I am bugged by a few things right now for whatever reason.
- I really don’t like it when people hate shit just because it’s popular. You know who they are. “Oh, I don’t understand what makes this person so great. Blah blah blah…” And they dare to question someone’s credibility simply because a lot of people like it. Pop doesn’t always equal evil.
- I hate it when people don’t get shit. Third eye blind type mofos that refuse to accept something simply because it’s different. You know the type, you have to spell shit out for them in order for them to get it.
- I don’t like these clique-ish kids that are blogging right now. They range in age from 13-20, have these obnoxious-ass sites, and constantly perpetuate this immature elitist attitude simply because they know a thing or two about Photoshop. Yet these little fucks can’t write for shit. (email me for examples)
- No shade to the south (especially since I’ve just returned from there) but a lot of the hip-hop that comes out of there is straight-up bullshit. Have I said this before? Ok, I’ll say it again. Aside from Ludacris and Outkast, a lot of that shit is just shit and it’s all over the radio here. DC is just stupid for liking this shit. And what’s up with the way most of the rappers down there look? Do you have to look fucking destitute in order to get a record deal?
- I hate it when when motherfuckers don’t know how to fucking be patient.
- These ghetto-ass broads that call in to the radio station are the downfall of society.
- This cold-ass weather is bullshit.
Ok, enough of that.
I really didn’t do much this weekend. Yesterday I hung out with Rocka and Ray to drop a few jewels on designing, coding, etc. I just got finished scanning some pics from a few mags at a friend’s. Needed some images for a few projects since designing doesn’t just “happen”, contrary to popular belief.
I am debating whether not I should start writing again. I am the type of person that, whenever I do something new, I immediately want to show it to my friends, whether I’m done or not. People usually tell me some shit I don’t wanna hear. Not like I cannot take criticism, I welcome it when it’s constructive and when it’s a criticism specific to what I asked you for. I am never the person to show you a sample and say “what do you think?”, because chances are, I really don’t give a shit what you think overall. I am more likely to ask “Is it funny? Is it readable? Does it move?”, you know, I am asking for very specific critiques, not everything else you think. Very few people I know are able to grasp this concept. So now it’s hard for me to know who to show what to without wanting to slap the living shit out of them for telling me some extra shit.
And let me be completely honest right now. Most of the people I deal with offline are straight-up boneheads. Friends or not. I just find it sad as hell that most of the people I’ve come to know. love and trust were discovered online. Ok? Let’s talk about that shit for a minute! Why should we have to go online to find like-minded individuals? Why are our real-life friends on some other shit? Why don’t they get it? Why is it that the people I deal with online are the ones that are helping me find work, keeping money in my account, and providing me with traveling opportunities? What the fuck is that about? Why can’t the people I’ve known for 10+ years do that shit?
If you are having that same issue, I encourage you to think about it really hard.
Back to the writing thing. I’d like to go ahead and get back on the ball like I was before I was forced to completely wipe-out my harddrive. But I am really discouraged. Mostly by what I said earlier. I am thinking about writing a little serial for this site, ending each chapter with a cliffhanger and enabling comments from the readers. What do you think? Good idea? Bad idea? Let me know. Perhaps that will ease me back into the groove.
Until next time, I am all out of ideas. One.
great entry…I understand the wanting to show but not really wanting to deal with the comments….
So what u sayin’? Lil John, East Side Boyz, Yin Yang Twinz and the rest of the ATL Crew grate on your nerves?
I wonder if we can get them to do a hip hop version of The Wiz.. All the above fill out most of the cast, with Lil John playing the lead Flying Monkey (per Karsh). LOL
Nova, you must didn’t get the memo? It has been mandated that you must be ghetto as hell when calling the radio stations. It’s a prerequisite to getting through to give shout outs to Sha Sha nem and Killa. And yeah being from Georgia, the music is straight up on the bullshitty side.
That’s all I gots to say about those peeves. I am laughing my ass off over here. But I agree with you about the whole online friends vs. offline friends. Maybe if these mofos had blogs, then we could see how they really were and then could have adequate time to stay away, hm?
And do those cliffhangers! If you write, I’ll don the Tibbar for the Li’l Jon re-enactment.
It is so nice to have my name dropped…please continue to do it whenever you get the feeling…You should definitely do the serial…Didn’t I say the same thing over the weekend?
nOverrrrr I am so feeling you on the online/offline friend thing. I’ve told a person online some secrets that I can’t even tell my “closest” real life friends. It really is a damn shame that most of our offline friendships are found to be sorely lacking. Makes you want to sit down and really reexamine your relationships.
I saw the picture of the model you used for your layout. So I realize that it’s not Poser. Very nice effect! I also love your gallery! Awesome poses. Are you a professional model or did you just have fun pretending to be one on those days?
I agree about the elitist, immature bloggers. I’m just glad someone else sees what I see. I was getting turned off for awhile because of them.
Well, have a great week!
Sooner or later, you’ll end up just like Prime and love the Yin Yang Twins. I can feel it.
Now as for opinions….take them as they come and filter through the things that are constructive. We know too many people who will speak their mind and once they do, that’s just it. *Their mind*.
Write a serial for the site. I’ve seen you write, and if Tom Joyner’s Morning Show can post a serial that’s been alive as long as he’s been a DJ, then who says you can’t bring the same ideas to the blogspace?
Then again, you’re going to do it anyway because, well, you’re N0va, right?
I love the new layout! And I fell you 100% on the online vs. offline friends. Don’t you feel like you are talking to either family or your bestest of best friends on line and you could kill your offline buddies? Anyway…you should do the writing thing! Don’t let what others say deter you.
happy monday n0va and i truly love this layout i’m so feeling the colors so beautiful good job.
okay i must admit i can talk to some online peeps better than my real life friends i don’t know what it is but it’s true and i’m lol @ you saying your online friends have helped you more than your real friends, thats a shame, guess that shows you who your real friends are.
“Why should we have to go online to find like-minded individuals? Why are our real-life friends on some other shit?”
THANK YOU!!!! I’ve been trying to figure out the same thing. I look at some of my friends through a whole new glass … like hmmm … why can’t you be more like ______.com?!?!
I understand you on hating things because it’s popular, but what about liking it because it’s pop. Isn’t that equally as annoying?
I think it’s easier to find like minded people online because you can cut to the chase. It’s like shopping for friends and conversation. Everything is pretty contained. I can read about some of the things you’re into and think and if I’m with it then I’ll engage in communication. If I’m not then “poof – be gone”. It’s not as easy as that in real life. It’s much harder to find connections and more dynamics are thrown into the picture that sway judgement. I was going to write more, but suddenly I got lazy and my fourth toe on my left foot itches and I’m trying to figure out how I can make it go away without taking my shoe off. Gotta run.
My theory on the online vs offline friends thing is we only get to read each other’s words online. We are communicating and relating on a whole different level. Offline we sometimes pick friends for tenuous reasons–we like the way they look or speak, they live nearby, we met in a club, etc. We never enjoy the depth of conversation with these people because we never have to.
I agree with Bernie (surprise). Now about that serial, go right ahead – I’m interested.
Oh yeah, and about… fuck it. Too much shit in this post, boo. We’ll chat later.
I would agree with the online/offline friend thing…but uh..I have no offline friends. So yeah..
Them fools like Yin Yang twins, Lil John and such…SUCK! Leeser knows how much I hate that crap. Apparently they ain’t “rapping” to be good…it’s more just a chant thing. Right leeser? Either way it’s doodoo to me.
I would SO love to read some of your stuff, nOvito! Write away!
I’m out.
