The latest installment of The High Definite’s mixtape series uses the Cubicle Party songs selected in the last 3 months of last year. With these songs, we say goodbye to The Aughts and the terrible year capping them off. Good fucking riddance.
Much thanks goes out to the peerless Mikey Beats of Sleeping Giant Music for pushing out yet another quality project for this site. I’d also like to thank my pal Claudia for working with my childish sketch and somehow turning it into another great piece of cover art.
I want to take a minute to sincerely thank all that donated to this month’s coffer. As a result, this month’s GAS Project came to $968.86 which isn’t huge, but it’s definitely 3-4 times larger than the normal GAS Project donations, so that’s awesome.
In related news, Matt H. from St. Louis is the randomly selected winner for the Texts From Last Night book that Gotham Books has been so kind to provide.
Thanks again. Next month’s GAS Project Charity will go up next week.
1. I put up a survey a couple months ago in order to get a breakdown of The High Definite readership. Here are the results. I’ll leave the survey up in case you’re feeling participatory or if you want to confess your love/hate for this shit anonymously.
Women: Brad Pitt, James Franco, Tie: Hillary Clinton, Glenn Beck
2. Photo Booth is updated.
3. The GAS Project collected $223.90 for the Children’s Defense Fund last month, thanks to those that donated. I’ll update this month’s GAS Project shit tomorrow.
4. Got more visitors in August than I had the first 6 months I had this blog going. Thanks for reading.
Since the internet was boring as shit today, I decided to do a little homework.
1. I’m putting up a survey to get to know you fucks a little better and to figure out what kind of demographics this site caters to. It’s 9 questions…soo please fill it out…or don’t and be a dick.
2. I finally got around to updating the Photo Booth. So enjoy that shit.
3. The GAS Project donated $234.95 to Operation Homefront last month. Thanks to all of you that donated and thanks to those of you that have donated this month so far.
4. Readership for June 2009 (Green means viewers):
You might notice the NextRound feed widget that’s been added to the sidebar. I’ll be contributing over there throughout the week so feel free to wander over and see my retarded ramblings on another awesome site. Also, I’ve started linking to my buddy’s blog over at I’m Totally Serious, Bro in the morning Coffee Breaks. I pretty much rely on his blog for news that’s way too mature and important for me to post here. So go over there and learn some grownup shit if you get bored. As far as The High Definite goes, things around here should be pretty much business as usual. Thanks for reading.
I’m almost done reposting all the videos that I’ve ever posted. I’m done with 2009 and am halfway through the posts from 2008, I’ll let you know when my full video aresenal is back up to speed.
I moved this site so that I could put Google Analytics on it in the beginning of this month. It’s seriously ridiculous the amount of data they show you, and I found it interesting that since June 2 people have viewed it from every state in the US except for the haters in fucking Alaska. The darker the green, the more readers.
You might notice things are a little different around here. I’m currently in the process of making this site more wonderful for your viewing pleasure. This is particularly difficult because I don’t have a fucking clue of what I’m doing. But don’t you worry, I’ll be updating all day like usual, and I’ll be slowly sorting out the kinks as I figure things out. That being said, if someone actually knows what they’re doing with this shit and can throw me a bone I’d really appreciate it.
Brian Westley read my post about an Atheist group spending all that loot to put “There Probably Isn’t A God” posters all over the U.K. My biggest complaint was why they didn’t follow through with the statement and say that “There Isn’t A God” if they were going to spend so much money to make a statement. Apparantly, if I did any research at all for my posts (which I don’t), then I would have taken a second to read the FAQs on the Atheist Bus website. Here’s the response for “Why Probably” taken from their website:
“As with the famous Carlsberg ads (‘probably the best lager in the world’), ‘probably’ helps to ensure that our ads will not breach any advertising codes Committee of Advertising Practice advised the campaign that “the inclusion of the word ‘probably’ makes it less likely to cause offence, and therefore be in breach of the Advertising Code.”
Ariane Sherine has said, ‘There’s another reason I’m keen on the “probably”: it means the slogan is more accurate, as even though there’s no scientific evidence at all for God’s existence, it’s also impossible to prove that God doesn’t exist (or that anything doesn’t). As Richard Dawkins states in The God Delusion, saying “there’s no God” is taking a “faith” position. He writes: “Atheists do not have faith; and reason alone could not propel one to total conviction that anything definitely does not exist”. His choice of words in the book is “almost certainly”; but while this is closer to what most atheists believe, “probably” is shorter and catchier, which is helpful for advertising. I also think the word is more lighthearted, and somehow makes the message more positive.’”
Welp. I asked a question, and I got a genuine answer, which was a pretty damn good one. There aren’t many moments of humility for me on this blog, but I’m man enough to realize a good point when I see one. I’m also man enough to flex so hard females get pregnant just looking at me. It’s a gift.
I got a comment on the “5 Commercial Characters That Need To Be Killed…” joint this evening. If you haven’t read it, it’s an article on 5 different commercial characters that are currently in commercials that should be taken out next year. Now, comments just don’t show up on this site, I approve all of them and there aren’t a whole lot (hint), but there is a lot of spam by people trying to get a little traffic love. Most of the time I reject them, but I’ve let a few in just for the hell of it. However, this shameless act of self-promotion cracked me up, so it deserved better treatment than a normal comment. Robert…feeling his Myspace blog complaining about commercials from 2007 was far too similar to mine, decided to let me know in the following comment:
Not a single item matches up? Oh. Well then obviously since the individual items on our lists and our subjects don’t match up, the only thing they have in common is that they are complaints about commercials. So, Robert, you’ve invented complaining about commercials and I apologize for taking your idea. If I use any of your other patented blogging techniques like “writing about news that happened today” or “writing business stuff” then please feel free to contact me directly.
Thanks for reading bud, seriously, I’m still growing.
I wouldn’t expect to find a whole lot of new content over the next couple of days. However, randomly clicking on the categories to the right will result in endless hilarity from before this blog was remotely popular. As my final post before Christmas, I leave you the following clip from one of the best “Christmas-themed” and “Child Hilariously and Painfully Outwits Grown Men” movies of all time. I’m sorry I couldn’t find the Hanukkah or Kwanzaa versions.Happy Holidays.
