Serbia Has The One-Up On World:

February 25th 2008 00:17
It's always nice to see a country still ready and able to take to the streets and set something on fire due to Political Belief.

It seems like in most "Modern" countries this kind of raging idealism has long since died. Where have all of your dreams gone my children? Why have you let them slip into the mellow, abiding, darkness?

Serbia wins my "Countries Still Kicking Ass And Taking Names Award Of The Week" for this week because they show that there is something more to life than simple bureaucratic ideals. There is something burning and blistering underneath and it's going to fester over.

Regardless of if you agree with Serbia or Kosovo, the point is simply that we should commend people with such fiery passion for their beliefs.

When The Bullet Meets The Brain.

February 16th 2008 06:14


As time passes the frequency and brutal efficiency of school shootings and those who commit them will only increase. This cancerous infection that scars lives and bodies is the growing epidemic of the Human Disease.

It would be so simple and easy to blame those who stalk the halls and shadows with an arsenal and a mission. It would be convenient to assume that the problem ends when they go point-blank with their own malicious tools of destruction and take their own lives.

If only the world were so simple....

Yet it never seems to end there. The virus has manifested itself in it's most primal and violent form. Yet with the death of the host it does not end. The seething venom that courses in the tap of every faucet and the static of every television is not stopped. It is not cured. It does not wither or stall.

The toxin gushes forth, it boils and spills over, and more lives are lost and it tumbles onto the fresh soil. It sinks into our institutions and foundations and consumes logic and reason. It hungers without end, until we forget where it started or why our children froth at the mouth with a ravenous thirst. We forget who to blame and why they're guilty.

We ignore the mirror.

We become one with the plague.

I will grieve for the lives lost. I will wish them second life. Yet I will grin at the ignorance of the many. I will delight in their curiosity. I will watch as they prod the corpse and examine it's brain. I will smirk as they rot from the inside out.

I am the spirit of retribution. I am the lover of irony. I am that which knows the killer in each human disease, in each human beast. I am the one who sees the cannibal glutton in your eyes and heart. We are all so guilty.

Oh child. How beautiful, a massacre, you are.

"T" Is For Terrorism And "M" Is For Marketing

February 9th 2008 01:39
In the great A-B-C's of modern media the line between terror and good business is virtually nonexistent. To frighten, terrify and genuinely demoralize your target audience can only solidify their need for your product. The more you prod at the back of their mind, the more uncomfortable they feel without you.

Perhaps I'm not doing justice to the nature of the business. Think of it like a recently healed wound. It used to gush and bleed but now it's healed up some and it's got a nice crusty,flaky scab over it. So you're a company with a product and you get yourself a nice, long, rusty skewer. Then you ever so gracefully cram that skewer into that scab over and over until it oozes blood and puss all over. So now the person who's bleeding needs a bandaid and of course they're going to pay you an extremely inflated price for it. After all, you're the one who caused the wound, you know what's best right?

The real trick to the business though is being tactful about it. You've gotta break their arm today and take them out for a beer the next. You're their best friend and their worst enemy at the same time.

So while every company would love to pitch an ad campaign like this at you:


The chances of you ever coming out of your house to actually buy the insurance are nil. Thus defeating the point of ever running the ad in the first place. However this ad is still pretty close to brilliant. If does exactly what any insurance company wants to do: Scare you to death so you stock up on your coverage.

So when someone blows up your country to scare your whole population into submission, is it really so different than someone barraging your mind with fears and insecurities to get you to fork over money?

Who are you more of afraid of? A culture who doesn't understand you and fears your way of life? Or perhaps someone who understands your culture so well they can herd you like sheep into their wallet of a slaughter-house?

Welcome To The Twilight Zone.

Yucca Mountain- How To Poison Yourself:

February 5th 2008 03:32
Perhaps best known for being fantastic environmental procrastinators, human beings have yet again begun a project to take something harmful and dangerous and ignore it until it comes back and bites them in the face. Yucca Mountain - the nuclear repository, has been a subject of much debate in the business, legal and environmental worlds in the past many years and for good reason! Here's the general concept behind Yucca Mountain:

1. Take a mountain we are fairly certain won't explode or collapse

When You Were Young: Memories Of Oil

February 5th 2008 02:53
In ways that religion could neither understand nor dare compete, the modern world's energy crisis has become a crusade for national superiority and sustainability. It could arguably be said that the war in Iraq was in part influenced by industrial nation's need for oil and power. Regardless of your opinion or theory on that subject the dire need for sustainable energy is painfully obvious and yet perhaps the most tragic part is the impact that the depletion of oil reserves will have on our world.

Self Serving, Self Destruction

February 2nd 2008 03:24
So today I went to the grocery store.
I'm not big on shopping and lately I'm not all that big on food either. However there is something fun about the grocery store. You get to deep-dive into the personal tastes and interests of everyone else around you.

Copyrighted: Because I saw it first!!!

February 2nd 2008 03:03
Copyrighting is a well established concept designed to protect people and their intellectual property from theft. Much like laws that govern the theft of physical and monetary property ideas and creations are no different. Are any of man's creations truly original?

This is an issue that could be viewed by a thousand different people a thousand different ways. However I find it rather safe to say that nothing, in all of our glory, we've created is truly original. Much of human innovation is simply alteration and compilations of concepts naturally found in this world and built upon as we go

A New Low For Hollywood: "How She Move" and why it sucks.

February 1st 2008 06:56
As if it wasn't a tell-tale sign based on it's sudden almost "Out Of The Blue" advertising blitz. The recently released movie "How She Move" is essentially a cliche Step-Dancing movie following in the foot-steps of such films as "Stomp The Yard".

Unprepared And Unaware:

February 1st 2008 06:14
The last thing anyone wants is to be utterly blind-sinded by the things we are least prepared for and least ready to deal with. In fact most people spend large portions of their entire lives trying to avoid these exact instances. Statistically speaking you have a better chance of being struck by lightning than being bit by a shark. Yet some people would sooner run in the rain than swim in the sea. Why is that? Maybe they'd rather die with the smell of burnt flesh and all of their nerves twitching than with teeth sinking into soft skin. How different are the two?

Today I was blind-sided. My death was neither by bright flash or aquatic killer. It was of the far more brutal and unrelenting variety. The kind of death that poisons slowly and lingers for a long while. The type of death that only flows from Human hands
