Fantastic Find

Check out Filmsto.com for an aboslutely random peppering of funny videos. I love stuff like this. I imagine being tied to a chair and being forced to watch little 2 minute glimpses of the human society. It's some kind of pleasant overload to your brain. The site may feature 2 minutes of Ricky Gervais talking about autism or a kid in an elevator screaming because he forget to feed Pebbles.

From the desk of Eliot West

Philadelphia, PA

In economic slumps we often hear about the discomfort families must endure while learning to live with less. What is often overlooked is the homeless population of kitties running around Philadelphia streets.

Young CEO Jeffery Whitehead of the new startup company "Natural Hot Box" hopes to change all that with his new army of "Pizza Box Warmers".

Fantastic Find

The fantastic find of the week is Maddox. I've been waiting a long time to comment on SOPA and PIPA because I can't find voices out there that feel the way I do. 

I've written before how ineffectual click activism and sissy-pants revolts are. We have these dumb ass kids on the internet screaming and yelling about what is righteous and true, yet if you actually asked them to sacrifice something would they?

Quotes That Define Me

The following quote by Bertrand Russell hits home in our current year of 2012. We're beginning to feel like the train is coming off the tracks. It's becoming clear that our government is run by psychopaths who feel no shame or compassion; who feel no need to answer to anybody except their own greed. Congress can't agree on healthcare, jobs, defence or any other major issue. Still, when Hollywood gives them over 90 million dollars, both parties are ready to pass dispicable laws like PIPA and SOPA.

Quotes That Define Me

The following quote comes from the movie Fight Club. It still has an impact on me today. There is something very wrong with our modern soiciety. We live the lie as long as we can but sooner or later the seams will begin to crack. Lately I've found that I can do without that new iPhone and iPad. I'm happy to buy cloths at garage sales. I pick up books and actually concentrate on reading a story instead of mindlessly surfing the internet or watching TV.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

I recently attended a funeral in the southern US. It's about the third one I've been to. I've noticed a disgusting trend with how the baptists lay the dead to rest. About mid way into the funeral the preacher turns the event into a recruitment session.

Political Coping

I thought this was surely from The Onion but after close inspection it's actually a real guy on C-Span. The political satirist Vermin Supreme even has his own wiki. He wears his trademark boot hat and carries a large toothbrush as he participates in real election debates.

May every American have a free pony!

Movie Scenes

"Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" is probably my #1 favoriate movie of all time. My favorite line from the movie: 

"I was right in the middle of a fucking reptile zoo and somebody was giving booze to these god damn things!"

Cheer Me Up!

I've just spent most of my day answering calls for tech support even though I'm supposed to be developing web sites. I'm so thankful for "The IT crowd" for giving me the comical relief I need from my sometimes horrible job.

I love the very end of the video:

[Startled Scream]

Then apoligetic, Jen says, "I just won a hundred quid." as she waves her hands.

Cheer Me Up!

This video makes me laugh mostly but deep down my soul kind of hurts. What the hell has our news become? Any well researched journalism went out the window when CNN came online in the mid 90's. Now that everybody does "24-hour news" it's too hard to fill the day with decent content so you have to make bullshit up.
