First day of Second Grade...

 

"Live as if you were to die tomorrow; learn as if you were to live forever."- Mohandas Gandhi

I left the Elementary school this morning with tears trailing off of my face. Time does not wait. Elektra started the second grade today. Her teacher, Ms. Schembari, seemed as enthusiastic as she was last Thursday at "Back To School" night. Elektra was really excited to get into the classroom. She met up with a few of her friends before the line headed in. I'm sure she will have some great stories to tell me this afternoon. I love you Lex!

Weeeeessssstttt...

Fast Life...

The video is kinda standard rap-isht...the lyrics still KILL though.

KOTOR...

 

So, maybe it's the "+20" hangover or the recent "Clone Wars" flop but man...I feel compelled to get this. I don't know why? Maybe K and I shall hit the B&N tonight to PEEP I-T.

And what you think...

The idea of genetically engineering a race of Force-sensitive "beings". Individuals who have no connection to the force but are made to...hmmm?

K.O. kills it again...and again

Oh...and that "Bear DNA" study McCain complained about at the faith forum. HE VOTED FOR IT!

The Clone BORES

I read an EW article this weekend about a frustrated writer (fan’s?) take on the Star Wars franchise. He suggested that it needs to be reinvented if they are (and I’m sure Lucas will) going to continue on with it. He asked what writers/directors would you choose to breathe new air into this mythology, this universe and these characters. This is what I came up with (Director/Writer pairings pt 1)…

Edgar Wright/Simon Pegg
Robert Rodriguez/Frank Miller
David Fincher/Edward Kitsis & Adam Horowitz
Spike Jonze/Brad Bird
Zack Snyder/Joss Whedon
The Wachowski Brothers/JJ Abrahams
The Coen Brothers/Jon & Chris Nolan
Darren Aronofsky/Damon Lindeloff & Carlton Cuse
Guillermo Del Toro/Ronald D. Moore
Peter Jackson/Neal Purvis, Robert Wade & Paul Haggis.

What’s your take? What would you do with it?

DAG!
ps. I did see "The Clone Wars"...review to come.

Anthrax, not the group.

Let's answer some ?'s...

1. Why did the FBI gives its consent in October, 2001 for the remaining samples of the Ames anthrax strain to be destroyed, thereby losing crucial "genetic clues valuable to the criminal inquiry"? [San Francisco Chronicle, 11/9/2001];

2. If -- as was publicly disclosed as early as 2004 -- Bruce Ivins' behavior in 2001 and 2002 in conducting unauthorized tests on anthrax residue was so suspicious, why was he allowed to remain with access to the nation's most dangerous toxins for many years after, and why wasn't he a top suspect much earlier? [USA Today, 10/13/2004];

3. If it's really the case -- as principal Ivins antagonist Jean Duley claims -- that Ivins, as far back as 2000, had "actually attempted to murder several other people, [including] through poisoning" and had threatened to kill his co-workers at his Fort Detrick lab, then why did he continue to maintain clearance to work on biological weapons, and why are his co-workers and friends, with virtual unanimity, insisting that he never displayed any behavior suggestive of being the anthrax attacker? [Washington Post, August 3, 2008];

4. What was John McCain referencing when he went on national television in October, 2001 and claimed "there is some indication, and I don't have the conclusions, but some of this anthrax may -- and I emphasize may -- have come from Iraq"? [Late Show with David Letterman, 10/18/2001];

5. What was Joe Lieberman's basis for stating on national television, three days after McCain's Letterman appearance and in the midst of advocating a U.S. attack on Iraq, that the anthrax was so complex and potent that "there's either a significant amount of money behind this, or this is state-sponsored, or this is stuff that was stolen from the former Soviet program"? [Meet the Press, 10/21/2001];

6. Who were the "four separate and well-placed sources" who told ABC News, falsely, that tests conducted at Fort Detrick had found the presence of bentonite in the anthrax sent to Tom Daschle, causing ABC News to aggressively link the attacks to Iraq for five straight days in October, 2001? [Salon, 4/9/2007];

7. Who was responsible for the numerous leaks even before the ABC News bentonite reports linking the anthrax attacks to Iraq? [The Guardian; 10/14/2001; Wall St. Journal Editorial, 10/15/2001 ("Is Iraq unleashing biological weapons on America?"); CNN, 10/15/2001].

???

I've got a bad feeling about this...

I looked at Rotten Tomatoes today and "The Clone Wars" movie is getting less than rave reviews. I'll still peep it but I got a bad feeling about this. I hope the "Force Unleashed" game will come strong. They are ruining my childhood.

I got some PROPERS at Black Cats today when I picked up my hold. Greg played the "+20 Broadsword" video for patrons in the store. Geek love was in the air.

Peace, DAG!

Dies Inside A Little

Mayhem created within phenomenal life. It is an experience of the way things are. It is a personal journey to enlightenment. At the end, the initiate finds he is not a person and there was no journey. Knowing the mind, without using thought. Living ones life by letting it live itself. Becoming extraordinary by being nothing special. To find the oneness that contains all opposites. It is not a transitory mortal life as a “meat bag“. In fact we are the eternal mind of the universe.

Mo' Olympic Facade ISHT

Girl, you know it's NOT true...

http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5gvdGdbFHvF8M_eJh8CSMEIbZ8tFAD92GSPD00

The girl who sang the song wasn't "cute" enough to put on LIVE TV so they Milli Vanilli-ed it? First the GC Fireworks and now this...Are the Athletes real? or just Go-Bots circa 1987?

They should all be attacked by Vampire Bats...

Olympic Facade?

You see, it's stuff like this that makes me think the Moon Landing was a show.

"Fireworks over the Olympics pyrotechnics erupted when it was learned that part of the elaborate display broadcast to the world in the opening ceremony was faked, done digitally in 3-D computer graphics."

Clipse/Re-Up!

I HAD to pick this up. Some new stuff, some remixed stuff...HELLA FRESH! And I heard that the new Clipse LP "Til The Casket Drop" is being produced by Rick Rubin? WORD? if this is the case, LP of the year? We will see, it drops in November.

Recording went well last night. Gunnar and myself dropped verses on a L to the INUS track. We need a hook for it and some ROObanger. Next Tuesday, we going to do it again. Could it be Numbs will get three group songs done in August? That's what I'm pushing for.

What do you know about "Dark Energy"? Get learned...

Well, DUH!

Utahn's never cease to amaze me...I mean this could have just popped up anywhere but there is something so white trash WVC about this that makes it gold. Thanks to Facts for passing this along.

I hope the good ol' boys of Utah County are ready for the MORON rap (not to be confused with the MORMON rap, see link). Not the best thing to come out of the UC in 1988.

Be Aware...

Mind is the Tao, while the termination of conceptual thought is the way.

I'm working on a chorus for a NUMBS song we are throwing down tomorrow. I'm working on some esoteric vaudeville ISHT. Elektra is celebrating Muppet day today by pupet-ering. YES, she is making her own puppets. Today might be a good one for some old timey creativity...

You have a special magnetism and attractive power now, You may also channel some of these feelings into creative or artistic, work, something that evokes and expresses your deepest self.

The UPS guy should be dropping the Xbox 360 back to me today...Eat some pizza, play some Xbox.
