According to rottenneighbor.coms blog, there are four kinds of bad neighbors: I dont know about you, but I can think of a few more kinds. Nevertheless, rottenneighbor.com is a site offering you the opportunity to plug in a Zip Code and check if someone has registered a rotten neighbor where you want to live. The site is billed as a boon for those wanting to purchase a home and wanting to know what the real estate agent might not be telling you about what the neighbors are like. For example, I typed in a random number for the Zip Code, and got a map for Wisconsin. Up comes the map pictured here (click it for the larger version) and below it a list of entries corresponding to the red markers on the map. Try this link to the Wisconsin page to read the entries for yourself. A sampling of the entries read: Let me start with the sex offender. he is in #316 (right by me) and sexually molested a child. He is living within 300 feet of two schools. Next, a horny man in 309 thinks he can get any girl in the building, and doesnt take no for an answer. he is like 50, and wont leave you alone, and expects you to sleep with him. Then there is the loud guitarist, who sings loudly and very badly, and lives in 206. He also will hit on any girl he sees, and is quite rude if you say no to him. Then there is the fat, paranoid man in 111. he is so paranoid, he threatens to call the cops if you walk by his apartment. he also has this mini step-on door alarm on his patio. yet, when he leaves his he leaves the door wide open. From a homeowner: They let their dogs run loose and never pick up their crap. Theyre training the dogs and so often blow dog whistles, which contrary to popular belief, PEOPLE CAN HEAR. They illegally burn garbage in town in a charcoal grill. Jerks. As you click on a review, the text pops up onto the map in a caption balloon connected to the marker. So what do you think? Is there any merit to this type of site or will the reviews largely be authored by revenge-based vendetta seeking people, or people who get a kick out of the fact that they can actually do this to someone? Check out your location and see if someone out there thinks youre a rotten neighbor. But dont blame me. I didnt sign you up& I live in Canada.

TODAY IS JANUARY 18, 2008 [jeez, why is the date above so fucked up?] i will never let you fall [your guardian angel | red jumpsuit apparatus] ^ Sweetest love song in the world! I get a sense of heartbreak as well as love when I listen to it; it tells a story like that. Dont get turned off by the odd band name like I originally did [: D]. Just try it - Im sure youll adore it. And if youve already heard it, Im proud. ____________________xx I saw 27 Dresses earlier today with three of my friends. I know Im betraying my whole rom-coms suck, fantasies bennie and the jets sci-fis are so much better! phase, but I cant help The whole movie was cliche click flick, but I couldnt help loving it. James Marsden was exceedingly adorable - I loved the whole cynical writer character. [Im a poser that way - I want to be like that xD Yet I never manage to pull the cynicism off quite right& the sarcasm Ive got down, but Im too immature and childish to be so jaded. And, um, anyways&] Granted, it was predictable. Granted, it had its share of over-acting. But it made me smile. And there were some scenes [name: bar scene with Bennie and the Jets] that made me laugh out loud, slightly hysterically [again: childish and immature = me]. I remember cracking up with Kenedy while Em and Talia watched calmly. Maybe Im just inexperienced, but I thought Heigl and Marsden were really cute and charismatic together. And I know everyones like, Oh, please - Kevins the quintessential cocky, arrogant character; who could possibly like him? But come on - havent you ever liked the arrogant, confident guy? Dont tell me you havent. [Honestly, dont. Lying to a twelve-year-old on a blog? Not cool, for lack of a better word.] I liked how the character could be quick-witted without referencing pop culture, of which I know nothing. Plus, I swear - I almost cried when Heigl saw her mothers dress& or, well, the remains of it. I hated the sister in that scene, my god. Heigl gave such a good performance, I was inspired to tell Missy Pam how I really feel about her. [Of course I didnt, being the wimp that I am. But the fact that I was inspired means something, right? After all, the first step is admitting you have a problem. And there were little VOICES in my head telling me to tell Pam the truth. They gave me a headache. I had to rest my head and fight them out. Mmm, yeah - schizophrenia alert much? n_n] 8.5/10 in the regular rating, 4/5 stars. <3 ____________________xx So& what else? I basically just wanted to post because bennie and the jets the movie, but I may as well give a test update for the hell of it. Monday: MLK day; no school Tuesday: potential Alice; Religion; Subcontinent Asia Wednesday: Science Thursday: um& if there is any, Im blanking Friday: Social Studies And then our math midterm that Coach Greta JUST told us about. Apparently Wyatt was talking to Coach Greta about his classs midterm, and she got the wonderful idea to give our class bennie and the jets Of course, ours wont be multiple choice and calculator-friendly. Plus the other class has known about theirs since the beginning of the year. Ugh, lifes unfair. bennie and the jets myself for using such a phrase, but its the gospel truth. ____________________xx Mmm, I think Ill go read or write or listen to Your Guardian Angel on my iPod now - oh, and try to push away the freaking voices in my head that are persuading me to unleash the bitch inside me. Right. >_> ♥, emily c number six |

In the midst of all the Vick coverage, I just had to comment on one little throw-away line in an ESPN.com column yesterday by Gene Wojchiechowski. The column itself was standard stuff: Vick as a cautionary tale, the frequent stupidity of professional athletes, etc. But, the comment below well illustrates the mindset of much of sports media, for whom billionaires riches are to be unquestioned, while millionaire athletes are undeserving pretenders to other peoples money. Wojo wrote: Vick used Atlanta Falcons dred scott case or Nike money, or Coca-Cola money, or EA Sports money (hey, everybody loved Mike back then) to bankroll a gambling operation so repugnant that you need a barf bag to watch the footage of what happens when pit bulls are turned into canine gladiators. I have commented many times before on the schizophrenic relationship of most sports media and sports fans to the market. Most of the time, that relationship is an uncritical one - capitals prerogatives are rarely questioned in a fundamental way in American sports discourse. There are exceptions - complain about ticket prices, for example, notwithstanding the fact that those are set by the laws of supply and demand. But, generally speaking, vast accumulations of wealth - and the attendant political and financial clout that such wealth allows owners and leagues to wield - are well down the dred scott case of topics of interest for sports commentators. Because, in the end of the day, owners can do what they want with their money, their ball, their franchises and their stadiums (even when those stadiums really belong to local taxpayers). When it comes to players salaries, of course, the tone and focus change fundamentally. Fans and commentators complain endlessly about those, notwithstanding the fact that those salaries are also set by a labor market driven by supply and demand. But, the endless harping on them (witness Arods contract) speaks to something deeper - an underlying sense that players arent really entitled to their wealth in the way that owners are. Wojos comment goes farther than most in reflecting that sort of logic: hes actually gone so far as to argue that the money didnt belong to Michael Vick. That Vick did unspeakable (and moronic) things with that money is already well-established. But, how is the money he spent not his? How is that money more legitimately the property of the Falcons, or Nike, or EA or whomever it was who found it in their financial interests to pay Michael Vick? Am I making alot out of that line? Maybe. But, I think its highly revealing - a sentiment based on idea that athletes should never see themselves as anything but lucky to be in the position they are, as always living on borrowed time and as properly understood to be the wards of those institutions in American life that are legitimately entitled to their wealth - major corporations. I noted a few weeks back that Peter King was highlighting efforts by Commissioner Goodell to remind the players that it was a privilege, not a right, to play in the NFL and doubted dred scott case Goodell would ever make a similar comment to NFL owners. There is a perverseness in this double standard about whose fortunes are legitimate and whose are the consequence of other peoples beneficence. Perverseness because one of the key pillars of American capitalism is the notion that those who assume risk deserve the reward. This is doubly wrong-headed when it comes to sports. First, because owning a major league franchise (especially in the NFL) means never assuming meaningful risk. Given the combination of revenue-sharing, an all but legal monopoly, and multi-billion dollar television contracts (not to mention on-going stadium/taxpayer swindles) - owning an NFL team is a license to print money. There is, in no meaningful sense, any risk whatsoever in such a business venture. The second side of the perverseness of the risk argument is that all meaningful risk is assumed by the wage-earners, the players. Their future physical and mental well-being, indeed their very mortality, is at stake. Do they choose that life? Of course. But, that choice doesnt change the fact that they alone assume put something of real value on the line for the well-being of the business. Given the obvious fact that Blank and Nike and everyone else paid Vick because they found it financially beneficial to do so, and given that, by all relevant laws and norms of American economic life, those decisions entitled Vick to the money he received, on what basis could Wojo argue that Vicks money belonged, in fact, to someone else? Only on the basis that pro athletes are, in some fundamental sense, chattel (or children), whose proper relation to management is to thank their masters for their sustenance and to accept their status as something less than entitled citizens. And, you can make all the clever remarks you want about Vick, but the logic of Wojos comment applies to every dred scott case athlete. And, on the merits, is there a serious debate about whether the Arods, Larry Johnsons and Tom Bradys of the world are more deserving of the fortunes theyve made from sports than their owners? Wojo is just the latest in a long line of sports commentators who, oblivious to his own (unearned?) wealth and privilege, has, in the name of common sense and good guy values, has weighed in on the side of billionaires and morally dubious corporations (Im surely not alone in noting the dred scott case of Nike feigning moral indignation over a lack of humaneness). And, in the process, provided another example of the sports corollary of the bullshit populism that has so infused our national conversation. |

I noticed I have been using this avatar frequently these days. Well, as much as I dont want to use it, this post from Oh No They Didnt! truly deserve the OMG-What-is-the-hell-is-that?! expression. Goodness! I cant believe brad renfro fangirled about these people before. Imagine the amount of money I wasted buying Bop, Tigerbeat 16! Save for brad renfro and a few others (like Jonathan Taylor Thomas who now looks like a better-looking Val Kilmer), these former teen idols now look like shit. Its a pity not everyone can be like Leo DiCaprio. Oh,Eddie Furlong and Brad Renfro, what happened to you both? Tsk. Cocaine really does bad things to you. I laughed out loud upon seeing Jason James Richter. Who would believe that he was the boy in Free Willy? He was so cute back then. Le sigh. And Jonathan Brandis. I didnt know he committed suicide. I admit I was never a fan of his but I love The Neverending Story II and Bastian. The news makes me want to brad renfro the movie and watch it all over again. |
