4 of 30 - World Leaders & Music

[aggienaut]

   Not much time today, gotta pack everything up and suchforth. Tomorrow I'm going to be on the train all day, so thats gonna set me even FURTHER behind my vow of 30 entries in 15 days )=< but once I'm home maybe I'll have time to catch up.
   And tomorrow, tomorrow y'all are going to get 11 Hours in Amtrak Custody. At least halfway as exciting as incomple's 24 hours in Borders. Well maybe if I actually had a digital camera.

   I had an idea for this entry but I don't think I have time for it now, because Kritsy is comin over before too long and I need to pack.


Discussion Topics of the Day
   So instead I'll try to start some discussions. Please respond to as many of the following as possible, and then try to convince other commenters that you are far more correct than they are.
   Topic 1: How would the world be today if Vladimir Lenin had embraced a regime of bolshevik emo-ism rather than communism (assuming he could somehow have been familiar with Bright Eyes and Postal Service). Would there have been a different logo other than the hammer & sickle? Would he have preferred Dashboard or something better like Promise Ring (or name an emo band of your choice)?
   Topic 2: Which american music group could you most easily picture Saddam Hussain being a part of?
   Topic 3: If one of the following were to grow an awesome mohawk, who would be more likely to do so? (A) George W Bush, (B) George Bush senior, (C) Condoleeza Rice, (D) John Ashcroft, (E) Donald Rumsfeld.
   Topic 4: Who would have kept a more interesting livejournal? (A) Ivan IV (the terrible), (B) Taliban leader Mullah Omar (did they ever catch that dude?), (C) Stalin, (D) Mousolinni (sp?), (E) Ghengis Khan, (F) Attila the Hun.
   Bonus Point on Topic 4: Would it be a megablog or an underblog?

   Also related to Topic 4, an excellent example of what one of these world leaders' livejournals might be like is that of North Korea (DPRK)'s kim_jong_il__.

if you ask me.. i could see saddam as being a boy band follower.. as much as he hates american culture.. he looves bands like back street boys. he just could never bring himself to admitt it

i would love to read stalins livejournal. he would be talking about what a sweet father he was..and how he loved all of his people..then all of a sudden, he would have a mood swing and start talking about his purges and how he doesnt trust any one of his advisors. it would be way interesting to track the thoughts of a mad, power hungry russian who was known as the "sweet, at-least-he-isnt-hitler" Uncle Joe.

I go for 1: The icon (the word isn't icon -- what sayeth I?) would have hella been a teardrop instead of the hammer and sickle. One lonely little teardrop. On a black background, to imply the dark relief of death after a miserable life. Or is that too far onto goth territory? It could be an eggshell-white background to represent the blankness of life. That's emo to the max, yo.

George H(?) Bush

George H.W. Bush

the little one just lacks the "H" -- the "W" is "Walker" in both cases

the "H" is Herbert. Maybe after Herbert Hoover. he he.

Stop posting so much, you're taking up half the space on my friends page now.

That is all.

I disagree with this comment in its entirety

I'll shamelessly comment on Topic 2

I think Saddam would have performed well in Guns & Roses. Perhaps as lead singer or on the spoons.

All of the above "leaders" should sport mohawks. It's obviously a sign of advanced leadership ability. Oh, wait, maybe it.....
