Sucking lately

Posted by Asad | General | Friday 27 May 2005 1:27 am

Yeah I know, the blog has been sucking lately, it’s a combination of some personal and professional issues. I am on my 5th boss in 14 months. Kind of burnt out from doing start ups and thinking of quitting and doing something different.
I’ll be back when I have something better to write.
oh and I am not giving up on the iranblog project, I just don’t have the energey for it right now.

Bias

cnn
You know even though I am used to it I was still surprised by the bias in CNN. Check out this story.

Note this paragraph
“Security closed in tightly around the first lady as the angry Muslim protesters — many expressing fury at the United States — came very close to Bush.”

Now this one
“Not far from the mosque, protesters forced Bush into another tight squeeze earlier Sunday at Judaism’s holy Western Wall.”

No need to mention that second group of protesters were Jewish and were protesting for the release of Jonathan Pollard. The article is misleading at best and just a piece of propaganda at worst, look at the uncivilized Muslims, look at how they attack anyone who comes near them. No need to mention that the Jewish population did the exact thing just a short distance away. In fact let’s try to pretend they were Muslims as well.

“The gular sac is a throat pouch that can be inflated, allowing the animal to make loud calls that resonate through the treetops,” Keller said. “More importantly, the pouch can be stuffed with nuts or dried fruits prior to roasting.”

No I eat out all the time, in fact I eat out for lunch almost every single day so I eating out is out, the next option is to get something pre-cooked and then heat it up but I was too lazy to go to the store so I looked in the fridge and I realized I still had hot dogs left over. yay,
1 hot dog
2 pieces of toasted whole wheat
2 cucumbers
1 packet of ketchup
1 glass of water
Then cook your dinner while you are thinking about this dinner.

Things that make my day. Click on image to see the full picture.

Pluto is pissing on a portrait of Mickey Mouse, while the real, bedraggled Mickey is shooting up heroin. His nephews are jerking off as they watch Goofy fucking Minnie Mouse on a combination bed and cash register. The beams shining out from Sleeping Beauty’s Castle are actually dollar signs. Dumbo is simultaneously flying and shitting on an infuriated Donald Duck. Huey, Dewey and Louie are peeking at Daisy Duck’s asshole as she watches the Seven Dwarfs groping Snow White. The prince is snatching a peek of Cinderella’s snatch while trying a glass slipper on her foot. The Three Little Pigs are humping each other in a daisy chain. Jiminy Cricket leers as Tinker Bell does a striptease and Pinocchio’s nose gets longer.

Toast and Penguin

Posted by Asad | General | Saturday 7 May 2005 2:57 pm

great penguin

Penguin: and then she said come heavy or don’t come at all. What’s that all about ? Why can’t we get along ?

Toast: I know, I was getting some butter the other day and she started to complain about how the jam always get preferential treatment. Do you see me whining about how the toaster doesn’t burn evenly ?

Penguin: It’s just not fair, I am the guy after all why do I have to keep the stupid egg on my feet all winter long. And then she wonders why I don’t like to make a commitment, cause then I have to stand on top of a stupid iceberg all winter long while she goes out with her friends.

Toast: at least you can have sex, I am just a piece of toast with butta problems.

Penguin: it’s over rated, you buy her some fish, you stick it in, flop your wings a few times and then it’s over. And stop being black, you are a white piece of toast afterall.

Toast: Brown, I am brown damn it, respect my street cred.

Penguin: I guess so
