Schmidt Almighty




It's a fact: Pirates are hot and they got the best booty.

About every hour, on the hour, André asks, "Hey, Brooks, when are we gonna be pirates?" Actually, he screams (in manner of Lil' Jon), "WHAT?!" and then, "NEIN!" and then he asks the pirate question. Why does he do this, you ask?

Well, because he spends most of his day looking at shit like this:




Note: If you are a nerd that understands what in the holy hell this crap is, then please (PLEASE) refrain from nerding up my blog with your nerdocity or else you will be spanked with moon rocks.

Obviously, this is going only going to lead a man to do one of two things:

A: Drink heavily
B: Long to trade in his big-ass workbook about aeroelasticity for an eye patch, wooden leg, and a parrot.

And of course...booty galore.

My answer to the pirate question is always, "The day after tomorrow, dude." Which usually shuts his cry hole for about 60 minutes...then we start again from the top.

The other day he actually took a break from studying (gasp!) and he was throwing out some suggestions of possible topics that I could write about.

So, for pretty much only André's amusement

(cause we all know a little Abwechslung can go a long way)

I present:

The Top 10 Reasons Why All Of Your Houseplants Are Growing Mold

10. I, um, calculated the geometry of your plants' leaves using Pan Air and found that they are not aerodynamic...enough. The stems are creating too much overall drag so that air isn't being distributed properly to the...nevermind...just optimize that shit already.

9. Because you lost that hat I gave you and, like everything else in your room, the plants will always take my side.

8. Like people, plants cannot survive on beer alone. They need coffee, too. And -- it goes without saying -- döner.

7. Have you ever invited them to go climbing with you? You've asked just about everyone else. They could just be feeling left out and maybe they want to see S.A.M III without his shirt on.

6. Because you forgot to say the magic words three times fast: "Exchange student, exchange student, exchange student"

5. Did you ever stop to think that it's not mold? Maybe your plants are sluts...and just maybe they caught some kind of plant-herpes.

4. Two words: Freestyle jazz. Plants hate hip-hop. Seriously. Want proof? Just step out on to Alex's balcony. Whaddya got to say now, biotch?!

3. Oh the irony: your plants are slowly but surely transforming into mushrooms. Because God knows how much you l-o-v-e, love mushrooms and he just wants you to be happy *wink wink* (see #2)

2. Because you want to leave the church and that makes Baby Jesus cry. Everyone knows that Baby Jesus' tears are the source of all mold everywhere

1. Your plants are monosocialistic...and do not give a fuck about what you think.

The Best Taco Bell in Germany

 Last weekend, I crossed off a major item on my bucket list. I went to Taco Bell in Germany. "But Raven, shouldn't you aspire to better, healthier things that have a measurable positive impact on society?" I know that's what you're thinking, but I don't really give a crap... because you are not the boss of me.  I wanted Taco Bell, because it's probably the one thing from back at home that I crave the most. Say what you want about it (again, I don't give a crap), but get at me when you've spent years away from your homeland and are unable to acquire whatever nasty-ass comfort food is available wherever you're from. For me, my nasty-ass comfort food of choice is Taco Bell...with Sonic a close second. However, you can't even find Sonic all over the U.S. and I don't find myself craving burgers and hot dogs all the time (plus, those urges are a lot easier to satisfy than a craving for Mexican or Tex-mex).

...and now a few words about German Rap #1

Hi, I know many of you don't know or care about German-language rap, but I do. And sometimes I want to write about it. Without proper context or introductions or explanations, it might be a little tough to follow it all. However, I'll try to throw in some wikipedia links. If you do listen to/are interested in German-language rap, then here's a chance to read some of my opinions. - Raven (Keeping in mind that I have no kind of statistics to back this up) But I think that Fettes Brot (the German hip-hop trio) is probably the most overall dissed group in the German rap scene. Notice I used the qualifier "group" because the most dissed individual would probably be Eko Fresh (sorry, Frosty ?)-- because, really, that dude has stepped on A LOT of toes in (comparatively) short amount of time. You could maybe make the same case with Die Fantastischen Vier , but it's hard to diss bajillionaires. I mean, ok, it's actually really easy to diss bajillionaires, just ha...

Saturday Night Videos 5

Lately I've taken to supporting artists via crowd-sourcing sites and the like. I recently touched on that a bit in the last show regarding Chali 2na's Against the Current project. Personally, I think it's an easy/convenient way to support indie artists -- particularly, if you like good music and if you're kinda low on funds yourself. Sometimes there a (reasonable) minimum donation amount to get some new music. Sometimes it's a "pay what you can/want". A few months ago, while perusing The A.V. Club, I read about Rhymesayer artist P.O.S. and how he had to cancel a tour due to medical issues - specifically, because he needs a kidney transplant . Then later - via Facebook posts from other artists - I found out about the fundraiser set up to raise money for his transplant and medical bills. If there's one thing that I learned while living with my ex-ex-ex-roommate, it's that musicians can often be pretty fucked when it comes to medical emergencies. A...
