haka
Here's the lyrics to the Maori haka dance. It's a dance/song often performed by the New Zeland All Blacks rugby team before their matches, inducing pure liquid testosterone to spew out of their nipples before the match:
Ka mate ! Ka mate ! I die ! I die !
Ka ora ! Ka ora ! I live ! I live !
Ka mate ! Ka mate ! I die ! I die !
Ka ora ! Ka ora ! I live ! I live !
Tenei te tangata puhuru huru This is the hairy person
Nana nei i tiki mai Who fetched the Sun
Whakawhiti te ra And caused it to shine again
A upa ... ne ! ka upa ... ne ! One upward step ! Another upward step !
A upane kaupane whiti te ra ! An upward step, another.. the Sun shines !!!
Hi !!!
Hi. I personally like line five of the song. Our coach is from New Zeland, by the way.
Yaaay! It's raining today! A lot! The supposed leak in the air conditioning unit is actually a roof leak. I'm debating wether or not to call the roomate, who's in Provincetown at the moment. Not much we can do about it at the moment.
Crap. We lost the bid for the 2012 Olympics. Not only would it have been cool, but it would have meant a lot of jobs for the area during a very grim economic period. I can totally see myself working on some organizational committee.
In other DC news, I'll have to make sure I vote for our current mayor Anthony Willams on Sept. 10. The dork hired some moron who forged signatures for his campaign petition. Why on Earth would anyone feel the need to forge signatures for such a popular mayor? So Mayor Williams was disqualified being on the ballot, and must now be a write-in. He was predicted to be a shoe-in, but now some very scary Marion Berryesque candidates are running on the ticket validly.
I am of two minds on this subject. On the one hand I'm proud to have seen this city improve by leaps and bounds under a more competent mayor. However, housing prices and rent have skyrocketeted, and now it's almost as bad as San Francisco and New York City. If it wasn't for my roomate, I really don't know how much I'd be paying for rent right now. As it is, I pay $750 for a room. I should never have left that cheap basement apt. I used to live in.
So if another incompetent cult of personality crackhead gets elected as mayor, businesses will leave the District once again, the quality of service will plummet, and with it the housing prices and rent. That will mean less obnoxious yuppies, strollers, Jennifers, Chandras and Monicas as well (they flee in terror under the threat of the ghetto). The feeble DC groove that has since disappeared will return.
Aaaah...I visit Larry the chiropractor today after a long hiatus. I needed to go weeks ago, but due to my cheap-ass insurance, I had to wait a minimum of 10 days for pre-approval. This makes so much sense when you're in spinal agony.
Phil tells me some of my blog entries have been cut off. Sometimes my entries seem to only go as far down as the links on the right sidebar. Does anyone else have this problem? Do let me know...I'm trying to figure out this bug.

hey, do you actually send people the steps of the All Blacks' Haka? well, i'm a new fan and i'd like it a lot to know and learn the steps of the Haka. it's just so quick in the TV that i can hardly catch any of it. so i was just wondering if it would be possible for you to email me something or direct me somewhere.
