Heading out to Los Angeles to see a kick ass dentist and if pain and time permit I will head south from Glendale into Hawthorne to visit Century Media Distro to pick up a will call order.

If You Think The War On Terror Is Not Real Or Over Watch This Video

Funker530 posted this off Liveleak, CCTV from a military hospital in Yemen last week when terrorists drove a car bomb in the front gate followed by the car full of gunmen. What you see in the video is the attack that killed not only innocent civilians receiving aid but the medical staff treating them. As with most Liveleak vids it is graphic, you see a doctor or nurse get her head blown apart at close range and another get gunned down not but a few feet away. The most sickening part if any one component can receive this tag is when you see innocent people huddled and scared and then a terrorist walks up and tosses a hand grenade to them. You will also see someone trying to crawl to safety only to be executed. If this is ok with you simply because it doesn't happen here think about this, the mall attack in Kenya was a test run for a mission abroad, like here where we have all these malls sitting out in the open, and recently it has been discussed that all the attackers got away. If that is in fact the case those 4 guys have a lot of experience causing significant damage and loss of life. Each on of those guys with 3 or 4 under him would be very dangerous...

What I Saw Yesterday

I had to pay a speeding ticket yesterday and while in line a lady comes out and gives a speech about how the budget cuts have caused them to have only 2 windows out of 7 open to handle the business and the wait would be around 3 hours. After confirming I could pay my ticket online up to 3 days late I left fast like to go downtown to pay my property taxes. When I arrived to the floor and the office with all the windows to pay I was, as usual the only person there, no line, with 4 open windows and 4 live humans just sitting there. They all greeted me at the same time and I was free to choose the window I wanted. 4 people doing very little with no line, and I had just come from a projected 3 hour wait caused by "budget" cuts. California politics are a joke.
I also saw a high speed chase on the freeway too...

Time To Strike Is Now

I went truck hunting yesterday, found a 210 Ford F150 with 16k miles and I will ask about a cash price today, really nice and very clean, I should be driving something home later, hopefully that will be the one.

Why We Pay More For Gas In California, Yes It Is A Democratic Party Problem

Here is a link to an Op-Ed piece from Exxon-Mobil about why California pays more for fuel than other states, .80 cents more on the average. Now of course some will balk at reading something written by an employee of a Oil company, but just to get the full effect read the comments at the end to see how Californians feel about it and liberals who got us to this point in the first place, not all Californians drank the Kool Aid...

Ben Affleck Has A Hard Time - Cocaine Anyone?

Ben Affleck stated recently that knowing if a fellow actor is a Republican makes it difficult to watch a movie, work with them and get sleep in general. He is a Democrat.
A Democrat once assassinated a sitting President and Democrats started our Civil War. Fuck you Ben Affleck and your Democratic party, and shove your Hollywood club of coke heads up your nose.

I Still Cannot Get This Right! - Blender 2.5 Tutorial - How to make a Tank Track!

What World Is In Your Mind?

 This is a space station and 4 different ships I designed in Blender, ever since I was a kid I was fascinated with Sci-Fi and spaceflight in general, so it is natural I gravitated to making this kind of stuff once the basic operation of Blender became normal activity.
My models are going to be used in a animation I am working on, mostly in background shots, but it is a start. I am slowly getting to the level that I can build better models and it is more fun to build than hunt them.

 

Products Of Boredom...

 I was stuck here waiting for a ride yesterday and was looking at some wicked effects boxes and synths an old friend is making so I did what any pop culture toy fiend would do. Here is an almost 1.5 inch tall (or long if laying in the business position) noise/effects box.
The SB Replica doesn't do much but sit there and look cool, I was thinking of an amp next maybe but I have other stuff to finish too. We will see...

Never Forget - The Greatest Generation And This Date

For the Greatest Generation this date started it all, but now those numbers are getting smaller with each day that passes. If you know someone who served in WW2, a family member, friend or that unknown person you may meet, hug them, shake their hands, but thank them for the job they did and the commitment to serving our country when we as a Nation needed it the most, we won't have the Greatest Generation with us forever, let's show these people who earned that title the country appreciates whom they are.

 

When You Are A MotoGP Champion This Is How You Live - Jorge Lorenzo's Monster Vacation Home

I touched the Sebring yesterday.

Unicorn Blood And Little Dogs

I had quite a day communicating with a friend whom I have a deep respect for, a guy who was ahead of his time in the digital era, and I was able to get out of my house and visit with some friends and touch one of my project bikes. I was also a passenger in the backseat of a car today and saw 5 or 6 small dogs standing next to a busy street in a driveway, and it pretty much deflated my happy balloon knowing these little guys don't have much of a chance living like that, and it pisses me off that a human put them into that position in the first place. I am one of those people who normally stops to help out in that situation and have been petty good over the years of helping when I can. Being stuck in the backseat when you need it the most is a helpless feeling.
The day is coming to an end here and the nights are getting colder, we have been in the 30's and I need to start warming up my bedroom.
 

Martin Bashir Quits MSNBC, Butt Check This Out

Marty Bashir the rancid transient that made ca$h working for MSNBC talking trash about hard working Americans has quit because of his problems controlling the shit that falls out of his mouth. Now it had been disclosed that ABC had quietly suspended him once for remarks about women in the past. Below is what good old Marty told a crowd gathered for the Asian American Journalists Conference in 2008 with his then 20/20 co-host Juju Chang and the way she was dressed;

 "I’m happy to be in the midst of so many Asian babes.” And, he added, “I’m happy that the podium covers me from the waist down.” He said a speech should be “like a dress on a beautiful woman — long enough to cover the important parts and short enough to keep your interest — like my colleague Juju’s.”


Liberals are an interesting breed of foul mouthed cretins but Marty is in a league of his own, fingers crossed he on his way to Mexico...
 

10 More Days...

In 10 days I will have a new vehicle, and in 10 days I won't have to ask for rides anymore, in 10 days I can tell a few select people to fuck off.

China Gets A Taste Of Islamic Diplomacy And Hezbollah Loses 1 More

Uyghurs in China have carried out an attempted car bombing in Tiananmen Square of all places, the same place where Chinese Army tanks rolled over un-armed students as they slept in tents years a go, only less people died in the terrorist attack.
In Lebanon a Hezbollah high ranking commander was assassinated and Hezbollah blamed Israel, this occurred after the grand poobah of Hezbollah blamed Saudi Arabia of bomb attacks last month.
Islam, it's how they do business that gets them all the press...
