to swoon over her because when the commercial was released everyone thought she was intoxicated on WEEEEEEEED or something and to be honest I kind’ve want that speculation to be true. It would add a whole new dynamic to her little good girl student spiel.

obviously i’m getting to into this, but at least i know i’m not the only one. so….fttttffppff

What do you think? isn’t she cute!

Big ups to dichoso for pointing out this viral video that everyone’s already seen.

Cris Derken+ Tanya Tagaq VS. The Drop Outs

Filed under: Uncategorized — dopetype @ 8:53 am

it’s the windiest day in history today here in Edmonton. the wind has already reached 95 km/hr and the sun isn’t even all the way up yet!

i’m hoping for a non-severe tornado to touch down for entertainment sake.

ANYWAYS. TONIGHT I”M GEARING UP TO GET DOWN AT 2 GREAT SHOWS IN EDMONTON.

we did this to him

we did this to him

The first being Cris Derksen and Tanya Tagaq’s show at McDougall Church downtown. Cris is my only favorite punk cellist who currently resides in East Van. Since moving back to Edmonton she is on my top 5 people i miss partying with. Cris will be accompanying the brillo Tanya Tagaq the Inuit throat singer who has travelled the world performing with amazing artists, one most noteably being BJORK. Together they make insano music that blows my mind. After the show the party will probably flow to PLAY Edmontons newest worst GAY BAR GAY BARRRR

*sorry no music uploaded for the Derksen/Taqac show, just trust me it’s damn gooooood.

Second being Phil Deanes band The Drop Outs…the show is at Wunderbar on whyte ave, and their band is the epitome of canadian punk rock. The lead singer (phils bro) has a great voice and i’m really excited to watch Phil nervously play tonight because in real life he is the most nervous shy man i have ever met.

forgive the recording it was done on my computer:  cancel that, i have no idea how to

Chichen Itza

Chichen Itza

i’m not sure if it’s just me but whenever i’d see pictures like this in Nat’l Geograpghic as a young girl i’d always have this overwhelming desire to visit that exact spot and just take a running jump off the highest summit. Obviously with this picture i would just hit the steep stairs and proceed to break every bone in my body before dying of pain and shock. BUT for some reason in thought it still just looks so appealing to take the chance…to just float down like a stunt wire was invisably attached somehow. anyhow.

life is rarely as fun as my dreams on any given day.

anyways i’m not going to jump off Chichen Itza…without a hang glider.

oh dear

oh dear

mehh right now i’m sitting up in bed trying to get E to pay attention to my one-handed typing. It’s not working, it’s failing miserably…

so i came up with a rap that i’m debating sending to her. I’m holding back because she may get snickety about the whole paying for education and 30 year old part. I’ll just leave this for the vault of my blog and focus on youtubing as many bill maher clips as possible.

what is to be said of the girl going to school?
soo ready to pay for the knowledge that she already knows.
see
i wouldn’t mind if you paid attention to me
although i have nothing to say
i wouldn’t mind your company
and
i don’t see what could be more important than well…me
a high risk, no return, broke deadbeat

if you dont have the time
then i guess that’s just fine
cuz i dont have the time to not make up wack ass rhymes,
so,
I guess at 30 u gotta get your shit in order
gotta line up your ducks, and get em ready for the slaughter

k… i’m stopping, this is even far to lame for even my personal blog

Jennifer Hudson’s Mother and Brother Shot To Death!

Filed under: Uncategorized — dopetype @ 9:59 pm
Jennifer Hudson

Jennifer Hudson

i pretty much am copy + pasting this from Perez

the only new news i have to add is there is now an Amber Alert out for the whereabouts of the 7 year old nephew!

Perez:

This is so horrible. Beyond words.

The mother of Oscar winning actress Jennifer Hudson has been killed.

Investigators said two shooting victims were discovered inside a home belonging to Hudson’s mother just before 3:00 PM on Friday.

The home is located at 7019 South Yale in Chicago’s Englewood neighborhood.

One of the victims was 57-year-old Darnell Hudson.

The other victim was identified as Jennifer’s brother, Jason. A cousin who lived nearby discovered the bodies.

Darnell was shot in the head and Jason was shot in the chest, according to a spokesman for the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

The shooting is believed to be domestic, police said.

Hudson is said to be flying to Chicago from Tampa.

Our thoughts to Jennifer during this incredibly difficult time.

Update: A search is under way for a young boy who is missing from the home. A child, possibly Jennifer Hudson’s 7-year-old nephew, Julian King, is missing, according to sources. Police are searching for an SUV that was seen in the area, a 1994 white Suburban, Illinois license plate number X584859.
