OK, I'll admit it, I've had a slow "funny" week. Partially, because I had a rough weekend and so I just haven't felt funny this week. A GREAT weekend, mind you, but I guess it left me feeling a touch burned out.
Anywayyyyy...(yeah, its kind of been one of THOSE kinds of days...)....
Oh yeah, I got on to lunch time today. Yes, it finally rolled around.
See, I work from home most the time and so when lunch time rolled around, I walked out of my home office, walked down the hall to the Kitchen (capital K because, well, I LOVE a room dedicated to making, playing with and eating foods, not that I usually EVER eat in there but, you get my drift). No, really. The Kitchen, is a cool place. I can prove it. Rent Nine 1/2 Weeks, sometime. Check it out.
So, I make myself a Tuna fish sandwich (and I capitalize Tuna because, well, I try to be respectful of what I have to have killed just so that some day, I'm going to open that can and eat from its now molded shape of a slice of a tube of fish).
What? Oh, okay, OK....
So, I only eat half a can per sandwich and I store the rest for another day. Or till someone else eats it before I get to it, which happens far to often around here. Now, I'm going to store it, so I decide to use the plastic wrap.
You know plastic wrap, it was once called "Saranwrap", but not anymore because one day, we woke up and realized that was a brand name and we were giving them WAYyyyy too much credit. Just like "Fridge" for Frigidaire brand refrigerator (ever realize that their brand name literally says, frigid air?), or Kleenex for sinus leakage tissues (or have you considered that this brand name means, "clean x"; see, even THEY can't call sinus leakages, well, sinus leakages, so the just refer to it as, "x"; really kind of clever if you think about it).
OK, so here's my thought for the day.
I believe...that how you leave the plastic wrap situation, decides your position in Life, AND in after-Life.
No really. Why? Because. Anyone who puts the plastic wrap back with the plastic wrap itself, tucked back inside the deep dark recesses of Satan's box from Hell, with that damn thin, impossible to tear film, wrapped around the tube, so that it takes forever to detach it from that damn tube of impossible to extract aforementioned thin plastic film, made from petroleum I might add(!), yes, petroleum from HELL, then that person, never, is ever, never, never going to make anything of themselves in Life.
They are going to suffer through life, bad things happening at every turn. Suffering through the most miserable of things: thermometers breaking in their ears at 2am when they're sicker than a dog (sorry dog); or the old glass kinds that will break (snap) in their mouths, mercury running with deadly toxic succor down their throats; their favorite redneck trucks breaking down (continuously) on them (FORD: Found On Road Dead, Fix Or Repair Daily, etc., etc., et al, ad naseum, ad infinitum); friends, spouses or lovers will leave them (repeatedly), and for their best friends; every dog they will ever have will die from unnatural causes or aliens will steal them (or land UFOs on them); or their favorite cat will move out to the old lady down the street; and then finally, at the end of that long unendurable, miserable life, they will, most assuredly, go straight to Hell.
But really, I do love my kids.

Bride trafficking
I just watched "Bride Trafficking Unveiled" on CRNT (Current) channel from
Irish Journalist, Laura Barry. She decided to check into the whole mail order bride thing and found some scary situations.
What the hell?
I always was wary of the mail order bride industry. But for the wrong reasons it would seem. There are too many women moving across the world to end up with guys who are not what they seem.
We are all familiar with the whole paradigm on the internet of what you get is not what you see. But there are many women from cultures unfamiliar with the Internet, or ignorant of how it "really" works.
Some of these women said they liked Western men because they like to hold hands, play with the children, be honest, never go out on their wives or girlfriends, and more such nonsense. This says something about the Asian men they have available to them. And I've heard this from Asian women I know myself, who were born in Asia and moved here. And from women still living in those countries. Asian men, don't have a great rep., especially the ones living in Asia now, and I get the feeling they've earned it.
Mail order brides are typically portrayed as money grubbing, golddigging, in some cases even criminal types. There have also be cases of men being ripped off, in the past and present, and organizations run by the Russian Mafia or criminal organizations. But much of this industry has become legitimized. There are "legit" groups serving the public now. You can actually find a spouse.
Many of these women come from areas in the world that even living an unhappy life with any Western guy, is better than where she was, and if she can send money back to her family, should couldn't be happier. But face it, no one can live unhappy like that for long in a culture where others are living happier. But sooner or later, if you abuse someone, they're leaving. Except in the reported cases of women being murdered. This too happens.
Still, remember, you too have to sleep at night. The kitchen is right over there and the knives are sharp. If you notice she is sharpening the knives all the time, you might want to rethink how you are treating her.
It seems that the table has turned and now its the women who are mostly being abused. Some women do rip their new husbands off, and some do end up happily married. Same with normal marriages. But think about it. How many guys do you think are out there who are unattractive and have no marriage options. And for good reason. Probably a lot. Do you think they'd be attracted to a mail order bride situation? Hmm....Maybe?
Its not so much that the men have to be aware of the women they are dealing with, but that the women need to be aware of what they are getting into. Some of the agencies do background checks on their women, but they have no capacity or resources to do these important checks on the men.
Excuse me?
There is no question that there is a huge problem right there. SO, that's about all I have to say at this point.
Other than check out the documentary.
Its pretty enlightening.

Iranian nuclear scientist reappears on the world scene - Special edition
Shahram Amiri, an Iranian nuclear scientist who disappeared a year ago, is back in Iran, claiming to have been kidnapped by the CIA. Really, Amiri? Nice clothes, dude. Getting a degree in Arizona, I hear. The CIA claims he defected.
Where have I heard this story before? The Soviet Union. They used to send us "defectors" who were in reality, disinformation specialists. They were there to give us nice sounding secrets that were total fabrications by the then KGB. After the dissolution of the USSR, the KGB split into the Federal Security Service as well as the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation.
I think, maybe, someone in Iran, read a book on espionage, a the word so similar to the word, intrigue. All of which, originated in the Middle East thousands of years ago.
Possible? Oh, I think so.

God died?
I just realized something. God died? They've said, "God is Dead".
And, that singularity? The one everyone talks about? The "big bang!"
Was that was God. Could that have been a God dying?
When we look out into the stellar spaces, is what we see, the corpse of God?
When you turn pure energy, absolute spiritual energies, into another form, it is like taking water and removing the heat, till you have ice.
So, there was God, all pure energy, having a lark, running about creating this and creating that, then there He was, something pulling Him into Himself, Imploding, until He turned to Matter and exploded out into the Universes (you didn't think one God could be contained in ONE Universe, DID you?!).
Cooling him down after his explosion, perhaps He began to congeal, to pull back together. Perhaps there will be an eschatological ending where God happens again in the end, when He "comes back" as all that, all those, Universes, pull back, coming back together again, which would cause another "big bang" and viola': God!
So, when He returns, which explains His absence, what will He do?
What about Jesus(?) you say? That semi-professional, God Magician? Changing water to wine and feeding all those people and all that? Walking on waters, replacing a guy's ear here and there?
Well, He WAS good. But that doesn't necessarily make him God, no matter what He said, and certainly no matter what others said years, decades, millenia after He died.
So, what if one God, one Buddha, met another?
How would the Universe react? What would happen then?
Perhaps, they might have tea. Nothing more I assure you.
But its interesting to consider. Isn't it.

Don't ask Don't tell, really needs to go to Hell
As I write this, I'm watching Kathy Griffin's "Life on the D List". Love Kathy. She's brash, she's cute, she's funny, she's got a bangin' bod and she says what she thinks. Ya gotta love it. She has a big Gay following, Lesbians too, yes and etc., but I'll just use Gay for now, to cover both.
Stop watching The Hills finale for a minute and check this episode out. This may not be as fun a topic as the Mel Gibson tapes, but this is important. Maybe it doesn't affect you, but its affecting a lot of people out there that shouldn't be getting put through this. All this talk about Soldiers protecting our freedoms and being Heroes and all and we subject them to some serious crap on a daily basis.
On her episode tonight, "Kathy goes to Washington", she was invited to the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) to receive their Ally for Equality Award. Mostly for her work in trying to normalize Gays as people. Before the dinner and award ceremony she met with several active duty military about their experiences in the, "Don't Ask Don't Tell" (DADT) policy climate of the current military.
Their comments were extremely moving and what they have had to endure is beyond, way beyond, the pale. The thought that there are people IN the military who would make American citizens and military personnel feel bad for being who they are, really irritates me. And it should you too. It made me sick.
You really need to view that scene. Watch the hole episode. I always thought DADT wasn't a bad idea, till recently. I remember the military when I was in and the idea of trying to get along with gays, was unacceptable at that time in the late 70s. I thought this current policy a good one, for a time but now I think its beyond the time for it and it simply has to go. The military needed time to adjust. They've had it. Move on.
There are a lot of people in the military who are from environments and social lives that find non-hetero people not only unacceptable but they have been rasied that they cannot abide their even being alive. Okay. But then again, freakin' excuse me?!
OK, its way beyond the time now for those people to get a grip and let go of their inability to deal with, well, Reality (Capital "R", little REAL). Gays are here. They have Always been HERE. Deal with it. They are people. Deal with it. They deserve to be treated with respect. Deal with it. If your religion doesn't allow you to do those things, to treat other Humans with respect just because they live differently than you, but are still good people, then its your RELIGION needs to get a grip, to change, to have some of what "God" has to be wondering what the hell is going on down there? I create all that wonderful stuff, some things to challenge them, and they disrespect my Creations? Who do they think they are?
Law, is not religion. Law says, they are equal, but why are people fighting it tooth and nail? Tiny minds, I guess. But they will lose. We just need for them to lose...now. Or, quicker. Like NOW!
Let me say here and now, I mean, NOW, just to let it be known, I have no personal interests in any of this, just what is right to do; there is nothing that would make me want to say these things. I mean by that, I am not myself gay, nor bi. I have always been and always will be Straight. That's not the issue. The issue is that everyone in America should be having the right to pursue their happiness. IF they are serving in the military, fighting and dying for us, then dammit, they deserve equality and peace of mind just to be themselves.
I've said the same thing about voting, about drinking, about about sex as it relates to the military. If you can send someone to war to die, then they are adults. Or they shouldn't be getting sent off to war. Because that means, they are children. And we get all riled up about doing things to children right?
And rightfully so. Get it? So if they are gay and being sent off to possibly die, be maimed or be psychologically damaged, or just be sent to live in those difficult situations and environments, they deserve to be treated with equality for who they are. Openly, freely. I DO think, they should have decorum. They should NOT be able to act like any gay in any gay district, being openly flamboyant, or annoying, or push it in your face. After all, it IS the military? OK?
Does this mean if heroin addicts are sent off, they should be allowed be junkies, to live their lives as they wish? Of course not. But those kinds of arguments have nothing to do with gays. I think if they want to get married too, they should be able to, but that's another topic. I don't really care if they can marry in the military or not, at this time. One thing at a time. Maybe they should be able to, but I don't think we're quite ready for that yet.
I do think that the basics are necessary. So that if you are a man, OR a woman, you should be treated with open respect in that you are a man or woman. If you are a Catholic, or Muslim, or Jewish, White, Black, Asian, or whatever, you should not be treated badly, but equally and with respect. If you are hetero or homo, you should be treated no differently, but with respect and understanding.
If you treat any of those people poorly, you should be brought to accounting under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) and forced to stop abusing them. I think the laws are already there, they just need to add a word: sexuality (they already mention equality is to be given regardless of sex, race, or religion in apparent order of importance, if you ask me).
What those military personnel said to Kathy on her show, really were heart rending.
One of them said he was once with his friend, in the military, his friend said to him, "I think we should hang gay people out in front of the trees so they'd know they aren't welcome here." And he said he knew he just couldn't say anything. That it made him sick. If I were there, I would have said something, like, "Good God, dude, don't be such an icehole." They're people too and it sounds like you're the one with some emotional or psychological problems, or sexuality issues. I worked around plenty of those types in the service and I gave them crap whenever possible.
Gays are people too. Maybe you don't want them around, but they have the right as US citizens and military personnel, to have a happy life without small minded people harassing them for just being themselves." They're just people. People is people. Deal with it. Get over it. Crawl out of the dark ages. Try being a little progressive. Think, man, think! Have a brain.
Gays in the military should not be worried for their safety. This needs to be brought out in the open and dealt with. The military aren't pussies. They are always up for a fight. Except in things like this. Well, it come to Jesus time boys (and girls).
So say something when it comes up. Be a Hero.

"Bubba Nosferatu" - May be coming
It has been eight years since Don Coscarelli's Bubba Ho-Tep arrived on DVD, and since then we've been hearing about casting and false-starts for the film's sequel, Bubba Nosferatu: Curse of the She-Vampires.
Ron Perlman was mentioned as a possible replacement for Bruce Campbell as Elvis, while Paul Giamatti became attached as Colonel Tom Parker. Giamatti remains as enthusiastic about the project as ever, telling MTV News that Nosferatu will definitely get off the ground -- eventually.
"We've been trying to make that for two, three years, and we're going to get it done at some point," Giamatti told MTV's Adam Rosenberg about the status of "Nosferatu."
"I'm going to f---ing break my spine in half if I have to to get that thing done.We've been trying so hard and we've had so many near-misses," he continued.
"It's almost come together like 15 freaking times and then it falls apart. At some point we're going to get that done because it's a great script. We'll get it done at some point."
The main problem is getting investors behind the project.
"I think it's just the atmosphere of movies right now, smaller movies. Nobody has the balls to make a movie for under -- it's got to be a $40 million comedy or a $200 million 'Avatar,' and that's it," he said. "Those are the only things anybody wants to make right now. Nobody wants to do anything else. Everybody's terrified of doing anything else except that kind of thing. So that movie is deemed way too bizarre and outside the box right now. Which is stupid, because there's an audience for that movie, totally."

Jihad?
The other day I watching Fareed Zakaria, in London, interviewing one of the best known, one of the biggest voices there for jihad and attacks against the west, Anjem Choudary. He spoke in favor of the 9/11 attack in the US. He spoke up being for the 7/7 attack in London (what a jerk! OH, sorry, excuse my opinion encroaching on the text here).
This turned out to be a great showcase for Fareeds skills at handling a difficult subject (Anjem) in an interview situation. Anjem was overbearing, self-righteous and essentially deluded about his world view and his understanding of history and current affairs. Not unusual in this type of personality. Its amazing how well educated some people can be (some terrorists types that is) and yet, still be so unaware of reality, outside their own obsessions.
When questioned about the killing of women and children he side stepped it. When questioned about the killing of Muslims and Muslim women and children, he spoke of how this happened also during Mohammad's time and his battles. He said it was stated then that if you target the enemy (with catapults, etc.) and Muslims, women and children are killed, well, that's okay, after all (rationalizing) you didn't target them.
This man is one of the things that is wrong with the World perception of Islam today. And one of the things that has been wrong with it for decade upon decade but has been hidden or silent to most of the world, until the horrors they have perpetrated upon the world, came to be. Since then, people can see what they are all about.
No, not the Islamic world, the Muslim world; no not all Muslims, but those militant, death loving ones. Its a theme going through the Desert religions from that part of the world, to be death oriented, that was only a matter of time until it became incorrectly focused and made real. I've seen it in Jewish teachings, Catholic and therefore Christian teachings and Islam.
The more reasonable Islam population saying that this isn't really Islam, has little impact. Part of what a religion is, is what the world THINKS it is. Sad, but true. As one cleric said, these terrorists have hijacked our religion and we need to take it back. Exactly.
From what I can understand about Islam, it is a peaceful religion. So is Judaism, Catholicism and Christianity. But they have all gotten a little carried away from time to time. Perhaps Judaism would have the most to complain about being grouped in that category. But with recent events over the past decade or two in Israel, I'm not so sure.
It is with hose disaffected and mentally challenged leaders, the ones who do not go into battle, who do not blow themselves up, but put a younger, less stable, less world- oriented individual up to it.
"Go die for our God (or Mohammad, our untouchable Idol), for I cannot permit myself to go because then I won't be here to send other young people off to die while killing innocent people, whom we have decided are not innocent because of indirect rationalizations and because we cannot fight against the actual aggressors as we perceive them. Oh, well, kill them anyway."
There area a few sane, Islamic web sites out there:
Muslims against Terrorism
On the site, Muslims against Terrorism: "By God, he is not a true believer,
from whose mischief his neighbors do not feel secure." -- Prophet Mohammed (Bukhari, Muslim)
Also from there:
Memo to Osama bin Laden:
"I would rather live in America under Ashcroft and Bush at their worst, than in any “Islamic state” established by ignorant, intolerant and murderous punks like you and Mullah Omar at their best." -- A thought-provoking, controversial, pre-war article by Muqtedar Khan, Ph.D., February 12, 2003
What is needed here? What is to be done with people who profess war. Yes, that includes Western leaders and countries, don't think I don't think that. But these terrorists decry the West (but seldom the governments of their own kind).
When questioned about the US and allied forces liberating Kuwait from Iraq, Fareed's interviee's response was that no Muslims were being killed by Muslims. Okay, this isn't just misinformed or deluded, this is retarded. Yes, retarded. Maybe not a politically correct word because of a bunch of touchy feely scared to say or do the wrong things, types, but look up the word. Use appropriate verbiage.
Merriam-Webster defines it as such: "Sometimes offensive : slow or limited in intellectual or emotional development or academic progress."
Yes, its offensive, but I don't even mean it here as being offensive, just accurate. What is offensive, is consciously murdering innocent people in the name of religion. How in any form of thought is that acceptable?
"Islam is not the source of terrorism, but its solution", says author Harun Yahya.
"It is time that we Muslims acknowledge that the freedoms we enjoy in the US are more desirable to us than superficial solidarity with the Muslim World. If you disagree, then prove it by packing your bags and going to whichever Muslim country you identify with." -- Dr. M. A. Muqtedar Khan
Ed Bradley: "Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it the responsibility... Does not Islam, does not Allah require that Muslims police their own religion and rid themselves of extremists?"
Hamza Yusuf: "Yes, absolutely. It's an obligation for Muslims to root them out. And I think it is a jihad now for the Muslims in the Muslim country to rid themselves of this element." -- CBS's 60 Minutes, September 30, 2001
"Who has the greatest duty to stop violence committed by Muslims against innocent non-Muslims in the name of Islam? The answer, obviously, is Muslims." -- Ingrid Mattson, Vice President, Islamic Society of North America
So in wrapping up, Anjem Choudary and his other deluded cultists, followers, friends, cohorts, murderers, criminals, religious bastardizers and enjoyers of religious mass murders, do you get it yet? Do you?
The Jihad, is against you. Your own people say so.
It is you and your kind sir, it is you, need to be put down.
This turned out to be a great showcase for Fareeds skills at handling a difficult subject (Anjem) in an interview situation. Anjem was overbearing, self-righteous and essentially deluded about his world view and his understanding of history and current affairs. Not unusual in this type of personality. Its amazing how well educated some people can be (some terrorists types that is) and yet, still be so unaware of reality, outside their own obsessions.
When questioned about the killing of women and children he side stepped it. When questioned about the killing of Muslims and Muslim women and children, he spoke of how this happened also during Mohammad's time and his battles. He said it was stated then that if you target the enemy (with catapults, etc.) and Muslims, women and children are killed, well, that's okay, after all (rationalizing) you didn't target them.
This man is one of the things that is wrong with the World perception of Islam today. And one of the things that has been wrong with it for decade upon decade but has been hidden or silent to most of the world, until the horrors they have perpetrated upon the world, came to be. Since then, people can see what they are all about.
No, not the Islamic world, the Muslim world; no not all Muslims, but those militant, death loving ones. Its a theme going through the Desert religions from that part of the world, to be death oriented, that was only a matter of time until it became incorrectly focused and made real. I've seen it in Jewish teachings, Catholic and therefore Christian teachings and Islam.
The more reasonable Islam population saying that this isn't really Islam, has little impact. Part of what a religion is, is what the world THINKS it is. Sad, but true. As one cleric said, these terrorists have hijacked our religion and we need to take it back. Exactly.
From what I can understand about Islam, it is a peaceful religion. So is Judaism, Catholicism and Christianity. But they have all gotten a little carried away from time to time. Perhaps Judaism would have the most to complain about being grouped in that category. But with recent events over the past decade or two in Israel, I'm not so sure.
