Brian Jungen

No complaints today. The sky is blue, the weather nice, the society blinded...scratch that last one. I haven't provided a link the last couple posts, so this time I would like to share a unique artist (as if unique and artist are two different things) who uses Michael Jordan shoes to design some crazy stuff. Take a look at the Brian Jungen gallery. p.s. Thanks Pegs.

Also a comment by a very wise individual...."Why are we so happy when we kill the time we are trying so very hard to save?"

Impossible Jump

I am not against marketing by any means, I feel it serves a purpose to draw attention on so forth, but I also feel it can go to far and create a lie. And I hate lies. Lies mislead, and lies lead to general stupidity when followed. So when a kid sees Mike Metzger (dirt bike jumper/kid who has kids) attempt the "Impossible Jump," a kid has obvisously witnessed a miracle. Because after all if it were an "impossible Jump" nobody could jump it....let alone make it over the FIRST FRICKIN' TIME. Call it the "Difficult Jump", or the "Owner of Ceasar's Palace gets even richer Jump" or the "Tell kids that impossible is often accomplished after just one try Jump." Basically what it comes down to is that people have no respect for words, and if you don't respect words, then why even use them....everything serves as a purpose....except for Mike Metzger who should try jumping from San Diego, CA and land in Tokyo, Japan, because that is my definition of an "Impossible Jump."

Get Your Own Towel

Life never stops revealing to me the idiocy of its inhabitants. All to my enlightenment of unaltered reason. Are you ready...here it comes...my gripe of the week...."GET YOUR OWN DAMN TOWEL!!!" My sister use to pull this crap on me, and I thought it was just her, but after living a few years, and an instance just the other day on TV, It occured to me. Why do people, after spilling a drink or substance, or anything that needs to be wiped up with a towel, always tell the person that had nothing to do with it being knocked over to get THEM a towel. Is it necessary to have one person stand there all shocked, starring it into the carpet even more? Is this person afraid that if THEY move, the drink will become even more embedded? I'm going to ask a scientist that whenever I know a scientist...."Um Doc???....What are the physics behind a spill and the conditioned response of shouting "GET ME A TOWEL!"

Extraterestrial

For the good of the universe and even more importantly earth, I hope we do not discover other life forms in the universe for a long time. I think that if there is intelligent life outside our galaxy we would be in a bigger mess than we are in now...then again there is nothing like a common enemy to bring people together. Just think about it...we can't even control ourselves from fighting and making continous threats about destroying each other for our own "defense." If we found another life form, there is no way we would be accepting of it. It's taken us over 2000 years to even think perhaps all men are equal, and we are still struggling with that. Not to mention the fat cat capitalists that are developing ideas to import resources from another planet. I know...that is getting ahead of myself, but I hope you see my point.
