#30. Twitter freaks me out. You have followers? It feels so obsessive and proprietary. #Quote by Mos Def

#31. Yo, it's 1 universal law but 2 sides to every story,
3 strikes and you be in for life, mandatory.
4 MC's murdered in the last 4 years,
I ain't tryin to be the 5th one, the Millennium is here.
Yo, it's 6 million ways to die, from the 7 deadly thrills,
8-year olds gettin' found with 9 mill's.
It's 10 P.M., where your seeds at? What's the deal? #Quote by Mos Def

#32. MEANWHILE, THERE'S THE New Millennium technology craze . . . holy moly, is there ever . . . the breathless infatuation with hi-def, 3D, 5G, glued to the hand, glued to the ear, twenty-first-century cyber gee-whizzery. They're coming at us so fast - the gizmos, the doodads, the gimcracks, the wonderments - so ubiquitously, so overwhelmingly, we've not yet found how best to wrangle each new miracle into genuine usefulness. #Quote by David McCullough Jr.

#33. Ten Best Song to Strip
1. Any hip-swiveling R&B fuckjam. This category includes The Greatest Stripping Song of All Time: "Remix to Ignition" by R. Kelly.

2. "Purple Rain" by Prince, but you have to be really theatrical about it. Arch your back like Prince himself is daubing body glitter on your abdomen. Most effective in nearly empty, pathos-ridden juice bars.

3. "Honky Tonk Woman" by the Rolling Stones. Insta-attitude. Makes even the clumsiest troglodyte strut like Anita Pallenberg. (However, the Troggs will make you look like even more of a troglodyte, so avoid if possible.)

4. "Pour Some Sugar on Me" by Def Leppard. The Lep's shouted choruses and relentless programmed drums prove ideal for chicks who can really stomp. (Coincidence: I once saw a stripper who, like Rick Allen, had only one arm.)

5. "Amber" by 311. This fluid stoner anthem is a favorite of midnight tokers at strip joints everywhere. Mellow enough that even the most shitfaced dancer can make it through the song and back to her Graffix bong without breaking a sweat. Pass the Fritos Scoops, dude.

6. "Miserable" by Lit, but mostly because Pamela Anderson is in the video, and she's like Jesus for strippers (blonde, plastic, capable of parlaying a broken nail into a domestic battery charge, damaged liver). Alos, you can't go wrong stripping to a song that opens with the line "You make me come."

7. "Back Door Man" by The Doors. Almost too eas #Quote by Diablo Cody

#34. That idea of peace and love toward humanity shouldn't be nationalistic or denominational. It should be a chief concern for all mankind. #Quote by Mos Def

#35. I think the resolution involved in the high-def, Blu-ray image demands we pay attention to every detail to a level we've never seen before. The audiences have to believe everything they're seeing. As viewers, we're all so experienced and so much smarter than we realize. With Blu-ray, there will be less tricking of the eye. #Quote by Michael Mann

#36. Beef is not what Jay said to Nas;
Beef is when the working folks can't find jobs. #Quote by Mos Def
