Full Circle

I don't know why but I've been in a weird mood lately, it could be all of the talk of shooting and murder by some Asian dude that looks like half of the guys I bullied in grade school or it just might be that the chicken I ate earlier that just isn't sitting right . . .

Hammer Time (WTF?)



Who knows . . . But I will say that a lot of stuff that I'm reading on the Internet seems to be pretty contemplative and a lot better than usual . . . It's as if collectively, the everyone in the blogosphere seems to be stepping up their game.

Here is one example - Dallas Penn has published what I consider to be the best post by any blogger I've seen in months, the title alone is worth mentioning along with the fact that while the media is obsessed with one massacre there are so many more going on all over the world.

Check it:

BLACK YOUTH ARE DRESSED TO KILL…

And the following video clip comes way out of left field but I can't get it out of my head so I might as well share it with you folks. Recently, on College Humor I came across a hilarious video that's just a little bit bittersweet in my opinion.

You might have already seen it but the clip features a group of soldiers searching cars in what appears to be Iraq. The group must have been bored out of their mind because the soldier featured in the clip pulls over a car and does a DEAD ON Harry Caray impersonation and barely breaks character at all . . . Truly, the guy is talented and I guess the reason I find the clip fascinating is that for as much as people rant against U.S. involvement in Iraq or cultural and military oppression world wide . . . In the end, the will of mega corporations, the Illuminati, The Bush Administration, the Tall Israelis or the cult of Oprah is carried out by ordinary citizens that are on the streets of every city in the world. So either we're all innocent or we're all to blame for all the planet's suffering. I can't say which one yet . . . It depends on my mood. Anyway, if at some level we're all forced to be tools (hehe) for the hegemony or Wal-Mart or whatever there's no point in not having a good time . . . And the following video features guys just like the ones you might have known in college making the best of a quagmire that nobody will be able to explain 100 years from now.



For a point of reference . . . Here's Will Farrell doing the same bit a few years prior and asking a far more philosophically relevant question than I could ever devise.
