DMD: MEGA BOW ULTRA

Kowtow Calculations

YA example of awesomeness of Japaneseness

Just think. These crazy geometric bow calculations are pre-programmed into all Japanese people 1. There was no thinking “Oh I messed up. I should bow… 20º lower.” Homeboy just innately knew…”bow this far… BUT NOT TOO FAR”.

The stereotypical Asian wisdom is true: “Don’t Think. Feel.” 2

1. It’s all firmware man. ↑

2. Of course it was none other than the Little Dragon who said this. No, he is not Japanese. No, Asians are not all the same, but Yes, I am milking a popular meme for all its worth.

Also: If you haven’t seen these Lee flash animations, you’re hella missing out. They’re old school (I saw em back in HS), and in Korean, but the simplicity of it all truly captures the elegance of Lee’s artwork. ↑

John Mayer, PIW & Me

Sunday, February 14th, 2010

I heard bout the Mayer scandal awhile back, but didn’t bother talking about it till my friend mentioned it on facebook. And even then, I kinda felt like addressing it would be waste of time… I felt like I’ve been down this road before

J Smooth lays it down—word for word—as to why I stopped REACTing to this kinda stuff. Man, I been slippin on illdoctrine for awhile now… gotta re-up. You should too.

PS: PIW = Possessive Investment in Whiteness. Check it.

PPS: Dunno if it’s a stunt, but illdoctrine (AND rappersiknow. WTF) is dead. I dunno, I’ve been immune to dumb ass “We Are/Heal the World” remakes since the last one. Long live Nildoctrine?

PPPS: Kinda unfair, and perhaps I shouldn’t bring this up but, I can’t help to wonder: Why wasn’t there a We Are the World for the South Asia disasters awhile back? (And everything else shitty that happens). So much for the internet making us a global community. “We” still cater to the neighbors… Ok, I’m done.

Björk got this house as a present from Iceland for being so dope. I bet they want it back now.

I bet they want it back real bad.
