After spending the night in jail, he pleaded guilty, received a 30-day sentence, and had to pay a $1,000 fine.

Prowling the internet for something to read today I stumbled onto something pretty cool. It’s called ‘Sanza Hanza’ which means ‘King Surfer’ and is a photozine and upcoming mini documentary. Basically there is a crew of kids called V.I.R.U.S (see title for meaning) from Soweto, South Africa’s largest ghetto. Whilst dealing with the pressures of being impoverished and not representative of the western views of SA they are also a fucking insane bunch of daredevils! What benefits do they get from doing this - I don’t know and frankly I don’t give a shit, what matters is that they do it and it’s fucking badass!

Peep teasers from the movie at the STREET CARNAGE BLOG. If you want to order the photozine and can part with your hard earned 4 pound sterling then it’s available to buy as well.

I might even see if i can catch the tide on the way to B-town this weekend, just need to figure how I’ll open the doors to get outside the trizzzain…. and on that note.

The Meaning of Dope

SIck new Blog for those who love to scour the depths to find that old school clip…

“During a time where immediate answers can be found at a glance on Google or search on Wikipedia, digging is downloadable and footage is as findable as a peruse on YouTube, it’s difficult to find an active Hip-Hop head who cares to be a fan of this culture for their own reasons outside of past times and popularity.

The Meaning Of Dope looks to stand as a respectable ground hosting some of this culture’s past prize moments and memories, spanning from videotaped classics to street team S.W.A.G., and from personal stories as active fans experiencing Hip-Hop’s “Golden Era”, to posting mix-tapes from a time when they needed to meet two criteria - mixing, and being on tape.

We pride ourselves on putting young cats onto shit they’re guaranteed to have never seen live, and giving some nostalgic sparks to the older heads who feel that time has spoiled their art.

We Welcome Ya’ll to The Meaning Of Dope.”

Lysergic acid diethylamide, LSD, LSD-25, or acid,
September 17, 2008, 3:21 pm
Filed under: Celebrating life, Death, Distant Lands, Man's Got To Eat, Pain

Is a semisynthetic psychedelic drug of the ergoline family. Its unusual psychological effects, which include visuals of colored patterns behind the eyes, a sense of time distorting, crawling geometric patterns, and the loss of the user’s sense of identity has made it one of the most widely known psychedelic drugs. It has been used mainly as a recreational drug, an entheogen, and a tool to supplement various practices for transcendence, including in meditation,psychonautics, art projects, and illicit, formerly legal psychedelic therapy.

It is synthesized from lysergic acid derived from ergot, a grain fungus that typically grows on rye, and was first synthesized by Swisschemist Albert Hofmann. The short form LSD comes from its early code name LSD-25, which is an abbreviation for the German “Lysergsäure-diethylamid” followed by a sequential number.[1][2]

LSD is sensitive to oxygen, ultraviolet light, and chlorine, especially in solution, though its potency may last for years if it is stored away from light and moisture at low temperature. In pure form it is colorless, odorless, and mildly bitter.[2]

LSD is typically delivered orally, usually on a substrate such as absorbent blotter paper, a sugar cube, or gelatin. In its liquid form, it can be administered by intramuscular or intravenous injection. The threshold dosage level needed to cause a psychoactive effect on humans is between 20 and 30 µg (micrograms).

Introduced by Sandoz Laboratories as a drug with various psychiatric uses, LSD quickly became a therapeutic agent that appeared to show great promise. However, the extra-medicinal use of the drug in Western society during the mid-twentieth century led to a political firestorm that resulted in the banning of the substance.[3] A number of organizations—including the Beckley Foundation, MAPS, Heffter Research Institute and the Albert Hofmann Foundation—exist to fund, encourage and coordinate research into its medicinal uses.[4]

P.s Acid is still tres bad and also in hindsight funny as funk. Thanks Wikipedia your the best!

The 2006 edition trailer for Ninja Scroll - a seriously violent film. What a classic Manga. Probs my favorite.


The Ninja Scroll blind samurai fight - I wanted to put up the ogre battle from the beginning but I couldn’t find it, crumbs.


And I thought I’d wack up the motorbike scene at the beginning of Akira because that shit is rowdy. Check out the tracers from the bike lights. Thats 327 different colours right there. Pow.

Keep an eye out cos Leonardo DiCaprio (yes, that jockey from Titanic) is co-producing the live-action version of Akira which is due out some time 2009.

It was a Friday in the month of May, kinda time all the shorties get they game on play, young crack who only refers to himself in the third person for data protection reasons (don’t ask?) was parking lot pimpin in the playground, you know swinging and see-saw gang-banging when he decided to two step it into one of Brighton’s local fish-markets!! He recalls ‘I think it was called Saqqaras’ He says with a drunken burp which smelt mildly of garlic and oyster sauce with the smallest hit of rosemary.

Young Crackston Stevens entered this club aka whore house for the young black-male community and peeped the art-deco vibe, recalling to himself yet again ‘ osmosis Jones!!’. Our hero proceeded to G-funk-step it unto the dance floor where he wiggled tightly like a car filled with Mexicans insulated by sweat and sexual gratuitous mating dance rituals and yet more sweat until he managed to slither his way to the bar. However on the way, Crack managed to glance a few knickers of the girls dancing on the high platforms by pretending to do the worm like ‘Scotti-too-hottie’.

Pon arrive at ze bar Crack purchased a glass of water which was free and sum how by contractaully endorsing the egos of the few acquaintances which were not really his friends he accumalated enough cash-monay to buy himself a couple of beers (which is no reflections on my manz bank account!!). Well several seconds later crack was buzzing like a killer Wu-tang bee on kool aid and went back pon dance-floor to mac some bitches. He feast his eyes on this girl whose name can not also be disclosed to to data protection but we shat call her ‘Project X’ who works at the retail store Zara in Churchill Square and once got Crack a discount on a fresh suit!!.

Sweetly whispering with the odd burst of spit caressing her earlobe he uttered. ‘You got a boyfriend?’ X said ‘ yeah he is over there’ abashedly pointing to some darkened corner of the club. Crack undeterred by the she-whores mind games took another look at her booty (that’s street talk for phat ass, which itself it sweet talk for tender perfectly formed round buttocks) and said seductively ‘ well if i were your boyfriend I’d tie you to a lamp-post and douse you with marmite, whilst peeing in your shoes!’ X looked surprised but giggled to young Crakstons humorous utterance.
They continued to banter and eventually Cracks genitalia was rubbing against the buttocks of this fine university specimen!! What was to come next would be embarrassing to the faint of heart but to Crack it was stating his arrival and similar the scientific fact that dogs pee on trees to mark their territory Crack ordered his penis rise and protrude this girls neither denim clenched derriere region….

Crack: ‘So you gonna give me your digits or am i gonna have to knock you the fuck out?’

X: [giggles] ‘oh your so funny, my boyfriend doesn’t make me laugh or feel wanted.’

Crack: ‘well how about you give me your number baby and I’ll make you feel like a natural woman as opposed to an anal infection’

X: [ giggles] ‘there you go again making me laugh, pass me your phone on the sly and I’ll type them in’

Crack passes her his tamogotchi

X: ‘what the fuck is this?’

Crak: looking surprised but unflustered : ‘It’s a Tamogotchi you stupid bitch!, what the fuck does it look like?’

X: ‘oh okay, …..but i asked for your phone?’

Crak passes her his Nokia 2310 equipped with missing number buttons, she gives him her number painstakingly and unsubtly typing number 4 which is missing over and over again. Before she can say will u call Crak dissapears like a theif in the night….

TO BE CONTINUED!!
