DEJA VU FOR G DUBBZ

Monday, September 4th, 2006

g dubbz

Wikipedia is the greatest online resource next to this website and it tells me that ‘deja vu’ is a French word for ‘already seen’. Paramnesia is the scientific term for the phenomena. People that experience deja vu have said that an eery or strange feeling accompanies the notion.

G DUBBZ and his henchmen have been giving tons a deja vu rhetoric lately to keep the fear in people’s hearts. The Administration has lately taken to labeling any critic of their policies a Nazi sympathizer or Communist. This tactic was a lot stronger during the Darth Sidious BUSH Sr. administration because there were still people alive that remembered the Nazis and the Communists. I think its cheap and disingenuous to invoke the bad guys from previous generations when we have so many bad guys that are current and contemporary who need some shine. Why can’t we let some young new bad guys come up in the game?

That’s why DP dot com should be any future politicos one-stop shopping for consulting. We can help you keep your propaganda fresh and relevant. Speaking to Generation iPod+ is our specialty. Get at me BARACK.

Let’s say hello to some of the new bad guys…

BARON KARZA
I can tell that your scared already. G DUBBZ should equate Iran’s leader with the bad guy from the Micronauts universe. Dude has a crazy arab sounding name too. Even if you aren’t familiar with the Micronauts you have to admit that BARON KARZA looks bad. Dude is dressed in all black and he can transform from a kick azz humanoid to a kick more azz centaur. Scary.

UNCLE RUCKUS
UNCLE RUCKUS is important as a domestic bad guy because he can help us continue the demonization of the undereducated, disenfranchised Black male. Do you remember all those folks that committed crimes against their families and then blamed it on Black guys? Memo to white that kills it’s own family: From now on you can blame your indiscretion on UNCLE RUCKUS.

“President BUSH wanted to get off his plane and help those tar people in New Orleans, but he was fearful that UNCLE RUCKUS would try to get him” -TONY SNOW, White House Press Secretary

NINJAS
Try to imagine for a moment the fear inside Middle America if G DUBBZ said that North Korean leader KIM JONG IL was planning on sending ninjas into America. Ninjas are total badasses that can sneak around at night, fly and make themselves disappear. I don’t know about y’all, but I see the polls shooting upwards in double digit numbers. Not only are ninjas ruthless killers, but they are hell’a fastidious. Do you see how neat this ninja keeps his CD collection? I’d be terrified of anyone who has a MICHAEL BOLTON slow jams collection in chronological order.

As always, the best bad guys are the ones that we can’t see. Forget the fact that they don’t even exist, but if you can convince the people that terror waits for them around the corner in the post office or the supermarket then you can make anybody and everybody a terrorist. Scare the people into becoming shut-ins with only their televisions to provide them with reality.

The operative word here is terror and it has to be used like a bludgeon. The Nazis and the Commies had their run, but now its time for some new villains to take center stage. Mr. President, your photo op awaits you.

DALLASPENN.COM = LOSER

losers

“If youre not in first place, then your a loser” – Ricky Bobby’s daddy

The votes have been tabulated and DALLASPENN.COM is a loser in the 2006 Black Weblog Awards. This is no less then we expected seeing the competition that we were up against. The breadth of content and totally awesome writing of the other two blogs that we were up against made us realize why we will never be the most popular site on the internets.

That and the fact that we don’t take it up the azz.

Now we’re not bitter that we didn’t win because we realize that even the best websites were passed over this year or not even nominated at all. At least NAH’RIGHT and ZILLZ brought home some hardware without being sites that completely pander to bullshit and suck azz so that makes me a little happy.

The one bit of solace that I take with me after losing what amounts to a high school popularity contest is that even as a fat boy, I am still the best looking out of the retards chosen for my category.

The Dark Phoenix Saga

Sunday, September 3rd, 2006

jean grey

Copping those Air max 90’s reminded me of how much I enjoyed the Dark Phoenix saga inside the X-Men comic book series. As a matter of fact I think this event was sadder for me then learning that there wasn’t a Santa Claus. Jean Grey was a woman that was endowed with an incredible amount of uncontrollable power. It wasn’t long before she was corrupted and then consumed by that power. I wanted her to win in the end, but what I didn’t realize is that sometimes death is a victory. It still hurts though.

Walk with me for a minute as we go through the issues that lead up to her demise…

134

X-MEN #134
The X-Men defeat the Knights of the Hellfire Club, but in the process they lose Jean Grey forever. Her mind was altered by the villain Mastermind, who was impersonating a Victorian era gentleman named Jason Wyngarde. In the process of infiltrating Jean Grey’s brain Mastermind unlocked some of the pyschic barriers that Professor X had installed to keep Jean Grey from realizing the potential of the Phoenix power. Now that the Phoenix was unleashed it repaid Mastermind by essentially performing a lobotomy on him without the surgery, reducing Mastermind to the comicbook version of TERRI SCHIAVO. The Phoenix then becomes the Dark Phoenix.

135

X-MEN #135
Defeating the Hellfire Club was simple compared to trying to tame the raw fury of the Dark Phoenix. Part of the reason the X-Men are having difficulty is because they don’t want to hurt Jean Grey while trying to put the Dark Phoenix in check. No dice. The Dark Phoenix knows all of their weaknesses and it doesn’t want to be stifled. In short, the X-Men’s ass is grass.

136

X-MEN #136
The Phoenix force has totally consumed Jean Grey’s body and is out of control. Drunk with freedom it traveled into another solar system and consumed an entire star, similiar to the Sun that our Earth rotates around. Unfortunately, the star was also the life giver to the planets within its system and one of those planets was inhabited by billions of lifeforms that were all killed when the Dark Phoenix consumed the star. The Dark Phoenix was an out of control universal force. Some say the Dark Phoenix is more powerful than Galactus. For whatever reason the Dark Phoenix returned to Earth it gave the X-Men one last chance to defeat it. Professor X recruited Jean Grey’s parents in the hopes that they might be able to reach whatever was left of Jean’s pysche that the Dark Phoenix had not corrupted. With that small opening the Professor engaged in a telepathic duel with the Dark Phoenix for the soul of Jean Grey. With Jean’s help the Professor was barely able to subdue the Dark Phoenix.

137

X-MEN #137
For my money this is the greatest comicbook ever created. The art and the story are the most incredible flight of fancy and emotion that I have ever ridden. FRANK MILLER’s Daredevil and Dark Knight books are a close second and third, but if I could only have one single issue of any comic title it would be this one. The X-Men are kidnapped by the Imperial Guard and Jean Grey is placed on trial for the crimes that the Phoenix has committed. The X-Men offer to duel with the Imperial Guard for Jean’s life and a battle royale ensues. The X-Men are getting their asses handed to them on a platter when suddenly the Phoenix re-emerges to thump out everybody. Jean Grey can feel the power surging inside of her and before she can be transformed again into the Dark Phoenix she decides to take her own life. Cyclops can be seen crying over her ashes as the book concludes. Classic good shit.

138

X-MEN #138
A chapter ends for the X-Men as Scott Summers leaves the group after the loss of his true love. Scott and Jean were the last two members of the original team that were still with the group, but after this issue the X-Men will be comprised of only members that came on in issue #94.

JOHN BYRNE and CHRIS CLAREMONT did a masterful job on the X-Men series and despite the difficulties that these two creative people had working with each other the end product is something greater than they could have ever created alone. Because of these comic books I wanted to become a writer so that Jean Grey would live on forever, but alas, nothing lasts forever.

Except for love.

SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

am 90s

I am on my sneaker grind extra heavy this weekend. I am visiting the NIKE I.D. Design Studio today as well as some of the other local haunts throughout the city. Air Max is the order of the day. I want to see if I can come up on something that isn’t blown out of the water just yet. I am thinking about having a party at I.D. for the Air Moire+. All my generation iPod peeps are welcome (’70s, ’80s & ’90s babies). Holla Black if you are interested and I will set a date.

This Sneaker Fiends post is to celebrate a couple of pairs of Air Max 90 that I copped over the summer. We already kicked it about the Fantastic Four A.M. 90’s back in June and they didn’t disappoint me either. The whole series is pretty tight and the Doctor Doom Foamposite Pros are sick even if they aren’t in the right colorway.

NIKE hits another home run with a Marvel Comics collabo. The joints I am putting you up on in this post are the new Dark Phoenix Air Max 90’s. Some of you heads are gonna trip and say that these sneakers are really the STEVE NASH Quickstrikes, but that is what you can call them if you want to. For me, these sneakers were made by NIKE because they read my mind and they know how much I loved Jean Grey even though she was manipulated by the Phoenix force.

Don’t hate me because NIKE shares a telepathic bond with me. The people in Beaverton have been riding with me for years and this instance is no different. Premium leather is in effect all over the shoe as well as a custom insole representing the Phoenix force. These jawnts is straight flames!

POLITRICKS 2006: TRUST NO ONE…

Sunday, September 3rd, 2006

the fun bunch

That exploding noise that you hear is your pension future being placed inside the mortar rocket of a tank in Baghdad/Lebanon. These guys are laughing because FERNANDO FERRER ate all the cocktail shrimp before everyone arrived.

The sound bite buzz word for this year’s NY gubernatorial election locally and other national posts will be the term ‘Living Wages’. Now that the proverbial cat is out of the virtual bag which says during the last six years the erosion of the middle class has continued unobstructed I expect all the tricksters to talk about their love for the working people. It’s beoming obvious to me that we, the people, need the tricksters less and less if all they are going to give us back is empty rhetoric. Attorney General ELLIOT SPITZER is going to be the next governor of New York no matter who I vote for unless people take a serious and close look at how he passes the buck…

spitzy On Wall Street Corruption
“Frankly, it was never practicable for the AG’s office to receive a vast sum of money and then try to disperse that money to individual investors, … Those individual investors will have to go through some sort of fact-finding process to demonstrate who relied on who and is owed how much.”

On the Right to Privacy
“This is believed to be the largest deliberate breach of a privacy policy ever discovered by U.S. law enforcement, with this case against Gratis, we hope to set a new standard for Internet marketers and consumer research companies. Personal information secured through a promise of confidentiality must always remain confidential.”
spitzster

Uhh, hello, Federal wiretapping anyone?!? I guess SPITZER conveniently forgot about that case since it was way out of his league. SPITZER’s a Wall Street lackey who will bust the unions’ butts open like a coconut. Kiss that pension goodbye ladies and gentlemen, you folks will be working up until the day of your funeral.
