.BUSH! Let's now put a man on the Moon, you've now four more years to do it! Let's in fact build an entire Space Fleet! We have the technology, lets use it! We'll put missiles on every wing, and bombs in the tips! We'll build satellites with LASERS and cameras and sensors. But we won't use them to study the sun, but rather kill Muslims, hiding in caves, and mosques, and U.S. embassies, and schools, and hospitals, and homes, and baseball fields, and cricket fields, and cooperate offices, and small businesses, and police headquarters, and fire houses, and in every place imaginable, though I know you'd rather not dare, because the fact of the matter is that they are we and Bush you mother fucker, we're everywhere.

.i had a dream that god was a rational number that could not be solved because the integers were not yet discovered.

i woke up affraid and crying.

i smiled when i realized the integer wasn't infact undiscovered... it just had never been spoken.

i spent three days trying to decide whether i should speak the number and thereby realizing the extent of the initial ratio. i troubled over the possible consequences of what it would mean to realize the rational nature of god.

on the fourth day i awoke to myself screaming the number aloud.

the ratio was now complete yet i still couldn't comprehend it's rationality.

i began to wander in wonder as to the meaning of this paradox. i decided that thinking of god's rationality was perhaps just a bit irrational all along.

.due to increased activity on the internet of the distribution of 'prop(er respect)s' i feel the need to rerelease this document taken from the PROPS!.org archive addressing the issue.

• A Treatise On The Appropriate Utilization of "Mad" Props by Mb

Incorrect usage of mad props may yield Props OverDose (POD), studies say

Recent years have seen a dramatic rise in the use of props to express feelings of elatement or joy. While scholars have engaged in heated debates regarding the utility of the word "props" as opposed to other terms such as "accolades", little attention has been focused on the use of the comparative form of the term.

While the etymological orgin of the term "props" is generally believed to have been an abbreviation of "proper respects", the comparative "mad props" seems to have little linguistic basis. The selection of "mad" to preface the term "props" has no overt meaning and is open to speculation. Theories range from alcohol induced gibberish to an undue influence of UPN sitcoms. Whatever the basis, "mad props" has become the accepted comparitive form to express a somewhat greater degree of praise than is allowed under the constraints of the traditional "prop". As the superlative form of "wicked bad props" has less popular acceptance, its use will be ignored in this essay in favor of a discussion of a more useful and widely disseminated term.

Any discourse on the importance of "mad props" must first explain the limitations of the unenhanced "props". While "props" is well suited for many situations in which one has a desire to laud another's activities or accomplishments, the overuse of such a term numbs the recipient to the intended effect. By distributing "props" to associates or "peeps" for mundane and rather unexemplorary actions, distributers of "props" may soon find their praise considered casual or unimportant. Those who seek to have options for expressing both a satisfaction with another and an extreme appreciation for another should attempt to utilize a comparitive form of "props" for situations that warrant such measures. While "mad props" is the most commonly used phrase, others have been suggested ranging from "capital props" to "inordinately substantial amounts of props". The importance of preserving the effect of the comparitive lies primarily in differentiating its use from that of the positive form of "props". By monitering their dispersal of "props", wise distributers can ensure that an appropriate amount of "props" are doled out to those deserving of them.

One problem which has arisen from the use of "mad props" is the "props overdose" or "POD". While reponsible users of "props" will only disperse "mad props" in extreme situations, many "props" users have been unable to restrict their "mad props" to a reasonable level. The result can be a horrific downward spiral of ever increasing "props" usage. "Mad props" soon fail to provide any emotional stimulation to "props" users, forcing them to add word after word prior to the actual term "props". Those who notice a "peep" who is excessively distributing "mad props" are encouraged to seek outside assistance and counseling.While "mad props" can have dangerous consequences if misused, cautious users can enjoy the elation of having provided adequete support and accolades to their "peeps".

By educating our youth about the dangers of "prop" misuse, our society will reduce the instances of POD and enjoy the benefits of the reasonable "prop".

.this and the previous blog are part of an english assignment i was given. the assignment was to simply write a paragraph dealing with one of two topics given. the first i turned in was given a grade 2/5, the rough draft of this paragraph was given a grade of 1/5. On this particular topic i scored the lowest grades in the class. I read a 5/5 paper and almost puked. that being said here's my 2nd paragraph in final form which is due on monday.

"On Terror Prevention, Solutions"

There's a bit of a dilemma facing the United States legislators; whether or not to grant President Bush the $87 billion Iraq reconstruction bill he presented, "[as a means] to achieve this essential victory in the war on terror..." The dilemma being that the bill includes an allocation of the funds prescribed by the White House, not the legislative branch, and with such a high price tag the citizens would like more say as to how the money should be spent. If we were to approve the entire amount, it would prove more beneficial to combat the presence of terror by spending the bulk of the sum in investments in Arab and third world countries to help them gain status in the United Nations, giving them a greater political role in world affairs thus lessening the motivation for the, mostly politically motivated, terror acts to transpire. Due to the recent controversies that the Cheney-Halliburton (the Vice president and the winning bidder of the reconstruction contract) issue has raised, it would be prudent to limit subsidies to the private industries involved in the reconstruction, instead putting the money directly into the new Iraq Democratic treasury, giving the people of Iraq a say in rebuilding their own war-torn country. The dilemma is set, the right solution will require a judgement call on behalf a world leader like the United States, for the sake of the generations to come, my it be a good one.

.No, Mr. President.

the first question that would come to mind
runs along the lines of "why?"
followed pretty closely by "what for?"

the Ides of March had come and gone,
then though, came the reign.
the "for what:" Oil.

Future benefits of gross margin on production:
exponentially exceed the upkeep cost on foreign soil.
granted a margin foreseeably never seen by the
casual citizen.

vice presidents begotten by CEO's
who chair the boards of war,
i'm sure will never complain.

the "why?" we've yet to obtain.

.tips on how to operate the site:

if you've come this far you might know that the links are a little obscure. just find the underlined part of the word, click on it. the entire word is not the link, just sections of the word.

navigation: when you click on a link from the main page, you don't have to press the back button on the browser to go back. just find the little { symbol at the top right of the screen.

contact: click the @ on the main page in the upper right to send an email to raked@hotmail.com

AIM: click the web cam pic in the lower right on any page to send me an instant message. obviously someone is in the picture than they're sitting right in front of the computer, just waiting for some one to talk to them.

sections: primary emmission, download music. reverberations, look at photos i've taken. faint echoes, read the journal entries i've made.

links to other sites: the copyright symbol and the date are the links to other sites. find out what they are!

JOURNAL: you can reply to entries i make in the faint echoes section, so that others can read your replies as well, by clicking the .~~~. below each post.

right now i have three lyrics on the site... i'll soon add more, probably. i'm thinking about making them dynamically load so as they're random each time, from my entire written record.

remember, the source is open, like a script, snag it. email if you need help putting it into your site.
peace ya'll.
