Enough Of This!!

I can't take anymore. I like hierarchy. I don't know why, I just do. It's how my family is structured and how I thought life would be structured also.
WRONG!!
America, we are spinning out of control into the depths of chaos. The sky is literally fucking falling! For real! How much bad shit has to happen for people to say "Oh, this is bad, I guess my divedends and tax rate aren't as important as I once thought. When I first came of age politically I heard and read rumors of a strange Illuminati running the world from behind the scenes. Making puppets of politicians and governments to move society to their nefarious goals. WRONG!!
What the fuck my fellow Americans.
We are all here in this country America, imagine its a bus and every few hours the driver gets tired and we select a new one from the people on the bus to drive. The bus is crowded some of the best seats have lots of people crowded around and some of the worst seats not many people want but their are a few sitting there cause they don't really care for the crowds. We are all represented on the bus. Asians(smart ones and dumb ones), Blacks(uppity ones and niggrish types), Hispanics/Latins(those passing for white and those blowing leaves) and the most dangerous group on the bus Whites(elitest and trailer trash). But, Riley surely blacks are the most dangerous they kill people with guns. Only dumbfucks and skinheads believe this and hopefully if you reading this you're neither, but let's get one thing strait white people kill more people annually than all the other bus riders combined. Yeah its scary, oooh blacks with guns breaking into a house. What's scary to me is what the fuck is in this ravioli I'm eating thats so potent that it ruined my bowl. I'm eating some scary shit that one white guy made and another white guys said was ok to sell, cause by the time they know what's killing them we'll be dead and rich.

Cigarettes: does anyone even argue the point anymore? Deadly, addictive, and on every corner

Alchohol and Cars: Fuck stay at home and drink!! How fucking hard is that!

OTC and Prescription Drugs: This shit is such bad news no one even talks about it (but now they're like "please sign for that cough medicine")

Pesticides: Idiots, God put those bugs and weeds there for a reason. Aww forget it I like poison for dinner.

Every chemical company and industrial plant in America: Ok we didn't used to know what the fuck they were cooking up but now that we do, won't some one stop them!!
Shit there's a hole in the Ozone layer. A big fucking hole. A hole that's starting a greenhouse effect. Remember 7th grade science. Doh, put a bug in the microwave on high for 1:00 min. Thats you stupid.

More clearly for dumbfucks: The planet is broke and they did it, ok by accident but tell them to turn the shit off now!!

Industrial Plant and Chemical Company X: We'll gonna fix it, we swear, you don't have to check either, we'll let you know as soon as it's fixed, soon, we promise.

Car emmisions: Where are the fucking electric cars we should have had these on the streets decades ago after the gas lines of the 70's.

Malpractice:Everyone knows that a hospital is going to treat you like shit. Well guess what, sometimes they fuck up and you die. Their reply, "Oh well shit happens, but you owe us $350,000."

Police and Prisons: mostly kill us blacks but we're kinda getting used to it.

Well you get my point, back to the bus......

We're all riding along then someone suggest this kinda dumb looking cat drive the bus. Now I liked the last driver. The ride was smooth and everyone was happy. But some, I guess a lot, didn't like him cause someone told he was getting head while driving(only to white people is this a crime).

I've gotten head while driving ....... it's not bad, and only slightly distracting it actually takes the edge off.

But he wasn't getting head from his wife, which she wouldn't have known about if no one had told. Which is fucked up to me, but someone thought it was logical(hate to beat a dead horse, but had to be a white person).

But back to the new guy who wants to drive, now there was a lot of stink about the last driver having smoked a joint, once. Not while he was driving but back in the day. Most people knew that was just a low tactic to get the driver disqualified but he got through it and turned out to be a good driver. Now this new guy's dad used to drive the bus and was involved in a lot of shady shit during that time, but he got off without it sullying his rep too much, but this is not about him. I'm thinkin to my self of all the people on this bus how in the fuck does this guy think he can be driver cause his dad was? I mean you gotta admit that's like you and your brother winning the lottery a week apart. The odds are stacked way against. Your shit would have to smell like roses to convice the bus passengers to give you the job. This the guy couldn't possibly be applying for the job unless he was like a super genius squeaky clean movie star looking motherfucker. WRONG!!

He used to be in the bus protection service but had his dad pull some strings so he could get an easy duty roster. Pretty bad, but he went further he actually deserted his post for a few months to go party, oh but the records got lost so we're not going to investigate that any further. The dudes a liar OUT!! He was busted for drunk driving during a time when he was an alchoholic. OUT!! The dude could back slide while driving and kill us all. Nothing against ex-alchoholics it takes strength to beat it but you can't drive the bus, it's too risky. I mean if I had to pick from all ex alchoholics cool, but I don't so this guy is definitely out. Well they looked at his police record turns out the guy used to be a real bad coke head. DEFINITELY OUT!! That's one step from crack. Which is one step from a crack head. No one could/would want him. The dude still got interviewed and although he went to a prestigious school it quickly becomes obvious that he only graduated because he knew someone. He's as dumb as a box of rocks. No way this guys gonna be drivin'. The other applicant used to be the co-driver to the smooth cat. The dude pretty much knows what's up, he should be a shoe in for the job. The guys kinda geeky but he's got a good heart you know the kind. Don't really fit in but he's cool to hang with and will probably be your most stable friend. Well when the day came to choose the geeky guy got picked but some dudes in black coats with the collars turned up and dark shades showed up. They told the geeky guy to beat it. The coke head was gonna drive. Everyone just stood around in disbelief.

Now here's where in movies the geeky guy mans up and bitch slaps everyone and takes the seat, but this ain't the movies though. In real life people are little bitches when they're taken by surprise. Some people tried to react come to the geeky guys rescue but in the end that hero we see in the movies wasn't in him. Not at that time anyway and if he didn't want to or couldn't stand up for himself did we want him driving?

In the moments of confusion that followed other cat starts driving. Now from jump everyone can tell this guy is a chimp, and a patsy. He can't talk, just saying dumbshit all the time. He got shady guys tellin him where to go. People are like, We don't know these guys you're supposed to know where to go!" "Heh, heh heh don't worry I got this under control just sit back and relax." Heh, heh hell, this motherfuckers a thief and a moron, but there was no one else. It was a sad day and everyone just stood around shocked and mad. The people who voted for him were happy but only because they didn't like the geek. They kept beein' all giddy about all the good shit this dude was gonna do. But really they didn't even know this cat they just wanted a win for their team and were willing to get it at any cost. When you gotta cheat to win you know that shit is coming back on you. That's just the way it is. In movies as well as real life payback is a motherfucker.

So Monkeyman is drivin some are like cooling and relaxin, others are rolling their eyes anticipating their next move. Anyone who relaxed was a fool. We all knew the dipshit would crash and that would be it he'd be out! But some other crazy shit happened, damn, we got hit!! It really wasn't that bad compared to some of the damage we'd done over the years. But this guys driving was so bad after the accident people were in awe. Everyone says he's not to blame cause the bus got hit first he just responded. The motherfucker is not looking at the road, sleeping while driving, then after we get hit he ramming other busses saying it's their fault I bet they'll hit us again unless we hit them first. "Everyone sit down," he shouts, now the bus has handles you can stand if you like the instructions are clearly posted, but this guy says "If you don't do what I say their gonna hit us again." Most sit and those that don't are called part of the problem. I'ts starting to get scary, not because of the accident but because people are actually believing what this guy is saying, and he's a chimp. Fuckin Alfred E.

He got us hit in the first place let's get rid this guy," but people are too scared they let him keep driving.

They can no longer hear us, FEAR has taken them!

I admit I hated the driver for paralyzing the passengers with fear. Its almost the most powerful emotion. It weakens most in its grasp. As I began to study him more I came to the realization that this guy is not smart enough to have pulled this off. I listen to him speak. I saw him during various crisis.

He's a moron, and he knows he's a moron.

But his crew, those were the guys we should have been looking at all along. His co-driver, rich dude does'nt even need the money doesn't want to be driver next. Strange position for a guy in his standing to take. Ever see rich guys take blue collar jobs. Nope. Why would they unless......
Bingo, hidden agenda, how could we not see it coming.
The guys that crew with the nut were a mixed bag. Bad news for the most part though.

John Ashcroft: Evil fuck up. That's the only way to put it. Not a decent bone in his body. He was from an ignorant state that put every agenda before the education of its own children, where voters mostly poor where actually scared into voting down a minimum wage increase. He bred ignorance and fear of crime in a state where the average IQ was closer to the nations lowest than the highest. He put many men to death for no reason. Killing because someone killed is evil, not in every case but in a nation that warehouses black people just because, there can be no excuse for killing the most dangerous. We waste more money on stupid shit than it would take to keep them locked up indefinitely. (It seems he found out he'd been involved in shady shit but he's a coward, you probably missed the piss running down his leg when he stepped down).

Colin Powell: Patsy the dude looks smart but it took him too long to notice he was being used. Notice he broke camp as soon as he found out their game. But he still won't say shit.

Condaleeza Rice: Loyal subject, probably a high profile Monica Lewinsky or Bubbles.

Donald Rumsfeld: Skelator say no more

Cheney: Doctor Evil Genius(makin all loot) off teenagers dying for bullshit. How does that saying about age and treachery go..........

Its like what if the Legion of Doom ruled the free world.

The guy started running the bus over people killing them saying its for our own good but in my gut I knew different. He sends kids to keep the bus safe knowing they may die but he doesn't care. At first he's like, "They out there, I know they out there." Then its all like "Ooops my bad,I know I got your arms and legs blown off and some got killed but it was an honest mistake." This the motherfucker in charge of the richest nation with shit at his disposal that 007 would nut to get his hands on but, he got all dumbass excuses for his fuck up. This motherfucker needs to be in jail, straight up. He's killing motherfuckers everyday for nothing but a few dollars. These punks is just crashing into other buses to steal their rims and part that shit out. There's no danger out there we got the biggest bus rolling and we're abusing the privilege. When will we get some balls and get this guy out of the drivers seat. They can't get all of us I think it's time for a new driver no matter what they say.

Time for the Heroes to stand up and let there voices be heard!!

I AIN'T SCARED BUS DRIVER, PULL OVER BITCH!!!

The Matrix and Sophia Stewart

It's been a while, I know, but I'm back with a new rant. Racism has once again reared its ugly head where it should not exist. Who, one may ask is Sophia Stewart and what does she have, if anything, to do with the Matrix? She is a science fiction enthusiast and writer whos work could quite possibly be the origin of the thoughts and ideas that shaped the Matrix Trilogy. There's only one problem. The Hollywood machine that created the films didn't consult or compensate her for her creative imagery. The Matrix paints a picture of a future where humanity is united as one race against a common enemy. These movies, though each progressively worse, still touched my mind in ways movies had not been able to previously. I would think those who watched and understood the tip of the iceberg these films touched upon would be beyond racism and understand the deeper workings of our society, to at least be able to more readily identify the hidden infractions that individuals must suffer as the wheels of the grind forth. Instead I find that these people who have been supposedly freed from the matrix readily cooperate with "agents" of the real world and attack those that would stand up against our societal overlords with treasonous zeal. The bashing of Sophia Stewart is rampant and disrespectful in light of the supposed evidence. It could all be fake of course but let that play out in the courts. Let us be skeptical of what we are being told. Really we are not even being told not to believe it. Let us not blindly follow a mob, or support causes without merit, even though it may be against those who have opened our eyes. We are after all only human.

I've tried too collect all the pertinent data here which if correct and authentic makes Sofia Stewarts case crystal clear. The only thing left to settle will be money and apologies.

Sophia's Press Release

Clearer Images

The illustrations are actually from the matrix comics. Stewart includes these to site similarities between her story and the matrix story.
Similarities I see:
The "One".
Main character dressed in all black.
Revolution against great power with almost total control.
Prophetic fullfilment.


If she had been paid ahead of time, it would have been no big deal but the courts frown upon this sort of thing. Remember all that biz with sampling?

It's not that these things have not been done in other movies, but that they are all in her script and all in a movie whose directors solicited request for scripts and she sent her script in response to that solicitation. It's a little too coincidental. Lawsuit coincidental.


I appreciate all intelligent, respective and pertinent responses.

Also those who have insulted this woman may wish to redeem themselves and apologize.

Star Trek and The Impending Death of Enterprise

The Trek, I love the Trek, like a brother, a close familiar type of love. We have our differences sometimes but in the end, we are still family. The original show from the 60's: loved it when I was two and three. But watching it as an adolescent was different, I hated it, loved sci-fi probably because of my exposure to it as a toddler, but I could not stand to watch it. The story lines were, in my humble opinion at that time, simply put, trash. Kirk, couldn't stand the guy, too cocky and he acted like he had no one to answer to. Later I saw the movies, loved them but I was really into other stuff. Star Wars, Galactica, Dune there was some really good creative movies being made so I didn't pay the Trek much mind. Then in September 87, something new happened. A new Trek, at first I was positive I would hate it. I didn't. Starship Captain Jean-Luc Picard, I don't know if it was how the character was written or the portrayal by Patrick Stewart, but this is the guy I wanted to be. A gentleman always always weighing his and his crews actions and how the would affect the Federation and the new worlds they were discovering. I was hooked and hooked bad. It was actually making me better person! A tv show shouldn't have this kind of power. But I guess when there's no one around for you to identify with, the lofty ideals of tv heroes is better than nothing. Then later came DS9 I remember joking with a friend that show is going to be a lot better when Avery Brooks becomes Hawk. Two seasons later we got our wish and it was all good. I would like to personally thank all who worked on the two series they were profound influences in my life.

Now onto the bad, or what I considered the bad. Voyager, I thought it was bad, it wasn't until the 3rd season. I figured out I was not the demographic to which show was aimed. It was a show with many strong female characters. All of the guys were very likeable but I wouldn't follow a one into a fight. I'd allow them to accompany me but none had the strong decisive personalities I was used to seeing in Star Trek males. After I figured out the shows demo I actually began to enjoy it. My favorite character was the doctor with Seven being close second and it was cool to see a black vulcan for a change. It was entertaining, but no one I could identify with. for me in the bunch.

I remember being so excited about hearing about the 5th franchise. Enterprise cool name but I read something disturbing "Star Trek" would not be included in the title. Hmm...Ok, but why not? Seems strange Trek distancing itself from Trek. That doesn't make sense. I was in from the first moment record button ready. Then that music played, it was like fingernails on a chalk board. The storylines were a mess. I still hung in there. Even seeking others to find episodes I had missed. The Ensemble cast sat cool with me. A little stiff, but they all are at first. We have 7 seasons to get this stuff together,right? Wrong! The second and third season were a mess. It wouldn't be me if I didn't say this, "a fuc*ing mess." Cries went up from fans early "Wrong direction make a course correction." No one listened, in fact they hunkered down more sticking to their bad decision. The ratings fell like rocks in water. Fans gave direction in every venue possible. Violations of Star Trek history, which is cannon, where violated with impunity. When cries when up noses were thumbed. Star Trek producers became deaf to the ears of fans. Now what do we have? Cancellation, and a well deserved one I might add. If I'm watching Nightline and Ted Koppell(?) starts flying around the set, and I say "hey dudes, this is the news he shouldn't be flying," and my reply is "Fuc* you dude he's gonna fly and you're gonna like it," guess what, I'll turn to CNN. So now faced with ratings so low they are laughable for a show that has a budget in the top five. UPN and Paramount are saying to hell with Star Trek: Enterprise and you can't blame em. But who can you blame, Rick Berman and Brannon Braga two stiffs who refuse to deviate on any decision they make. Not a very Trek thing to do. Their stubbornness will leave us Trek-less for 2-5 years. Alas, there is a campaign to save Enterprise, which I believe is worth saving. This season in particular has been very good and I haven't missed any unlike the 2 previous seasons where I didn't even bother watching. Why, BECAUSE OF DUMB-AS* STORYLINES WHICH VIOLATED CANON!! Stop sniffing your own asses and listen to what people a asking for any you might get you ratings back, keep your jobs putz's and by accident make the fans happy.

Black History Month

It's Black History Month again, and although I should be saying something profound and moving about the struggle of Africans in America, the truth is I don't know what to say. I am truly grateful for the struggles and triumphs of all who have made progress toward equality, diversity and tolerance of another's culture. Hopefully we can all continue toward a brighter tomorrow.
Ok?
Now what lies beneath: this is the month Black people in America learn how whites treated their ancestors Great, great uncles, grandfathers and mothers like pure-d, stank Shi*, with no remorse or compulsion or basic human compassion. This went on for four hundred and forty plus years as slaves, then 80 years plus as second class citizens. Now they want us to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps and even have spokespersons who endorse this(whom I fuc*ing hate). This is fuc*ing madness its like a boxer being punched in the head for six rounds and then being asked to do his taxes in the seventh while still wearing gloves, dodging punches and being penalized for not being able to complete the task quickly. Then being threatened with being disqualified. Oh and don't forget being berated in the press as lazy and up to no good, and simultaneously being portrayed on television and in movies as a dangerous, but entertaining bunch. We are at an obvious disadvantage, why is it only we seem to be able to see it. I think "Conundrum" is what I called it in Initiation and this is probably more of the same.
I don't do much book reading, and I think I may have Adult ADD so don't get to use to this blog stuff. I do a lot of television viewing though and as usual, for this time of year, public broadcasting has brought me all the latest news on ways black people during slavery and jim crow were demoralized, tortured and killed. Now this is hard stuff to watch for us as Black people. Though, now that I think about it, I avoid it more often than not. But when I do catch one near the beginning, I feel an obligation to the people that went through these plights to watch. Not just to glaze over it, but intently watching, feeling what they felt. Much of those same situations still reverberate in our society today. Not as audacious or obvious, but can you watch one of these shows and say, "You know, I wouldn't mind going through that every day of my life, if it were a lot less intense." No you wouldn't want to go through it at all. That’s what fuels fire, hatred and resentment in many African-Americans. We are subject to being abused everyday. Not that it happens everyday but you know its coming so you're already cringing when you hit the door and go out into the world. This doesn't make for someone who wants to pull himself up by any fuc*ing bootstrap. It causes a person to be prone to strangle someone with a bootstrap. So what can society do to help the Negro, the Black, African-Americans or anyone else who is not in the privileged White majority?

Just give somebody black a break, that's all. If everyone who had a run in with us gave us just one break whenever it happened, avoiding a confrontation you would help greatly. Please remember we are a proud, strong people upon whose backs(literally) the country was built. We are still in a healing process, and the way we are treated hurts our feelings not to mention our pride and dignity. We want to be accepted and treated as equals but we are not as strong as you are yet. We had a fight. You won. We've agreed to be friends but we are still weak do not dishonor us by patronization, but respect us as great warriors just as you respect your own. We can become your equal on our own, but no matter what anyone says it benefits both parties if we have help. We are brothers now treat us that way and when we become stronger and our wounds heal our bond will only benefit the both of us. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Initiation

Hello everyone,
or just you the lone reader, don't know how many or how few will read this so I will speak to the individual. What the hell is a blog? I feel pretentious writing one because I have never read one. So I'll just use the space a a therapeutic rant space. My name is Riley, I know typical geek name. It appears to have been destined for me to be a geek. I go by the handle of Darkwoulfe. I'll explain that one later because right now, I can't think of any way of explaining it without sounding like I need meds. Darkwoulfe seems geeky also, but in a cool geeky way. It fits me, I think.

First let's get into the geek thing, I mean it is in the title I should address it. I'm a geek because I don't fit in, never have, apparently never will. Could be I just will have never have mass appeal. That's cool though, cause I pretty much hate people. Not everyone just the masses who are too lazy to even engage their 3 brain cells to accept or analyze anything out of the norm. Lets call them the "Normals." Here's a bit I've learned about the normals to pass on to geeks/nerds everywhere especially the undercover pretenders(those trying so desperately to fit in they have it tied to their self esteem and emotional well being): They are dangerous, THEY WILL NEVER ACCEPT YOU, F* THEM,if you try to pretend to be one of them and they find you out they will always sacrifice you to their gods of normalcy. They cannot fathom why your are different and the thinking about it hurts their heads, in some cases they will kill you for it.

Most likely, if you are like I was when I was a teen, they'll drive you to kill yourself. Luckily I'm still here, yay. The pressure was great but I came all hard, crisp and crusty, like a well cooked snoot. Now when I find normals trying to pressure a nerd in to being like them or giving them trouble about being themselves, I go ballistic, but not as bad as when I find nerd pretenders. More F* words and MotherF* words fly than fly's on sh* when I find them. Don't comply no matter what. Do what you gotta do and no more. It's more healthy to be yourself than trying to be someone else's ideal. Life is way too short for you not to enjoy yourself as God intended you to be, plus he won't be pleased if you squander the gift of geekiness.

The Black part, yeah it's in the title and it too defines who I am. A Black man in America, whew, it's toughest of the two and I ain't even got it that bad. The worse thing about being Black the more I try to get a handle on it the deeper and more complex it gets. It's probably because being black puts me in an artificial second-class citizen category, one that I am only familiar with in American culture. Though there are many writings and proof of it's existence no definitive evidence on how to overcome it sidestep it. There are many well known writings on how we as a people wish to rise above this, and more on how to keep yourself strong in the face of such overwhelming adversity, but I am a conqueror, a knight. I don't want to dodge, or pray for a better future, I want bash people over the head with the same club they're comin at me with. Everyone's safe right now though cause I have yet to figure it out.

What I think I have figured out: White people and others can be cooler than a fan individually. I don't even have problems with interracial coupling. White Society is vicious and ugly but has the greatest public relations campaign since Jesus no disrespect. Non-whites are treated badly obviously and consistently and it's repeatedly explained away as isolated incidents. Just how many isolated incidents equal a problem? Is it like tootsie roll center licks? Does anyone even really care? White society is tired of hearing about it but don't want to take any action. We are tired of being kicked in the head but don't know what to do to stop it. Conundrum let's call it that. I'll eventually crack the code.

Here's a small list of people whom I believe have cracked the code either by luck of the draw or through skill of their minds most are in some type of entertainment medium. If this is the key I'm doomed.

People today that have risen above:
Jay-Z(Have to admit didn't like this guy when he first came out but he has earned my respect.)
Dame Dash(didn't even know about him but I think that may be the way he likes it, also has earned respect)
Russel Simmons(Can't even fathom what goes on in ole boys mind definitely keeps sh* to himself didn't give him respect until Def Comedy Jam but he was makin moves way before then)
Tavis Smiley(T-Dog, this dude is my man, intelligent, dangerous and likeable this dude is the Black Intellectual James Bond)
Ice-Cube(Every-body knows what's up he handles his business, messin with is money is like playin with his emotions)
Snoop(This dude has transformed himself into an Icon without someone pimpin him like Dre is pimpin Eminem)
Oprah(I'm still on the fence on this one but she appears to be havin a good time)
Denzel Washington
David Steward(Hometown hero got one of the largest computer sales businesses in the U.S.
Old-Skool List:
Cosby(Don't know what the F* he's talkin bout these days but he has made his mark)
Ray Charles(Didn't know till Jamie Fox let me know)
Frederick Douglass
Jack Johnson(By God's grace)

Ok that's it for the "Initiation" shouts out to all who read it leave any comments you want.
