It's been a couple of weeks now, and it's given me time to really think. Upon first hearing the news, I was thinking of how I can write this long prose on my thoughts, feelings, & memories on the subject. I'm glad I didn't go with that. Instead I'll just write what comes first to mind.
I was about fifteen years old when I first came across Carlin's material and I remember what the bit was. It was "A Place For My Stuff" that first got me interested. The whole thing was written with such insight that I couldn't help but laugh out loud at how honest it was. I later sought more & more material, even bought the book, "BrainDroppings" just so I can have a better taste of his humor. I watched just about every HBO special he had over the years, & purchased all the other books. And I never stopped laughing....I still don't stop.
From him I learned to examine and question: authority, society, religion, language & most importantly, myself. I learned that when you start to ask questions about your surroundings, you begin to find answers about yourself..then you just laugh. The wit, honesty, & hopelessness he let out was truth to the ears. I haven't come across many people who can fully see the world & ourselves with such clarity and then have the honesty to tell us what is truth.
It was good to hear that behind the comedian/philosopher was a man who was kind to those he met & knew. It's always a disappointment to hear that the famous people you like are asses. So he's dead & that's it. No weeks on end memorial on any gossip channel or show, just a mention and on to the craziness of the world. But that's ok, no grandstanding was needed. No mournful goodbyes or saying how long we miss him as we put on a sad show. Just death. Now like others, I wonder where he's at now. Then I remember, he's stuck on top of someones garage now out in Wisconsin.
So to anyone who hasn't had the pleasure of reading, seeing, or hearing him do yourself a favor...let all of your beliefs & tenets go...then take a listen. And for those who have heard, read, or seen the man at work...revisit an old pal, he'll tell ya how it's going. |

| Things about commercials I don't like |
[Jun. 4th, 2008|10:54 am] |
1) Truck commercials with country songs, talking about how tough, rugged, & dependable the trucks are
What truck isn't dependable? What truck isn't tough looking, they're f**ing trucks! They're gonna Look tough & manly, its the style
2) Sexist commericals with one or more women & a guy or two. He's either wound up too tight, a total f***kup, forgetfull, or completly clueless. It doesn't matter what goes on in the commerical, the guy's gonna be completly stupid & the woman or women come in to save the day. Whatever happened to equality? Why is it that the guy can't get a clue?
3) No interacial couples. Sure you see some black couples & some white couples and at times the hang together (even though the white couples still look a little scarred of the black couples). But, what about the white guy maybe having a black girlfriend/wife or Black guy having a white girlfriend (this is kinda common). What about Hispanics or Asians, I pretty sure Indians like to date out of their race as well(I'm not even sure they do commericals either).
4) Why is it when someone is eating a product on TV, they have to close their eyes? I don't do that so I can better enjoy my food, & neither does anyone else that I know...unless the thing we're eating is really good. And while I'm on this subject, why aren't there any realistic eating commericals where we have a couple of people to a whole family are sitting down watching TV like zombies & mindlessly smaking their food? |

Ok this has to do with the funeral & casket that Jack went to see.
The name of the funeral parlor is Hoffs/Drawler
Numerically it's spelled out 8 15 6 6 19 /// 4 18 1 23 12 5 18
Something look familair?
Lets take out some of the numbers.
8 15 4 23
And lets do a little math:
12+5-1=16
18+12+6+6=42
I know what you're thinking, hey where does that leave the 19 & 18. F-you! That's where it leaves them, I just did all this math. They're stupid numbers anyway.
4* 8* 15* 16* 23* 42*
"We don’t have enough evidence to suggest the exact person, however, I believe the person in the casket was Ben! I think that Jack is so affected by the funeral because he knew that Ben was his only hope in getting back to the island. Also, notice that when Jack mentions the dead person to Kate, she quickly snaps back saying “why do I care?” She would definitely be defensive about “caring” for Ben. Plus, since the DHARMA logo was on the casket, who better to host a funeral of an ex-employee than DHARMA themselves." - From: http://www.timelooptheory.com/
Wait, 8+9-1-1=15...HA! |

| Southland Tales |
[Apr. 10th, 2008|10:39 pm] |
Let me present to you a movie of such magnitude, it will leave you confused & scarred...you may even
cry because your mind can not comprehend the mess that is SouthLand Tales.
I'll give you a little rundown of what this "tale" consists of & it's players
First things first, the movie's narration is done by Justin Timberlake..yes, that Justin Timberlake.
It also stars The Rock as an amnesiac, time traveling, schitzophrenic, action star turned savior.
But wait, there's more!!! Stifler's in the movie, and get this he has an identical twin & I think
he's also supposed to be The Messiah.
What's that you say? YOu wish there were pornstars in this movie? Well, you in luck..kinda. Buffy
is also in this thing, as a former pornstar turned talk show host who is bent on making herself
a household name..and she's kinda The Rock's girlfriend
Too much you say...NO! It's never too much "star power" in Southland Tales!!! There's also The Rock's
movie wife, Mandy Moore..who is also the daughter of a very powerful politician & his head of the NSA
wife. Oh, the politician's assistant is John Larroquette.
Inconcievable you say? Funny you should mention that because Vizzini's in this thing too as a quicky
scientist who solves the U.S. oil dependence by creating something called Liquid Karma..which is
basically like an EMP shockwave that makes electric vehicles go.
Stop, please, please stop you say? NO! With this movie you also get The Higlander..no not that Adian
Paul dude, but the real deal...no not Sean Connery, the other guy. He's an arms dealer who drives an
ice cream truck.
And in case that was just too much in this large cast you also have some SNL Alums: Amy Poheler, Cheri
Oteri, John Lovitz, Janeane Garofalo, & Nora Dunn. Just to top things off we also have some appearances by Bai Ling &
Kevin Smith(who looks like a very obese & old Billy Gibbons), & Will Sasso (from MADtv).
So that's the cast & a snipit of the plot. The point of the movie is that it's a political satire,
that's also has a sci-fi aspect to it..and it's set in an alternate future of 2008, oh the movie
came out in 2007. I'll let wikipedia tell you what the plot is:
"...El Paso and Abilene, Texas have fallen victim to twin nuclear attacks on July 4, 2005 – a catastrophe of unimaginable proportions which has sent America into World War III. The PATRIOT Act has extended authority to a new agency known as US-IDent, which keeps constant tabs on citizens – even to the extent of censoring the internet and using fingerprints in order to access computers and bank accounts. In order to be able to respond to a newfound fuel shortage in the wake of global warfare, the German company Treer designs a generator of inexhaustible energy which is propelled by ocean currents, called "Fluid Karma." Unbeknownst to them, the generators alter the currents and cause the Earth to slow its rotation, ripping holes in the fabric of space and time.
In Los Angeles, a city on the brink of chaos overshadowed by the growth of the underground Neo-Marxist movement, we follow the criss-crossed destinies of Boxer Santaros (Dwayne Johnson), an action film actor stricken with amnesia; Krysta Now (Sarah Michelle Gellar), ex-porn star in the midst of reconverting; and twin brothers Roland and Ronald Taverner (both played by Seann William Scott), whose destinies – on one evening – become intertwined with that of all mankind.
The film is a dystopian story that often references religious and literary works; Pilot Abilene (Justin Timberlake) quotes Biblical scripture from Revelation in the course of narrating the film and allusion is made both to Robert Frost's The Road Not Taken and an altered version of T.S. Eliot's The Hollow Men..."
So who's responsible for this crapfest??? Prepared to be shocked...it's Richard kelly..yeah the same
guy who did Donnie Darko. I knew you'd be surprised..unless you saw the movie Domino, then it makes
sense.
After I saw the movie, the only thing I could think of was..Well at least I didn't buy this movie or
pay $5 to rent it. |

Fewer people asking jobless help WASHINGTON - The number of laid off workers filing claims for unemployment benefits fell for a fourth straight week, an encouraging sign that the job market is holding up in the midst of a host of otherwise bad economic news. In some totally unrealated news....The suicide & murder rates in newly laid off workers has risen for the fifth straight week. |

Well Liverpool John Moores University has elected it's new chancellor this week. To kind of give a feeling of how prestigous this is, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair's wife Cheire Booth was the previous chancellor.
"I am absolutely delighted to welcome Brian May as my successor. Brian certainly had a dream and nothing deterred him from achieving his PhD," Booth said. "I am sure that he will be a real champion for LJMU and a tremendous role model and inspiration for all of our students."
The esteemed Mr. May was given the honor in recognition of his contribution to the arts and science. He recently completed his doctorate on astrophysics.
Now some may know Mr. May from his recently completed thesis, entitled Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud(which he completed some 36 years after beginning the research.) Also some may recognize his co-authorship on two scientific research papers: MgI Emission in the Night-Sky Spectrum (1972) and An Investigation of the Motion of Zodiacal Dust Particles (Part I) (1973), which were based on Brian’s observations in Tenerife. (wiki)
Most recently, he was the co-author of “Bang! – The Complete History of the Universe” with Patrick Moore and Chris Lintott, which was published in October, 2006. (wiki)
But, if you're like me (and most of the world) you will remember Mr. May from his other written work from the late 70's & 80's. Yes this man of such academic standing also wrote: "We Will Rock You, "Fat Bottomed Girls", "Tie Your Mother Down", " Who wants to Live Forever", and "I Want It All".
I guess this goes to show, there is life after rock. |
