tushbutt - hold onto your heinie

Put one foot in front of the other
And soon you’ll be walking out the door

that’s me! i’m bad news bears. i’m that guy with the bomb shelter but otherwise has few admirable qualities.

did you just get dumped? did your friend do something shitty? lose your job? kill your cat? need a favor? come on down! i will be your rock. tell me all about it and i will make any sacrifices necessary to fix this.

things are going fantastic? got a raise? new car? you and your friend made up? boyfriend proposed to you? that’s good news! i guess i’ll see you later then.

i love being that guy that can be relied on to be there when everything sucks. i love listening to you tell me about how terrible people are and how much better things would be if i was there instead. i totally understand why you don’t think proactively and invite me to these things, because then i would be there! and if i’m there, then you have nobody to brag to if things go swell.

camaraderie of the damned

if there’s one guy you want on your side it’s the loner, the drug addict, the heartbroken, the depressed guy, all who think you understand him. they’re totally gonna stick to you during bullshit and when things are bright you’re gonna be the first one to share in the loot.

(i wonder if people actually think that! i think they do! i am milked like a cow!)

i don’t know if it’s just me but it always seems that people who are down in the dumps are more generous and thoughtful. well, this is very true but i kind of meant on a smaller scale.

“hey man what are you doing”

“not shit”

“you got any money”

“let me see what i got”

“i got a eighty cents and i’m trying to get a pack”

“dude i got you for a buck fifty we can get some dorals”

“thanks champ i’ll be there in 5”

a real conversation held between me and scott!

i’m not going to post any examples of shitty people because that would be a shitty thing to do to someone, but you can use your thinking cap and imagine a scene painted with sadness and exploitation!

people who are willing to split their sandwich or help a friend out with their last dollar are awesome! if you are one of those people you are awesome! really, you are!

if you aren’t, find a role model! go look at ribboncage’s page and emulate what you see! she is an awesome person!

i don’t want to be the shoulder to cry on anymore! please stop using me for this! it is emotionally draining! if this is the only reason you talk to me i would appreciate if you stopped altogether if you’re not willing to cut the shit! i am tired of going the extra mile to cheer people up and be a cool guy when you are down just to be walked all over or left out of the credits! you are such a turkey if you are one of the people who does this to me time and time again!

we’ve got half a tank of gas and nowhere to be, mix cds and a pack of menthols

you and me in a five speed on a quest for adventure

let’s go get lost then have lunch outside

Alex Jones is the hero who is saving America And Effectively The Entire World by releasing this film. You may remember him as the Loose Change guy! He’s made dozens of conspiracy theory films in the past and will probably continue to make more.

The website for the film says this about it, “The Obama Deception is a hard-hitting film that completely destroys the myth that Barack Obama is working for the best interests of the American people.” It goes on to explain that Obama is a puppet for some New World Order. Okay, that’s cool. It’s a conspiracy film, so of course it has to be disproving something.

After letting my youtube masterpiece buffer for about ten minutes I start this steam engine up and prepare for the mind-exploding ride of a life.

The film begins with ominous music and that effect that you may remember from countless PBS documentaries in history class, that zooming in and out on a single image thing while the color is changed slightly.

It starts out with some heavy-hitting comments, like “It’s pretty obvious that there are some giant financial institutions that have been pulling the strings of politicians in this country for a long time.” and a few minutes later it gets more to-the-point “The “New World Order” is a more palatable name for the “Anglo-American World Empire”“

Now we know where this is heading! The movies centralizes around a group called the Bilderbergers, who are (from wiki) “an annual, unofficial, invitation-only conference of around 130 guests, most of whom are people of influence in the fields of politics, banking, business, the military and media.”.

These Bilderbergers are the moustache-twirling evil masterminds who are behind this grand scheme of creating a new world order where there is one central government that encompasses the world. They’re referred to as “The Globalists” at times.

Some of the things that the Bilderbergers have done to our American Hero (obama) according to the film:

“He’s obviously been chosen and given everything he’s got by [them]”

“This is why Obama was prepared and groomed for a period of over thirty years”

“They give him the money, they give him the bundling, they give him vote fraud, media whores, goons, elected officials makign threats, put people in jail if they criticize Obama in public.”

The film shows us the Bilderbergers tower of power. It’s a pyramid chart showing how the banking elite (them) are on top, the military is the second tier, and our elected officials (obama) are at the bottom, being used as just a puppet to take the fall for any mishaps that may happen along the way. It’s a pretty scary idea, to think that a group of crotchety old men are in control of our entire government and our armed forces! The film paints a picture that makes you uncomfortable and looking under your bed for these Boogeymen of Wall Street. Speaker Geral Celente tells us about how evil these men are while the camera changes angles every other sentence, almost like something from a propaganda film….

I could go into a seriously long-winded discussion of this film but I’d rather not because it’s so overwhelmingly wrong. It’s just bad.

Looking at the speakers we have KRS-One, who is a rapper that preaches nonviolence and has won awards for such but otherwise has little political affiliation, Jesse Ventura, who holds more water than our buddy KRS by being an actual politician, Webster Tarpley, a LaRouche follower, Gerald Celente, a US trends forecaster who predicted the fall of the Soviet Union but otherwise his predictions are sweepingly wrong.

The talking heads go on to discuss how Abraham Lincoln was murdered for reasons that until now were kept a secret. They give us a quote about how banks are bad people and how Lincoln’s rash comment is what got him murdered. Except. A quick google search shows us that the quote was proven to be false.

We’re also told that secret agents from the Bank of England tried to assassinate Andrew Jackson. Which might be all well and true, since he was attacked by a supporter of banks. Who’s to say that guy wasn’t an agent sent to kill him? Anyone is. The film states that he was put on a hit list, but gives no evidence to support it.

Remember that list from earlier of things that these Bilderberg guys did for Obama? Like starting to prepare him for his big puppeteer show over 30 years ago? What the hell is that even about? Are they trying to tell me that the Bilderbergers went to Barack Obama’s highschool and picked him out of the millions of other black teenagers in the world who they can use as a marionette 30 years later? Haha, okay!

They also say that Obama’s cabinet of cronies is entirely composed of dirtbags from Wall Street. No women, no retirees, no small businessmen, nobody from defense, nothing. Just a bunch of old guys from Wall Street. Google leads me to believe otherwise.

Obama’s also being controlled to expand the federal government to control small family-owned farms. Oh wait… Nevermind! There’s nothing to imply that is happening.

The entire film is littered with inaccurate information and baseless claims. Honestly, I skipped around the video because I couldn’t sit through parts of it without getting disinterested. Every piece I jumped to had another ridiculous claim that can be quickly disproven with google.

The Obama Deception is an awful propaganda movie that Alex Jones made because he’s lonely in his tinfoil hat and wants more company. Regardless of how much of a textbook conspiracy theorist film it is it’s being eaten up by the audience. It’s supposed to open your mind and let you think freely, but only if it’s what Jones wants you to think.

I suspect buyers of Obama Deception were also big fans of Zeitgeist and Fahrenheit 9/11.

7. Your zodiac sign and if you think it fits your personality.

Many Sagittarians move from city to city and job to job, always in search of a new challenge or new social interactions. They have trouble finishing what they start, but they cope well with change, adversity and diversity, and their sunny personalities ensure that they make plenty of friends along the way

They’re generous to a fault and will give their last dollar to someone in need or spend it all on drinks for everyone in the room. Many Sagittarians have big, impractical plans for making money, as well as a penchant for gambling.

Sagittarians love to travel and often believe that it is a better educator than school.

Sagittarians often have trouble with traditional 9-5 careers. They will not follow the rules if they don’t believe that the rules are right and just. They have the courage to speak up for their convictions and fight for what they believe in, which can lead to clashes with authority.

Although Sagittarians are good at creating fun times and cheering people up, their bluntness can sometimes have the opposite effect. Sagittarians can be honest to the point of cruelty, and will upset more sensitive individuals with their often accurate but not very diplomatic statements. Most Sagittarians can take the truth about themselves, at least more of the truth than others can, and so they seek to impose truths on others even when sensitivity is called for. This is the source of much strife in Sagittarian relationships. Additionally, some Sagittarians have a tendency to exaggerate and brag, which can put others off.

Sagittarians are good judges of character, but they’ll hang around with almost anyone, even someone they think is not a very nice person, if they find that person interesting.

I think I fit my horoscope pretty well. I like moving place to place and can hardly hold a job and am generous to a fault. Bragging and a lack of social graces when it comes to tactfully telling someone what’s wrong are not strangers of mine. Then again, horoscopes are pretty vague and really only describe things that people want to hear about themselves. And I might just be agreeing with anything it says so I can be more like my idol (ole blue eyes), so you’d have to ask someone else whether or not I’m a good Sagittarius.

If someone would reply to this offering their two cents I’d appreciate it, haha.

#6. Write 30 interesting facts about yourself

Gosh this will be hard, here we go. I’ll probably give up after a certain point.

1. All of my pets are second hand
2. I’m scared of everything. Loud noises, moving quickly, bright lights. I’m pretty skittish.
3. I try not to curse at people. Cursing to people is okay, but at them is rude.
4. That being said, I’m never pleased when people curse at me.
5. I don’t hold grudges against people. After an argument with someone if I don’t start talking to them again it’s because they were generally unpleasant to be around. I think spiteful people are childish.
6. I’ve been accused of stealing jokes more times than I have stolen jokes. :(
7. Whenever I see people cursing at their parents I think you were not beat enough as a child and it’s totally true.
8. My favorite part of highschool was the class part. If I could have taken out the socializing part I would have been a much happier camper.
9. Clothes shopping makes me really uncomfortable. I always feel like I’m wasting money and end up just going to goodwill. It’s amazing how people can spend 30$ on a single shirt.
10. I think apartments are way more practical than houses.

Yep. I’m spent.

Origami is made from folding a single uncut sheet of paper. Everyone’s made a paper airplane or a fortune teller at some point. Eric Joisel made things that were unimaginable.

Today he died of lung cancer.

Even those who aren’t interested in or don’t understand origami can appreciate his works.

One of the craziest things about Josiel was his ability to visualize the patterns before he would even start.

Eric Joisel was featured in a documentary about origami, but otherwise did not receive a lot of attention for his skills. He doesn’t even have a wikipedia.

So today pour one out for one of the greatest artists who ever lived, who will probably not be surpassed for some time.
