There are two ways to make complex things. One is to design them; the other is to evolve them. Of the two methods, only evolution brings us things that are literally beyond our imaginations.

Glen Beck?

This guy seriously pisses me off sometimes, however, tonight he got himself a nice quote. "Designer ice? We are now paying for, not 'need ice for party' ice, but an age where we have ice advertised as 'Taken from the polar ice caps' hello? Don't they see the ice caps melting like I do?" To me it was very front right, but this guy gets my respect and I think he is a dick about the same amount. More to come.

Wether you are Republican or Democrat, facing our fears is a necassary evil and the only effect of complete withdrawl from the global community is the picture above in your mind constantly. We DO need to be active participants, BUT we do not need to convoke, prevoke, or envoke our will upon or against anyone else. It is time for change, and I will wait for someone to follow. God I sound like a hippy. :-(

War, what is it good for?

War doesn't determine who is right, only who is left.

Haha!

I took this picture with an Ericsson phone, it was a 3.0 mega pixel if I recall correctly. Much picture stock I have of this trip. Maybe it is time I bring it out.

Sort of puts you in your place doesn't it?

Apparently there is some artist out there who I share names with, he makes glass reflective artistic scene things. Weird shit.

I thought this was very ironic.

Poetry

You've at times in recent past,
blasted me for less than that.
Which now you say has highest point,
All I want is a silent joint.

There have been moments,
Right you were.
Most of the time,
Your ignorance occurred.

In times of doubt I've had this clue,
about those things I've done to you.
Then it hits me how dumb I've been,
To have lived my life with you in sin.

What's truly great about this life,
is that I need not have this strife.
Ignoring you will be easy when,
you see in the mirror how wrong you've been.

Swamp Ball Stew

It is so freaking hot right now, it's like 91 degrees with a relative humidity of 80% which makes the heat index SUCK ASS. I am in front of a fan pumping H2O down my gullet while I cool myself with the continual flow of sweat coming out of every part of my body. I need some IVs so I don't have to work so hard cause it's making me....sweat.

so, at this college there was an extra credit question "Is hell endothermic or exothermic"
this is what one kid wrote:
First, we postulate that if souls exist, then they must have some mass.
If they do, then a mole of souls can also have a mass. So, at what rate are souls moving into hell and at what rate are souls leaving? I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.
As for souls entering hell, lets look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to hell. Since, there are more than one of these religions and people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all people and all souls go to hell.
With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in hell to increase exponentially.
Now, we look at the rate of change in volume in hell. Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in hell to stay the same, the ratio of the mass of souls and volume needs to stay constant.
So, if hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter hell, then the temperature and pressure in hell will increase until all hell breaks loose (i.e.,Hell is exothermic).
Of course, if hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in hell, than the temperature and pressure will drop until hell freezes over (i.e.,Hell is endothermic).
So which is it? If we accept the postulate given by Ms.Therese Banyan during my freshman year, "That it will be a cold night in hell before I go out with you," and take into account the fact that I still have not succeeded in having a relationship with her, the second case cannot be true. Therefore, hell is exothermic.
the kid was the only one who got credit

This is what we need to be fighting for.

Thought this was a cool picture, and I would like to give credit but like a lot of things on found on the net now it had no credit given to it. Most of the people who know me know my level of patriotism for our nation is very high. Right now I am sick and tired of our leadership continually taking us down a path we all know does not, is not, and will never fucking work for us. We are Americans, we define right from wrong with our actions normally, and right now the whole world thinks we are doing irrepairable harm to our image and more importantly to a whole country who's suffering we discount in order to further our broken agenda. Wake the fuck up George, stop acting like a chimp and grab your balls and admit your ideas suck and are getting lots of people killed. We need to do something, speak up, tell your friends how you feel, call your congress people and complain. It is our voice that changes the world.

My boss bought a new power washer, this thing is so strong it almost knocked me off of my ladder 20 times today. It will strip dirt faster than a vegas hooker on Friday.

My new basil plant I bought for $3.99. Fresh tomatoes and mozerella and a few of these leaves over top with a little balsamic vinegrette, mmm yummy.

For the great men and women who fought for our freedoms in 1776, and those who fight to keep us safe today, we thank you for your hard work, bravery, and steadfast refusal to lower the American ideal in the face of danger. Please bring our fighting men and women home soon.

Us and Them

Good discussion of things like the disparity between the ultra rich and the ultra poor over at B2.0 tonight. Thought it was a good discussion myself, feel free to join in. Added an MP3 above for the occasion.

Listen to the MP3 above of Country Joe stopping the war in Vietnam. Seems like you could replace the word Vietnam with Iraq huh?

Yeah, come on all of you, big strong men,
Uncle Sam needs your help again.
He's got himself in a terrible jam
Way down yonder in Vietnam
So put down your books and pick up a gun,
We're gonna have a whole lotta fun.

And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Well, come on Wall Street, don't move slow,
Why man, this is war au-go-go.
There's plenty good money to be made
By supplying the Army with the tools of the trade,
Just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb,
They drop it on the Viet Cong.

And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Huh!

Well, come on generals, let's move fast;
Your big chance has come at last.
Gotta go out and get those reds —
The only good commie is the one who's dead
And you know that peace can only be won
When we've blown 'em all to kingdom come.

And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam.
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Well, come on mothers throughout the land,
Pack your boys off to Vietnam.
Come on fathers, don't hesitate,
Send 'em off before it's too late.
Be the first one on your block
To have your boy come home in a box.

And it's one, two, three
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam.
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.
