They're coming up -- woot! OK, Paul wanted me to post a link to Pleix (http://www.pleix.net), but then it was down when I checked it. Usually it's up, and these folks make super rad videos... Paul should check out the Futureshock video, which is a video for a song by Atmosphere. Has anyone else checked out Seven's Travels? It's good stuff...
"Ground control to Major Tom: We found a hole in your theory and we named it Shawn."
Must learn Unix better... But that's another story. I'm thinking about rebuilding a box into a media server using the ClarkConnect Linux ISO (http://www.clarkconnect.org). Anyone got any experience with this?

Bill Murray was ROBBED
Man, what kind of moron could vote Sean Penn over Bill Murray?!? I think Lost in Translation was an amazing film, incredibly well-done on all parts, and Bill Murray deserved it. Did you see the look on his face just after they called Penn's name? He was crushed. You could see it from the longshots... The man did good.
I love that my affections this year were split between the cheapest film in the Awards and the most expensive. I'm very glad Peter Jackson got his due recognition, although I'm also sad that Coppola didn't get Director - sure, it's a dynasty, but how can you argue with Virgin Suicides and Lost in Translation? The woman is doing good things. I guess we haven't seen the last of either of these two.
OK, back to being pissed about Bush...

the good old days my a$$happier and calmer means ignorant and repressed
honest and truthful means naive and mute
when people say that the world used to be less violent, they really mean that the world used to not view violence as a bad thing.

traditionTradition ain't nothing but a great song in a musical. That's it. I want little to no part in tradition. Tradition is selling your daughter for a few cows. Tradition is putting in overtime at work. Tradition is punishment over rehabilitation, gaming the system, and believing in the good old days. There were no good old days. There are no eternal truths. Tradition is violence. Tradition is war as an institution. Tradition is hazing and initiation and bitter sexual encounters. Tradition is static.

Non-Participation == DEATH
If you are not participating, then just don't bother. If you don't intend to help us oust Bush in 2004 by compromising on a candidate who would at least reverse the most damaging moves of the current regime, then don't bother protesting, complaining, moaning, or whimpering.
If we do not remove Bush from office, we cannot get on with the discussion of improvements to our system that could create more desire for participation. Like proportional representation in the congress to facilitate more involvement and voice for alternative party participants. Wouldn't that be a better ammendment to make?

f*ck BUSHOK, I'm writing raw here, but I just had to get this out. Of course I saw the great dictator on TV this morning, and I was outraged from the start: Gay marriage, or any other kind of marriage, is neither a threat to our safety, our own marriages, or our world in any shape or form. In fact, legalizing same-sex marriages would further equalize our system of governance and further increase the benefits of freedom, equality, and respect to all of our citizens under our social union.
And then there's the Constitution itself: You can't just amend the Constitution directly against the Constitution. I just can't believe that we'd let someone do that, no matter who their daddy is.
Let's face it: GW hates gays, lesbians, transgendered, bisexuals, thinkers, critics, reporters, women, and people who think to much.
It's pitiful: GW gives fewer press conferences during his presidency than any other president in the 20th Century, and he hates homosexual/s/ity so bitterly that he must come out on television and tell us all about it. In fact, he has so much hate for same-sex marriage, and apparently it so hurts and endangers the president's own marriage, that he wants to make it a major issue for the next 9 months -- he wants America to finally elect him to office based on his hatred.
I feel neither hurt nor threatened by the issue of same-sex marriage. I feel extremely threatened by the chilling effect the Bush administration's rampant bullying, both at home and abroad.
Let's get together on a choice for 2004, because we'll all be hurting by 2008 if we don't get a regime change.
