This is my first YouTube upload, and I just decided to perform this song. I like the song a lot, but this video is first take, and I screwed up a few parts. Maybe I'll retape it sometime and re-post that version. For now, I had to get something up! It's about motivation. |

Howard Zinn: You Cant Be Neutral on a Moving Train
Here is a review of a new film by Denis Mueller and Deb Ellis about fascinating anti-war activist, Howard Zinn, who is, unfortunately, no longer with us.

Drop - The Pharcyde
(Bootie Brown)
Let me freak da funk Obsolete is da punk
That talks more junk than Stanford sells
I jet propel at a rate that I complicate
Their mental state as I invade their masquerade
They couldn't fade with a clipper blade
Ten years in a trade is not enough you can't cut it
I let you take a swing and you bunted for an easy out
I leave M.C.'s with doubt of exceeding
My name is Bootie Brown and I'm proceeding leading
They try to follow...
But they're shallow and hallow
I can see right trough them
like an empty 40 bottle of O.E. they have no key or
no clue to the game at all
Now they're washed up, hung out to dry
Standing there looking stupid, wondering why... (why, man)
It was the fame (fame) that they try to get
Now they're walking round taking 'bout represent
And keep it real But I got to appeal
Cause they're existin in a fantasy
...when ...holding the steel.
(Slim Kid)
Rock-a-bye baby listen to my heart beat pumpin
to a fine ravine of all things it's a vain of a shrine
All missions impossible are possible cause I'm
headed for a new sector three-sixty-five days from now
I'll wipe the sweat from my eye and each and every trip
will stick or fall from the sky of my cloud nine
From homies all the way to chicks no matter how fine
Controlling is a swollen way to wreck a proud mind
Here told it in ya hands and watch a man start crying
Tear after tear in the puppet man's hands
Everytime you take a stance you do the puppet man's dance
And the world's at a stand still deep in a mansville
Trapped in the moat with anvil still killing ya self
And doggin ya health you ain't amphibious so grab
a hold of yourself
(Krumbscull #1)
Sh-sh-shit is ill but trough my will
My flow still will spill 'toxic slick'
to shock you sick like electrocute
When I execute acutely over the rhythm
On those that pollute 'extra dosages'
Is what I gotta give 'em I got 'em tremblin
Cuz I been up in my lab assembling
Missiles to bomb the enemy because they envy me
And the making of my mad currency, currently
I think we're in a state of an emergency
Cuz niggas done 'sold their souls'
And now their souls is 'hollow'
And I think they can't follow they can't swallow
The truth because it hurts this is how I put it down
This is my earth my turf the worth of my birth is
A billion and you know what time is it
I'm gonna make a million"
Psychologist and Author, James Hillman, speaking about his book, 'A Terrible Love of War'
I finished the book last night, and I have to say it is one of the best analyses of war I have ever read. Hillman goes deeper into the psychology of why we war than any other analyst I've encountered, and he uses sociocultural anthropology, ethnographic, historical, and sociological methods to break through the skin and stare at the guts. For anyone who is interested in the study of war, conflict, and violence, this book is at the top of my list, and for anti-war activists it is at the top of the top.
217 pages.

My First Rain Barrel
First, I bought the barrel, which was $15. It once held Kikkoman Soy Sauce.
Then, I drilled holes in the lid so that I could cut the lid off. I used a saw to cut the lid off.
Once the lid was off I was able to clean out the inside of the barrel with soap, water, and a scrub brush.
Next, I drilled a hole for the tap. I forced the tap into the hole and sealed it with plumber's caulk, which turned out to be a bad idea. That stuff just erodes away. Use silicon. I made my own rubber gasket out of a piece of rubber.
Then, I tested the seal. The seal was great when I first tried it out, but eventually, the plumber's caulk gave way.
I screwed some longish screws around the inside edge of the barrel to hold the lid up, because it shrank up. The lid had already been outfitted with a PVC pipe adapter, courtesy of the guy who sold me the barrel. But, that would be the next step if you were to cut your own hole and add an adapter. This adapter makes it easy to go directly from a gutter or PVC pipe into the barrel.
The next part was screwing some mesh screen to the bottom of the lid to keep the mosquitoes out. They're bad this year.
After that, I set up a PVC pipe / adapter / gutter system to run from the roof to the barrel. And that was that. It works great!
Two more to go.

Down With The Military-Industrial Complex
"You fasten all the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you sit back and watch
While the death count gets higher"
More than 6,000 Coalition Troops, from over 20 different countries, have been killed in the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. Many more 'insurgents'/'anti-occupation' forces members have been killed, whether they were members of Al Quaeda, Taliban, Iraqi army, or some other armed force, or whether they were just lone operators. Many, many more civilians have been killed in these conflicts.

An old friend's words... still relevant
We interrupt this program with a special bulletin
America is now under martial law
All constitutional rights have been suspended
Stay in your homes!
Do not attempt to contact love ones, insurance agents or attorneys
SHUT UP!
Do not attempt to think or depression may occur
Stay in your homes!
Curfew is at 7 p.m. sharp, after work
Anyone caught outside of gates of their surveillance sectors after curfew WILL BE SHOT
Remain calm, do not panic
Your neighborhood watch officer will be by to collect urine examples in the morning
Anyone caught interfering with the collection of urine examples WILL BE SHOT
Stay in your homes, remain calm
The number one enemy of progress is question
National security is more important than individual will
All sport broadcasts will proceed as normal
No more than two people may gather anywhere without permission
Use only the drugs described by your boss or supervisor
SHUT UP! BE HAPPY!
Obey all orders without question
The conformity is now mandatory
BE HAPPY!
At last everything is done for you

How To Make Your Own Rainwater Harvesting Barrel
Using Google Documents I have created a folder dedicated to rainwater harvesting, and in that folder is a PDF document that contains a great set of "how to" instructions for making your very own rainwater catchment system, using a 55 gallon plastic barrel and some very low-cost pieces of hardware. It shouldn't take much more than a half-hour to build one of these.
