a musing: derivations of a non-conformist idealist

Wow.  A lot of the choreography in Beyonce’s Single Ladies video was derived from 60’s great choreographer Bob Fosse’s dances, most particularly in Gwen Verdon’s performance at the TV show Mexican Breakfast.    Below are three videos from youtube (users 1dubdigit, ikarop, and MackTenn74, respectively)- the first one is the Gwen Verdon performance with Beyonce’s [...]

I don’t know if it’s just coincidence but my Friendster account doesn’t open anymore since yesterday. Could it have sensed I was registering on Facebook?  I don’t know if there’s something wrong with that account.  Hopefully there isn’t and it’s just a temporary glitch.  When my blogger blog got bombed by that false-positive suspicious-site thing, [...]

Not!  Poor Rihanna, she’ll be hiding under an umbrella for a while…  And if you haven’t read the details of the assault, read it from CNN.  They’re both so young!  I couldn’t imagine Chris “applying pressure to Robyn F.’s left and right carotid arteries, causing her to be unable to breathe and she began to [...]

You need them, we’ll find them!  Yes, sir, everybody has a need for at least one nowadays.  Why, with the world economy in a slump, the only thing that can lift our spirits up are them a-gay’s.  Don’t you worry.  We’re the Premiere fag locators in the metro.  You can Trust us!  We search with [...]

Sometimes, it hits me bad.  Good thing I’m finally busy again.  Last week I’ve been coming home late.  And I’m happy for that actually.  Brain cells are humming.  I’ve kept the fauxhawk.  It’s ok.  What’s next?  Reconnecting, rediscovering.  I finally did it- registered for Facebook!  It’s nice.  Friendster pales.  But it’s not as addicting as [...]

Not yet even the Lenten season, I visited three Churches I’ve never been into before.  (I don’t Church hop any season - this was the most number of Churches I went into in just one day.)  Short solemn moments of thank you’s, a couple of camera phone pictures, and one instance of being told by [...]

Back in 2000, after the Y2K debacle, and when I was still in my first I.T. company, SVI– Software Ventures International, I came up with “mail-zines”.  I would scour the web for interesting subjects, bits and pieces, collate them into a newsletter, put in commentators (bitch and feces), then sent them out to co-worker friends.  [...]

I get hives when I read stuff like below. I orgasm.  Well, I would if I had the capacity for it.  When did you last had an orgasm?  Three weekends ago?  Centuries ago?  A wet dream ago?

And the above came from an online advertisement! Don’t they have proof-readers? AdvertAsement!  Oh, and if you get hives, [...]

Sept. 11, 2001: ^^sPeeD^^ created a channel in IRC chat.  Membership ballooned to 150 in its first two active years as its “reputation” spread.  Being a famous clique, nasty rumors spread about the group and some of its members.  As the members grew up, graduated from college, took on jobs, and became busy with their [...]

I didn’t catch the comic book series when it originally came out in 1986/1987.  When I started collecting a few DC titles in 1989 or so, Watchmen was already a critical hit.  23 years later, I would see the movie version and wow!  I heard that the director used a lot of the comic book [...]
