About Me
Am a frustrated writer becoming increasingly LESS frustrated.
(Which is a good thing.)
(Which is a good thing.)
Kang and Kodos. Those two have an enviably intergalactic perspective.
(I voted for Kang...I think...)
(I voted for Kang...I think...)
Bike-riding, golf, swimming in the ocean, hiking, reading, writing (and spending WAAAAY too much time on this machine known as a "computer.")
Politics, science and technology, story-telling (which is what we humans do).
Just like everybody else: The Pogues, Garbage, Tenacious D, Flight of the Conchords, Green Day, Springsteen, Mendelssohn and, yes, Debussy...

Since the state jailed him when available evidence showed he was not the father, the state is now liable for having incarcerated an innocent man when he was already proven innocent. The state should be compelled to pay for its incompetence, and for depriving a man of a year of his life.
She, of course, should also be prosecuted and made to pay for falsely accusing someone, misrepresenting the facts, defamation, contempt of court, fraud and, of course, damages.

+2 raves LOL! As always, "The Onion" is awesome! Some favorite lines: "The guy I met... LOL! As always, "The Onion" is awesome!
Some favorite lines:
"The guy I met at the birthday party you threw me? I had insanely passionate sex with him for four months and now we don't even talk anymore. God, I would die if something like that happened to us."
"Anyway, you would totally hate me as your girlfriend. I'd be all needy and dramatic and slowly growing to love you. If I was your girlfriend, I would never be able to tell you all about the other asshole guys I date and pretend I don't see how much it crushes you. Let's never lose that. That's what makes us us."
"Don't worry. You're so funny and smart and amazing, any girl but me would be lucky to date you. You'll find someone, I know it. And when you do, I'll be right by your side to suddenly become all flirty and affectionate with you in front of her, until she grows jealous and won't believe it when you say we're just friends. But when she dumps you, that's just what we'll be."
But the whole thing is hilarious — Kimberly Pruitt has a genius wit and should be writing her own movie!

I'll buy it. It's my opinion - i.e., something I have not done enough research on to qualify it as anything else - that Christianity was essentially created by pulling the best available material together from extant cults, cobbling them together into something the Apostles could then use. A Yeshua may have existed. Or not. But he was hardly necessary. (The shakiness of the evidence inclines me to believe he didn't exist, but was talked up enough by the Twelve and their followers that people needing something new to believe in simply accepted the story, which was subsequently treated as "fact.")
The solar myth modeling of this story is so blatant that it's undeniable. It almost doesn't matter whether someone showed up to play the role of Messiah or not. The story itself was assembled and packaged by the authors of the Gospels.
In my opinion. (more) -

Feels a bit like the Kabbalah and a bit like Buddhism. The body is the vehicle of consciousness. When the body fails, the mind fades like a dream, and the self is lost. Physics states that everything is conserved in the universe: matter, energy, and, yes, information. That last one has signifigant implications for sentient entities in the universe. A self may dissolve and never return (though some arguments about the cyclical nature of space-time suggest otherwise), but its knowledge, the information which comprised that self, ripples out into the universe, unheeding, like motes of dust, and will mingle with other dust until eventually new selves are born.
Both comical and tragic. For "we" are gone, even though our scattered pieces remain and can be assembled into new constructs, even new life. Like drops of rain, we vanish into the ocean, then boil off the ocean foam where as vapor we become clouds, and then drops of rain again.
Or snowflakes.
Or whispers on the wind. : )

Well, yeah, actually it's mostly because of the picture.
This question? Very, very nice gesture. Also, very creative and funny! Thank-you.
~P.S.
That profile pic? Not really me. : )
This is me in my younger years, out camping. Unfortunately, I tend to snore, which bothered the others from time to time. As might be expected, not everyone always got along on those trips...

And - on the subject of dust - cosmic dust has probably also brought about at least one mass extinction.
The Sixth Extinction, though? Not a meteor. Not a volcano. Not a supernova. Not even cosmic dust.
It is Man. (more) -

(You thought I was going to write "...and pantsuits" instead of "...and expertise," didn't you? Though it might have made a catchy line, the fact is Hillary, on substance, has got Palin so outclassed that the surface stuff - all that Palin has, really - doesn't even enter in on Hillary's side.)

+3 raves It's about time America woke up - even if it's too late. Abdu-Raḥman bin Muḥammad bin... It's about time America woke up - even if it's too late.
Abdu-Raḥman bin Muḥammad bin Khaldūn Al-Hadrami (aka Ibn Khaldūn, aka Aphōph-Duat, "the Uncreator," "the Eater of Souls," "the Lord of Bakhu") was born in Tunisia to a family of Yemeni Arabs on November 22, 1963. His date of birth was subsequently altered on a back-dated birth certificate to reflect an August 4, 1961, birthdate. And the name on that birth certificate was also changed.
To Barack Hussein Obama.
His family later fled Tunisia (after taking the losing side in an armed rebellion against the regime of Abu Ruqaiba) for a remote and simplified existence in Rudbar Province deep the mountainous outback of Iran. He led an unremarkable life until the age of 12, when he was adopted into the Cult of Alah Amut, given the benefit of "the Eagle's Teachings" and trained to do the bidding of "the Old Man of The Mountain" without question. In the years that followed he developed an impressive Islamo-fascist resume, performing the dark deeds which would earn him his new name: Aphōph-Duat, the Eater of Souls. To this day he bears the tattoo of the stylized serpent-crocodile, symbol of his dedication to chaos and darkness. Much of what happened in those years is yet cloaked in mystery. He would later emerge in Hawaii with a fake past, ready for the next steps in the completion of his new identity: Occidental College, Columbia University, New York Public Interest Research Group, the Developing Communities Project , Harvard Law School, the Law Review, the University of Chicago Law School, the Illinois Senate, Senator from Illinois, keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. All part of the program assigned him as the ultimate Manchurian Candidate.
Now an Islamo-fascist who will destroy us all is about to become President of the United States as the greatest power on Earth enters the worst financial crisis the world has ever seen.
All is going exactly according to plan. And now here's the kicker:
He's not even human. He's a mandroid planted among us by space aliens plotting the downfall of Earth civilization. Paving the way for Conquest and Colonization by the alien replicons from Rigel IV.
But FIRST the Great Islamic Caliphate must be established. And its capitol? Wait for it...
Washington, D.C.! (more)

I love the fox foto, did you take that foto yourself? The coyote is cute too. isnt it sad that SP is allowing the shooting of all the wolves in Alaska for no apparent reason other than for trophy hunting? I find that barbaric...all that needless suffering! I cannot understand how anybody can admire such an empty soul as hers!

What is out to get me, however, are the spiders...They are everywhere spying on me and reporting back to HQ...They are organising and I'm pretty sure I will be attacked soon...but I am armed with my fly spray, spider repellent and my captain in charge of killing the freaks, some call him Dave but I call him Kong lmao (my mums bf)
It feels good that I have a computer again but its still pretty annoying that I cannot get my e-mail on it at all, I recently reconnected with a friend and I cannot access Myspace to talk to him and Facebook takes forever to load...then I come on here and I can only do half the stuff that I should be able to do lol I hate computers
Sorry this is in sections...only way I could send it :(

Ahh, the power of ice cream lol
I wish the power of ice cream would claim me as a victim lol
I like it but I can't eat it due to incredibly painful over sensitive teeth lol
I want a car but need to learn to drive first lol
And I need a job...been looking for 3 years and this year was the worst for me to leave school...with so many redundancies, its impossible to get work...even McDonalds turned me down and I never thought I'd ever see that lol
But, just gotta take it as it goes...plenty of other people in the same situation so its not like I can complain and believe that the world is out to get me...
Leahhz
Oh, and I did not find your political rant offensive lol
I don't take much to do with politics but in my country I would consider myself to be a conservative lol And Anti-Bush...well, I never liked the man, though he was the influence behind my 'Bushisms' poster that I found in a shop lol He may not know it but he was a comic genius lol Bit like our current prime minister...
We have hit a really bad recession and he said 'I blame the previous Chancellor of the Exchequer for the recession'...and that was him lmao
Leahhz
My friend issues were not resolved, we have grown apart and I haven't spoken to her since May...not because we have fallen out, more because I don't think we have anything left to say...thats the way things are sometimes...
And now something that I can now laugh at but was humiliated with at first...I met a guy and went to go on a date with him: and he stood me up at the train station...I led myself into the humiliation however, 3 days before the date he stopped replying to my messages and wouldn't answer his phone and was never on MSN and he deleted his profile from the site we met on the day before our date (although I didn't find this out until about a week later lol)
Leahhz
Well things with me have been up and down...mostly down as usual lol
My guinea pigs died on Friday...one at 7.19 am and the other at 2.26pm the same day...I've had them for 5 years...since they were 6 months old...to lose both of them in the same day was harsh...and not only was it harsh to lose them both on the same day, they both suffered terribly for at least 12 hours before it happened...the later one more, though she wasn't as bad as the other one...they were really sick, it was merciless, I cried more for the fact that they were in pain...I'm not a huge fan of God's but even I found myself begging him to end their suffering...I was, as well as incredibly upset, relieved that their suffering was over...Was the worst thing I have ever had to witness :(
