well that's pretty upsetting.

I guess the moral of the story is you can't really trust anybody nowadays.

Just this moment

I find myself sitting in a ridiculously comfy, pink bathrobe, after having just taken a shower using a bar of wonderfully lemon/ginger scented soap, and sipping on earl grey style green tea.

I so wish I had a picture of this to share with you.

Astonishing revelations made through webcomics!

About a half an hour ago I began reading a new webcomic. It's very rudimentary in terms of drawings, mostly just stick figures, but with very witty content. It is much like Dinosaur comic, in that regard. While running through the four panel world of F8d I was stunned by a new fact.

To demonstrate to the average individual that drasticallly altering or harming the planet is not a far-fetched feat for humanity he used simple division.

The total land area of the earth is a little under 150 million square kilometers.

The population of humans on the earth is over 6 billion.

150,000,000
/
6,000,000,000
=
.025

So, divided equally there is about .025 square kilometers to every person. That is about the size of three standard soccer pitches.

Now, I'm pretty damn sure I could drastically alter three soccer pitches over the course of my lifetime.

Some things money can't buy and some things it can.

Today, I was given a rare opportunity. I had the pleasure of introducing someone to the band GWAR. Since no one can be "told" what GWAR is, they must be "shown". So I turned to youtube for a proper clip to show the young initiate. In the process of looking up video for the previously un-innoculated person I found a clip entitled "GWAR on Joan". Thinking that this may be a joke, but one with potential, I click on this clip. Lo and Behold, it's for real. Two of the members of GWAR in full gear have an interview on the Joan Rivers show. That ladies and gentlemen, is something truly priceless.

There are times when a movie, a song, a painting or some other piece of art reflects life. Here's one such case from my life. You see, my reality is reflected not only in the content of this work, but also in the media.....You'll see. This is what I feel like every single day.

random weirdness

Have you ever realized something about yourself, only by comparison to someone else? I like it when that happens. I don't know why, I just do. As an added bonus the fun little realization I just had came right after another, albeit less important, one.

First I realized the type of movie viewer I am. I'm picky. That may not sound important, but let me explain. I realized I have trouble picking movies to watch because I have to be in just the right mood for the movie. This little realization was the seed for a much more fun one. I realized that I don't refer to the movies as good or bad. I don't say that any particular style of movie is better than any other, I think of it in terms of whether or not I like certain things about the movie. I claim my opinion, and not just with movies. People, places, events, and anything like that. I think of it in terms of whether or not I like them or not. This kind of thinking only really has meaning when compared to it's counterpart. Let me give you an example of this counterpart style of thought.....That movie is stupid, the person who directed it is terrible, or That place is bad, nothing good comes from that place. In this style of thinking the responsibility for the opinion is shifted from the person to the object. Note how this style of thought doesn't even take into account that other opinions could exist about the object, almost like they are plain and simple facts--ones which everyone should accept. As another little bonus, when I reflected about my past and whether or not I had always had this style of thinking I realized that I have. Even when I think back to times when I've made statements the other way, the 'that thing is terrible' way, my thought is always, 'I think that thing is terrible'.

The fun part about realizing this silly little thing about myself is that it helped me understand why I have difficulties with the people who think the other way. I don't like the fact that they think of thier opinions as facts, and when people disagree with their opinions that means those people are wrong. To be fair I think of those people as closed minded, I think of them as ignorant and apathetic. Note the "I think" rather than "those people are....or.....you are"

I know full well that this little rant will mean absolutly zilch to everyone else, and I had thought about just puting it as a diary. However; whenever I get a notification that one of my blog subscriptions has updated only to find that it is private I think of the regretful seconds I will never get back. It feels much more satisfying to open up the blog and see the words, even if I find I'm not interrested in reading them all. So, for any likeminded people I left it public.

Have you ever watched a college or high school movie? Ya know, one with overly photogenic, mature and corny students surviving against the odds to the most exciting pop music of the time. Well I've been studying very hard to such greats as 'We Want Fun' 'City of Angels' 'The Art of Losing' and others. So, right now my life reminds me of one of those movies. Corny as it sounds, I kinda like it. The motivation, the feeling of struggle, and of righteousness.

I'm not sure where any of that came from but there it is.

On a related note, if I'm going to be learning all of this information about organic chemistry I should be doing something usefull with it. Now we all know that the best use of learning is EVIL, so why am I not out destroying the world yet??? I'll tell you why. What I'm learning has no real relevance, no real use. If it did the world would have many more smoking craters that used to be where my enemies stood.
