Giving Him The Business!

SHOGUN

Identify some fallacy in life. Make fun of it by exploring and unpacking...this is just why I'm sort of automatically thrown to be a certain way. It’s honest and people admire that. They can see themselves in that kind of really brutal honesty. They see a sort of permission to acknowledge a part of themselves that they've been in denial about for most of their lives. Your life is nothing if not a slippery slope.

Things I Rock...

Assassins Creed: So far a clairvoyant experience. Ambitious and beautiful.

The Immortal Iron Fist: A CLASSIC in the making. This is the BEST comic on the shelves currently. Pick up a trade if you can get one, I'm not kidding it is THAT good.

"Daniel", "Gary" & "Sade": New instrumental tracks by Fischer. These will be new Rotten Songs but I am NOT revealing the "REAL" titles or anything. The journey is the reward.

Yo Gabba Gabba: There is nothing quite like doing "The Puppetmaster" with Elektra.

My NEW DAGOBOX: My 2 gig Nano pushed up da' daises BUT the good peeps at Best Buy honored my service agreement and I got one of those 8 gig VIDEO ones. It's fresh to death. Now, if only we could start those PODcasts we always wanted to do. Arcade something or other? That's right, Shanty! I'm talking to you.

Black Shirts: I was a ninja in a previous life. I just love them.

Craigslist: BABA GANOOSH is still relevant. Use your mind like a mirror: accept all, reflect all. Receive, but do not keep.

Jay-Z "American Gangster": Doing what he has done before, What he does best. The more you listen to it, the more powerful it becomes.

Thanksgiving: Exposing the MYTHS enjoy (I'm still down with Pumpkin Pie!) http://hnn.us/articles/406.html

Obama: Kucinich is a close second but I dig this guys honesty...http://www.rawstory.com/news/mochila/Obama_I_tried_drugs_as_a_teen_11202007.html

Let's put that Yoga to use and get at least one win this year!

The Page

The idea that this fantasy life on the page can be so much more exciting and fulfilling than real life can ever be. On the page you can do things that are impossible in the world, because the world is so regulated and structured anymore. On the page you can make those mistakes and have those adventures. I just get a little worried that I'll stop having those “real” world adventures. And I won't even bother with the physical world because the fake world is so much nicer, so much more satisfying.

The Vote

-No on REF 1

Childhood Parts 1 & 2

A childhood is full of great defining stories, these moments in which you make enormous decisions about how the world is and how you will be in reaction to that world for the rest of your life. And you forget that you did that. You just become that reaction, but you can't remember why you became that.

The moment when you make that that decision and become that reaction is freeing. Suddenly you have the choice of either being that thing that you've always chosen to be, or being something totally different that's not a reaction to the fact that no one showed up to one of your birthday parties. You're free from that tragedy of the past. You don't have to be a reaction for the rest of your life.
