.. Homeless people with a GPS and a solar recharging unit to power it.
Since Im not big into philosophy.. Ive made up my own States of Existence. Maybe someone else can match my thoughts to a philosopher.
WHATEVER WE KNOW EXISTS.
Pretty self explanatory. From apples to that piece of dirt on your monitor. Its there.. its physically tangible… It exists.
WHATEVER WE IMAGINE CAN EXIST
Somewhere in an alternate universe, everything we ever made up is occurring. Aliens eating marines, lightsaber fights, having sex with that hot chick from the bar last week. Every book, every movie every fantasy.. in some alternate reality everything is happening all at once in every combination.
WHATEVER WE IMAGINE DOESNT EXIST
The more fantastic, the more likely it cant exist. Thinking up our wildest fantasy basically destroys any possibility of it coming true. This is why no matter what you plan, the outcome (or more specifically, the route in which you try to get there) changes. This is why nothing ever comes out 100% perfect. 99.9% perfect is all anyone will hope to achieve. And its usually enough. That last .1% we wont miss anyway.
WHATEVER WE DONT KNOW EXISTS
Its out there we just dont know what it is.
and of course..
IT’S ALL A LIE AND IN SOMEONE (THING?) ELSE’S HANDS
We are the fabrication of another entity. Its all predestined what we do and out of our hands. The idea of free choice is a myth. Everything we know and have thought up is minutia concocted by another being. Never mind the Matrix… none of us are even here… Although why someone would think up such boring mundane stuff is a mystery to me.
I always wondered what the big deal was with Swine Flu. Today I read that the 11th (12th?) Swine flu casualty… in Canada.
I know that it makes for great news when paranoid Americans get spoonfed overblown hype.
So I did a quick google and found this. And This.
When Swine Flu kills 10-20 people a day, maybe I’ll start worrying. Now someone tell those silly Chinese people that those hopsital masks wont help them much if a real threat ever emerged.
Less thasn a month from now, TV as we know it will be no more.
Ive decided to ditch cable (as I watch maybe 5 shows a week.. and can probably watch them on HULU at this point).
I did get a Digital converter box for emergencies.
I am NOT impressed.
After setting up and configuring the box.. I get a mere 4 channels. Poorly, I might add. Tweaking the antenna might get me another 1-3% better signal.. and maybe 3 different channels. Usually varations on local weather, PBS and NBC.
If a roach farts, I get the pixel-skippies.
Something tells me that this whole buy a converter box was pre-planned as a way to help jumpstart the economy. Lame.
MUAH.. I love you!
This gave me a big ol’ woody (hey! she gets a present after all 
).. A LEFT 4 DEAD 2 Preview
Thats 2 games on my list for the year. Bioshock 2 being the other) yay!
This morning running a bit late for work, I ran out the door, only to run back in and grab my ipod (yes, its working again, thank you).
I noticed my 360 was on. Odd. I thought I had turned it off 30 minutes earlier (I was looking for a message about a birthday and a beach trip.. go figure).
I promptly turn it off, nab my ipod and head back out.. I see out of the corner of my eye the controller blinking and it turns on AGAIN. So I turn off the 360 again and turn the power strip off.
Amused and not caring about being 5 minutes late for work at this point, I wait.. and wouldnt you know.. the controller starts blinking.
I took the battery out.
Mind you the controller was connected via charge& play cable but usually it charges with the machine off… so wtf? Bad connection? Loose spring? Another 360 in the condo? Bluetooth triggering it off? Ghosts from the Civil War want to play?
That is not a dress.. its just an oversized Tshirt. The only difference is your ‘dress’ doesnt have a goofy slogan or logo on it.
And before you call up images of a homosexual emo kid, I submit to you the following..
Why is it called a cantelope?
Cant elope? Why not? Its the fruits’ choice.
With todays language twisting someone should emphasize CAN in Cantelope.
Want some fruit?
Yes, we CAN-telope.
OK.. Ill stop.
Coming Soon at a Fat Free show near you!
My early birthday/wedding gift:
I love my new bebe..
Thank you, bebe!
A few bits of electrical tape instantly shielded and killed all the BUZZ and radio noise from the wah.
A bit of drilling for the LED, slap on the label and it is DONE..
Like so..
The Wah has a bigger range of WAH-ness and doesn’t lose tone or volume anymore. It does requires a lighter ‘touch’ for best effect which gets some getting used to. It blasts itself with a distortion pedal on in front of it in the chain, but is not noticable with the pedals reversed (the Jimi Hendrix method).
Overall, I’m very pleased with the end result. Hear it for yourself at the next Fat Free gig!
