A few brilliantly strung together words on hope, to bring in the new year.
Merry Christmas Everyone!!!
My gift to you? The gift of laughter. My eyes were watering I laughed so hard at this. Please, someone tell me it's not just me. I want some apple juice.

El Ten Eleven @ Bar Pink
Sickest band I've never heard of before seeing live. Two dudes. One playing fast and hard pounding drums with half electronic pads and half real drums and a real snare. The other playing a double neck guitar and bass, with multiple delay pedals to repeat riffs, a harmonizer to play multiple harmonies, a tremolo peddle, and a bunch of other cool effects to fill out the most sound I've heard from one musician at once. Drummer even used his drumsticks on the bass, while the other dude fretted the notes with his left hand, and played open chords on the guitar with his right hand to make a cool sounding riff. Really sick band. Check them out if you ever get a chance.
Here's their encore songs that are a little quieter. The rest of their set was loud and fast, which sent the iPhone into paralysis. The audio gets kind of muted halfway through these too, but it's better than nothing.

The Milgram Experiment
In 1961, Stanley Milgram conducted an experiment to find out how far people would go in doing things they knew were wrong, and how much they needed to be pushed to do so.
Milgram took volunteers and told them they were attempting to find out if a series of shocks to another volunteer would influence their answers when asking them general questions. Every time the subject would answer a question wrong, he would receive an electric shock that increased after every wrong answer, ultimately approaching dangerous levels.
What the volunteer in charge of administering the shocks didn't know, was the shock machine was a prop, and the subject was an actor. The real test subject was him, and they were testing man's inherent level of obedience.
Here's a link to a short doc, and actual footage of the experiment.

View an hour and a half after work......
walked back, smoked a cigarette, and debated whether it would be
better to pour the gas in the car or over my head buddhist monk style.
My view from work 30 minutes after getting off
one can figure out, that won't let it start when it gets near empty.
Karma Police!
Tough guys get into a fight on the street. As they walk away bragging, they decide to fuck with some cross dressers walking the other way, and learn two life lessons.
1. Watch who you fuck with.
2. Welsh cagefighters like to crossdress too.

Winnebago Man
Someone actually tracked this guy down recently, and made a documentary about him. Apparently he was living as a hermit up in a cabin somewhere in California, with a lot of anger issues. Is there any way that could suck?
Headed down to NP for the night.
With Greg to avoid the following.

If you're 42, and still make good music and skate, you've done alright for yourself.
J and Lou rock the Belly Up!!
Dinosaur Jr opening their set with, "Thumb." Halfway through the song everyone in the audience went deaf, and so will you if you watch this video.
Apologies for the shitty audio/video in all the clips.
Lou Barlow's (Sebadoh, Dinosaur Jr.) new solo project, supported by The Missingmen.
Lawn Bowling 09'
A brief glimpse into the toughest sport in the world. Physically demanding. Mentally taxing. Sexually frustrating. Cirrhosis inducing. Sexual preference challenging.
Only after 10 years apprenticeship, consisting of hourly beer runs, constant chastising, and regular beatings, can you even ask to join this league. If you are deemed unworthy, and your application is denied, every member of your family, and everyone you've ever held a conversation with is beaten within an inch of their lives, and you start another 10 year apprenticeship. By force if necessary.
A small price to pay for a chance at calling yourself a true Lawn Bowler, and living the kind of lavish, elitist lifestyle that multi billionaires only dream of.
