HIPSTER RUNOFF

Yall. 'sorry about the lack of posts.' I have read on other blogs that blogs are maintained by people who have 'real livez''. Sometimes, these real lives' can get 'totally stressed.' The blog is put on the backburner because there are more important things in life than a 'little section of the internet.'

n e ways... I am s000000000 stressed. Shoulda studied more all year! I am suuuch a procrastinator! It's kinda weird cuz I actually like learning, and I like interesting stuff but I never study until the last minute! h8 myself! but it always works out. I usually pull 'meaningful all nighters' with groups of my closest friends. We put on our comfiest jogging pants and sweaters, and take over local coffee shops/dorm study lounges/other places that are better for socializing than studying.

My fave part about exam week is telling other ppl what I have 2 do. It is important that they know that my life is more important than theirs because I have more things to do, and the tasks which I must perform are more important than theirs. There is s0 little time between now and exams. I won't get to do the things that I'd like to do for recreation, but sacrificing these desires once every six months makes me a complete person.

I can't 4get 2 charge my iPod. Spent a couple of hours making an iTunes playlist called 'Chill Ass Study Grooves.' I have put a lot of kewl artists on it. Some of these artists include:

• Incubus (the chill stuff)
• Radiohead
• Sigur Ros
• Explosions in the Sky
• Zero7
• Feist
• the Notwist
• Beethoven Remixes
• early deathcab
• Boards of Canada
• Animal Collective (early stuff)
• Panda Bear (unreleased stuff)
• Fort Minor

Studying with my iPod makes me more productive. I attend a university which gave all of the students Macbooks, iPod Nanos, and iPhones. These products make us better students, and make the university more marketable to high school students 'looking for a unique place that fits their personality.'

n e ways...s000 stressed. Need 2 find some adderall, but the city is dry. Might try 2 make a cocktail of 5Hour Energy, Sparks, Red Bull, Rock Star Energy Drink, Vitamin Water, Pepsi Max, OneADay multivitamin, blow, CLIF Bars, Power Bars, and Chewy Granola Bars, and see if that gives me the 'edge' I need 2 ace my Psychology 101 course. S00 stressed. Our professor is s00 hard, but in the end it makes us 'get' the subject more. Kinda sux, but kinda good since it is making me more aware of the world. (Shoulda gone to design skewl so that I would be passionate about my courses.)

Kinda wish the test was all multiple choice. h8 free response. h8 essay tests! i s000 don't know what I'm talking about! s00 stressed. Might just order some pizza. What are yall doing 2nite?

FINAL EXAMS
MAKE ME A BETTER PERSON
BECAUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME
IN MY LIFE
I FEEL LIKE I AM AN ADULT
WHO HAS REAL RESPONSIBILITIES.

// I LIVE IN THE REAL WORLD ////

What do yall do when ur stressed/preparing 4 exams?
Plz feel free to share some 'study tips.'

(s000 f*ckng stressed)

"Can u plz blg abt the new Justice video?" -HRO CMMNTRs when "S.T.R.E.S.S." was released via the Kanye West Blog (was that a metaphor about race and stuff?)

NOTE: I AM NOT A NEWS BLOG. I AM AN ANALYSIS BLOG. I AM A BLOG BLOG.

I learned what I am supposed to take away from this video at two blogs.

The Pedestrian.TV blog:

"…the video was meant to be unplayable on tv, like ’stress’ is unplayable on the radio. It was not meant as a commentary on society, nor was it our intention to shock people or promote racism or hatred. We consciously chose to release it on one site only. The unforeseen spread of the video has forced us to think about how hard it is to control where your art is going. “Stress” is meant to provoke discussion, like all contemporary cinema, art and literature."

The Butter Team wrote:

Videographer/new wave documentarian Romain Garvas and his Kourtrajmé crew are expanding our grasp of France's often overlooked socioeconomic struggles. A largely African artist collective bent on expressing the French minority experience via film, Kourtrajmé was a solid choice to raise pulses and questions with Justice's "Stress."

I guess I can respect that from an artistic/new media/'I pretend to appreciate French Films' point of view. I really want to know who is the REAL mastermind behind Justice's image and business decisions. Busy P? Gaspard or Xavier? Tommy Banghalter?

My thoughts on the video:
1. I like violence, but I think there could have been more overt sexual violence. When we are talking about troubled youth who are experiencing status frustration, I think some sort of rape/public group masturbation/experimentation with bisexuality/group violation of a young woman was VERY necessary in this video. It would be like making a movie about a school shooting called ELEPHANT, but not having the two school shooters jerk eachother off in the shower after admitting that they had never been with a girl right before they shoot up the school.
2. A little bit too French New Wavey for me... I would have liked to have seen a little bit more SoMe graphics needlessly flying around the video.
3. I wonder if Busy P wanted this video to inspire Bastille Day 2.0 in France. Sort of like how all of the racial tension in American manifested itself in the Los Angeles Riots (not the band, the actual riots). I guess we'll see if it happens!
4. I wonder what these 'little rascals' would have done if they had seen this little French man in the street:

5. I would have liked to have seen more crimes committed against: altbros, gheys, azns, gypsies, additional festivalBros, cool dads, dykes from the future, young children, it-girls, laptop DJs, DJs in masks, DJs in robot suits, and a few more that I can't think of.
6. The ending where the kidz attack the camera crew is a little bit dumb and has soo been done b4. I guess people who studied French New Wave don't take the time to study the way the SNL skit "The Joe Pesci Show" ends. Jim Bruer, playing Joe Pesci goes after the camera with a baseball bat.
7. The video kind of makes me wish France had some American police. I think our people really could have 'done the job right' and wiped these kids off the Earth. In America, we don't advocate things like glorifying violence just to 'make a point' in an artistic way. Most liberal minded Americans prefer their social commentary in the form of a documentary-directed-by-Michael-Moore.

Just because these kids' parents are poor doesn't mean these kids were doomed into a life of violence. NO MORE EXCUSES.

" 'Status frustration' is no excuse for ending up violent, poor, fat, diseased, disabled, or depressed. "
-America, 2008

I guess this video had the biggest impact on my gmail inbox. Here is an email that I received:

After watching Justice's new "Stress" music video that dropped today, I HAD to make one of the Cross Jackets.
I tried all the Peter Pan shadow methods, but I didn't have anything that would stick a picture of the cross on the back of my leather jacket.
In a situation like this, I turn to masking tape.
Here is the end result of a masked, off-centered Stress Jackeet (as the French would pronounce)
Can't wait to see how many girls turn me down upon seeing this!
If you use this picture I'd appreciate it if you used the alias "D-Town" instead of the name in my e-mail adress.
Thanks mang, love the site.

Keep it hype and God Bless

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF D-TOWN'S HOME-MADE JUSTICE JACKET?

Overall, here's how the world feels about the "Stress" video:

****BONUS FUNNIE VID BY THE SAME DIRECTOR******
Apparently the director of the video made this other music video for DJ Mehdi. It's really good if you are into street racing and the golden era of glorifying Eurotrash in film.

Please let me know what other music videos I need to analyze since I have an Associate's Degree in Film Studies.
