life
Best show on television bar none. I’ve been watching a lot of shows on Hulu or Netflix for the last 3 months or so (mostly because I have just about watched every damn movie released since 1943. Not having a television over the last 4 years, I’ve missed a lot… still missing a lot I […]
sunset v 100
Sure, you’ve seen one sunset, you’ve seen them all. But this sunset is an HDR sunset! Playing around with my camera today. I really should post up more pictures. I’ve taken a ton and haven’t done much of anything with them. At least uploading them to my flicker account seems reasonable.
seven ways to sunday
It has been variously reported that humans use only 10% of their brains. Depending on who you listen to, that 10% statement started life as a misquote of Albert Einstein OR as a misinterpretation of Pierre Flourens work in the 1800s. Of course, I know this cannot be true. I know this simply because I […]
PWND
Few things make me laugh as much as when some journalist roflpwns a blowhard… We could all learn a thing or two from Roger Ebert. “Bill, I am concerned that you have been losing touch with reality recently. Did you really say you are more powerful than any politician? That reminds me of the famous […]
death becomes her
Someone sent me a message via facebook about Jade Goody. My first thought was, “who the fuck is Jade Goody, and why should I give a rat’s ass?” Then, upon further review and some internet detective work I realized my first reaction should have been, “Who gives a fuck?” The thing about life is, no […]
homo crudelis
I think everyone has lived, at one time or another, under the misguided idea that they are special. That they were different than others and were destined for great things. It is a common fantasy when we are growing up… call it the “Harry Potter” syndrome. For women, it is the princess fantasy or worse, […]
rationale vs sanity
I’ve been thinking a great deal about humanity… the things that make us human as it were. For most people, humanity is was separates us from the animals. Duh! you say… The thing is, humans are not born with the emotional and mental tools necessary for “humanity” or kindness or compassion. We have to learn […]
oblivious
I’m dying. Ok, well… I am sick and feel like death warmed over so to pass the time as I cough my lungs up, I’m watching The Office on netflix. Funny show, but not in the typical haha funny that is popular on television. No, this is more like the kind of funny that makes […]
who watches the watchers
In 1986 DC comics published a 12 issue limited series called Watchmen. Being a huge fan of comics in general, this series completely destroyed everything I thought I knew about the concept of super heroes. The gritty, noir-like tale was a major hit and struck a chord with fans and critics. One thing though… unlike […]
rock on
dear internets, I am sorry to say that I am cheesed off at you Internets. Why is it that no one has ever told me how funny 30 rock is? Even though I am now catching up by watching all the episodes via Netflix instant watch, I now know that I can’t trust you to […]
