Anti-Pot Republican Lawmaker Charged with Pot Possession

Ah the irony.



A Rhode Island lawmaker, who recently slammed his colleagues by invoking the image of pot-smoking immigrants, has been busted for alleged marijuana possession.

Republican House Minority Leader Robert Watson was arrested in East Haven, Conn., on Friday at a police checkpoint and was also charged with driving under the influence.

Willsdom (Will Smith wisdom)

I just developed a man-crush for Will Smith - an absolute inspiration, of great character, and a surprising source of truth & wisdom. Who woulda thunk it - rad!

Gobble some o' this up...

American: The Bill Hicks Story - Official Trailer

A documentary on Bill Hicks, one of the best comedian/philosopher/truth speaker/sociological satirists there ever was.

Clip: That Mitchell and Webb Look - Professor Death

Heh heh heh. This sketch looks at Einstein's dilemma's in a light hearted way. Love it.

Clip: 2 'Suns' spotted in Chinese sky

This news is a few weeks old now, but still interesting nonetheless. I wonder what it is.

Thought of the day #4: Time

The nature of time can be found in the nature of... well... nature.

Time moves along like how a fern tree is structured. On every fern tree you can focus on a leaf which is like a mini fern tree in itself. Then on THAT mini fern tree there is ANOTHER mini-er fern tree, and so on. The cycle repeats and gets infinitely smaller and divided up into little mini fern trees until all a fern tree leaf comprised of ALL fern tree leaves is reached. It reaches a zero point. An inconceivable point of oneness. "Point zero". Same with time.

Clip - Rap News 7: #Revolution!

The newest installment of Rap News is a 10 minute epic!

Awesome as always.

Cartoon: Earth being stupid (from zeitgeist 3)

Clip: The Hopi Prophecy

Clip: Muckaty - Kylie Sambo

People should probably hear this.

Clip: Love Police Compilation

Pretty sure these guys are from the crew of Zeitgeist. Not sure though. But nonetheless this is hilarious.

These two dudes go into the public streets of somewhere in UK (?) with megaphones and spread the word of the free human. They perfectly reflect back at people the attitudes of the elite, in humorous fashion. I couldn't stop laughing!

So much truth is getting spurted here it'd make your head spin if it wasn't delivered such a casual, simple and funny fashion . Just watch. It's awesome.

Clip: Tool - 10,000 days hidden track

This is amazing. So it turns out that 3 separate tracks from the Tool album '10,000 days' can be combined into one...

- The track "10,000 days" is 11:13 in length (would've been better if they made it 11:11)
- The track "Viginti Tres" is 5:02.
- And the track "Wings for Marie" is 6:11

Do the math and 5:02 + 6:11 = you guessed it, 11:13. So if you sync up Viginti Tres and Wings for Marie (in that order) up against 10,000 days then you get yourself the hidden track. Kinda like this:
( (viginti tres + wings for marie) + 10,000 days ) = super dooper bonus hidden track.
It's really quite a remarkable thing they've done here. Them tools never cease to amaze me with their intricate music, complex concepts and esoteric implementation of universal truths. Love it!

Here are the songs separately...
- 10,000 Days
- Viginti Tres
- Wings For Marie

If you have the songs from the album on your computer, you can use any basic sound editing software (like Audacity) to sync them up. I recommend syncing them up yourself, because then you can play around with the volume levels and see how the different tracks contribute to the overall track. It's really really really really interesting. BUT, if you can't be bothered doing that, then check out the video below...



Fucking amazing. Gives me chills. I don't know of any band in history that has done something like this. Tool didn't even advertise it or anything. They just wanted to let everyone get their minds blown for themselves. That is so extremely epic.

Thought of the day #3: Knowledge

There's knowledge and then there's 'organised knowledge'. There's a difference. One contributes a million times more to your personal success than the other. Straight up knowledge is information energy. A powerful energy, but useless on its own. 'Organised knowledge' is knowledge that you've applied with intelligent efforts. That's what wisdom is - applied knowledge.

That's a key thing to realise, cos for the past few years i've been absorbing boatloads of knowledge without putting in the effort to remember it properly or spend time considering how i can use the knowledge. Day after day goes by, and before you know it, the new knowledge you receive pushes out the old knowledge that never had the chance to internalize.

Today that cycle stops, and a new positive habit is ingrained. WOOOOOOOP WOOP WOOP WOOP!

Epic.

What an articulate girl.



If only it made more of a difference.

Article: Birds use quantum theory to literally 'see' Earth's magnetic field as they fly

This potential discovery is fascinating when you consider that:
- Energy travels through magnetics
- Human emotion affects the magnetic field of the earth
- The magnetic field affects weather (earthquakes etc)
If we can figure out how the birds see the magnetic fields, then maybe we can figure out how we can see them also. And that would surely be an an evolutionary step. Exciting stuff!

Here's the article...



Birds may be able to ‘see’ the Earth’s electromagnetic field as they fly through the sky, scientists have suggested.

Many creatures, including all birds, navigate by sensing the direction of the magnetic forces around our planet to guide them.

But now researchers have found that different reactions are produced in the eyes of all avian creatures depending on which way the field spins.

Revolution in Egypt

Some intense times are happening in Egypt at the moment.

Here's some footage of some people who have had enough of having their freedom breached. Loco stuff. It's amazing what happens when a massive population becomes fed up with a select "elite" few dictating a poor way of living for their own benefit; when a massive population of people decide to stand up for their rights and freedom. They unite and stand up and say, "No. Enough."

It's just a shame that things are in such bad shape that the only remaining choice is by force and violence. I simple can't imagine what it must be like to go through. Truly intense stuff.

Clip: UFO sighting at Temple Mount, Israel

It seems like UFO sightings have been popping up all over the place in the past year.

Personally, there's no doubt in my mind the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations in other galaxies, and also of their presence among us. However obviously it's impossible to prove it. Nonetheless, i'm gonna post sightings. It's up to you to validate its truth/untruth for yourself.

Article: Talking to God

A friend sent me this today and it proved to be one of the most interesting things i've read about in like 6 months.

It's hard to explain it. Just begin reading, it'll either spark something in you and you wont blink until the end, or you'll get a quarter way through, laugh, and close it. It'll be interpreted in a range of different ways depending on who you are, but i'm absolutely certain that there will be a select few out there who will get something from this.

I met god the other day.

I know what you’re thinking. How the hell did you know it was god?

Well, I’ll explain as we go along, but basically he convinced me by having all, and I do mean ALL, the answers. Every question I flung at him he batted back with a plausible and satisfactory answer. In the end, it was easier to accept that he was god than otherwise.

Which is odd, because I’m still an atheist and we even agree on that!
