Hey hey! Just thought I'd let you readers [all 3 of you!] know that I won't be posting at all next week. I'm off to the land of rain and granola to finally get started at school. I move in on Thursday but I'm still gonna be pretty busy up through the weekend. I'll try to fit in a comic/post or two though. I should be back up and running on September 29th. Who knows, maybe by that time I'll actually decide to do more than just draw comics and comment on articles. Maybe I'll actually write posts of substance! I won't get my hopes up though. I have a bad habit of never following through with anything. Maybe if people actually gave me some feedback on here I'd be a little more encouarged to make the blog into something. If only.. ALSO. Since I won't be posting tomorrow, as you can see, I put a Music Note at the end. Have a nice week[end]!

A.B.S.R.D. [I Am waaay too lazy/Busy/Stressed to think of Real words for this Damn acronym]

- I think this quote pretty much sums up the entire article "The bane of the dinosaurologist's life is species that have been named on the basis of incomplete specimens." Yeah, dinosaurolgist is probs the best word ever regarding dinos. I lol'd. [@bbc]

- While I sometimes get a little uncomfortable being in things that are underwater [tunnels, the Finding Nemo submarine tour ride at Disneyland, etc.] I think this is really, really cool! If it were being built in the US I'd def go to it. A trip to Egypt is a bit too pricey for me. [@national geographic]

- I love a good story and so does everybody else. But why? Jeremy Hsu gives us some insight. [@scientific american]

- I'm pretty sure I'm not at all alone in wondering what it'd be like to die. Or, well, at least have a near-death experience. Is there really a bright light? Are you actually mentally aware of what's going on as your body is dying? What about out-of-body experiences? Southampton University is coordinating a three year study of 1,500 cardiac arrest survivors to see just what the body is capable of experiencing during these moments of near-death. [@bbc]

- Yesterday I posted a TEDtalk about the moral differences of republicans and democrats. Today I'm posting an article about the biological differences between the two parties. [@newsweek]

- Tanaids, isopods, worms. OH MY! Hundreds of new species have been discovered in the reefs of Australia. Ooh and there's a video. Rock on. [@national geographic]

- Yet another attack ad is being distributed by the McCain camp. This time Obama is a big, wasteful spender and is going to make us pay for things that won't affect us. Yeah, um, no. Nice try though. [@the new republic]

- This is really just for Scott, my favorite viking. xoxo ♥ ♥ ♥ [@msnbc]

- Ughhhh, this financial crisis - and the government's eagerness to bail out every company that faces bankruptcy - is going to kill taxpayers. Bad form Washington. Bad form. [@time]


Music Note
[introducing you to the songs that make me feel bad about my swagger]

Artist: T.I. feat. Kanye West, Jay Z, L'il Wayne, and M.I.A.
Song: Swagger Like Us
Album: Paper Trail


Lyrics:
(M.I.A. Sample) Hook Repeats 2x
no one on the corner have swagger like us
swagger like us, swagger swagger like us
no one on the corner have swagger like us
swagger like us, swagger swagger like us
no one on the corner have swagger like us
swagger like us, swagger swagger like us
no one on the corner have swagger like us
swagger like us, swagger swagger like us

[Kanye West]

Mr. West is in the building
swagger on a hundred thousand, trillion
Ayo I know I got it first
I'm Christopher Columbus, y'all just the pilgrims
Thanksgiving do we even gotta question
Hermes Pastelle I pass the dressing
My attitude is tattooed
that means it's permanent, so I guess i should address it, huh?
My swagger is mick jagger
every time I breathe on the track I asthma attack it
Why he's so mad for, why he gotta have it
cuz I slaved my whole life, now I'm the master

Na-Na-Na, How it feel to wake up and be the shit and the urine Na-na-na-na-na
Trying to get that Kobe number, one over Jordan

(M.I.A. Sample)
no one on the corner have swagger like us
swagger like us, swagger swagger like us
no one on the corner have swagger like us
swagger like us, swagger swagger like us
no one on the corner have swagger like us
swagger like us, swagger swagger like us
no one on the corner have swagger like us
swagger like us, swagger swagger like us

[Jay-Z]

cheaaa

No one on the corner gotta bop like this
can't wear skinny jeans cuz my knots don't fit
No one on the corner gotta pocket like this
so I rock Roc jeans cuz my knots so thick
You can learn how to dress just by
jocking my fresh
jocking jocking my fresh
jocking jocking my fresh
Follow my steps, it's the road to success
where the niggas know you thoro
and the girls say yes
But I can't teach you my swag
you can pay for school but you can't buy class
School of hard knocks I'm a grad
and that all-blue yankee is my graduation cap,
it's Hovaaaaa!!!
Dipping different rovers whipping with the soda
Hovaaaaa!!!
Could u even have any doubt after doubt if its over

(M.I.A. Sample)
no one on the corner have swagger like us
swagger like us, swagger swagger like us
no one on the corner have swagger like us
swagger like us, swagger swagger like us
no one on the corner have swagger like us
swagger like us, swagger swagger like us
no one on the corner have swagger like us
swagger like us, swagger swagger like us

[Lil Wayne]

No one on the corner has swagger like moi, Church
but I'm too clean for these boys
I require what I desire I got stripes, A-di-das
Mami scream papi no mas
Run up in your shit just me no moss
Runnin this shit like I got four thighs
none has swagger like this four gods!
When it comes to styles I got several
sharper than a swagger, dagger all metal
And my jew-elz blue and yellow
the type of shit that make em call you Carmelo
Rules as follows stay true to the ghetto
write your name on the bullet make you feel special
Haaa!!!
What the f**k you boys talking about?
I know its us cuz we the only thing you talk about

(M.I.A. Sample)
no one on the corner have swagger like us
swagger like us, swagger swagger like us
(and I'm done)
no one on the corner have swagger like us
swagger like us, swagger swagger like us
(bye!)
no one on the corner have swagger like us
swagger like us, swagger swagger like us
no one on the corner have swagger like us
swagger like us, swagger swagger like us

[T.I.]
yea

ha!

ya think?

thats right

You go see Weezy for the wordplay,
Jeezy for the birdplay,
Kanyeezy for diversity and me for controversy,
All my verses picture perfect and they meant to serve a purpose, you ain't living what you kicking and you worthless,
Looking from the surface it may seem that I got reason to be nervous then observe my work and see that my adversity was worth it,
Verses autobiographical, absolutely classical,
last thing I'm worried 'bout is what another rapper do,
Ain't nobody hot as me even if they rap they ass off blast off and have outstanding qualities,
Sell alotta records I respect and salute that,
but spitting real life on hot beats I'm the truth at

You kick it like me no exaggeration necessary,
living revolutionary, nothing less than legendary,

Gangsta shit hereditary, got it from my dad
flow colder than February with extraordinary swag

(M.I.A. Sample) Hook Repeats 2x (T.I. Adlibs)
no one on the corner have swagger like us
swagger like us, swagger swagger like us
no one on the corner have swagger like us
swagger like us, swagger swagger like us
no one on the corner have swagger like us
swagger like us, swagger swagger like us
no one on the corner have swagger like us
swagger like us, swagger swagger like us
