Top 5 Person's coming back as a bug

  • Terrorists
    I think you suck...call yourselves what you want but I think you suck. If you were freedom fighters A.k.A George Washington, you wouldn't target civilians. Didn't Ghandi prove power through preaceful protest?
  • The G.O.P.
    Get an idea, a plan of your own, and stop bitching.
  • Bobby Jindal
    Gov. You sounded like you were reading to fourth graders. I realize it was your first major speech but the same tired old speech about government being bad, and Republicians are good didn't help your cause.
  • Glen Beck
    Do I really need a reason to think this asshole is an asshole? He believes what he believes and I can't fault him for that except that he is a jerk.
  • William Bolthouse
    William Bolthouse has just donated $100,000 dollars to the ballot initiative to amend California's constitution to ban same-sex marriage. He owns 43% of Bolthouse Farms, a company famous for its juice. A couple of blogs have mentioned this before, but, really, it's just par for the course for Bolthouse juice. Since 2000, much of that money from the juice has gone to fund fundamentalist, homophobic, and right wing operations. ***This is off an e-mail that was sent to me and I thought it was important enought to post it. Although I did not write it, I share the same anger about people that choose to be bigots or homophobic jerks. Stop trying to tell everyone else how they should live there lives, worry about your own karma.

Now Playing on my IPOD

  • Rufus Wainwright: Want One
    Just amazing...even in concert. (*****)
  • Coldplay -

    Coldplay: Viva La Vida
    As all my friends know I am the original Coldplay fan. Having seen the band four times live they rank up in my top five. But as it happens with kids when they turn into teenagers...you kind of wish they would have just stayed the way they were. There are some classic Coldplay type songs but I am a little scared they are going to follow the same road that Radiohead went down. (****)

  • Glen Hansard - Falling Slowly

    Falling Slowly
    Glen Hansard: Once
    Every once in a while you see a movie where the soundtrack completely overcomes the movie. I.E. Last of the Mohicans, Sleepless in Seattle, Singles. This is one of those times where the music is the star of the movie and it will touch your heart in a deep way. (*****)

Books without Pictures

  • Ron Currie Jr: God is Dead
    Dark, funny, and wonderfully written. You take a leap on page one and love the feeling in your stomach as you fall. The most fun I have had reading in a while. (*****)
  • Andy Wibbels: Blog Wild!
    For anybody that wants to start a blog but is like me rather clueless on how, this is a great step by step book. Read this book and within an hour you have have your own blog. (****)
  • George R.R. Martin: A Game of Thrones
    Knights, wars, political intrigue, heroes, and cowards. This series of books has it all, transforming you to another time where winter is coming...and winter can last a lifetime. (*****)
  • Herman Wolk: Youngblood Hawke
    This is my favorite book ever! All about a young man and his rise in New York as a writer in the late 40's. I read this book for the first time as a teenager, and more then any other book, this one shaped me into who I am. Read it and find out. (*****)

Movies with good Karma

  • West Wing Season Two
    The greatest Televison show ever...shows both sides of all the major issues. Even if your on the left it will open your eyes to other points of view. Maybe it will change your mind, maybe it won't, but you will be better informed regardless.
  • Remains of the Day
    If anybody needs a reminder of carpe diem (seize the day) then watch this wonderful movie about an emotionally stunted man, and his struggles with emotional need vs. his fear and upbringing. It is by far Anthony Hopkins best work, based upon the book by Kazuo Ishiguro.
  • The 11th Hour
    A well thought out documentary that isn't over the top and doesn't hit you in the head with a hammer. it shows you the issues with global warming and then shows you some of the ways we can fix this issue. A must see for anybody that cares about their own future.
