today’s song of the week:
“heaven knows i’m miserable now” by the smiths

after taking a short survey of some people
out of whom only two responded…
i have determined that 50% of the population is fairly unaware of coca-cola’s new drink, mello yello
and so i wonder, where the hay is their marketing?
i have seen no ads … at all
do they expect sales to skyrocket because we see it in the store? or the last button in the vending machine? (replacing dasani mineral water, f00s)
most people don’t even know what “mellow” means and that drink seems more green than it seems yellow …
where’s the marketing? where’s the marketing?
it seems to be pitted against pepsi’s mountain dew (a mountain dew wannabe, it seems)
but mountain dew has effective marketing aimed at teens (particulary the white snowboarding type) as is seen through their ads
but i haven’t seen any mello yello ads … none
what’s going on here?
it just popped up in the vending machine one day, and i saw some other kids trying it out so i did it, too
do they expect it to spread via word-of-mouth?
(maybe i’m helping a capitalistic corporation around by writing about this and “surveying” my entire icq list …)
who knows, who knows, who knows
i shall check out the coke web site for more details…
because this is making me go bananas
which are also mellow and yellow …

yes yes yes
the raptors made it to the playoffs after all
i say TAKE THAT to all the haters
i say it again, TAKE THAT
ha ha ha
…
ha

hakeem for prez
raps all the way
ha ha

can ya dig it?

today’s song of the week:
“black helicopters” by non phixion

you have to love that jewish tune at the beginning that continues throughout the song

great underground hip hop

today’s song of the week:
“dream a little dream” by the mamas and the papas

(much thanks to princess leia for introducting the band to me, and therefore resulting in me finding the song … which i have been looking for for a while now)

and then finally
i went to archery
and it rocked
though my aim’s terribly off
i’m regaining it pretty well

and i cleaned up my study table

and i also drank mello yello
coca-cola’s new drink

today has been a very fulfilling day so far (wait till it all blows up for one reason or another)

today’s song of the week:
“ask” by the smiths

great tune

much jazaks to br. samir for introducting non phixion and jeru the damaja — some ill rap there

my song of the week:
