If you haven't already, you should check out The Texas Chainsaw Massacre in 30 seconds with bunnies, because, if you don't, then you might see the whole movie and take it much too seriously.

It's possible : )

Ryan's on the road

I should inform any potential readers of my blog (are there any?) that my friend, Ryan, has embarked on a journey, to gain some experience and gather up content for his documentary project, Aimless. He has recently updated his blog to let us know that he is on his way home now. I'm excited to get together with him and look at his material and hear his stories. He's not the greatest oral storyteller, because he kind of rambles, like I do, only in a more funny and humorous way, but he can write like an mf'er, and he has some great stories inside of him. I'm looking forward to it!

"Creepers" - James Michael Tyler, "Book Look", An Interview With David Morell

Have you ever seen the movie, <i>C.H.U.D.</i> It was an almost B-grade
horror movie that came out in the 80's. There were these cannibals
that developed/evolved due to genetic mutation caused by contaminated
sewage waste. These mutants lived in the sewers underneath the city --
New York, I think.

Or, have you read the Stephen King novel, <i>It</i>? In that novel
there was a murderous, supernatural creature that appeared as a
kid-killing clown.

These terrifying images often haunted my mind during my high school
years, but that only enhanced the thrill I felt from exploring old
places that had been abandoned and were off-limits for
exploration-bound kids.

Recently, I was introduced to an interesting underground culture,
called "urban exploration", by an enthusiast of the movement.

The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_exploration">urban
exploration</a> culture is made up of people who explore abandoned
buildings, like prisons, missile silos, bunkers, asylums, sanitoriums,
hospitals, schools, hotels, grain elevators, and factories. They are
often history buffs and architecture and urban archaeology
enthusiasts, who record their infiltrations with digital cameras or
videocameras. They share their stories and images on web forums,
lists, and websites, like <a href="http://uer.ca">Urban Explorer
Resources</a>, and they film documentaries, like <a
href="http://www.urbanexplorersfilm.com/"><i>Urban Explorers</i></a>.
You can view the <a
href="http://www.urbanexplorersfilm.com/trailers.htm">trailer</a> to
get a good glimpse of the mindset of some urban explorers.

The novel, "<a href="http://creepers.feoamante.net/Creepers/Past.html">Creepers</a>",
by David Morell, is a horror/thriller novel about urban explorers who
explore the fictitious <a
href="http://www.theparagonhotel.com/">Paragon Hotel</a> and
experience some terrifying adventures while doing so.

Below, is a video clip I found on <a
href="http://www.youtube.com/v/uBGhe0Ptirc">YouTube</a> that
introduces the story. Enjoy,

Yes, my friends... Bread is the real enemy here.

bread is dangerous.

 

    !!! BREAD IS DANGEROUS !!!

Research on bread indicates that:

1. More than 98 percent of convicted felons are bread users.
2. Fully HALF of all children who grow up in bread-consuming households score below average on standardized tests.
3. In the 18th century, when virtually all bread was baked in the home, the average life expectancy was less than 50 years; infant mortality rates were unacceptably high; many women died in childbirth; and diseases such as typhoid, yellow fever, and influenza ravaged whole nations.

4. More than 90 percent of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread.
5. Bread is made from a substance called "dough." It has been proven that as little as one pound of dough can be used to suffocate a mouse. The average American eats more bread than that in one month!

6. Primitive tribal societies that have no bread exhibit a low incidence of cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, and osteoporosis.
7. Bread has been proven to be addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water to eat begged for bread after as little as two days.
8. Bread is often a "gateway" food item, leading the user to "harder" items such as butter, jelly, peanut butter, and even cold cuts.
9. Bread has been proven to absorb water. Since the human body is more than 90 percent water, it follows that eating bread could lead to your body being taken over by this absorptive food product, turning you into a soggy, gooey bread-pudding person.

10. Newborn babies can choke on bread.
11. Bread is baked at temperatures as high as 400 degrees Fahrenheit! That kind of heat can kill an adult in less than one minute.
12. Most American bread eaters are utterly unable to distinguish between significant scientific fact and meaningless statistical babbling.

---

In light of these frightening statistics, it has been proposed that the following bread restrictions be made:

1. No sale of bread to minors.
2. A nationwide "Just Say No To Toast" campaign, complete celebrity TV spots and bumper stickers.
3. A 300 percent federal tax on all bread to pay for all the societal ills we might associate with bread.
4. No animal or human images, nor any primary colors (which may appeal to children) may be used to promote bread usage.
5. The establishment of "Bread-free" zones around schools.

This article was written by B.S. Wheatberry in a desert after consuming mass quantities of yeast bread then realizing his canteen was empty. (seriously :P )

Why Can't I Own a Canadian?

Why Can't I Own a Canadian?

Why Can't I Own a Canadian? October 2002 Dr. Laura Schlessinger is a radio personality who dispenses advice to people who call in to her radio show. Recently, she said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22 and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following is an open letter to Dr. Laura penned by a east coast resident, which was posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as informative: Dear Dr. Laura: Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the other specific laws and how to follow them: When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them? I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her? I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15:19- 24. The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense. Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians? I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself? A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here? Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die? I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves? My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? - Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14) I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging. Your devoted fan, Jim

The Yes Men - Anti-Corporate Activists, Pranksters

The Yes Men

1 hr 22 min 1 sec - Aug 28, 2006
Average rating:   (16 ratings)
Description: The Yes Men, a movie, follows a couple of anti-corporate activist-pranksters as they impersonate World Trade Organization spokesmen on TV and at business conferences around the world. The story follows Andy and Mike from their beginnings with GWBush.com, and on to their tasteless parody of the WTO's website. Some visitors don’t notice the site is a fake, and send speaking invitations meant for the real WTO. Mike and Andy play along with the ruse and soon find themselves attending important functions as WTO representatives. Delighted to speak for the organization they oppose, Andy and Mike don thrift-store suits and set out to shock their unwitting audiences with darkly comic satires on global free trade. Weirdly, the experts don’t notice the joke and seem to agree with every terrible idea the two can come up with. Exhausted by their failed attempts to shock, Mike and Andy take a whole new approach for one final lecture.

The Life and Deaths of Jack Palance and Bruno Kirby

I didn't realize this, but while reading an obituary for href="http://www.iht.com/articles/2006/11/12/news/obits.php">Jack
Palance, who died over the weekend, I learned the href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruno_Kirby">Bruno Kirby had
died also, back in August.

I'm a fan of Bruno Kirby. He played very memorable roles in many of my favorite movies, including "The Freshman", "Lost In Yonkers",
"Sleepers", "Donnie Brasco", "The Basketball Diaries", "Good Morning,
Vietnam", "The Godfather: Part II", and "When Harry Met Sally". I
recommend that you see all of these movies, if you haven't seen them
already, and I recommend seeing any of them that you like, a second
time, to remember Bruno. I think I'm going to watch about half of them
this weekend, as I own VHS copies of half of the movies on that list.

Enjoy the legacy that is Bruno Kirby. He deserves no less respect
than, say, John Turturo or Steve Buscemi, as an excellent supporting
actor. What does he do? He supports the believability of the story
line, the setting, and the characters. He exemplifies and furthers the
themes of the storyline. He did his job well, and he did it with a
style that I will always remember and respect.

The National Do Not Call List

For anyone concerned with Telemarketers calling your cell phone and costing YOU money, by using your minutes, then FYI !!!

11 days from today, all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sales calls.

You will, of course, be charged for all of these calls, because they will use the minutes that your payments provide to you.

To prevent this from happening, call the following number from your cell phone:

888-382-1222

This number will direct you to the National DO NOT CALL list. It will only take a minute of your time, and it will allow you to block your number for five (5) years.

Remember: You must call from the cell phone number you want to have blocked. You cannot call from a different phone number.

Tool - Schism Video

I'm not sure why it wouldn't be redundant to re-post someone else's video post on my site, but I really love this band, and this is a good video of theirs

It's Tool's "Schism" video. Enjoy.

An Earthship Blog!!!

From Earthship_Bio...

I received an Earthship email update from Jessica, an Earthship representative, and there was a link in the email to Kirst's Earthship Adventures, a blog about Earthships.

For those of you who don't know what an Earthship is, it is a sustainably built, earth-friendly, off-the-grid dwelling that can be built relatively quickly by the right people. They aren't all that cheap, but they are built to provide for a self-reliant, sustainable lifestyle. Entire communities of Earthships have already been constructed, and more are being built all the time.

Aigool, the kids, and I visited Earthship Biotecture Community, right outside of Taos, New Mexico, just past the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge. I had wanted to visit there for years, but I was unable to do so. However, during my last trip there, I found a brochure for the place, and I saw that they offered self-guided tours and a very interesting and educational experience.

If you are interested in self-reliance, energy conservation, water conservation, earth-friendly living, sustainable construction, environmental advocacy, or architecture, then do a Google search on the word "earthship". If you'd rather just go straight to the official website of the organization, then go to Earthship.Org or Earthship.Com.

If you want to see images of Earthships, then do a Google Images search on the word "earthship". There are almost 1700 hits for that search. I also posted some of my own photos of the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge, Taos Earthship Biotecture Community, and the road down to Orilla Verde park and the Taos Junction Bridge.

There is also a site called GreenHomeBuilding.Com that has an earthship page. On that page they describe the construction process in terms of "natural building techniques".

Earthship Biotecture USA has its own site, and there are many personal blogs and websites dedicated to particular earthships, and they are usually run by the people who live in them. Examples of these are Allen's and Pat's, Dennis Weaver's, and EarthPower1.

Dive in! I think that you will be amazed at the concept of the Earthship, and you will be interested in the widespread, global community of Earthship dwellers, advocates, and enthusiasts (like me) that has developed around this great idea of ideas.

Aigool has said that I should buy one and move out to New Mexico, and I might do that someday, if the timing is right. It sure would be great to afford a second home that could be a vacation place, and it would be great to learn more about self-reliance and sustainable living, by living in an Earthship.

Amazing music

One of my all-time favorite guitar heroes...

This is Michael Hedges performing "Because It's There" on his harp guitar. I love this song, and this is the first time I've been able to watch him perform it.

A Blog About Kazakhstan And A Woman Named Aigul

While searching for an image of Ireland in Google images, I started to browse my search history and found this blog, called "News from the Caravan: Aigul Ipakchi: A Kazakh-American Hero". I haven't read it yet, but I was hoping to save it. So, I blogged it!
