Sixth

Hello all. No beginning rants, just right down to business.



Quote of the Day:



Narrator: Losing all hope was freedom.

-Fight Club



News:

FBI Spoiling For A Fight

The FBI sent a letter to Wikipedia demanding that they take the FBI's seal down in an article about the FBI, saying that Wikipedia is breaking the law. WTF? Does the FBI want more people to hate them?

Luggage Stickers

This is great. Sketchy stickers for your luggage!

Republicans Strike Again

Just another bad day for little guy... while the big guys are shitting all over us, lining their pockets...

High School

Clip for a new movie called High School that premiered at Sundance and looks hilarious.

That's it for today.

Hello everyone.
Straight down to business today.

Quote of the Day:
The noir hero is a knight in blood caked armor. He's dirty and he does his best to deny the fact that he's a hero the whole time.
-Frank Miller

News:

Chris Hemsworth As Thor
OMG. I am such a geek. I can't wait for Thor to come out!

Premium Rush
New movie starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Looks good. He plays a bike messenger who's chased through New York by a dirty cop.

Teaser Trailer for Faster
New action movie with The Rock. Lots of nice cars and chases. And The Rock being a BAMF.

Just some entertainment stuff today.

Fourth



There's a new tv show I'm watching, called Covert Affairs. Someone brought up that they are naming their episodes after Led Zeppelin songs. That's cool. And probably not a coincidence.


This is my favorite character.



His name is Auggie and he's the bomb. Not to mention adorable.


Concerning another tv show I watch, called Haven, this guy, who's sort of a rebel, lives on a cargo ship. His name is Duke.



Quote of the Day

Sam: I need a drink.

Gene: That's the first sensible thing you've said all day.

-Life On Mars

News:

No news today.

Have a good one.

Third

I would like to start out the day with a little rant.
How we treat each other in this world is very, very important. I don't want to sound all zen or anything, cause I'm not. I'm full of anger and depression and discontent. I don't want to sound like a hypocrite. Everything is connected. Everything. I just want people to treat other people with compassion and love. I know this is probably not gonna happen, but just think about it. Don't judge. Treat people the way you yourself would like to be treated. I just wish some people would pull their heads out of their collective asses and look at the bigger picture. Just for a minute. A second. Then maybe they would see what I see. Maybe they would change their minds... mhm... no one said i couldn't fantasize...

Quote of the Day:

Darien: Aw crap.
-The Invisible Man
BTW. I absolutely love this tv show. I just got hooked on it. It's like a drug. I need my Darien Fawkes fix, man. You can find the show on Hulu.

News

Ship Found Below Ground Zero
Cool story.

The Right To Die
This is a little story about a controversial assisted-suicide billboard in New Jersey. Of course, the Christians have a problem with it. They have problems with everything outside of their narrow minds.

Just Another Man To Keep Us Down
John Pilger on Barack Obama. Don't freak out. These are facts.

Essay on JD Salinger
Brilliant and thoughprovoking essay on JD Salinger. It will blow your mind. Also, read the footnotes. True, fact filled history is fucked up to the max.

Survey About The Gays
The government is dumb. They are giving the armed forces a survey about how they would feel about gay people serving with them. Who the fuck would care? Not any soldier I know.

That's it for today.

Second.

I love quotes. I collect them and read them and treasure them. I'm not very good at expressing myself verbally so quotes are always fun to say. To get started you're gonna get a quote and then the news after that.



Quote of the Day:



If a guitar's what you got, a guitar's what you fight with.

-Steve Earle



News:


Steven Seagal Speaks Out

This is a little weird. It's a clip from a movie, but if you look closely it's much more than a clip from a movie. Steven Seagal did the movie in 1994, but the things he's saying in the clip ring true to this day. Watch the clip, it's only five minutes long, you'll see what I mean.\

Monkey Terrorists

It looks like the Taliban have a lot of time on their hands. Lolz from terrorists?

DARPA Makes Fake Blood

The title explains itself. We are living in a time of science fiction. This could turn out to be a good thing, especially for our soldiers, but I'm skeptical of whatever DARPA is involved in.

Drunk History of Nikola Tesla

This is hilarious. I love Nikola Tesla much more than Edison. Tesla was the original mad scientist and he was awesome. He had a death ray! This is a great little history of Tesla from Funny Or Die.

GodBlock: Keep Your Children Safe

This a download for your computer that keeps your children from seeing or reading anything religious online. This is awesome. I've been waiting for someone to do this. I don't want my kid to think that if he does something wrong he's gonna go to hell. We can raise our children correctly without having religious indoctrinations and "values" in our lives.

Perfect Citizen

Motherfuckers. I hate this shit. This is an article about the NSA's new project called Perfect Citizen. It's to notify the NSA when it looks like somebody's gonna make a cyber attack on the critical infrastructure of America. They say that they are only gonna look at a couple of the big computer networks. They're not. This thing, this new security measure is only to take more control. It's to watch us more closely. It's just another invasion of our privacy cloaked with a promise of keeping us safer by looking inward instead of outward. And "Perfect Citizen"? Can this shit sound anymore Orwellian? I mean what the fuck?

P.S. I don't mean to swear a lot but our government makes me angry.

Pictures of What's Happening To The Gulf

This is so horrendous and sad. Because of the media you probably won't see these pictures on tv. This is what corporate controlled government does to Mother Earth. We need to stop them.

Digital Drugs

This is actually pretty cool. All it is sound. That's it. I tried it and I like it. It just makes you relax. I mean I can't speak for other people but this is very cool. I think the parents of those kids need to try this and understand what their kids are doing. In the article, one kid talks about hallucinating and I think they're lying. I mean you need more stimulation and chemicals than sound to hallucinate. People who have seizure disorders shouldn't listen because they might have one but I really am not seeing a downside. It causes euphoria, oh noes! Happy people are coming!

Bill O'Reilly Is An Asshole

But I bet you already knew that. This is a very short clip of him a few years back trying to wrap up a taping of Inside Edition. Very funny.

Plague In California

Los Alamos Campground has been shut down because squirrels there tested positive for the plague. The campground has been shut down for ten days so specialists can eradicate the plague. Yay camping!

Extremist Christians Creating Armed Militias

I'm all for arming yourself against the threat of the government, living off the grid, etc., but armed Christians wanting to reconstruct America where God is the highest power scares the shit outta me.

How To Live Without Air Conditioning

This a really cool (hahaha) article about how to survive without air conditioning. The person who wrote the article also wrote a book about the subject. I find it easy to live without ac, fans do the work just as well and it makes it lighter on the electric bill.

Violate The Patriot Act The Easy Way

This article discusses the Patriot Act and its uselessness. Oh fun! The Patriot Act's vagueness makes everyone a criminal.

Trailer for Centurion

This is the official trailer for Centurion, a movie about Roman soldiers in Scotland(?) trying to get back. Looks good and full of action.

That's about it for today. I know it was a very long post.

First.

Hello, everyone. This is my first post in a really long time. I had a blog a few months ago but life got in the way. Hopefully on this blog I will keep up a better schedule.
This blog is going to be news and entertainment stories I find on the web and my opinions about them. The world is pretty screwed up and most people hide from it. I want people to know what's going on in the world. I want to share truths. Because right now that's what's important. We are lied to by the government and the corporate controlled media. I'm here to bring some news from independent sources who aren't influenced by money and big business, I'm gonna get some real news. I'm also gonna put entertainment media in here as well, but hopefully you'll like that too.
So, let's get down to business.
