Drinking Monkey

Posted on by saracanite

With one of these guys as my constant shoulder bro, I may never have succumbed to all of those instances of accidental reflective moral inventory that have peppered my many long years of near constant alcohol induced stupor. This could have saved me many, many a night of involuntary contemplation of my own soul destroying loneliness… Sitting slumped in my worn and crackled wingback chair staring blankly at some point in space that can’t quite be reconciled with any of the room’s effects… The ice melting calmly in my glass as the fog of reverie begins to dissipate in the light of the television’s static, revealing the anxious disarray of my squalid apartment… Usually listening to a song on infinite repeat while the transient rough trade punk to whom I’d offered a place to sleep begins to grow uneasy of my apparent catatonia….

Ultimate Flash Face v0.42b

I have to confess, this flash based police-sketch-artist-like tool was much more awesome when I first saw it in ’07. That was years before my first iPhone-gasm.

I spent a disturbing amount of time approximating my face with different beard/mustache combos. Alas, no matter how I arrange it, I always come out looking like a villain from a 60’s science fiction series.

A Woman From the Inside to the Out -at Pelourinho.com

The above link will take you to a neat flash animation of a woman being drawn starting from the inside and concluding on the outside.

Sorry guys. Although I find this very interesting, I think this would be much improved if the drawing was started with the vagina.   …like how I expected…

I suppose it’s time for me to take a break from 4chan for a while…

Modern Drunkard Magazine

This is a great site and a great magazine. It’s about consuming copious amounts of alcohol, but in a gentlemanly fashion.

They’re fighting that sterile American mindset that has been so encouraged for the last few years. You know, ever since they stopped treating us like citizens and started treating us like we’re Wal-Mart associates (no offense you any of you actual mouth-breathing Wal-Mart associates out there given you can actually read) These guys are all about taking back the class and attitude of a by-gone era, when people drank and didn’t take it so seriously as they do today.

These days we’re all so afraid of everything. Hey, back in the old days when everyone drank, there were D.U.I.s and people wrecking cars into telephone poles and all that stuff; but when they did, they said, “That’s the way it goes.”

Life goes on because there are more important things to worry about. These days, a fella gets the book thrown at him because he had four beers before driving home, and everyone acts like he ran his car into a church on Sunday morning. When the hell did we all become such pussies? Hey, forget this guaranteed survival bullshit. Give me a life worth celebrating.

Hey you know what else? Sometime people die. Good! Last I checked there were too damn many of us anyway. Are you telling me we should demonize one of the few universal solutions to tolerating our futile existence on this old cinder… Just because we want those among us that have no willpower or survival instinct to LIVE? And pass on their reckless defective genes to their offspring?

Well sir, if that’s how you feel about it; I’m sorry to say that I not only sternly disagree with you, but I would also request that you oblige me by vigorously fucking yourself . If you’re too dumb to live, I’m sorry to report, you should DIE. Give me the freedom to wipe from the slate, the mockery that is my life, through acts of subconscious oblivion.

Hell, you take away the booze, and you find out what nobody wants to face: That without it, or any other social excuse for misbehavior, we’ll still be a mob of selfish assholes anyway.

Booze has been here along side man longer than recorded civilization. Who’s to say we could have pulled it all off without it?

Fair Winds and Following Seas

Posted on by saracanite

Attention my friends:

I know that I’ve been absent from the scene for some time now, largely because every change made by SU just ran her further and further into the ground.
This new phalanx of alterations serves only to hammer in those last few nails into the coffin.

Although my activity has been little more than lurking for this last year, I am very sad to see the old girl die. In those heady early days of CSS themes and posting youtube videos or music player; I learned allot, had a thousand laughs, and made virtual friends with people around the globe. It may sound romantic, but I consider it a significant time in my life that I would never trade for anything. It was what a Social Networking was supposed to be. A chance for people to share with one another, something personal, interesting, and clever. Something that wasn’t made for the Lowest Common Denominator. It was a beautiful thing to participate in.

I will miss you all more than you know.

At this point, I would like to point out that this self destruction of SU must be intentional. They have removed virtually everything but the reviews, and the blog aspect was the only reason anyone wrote the goddamn reviews in the first place. You sterilize the blogs and there will be no reviews. Then what is SU? Thumbs up or thumbs down? That’s it. These changes are not stupidity. They are calculated moves, so I ask you; to what end?

The intention is not to enhance our “Stumbling Experience” as they claim, but to destroy the thing and to create an analogous tool with a sounder business model. Money.
Why not just pull the plug outright? Probably contractual obligations to sponsors or investors. Money.

Whatever the specifics, the reasons are clearly a lie, and this great thing is coming to an end, probably to be replaced with something that behaves exactly like this one did when it was good, except eviler. The bottom line: Whoever wants these changes care little for SU and less for the community.

I’ve been trying to start again with a blogspot account, but I confess, I’ve lost my momentum. I hope to hear from some of you through it

I will also continue to use whatever is left of SU and check my messages until the motherfucker finally tanks if for no other reason than to be a nuisance.

This will be my last review and I will be thumbing down everything that isn’t pornography from now on. My only regret is I never reviewed a review of someone’s review of something.
