Yo! Missy! Fiona Apple called, she wants her sound back.

Two words: Jet Li
He's quiet and fierce. J'adore Jet Li. Actually I love Kung Fu movies and martial arts films in general. I haven't read any reviews on this one yet, but I'm going to see it regardless.
Guess what?...
A legally male transgendered person is having a baby. He looks like a bloated guy that drinks too much beer. It's not beer, it's a baby! Remember "Junior," starring the Governator? That movie sucked... except for the fact that it freaked my dad out really, really bad.
The Advocate has the full story.

There is a god.
I can forget about RFID chips and the other bullshit because Anthony Bourdain is coming to Pittsburgh for the the Drue Heinz Lecture Series at the Carnegie Music Hall.
It's sold out but if you hear about some crazy bitch from Beaver County breaking in, it was definitely not me, not me at all.
Bloggers are born not made
I'm starting to believe that bloggers are born, not made.
I hate to ruin the glamour and romance of this site that tons of people look at daily to see what I'm into and not into, but blogging is not in my nature. Some people believe that blogging is our future. Well I believe "The Children Are Our Future," just kidding, that was lame.
I sat in on a meeting about "continuous news" at the newspaper where I intern. The other editors on the copy desk asked me to go to the meeting because they didn't want to, and I'm glad they did because it was a total eye opener.
I don't think that ameteur bloggers are our future, and I refuse to believe that the future is right now in the news industry.
Writing for the Web is a good class, and the skills that we have learned taking this course are super important in the Journalism and PR industries. But the legacy portions of our industry are catching up, quickly. In the meeting, we learned about all of the research that went onto the creation of TMZ.com.
And guess what?
That site is run by real journalists, though trashy and somewhat unethical, and they have one of the most heavily hit websites on the net.
I don't think that I need to blog on my own to be successful or to know what's going on. But in the near future my boss may ask me to write on a blog. I look forward to it because at least then I won't have to search through random crap and find something to take up space to get a good grade.
Here's the idea that mass media is catching up on and now one talks about, continuous news. The story never ends, the story is always developing, like our blogs. Does that make any sense? Basically newspapers are going to be developing news sites like the gossip site TMZ because it works! And then up sell ads to their legacy print counter parts. And the most successful news sites are still the traditional heavy hitters like The New York Times and The Los Angeles Times. The Las Vegas Sun was also mentioned as a great news website.
P.S. the art I chose for this is called "Birth" by Frida Kahlo. Guess who owns the original? Madonna! Ha, got you, bitches.
P.P.S. don't google the word "birth" and look for images without a bucket. One word: abortion. Yikes.
Hey Ladies
Two metro, most likely homo, sex-pots for the price of one!
"60 Minutes," hasn't been this hot since the last time Andy Rooney trimmed his nose hairs. I refuse to believe that Anderson Cooper is totally 100% gay, I'm sorry I can't.
The grey fox will come back to us! But if he doesn't, his interview with Prince Charming will suffice for quite awhile. Thank you CBS!

Blame it on ... awesomely bad taste
Demi Moore and Michael Caine reunited! Anybody remember "Blame It On Rio?"
Ah, the early 80s, delightfully tacky.
Okay, Demetria isn't actually in the trailer for "Blame It On Rio," but she plays the best friend of the girl all over the trailer, trust me.

Devil's advocate
"Dark Matter," is new film about campus violence. It looks really interesting but I don't think that it's going into wide release by any means. Yeah Netflix!
This movie follows a brililiant Chinese student who becomes overwhelmed and resorts to violence while attending an American university.
I think it's going to be worthwhile to see the other side of the story. We always see the chaos, the sadness and the candle light vigil's. And we always ask ourselves, "What was the shooter thinking? What were they trying to accomplish?" Here's a movie that will help us to gain some insight to the other side of the coin.
Tiger Balm: Here he comes to save the day
I woke up last Wednesday morning with a stiff back. I thought it would just go away. But like so many other things in my life ... it didn't turn out the way that I though it would.
Nowadays, I have to write things down in order to remember what to do, what to buy and where to go and what time to be there. My feet hurt, my skin gets dry and when I wake up with a back ache it just gets worse and worse day after day until I look like Mr. Burns from the "Simpsons."
The only thing that saved me was Tiger Balm. A wonderful Indonesian remedy that smells like Vick's Vapo Rub on acid mixed with cinnamon and anything else that will burn your nose.
When some philanthropic, perhaps misguided, soul gets manipulated into manipulating your back with the fire balm your both in for an experience.
Your masseuse with be disgusted by your orgasmic relief and you will be overcome with the sweet, burning, tingling sensation brought to you by the islands of southeast Asia.
Growing up I thought that my dad was one of the only people around that could get Tiger Balm, because his close friend was Indonesian and an athlete.
In actuality you can buy it at any health food store, even just GNC and Drugstore.com.
It was seriously like two years ago when I was in GNC and I saw Tiger Balm and thought to myself, "How do they know about this?" Then I figured it out, I'm retarded.

All Hail the Queen's new album
Guess what guys? Yes, yes, yes Madonna is releasing another album! It's going to be called "Hard Candy," and there will be no disco, sigh. The album will hit stores April 29th and the first single called "Four Minutes," should be out by the end of this month. It's her last album with Warner Brothers, but not her last I'm sure.
So some other less awesome bloggers say her first single sucks. But they just don't understand her, you know. A version of the single has been leaked, but I highly doubt that it's the official single. She's too good for that.
I think that Madonna and I should do a version of Rhianna and Ne-yo's "Hate That I Love You." That pretty much sums it up.
Art in Beaver County, can it be?
There is a small glimmer of hope, shining at the end of a long, long dark overcast tunnel. It's the The Annual Exhibition of the Beaver Valley Artists at the Merrick Art Gallery in New Brighton! The exhibition is from March 16-April 10, 2008 and the Opening Reception is on Sunday, March 16th from 1-4PM. I'm totally going if anybody needs a ride.
Two artists that I admire should be there, Paul Camp, all around renaissance man, and Regina Madonna an accomplished watercolorist and muralist. Hopefully they won't be scanning our National Real ID cards at the door (see below). Just kidding, they don't even charge at the door at the Merrick Gallery, that's one of the reasons why I love it.
In addition to featuring Beaver Valley artists, they also offer art classes and have a great collection of wonderful examples of the Hudson River School. Did I mention that it's free admission? See you there, squares.
Our father who art in heaven...
Think this is a joke. Go to the press conference at the University of Pittsburgh on March 13.
Batten down the hatches people. This crap is getting out of control.
I was hanging out with a friend this weekend and we were discussing our general discontent about politics, extremism, fear culture and all of the other tools used to strip us of our freedoms. He asked me if I knew about the RFID chips, I said no, and he directed me to You Tube, of course, to show me just what he was talking about. So I've posted a few videos, some more extreme than others, to give you an idea of what were dealing with here.
The basics are that this is a micro chip that can be implanted into your body, placed in money and in any product you buy at the store. This idea has been sold to us under the guise of safety, you need this or your kids won't be able to play in the front yard shit.
Advocates of the chip say that this is a way to weed out terrorists and destroyers of the American way of life. True, I agree that more specific identification for using mass transportation like airplanes could be a highly effective safety precaution.
But what happens when they turn off your chip? You can't buy food, you can't travel, you can't have a bank account. Wow, life is beautiful. Personally I think I should buy a dairy cow, start building a homestead and bury my gold in the front yard.
Anywho ... scroll down to hear Republican Presidential Nominee Ron Paul discuss his opinion on the National Real ID card. He's onto something. For the record I'm not a republican and I'm not a democrat, I'm a realist who's sees virtually no difference between corporate republicans and corporate democrats. I'm disgusted by the 2% of our population who control 80% of our wealth.
I think that the distribution of wealth on our country is one of the worst things about the US. When your looking for someone to blame, look up, not down. People who live off of the state, and use my hard earned money to buy clothes and candy for their kids, weaken the middle class because that's what suits corporate America.
I don't like white trash, lazy unmotivated thieves or people that don't respect themselves enough to work as hard as others, but I fucking hate rich people. And I don't mean doctors and lawyers who drive luxury vehicles and who pull in six figures, I'm talking about Exxon Mobile. I'm talking about the super elite.
For the record, I'm also not a peace loving hippie that eats wheat germ and no red meat. But I am an angry son of a bitch who hates getting ripped off, and I'd rather help out a single mother who wants an education with my tax dollars than give some fat cat, who put that bull shit scapegoat Bush in office, another damn dollar or liberty of mine. I hope that this wasn't too over the top.
