Just stumbled over this and other amusing tidbits over at the Freakonomics blog:
I want to add some sort of smell spectrum going from exhaust to poop at the bottom. Also:

Lich King Cinematic
Just watched this from over at kotaku. Good stuff, makes me kinda excited to get my death knight on. There's also a warhammer cinematic that I thought was pretty cool over there as well. Nope no warcraft poems from me, just videos, hehe.

Take this, literary/intellectual blog streak! Sandviches couldn't take you out, but maybe squirrel pits can! From Science News:
"Self-sniffing as a guide to kinship has earned the nickname “armpit effect.” Biologists have theorized that plenty of animal species rely on their armpits when they do favors for kin or avoid relatives as mates. “There’s tantalizing evidence for the armpit effect in people,” Mateo says, but ruling out other possible explanations has been tricky in any species..."
I feel that any article that begins with "Wake up and smell the armpit" deserves some attention.
Sensei started it! (or something)
If I should wake and you had died
Id slowly start to close my eyes
To see your spirit start to fly
Straight for the pale white moon
Your brilliance night could never hide
No brighter star has ever shined
And all your friends will have to cry
That you had left so soon
A star must fall after its rise
After the fall it grows in size!
It may take a thousand times
But you will find your truth
Id slowly start to close my eyes
To see your spirit start to fly
Straight for the pale white moon
Your brilliance night could never hide
No brighter star has ever shined
And all your friends will have to cry
That you had left so soon
A star must fall after its rise
After the fall it grows in size!
It may take a thousand times
But you will find your truth

Because it seemed more intersting than making a powerpoint presentation...
If I should wake before I die,
with crows and pigeons standing by
to bear me up into the sky,
pray the moon will watch and wait.
Boulders that before me rise
insurmountable in size,
landscape I should recognize,
only she will contemplate.
Across the path coyote lies,
years dancing over twilit eyes,
smiling at the slow demise

someone had to do it, with a Sandvich!
Someone had to break the post-monopoly Crow was working on.
Meet the Sandvich!
What does the Sandvich do? Well, it heals the heavy for 120hp. It's his unlockable. But wait? What's the deal with being healed 120hp? Apprarently he is vulnerable for 4 seconds...like reloading for four seconds...so it's an extended crap. He's got an unlimited amount of them though...
Why would you want to do this? Apparently if you're defending you can take on waves of enemies without leaving your post...thats the idea.
Regardless, he vid is entertaining. It's shot from the perspective of the sandvich in the fridge.

Real talk
My Lord, My God, youve done so well
This world of ours is perfect
Your love for us no words can tell
So much beyond the surface
No way that I could ever fail
And all the pain was worth it
For on this day my heart does sail
I feel that I deserve this
So in His light I always dwell
Forever in your service
this poem used to be a sip in case it looks familiar. After consideration Ive decided that this is by far my favorite poem that I have written in months, its the most geniune, and its inspiration the purest Ive ever had, so I felt it warranted its own post, sorry to dominate the cup but uhmmm, start posting if you dont like it!
Hope everyone is having a great morning. Regardless if your aware of it or not, it is great, so smile one time why dontcha?

the skinny (I hear that means the news)
so heres the deal. first off your not going to get the full deal. some things are going so damn well in my life I refuse to jinx them by mentioning them here. lets just say for the first time, in a long time, I feel like a good honest man. Im having fun with a cool friend and I couldnt be more happy to be alive than I am right now, tonight, as I sit and ponder of all the multitude of blessings bestowed upon me and my friends, in such a short amount of time. Its funny how much life can change in just a few months. Again, I do not know what the future hold for me, whether or not these days will bring forth fruit worthy of savoring is yet to be seen, but for once in my life, for just once, Im choosing to be happy for the moment, happy for today, for a day filled with innocent laughter and smiling, silly dogs, coloring books, and heart felt hugs, from a child, and her mother, nothing could possibly be more fulfilling and rewarding in the range of experiences that I have had the great benefit of being privy to. I would say its the best day of my life but thats not accurate, it fills more like the first day of my life, or rather, just a really good fucking day. Ya know? Not making more out of it than need be, just simply pointing out, I felt the love of the Creator today smiling upon my soul, showing me the true nature of selfless love, reminding me of my role in contributing to that never ending circle of light and love, and I remembered how fun it is to be alive, and how important I am to final outcome of so many stories and dreams yet to be written, and realized. Ive felt this way before, so Ill say that this is one of those days, the best days of my life, the days that dont seem like days, or nights, but just beautiful moments be linked together by love, and endless care, precision, and consideration by the Creator, so that each moment builds upon the last to lead to a crescendo of love, happiness, and as a result, epiphany. It was beautiful, I was humbled, and I take these moments for what they are worth, wrap them and hold them inside of my heart until the end of the world and beyond, Ill hold them deep inside that icy muscle of mine, as a beacon for hope, that one day, just one day, Ill stop there before the hope leads to a sin, before good intentions turn to desire, for now I just thank God for today.
Other than that I had not really been feeling well lately. Hehe, so much for those feelings, hopefully they stay dead, but "the demon" is a tricky character, one can never know for sure that hes gone for good. Lets just say I feel I have even more tools to defeat his lunacy than I did 24 hours ago. And for that I am thankful! Because for a second there I wasnt sure how I was going to beat this thing before school started and it affected my performance. Its only so fitting that it was the laughter of a child that reminded me how much I am loved by the Universe. How could I have ever doubted? I guess Im not out of the waters, I have a lot to go over in this upcoming week. I think me and the demon need to have a face to face at some point, I havent done that for almost 2 years now, I got some new things to tell him, we need to square some things away for good, because I dont need this aspect of self any longer in order to be whole. In fact, I feel he is crowding my heart, cramping my style, he just doesnt really fit in with any aspect of the man I have become. Im not quite sure why hes even still around, perhaps as long as theres any shadow in my heart than he has fodder to live on, but it must be only a matter of time before even my black heart becomes completely golden. I feel it must be approaching that state, not that Im perfect, or holy (well we are but anyways...), its just that I have very little reason to doubt, or to be jealous, when I have so much going for myself in so many arenas of my life, at this point I could even go as far as to say even my social life is where I want it to be, and that hasnt been true for a loooong time, perhaps more prayer, more meditation, more contemplation, more study is in need, I plan on doing all of these things (and seeing a doctor) before I start school next week. Ill let you know how this exorcism goes but I figure it like this, Jesus said his disciples would have the power to cast out demons, now I may not be a disciple, but Im for sure a believer, surely if I cant cure others of theirs, I should be able to exorcise my own! I think for quite some time now Ive been cornering this beast into one location, and in a way its given strength to the fucker, because now he has one very specific target, my manhood. But, if I can take away all that fodder that he uses by finally accepting self, in all aspects, even my worth to the opposite sex, than what the fuck leg is he going to stand on? haha, Ive got you know demon bitch! Wish me luck guys, the time is now, learn the lessons, break out the cage, and fly. Thats my new mantra.
Other than that heres some other news. I had so much fun in the Bay Area! Thank you all so much for hanging out with me and showing me around time. The Bay is nothing for me without you guys. Well the water is always awesome but you know what I mean. It just wouldnt be the marina without someone waking me up out of one of my spiritual visions to ask something weird like "did you just fart man?" Thats what its all about. The pizza place was superb. Ron joined me on that one. Some old folks offered us pizza because they ordered to much, Ron and I ate ours fast and bailed, the pizzas good, but its not that good....hehe.....Telegraph was Telegraph, and it seemed to pick up more random crack head bums since the last time I was in town, and I know this is strange, but it made me feel much more at home. Hellboy II was one of the best live action movies Ive seen in years, second to Dark Knight, but I preferred it over Iron Man, and the Hulk, and for me thats saying a lot. Although perhaps the beer goggles tainted my opinion to be more positive, but whatever Selma Blair is hot and that movie was funny, if I only feel that way because I was drunk, meh, Im not bothered by that. Nor do I believe that to be true. Ill have to go see it a second time and sober so that I can have a basis of comparison. Speaking of movies Mercedes and I went to go see Tropic Thunder last night. It was so fucking funny. Man, I laughed so hard, I was clapping all throughout, even Mercedes was looking at me like "damn...its not that funny" but its cool though because after those moments something else would happen that only she would find funny, I guess it just had something for everyone. I was laughing very hard at all the Heroin jokes. But Ill leave that one detail out there because I can not ruin this movie. I just must say Robert Downey Jr. is a fucking genius, both comedic, and dramatic, hes the best actor of our generation (Hanks isnt are generation man, hes like old because he was in this show where he cross dressed with his room mate to save money on the rent......). Go see this movie! That is all.
Oh ya Adam was awesome, he now knows that I am not a robot. Edward was cool and she even joined me on the bed for a while, which surprised me, and filled me with great pride at her acceptance. She "knows" me. Fat apples was awesome Lorigga! I will have to go back there for sure. I wish we could have had more time to hang out, you have to hit me up when your in L.A. dude, Im dying to get a reading from your mom, and I have a new person in line, Ive never ever asked this, but could she give my friend a reading? He seems extremely interested and I cant help but feel that God put him in my life to help him find someone like your mom because he gets lots of issues but doesnt understand what he should different. Which to me seems to mean hes fucking super stuck in his sign, perhaps hearing some of his traits out loud could help him control or curb the more "negative" aspects of his personality. I know that the readings have certainly help me to not fall prey to old patterns of behavior. Ahh but I digress.
I can not wait to come back up and see you all again. You all are my family, my heart, my inspiration, and my salvation. Thanks for allowing me to be a part of your paths. I am honored, humbled, and thankful for the opportunity to be a different friend for each of you. Until the next time I get back to the Bay, or until our paths next cross, may the light and love of the Creator always be with you all.

If I should fly away (inspired by Half Dome)
If I should fly away
I want no tears from you
Jesus could not stay
What would you have me do?
That’s why each day I pray
So my heart remains true
I will never betray
The love I feel for you
But I thought you knew
If I should fly away
I’ll still be right here
To make sure you’re ok
So please don’t shed a tear
Jesus once did say
Just pray and Ill appear
Through his light I’ll stay
To me it’s all so clear
Believe and I’ll be near
If I should fly away
It means that it’s my time
Id love to stay and play
But now its time to shine
Don’t lead the flock astray
Just follow your divine
And in the misty haze
My light your surely find
My voice inside your mind
I want no tears from you
Jesus could not stay
What would you have me do?
That’s why each day I pray
So my heart remains true
I will never betray
The love I feel for you
But I thought you knew
If I should fly away
I’ll still be right here
To make sure you’re ok
So please don’t shed a tear
Jesus once did say
Just pray and Ill appear
Through his light I’ll stay
To me it’s all so clear
Believe and I’ll be near
If I should fly away
It means that it’s my time
Id love to stay and play
But now its time to shine
Don’t lead the flock astray
Just follow your divine
And in the misty haze
My light your surely find
My voice inside your mind
