About Terry McCall

I'm currently working on everything. INcluding this blog. For the past few hours, I've been keeping some of my typos. In what I write that is.

I am reading a book about love

Life, , , , , ,

I’m Graduating tomorrow. Its kind of surreal. I’m really glad that my family is here though. Although my brothers couldn’t make it after all, my closest kin is with me.
Love…

Oh yeah, I was talking about a book!

The Staff of the Cross-Cultural Center 2006-2007

I’m reading All About Love: new visions by bell hooks. I got it as a gift from the Cross (Yes I have found religion). Thanks Nancy, Edwina, Violeta and Cat. Thanks Fatima, Noah, Chris, Joseph, Brisa, Oraneet, Heidi & Miguel. I’ve learned to live life with these people and the space. Cya soon. =}

Ridiculous Image of Captain Hook and Clip Art Bells

Ah! About the book: First of all. After doing hella research for final essays and artistic precedents, I’ve come to the realization that everything has a subtitle now. (The “All About” part reminds me of old Japanese Street Fighter 2 references like this that were the coveted books of pre-internet SF players in the states). 2nd of all, Bell Hooks!? Even the people are subtitles! Aiya, this is ridiiiiculous. But I trust. The strongest message so far has been this:

When we understand love as the will to nurture our own and another’s spiritual growth, it becomes clear that we cannot claim to love if we are hurtful and abusive. Love and abuse cannot coexist. Abuse and neglect are, by definition, the opposites of nurturance and care.

Makes sense huh.

. o O (( So, I have a lot of free time now I suppose… ))

I can read, I can think. I can communicate with friends— and I can act on my random thoughts without guilt.
…I really don’t know why, but while thinking about the sippy cup terrorist, I suddenly wanted to laugh at crying babies. Yes, yes, I know. But I’m not as bad as some people… I’m sure all of you have that one friend. You know the one. The one who wishes cancer to babies. Yes. That one. (But yes… you were intoxicated!)
Anyway, I just wanted a quick laugh of babies in dire, but silly situations.

This is what I want to say to them:

Apple’s Newest Product; iSuck

Life,

iPhone won’t send MMS pictures and videos

This being speculation and all, I don’t wanna jump to any conclusions. But not being able to send all the cool, hip pix/vids that you take with your iphone to other phones seems kinda weird. Apple (& ATT) would be missing a great chance to rub iPhone’s absolute coolness into “prolephone” users’ faces.

Yeah there’s an issue with MMS pics and videos being “too lq” (size/conversion issues, etc.) for this, but that shouldn’t be a problem with the almighty iphOneSX right? Who knows it may be a platform. Who knows, it could double as a BttF:2 style hover board.

Haha… I can’t believe I got baited. I hate the iPhone for its Steve-ness’ Mega-Extreme RDF energies.
And I never did plan and getting one in the first place =/

Not hating, just think its another PS3: Don’t care for it, but would feel real smug if I had one.

In other news: I’m doing the cap & gown thing on Sunday. Right? Weird.

Why I love del.icio.us

Why I love del.icio.us

Draft

This is a work in progress. Please read WordPress Amnesty post < = talks about "Email Bankruptcy" and how I just need to post all these ideas and start them.

I like words. I wish I used sites like wordie more often… Tagging things can be a lot of fun for people who like ridiculous words! My favorite tagging site ever though, is del.icio.us. Maybe its because I’ve been stuck in the stone age with my beloved, but decaying Sony Cybershot DSC-P72. I’ll miss you Solarize. =(. So I suppose flickr was a little out of my reach… but enough!

On to delicious!

If you use it already— after all let’s be honest. I’m not the first to exude over the web 1.5’s love child, DELICIOUS (which is borderline, over-the-top mushy)— you can just add the exercise tag

Fake Plastic Trees are killing us.

Oceanographer Curtis Ebbesmeyer, Ph.D., an expert on marine debris, agrees. “If you could fast-forward 10,000 years and do an archaeological dig…you’d find a little line of plastic,” he told The Seattle Times last April. “What happened to those people? Well, they ate their own plastic and disrupted their genetic structure and weren’t able to reproduce. They didn’t last very long because they killed themselves.”

So let’s give back to the appraising the messenger. Bitchun society I really would like to know that my contributions to the rhizhome would allow for me and my loved ones to get by too.

1. Tag by emotion.
I’ve been using a modified version of this apple script xxx to better tag my music. tags tags tags. But I’ve found that tagging by emotion is pretty liberating. Soon enough, the zeitgeist’ll come and combine my “spooky” “scary” “sinister” and “>=(” tags on my random song collection into a visualization that makes gives order to the chaos.

BoingBoing and the LOLCAT FEVER that has infected the net.

BoingBoing and the LOLCAT FEVER that has infected the net.

LOLneko

Is it just me or is there a lot of LOLCAT noise at boingboing recently. Yes, I did blog about it. No, I will not talk about LOLCAT club.

I cannot turn anywhere without seeing this madness.

But I will not give in.

Anyways, Ratatat – Wildcat

I listened to a lot of synth and guitar from this du-du-du-duo in March and April. Its actually a trio (Guitar, Bass, Synth/Drums (if you can really call a single snare and cymbal “drums”), but that’s beside the point. Me and Shannon instinctively growl and claw at the air everytime we hear the big cat in the distance… It’s really a silly sight to see. And you gotta love it when they break it down around 1:57. When we saw them in concert last month at Porter’s Pub, we were also joined by a few of the hipster kids who’ve been listening to the duo for “Seventeen Years”.
Get funky friends, get funky.

PS: No, my last post wasn’t a spam message. And no, I do not plan to use it. Its just interesting. Much like the iPhone and this Multi-touch computer from Jeff Han.
