IT’S HERE! My top ten songs of the year and a wonderful chance for you all to tell me what I excluded. HA. Keep in mind, lists are never objective. They tend to very personal and eventually take on a life of their own. I’ve been sweating over these choices ever since June and now here they are:

Super Secret Surprise #11! Because it’s (quite literally) one louder.

Yes this is a Top Ten list but who can resist the urge to toss in a This is Spinal Tap joke when there is a chance? Not me! Sleigh Bells is my true surprise of the 2009 year. (And unfortunately the only artists on this list who I have yet to see live. Boo.) This unsigned duo have captured my heart in such a way that even I am at a loss to explain the love. In my opinion, music needs more front women like Alexis Krauss. Totally frickin’ bad ass. Therefore, “Infinity Guitars” is my sneak attack addition to this list.

MP3: Sleigh Bells – “Infinity Guitars”

10. Dirty Projectors featuring David Byrne – Knotty Pine

The best of the best off the fine compilation Dark Was the Night. Amber Coffman’s vocals soar in a way that might seem grating to some, but truly capture the spirit of the song. These lyrics are not meant to be smooth. They are about objects being rough and cobbled together. The edge of Coffman’s voice only adds to the visual that the song offers us. Then you have one of my own personal heroes Mr. Byrne in the mix, with his own personal stamp of approval, and it’s almost enough to forget what an insufferable hipster David Longstreth is on occasion.

MP3: Dirty Projectors ft. David Byrne – “Knotty Pine”

9. Cymbals Eat Guitars – And the Hazy Sea…

I think it’s a bit unusual to pick the opening track of an album as your favorite, but this was the moment where I fell in love with the power of Joe D’Agostino’s voice and the group as a whole for their sprawling sound that was often used to carry me out of my cubicle during the middle of the day. The fact that I can remember exactly where I was when I first listened (walking down Madison towards Whole Foods) is a testament to the effect this song had on me and around the 3:36 mark I am blown away every time.

MP3: Cymbals Eat Guitars – “And the Hazy Sea…”

8. Animal Collective – What Would I Want? Sky

AnCo released Fall Be Kind right in time to mess my list ALL UP. As much as I have sweated and slaved over understanding this group, they always seem to fall just short of becoming one of my favorites. My love of Panda Bear keeps them dangling on a finely tuned thread. Then they go and make their most listenable song ever with the first legally cleared Grateful Dead sample just to shove their musical talent in my face. Well done boys. Well done. My attention is now captured. I concede.

MP3: Animal Collective – “What Would I Want? Sky”

7. Fanfarlo – Harold T. Wilkins or How to Wait for a Very Long Time

I owe a debt of gratitude to IGIF for turning me onto Fanfarlo. In the midst of all the more experimental stuff I listen to, Fanfarlo is my foothold on good old fashion instrumentation and song-writing. They are proof that what was once a band is always a band; and that having faith in an ensemble and a beautifully crafted chorus will never steer you wrong.

MP3: Fanfarlo – “Harold T. Wilkins or How to Wait for a Very Long Time”

6. The Antlers – Two

While at times there might have been tracks on Hospice that received more of my attention, there is no denying that “Two” best captures the feel of this heart-breaking album. And the memory of watching the group perform this song while the audience shouted “your daddy was an asshole, yah he fucked you up” is pretty chilling. This is also the song that lends to my theory that Hospice is not necessarily just about watching someone die as much as the cancer of loneliness and unrest that can creep between two people. Therefore, it has to have the top spot.

MP3: The Antlers – “Two”

5. Grizzly Bear – While You Wait For Others

I could go on for ages about nearly any song off Veckatimest but this is the one that really grabs me and tugs on all my heartstrings. Perhaps because you can hear the anger coming through Droste’s voice during the verse, only to give way in the chorus to the sad contention that “we all fall through.” The whole package is so genuine in its bitterness and disappointment. While “Two Weeks” is beautiful without a doubt and I want to sing “Dory” to a lover, “While You Wait for Others” has a driving force I cannot ignore.

MP3: Grizzly Bear – “While You Wait For Others”

4. Phoenix – 1901

This one was a very tough call to make between the two singles. And the whole of Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix is such a brilliantly crafted pop masterpiece. I spent lengthy amounts of time drooling over “Rome” and “Armistice” as well. But if I am to be honest, “1901″ was my go-to. Also memories of standing in the crowd wailing “falling, falling, falling, falling,” along with Thomas Mars are not likely to fade anytime soon.

MP3: Phoenix – “1901″

3. Atlas Sound featuring Panda Bear – Walkabout

Bradford Cox wrote this song to make people happy. And hot damn if he didn’t succeed beyond his wildest dreams. Two of my favorite artists and performers is about enough to make my head explode, but when it also concerns shedding the care and worry of others opinions?! YOU’RE BLOWING MY MIND BOYS. This is what I put on when I need desperately to cheer myself up. And it always works. It’s unfiltered fun and I love it and I want to listen to it everyday and you can’t stop me.

MP3: Atlas Sound ft. Noah Lennox – “Walkabout”

2. St. Vincent – Marrow

Heads-up there will be a future post following shortly about how much the work of Annie Clark means to me. So I’ll keep this short. She’s brilliant and beautiful, but most of all she is unafraid to bare her soul to you, whether you’ll like it or not. The courageous way she tackles music is a constant inspiration, especially in a male-dominated year. (Not to mention a male-dominated industry.) This song demonstrates that even when she is pleading, she is nothing but strong.

MP3: St. Vincent – “Marrow”

1. Bon Iver – Woods

Right. So. Perhaps people will take issue with “Woods” as my pick of the year. To those who do, SUCK IT. This is the track that personally meant the most to me throughout the whole of 2009 and it’s also the song that I listened to the most; occasionally on constant repeat over and over. With the personal story behind For Emma, Forever Ago, many started to question whether or not Justin Vernon was some type of one-hit wonder. Would he be able to move forward with his career? Would he be able to “re-create” this success? Then he released the Blood Bank EP. Keep in mind this was also around the time that there was major unrest occurring about the over-use of things such as Auto-Tune and Vocoder, (he chose the later) and myself in particular was so crazy sick of them I wanted to scream.

But what Bon Iver has done with this track is express the peace, the beauty, the chaos, the calamity, the frustration, and the heart-wrenching sadness of attempting to clear your mind and accept your fate. Beautifully layered over and over, his voice howls and cajoles itself to a quiet place. While a version of it was later recreated with Volcano Choir and packaged as “Still,” I much prefer the original.

Also, a fun bit of trivia for you Northern Exposure fans. In keeping with the namesake, (Bon Iver is a bastardized version of the french expression bon hiver, meaning good winter, which Vernon garnered from an episode of the show.) one of the best characters Holling Vincouer would go to his homemade still in the woods whenever he was troubled. As close contender “Blood Bank” is also based off another episode, I can’t help but think this is where the inspiration behind “Woods” was generated.

Whether that is the case or not, this is truly my favorite song of the year.

MP3: Bon Iver – “Woods”

I often ponder about Zack and I.  And I need to stop that because I’m focusing on the past and I need to get over it, hahaha. But I’m going to rant, and trust me, I have a point.

Zack and I were friends in high school.  We had several classes together and always talked.  I first met him because my friend Courtney thought he was just the cutest thing ever.  So I snuck into Stage Crew to see just how cute he was.  Yup, he was cute. And then I became one of the Stage Crew kids because most of my friends where in that class and then he was in my Math class my junior year.  Senior year he was in my weight training class and I gave him a ride home once and he even returned the favor.  We never really hung out outside of school, but in classes we were good buds.  Like in weight training, he was one of the boys who helped me lift. He was also one of the boys I watched worked out, I loved watching him do pull ups because he has this spot on his lower back that fascinated me.  I was with Russell and as I graduated, Zack was hardly on my mind.  He was just a friend, I half expected to lose touch with him.  But not if he had anything to say about that.

The first time Zack and I hung out outside of school was when I was down in Provo attending a University down there.  He drove out there just to catch up and spend time.  He even rubbed my back, whooo! Haha. But he also made me feel uncomfortable, I was still with Russell and I felt he was getting too close to certain places, so I didn’t talk to him much after that.   But he was off fighting his own demons after that.

What I’m trying to get at is, how crazy is it now we’re together.  I never thought I would be the one kissing him or holding his hand.  I never thought I would struggle to leave his side.   Some days I think about how weird it is, I don’t remember what we all talked about, but I know we had some deep conversations.  Its just totally weird to think of where we are now.

I’ve been in love before.  I also believe you can love more than once, its just finding that one you want to love forever.  I don’t know if Zack is that person yet, but I do plan to date him till I find out.  Though lately, I’ve found it getting harder and harder to leave his side.  I haven’t been wanting to leave, so I’ve been laying with him while he sleeps.  I dose off here and there, but when I’m awake I watch him sleep.  I didn’t know such a beast of a man could look so peaceful while asleep. Okay so he’s not actually a beast, but he’s my first boyfriend that is actually well…built like a man.  No offense to the other boyfriends.  Haha.  And that’s another thing.  His hands could be greasy from being a mechanic, his feet could smell because of hockey and his teeth could be as crooked as a British man (heh go figure, his dad is actually British hahaha) and I still find him so unbelievable attractive, I never want to leave.  Which gets hard when I know I should be going home.  Something feels different and new when I’m with him.  I always want to be with him and I hate being away from him.  No, I’m not obsessed.  I’m not stalking him.  We don’t see each other very much because he’s working and I have school and such.  But thats okay, whatever time I get with him, I treasure.

Its also a little scary being so head over heels for him because it makes the chance of losing him much more hard to face.  Because of my doubt problems, I’m unsure about the chances of some girl coming along and him leaving me for this girl.  It could happen, but would he really leave me? I am also worried about my feelings not being returned, but what am I going to do about that? Make him love me? Ahhh, the first stages of relationships.  Its scary being so in love, but this time around with Zack, I’m going to hold hands with scary.

I haven’t talked to Russell for a week.  I went and got my fish and I wish instead of being upset that I actually took time to give him a big hug and a good luck, but instead I was ticked and tried to make the process as fast as possible.  But I guess thats what I get.  But I’m glad he’s making big steps in his life.   And he’s going to be just fine.

Hollyoaks is nothing if ambitious and so after skydiving deaths, alter ego stand-offs and numerous film student moments, the ‘Oaks has given us the special flashforward episode set in May 2010, where stacked hottie and rightful Strictly champion Calvin was gunned down in his prime.

OMG!

It was something of a head scratcher, raising a whole heap of questions that we can now spend the next five months trying to answer, the main one being, of course, whodunnit?

We can’t wait to see what Calvin has done to fuck off so many people, as the menu of suspects ranged from the expected to the rather random (many of whom were helpfully summarised in the end bit). In no specific order:

Mercedes
Our verdict: whilst hell hath no fury like a vag scorned we cannot believe that she would rid the world of a functioning man truncheon. No chance.

Malachy
Our verdict: he wasted the opportunity for Jackie Jackson-style bestman speech, so we’re not convinced he has that killer instinct. Unless he was planning to drown Calvin in a pool of his anguished tears. Wuss.

Sasha
Our verdict: maybe. If she found out that Calvin abandoned her beloved Warren to his fiery/mirror fate she would get the right hump. Sulky mare.

Spencer
Our verdict: please. If Spencer got a gun he’d end up shooting himself in the face.

Lauren
Our verdict: Lauren can be one vindictive goth when she wants to be. Can’t believe she’d whack her own brother though.

Jacqui
Our verdict: Meh. She may have been full of righteous fury at Mercy and Calvin’s affair, but if she moidered every person Mercedes shagged who she shouldn’t then there would be barely a person left alive.

Zack
Our verdict: despite the face punchy aggro (which seemed to involve Des somehow too), we think Zack is a bit too mild mannered to indulge in gun crime.

Leo
Our verdict: get all Darth Vader on his son’s ass? Mebbees. He’s always been a bit shifty.

Michaela and Theresa
Our verdict: a random factor, but we could roll with it.

Jake
Our verdict: got form as a psycho. Is a disgruntled ex-employee. Why not.

Kris and Cheryl
Our verdict: Nah. A simple bullet in the heart wouldn’t be a flamboyant enough MO for these two. Any murderous scheme of theirs would involve swans, dry ice and Kate Bush.

Rhys
Our verdict: our wild card. Rhys hasn’t done anything interesting for years, so it would be about time. He and Calvin shared an odd exchange about a secret and, knowing Rhys, the mind can only boggle at the sexual deviancy he could be involved in now.

Or, it could be someone completely off piste: Claire (why not? it’s usually her); Baby Leah; crazy alchie Louise returns; Holly with a champagne cork (this one is courtesy of a Twitter friend of WLH), Mark Gasgoyne; Bonnie Tyler in another cameo…. or Carmel, vengeful after discovering her man’s cheating ways?

Other questions:
What has happened to Holly? Is she dead? Did Cindy swap her for a Gucci bag?

Do they really expect us to believe the Loft will still be standing in 5 months time? Really? Under  the increasingly inept management of Calvin, Mercy, Mal, Sasha and Spencer we are surprised it hasn’t burnt to the ground already. Again.

Why is the future all smokey? We imagine that’s how the world looks during the early stages of cataracts.

Where were Hannah, Newt, the Roys, Steph, Frankie, Jack, Zoe, Lydia etc? (perhaps the latter two have death matched each other by then)

Why was Suzanne there and no Nev?

Where exactly would ANYONE in the village get their hands on a gun? Eastenders they aint.

Now, Carmel and Calvin’s Dirty Dancing tribute/debacle was hardly a sell out, so unless the killer was hidden half a mile away, sniper style, then surely someone would have seen said killer?

We think this is a case for CSI: Chester.

So many questions *head explodes*. Loved it. Roll on May 2010, when, we were assured, the truth will out. Yay.

T’was the snark before Christmas,
When, all through the house,
Not a person was sober,
Drunk on Famous Grouse.
The ladies asleep,
Jizz still in their hair,
As I crept out of bed,
And down, stair by stair.
Now under the tree,
Fallen off from the chez,
My 12-Pack of condoms,
And tossed off negligees.
But hark, do I see?
Do mine eyes deceive?
An unexplained gift,
On this Christmas Eve.
“Santa! He’s come!”
I yelled and exclaimed,
And danced, and pranced,
With no ounce of shame.
I picked up a note,
And read it with joy,
“Zachary, ho-ho-ho! You’ve been a very bad boy!”
My heart slowly sank,
With these words Santa wrote,
And my bones felt a chill,
Deep in my winter coat.
“You shameless lothario,
These women you’ve bed!
So for Christmas this year,
Not one more you will get.
I’ll teach you a lesson,”
He continued to scold.
“I’ll give you one crazy,
She’ll sure break the mold.
Her ass is as plump
As a ripe Christmas goose.
Her hair, red like holly,
Or bright Christmas fruit.”
“Oh no!” I cried out,
“Surely I don’t deserve!
Rapists or murderers,
But not this poor perv!”
With fear I did turn,
But to see standing there,
A girl, with an ass,
And the craziest hair.
My Christmas gift,
It appears, here to stay,
Is an unpleasant house guest,
In the snarkiest way.

—- Happy Holidays from the crew at A Couple of Snark —-
Love, Zack & Laura.

The night opened up with the All-American American Jack Swagger returning to ECW.  The former ECW Champion stated it was good to be back where he got his start and to see changing faces in Land of Extreme but that the more things change the more they stay the same referencing his distaste in ECW Champion Christian and ECW Original Tommy Dreamer. With that he said he looked forward to winning the ECW Homecoming, facing Christian at the Royal Rumble and becoming the ECW Champion once again. 

Zack Ryder vs. Tommy Dreamer

Literally wasting no time as Swagger hadn’t even left the stage, the LI bro and lovely lady Rosa Mendes entered the arena. They gave swagger the nod and made their way down to the ring. Ryder, having lost his Homecoming qualifier to the returning Kane gets his chance to follow up on his goal to end Tommy Dreamer.  Good overall match ending with a surprise Zack Attack following a hotshot off the ropes and Dreamer removing his shirt (seriously, not making this up) with Ryder picking up the win.  I don’t think this’ll end the feud as Tommy Dreamer isn’t an easy person to get rid of and I’m looking forward to what this combination can bring in the ring. That and Rosa is saying ”woo woo woo” to the crowd at ringside.

An interesting thing I’ve noticed in recent weeks though is that there is zero crowd response during a Dreamer match unless he’s got the upper hand. Archer and Ryder both have given great performances as strong heel personas against the ECW Original but it’s like the crowd left to go get DX merchandise leaving only the hardcore ECW fans from the pre-WWE years.

 The Abraham Washington Show w/Trent Barreta & Caylen Croft

As usually Tony Atlas got introduced to do the introduction except the past week or so Savannah’s doing it as the new ring announcer.  Abraham Washington comes out does his standard intro complete with “applause” sign then proceeds to tell some opening jokes.  I swear I half expected Courtney Taylor to chase a guy in a tiger suit again (see RAW) with as many Tiger Woods jokes Abe was dropping.  He then introduced the newest additions to the New Superstar Initiative Trent Barreta & Caylen Croft.  After upsetting Abe by jumping on his furniture and touching the set the duo told everyone what set them apart from the rest of the tag team division and that at next years Homecoming they’ll be competing in it as the Unified Tag Team Champions.  Then they called Tony old after he tried to relate to the young superstars which actually got some good heat from the crowd.  So good job Tony, helping yet another talented superstar get over with the fans.

 ECW Homecoming Qualifier

Vance Archer vs. Goldust

The intense Archer continues his “Masterpiece of Agony” this week defeating Goldust and moves on to the 8-Man Homecoming Finale.  The match as whole was great and people really seem to like Goldust. I mean, it’s a little scary how much they like him. Either way, I’m interested to see how Archer fairs in the Finale as his whole thing is the methodical decimation of the ECW roster.  I kind of expect him to either win the whole thing or be one of the last two men eliminated.  If he goes out early you might as well just team him with Tyler Reks now.

 ECW Homecoming Qualifier

Jack Swagger vs. Yoshi Tatsu

Before the match Swagger came into ECW GM Tiffany’s office to say hi.  They shared some playful banter only for The Hurricane to interrupt.  Swagger proceeds to ask the masked avenger of Tuesday nights what exactly his super powers entailed.  And apparently The Hurri-Powers are as limitless as the imagination.  So there you have it, The Hurricane is a physical construct of our collective imaginations.  I approve.  The Hurricane left making fun of Citizen Swagger’s lisp.

 Swagger also visited ECW Champion Christian give Yoshi Tatsu some last minute preparation involving some funny translation jokes and Tatsu calling Swagger a jackass.

As I stated last week, there’s no way for this match to be anything less than stellar.  I’ve yet to see a bad Swagger match or Tatsu match to date and it didn’t happen this week when the two collided for a spot in the Homecoming Finale.  Swagger dominated most of the match with quick flurries by Tatsu and just when you thought one of them was going to take the victory they’d counter or kick out.  This happened so frequently toward the end that I think the crowd silenced from having a collective brain aneurysm from not knowing who was going to pull this one out.  In the end, Swagger’s frustration and cockiness was his down fall as Tatsu lands his high kick from out of nowhere yet again winning the match by pinfall.

 With the Homecoming Finale half filled by Ezekiel Jackson, Kane, Vance Archer and Yoshi Tatsu next week we can look forward to a double dose of returning favorites as Evan Bourne and Matt Hardy come back to the Land of Extreme.

 Superstar of the Week

I’m a little torn this week as to who to choose: Swagger was a great returning superstar and his segments were spot on but he lost his qualifier in an epic match against Tatsu. And then there’s Tony Atlas, who’s hilarious and made a big impact on Baretta & Croft’s crowd reaction. So after consulting with fellow 1/8th Nelson contributor The Masked Marvel, we decided that Jack Swagger though losing his match deserves this week’s Superstar of the Week.

Now after this title  I know that you are expecting a very excited and interesting story. After all, it is quite exciting and interesting that a young Hutterite lad such as I did save Christmas. Or at least, did my part to save Christmas.

You see, there is a group or organization that would have us do away with Christmas. The would have us celebrate ‘the holidays’ instead of Jesus’ birthday. They would have us set up a Holiday tree in our living rooms instead of a Christmas tree. Basicly they want to take Christ out of Christmas. 

 Do you believe such insanness! Who are these monsters??!! Their name is: The American Civil Labors Union, more commonly known as the ACLU. For those of you who aren’t aware of them, the ACLU,  is the one (or is it are the ones?) suing the U.S. Government to take God, Christmas or anything Christian away from us. 

On their website ACLU.org you can read that their motto is ‘…becaue freedom doesn’t protect itself’. Jeez!? And what about the freedom of the christians, the folks who want to celebrate the birthday of Christ, we don’t want to just have holidays, we like to celebrate Christmas! Although the holiday part of the whole shebang is pretty fun too….

And How did Zack save Christmas from the monsters you ask? I sent them a holiday Christmas card. Yes, a Christmas card. As they are working so very hard to get rid of the CHRISTMAS part of this holiday,  I sent them a nice CHRISTIAN card to brighten up their dark, sad, little world.. I made  sure it says “Merry Christmas” on it too!

And that’s how I saved Christmas… And it only cost me $.44!

 I would encourage you to also send them a card, and help me on the quest to put Christ back into Christmas! Here is their Address:

 ACLU
125 Broad Street
18th Floor
New York , NY 10004

Two tons of Christmas cards would freeze their operations because they wouldn’t know if any were regular mail containing contributions.  So spend the 44 cents and tell the ACLU to leave Christmas alone.

…Credit to my good buddy Dan who notified  me of the plan to destroy Christmas, and sent me the idea of sending them a card.

Merry Christmas!!!!

My thoughts on a book. If On a Winter’s Night a Traveller by Italo Calvino

 The Book is actually about someone trying to read ‘If On a Winter’s Night a Traveler’. The first chapter and each consecutive odd chapter are about the main character, the reader (you), reading this book, or at least attempting to read the book. Plot: after reading the first chapter, the reader realizes that there has been a mistak at the binder, and the book is messed up. Yet the first chapter has got him so ‘hooked’ that he cannot get the story out of his mind, and he has to find out what happens, this compels him to go to the bookbinder, to get the correction, and from there….

Well i won’t tell you the whole story!

This book is in a word: Mindblowing! The Author is Genius. It is complety unlike any other book or for that matter genre, then I have ever in my entire life read. And i read quite a bit. If you decide to read this please don’t go into it with any presuppositions. You have to keep a very open mind about it. It is a complicated read though. In spite of this, it is very satisfying.  I would not recommend this book for everybody. I can easily see somebody thinking it is a dumb book, because at first it makes zero sense. After reading the first chapter i had to stop, because my head was swimming with new ideas. I was greatly inspired. It has given me a completley new aspect on my writing.   Now That is quite a big talkup for just one book, and you may not get the same from it as I did. Maybe it’s just me. But if you do read it, let me know  what you think about it.

These are overdue pictures taken early December. I invited friends whom i met in UBD Gala Night 09 for a random photoshoot, while composing an entry for Baiduri’s Photo Competition –themed ‘Enjoy life’. Pictures are just taken for fun, not for competition.

Thanks for the accompany everyone. I got a satisfying shot of ‘fishing’ for Baiduri’s submission that day.

I wonder when will the result be released, the closing date was on the 8th Dec 09, and it’s 16th Dec now~ *anticipating*

Thanks for nothing, airbags. Should have died.

Remember the Anthrax attacks after 911 ? Is this just another case of terrorists getting away with attacking the USA?

The US has completely FAILED to hunt down Osama Bin Laden ,whom they CLAIM was the mastermind of the Twin Towers 911 terrorist attacks. They also have completely FAILED to track down the mastermaind of the Anthrax attacks that followed!

It seems that the US is completely useless at defending itself. It would suggest that if you wanted to attack the US ,you would probably get away with it!

BUT in REALITY the trail left by these “acts” of terrorism all seem to lead to the US Government!

911
Ex-Italian President: Intel Agencies Know 9/11 An Inside Job
Man who set up Operation Gladio tells Italy’s largest newspaper attacks were run by CIA, Mossad
 Former Italian President and the man who revealed the existence of Operation Gladio Francesco Cossiga has gone public on 9/11, telling Italy’s most respected newspaper that the attacks were run by the CIA and Mossad and that this was common knowledge amongst global intelligence agencies.

Cossiga was elected President of the Italian Senate in July 1983 before winning a landslide 1985 election to become President of the country in 1985.

Cossiga gained respect from opposition parties as one of a rare breed – an honest politician – and led the country for seven years until April 1992.

Cossiga’s tendency to be outspoken upset the Italian political establishment and he was forced to resign after revealing the existence of, and his part in setting up, Operation Gladio – a rogue intelligence network under NATO auspices that carried out bombings across Europe in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s

911 was conducted during “Global Guardian” and “Vilgilant Guardian” training exercise. This simulated multiple aircraft hijacks on the US in  NORADS monitoring systems AT EXACTLY THE SAME TIME AS THE 911 HIJACKINGS TOOK PLACE!!!! Global Guardian is performed in conjunction with “Vigilant Guardian”, the annual training exercise conducted by NORAD in which a threat to North American airspace is simulated. The simulated scenario is varied from year to year.The September 11 attacks in 2001 occurred during that year’s Global Guardian and Vigilant Guardian joint exercises.

OSAMA BIN LADEN DENIED RESPONSIBILITY FOR 911

After initial denial, in 2004 Osama bin Laden claimed responsibility for the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osama_bin_laden#September_11.2C_2001_attacks

In 2004 Osama Bin Laden was already DEAD! Osama Bin Laden has been dead for years . He needs kidney Dialysis ,without it he would die. The CIA met with Bin Laden in a US Hospital in Dubai just before 911.Benazir Bhutto announced Bin Laden’s death during a BBC interview,the BBC cut it out of the interview. She was later shot.

FAKE BIN LADEN TAPES

On December 20, 2001, German TV channel “Das Erste” broadcast its analysis of the White House’s translation of the videotape. On the program “Monitor”, two independent translators and an expert on oriental studies found the White House’s translation to be both inaccurate and manipulative stating “At the most important places where it is held to prove the guilt of bin Laden, it is not identical with the Arabic” and that the words used that indicate foreknowledge can not be heard at all in the original cristian. Prof. Gernot Rotter, professor of Islamic and Arabic Studies at the Asia-Africa Institute at the University of Hamburg said “The American translators who listened to the tapes and transcribed them apparently wrote a lot of things in that they wanted to hear but that cannot be heard on the tape no matter how many times you listen to it.”^[6] Some members of Scholars for 9/11 Truth believe that the man in this videotape is not Osama bin Laden at all, citing differences in weight and facial features, along with his wearing of a gold ring, which is forbidden by Muslim law, and using his right hand, although he is left-handed

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Videos_of_Osama_bin_Laden

On February 12, 2003, U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell told a Senate panel that he had reviewed a transcript of a message from bin Laden stating he was in “partnership with Iraq” which was to be broadcast on al Jazeera.^[8] Al Jazeera initially denied having the tape,^[9] but subsequently recieved it in the post .After Colin Powells announcement!!! Another case of announcing “evidence” before IT HAPPENED was the BBC reporting the collapse of WTC 7 ,a steel building that was still standing in camera shot during the announcement of its collapse!

7/7

Coincidently Visor Consultancy was conducting a terrorist training exorcise at exactly the same time as the 7/7 terrorist bombing in London!  

A fictional “scenario” of multiple bomb attacks on London’s underground took place at exactly the same time as the bomb attack on July 7, 2005.

Peter Power, Managing Director of Visor Consultants, a private firm on contract to the London Metropolitan Police, described in a BBC interview how he had organized and conducted the anti-terror drill, on behalf of an unnamed business client.

The Anthrax Attacks

The Anthrax used to attack the US was WEAPONISED ANTHRAX that was manufactured at US Bio-”Defence” labs at Fort Detrick. 

Philip M. Zack, Lt. Col. (retired), Ph.D., DVM is an American microbiologist. ‘Phil’ Zack worked at USAMRIID in Fort Detrick through December 1991, then at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, then for Eli Lilly, and then for a company in Colorado acquired by St. Louis’ Nexstar Financial Management.

The evidence against the racist Zionist bigot Dr. Philip “Mengele” Zack is very strong. Lab specimens of anthrax spores, Ebola virus and other pathogens disappeared from the Army’s biological warfare research facility in the early 1990s during the very same period that the conspirators were harassing Dr. Assaad. An 1992 inquiry into the disappearance of the deadly pathogens found evidence that someone was secretly entering the laboratory late at night to conduct unauthorized research involving anthrax. A numerical counter on a piece of lab equipment had been rolled back to hide work done by the mystery researcher. A lab scientist, Dr. Mary Beth Downs, told investigators that she had come to work several times in 1992 to find that someone had been in the lab at odd hours to use the electron microscope to conduct some clandestine research. Dr. Downs reported in a memo that whoever was using the microscope was “either in a big hurry or didn’t know what they were doing.” Documents from the inquiry show that one unauthorized person who was observed entering the laboratory at night was Lt. Col. Philip Zack who at the time no longer worked at Fort Detrick. A surveillance camera recorded Lt. Col. Zack being let in at 8:40 P.M. on January 23, 1992, by another conspirator by the name Dr. Marian Rippy. Dr. Philip M. Zack has not been arrested.

The Hartford Courant newspaper ran a series of articles in December 2001 and January 2002 which discussed Dr. Zack as a “person of interest” in the 2001 anthrax attacks in the US, his relationship with Dr. Marian K. Rippy, and their harassment of Dr. Ayaad Assaad at USAMRIID in 1991. ^[1] After Zack had been fired from Fort Detrick, a surveillance camera recorded him being let in at 8:40 p.m. on Jan. 23, 1992, apparently by Dr. Marian Rippy.^[2]

Others have claimed Zack, who worked at Ft. Detrick where the anthrax came from, is a person of interest.^[3] Dr. Philip Zack had the means, access to weaponized anthrax, exhibited hostile behaviours towards Dr. Ayaad Assaad, his colleague, and was caught on a security video two months after being fired entering without authorization a lab where anthrax samples went missing. The FBI knew of Zack and his unauthorized access to the lab, and Assaad had been questioned by the FBI in connection with the attacks.^[4][5][6]

Salon magazine ran a story by Laura Rozen on January 26, 2002, which reported that Zack was among those: “eager to continue working on projects USAMRIID said they should stop. What followed, the documents reveal, were scientists sneaking into the Army biowarfare lab to work on pet projects after-hours and on weekends, former workers like Zack, who left in 1991, still being let in to do lab work, pressure applied to technicians to help out, documents going missing, and deliberate mislabeling of specimens among other efforts to hide unsanctioned lab work.”

The story begins in the days following the 9/11 terrorist attacks when anthrax-laced letters, mailed to media offices in New York and to the U.S. Senate in Washington, spread fear and panic across the United States and beyond. The filmmakers probe troubling questions surrounding the FBI’s investigation of the 21st Century’s first act of biological terrorism.

In tracing the 2001 bio-terror attacks in the U.S. to the heart of the U.S. bio-defense program, this film raises an alarm. These attacks that helped prepare a country for war have also spawned a multi-billion dollar bio-defense boom. The line between bio-offense and bio-defense is becoming extremely thin.

Biological weapons research is now being conducted by corporations and private labs without effective government oversight. The international treaty prohibiting the development of offensive bio-weapons may no longer be sufficient to keep the world from drifting towards the unthinkable biological warfare.

Dr. David Kelly Bio-weapons inspector Murdered

British weapons inspector Dr. David Kelly was writing an expose about his work with anthrax and his warnings that Iraq possessed no weapons of mass destruction at the time of his death in July 2003, according to a report published in a British newspaper.

Kelly’s death — said to have been a suicide — has stirred controversy, as it came on the heels of testimony to the House of Commons about a memo which purported that Britain had “sexed up” a dossier on Iraq’s alleged weapons of mass destruction. A Parliamentary inquiry ruled that the death had been suicide, though it also included testimony from a former British ambassador who quotes Kelly as having said, “I will probably be found dead in the woods” if Iraq were invaded.

The new report says Kelly had spoken with an Oxford publisher several times about a book.

“He had several discussions with a publisher in Oxford and was seeking advice on how far he could go without breaking the law on secrets,” the UK Daily Express alleged.

Kelly’s computers were seized in the wake of his death. He was a signatory to Britain’s Official Secrets Act, which allows for the prosecution of those who talk to the press about state secrets and prescribes a more stringent framework for secrecy than in the United States.

According to the paper, “he was intending to reveal that he warned Prime Minister Tony Blair there were no weapons of mass destruction anywhere in Iraq weeks before the ­British and American invasion… and was also intending to lift the lid on a potentially bigger scandal, his own secret dealings in germ warfare with the apartheid regime in South Africa.”

The allegations of a potential Kelly expose come from a new film about biological weapons being debuted in London on the sixth anniversary of Kelly’s death titled “Anthrax War” (the documentary aired earlier this year on Canadian public television). Kelly was an expert in biological warfare agents, as well as a former United Nations weapons inspector in Iraq.

‘Anthrax War’

‘‘The deeper you look into the murky world of governments and germ warfare, the more worrying it becomes,” the film’s director, Bob Coen, is quoted as saying. “We have proved there is a black ­market in anthrax. David Kelly was of particular interest to us because he was a world expert on anthrax and he was involved in some degree with assisting the secret germ warfare program in apartheid South Africa.”

According to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s summary of the film, Coen “was raised in Zimbabwe where the former white regime has been accused of unleashing anthrax against the black population… [who] embarks on a journey that raises troubling questions about the FBI’s investigation of the 21st century’s first act of biological terrorism.

“Coen’s investigation takes him from the U.S. to the U.K. and from the edge of Siberia to the tip of Africa. In a rare interview, Coen confronts ‘Doctor Death’ Wouter Basson, who headed Project Coast, the South African apartheid-era bio-warfare program,” the network’s website adds. “Project Coast used germ warfare against select targets within the country’s black population.

“Anthrax War also investigates the mysterious deaths of some of the world’s leading anthrax scientists, including Dr. David Kelly, the UK’s top military microbiologist, the Soviet defector Dr. Vladimir Pasechnik, and Dr. Bruce Ivins,” the CBC continues. “The FBI claims – despite the doubts of highly ranked U.S. officials – that Ivins was the only person behind the U.S. anthrax murders.”

The Ukrainian Flu Virus

KTLA 5 News August – Today, the MSM are not talking about this case any more. Yesterday, they wanted us to believe that Joseph Moshe was a nutcase and a terrorist, arrested for threatening to bomb the White House. Interesting detail about his arrest (the Westwood standoff) was that he seemed to be immune to the 5 cans of tear gas and 5 gallons of law-enforcement grade pepper spray they pumped into his face. He very calmly remained in his car, as the video footage of his arrest shows.

Professor Moshe had called into a live radio show by Dr. A. True Ott, broadcast on Republic Broadcasting claiming to be a microbiologist who wanted to supply evidence to a States Attorney regarding tainted H1N1 Swine flu vaccines being produced by Baxter BioPharma Solutions. He said that Baxters Ukrainian lab was in fact producing a bioweapon disguised as a vaccine. He claimed that the vaccine contained an adjuvant (additive) designed to weaken the immune system, and replicated RNA from the virus responsible for the 1918 pandemic Spanish flu, causing global sickness and mass death.

Sources tell us that Bar-Joseph Moshe made no threat against the President or the White House. He did not mention any bomb or attack. He then proceeded to inform the White House he intended to go public with this information

Pharmaceutical Companies spreading disease.

Baxter Pharmaceutical has been caught, red-handed, in spreading a live, genetically engineered H5N1 Bird flu vaccine as a lethal biological weapon all over the world, destined to be used for human vaccinations. This happened just a few months ago. And only luck prevented a global catastrophe of epic proportions.

Baxter International Inc. had mixed live, genetically engineered avian flue viruses in vaccine material shipped to 18 countries. Only by sheer luck, a Czech laboratory decided to test the vaccine on a dozen ferrets, which all died in days. The World Health Organization was notified and catastrophe was averted. This was clearly a deliberate act on Baxters part, because they adhere to BS3, bio-safety level three. Baxter admitted a mistake. Such monumental screwups are totally impossible at that level. Many safety systems would have needed to be sabotaged, many key personell would have needed to be bribed. It simply cant be done without direction from the inside. They did not send out the wrong vial they produced dozens of gallons of biological-weapon agent (genetically engineered live H5N1 / Bird flu virus), then sent it out as a vaccine.

Baxter knew full well that their vaccine was lethal, because the year before they had tested it on a few hundred homeless Polish people dozens died as a result.

Wheres the meat? Well Baxter is now being sued for the deliberate, repeated contamination of vaccines with biological weapons designed by them to mass-murder people. Here is the complaint (PDF). By some kook nutcase? Not likely Jane Burgermeister is an experienced, respected journalist. She is not the only one suing Baxter for planning and executing a plan for global genocide

“After 1978, there were four major companies in the United States engaged in the manufacture, production and sale of Factor VIII and IX: Armour Pharmaceutical Company, Bayer Corporation and its Cutter Biological division, Baxter Healthcare and its Hyland Pharmaceutical division and Alpha Therapeutic Corporation, which have been or are defendants in certain lawsuits.

The plaintiffs allege that the companies manufactured and sold blood factor products as beneficial “medicines” that were, in fact of likely to be contaminated with HIV and/or HCV. This resulted in the mass infection and/or deaths of thousands of haemophiliacs worldwide.^[22]

It is believed that three of these companies, Alpha, Baxter, and Cutter, recruited and paid donors from high risk populations, including prisoners (i.e. prison-based collections), intravenous drug users, and plasma centers with predominantly homosexual donors, esp. in cities with large populations thereof, to obtain blood plasma used for the production of Factor VIII and IX.

In January 2001, Bayer agreed to pay $14 million to the United States and 45 states to settle allegations under the federal False Claims Act that the company caused physicians and other health care providers to submit fraudulently inflated reimbursement claims to the state and federally funded Medicaid program.

A Growing List of Dead Microbiologists

When the Miami Police first found Benito Que, he was slumped on a desolate side street, near the empty spot where he had habitually parked his Ford Explorer. At about the same time, Don C. Wiley mysteriously disappeared. His car, a white rented Mitsubishi Galant, was abandoned on a bridge outside of Memphis, where he had just had a jovial dinner with friends. The following week, Vladimir Pasechnik collapsed in London, apparently of a stroke.

The list would grow to nearly a dozen in the space of four nerve-jangling months. Stabbed in Leesburg, Va. Suffocated in an air-locked lab in Geelong, Australia. Found wedged under a chair, naked from the waist down, in a blood-splattered apartment in Norwich, England. Hit by a car while jogging. Killed in a private plane crash. Shot dead while a pizza delivery man served as a decoy.

What joined these men was their proximity to the world of bioterror and germ warfare. Que, the one who was car-jacked, was a researcher at the University of Miami School of Medicine. Wiley, the most famous, knew as much as anyone about how the immune system responds to attacks from viruses like Ebola. Pasechnik was Russian, and before he defected, he helped the Soviets transform cruise missiles into biological weapons. The chain of deaths — these three men and eight others like them — began last fall…

The ORIGINAL Swine Flu and Vaccination was also a HOAX and a goverment health disaster.

“From the Archives: Radio Public Service Announcements ~ The Swine Flu Epidemic of 1975-76.”

This is a recording session held with Jimmy the Greek to produce a series of public service announcements promoting widespread vaccination in anticipation of a wide-spread outbreak of Swine Flu in the winter of 1975-76. The PSAs were produced by the Centers for Disease Control, which spearheaded a massive inoculation campaign. No swine flu epidemic came, and unfortunately the vaccine proved to be worse than the disease. Thousands experienced serious side effects, and nearly 100 people died. The government’s aggressive initiative ended in an embarrasing public health fiasco. This recording comes from the Records of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1921 – 1995, National Archives (NARA II).

The document on the WHO website linked below states that it is common procedure to release pandemic viruses into the population in order to get a jump ahead of the real pandemic, so as to fast track the vaccine for when it is needed.

In Europe, some manufacturers have conducted advance studies using a so-called “mock-up” vaccine. Mock-up vaccines contain an active ingredient for an influenza virus that has not circulated recently in human populations and thus mimics the novelty of a pandemic virus.

According to the website, “Such advance studies can greatly expedite regulatory approval.”

Big Pharma inside the WHO: confidential analysis of unreleased WHO Expert Working Group draft reports, 8 Dec 2009

The compilation of documents shows the influence of “Big Pharma” on the policy making decisions of the WHO, the UN body safeguarding public health.

http://www.wikileaks.org/wiki/Big_Pharma_caught_spying_on_the_WHO

by Dr. Mae-Wan Ho and Prof. Joe Cummins 

The vaccines are far more deadly than the swine flu. Mass vaccinations is a recipe for disaster Dr. Mae-Wan Ho and Prof. Joe Cummins 

This report has been submitted to Sir Liam Donaldson, Chief Medical Officer of the UK, and to the US Food and Drug Administration 

But what worries the public most is the mass vaccination programmes governments are putting in place to combat the emerging pandemic, which could well be worse than the pandemic itself.

 Critics point out that the ‘vaccination experts’ are dominated by the vaccine makers standing to gain from the enormously lucrative vaccine and antiviral contracts awarded by governments. But the decisive argument against mass vaccinations is that flu shots simply don’t work and are dangerous [9].

WARNING WARNING WARNING

Legal Immunity for Pharmaceutical Industry

The US Secretary of Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius, has just signed a decree granting vaccine makers total legal immunity from any lawsuits that result from any new “Swine Flu” vaccine. Moreover, the $7 billion US Government fast-track program to rush vaccines onto the market is being done without even normal safety testing.
The mass vaccinations are to be carried out predominantly for pregnant women and children. So far, neither the WHO nor the CDC or any other scientific body has demonstrated required scientific proof for the existence of the alleged H1N1 Influenza A new virus. The decree by the Department of Health and Human Services grants immunity to those making a “swine flu” vaccine, under the provisions of a 2006 law for public health emergencies.

The best fanmade video I’ve seen of Final Fantasy.

Zack’s death still destroys my soul lol ;_;

The Evil Empire is at it again. The Yankees stole (bought) former Cy Young winners Cliff Lee and Roy Halladay from the Phillies and Blue Jays respectively.

For 48 hours, everyone seemed to be happy. The Philadelphia Phillies were going to acquire former Cy Young winner Roy Halladay, the Mariners were going to get former Cy Young Winner Cliff Lee, and the Blue Jays were going to get… rid of their off-season problems in return for… a few prospects.

In a deal that was said to be completed barring failed physicals by the players involved has turned into a nightmare for the participating teams in the 2009 off-season pitching sweepstakes.

Enter The Evil Empire.

After talks with Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee, the New York Yankees have bought the rights to arguably two of the best five pitchers in Major League Baseball for $51 million this season alone.

New York Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman explained the simple process as to how he stole Lee and Halladay away from their potential teams.

“Listen, sugar,” Cashman announced. “My real name is Brian Goldman.  But once I became a Yankees intern in 1986, I changed it to Cashman for a reason. Money doesn’t grow on trees, but money does grow on the Yankees.”

Halladay, on the other hand was confused.

“I’m confused,” Halladay said.

After buying AJ Burnett, Mark Teixeira and Carsten Charles Sabathia, most baseball fans thought the Yankees were done. But again, Cashman proved us wrong.

“I don’t know how many days there are in Christmas, but in Chanukah, we have eight days,” Cashman said. “That means one present every night. Since over half of the Yankees management is Jewish, that means we get at least four presents for this special holiday… or should I say Halladay? Oh, I’m so clever.”

The biggest losers in this deal are the Philadelphia Phillies.

“The Yankees already (expletive) on the (expletive) (expletive) World Series,” Phillies General Manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said calmly. “Are you (expletive) kidding me? How the (expletive) is this possible?”

Pundits said if the Yankees want any chance of winning their second straight World Series, they will need more than just the ageless Andy Pettitte, the horse Sabathia and the erratic, but often sensational Burnett.

“Now all we need is Zack Greinke and Tim Lincecum,” Cashman said. “Only then would this Chanukah season be complete.”

Game Notes:
Unlike the Ghosts of Christmas Past and Future, Cashman only talks about getting another Chanukah present.

Tonight was just the single most amaising experience of my life (when it comes to rock music) Theirs just nothing I can say, I’m that speechless.

I would right more tonight. but all I can realy say is EPIC and… buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. seriously. everythings buzzing. even my aches and pains. they is all buzzing. buzz buzz buzzzzzzz.

I do have to say… how FUCKING hot is Jeremy Davis. he IS the man of my dreams. he is the stephen equivilant of vicki’s jack barakat! and THATS saying something.

I need to find me a Jeremy, but I think that one doesn’t exist. :/

Ahhhh their’s so much paramore and you me at six in my head right now. I can’t beleive we were at the front. at when i say at the front, my legs were on the front row, my body on the second row and my head somewhere in between. just so amaising.

it was deffinately worth the three hours we spent in the cold… to be fair though we SHOULD of been further back in the que. luckely, people we know were futher forward, and they let is snuggle in with them. YAY!

anywhozers. ill blog more tomorrow, or try, im supposed to be doing other things tomorrow…

Night night people. lotsa Jeremy’s to ya!

As you may have figured, i’m in Olympia. Right now, i’m in the Hotel (which is suweet! kind of, but not really, my dad and I were really looking forward to hottubbing, But they’re redoing the tub and pool. Sucks! but whatever, at least theres a bathtub in the room and cable and obviously wifi ) I’m in the ‘business and tech’ room right now, internetting. Woohoo!

My trip started with a bad omen. We were scheduled to leave for three a.m. but i accidently set my alarm for 3:30 instead of 2:30.  So we got a little late start, but we still made excellent time. I drove from home to Quincy and dad drove the rest. Took about 4.5 hours all-in-all.

When we got to the auction site, it was freakin freezing! i think it was like eight degrees. Good thing mom made me bring insulated coveralls!

Auctioning is awesome! Just to sit and watch and try to figure out how the can talk so rapidly! Good stuff. now i wanna be two things when i grow up: an auctioneer and mature! lol.

Tomorow i might make a vid of them auctioneering and post it. but i don’t know if your allowed.

Well i just had a big DQ dinner and a banana milkshake so i think that and a really hot bath will do me for the night.

Later… Zack

Ola! I’m fairly excited right now. It is the middle of the night, but i’m getting up really early tomorrow morning. (In about three hours lol). So I’m staying up a little to pack, and load a couple audiobooks on my ipod.

I’m going to an auction in Olympia. Actually my dad is going, i’m just gonna be a second driver. He didn’t want to go alone because of the bad weather… So i’m going along for the adventure. I really don’t mind, i love to travel.

Today i saw ‘New Moon’. Wow! that was a great movie. I didn’t think id like it because the first one was terrible and did what a vacuum cleaner does, but this was great. In fact, i have never enjoyed a movie in theater as much as this one. Suspenseful, action, and funny. The Valtoire people are freakin awesome, i still cant get over that one leader dude. lol

Well shu gnug!

you folks have a good one…

One who is descending, Zack.

I had alot of free time on my hands today, so I decided to try something new, and I bought a porno from Comcast On Demand. And don’t act like paying for it makes me some sort of disgusting freak; paying for porn is no different than whacking it to uploaded Facebook pictures of girls in slutty halloween costumes…not that I do that. I’m sorry if this is news to you, ladies, but “schoolgirl” is no longer sexy because the short skirts make your legs look chunky and do nothing for your pancake ass, while the thick glasses emphasize your large ears, asymmetrical face and chubby cheeks, and the unbuttoned shirt that’s tied just above your waist simply draws stares to your protruding gut and ever so delectable muffin top.

Returning to the lecture at hand, this has to be the worst waste of $9.99 ever. I am currently watching a very fat gap-toothed girl with “rock” tattooed on one hand, and “roll” on the other vigorously attempting to pleasure herself, withuptempo jazz music featured as the soundtrack.

THIS IS NOT WHAT I PAID FOR. The film (I use the term film very loosely…as loosely as the cooches on TV are dangling) is titled, “Slutty Sorority”. You would imagine, that this film might have something to do with drunken co-eds exploring their sexual identities with each other after a night of raucous partying, culminating in a very sensual pillow fight, as they push the boundaries of their collegiate sexuality while Peter Frampton’s “Do You Feel Like I Do” echoes softly in the background. The description was way off, as well…here’s what it said:

Slutty Sorority Sisters: Hot Dorm Room Sex – These young girls are so desperate to be included in this exclusive sorority, they get nude and naughty for our cameras – and so much more!

Bullshit. I kid you not, this is merely a collection of some of the nastiest looking, has-been porn stars I have ever seen doing nothing but fingering themselves.

Uptempo jazz? Really?

Comcast, I want my money back.

Pretty much the title says it all. I’ve been wondering these last few days… some really wierd things have been happening, and my responses… gee, Is it the music i listen to?

For one, lately i’m having trouble remembering things from my (near-past) memory. For example, i know that there is a specific educated sounding word for (near-past) but my the tracks in my brain are jumbled so much, that my thought-train can’t run fast enough to produce the correct words and intelligible thoughts. In fact, this jumbled blog should give you an excellent example of exactly what i’m talking about?

Another example: I’m having trouble sleeping. This has never ever happenend in the history of Zacness. Usually when i hit the pillow, i’m out! Lately i fall asleep fast, but i have strange dreams. Often and many! Last night i dreamed that i had met the girl of my dreams, she worked in a Taco Bell in a small airport town. I was head over feet in love with her. I daily went to the fast food joint for a chalupa just to see her. When she asked my name, all i could muster was: Elvis.

Strange, wouldn’t you agree?

For as long as i can remember my mother has warned me about the ‘devil’s music’ and the dangers thereof. I just never thought that it would be this serious, and drastic, this fast.

Solving the problem.? I don’t know really, i’m hoping someone will be able to help me out with this one. What is the answer. What i’m doing as of now for a remedy is a full-blown renassaince of thinking and entertainment. I Have begun on a venture to read literature. Good classical stuff, from the George Orwells, and Socrates’ and How To Kill a Mockingbirds. Also, i have immersed myself into a world of chess-playing. I’m hopic this will re-instill the logic and quick decision-making skills into my brain, My young brothers have endured many matches with me lately. Lastly, i started listening to classical music, christmas carols and the such.

Favorite christmas tunes: Handels Messiah (hallelujah) by Relient K; Angels we have heard on high by Third Day; Joy To the World by Mariah Carey; and the such….

Gorilla vs. Bear posted their “Best Songs of 2009″ list earlier this week and Wavves “No Hope Kids” was on both. Looking back on the year, I still dig Wavves and don’t really care about all the bullshit arguments that everyone seemed to get into about this project. I actually like the music BECAUSE it has the super-stoner lazy feel and all in all I think I have ended up feeling rather bad for Nathan Williams; who (while may need to be put into rehab) was obviously ill-equipped to handle that kind of public attention/bashing. Point blank, he’s really a kid. And blah blah “don’t get into this business if you can’t handle it” blah blah blah I KNOW… BUT. I doubt he ever in a million years expected to stir up that kind of public outrage. And if I ever had a chance to chat with him, I’d tell him at the end of the day it’s just a bunch of geeks sitting behind their computer screens arguing semantics who don’t make music of their own. (I’ll include myself in that category as well.)

I hope he sticks with it.
