How to stop the African AIDS pandemic
So, same old same old, while working away at the job, thinking of Nuclear Physics and all the usual stuff, an epiphany came to me, on how to stop the spread of AIDS in Africa. A simple solution, and unlike the ‘How to save the world’ post, this solution would probably be cheaper and easier than the current methods being used.
So here it is: We send all the dirty magazines that remain unsold at the end of each month to Africa. Simple no? And as much as I’d “Love” to explain to you how this whole plan works in detail…I think I’ll let the pictures do most of the talking for me.
Step #1
Step #2
Voila!
You don’t see any AIDS problems as big as Africa’s around North America do you? I’m betting it’s because of all the dirty magazines and easy access to the internet.
You think it’ll work? Leave a message and let me know.

How to save the world
It’s something I’ve been thinking for a little while now, and I finally figured that something as big as the saving of the world, should be shared with as many people as possible. The answer is really quite simple, and as expected, it’s execution is a bit more difficult:
We need a new Clint Eastwood
A man who looks like he’s always pissed off, and more than ready to kick your ass if you scare his donkey
How long has it been since a good western movie has come out? Western movies are one of the two kinds of movies that’ll make a kid start shaving at the tender age of thirteen (the other being old James Bond movies…yes, they do have to be the old ones), the kind of movie that’ll make a kid growing up realize that there’s nothing more badass than being a lawman.
So as I mentioned, the answer is simple, but difficult to put in motion. It can’t be easy finding someone to try and match up to THE western badass of all time.
So I’ll put out my advisory now:
If you’ve ever been hung, but set free before you could die, just to get right back up and kick the asses of whoever hung you, and now wear a scarf around your neck to hide the scar: THE WORLD NEEDS YOU!!
Clint Eastwood kicks ass

Awesome, if you havn’t seen it yet, you havn’t lived…that is all.

Mona Lisa’s smile: Revealed!
Ok, are you ready for this? Because~….Who gives a shit!?
You know why she’s probably smiling on that picture? It’s most likely the same reason you’re smiling in pictures that are set up (i.e. not at random, unexpected times), Leonardo either said “Say cheese!” or “Ok, now sit still and smile so I can paint a picture of you”.
Christ, it’s a picture! People smile in pictures! That’s what they do! I keep hearing that “Mona Lisa’s smile has been baffling scholars for decades now”, and I keep thinking “Man…we’ve got some seriously retarded scholars”
So now everybody memorize this “Mona Lisa smiled in her picture…almost everyone smiles in their pictures…therefore there’s no reason do give a flying damn about her smile”
What a waste of time and effort…useless…
Stupid:
Indie is suck (to the power of suck)
Indie:
1 A shortened version of the word ‘independent’. See Dictionary.
2 A genre of music.
3 A term sometimes used to indicate that an musician is not signed to any record label.
4 A sub-culture
Now, for the explaination and reviews of each of the 4 terms.
1 Self Explanitory (See Dictionary). Other than that, using the word ‘Indie’ as an abbreviation is stupid, because it’s likely to get confused with either terms 2 or 4.
2 Annoying. This style of music is typified by it’s ability to sound catchy for a few minutes, like say, the duration of 1 song. As this style of music is heard more, the catchiness very quickly loses it’s appeal, say about, half way through the 2nd song you listen to. The instrumental part is most often very basic, uncomplicated, and sounds ‘immature’ in the sense that the musican hasn’t developed his skills, or knowledge of different sounds or even what sounds good or not, in terms of the most basic things, like a guitar chord that’s off key.
The singers are often people you’d never expect to be singers because, well, they don’t sound like singers. The singing can barely be called singing, it’s usually 90% talking 10% singing, so basically if you can talk to someone, and pretend sing the conversation to them, you qualify to be a singer in an Indie band.
3 Stupid. Some people will use this because they’re too lazy to say that they’re Indenendent. Likely to get confused with either term 2 or 4, thus making it a nuisance.
The main reason this term is stupid though, is because it’s utterly pointless, people who care whether or not a musician is signed to a record label or not are tools. You’re supposed to buy music on the basis of whether you think it’s good or not, to do anything otherwise makes you a tool, and possibly a poser. If you think an artist is good, and they’re not signed to a label, buy their album…If you think an artist is good, and they’re signed to a label, guess what? do the exact same thing!
Buying an album from an “Indie” artist for the only reason being they’re not signed to a label, is worse than being a mindless trend follower. Mindless trend followers just listen to whatever comes by, and accepts it, whereas an “Indie” fans go out of their way to find musicians that aren’t signed rather than…I don’t know…say… LISTENING TO THE MUSIC!
4 People who form the culture that I’ve previously mentioned in the sections where I trailed off and didn’t actually leave anything to write in this section, where the much of the rants (mostly in #3) actually belong.
For those of you who are more ‘visual learners’, I pulled this out for you:

Review: The Open Door
Nightwish’s little sister make a new album.
Band: Evanescence
Title: The Open Door (2006)
Relatively new, but that’s not the point. I was curious about this new album, because although I’ve used Evanescence in my explanations of what Nightwish is like, I’ve never boughted an album of theirs. And thus, my curiosity finally surpassed my frugality, and I bought it. I was reluctant at first, especially because my brother advised me against it, telling me it’s [anticlimactic], but, here I am, reviewing it now.
My previous assertion still stands, and I consider Evanescence to be the “little sister” of Nightwish. The styles are pretty similar, like different sides of the same coin. Both bands use orchestras and choirs to some effect in their songs, but I’d say Nightwish does it moreso, while Evanescence sticks a bit closer to the regular style of Metal.
Melodic female singer, good metal, a dash of Epic, in the end it’s a good CD, I can’t say it’ll ever beat out Nightwish, but still, within acceptable limits. There are some parts in the CD where some quiter instrumentals or singing are going on, slowing the pace down, but it happens a bit too often for me, and I find myself wanting them to just move along and get to the distortion already.
Despite afformentioned complaints, I did enjoy listening to this album. Songs to check out: Sweet Sacrifice, Call Me When You’re Sober, Weight of The World. (Not coincidentaly, the 3 heaviest songs on the album)

Review: Versus
Badass. Ok, now describe this movie in 1 word, oh? too late.
Title: Versus
Genre: Action + Comedy
Origins: Japan
I can honestly say that the only reason I bought this movie was because the cover was so badass, there’s just no getting around it, I can’t think of any cover nearly as badass as this one (hold on to your panties, I’ll show you in a bit). And I certainly wasn’t mislead or dissapointed after having watched it.
This movie is kind of hard to describe, even the description on the back isn’t very accurate. It’s about a re-occuring battle between good and evil, with lots of swords, guns, martial arts and demonic powers. Now I don’t want to give anything away, but let’s just say, if you watch this movie with your eyes open (excluding blinking), you just might see someone rip out someone else’s still beating heart, and show it to them…before taking a chomp out of it at least.
There’s also plenty of comedy in this movie, hilarious characters and events, and sometimes it’s…well…just plain cheesy. All the characters have a clearly distinct personallity, all so unique, which they all do perfectly, there are no random people who are generic an un-noticable (except maybe one guy who’s around for about 5 seconds). They’re all so interesting that you won’t get bored of any of them.
If you havn’t guessed by now, Versus is a gory, excellent movie, and totally deserving of it’s rating.

Stop bitching about the weather!
Ok…there’s a “big storm” hitting Alberta now, and everyone is freaking out because there’s going to be snow, wind, and it’ll be cold. …Cold…Snow…Wind…ok… now that’s we’ve established enough evidence to support the claim that we are indeed in Northern Alberta, now what?
All I’ve heard this whole day was bitching about the weather, in fact the only reason I was late for work today was because my familly was busy bitching about the weather to me.
Just Shut Up! If you havn’t figured out the whole summer/winter thing that happens around here by now, I think I should be legally entitled to…nay! obligated to launch a missile through your chest. -18 isn’t that cold anyways, and the wind isn’t anything special either.
Besides, what the hell does it matter how cold or windy it is anyways, the only time I’m outside is to the truck or from the truck, or snowboarding, but that’s a different matter.
I am The Justice, not you
I just thought I’d show off what one of my awesome fans gave me, thanks a bunch Job.
I’ll now be accepting present from all others who realize my greatness, bring it on, and compete for my acceptance!
