Enjoy Your Weekend

If I don't post anything tomorrow, enjoy your final weekend before Christmas of 2010.

Killer Crib

As a digital artist there are several things I have come to really enjoy in life. Good clean architecture, inspired design, and designer toys. So when I came across Pharrells $14 million dollar Miami home I felt like someone had plucked the idea right out of my head.

The house.....who am I kidding, mansion could have easily just became another modern simplified snoozer which surrounds it's inhabitants in harsh white walls that would likely begin to raise the blood pressure and make one feel as if they are sitting in a mental institution. But Pharrell accents the ultra modern with the classic while innovatively splashing in an awesome collection of works by Kaws and some other street art/pop culture creatives.

If this kat had the batmobile from the 1989 Burton flick sitting in his garage then Pharrell would be my all time hero. Or at least a real life comparison to my fantasy existence.

Playboy Does Tron (NSFW)

With all of the leather and rubber outfits and the heavily German/Swedish inspired design aesthetic seen in the trailer for Tron: Legacy I knew it would only be a matter of time before someone sexed it up. Surprisingly though it was old man Hefner. Kinda forgot that brother was still alive.

So again, this isn't porn but it's very much NSFW (Not Safe For Work.....for all the noobs out there.)

Epic New Trailer For Paul

Gov.0 2010-2010

Some of you may be aware of this little project that I began at the end of November called Gov.0. Personally, I thought Gov.0 was a brilliant idea. Show how modern day politics is coping with the new Digital Age which we are moving further into. Unfortunately though Gov.0 was unable to gain the type of attention I would have wanted in order for it to be worth my time.

In it's short time on the net Gov.0 averaged 10 hits a week. I spent roughly 8 hours a day searching for stories, researching stories, and posting articles on the site. Not even the Gov.0 Facebook page was able to pick up more then 30 people.

So with no true finances to be able to advertise the site properly I have decided to pull the plug on my short lived project. I still feel it is a great idea which could find it's way one day to go toe to toe with Gizmodo and Engadget and other blogs but now is not the time for a full time online job which pays me volunteer wages.

RIP Gov.0 (November 29th, 2010 - December 17th, 2010)

Sackless Spineless Twats

I obviously have very strong sentiments about the GOP being that I have largely been in opposition to them my whole political life. (P.S. I still hate George Bush.) Never-the-less I have many dear friends with a conservative lean and I know that, though I may not agree on a lot of their politics, I see that they believe many of these things because they honestly feel it is what is best for the country.

So it baffles me when Republicans in Congress continue to block a measure that would help supply health care benefits to September 11th first responders. 911 FIRST RESPONDERS!!!!! I mean, am I taking crazy pills?!?

How the HELL can anyone justify BLOCKING a measure that would help the very people who rushed in AS HEROES into the flaming wreckage and the aftermath misery of the 911 terror attacks? They say it's a blanket rejection. They say they won't pass anything until the Bush Tax Cuts are extended. THIS ISN'T A FUCKIN GAME!!! The very people who Republicans used as poster children to spread their Orwellian national security policies, the very people who Republicans used to justify invasion, the very people who George "I'm gonna fuck ya" Bush splattered all over our television screens during the 2004 Presidential election are the very people who now that the GOP can't misuse so they are going to toss them to the curb!!!

This is how we treat our heroes in America? This is how we treat those who sprang into action while our government was sitting on their hands? This is how we treat those who risked EVERYTHING while the parties whipped out their political score cards to see what kind of political damage control they were going to need to do?

It makes me so angry that I don't have a word for it. Fucktardedsauce! That's what this is. Fucktardedsauce. Doesn't make sense? Well neither does blocking a bill for 911 First Responders!

CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES!!! If ever there was a time to call your representatives it is now. In fact, I'll go so far as to say that if you don't call your representatives on this issue you are a lazy piece of shit. That's all there is too it. Go to http://www.contactingthecongress.org/ and type in your zip code, put in your state, get the phone number, and tell those swines on the hill that if 2010 ends with no relief for 911 First Responders then we will clean house.

Remember the days when you could pull over to the side of the road to help a fellow citizen? The days when a guy who used CPR on someone who was choking didn't have to worry about a lawsuit afterwords? Well allowing our heroes to suffer creates a world where Americans are too afraid to be good people. Imagine a world where no one ran into those buildings. Thank god we don't live in that world. So let's take care of our heroes.

A Great Place To Waste Your Time

Welcome to my personal blog!

The purpose of this blog is just as a personal forum for my interests ie politics, movies, comic books, pop culture, and especially art and design. It isn't meant to be a place that a lot of people visit and it doesn't matter if anyone visits. It's more of an online journal that doesn't get too personal.

Originally I had been using Facebook for my rants. And, even though my midnight debates were fun, the new Facebook layout puts character restrictions on posts so I decided to move my banter to here.

So if this is anything that strikes your fancy please feel free to follow me, comment on my posts, or what have you.

P.S. If you didn't realize, however, that the web address is a quote said by Obi Wan Kenobi in Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope then "This is not the blog you are looking for."
