I just found out that the fucking Misfits are coming to Chicago on the 22nd of this month at the House of Blues! :D The tickets are only $18!!!! Holy batshit Batman! I've seen them live a couple of times and these guys kick major ass, and their bassist, Jerry Only, even saved my fucking life! I don't mean in some stupid 'waynes world' finding jesus we're not worthy way, but physically saving my life way.
Now I don't know which concert to go to, both offer and guarantee absolution into the kingdom of heaven merely by attending, and both have incredibly cheap prices for tickets, should I... attend both concerts!!?? Yessssssss, maybe THATS how I'll dethrone christ from his highchair. Having discovered I attended BOTH shows and spread the word of holiness and piousness to the masses he'll have no choice but to say "Damn, I'm impressed! I guess you're god now!"
Yay Salvation is MINE!!!!! :D
I love blasphemy. ;P
Bacon, it's what's for communion.

The way I would get the U.S. out of this quagmire that that imbecile, George W. Bush, got us into in Iraq, would require the strategies that both incompetent political parties support: troop surge and then withdraw.
Right now, members of the Iraqi legislature are planning their Summer long vacation... Summer long! If this isn't an indication of why these Iraqi elected officials want us to remain in Iraq, then I don't know what is. These politicians are more corrupt then the Republican 'do nothing' Congress! How can they possibly even consider going home a couple of hours early let alone take a 2 month vacation?! Simple, so long as we're there to 'keep the peace', they don't have to do anything. So long as our men and women in service defend THEIR country on THEIR soil, they don't have to train their military.
Now, unfortunately, we can't just withdraw our troops immedietly like I want us to, too many innocent people will die, be tortured or worse. Thank you Bush, for making a mess that we get to clean up! Typical Republican. We have to increase the number of troops we have on the ground in Iraq to give relief to those that are already there. We need to DOUBLE the current number of servicemen and make damn sure they have the equipment, services, medical care and armor that they need (what a crappy leader our 'commander in chief' is). If we have close to 300,000 troops in Iraq, then we can realistically keep the peace long enough for Iraq to build up their military.
What would be their incentive to aggressively train their troops? Simple, we leave in 2008. That's it. We not only tell the Iraqi government, but we tell the world. We let EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD know that we're leaving and the Iraqi's will have control over their country again. Now our leaving will leave a void and the Iraqi government better damn well fill that void or else someone else will. There's their incentive to get off their asses and stop their ridiculous bickering over which misinterpretation of the Quran is less inaccurate. They will be forced to reconcile their differences or else be annihilated.
That seems pretty cold, but there will always be difference of opinion in a people of a country and unless they unite for a common goal, then they will fall as a sovereign nation. United we stand, divided we fall. The reason the Sunni's and the Shi'ites continue to slaughter each other is because they can afford to. So long as we remain in Iraq and play mother hen, then they can continue to act on their silly religious prejudices. The one thing both religious sects agree on is the end of the U.S. occupation. Fine, you want us gone? Well we want to go, but unless these people unite as a nation then our leaving will decimate the entire region. All because George W. Bush wanted to be a heroic war president.
This is the philosophy of Yin-Yang, the universal philosophy. The only way to acheive balance and harmony is by applying the direct opposite fury against the one causing the problem. The idle rich that work on Capitol Hill only see half of the solution, only their piece of the pie, but only by bringing both halves together will we get the whole solution.

low self-esteem to act as mouthpiece/puppet for Bush war.
Must be willing to provide "guidance" to the President,
in the form of stating to him what he already wants to do
so that he can say he was listening to his War Czar. Must be able to take
responsibility for mistakes and disasters. Must be prepared to be fired
suddenly and without warning.
You must supply your own anal lube though.

Kurt Vonnegut died today at the age of 84. He was a talented author whose wit and humour always lightened my mood when reading his novels, especially 'Slaughterhouse-Five'. I must admit, he was one of the great authors who lit a fire under my ass to challenge the various establishments in this country and dare to think for myself. Even though he's moved on to continue his Great Work, I can't help but be selfish and mourn his passing. He will be sorely missed. Here is a link to the breaking news.

JUNEAU, Alaska - A black wolf snatched a small dog near a Juneau lake and ran into the woods with it, U.S. Forest Service rangers said. A woman was walking three dogs Tuesday at Mendenhall Lake when the wolf grabbed the unleashed Pomeranian then dashed off with the dog in its jaws. The woman unsuccessfully searched for the dog, which has not been seen since.
An animal believed to be the same wolf, however, was seen alone at the lake Wednesday, said Dennis Chester, wildlife biologist at the Juneau Ranger District.
The culprit is believed to be a wolf nicknamed Romeo and known for playing with larger dogs accompanying people on walks.
Some people walking their dogs in the area may have become complacent because the wolf has not been seen lately, officials said.
"The bottom line is, right now it's out there," said Ryan Scott, a wildlife biologist with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. "(The snatching) is a reminder to ourselves that a wolf is a wild animal."

Holy Wars
Brother will kill Brother
spilling blood across the land
killing for religion
something I don't understand
Fools like me, who cross the sea
and come to foreign lands
ask the sheep, for their beliefs
do you kill on god's command?
a country that's divided
surely will not stand
my past erased, no more mistakes
no foolish naiive stand
The end is near
it's crystal clear
part of the master plan
don't look now, for Israel
it might be your homeland
Holy Wars...

Check out this editorial in reference to the bloggers king georgie the tyrant mentioned to illustrate how wonderful life is for the people of Iraq.
"And they will greet us as liberators, yea they will greet us as liberators."
Is it pertaining to our illegal occupation of a sovereign nation?
Don't be daft!! The American Empire will occupy Iraq until Americans eventually accept it as part of the authoritarian rule by our neo-conservative overlords! (duh!)
Will the 8 attorneys fired by Lord Gonzalez get their jobs back?
Why? We already have perfectly good lawyers there, that have pledged their allegience to Bush and his new world order!
'Due process' and a 'fair and speedy trial' are now things of the past!
Will Karl Rove pay for his crimes against the Constitution and the American people?
Now that's just a stupid question! Moving on.
Then why the hell does it matter if Karl Rove or any member of the Bush Administration for that matter, gets subpoened or not?
Because at this point of stage where our democracy and way of life are literally wasting away and rotting into an unholy empire of hatred and bigotry, it's refreshing to see ANY ONE member of the Bush Administration be held accountable for ANYTHING! I don't even care anymore, there are so many atrocities committed against our Constitution by the Bush Administration, Congress may as well just pick one out of a hat!
In fact, Karl Rove may never actually TESTIFY before Congress, because King Georgie the Tyrant has already declared he will fight this subpoena and take it to the Supreme Court, where it will get bounced back and forth by a bunch of flustering beaurocrats thus delaying it indefinetly. At least, though, there's still some fight in the American people and their representatives to hold the Bush Administration accountable for... SOMETHING.

Check out this article posted below:
LONDON (AFP) - Teenagers who lock themselves in their bedrooms to blast out heavy metal music may simply be trying to cope with the pressures of being gifted, according to British research reported Wednesday.
The study said that teenagers often work off the stresses and strains of being a bright outsider by listening to bands such as System Of A Down, Slipknot and Tool.
Researchers questioned more than 1,000 members of the National Academy for Gifted and Talented Youth, whose members rank among the brightest five percent of youngsters in Britain.
"There is a perception of gifted and talented students as being into classical music and spending a lot of time reading.
"I think that is an inaccurate stereotype," Stuart Cadwallader, a University of Warwick psychologist who is presenting the findings to the British Psychological Society Wednesday, told the Daily Telegraph.
"We are looking at a group with lower than average self-esteem that does not feel quite as well adjusted.
"They feel more stressed out and turn to heavy metal as a way of relieving that stress."
Cadwallader added that heavy metal fans often appreciate the "complex and sometimes political themes" of the music.
"It has a tendency to worry adults a bit but I think it's just a cathartic thing," he said.
"It does not indicate problems."
Many of heavy metal's biggest stars are closet geeks -- Brian May, guitarist with Queen, is currently finishing a doctorate in astrophysics, while Iron Maiden star Bruce Dickinson is a history graduate, international fencer and qualified commercial pilot.

America needs an impeachment trial - not so much to punish George Bush's "high crimes and misdemeanors" but to absorb the lesson that we forgot so quickly after the Vietnam War: how easy it is for presidents to sweep us up in fear and jingoist excitement as they march our sons and daughters off to the slaughterhouse of war.
George Bush as a lot to answer for. But so do the rest of us. This is a democracy after all, and citizens bear a collective responsibility for what their government does. The American public was a passive enabler to the Iraq policy it now condemns. A majority voted for George Bush in 2004 and supported him in the polls well into 2005 in the face of clear evidence that Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction and had nothing to do with 9/11. Sure, tens of forty-nine percent voted against him, but few aroused themselves to do more. Absent a draft, the young mostly shrugged, while their elders implicitly accepted Bush's vile proposition to "support the troops" by taking his tax cuts and marching off to the shopping mall.
Yes, the spectacle of finger-pointing, recrimination and the shredding of reputations that would surely accompany impeachment will be traumatic for the country. But such a riveting, unavoidable public drama is precisely what we need in order to etch into our national memory how our democratic institutions failed the people - and how the people failed themselves. We need, together, to relive the painful story of the Congress ducking its constitutional obligations, of generals like Colin Powell licking the boots of draft-dodgers Bush and Cheney, of the "free" press slavishly echoing W's contradictory and transparently false explanation for an unprovoked invasion of a country who was no threat to America.
Lyndon Johnson lied to get us into the Vietnam War and Richard Nixon lied to keep us there. But after the humiliating flight of American helicopters from Saigon, neither Democrats nor Republicans in Congress had much stomach to revisit the scene of a crime where both parties had left their fingerprints. Gerald Ford gave Richard Nixon a blanket pardon, and with a sigh of relief, Washington moved on. A decade later, another president, Ronald Reagan, was caught selling arms to an avowed enemy of the United States in order to raise money for an illegal war in Central America. But Reagan was popular, so once again, the nation looked the other way. And the imperial presidency continued to expand.
Democracy depends not so much on what government officials learn from their mistakes, but on what citizens learn. History shows that we will not learn the costly moral of this Iraq disaster by leaving it to the historians, or to the report of some future blue-ribbon commission -- inevitably more concerned with bipartisan comity than with exposing Americans to some uncomfortable truths about themselves.
George Bush's defense in an impeachment trial would surely include the claim that the people were with him. So they were, cheering him on as he unleashed the dogs of war. And unless we acknowledge that complicity, and pass the lesson on to the next generation, a future president will almost certainly take us down this road again.

Crazy christians like jerry falwel didn't like the original trilogy because of 'The Force' and how it was perceived as a religous element contrary to christianity (ie. it was pagan), but thanks to 'midichlorines' the Force has been reduced to a biological odditty that the christian god can now be credited to bestowing upon his children (puke). And that's the problem with christianity, if a concept cannot be absorbed into the malignant puss bubble of christian dogma, then they perceive it as a threat and must attack it. How can christianity be considered a good thing? Honestly.

PRESIDENT CLINTON WAS GOING TO BE IMPEACHED FOR LESS!!!!!!!
Here are some beautiful PATRIOTIC lyrics from a wonderful band called 'Bad Religion' (apologies to the band):
Atheist Peace:
Maybe it's to late
for intellectual debate
but a residue of confusion remains
Changing with the times
and developentally tortured minds
are the average citizen's sources of pain
"Tell me what we're fighting for"
I don't remember anymore
only temporary reprieve
and the world might cease
if we fail to tame the beast
from the faith that you release comes an atheist peace
political forces rent
bitter cold winds of discontent
and the modern age emerged triumphantly
but now it seems we've stalled
and it's time to de-evolve
and relive the dark chapters of history
"Tell me what we're fighting for"
No progress ever came from war
only a false sense of increase
And the world won't wait
for the TRUTH upon the plate
but we're ready now to feast
on an atheist peace
THE DUTY OF EVERY PATRIOTIC AMERICAN CITIZEN IS TO QUESTION HIS/HER GOVERNMENT!!!!!

It's Derek! Megan (
I work in a company called "Rewards Network" as their UCC clerk, and it's a nice steady job with good pay that pays the bills and feeds the monkey (Monkey!), so our current situation in life is constantly improving. It's improving so much in fact that I proposed to Megan last month! We're getting married on 7-7-07 (kewl huh?)! Now unfortunately, there's not a Shaolin Do kwoon here where I can join and continue my kung fu training, but that's okay because I feel I have enough material that I can practice on my own, and who knows maybe someday I'll open up a kwoon of my own. Right now, I'm teaching myself a straight sword (djinn) weapons form whose written instruction (with step by step diagrams) was given to me by a friend, and I'm riding the high I get from learning new material. Anyway, now that I don't have the convenience of a teacher and classmates to learn with, I must strengthen my resolve and excercise discipline to retain what I've learned and continue to grow stronger through training.
Another neat thing that happened to me is my recent initiation (thank you thank you) and I decided to post my beliefs at the Museum of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Harold Washington Library, because I'm Thelemite and proud and (ohmygod is that Baphomet?!), get over it! :P Okay my brain is about to explode and my eyes are bleeding, so I think that pretty much sums things up about me and what the hell I've been doing for the past couple of years. I like cheese.
