My take on Aliens

I was talking with a friend a few months ago and I had an interesting thought about the Aliens called the Grey and how Aliens tend to be "Humanoid." It's arrogant to belive that aliens would be in any way humanoid (2 amrs, 2 legs, and a head.) There's no real advantage to the form over others but I realized there is one possibility that makes perfect sense. The Grey's are not aliens at all, they're evolved humans. Imagaine a day in 10 million years humans have evolved to the point that time and space travel are common place. What would Humans look like that far in the future?

And a high school history field trip to early humanity accidentally crashes in Roswell New Mexico...

I think that Hypothesis is far more likely than the Grey being of alien origin should they actually exist.

D&D PSA's

These are oldies but goodies. Freaking hilarious.

This one is the classic with the Hex Blade Athene who got cursed and turned into a chick and is now Athena then there is Tordek on dwarven culture! Classic stuff.



This one... Invisible freaking Christopher Walken!

Finally got around to watching the TV series Jericho

My Buddy Jason tried to get me to watch it a while back but I didn't want to just jump in the middle of the show and wanted to watch it from the beginning since it sounded pretty good. Now that I've got NetFlix streaming video I can watch the whole damned series online! It's friggin awesome I'm gonna have to get the boxed set of this show now. I heard that my old favorite show the new Battlestar Galactica had some stiff competition but I nevr tore away from BSG to watch Jericho. I have a feeling though that Jericho will have the same problem that BSG suffered from. The series won't live up to the pilot episode with all those nukes putting the fear of god in ya.

UPDATE: 06/13/09
I finished watching the series, I gotta admit I was surprised it really came across like it wasn't cut early but instead they ended it on their terms instead of dragging it out because they realized it would probably suck if they dragged it on longer than the meat of the main storyline allows.

Now that's Change

I love this, it's just got awesome written all over it.



No differant than voting for Obama, except people really do believe the Obama Fantasy. Kinda like the Bush Fantasy that he kept us safe.

More Diabetes thoughts

Just made an observation about diabetes that got me thinking. When I was religiously on the protein diet my sugars were nicely under control. But I had to give it up be cause I was crapping 10lb bricks and I'd rather not do that anymore.

I think the theory behind why it works is wrong. It's got to do with why most 3rd world countries don't have diabetes epidemics. They don't get our food. I'm starting to think the cause of diabetes is in the preservatives we add to our food. The meats I was eating on the protein diet don't have the same preservatives as all the rest. Might be something too that.

EDIT: 05-15-09 I was talking with Ben one of the Foreman at the shop I work at. And talked to him about the fact that he's lost about 50lbs or so in the last six months. He said he'd be dieting and all to get his diabetes under control but wasn't having any luck. He Told me that he finally quit sodas and coffee, bam he started slowly and surely dropping pounds and his blood sugars leveled out. Can't just be the caffeine though it's got the be some of the chemicals they put in it. When I was on the protein diet I only drink diet sodas and those had caffeine so that's not it as far as I'm concerned.

Why I hate doctors & the mass media

They lie to you.

I have type 2 diabetes. A few minutes ago I came upon a realization. Obesity is not the cause of diabetes. There is a correlation between the two but obesity is not the cause, it's a symptom.

Here's the common sense logic, if a person can not burn all the sugars they consume what happens? They store it as fat. In a diabetic they can not burn the sugars at the rate of the general population, so diabetics should be fat if the two have the same diet. I understand the logic of using diet and exercise to control the diabetes and that's a good thing.

The way the mass media and medical industry spin it constantly as if obesity was the cause of diabetes instead of being a symptom of it when any non-doctor can use common sense to see the obvious real issue just smells like disingenuous bullshit. Makes me proud to wear a tin-foil hat.

Not having as much success with Jaunty Jackalope

Getting the New Ubuntu has not been as user friendly as 8.X but then I guess user friendly has never been the Linux MO. I had to learn that the hard way trying to get all my Apps to run under Linux following all the Guru's who claimed to have gotten many of my favorite games and programs to run. I was never able to match their success, although it was fun trying I never got the satisfaction of making any of it work. Still it's a fun hobby but no replacement OS until the gaming companies support it.

The Poxy Boaggards

Still my favorite 12 man quartet or whatever the hell they are.

Feelin' Grrreat!

o.O
This is Great! Worth sharing.

I find it Ironic how they billed themselves as the ultimate financial guru's but now reality reveals the man behind the curtain and it was all a sham. The more I think about it the more I realize ALL of the HUGE to big to fail companies were all nothing but ponzi scheme's.

Think about this for a second. They sell insurance for INVESTMENTS. WTF?! Are you kidding me?! That's like selling insuance in Vegas on Bets. It's got scam written all over it Fucking government bought and paid for and sitting on thier thumbs as usual. sons a bitches

The Trunk Monkey

Stumbled on this vid this morning. These are some awesome commercials.

Had a heartattack

Had a heart attack sunday... or possobly it started friday night. This is gonna suck making adjustments to avoid the next one. Faaaacckk No! I aint giving up red meat and strippers.

Anyway Dr. Gogia, cleared up three unseen blockages with an angeoplasty. The EMT team was awesome and cleared up the main symptoms for the most part.

Hired a house keeper

My neighbor Art's wife got laid off after 25 years at the place she worked. What a freaking nightmare. They laid off all the Loyal employees who have been there for decades for the underpaid ones. I hired her to clean my place up I really needed the help and they need the money, so it's a win all around. Hopefully when she does gets a new job she'll stick around and clean my place up on weekends or something.

Makes me wonder about my own situation, I get the feeling it's a traditional place where loyalty does mean something but ya never know. Still I'm happy there, and hope not to get lost in the slow economy but I'm used to handling huge jobs as a "Detailer/Designer." We haven't had one of those in a few years.

Finally got off the sleeping pills

I finally quit the sleeping pills... again. Ughh I hate those things. I O'd over a month ago just before my dad's birth day. At first that didn't scare me like it should have, I dunno I've been confused as fuck lately. I think the diabetes has been outta whack. Worst part is when it is outta whack it makes me feel nothing but apathy.

I still have trouble sleeping but last time I mentioned getting some help sleeping to a doctor she told me to see s shrink. I hate that, shrinks are joke they're about as real a science as witch doctors. I'd rather get my pills & drugs from a real doctor.

Giving Warhammer Another Shot

Last month I got so frustrated with the complete domination of "Destruction" across the board on all the Warhammer Open RvR & Core servers that the game stopped being fun, so I quit the game. But I've got to admit, the damned game is crack for me. So after careful consideration and overlooking the servers I noticed that there is one server where Order is slightly winning. It's the role-playing server Phoenix Throne. I've been on it a few days now and its been pretty good. Keeps actually get defended and the flavor and attitude on the server is vastly different.

I'm a role-player at heart anyway so it's not like it's a stretch I just need to get more into the history of the game, that I don't have. I should probably talk to one of the youngsters from my old Sunday game Brandon. He was heavy into warhammer and even worked for games workshop for about a year and would probably know where I should look for reading material to write up a a good back story. I do miss the old crew, that's got a lot to do with what the game is about. But I have to admit, after being on servers with absolutely no hope what so ever of defeating the enemy to this, a server with hope. It sucks and in some way's because I'm leaving the guild behind I don't like it, but I'll take it. Because it's either that or leave since the developers lacked some serious common sense so there's no point.

The Opera Mobile Web Browser

I picked up the Verizon XV6900 "Vouge" with Windows Mobile and was utterly disappointed with it. It feels as if Microsoft isn't even trying to compete with Apple or Google they just suck.

Then I picked up the Opera Mobile Web Browser and HOLY CRAP! It really feels like a brand new phone. They did a fantastic job with that web browser. But still, I think this phone is the last Microsoft OS product I'll ever purchase. Every line of there's OS's lately have been terrible. I'm either going pure open source or apple. I just wish Either Apple or one of the Linux Distros would get serous about competing with Microsoft for gaming. That's the only thing holding both of them back the gaming community is secondary to the business community for driving the market but still. Oh well.

Grandpa Tompson Tells A Story

To fix the economy we need to give money to the buisness that failed "It's like a fat guy trying to loose weight by eating doughnuts!" LOL Holy Shit that's awesome!

Been playing a lot of Warhammer Online lately. It's been a lot of fun for the most part. I joined a guild called "Draconum Knights" and the community is great and loads of fun but the responsiveness of the developer community has been far less than stellar and frankly is typical of what I expected from an EA product, crap. Mythic put together a potentially awesome game but it feels like EA put their foot down to make sure it turned into crap.

I played "Breetai" the witch hunter for the last month or so and got him to Rank 40 with 42 renown. Not fantastic but certainly quite respectable but this weekend we decided to move our guild to a new server. It's hard to let that character go but we have too. The Wolfenburg server is dy9ing a slow death Mythic is doing nothing about it and there's nothing we can do to stop it, so we better get off that sinking ship. Dealing with the other guilds on that server was more irritating than fun so that makes Open Realm vs Realm even tougher, it shouldn't be that way.

So far the Skull Throne server has been a blessing. Gotten to know some of the local guilds and they're not a bunch of Pre-Madonnas like we had on Wolfenburg. I've got a new toon, "Norburg" the Archmage whom I got to rank 12 this weekend. I'm trying to get my main Breetai transferred to Skull Throne but EA/Mythic are giving me the run around. Partly because I'm not on the list of "Approved" server transfers at the moment and want to do a paid transfer and I'm trying to find out if and when they'll be available the other part is the legendary support of EA never providing an honest answer.

EDIT: Update
Not a week after we leave wolfenburg and I get vocal about it in the Forums does mythic open up wolfenburg for transfers. Is mythic listening? I hope so, but I doubt it they're other issues with the game as well openly argued about on the warhammer alliance boards that make it pretty clear to me that the game developers Mythic are actually playing favorites with the side of destruction on most issues it's no wonder they drastically out number the order side. It's unfortunate, it'll shorten the lifespan of the game if they don't change that.

Family Loss

We lost my grandfather this week. Things were initially looking quite hopeful that he may make a recovery and add a few years of fun but it wasn't meant to be. The day before he died he was excited and happy about the fact that he was able to hop around on one leg in his walker without help. I guess my sister's experience in hospitals pretty much nailed it when she said before the surgery to remove the leg that his spirit and will power are there and strong but his body is shot and done.

Good bye Popa Ron

It's Voting Day!

Cross your fingers. With any any luck no incumbents will be reelected.

On either side.
