Such a naughty skunk.


















yes!

Happy Halloween!

No End In Sight

"500 ways to do it wrong and 2 or 3 ways to do it right...what we didn't understand is that we'd have to go through all 500"

Bye bye, jobbie–job....hello brain flex.












Today is my last day of work...and it's almost over!

For those of you who don't already know, I'm blowin outta this city and moving to Omaha in August to start my BFA in painting at UNO. Exciting!

Really I'm replacing one routine with another, only the new routine will be much more rewarding creatively and will most likely make me crazier. Which I'm cool with.

As much as I sometimes hated working for an ad firm I am gonna miss some those jokers.

Peace out Snitily Carr!

Extraordinary Rendition

The CIA transportation of suspected terrorists to so called "dark prisons" for interrogation through torture not allowed legally on US soil. The website shows CIA planes that are tracked by citizens from around the world and displayed in an interactive simulation based on a time line starting in 2001 going to the present day.

I guess this proves we're not all as ignorant as or government rulers have hoped?

Evo-devo



















According to this article there's a good chance that evolution is not strictly do to mutations in genes over hundreds of thousands of years. In fact it seems to suggest that changes can happen much quicker than previously thought. Very cool.

Bat For Lashes

Video!

Freestyle bikers with stuffed animal heads are all the world needs. The Donnie Darko Age is here.

Gore Vidal

I love the way this man thinks. The "Creator" would surely be proud of what he created. Oh humans....

What is it that makes us work obliviously? Makes us mow lawns, deliver pizza, or sit in offices while the gingerbread house, made partially from human rights and partially from nature itself, is being nibbled away by small minded glutinous, big corporation Hansel and Gretels? What is it that makes people, socially educated and progressively inspired, drop their guard like an elephant hunted by lions eventually conceding to the relentless attacks of the lazy and comfortable? The beast that is human nature?

Maybe, but I do think we need to be less "comfortable".

Museum of Christian History!

This has already been posted on Elisabeth's blog and most likely hundreds more....but I just can't help myself. There are so many things wrong with this place.

Did you ever see the movie Idiocracy? Not a great movie but I feel like it was some sort of ridiculous premonition for this. The "museum" feels like it's one step closer to the setting of that movie. Anyway, it's Museum of Natural History meets fairytale wonderland, only with Christian guilt and rhetoric layered in. Scaaary.

Although I must say it would be quite a treat to see the Noah's Ark exhibit where supposedly the boat is reconstructed at actual size. Remember: that's big enough to accommodate for the approximate 1.8 million different species of animals we have been able to record on the planet, two of each, including all the dinosaurs and minus the fish of course. And big enough for all the food and clean water it would take to sustain those animals for 5-6 months (some say longer). Not to mention all the plants and other living organisms that would have been destroyed. That's gotta be one big fucking boat.

Hey Noah, how did you keep the animals from eating each other? And hey, Noah why did you not warn all the other people on the planet? Yeah, that sounds to me like kind of a dick move Noah.

So many questions to be raised, not enough hours in the day for blogging! Anyway, that's all I have.

Enjoy.

Canada has cyborg quarters?















No silly, they're regular quarters designed to scare the pants off a few stupid Amercans.....duh.

Here's the link.

Rally Feathers.















I love you Patrick.

And don't forget, when the cocks are crowin'...the runs are flowin'.

"Self Invasion"











When reason escapes you....there's always the Satan card.

Vagina Power









Stay prayed up!

Best comment in the comments:

"That's the biggest belt buckle I have ever seen!"

Come On America.....











Let's get naked!

Just finished an article that brings up many good points regarding the prudishness of our nation. Ultimately the censorship here in America is based on what someone has been taught to be offended by (In fact, I'm quite offended by this post that I'm writing. I should stop.....I think I might be sick). And in other nations with lower teen pregnancy rates and lower sexual violence rates the censor is not present. Hmmmm.

What the article addresses is that nakedness does not always mean sexiness or sexy-time, although sadly we've been conditioned to think that here in the US. Anyway, good article, read it here.

Clean Part!


















Last one of the season.....should be a goody.

Some stellar work from a little creative group known as Encyclopedia Pictura. The themes are great (very dream-like) and the detailed production gives a feeling of authenticity....That is that it seems like they did it for creation sake and for the sake of just producing obscure thoughts. Or maybe it's the thought that they seem to just take local talent and friends and use them in a way so that people can show off their skills and not just sell something (I don't really know much about them so this may not be the true at all, however I like to think of it this way).

An idea that I've had for quite a while now, which I'm sure a lot of people surrounded by talented folks have had, and that is to combine minds, buckle down and create things. It doesn't have to be great but to just give some of these idle hands (mine included) something to do so as not to forget and waste talent.

Anyway check out their costumes too they're fucking incredible.

Giant Marionettes













One more reason to move to France and become a puppeteer.

How amazing would it be to see this in person. And how amazing would it be if she had razor sharp teeth and the puppeteers were feeding her things......like motorcycles and pedestrians.

More about the Royal de Luxe.

Games!

E helped me find my ultimate addiction and it has the best darn title......Ball Droppings. Yeah!
















Here's another I found through R–Fresh's site.

Old Flier



















I found this invite tonight while looking through my "My Stuff" folder on ze old hard drive...a party that never happened in '06 and also a bar stock that kinda did happen if you consider a few leave behind bottles of SoCo and a bottle of Knob (which acted as a nice night cap one cold February morning...'07). I know I might not be able to rekindle the idea of the "Dude Bar", which all came about when my world traveling ex-roomy and in all respects main dude RW, decided we needed one. However, I thought I'd post it since I like the flier and also to send some love his way.

Miss you bro and I hope you fill your satchel with goodies when you return...thanks for the b-day post.

Oh Jeez!















It's been over a month since I've posted... what an ass I sure am. Sorry to those of you who only log on to the internets to check my blog (all of you). I'm sure you hate snakes with ruby/lazer eyes by now and I feel somewhat responsible for that...

Anyway enough about my slacking.

Stumbled across a new This Modern World that I'd like to share with ya'lls. And the image above is by Porous Walker who is, in my mind, an American hero. You can view more of his cartoons at Owl Tooth (click on the falling Knievel).

The Clean Part!



















I'm excited about this and want all people to go. I've been assured it will be a thorough reading...the assurer didn't actually use thorough to describe the reading. Although, he did say it will be worth seeing and you may be thoroughly disappointed if you missed it.

The snake in this poster has ruby eyes that pulsate laser beams. And he talks like a pterodactyl.

I have a new computer and it's 17" of delicious photo warping...

God Hates Fags!











So if you'd like to stay in his good grace stop listening to Frank Sinatra.

This is the most offensive picture I've posted on this blog. I googled the headline and this is what I found. I think this was taken in Kansas.

OctopusMag/Books has a new website and some stuff for sale. Buy it! I have all 8 chapbooks and they are really cool. Mad props to Denny and Kate for slayin' the designs (to be clear, that's a good slayin', not a bad one).

Also, Mathias has some poems up on H_NGM_N.com and they are stellar. Good job buddy...I absolutely love "She Uses Her Pinky Finger When She Types".

Droppin' Jager Bombs!
















This also is the kind of passion and intelligence I want to see in all politicians. Booyah!

Droppin' Hagel Bombs


















This is the kind of passion and intelligence I want to see in all politicians, no matter what party.

Sense of Self















This is an interesting article. Me thinkin bout me, thinkin bout you thinkin bout me, thinkin bout you and so on....

Oh Marge....



















takin' on Global Warmings again.

Thanks PW for this comforting quote.

While I was on his blog to get the link I clicked around a little and rediscovered h o l d s t i l l which is good for a chuckle.

The White House Censor's...













(Big suprise) an Op-ed by Flint Leverett which covered issues envolving the Bush administrations unwillingness to cooperate with Iranian officials to negotiate a "grand bargain" more...

But the NYT has published a blacked out version of the censored article.

Flint has something to say about all of it on c-span.
