OSAMA BIN LOTTO

OSAMA BIN LOTTO

Kinda funny, kinda sad, you decide what's true- do the research!

This doesn't have anything to do with coffee!

What a pic...!

NtheDrgWar at Liberty For All - Online Magazine

NtheDrgWar at Liberty For All - Online Magazine: "Supreme Court Asked to Overturn Ban on Medical Marijuana Prosecutions "

You know- WHAT THE FUCK?! What's wrong with the people that make the rules around here? Oh wait, I know- everyone's brain is filled with thick syrupy CRUDE OIL!

Or at least that's the way it would appear to someone that had an outside perspective and was just presented with the facts, rather than a hoard of misinformation. Back in the day Marijuana was made illegal for a couple of reasons:

1. Dupont started making oil based products, like plastic. Apparently, hemp oil can give crude a run for it's money if technology is developed- but who wants competition? Especially when you have some friends with influence in the government...

2. People that made rules back then didn't like Blacks and Mexicans, who in the public's mind were users of this horrible drug. So let's make a law that puts the people we don't like in jail. Makes sense right?

Damn I could go on about this topic forever, but before going into anymore detail, I'd like to document some sources of information, so I don't sound like I just puffed down a Marley sized corker.

I'll come back and rant on this at a later date...

The RIOT Wheel - Single-Wheeled Vehicle: "Wanna Ride The Riot Wheel?"

Thursday is here again...

As you can see, I decided to start using that nifty blogging tool, and I figure I can share the things that I find interesting along the way in my daily web surfing. I have installed a new tool on my pc called a news aggregator. It accepts RSS feeds and lets you browse news without actually visiting the full blown site- pretty cool. Lots of interesting stuff out there! Back to work...

Howard Stern.com

Howard Stern.com is AWESOME. You know, I got sick if listening to his show, but damn does he have a voice! Looks like our prez couldn't take someone with a big mouth telling the truth, so he let the FCC loose on him.

What's So Great About Kissing?

What's So Great About Kissing?: "When you give sugar, you actually burn sugar. Sex sparks a good calorie burn, Stamford says, especially 'if you're passionately involved, thrashing around. If things were really hot and heavy, you might be looking at a caloric expenditure similar to a brisk walk.' "

PHI: The Divine Ratio

So I came across this cool site and got sucked in. Here are some interesting snippets:

The Icosahedron is the next step up
in geometric size and complexity, with five triangles arranged around each vertex. This beautiful figure has 20 3-sided faces arranged around 12 vertexes. In our four-square, right angle culture, this shape is unknown to most people and too complex to contemplate.

The pine cone geometry is the same as the pineal gland, master endocrine of human physiology, that sits at the tiptop of our spinal column. The pineal is our magnetic sensor which reads the Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) pulsations of the geomagnetic field. The pineal transforms ecocycles into biocycles—it translates celestial time into body rhythms. Double PHI spiral geometry gives us access to Nature's magnetic infolded information stream.

Smoking or non?

So my dream last night was interesting- I was smoking a cigarette and was so happy about it. I looked in the pack and saw that there were about 7 or 8 missing and the next thing I though was- what the fuck?!?!? I knew that I had screwed up by smoking, but I didn't think I had smoked a bunch! So far as I knew, looking down at the half burned cigarette in my hand was the first time I knew about this odd occurrence. You see, I used to smoke, I quit about 8 months ago now. Wow, seems like a long time when I actually write it out. The strangest thing though was realizing what was going on in the dream, at first it was great, because I got to smoke! Then my happiness turned to anger and disgust as I thought about how long it would take me to get back to eight months straight with no butts! It's been hard, but I just deny myself when I get the urge. I try to think about either stuff, and the urge usually passes. But it still feels like I just quit yesterday, and I still want a cigarette just as bad.

Non please....

Windows tweaks

So I downloaded this cool tweak that adds a few buttons to the standard windows buttons like minimize, maximize and close. The extra one are stay on top, window transparency, roll up window mac style, and minimize to tray. The transparency thing is pretty slick becauase I can have the TV tuner on in the back ground of my 50% transparent browser window.

HBO is a great place to watch TV on Sunday nights- after The Simpsons on Fox of course. I've been hooked on The Sopranos for a while now. It's really just another soap opera, but at least there aren't any commercials! Speaking of commercials, these chicken commercials for Wendy's and Burger King are cracking me up, expecially this whole "I'm spicy" thing. I have yet to see the nipple shield version of that commercial again, I wonder if they thought it was too edgy and stopped running it.

I used to rent a house in South County , and I moved out before the lease was up. The other guys are moving out soon, and I should be getting my security deposit back- that would be pretty cool! Random thoughts....

Subservient Chicken

Wow this is really weird. Apparantly someone did some market research and decided that an interactive web cam spoof would be a good way to promote Burger King's new chicken sandwiches.

See for yourself!
