karl's definitions

religion

religion is the enemy of God. that may have sounded a bit weird, but I define religion as the traditions and rituals (which are often times unessecary) that surround a particular beleif. I personally consider Catholosism to be a religion because they do many activities that are not outlined in the Bible. Religion is a distraction from God.

athiest: are you religious?
guy in question: well, that depends on what you mean by religion. If i say, 'yes' then i become subject to much belittling. If i say no, it would seem as if i do not beleive in god. I'm in a rut!

flip

within skateboarding, there are two definitions. one is the act of flipping your entire body (along with the skateboard) around in mid air; either upside down (frontflip/backflip) and/or sideways (barrel rolls, toe side and heel side). these types of flips are normally done on a half-pipe, or at least a ramp big enough to do them, because you need a fair amount of height in order to do them without landing upside down.

the much more common definition is the act of fliping only the skateboard and not your body. this can be done with the hands, but is normally done by snapping an ollie and sliding your feet off the board in a way that keeps it under you and also flips it over.

there are many kinds of flip tricks, and these aren't even all of them:
heelflip
kickflip
varial kickflip
360 flip
shove it
hardflip
inward heelflip
etc, etc.

hardflip

a trick in skateboarding. theoretically its a kickflip and a frontside shove-it simultaneously, but they always end up flipping vertically rather than horizontal because your front foot gets in the way of the FS shove-it.

du check that 9 stair hardflip!

TB-303

one of the most wanted sounds in electronic music, rivaling the tr-808, tr-909 and several moog synths. It was supposed to sound like a real bass guitar, which it totally sucked at. so roland, the manufacturer, stopped making them pretty quickly, so they're kinda rare. after that, house Djs in the 80's started messing around with them (Dj peirre?) and found that you could make some pretty wild sounds with them. 303s eventually came to form their own style of music Acid, where the 303 is in basically every song, or at least another synth trying to sound like a 303.

the 303 is actually a very simple synth, considering it only has one oscillator, only two waveform options (saw, square) and a (wicked) lowpass filter. so basically the filter is the best thing about it. it also has a built in sequencer, which allows you to program your bassline into it, then hit play and tweak the filter while it plays, making a freaking awesome sound! people also put effects on it, like phasor, distortion, and delay.

teknohead

one who listens to any subgenre of techno or electronica music. can sometimes be a derogatory term, thus, it carries stereotypes.

the following is a conversation that actually happened to me.
guy: dude, what the hell are you listening to?
me: well, that depends on what you want me to say. If i say, "electronic music" then you won't care. but if i use the word "techno" then you'll call me an idiot. so whichever one you want to hear is fine by me because i don't care what anyone else thinks.
guy: you listen to techno!? you're such an idiot!

mute

skateboard terminology - a grab trick where your front hand goes around your front knee and grabs on the toe-rail of the board, in between your feet. pretty cool. invented by a guy whos name escapes me, but i do know that he was infact, mute.

the 900 by tony hawk is a mute bs 900.
