A good old fashioned modern day hangin, yeehaw!

I'm always a couple of days behind when it comes to world events. This is due to the fact that I don't watch the news. If I did watch the news I'd be about two years behind on world events.

Apparently, they hung this Saddam Hussein fellow yesterday or the day before. I caught video footage of it on You Tube. As I watched I couldn't help but think that what I was seeing was the most widely watched snuff film/video in history. Of course there is no clear definition of what constitutes a snuff film/video, but if you go by most descriptions, the footage I saw definitely fell into the snuff film/video category. This was worst of ways to end a year.

A good portion of humankind has lost respect for many things over the past hundred years. Some have now hit rock bottom. Some have now even lost respect for death. Without respect for death, there is no respect for life.

My biggest hope for 2007 is that hunankind redeems at least some of what it has lost along the way.

P.S. I feel stupid for even having to say this, but there are those who misinterpret even the simplest of statements: What I have written is in sympathy of humankind, not in sympathy of Saddam Hussein.

A New Years Revolution.

It's that time of year, when self centered assholes make empty promises to themselves.

This year I suggest a different approach; Think of bettering the world and people around you instead. At least then there will be no shame in failure. Well, just as long as you make an honest attempt.

Valve Geek, I should have taken your advice earlier.

Thanks.

Fellini on a Sunday Afternoon.

Saturday night was a waste. Sunday I sit on my couch observing that magic and surreality I longed for the night before.

The only way to live your dream life is to live life like a dream. Yes, it’s that simple, but also that difficult.

Those who don’t dream don’t live. They’re just counting off seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years, decades, and centuries. That’s if they even have that long. This is what I think of as I watch Fellini films on a Sunday afternoon.

A New Nikkanic Letter:

It's been almost a year since Domenic A. Nikkanic picked up his pen and wrote a letter to an unsuspecting corporation or celebrity. Well, the wait is over (because there are so many of you waiting.) Today he sent out a letter to the Pepsi Cola Corporation.

Last night I went down to The Silver Dollar Saloon with a few friends. We went down to go check out a friend of a friend’s band that was performing. I wasn't planning on staying long, just watch his set and take off.

While out on the back patio having a smoke with friends and talking about Robert Smigel Cartoons, a tall lanky dude wearing a poorly cut suit eased his way into our conversation. After a bit of chit chatting it turns out that he was from Tennessee and with the headlining band "Ghostfinger." Just from him describing is band (by not really being able to) Me and my friends decided to stay longer and listen to his bands set. Fuck, they came all the way from Tennessee just to play some empty shit hole. It was the least we could do.

Long story short; they were indescribable and flat out amazing. You have to hear them for yourselves to understand.

Pick up their CD (been listening to it all day) or just give them a listen:
