This is the point of the night when your E or whatever other drugs you’ve swallowed/smoked/snorted/hooped kick in and you start to actually feel the music move through your body. This guy is about one shot of JD away from “a really epic night”.
More and more everyday, I am starting to believe all those doomsday prophets who were predicting the demise of old media and how they would lose the battle to the wonders of the internet.
I have no TV. I can watch any tv show or movie on my laptop. Even the most obscure, cancelled, old piece of crap or gold, whatever my little heart desires. Why would I pay for cable that comes with a bunch of channels I don’t watch?
I don’t listen to the radio. Why would I put up with annoying radio hosts, commercials, crappy songs I don’t like, and songs I used to like but don’t anymore due to excessive repetition?
I want something different, I want to be able to listen to the 111 worst songs of all time, and now I can, thanks to the wonderfully diverse selection of radio stations available on AOL Radio. There is even a station called WTF!!
I get kinda annoyed at the fact that there is already Halloween candy for sale at the check out at Shopper’s, but I think I’ve figured out what I’m going to be for Halloween, and I’m pretty excited about it:
Soon there will be a genius joining our ranks by the name of Cottage Cheese. He will blow your minds with stuff like this:Beirut if he ever puts down the ciggies and ciders long enough to bang something out on his computer. Now that Cherry Popsicle is away maybe he’ll regain access to it.
Starting sometime next summer if all goes to plan, subatomic particles will begin shooting around a 17-mile underground ring stretching from the European Center for Nuclear Research, or Cern, near Geneva, into France and back again — luckily without having to submit to customs inspections.
Crashing together in the bowels of Atlas and similar contraptions spaced around the ring, the particles will produce tiny fireballs of primordial energy, recreating conditions that last prevailed when the universe was less than a trillionth of a second old.
The Large Hadron Collider was just activated last night. It’s a big hairy deal basically because it will supposedly allow physicists to figure out how the world as we know it began. Experiments with the device will somehow shed light on the makeup of atoms.
People are freaking the hell out though, because some think that the atomic collisions the LHC creates will more or less turn the world into anti-matter. Others say that doomsday scenarios like that are impossible. Still, people are throwing end of the world parties and killing themselves as a result. Some are taking an indifferent stance since even if it were going to cause the end of the world, there isn’t much anyone can do about it at this point.
I’m definitely interested to know what comes of the experiments. I’m also interested in any excuse to celebrate by drinking large amounts of alcohol.
Someone close to me has informed me that they will be attending one of these Landmark Forum seminars based on it being “highly recommended” by their peers at work since the founder of the company they work for apparently once attended a session and he loved the results he got. Skeptical, I asked this person what it was all about and they couldn’t give me a real honest to goodness straight answer as to what goes on in these things. Basically, everyone raves about it, no one tells you what happens in these 3 day long sessions, and everyone just recommends they try it for themselves.
“It’s amazing.”
“It changed my whole perspective on life.”
“I’ve had so many breakthroughs after taking this course/seminar.”
Blah blah…
Here are a few other things that people recommend you try because of it’s sheer awesomeness and/or life altering experiences in no particular order:
Ecstacy, cocaine, skipping school to go to the beach, marijuana, botox, acid, sex in public, bungee jumping, boob job, finding Jesus… You get the point.
So I did some minor research. This is a basic summary of what this Landmark shit is all about. At the end are some tips to maybe help prevent yourself from buying into whatever it is they are selling.
Here’s another link with a transcript of a EST Seminar. EST is an earlier incarnation of Landmark.
Also below, here is a video that I have stumbled upon as well, that exposes a very different point of view to any potential recruits. Beware, its about an hour long and is French with English subtitles.
Basically, it looks like it’s worse than any system of mind control that any Religious Organization has ever used. Landmark, much like Religion, gets you to toss out all logic, and critical thinking and buy into their form of self improvement, but by using forms of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), the Forer Effect, and good old fashioned sense deprivation. Going to Church on Sunday however is free.
I’ve seen enough online to know that I don’t need to check it out just to see what it’s all about, even if the $500 tab is being picked up by someone else.
Here’s a sweet YouTube video to check out as well.
I’ve been seeing a lot of photoshopped pics of McCain’s sidekick all over the internet, and in tasteless email forwards, featuring her head glued onto naked pornstar bodies and other suggestively dressed sex symbols and it’s starting to make me a bit queasy.
Feminists are in an uproar over this, even ones who totally disagree with her policies. Personally, I think she’s a hosebag, but it kinda makes you wonder doesn’t it?
So all these old right wing farts think she’s hot and send eachother the photoshopped images with ‘her’ tits hanging out and they all chuckle and snort and maybe get a semi and congratulate eachother about it. I wonder if this is some kind of guerilla viral marketing tactic to get more votes from sexist, horny old men? Kinda sucks though, that since she’s kinda a milf, that’s what takes centre stage and everyone kinda forgets what she stands for.
What I wanna know is, doesn’t anyone think Hilary is hot? Adrian?
I am so fucking sick of hearing people bellyaching about the new facebook design. Unless there is some kind of way that the new design is detrimental to my health or something I really don’t give a fucking shit that the infamous timesucker looks slightly different than it used to. Seriously people, get a fucking life and find something worthwhile to focus your activism on. Quit creating petitions and crying like fucking babies.
Let this photo of a Kute Azn’s dilated pupils and vacant smile be your lesson to check if someone’s a sure thing before dumping your last bit of G in their G&T.
