canadian is the new black

so....for a while, myspace has thought that i'm Canadian. Which doesn't change much...it just means that dates are backwards...and i get to see the canadian flag in the logo.



No big deal. But it's strange, because my state is set at California....so, they know i'm in the US....

so, while it's only been mildly annoying, i've been trying to figure out why MySpace would call me Canadian. I'm not canadian eh...

but then, i saw this article on Boing-Boing informing me that in the south, "canadian" is code for N-----. no, i'm serious. canadian is the new black.

So now i'm wondering, what exactly is myspace trying to say........

tiskotansi! wow..dancing really is genetic....

so.....i *look* black...but alas, like recruiters and someone on a first date, looks are deceiving. ya, i'm black...but the most significant pure genetic contribution to the total multi-racial awesomeness that is me, comes from the finns. Well not that being Finnish is all that racially pure ...

There's a comment on this page, that explains some things:
My ex was 1/2 Finn, her mother 100%. Their eyes were more Asian than Western in shape, they thought it was because Ghengis Khan had made it to Finland.

But based solely on my experience, this article is way off base. Finns can only be the spawn of Satan, no other logical explanation exists for how that woman got to be the way she is!!!

so that's why i have asian looking eyes and have been called the devil herself...wow. who knew it was the Finn in me.


anyhoo...back to the point. how, dancing really is genetic...with a little grey goose, the dance in this video just comes out of me naturally...

and watch the woman in the video...notice that she can do the steps, but is just a little off beat..not enough to be a bad dancer...but just enough to make it so that not all dances for her...but what is for her, from what i can see in the video is the two step and the shoulder shimmy with a little semi off-beat hip shaking. that's totally my zone.

anyhoo... here's the video. enjoy!

supid rich vs. retarded rich

watching the news makes me really think that the first thing an agent/manager/publicist needs to do with their client EVERY DAY is remind them the difference between stupid rich and retarded rich.


Stupid rich is what you want to be. it's when you have so much money that you can buy things that make everyone else say, that's stupid... like getting custom monogrammed seats in your bentley. or staying at the hugh heffner suite, for a week because you can. or spending $100,000 a year on rehab, where again, people may say, it's stupid how much money so and so has and you may end up in the news for your splurging, but you stay out of jail...

which brings us to retarded rich. this is where you have so much money that you have lost touch with reality and now end up in jail for the things that you do...note that retarded rich isn't so much about how much money you have...it's more about the adverse effects that your money has on your decision making abilities. like with drinking too much alcohol. or being in love.

this means you do things like...make $38 million and don't pay any taxes.

or make it rain, and then take the money back...what part of the game was that?....

or getting caught with major guns when you make major money from endorsements...big things stoppin? i hope not :(.

and everyone's favorite, running a dog fighting ring when you should be running after a superbowl ring...i mean damn, at LEAST be fighting tigers or doing it man on beast gladiator style... not some regular animals doing regular fights....i promise, if get brought down by PETA, it'll be because i got caught eating chinchilla tar-tar (who knew chinchilla's were so ugly!), while breeding bald eagles to be bronzed and sent to stephen colbert....not that i'd do that, i'm just sayin...if you must be foolish and cruel enough to torture animals, at least be a little more creative with it...can you imagine if the headline had read "Michael Vick indited for running a lucrative tiger vs. crack head with a jail shank fight club..." now *that's* a story...

anyhow, moving on to the real danger of being retarded rich...90% of the time, it's the same as being retarded broke...except when you're retarded broke...nobody cares. because you're broke. so you can probably get away with it.

because really, not paying bills, having illegal guns and 15 mean dogs in the backyard just sounds like some regular old hood s@#%. so it's really not newsworthy, unless your rich.

so please, managers everywhere, when you are warning your clients about the lurking threats of groupies and golddiggers...thrown in a warning about the dangers of being retarded rich. At least with golddiggers you stay out of jail.
