I don't know about you, but I think this is pretty funny.

"Don't obey the teacher
Who tells you to shut up
Who'll mold you into useless robots
Who aren't allowed to feel

Just quit your job tomorrow
Just quit your job today
You take a permanent vacation
You're dying everyday"
- Mourning Widows, "No Regrets"

I doubt most of you will get a chance to, but if Equilibrium is still playing at any theater in your town you must go see it! Im not even playing around about this. If you don't, you'll wish you had.

From now until Tuesday night at midnight I will be trying my best to keep myself locked away from television so as not to accidentally see the new Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers trailer that is floating around the airwaves and the internet. I'm already excited enough about this movie without having this new trailer, which I'm told shows a little too much, spoiling any of the surprises or money shots that I'm paying to see on the big screen. Am I being too wierd? I can never tell.
On the other hand, if you'd like to see the new trailer for X-Men 2, I think that's ok.
This flick looks pretty funny while I'm on the subject of movie trailers.

Now if this doesn't look pretty wicked I don't know what does.

You know kids, there's an awful lot of stuff going on in the world at the moment to make someone, like me or you, pretty scared and/or uncertain about the future. I'm led to believe there's a threat of biological or nuclear warfare from any number of foreign powers, there's .. ahh skip it, I don't feel like getting all serious. Hip Today shouldn't bum you out. So forget all of that, everything is going to be ok.


Take The Ewan McGregor Test!

Today's AM Radio song: "Oh Oh Oh"

The best DVD news I've heard in a while.. click1 and click2.

Andrew WK is up for two awards at the VH1 Big Awards or whatever the hell they're called this year. Anyway, here's the links to the categories he's in so you can support our favorite slammer: Heavy Lifting and Bend and Stretch.

Help me spread a little Hip Today holiday cheer!

Very often this is how I feel..


Have you been getting these AM Radio songs? Well, you'd better be, because they're good. Real good. Here's one of my favorites, Hush.

As promised here is another AM Radio song: "Becoming You" (just click on it to hear it, or right click and "Save As.." to make it yours forever)

As promised, albeit a very long time ago, here are my pictures from Halloween 2002. Let me know what you think, won't you?

I'm not saying anyone should get me the medium Red Superman shirt this website has for Christmas, but it is the one Superman shirt I really want that I don't have. That's all I'm saying.

For those of you that have wanted to watch the Shopping Cart Shenanigans Part 1 and have been unable to, hopefully this will let you do so.
Copy this address: http://www.geocities.com/hiptoday3/MOV01007.MPG
Paste that address into your browser thing, and that should let you watch it.
Let me know if it doesn't.
(As I said before, unfortunately this video cuts off right before "Part 2" took place, so we didn't get it recorded. Take my word for it though, it was far more painful, and my butt will attest to that fact.)

Check out this guy's site and Happy Holidays everybody!

AM Radio is currently one of my favorite bands, and they should be one of yours as well.... so to help speed that process along here's their song "If This Is the End of the World". (Just right click on the song title and pick Save As...)
There will be more AM Radio songs for you to download all week.

I'm feeling better than I did when last you heard from me in case you were wondering. Things still aren't as I'd like them to be with a lot of things, but I'm feeling a little less bleak about it all.

I've known a lot of girls before
What's the harm in knowin' one more?
Maybe we could even get together
Maybe you could break my heart next summer
Why bother?
It's gonna hurt me
It's gonna kill when you desert me...
- Weezer, "Why Bother"

Sometimes you think you've got things all figured out and that you're really in control, and then life decides to show you otherwise in a big way. Maybe I'm just a big baby, but sometimes it seems like everyday it gets harder and harder to want to be alive. Maybe I'll feel different tommorow...

I got this from Shawn in an e-mail and I'll quote him exactly..
"I am sorry because as you know I am not for spewing filth from the internet. But you are not going to believe how unfortunate this poor girl is. This is nothing obscene, but you have to see to believe it."
See for yourself.

Wow... I mean.. wow. The trailer for Equilibrium. Christian Bale further establishes himself as one of my favorite actors.

This is why my childhood was better than any kid's childhood these days: Super Golden Crisp.

Something special to see here. I thought it was anyway..

I'd like to thank all of you for making November Hip Today's biggest month ever, and it looks like December could be even bigger, so thank you for that as well. Once again, I have to stress to all of you that if there's anything I can do or add to the site to make you enjoy it more or get you to come more often or that you think would get more people headed this way, please let me know. OK, on to the other stuff.

There's a new bunch of pictures available for the viewing now.

David Cross has CD out now. Buy it.

I'll be getting new ink soon I think.

I'd like to thank Megan and Stephen for their recent additions of Hip Today products to their homes, cars, or places of business. These are kids who know where it's at, wouldn't you like to join their ranks?

Edward says he's going to write something, and he asked if I'd put it on the site. I said, "Yes", so you can look forward to seeing that sometime soon hopefully.


A picture of Superman I drew not too long ago.

If you can download songs off Kazaa or something like that, you'd be doing yourself a favor by getting the song "Asylum" by Silverchair.

Possibly the single best line I've ever said or ever will say: "I'm going to die just like Jeff Hardy; flamboyant and falling off a ladder." (said to Edward while I was at the top of a very tall, very uncertain feeling ladder at work)

Go to the Guest Art section of this guy's site to see a picture I drew for him, please. I think it's an okay drawing. I mean I'm no Melissa or anything, but it's decent.

For those of you who don't watch, or have never seen an episode of Dragon Ball Z, here's an amazingly accurate representation of said program.


Which British Band Are You?

You Are Edward From "Edward Scissorhands." You are very shy and often misunderstood. Innocent, sweet, and artistic, you like to pass your days by daydreaming and expressing yourself through the arts. You are a truly unique individual. Unfortunately, you are quite lonely, and few people truly understand you.

Take The Johnny Depp Quiz!


So what do you kids think, does this describe me? I'm sure some of you know me as well as I do, and I don't know if I should be frightened by how well I think it's pegged me. I'm going to go over here and be lonely now.

For those of you who've heard about the shopping cart shenanigans we taped the other night, those videos will be up soon, so keep checking back.

"You're all invited to the party, You know you didn't have to come, No rotten apple's gonna spoil my fun, If you don't like, what you see here, get the funk out..." - Extreme, "Get the Funk Out"

I'll say it once again for those of you that missed it, Happy Thanksgiving to you one and all.

For those of you (like myself) that side with Nintendo in the Console Wars, here's some news I was pleased to hear.

So I saw an episode of this Muppet Babies ripoff cartoon called Baby Looney Tunes this morning. It may have been one of the worst cartoons I've ever seen, and it honestly makes me feel bad for the kids that are stuck with watching it instead of Muppet Babies. It worries me.

It seems like I had some other stuff I wanted to talk about, but I can't recall what any of it was, so I'll just say Happy Thanksgiving.


Which Diesel Sweeties Character Are You?

November 2002 has officially become Hip Today's biggest month ever! And it's not even over yet! At some point yesterday, the record set way back in June or July of 2001 was finally broken. If there's anything I can do to continue this upward movement in readership and visits please, please let me know, and if it's at all possible I'll make it happen. Much thanks to you all.


Which Travis Member Are You?
I was absolutely delighted by the results of this quiz.

This made me laugh a great deal. It's straight from Gabe over at Penny Arcade and even though some of you may have no idea what he's talking about, I think it's still pretty funny.
"Apparently a bunch of hacker types took a break from giggling with each other about the irony of installing Linux on their M$ Xbox and noticed they can't connect to Live. David Beck actually wrote an article sympathizing with these poor souls who took it upon themselves to totally f*ck over the insides of their Xboxes. David reports that "Numerous owners of modified Xbox units reported in forums at the Xbox Hacker site that they were locked out of Xbox Live." I'm sorry, tell me again why I am supposed to care that a bunch of thieves and jackholes can't use their modified systems to f*ck up my online games with cheats and hacks? The article goes on to quote one of these winners as saying "All I know is I have two machines--one modded, and the other not. The one that's modded can't connect at all, and the unmodded one works perfectly." DUN DUN DUN! Holy sh*t this is like an episode of f*cking Murder She Wrote. Someone call Matlock so he can solve this mind bending puzzle! News flash Hacker Bob, Microsoft announced months ago that modded systems would not work with Live. Here's an idea for all you poor saps with $200.00 coffee tables now. How about in the future you don't crack open every piece of electronics you get and fill it with illegal hardware. At the very least how about you don't bitch to me when your soldering iron escapades leave you high and dry."

Target now has an exclusive RED Game Boy Advance. If anyone is curious I'm open to receiving this for Christmas.

Watch the trailer for Bulletproof Monk, won't you?

So I'm watching Speed Racer, and one of the bad guys on the show says something along the lines of "We had no idea this Speed Racer was going to be so good!" ... and they're talking about him being good at racing. AT RACING! HIS NAME IS SPEED RACER!! That's like not expecting a guy named Fatty McEatsalot to be good at winning a pie eating contest.

Here's a Weezer survey you can take and possibly win some cash.

There will be new pictures up soon. In the meantime, be sure to scroll down and see if you've missed anything cool.
