Tattoo Update + Ministry
I realized I never did post final pics of my leg work. Now that I’ve snapped a few pics, I realize why- my iPhone camera is complete shyte. The flash is broken, for one, and two, yellow and fuzzy pics. Also, it’s difficult to take a proper picture of the side of your leg, actually. Either way here’s a couple. Again, it’s a bit fuzzy and I can assure you the lines are...

They don't make 'em like they used to.
Movie trailers nowadays are complete rubbish. Here are a few of my all-time favorites.

War on Words | CBS New York →
NYC Dept. Of Education Wants 50 ‘Forbidden’ Words Banned From Standardized Tests. Need I rant about this? Need I explain to you the dangerous precedent this sets? I would like to think not, but I don’t feel like this story is gaining enough attention. Folks, I know this is a local government issue, and previously I’ve longed for the elimination of the federal government...

Fascist America, in 10 easy steps | The Guardian →
By Naomi Wolf Please read. This is from 2007. Notice that you can replace President Bush with President Obama and you will have the same gut-wrenching feeling. In fact, it’s worse when you realize the downward spiral towards this fascist state we’ve been on even since this was written. I’ve referenced Wolf’s book and writings here and here as well. I highly recommend the...

The Shining: Kubrick's Gold Story
By: Rob Ager If you like The Shining, have enjoyed Stanley Kubrick’s films, appreciate a good knock on shady government history, and/or realize the advantages of the gold standard, then check this out if you haven’t already. It’s broken up into bits but goes pretty fast. Intriguing, to say the least. 1/4

Feds pull the penny | Canoe.ca →
Canadian Feds that is. Good for them. I’ve long said our US penny is a waste of time. In reality and ironically, it’s a complete waste of money as well. Did you know it cost the US Mint ~2.5c to make one cent? Our government literally pissed (here, page 9) away over $116M minting pennies and nickels in 2011. In ‘10 it was only a loss of $42.6M. That’s million, people. If...

A few thoughts on a few things:
What a few days; exciting, to say the least. Here goes. Could it be that Big Food Corp.’s use different ingredients for the very same products sold in the rest of the world vs what’s sold here in the US? Something as simple and seemingly harmless as mac & cheese, folks. Take a look at the differences. Why? Regardless, I don’t buy this shit. Yes, I’m turning 3- in a...

Just RUN.
No route. No watch. No goals. Only, run. Sometimes it’s the perfect remedy. Add some Champions League on the tele, and a cup of tea. Perhaps I should do something productive today. Perhaps there’s tomorrow.

Question Re: Healthcare Mandate
This is an issue, even with the traffic it is receiving, I don’t think people are realizing the significance here. The question is this simple: If our “representative” congress can MANDATE that I enter into a financial contract with a private entity (in this case a health insurance company) for no other reasons than being a United States citizen and being alive, what then can...

A Fact About Federal Government for All to...
There is but one proven fact, made abundantly clear through my years of federal/military service. Every single American should consider this fact whenever posed with any question regarding any political and/or government topic. That fact: It does not matter how big or how small, it does not matter to what extent, it does not matter in what capacity, if the federal government gets involved,...

The worst part of that Geraldo Rivera quote:
paxamericana:
“There is some things that are almost inevitable. I’m not suggesting that Trayvon Martin had any kind of weapon or anything, but he wore an outfit that allowed someone to respond in this irrational, overzealous way and if he had been dressed more appropriately, I think unless it’s raining out, or you’re at a track meet, leave the hoodie home.”
That’s right, he allowed Zimmerman to...

An American Werewolf in London
What a great movie! About the only time I watch TV anymore is for about 30 minutes as I hit the sack. Shawshank Redemption has been on a loop and I’ve already watched it twice. Otherwise, it’s rugby recordings or a Premier League match. Last night, however, I caught this on… it was on SyFy, which anything on cable is generally disappointing. But another example of a movie I...

Monsanto and friends in your kid's science class ... →
Yet another sickening display of propaganda, now an egregious brainwashing campaign geared towards your children. This is a great article. They break down the publisher of this garbage, naturally, you know who cuts their checks, as well as the lies this so-called activity book claims. This fight will never end.

Badass Salad!
It’s been a few since I talked food. I pulled this out of my arse the other day and figured it was worth passing along. Actually, I just wanted to eat it again, because it’s that good. Remember when I said I was cooking things in the skillet that probably had no bidness being near or inside a skillet… yeah, that’s still happening. Simple yet unconventional ingredient list:...

A few thoughts on a few things:
Wednesday, March 21, 2012 Seattle PD officer found not guilty of putting his boot into a prone, handcuffed man’s head. I’m not familiar with the case but the article mentions video evidence. Hmmm. So how is that a not guilty verdict? Still searching for the article mentioning the man’s head found guilty of striking the police officer’s foot. On a more serious note, a...

Thoughts on Rep. Paul Ryan's Budget Proposal:
It’s shit. All I needed to see to make this quick determination- no defense budget cuts. That’s the first and last thing I looked for. The 60-page proposal, in PDF format is here. Any proposal that does not include legitimate defense budget cuts not decreases in spending. Ah well…

The most important post you will read today.
In today’s America, we face a problem, which I can say without hesitation, is far more serious than any current issue publicized by any media. And we’re currently witnessing some pretty dire times. I’m talking about the food crisis. Crisis? Actually more like a pandemic at this point. The video below is not brand new. It’s a TED talk featuring Jamie Oliver from 2010....

Executive Order - National Defense Resources... →
And just when you thought the last gratuitous piece of legislation passed was the most egregious offense to the U.S. Constitution, Uncle Sam says, “Not so fast, peasant!” I mean, when is enough going to be enough? How many times am I going to ask when enough is going to be enough? It’s moments such as these that historians will look back to to answer why and how the American...

On this Saint Patrick’s Day, 2012, I, like any proud American with a majority Scottish descent, will wear blue and drink wine tonight! Although, we later found out there is some Irish mixed in there more recently than we had thought. I suppose everyone can say that to a certain extent. Hell, I’ve probably got some African somewhere down the line for all I know… Actually that is a...

Monsanto plans massive biotech experiment in the... →
AWWWEEEE YEEEEAAAAAHHHHH, here we go, bitches! Cliff notes version: “More likely, however, is that a success will mean revitalization in terms of Monsanto’s profits and not much more.” I’ll go ahead and add… and the US government “signing off” on this experiment. Shit, they’ve been conducting these experiments on Americans for going on 20 years now. Why is...

Sen. Mitch McConnell: Marijuana Leads To Death →
Wow, where do I start here? I’m going to first point out an underlying problem, which has become abundantly clear as of late and is probably the culprit of most of this country’s problems. Here we have Mitch McConnell, a 70-year-old curmudgeon still calling shots in our lameduck congress. He’s been in that seat since 1985! If an example such as this doesn’t warrant the need...

I'm calling YOU out!
If you believe Obama is a muslim or if you believe his birth certificate has been forged to cover up his foreign birth, you are a complete idiot. In fact, you probably do not have the mental capacity to cast a proper vote and should therefore be disenfranchised. I can take a lot of shit from a lot of people, arguments drawn from complete nonsense is not included. I suppose I shouldn’t be...

My Archenemy
A wonderful thing about the informality of a blog is that I can (and I do) use superlatives for anything and everything. Worst day ever… best song on the planet… best team… worst food… etc. There is one thing, however, has consistently found itself on the receiving end of my vitriolic hatred for as long as I can recall; yard work. I loathe the very thought of it and when I...

A few thoughts on a few things:
‘The Hobbit’ pub in Southhampton threatened by Hollywood corp. This story actually makes me sick. The greed is just blatantly gratuitous. Who gives a fuck whether some pub in England uses the name? Did you not make enough cash from the first three movies? Are you expecting not to make over a billion dollars for the new flick of the same name? What a joke. Embarrassing and shameful. ...

It’s a wee bit sad to me that every one of my GE/GMO posts I tag with “food” and “nutrition” and they’re never popularized, or whatever the term tumblr uses. To me then, whomever is running those...

…of the non-political variety. Does anyone do this? See a movie on TV, contemplate watching, then think “Eff this noise, I’ve got the DVD” and watch that instead. Incidentally, it’s the only time I watch DVDs anymore. Did so tonight with ‘Last of the Mohicans’. On my faves list. Always note the commentary at the very end, which somehow doesn’t make...

Peru, folks. PERU! Glad for Peru, once again, however, a sad indicator of the state of the United States of America. Here’s a country in South America now, who made this decision presumably in the best interests of their people and the integrity of their agriculture. I assume this is what it’s like when your government represents those values rather than corporate scum like Monsanto....

A few thoughts on a few things:
I’m going to reserve comment on the whole Kona business right now. I will say, however, that it’s interesting to me when these “issues” go viral and everyone looses their shit over them. I would love to see the same enthusiasm over what I consider to be huge domestic emergencies, i.e. the state of our food system, the problems facing our education system, the obesity...

70 % of Ground Beef at Supermarkets Contains ‘Pink... →
I posted this yesterday regarding this ‘pink slime’ being bought up by the government for the National School Lunch Program. I’d be remiss if I didn’t post this link that came about last night. Cliff notes version: buy organic ground beef or grind it yourself. Also, the USDA, FDA, and other so-called “regulatory” agencies are a complete farce.

We're Underestimating the Risk of Human Extinction... →
Interesting read. Cliff notes version: we (humans) are fooked either way you look at it. Probability shows, however, we’re completely fooking ourselves and will probably fook ourselves into oblivion before any “future” problems take us out. Perhaps we should worry about existing issues?
