Disorganized Chaos

Alright, I don’t actually think this ‘Pac-Man skull’ is all that great, but I do like Pac-Man. Here are some cool facts about the “Pac” : The original name of the game was “Puck-Man” .. notice how he looks like a hockey puck? Well, the Japanese developers were afraid that American teens would alter the arcade cabinet to make it say a dirty word. They would have been right. Pac-Man was designed to attract female gamers, which happened to be a sorely lacking demographic in arcades. 25 years later, female gamers are still in the minority.

With all that eating, I’ll bet that Pac-Man knows what the most effective diet pills are. Power pellets anyone?

The Pac-Man Skull is the result of the combined efforts of Le Gentil Garcon and paleontologist Francois Escuilie. The skull you see here is 65 centimeters in diameter, and he features great ghost goblin gums.

I guess Ke$ha is a big deal right now. I wouldn’t know because I don’t follow pop music anymore. What I can tell you about pop music is this: it’s a great time to have no talent. Pop stars today don’t need to sing, dance or have any music related skills at all. This girl is evidence that you just need to stay skinny and use enough acne products to keep their skin clear. If I had to guess, I’d say that Ke$ha is probably related to someone who is a big shot in the music industry. There’s no way she got a pop hit any other way.

This is quite a crash. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a semi wreck in such a spectacular fashion. I have a few things to say about this video… first off, those concrete barriers are tough! The truck flew right over it, and the barrier didn’t budge. Impressive. The other thing that I noticed about this video: the semi was pushed off the road by what appears to be a daewoo. I would think that a small car like that would simply bounce off, or possibly crumble under the tire of that 18-wheeled behemoth. I would be wrong, too. Apparently, a compact car can bully a fully loaded soda truck. Maybe the driver of this car has Napoleon syndrome, aka an inferiority complex. Sure, he proved a point, but hell never see cheap insurance quotes again.. ever. I’m pretty sure that being responsible for the destruction of a huge truck, your own car and whatever vehicles that truck might have collided with means you never get a bargain on auto insurance, ever.

Is it just me, or does this briefcase look a lot like the rear end of a 57 chevy? This has got to be the classiest rolling briefcase I’ve ever laid eyes on. You’d better have a zoot suit to match this thing, or it will look better than you. I’d hate to be upstaged by my briefcase, but if you don’t choose your wardrobe carefully, it’s bound to happen when your attache is so drop dead sexy. If I had one of these, I’d try to find someone to make a pair of Dayton rims for it.

I know that it has been a few days since my last post. I unfortunately got very, very ill and have been unable to write. Lots of narcotic pain medication tends to make my brain alot like chunky soup- between that and an unbelievably high fever and presto! You have brain soup!

I have a rather nasty habit of failing to verbalize how crappy I really feel. This is a very, very bad thing. No matter how you cut it, its a habit that I really do need to break. Normally, its not a problem, I get a little sick, I get over it. Not much to it really. I never have had a problem -not- getting better from something. That is, until now. When you are on immunosuppresive medication you rarely just “get better”. In fact by the time that you realize you are sick, you are too sick to just get better without the aid of medication and doctors visits. This time it was a real wake up call. I was admitted to the hospital with a fever of 103.7 degrees F, a heart rate of 160 BPM, pain off the scale of one to ten, massively dehydrated and generally dillusional and hallucinating. I was sick enough that I didn’t have to wait in the waiting room of a public hospital, which again, is one of those things that screams “idoit! you shouldn’t have waited so long”. Within an hour of walking in the door of the hospital I was told that I needed to have Emergency surgery to lance an abscess. The infection contained in said abscess is what made me so very sick. By 3 pm I was being prepped for surgery and nearly 2 hours later I was being woken up. The sad part is, that I felt better. After surgery, but I felt about a million percent better. That could have been a combonation of the meds to knock me out and the synthetic morphine they were pumping into me every two hours, but I dont think so. The pain that I am dealing with now, in recovering from the surgery, is totally different. I think that small difference is what makes it so tolerable.

Its about time for me to take more medication, antibiotics now, pain meds in two hours. I will be back soon- Wish me luck!

In light of my recent research on alien life forms, exo-planets, habitable planets and all other things involving our solar system and beyond I have discovered a rather useful website for my research here .

On June 18, 2007 researchers found that the planet Gliese 581c was in fact too hot to support anything like life as we know it. However, in uncovering that information found that a neighboring planet in the same solar system may in fact be just about right. Now the key component to ‘life-as-we-know-it’ is water. Water in its liquid form to be more precise. 581d seems likely to match this criteria.

581c at first glance seems to be in the perfect earth-like spot and orbit. It is in what NASA has dubbed the habitable-zone or “goldilocks zone”. However, a deeper look into the planets atmosphere shows us that the conditions of that planet are in fact more like Venus than earthly conditions. This is caused by large amounts of carbon dioxide and methane surrounding the planet thus causing a massive greenhouse effect. This means that the temperatures reach as high as 212 degrees Fahrenheit and turn whatever water that may reside on the planetary surface into steam. Knowing that little piece of information scientist applied that formula to the other planets within the solar system and discovered that although the placement of the 581d is slightly outside what is the official comfort zone that (given the greenhouse effect equation) it may in fact be just what we have been looking for.



581d is massive; roughly 8x the Earth’s mass. It is orbiting a extremely stable red dwarf star called Gliese 581. And its not very far from home. Only 20.5 light years! That sounds like something that we could actually make worth our while.



While reading the comments from the article it makes me realize how silly some people can get when it comes to alien life.

Not that my previous research endeavors have yielded anything less. God forbid you type the word “Alien” into a search engine. The first 400+ pages are dedicated to so called “alien enthusiast’s” which is fancy jargon for “someone-who-wants-to-sell-you-something” in this case, that something is a supposed piece of space junk. People spending thousands of dollars on pieces of meteorites, dirt from the ’crash site’ in Roswell.



Roswell, that’s a whole new ball of wax there. What was once the thought to be the site of a massive governmental cover-up has become nearly the sci-fi capital of the US. The entire town is catering to the alien subculture. Because there is one, regardless of what you may think. A seething underbelly of memorabilia, costumes and SETI study groups. These people are relentless. And to be completely honest, does any one really believe that aliens are short green men with big heads and tiny bodies? Don’t get me wrong, they are cute, and I have a few figurines myself but that doesn’t mean that I think that alien life is going to look like that. I think that there are a lot of atmospheric factors that need to be taken into consideration as to whether or not they will in fact look like us or more like say, an earthworm. There is no saying that life on another planet will be more than Animal, bacterial, chemical or something that we simply cannot define.



Who says that aliens are more advanced than we are? We really don’t know enough of space to make that assumption. And we honestly don’t have any proof that they have ever been here. I know, I know, there are SO many reports and so much that the government has covered up, right? So much that the average person doesn’t know. So, basically that means that American has put a gag order on the world? I mean, if you believe that, then why not…I find it hard to think that just because Americans haven’t heard about it from our fear mongering media outlets doesn’t mean that we wouldn’t have heard it from world news or the very least the internet. Though, you truly cannot believe everything that you read on the internet! I just think that a cover up of that scale would require a lot more than we are capable of. Not only as a nation, but the whole world?



There hasn’t been on shred of readily recognizable evidence presented to NASA that we know of. Or any other space research facility in the world. Now the operative term in that statement would be “that we know of”- because what do I know? I might just be wrong. They might be covering up everything, but that arises the question of “Why?”. When they are constantly releasing information regarding planetary research, life probes and all fashion of things about space and the search for life on them. Why would it be so taboo to share something like “We we cool enough that the aliens decided to visit us first!” and announce it to the world. You think that we are unpopular now, imagine if we were the envy of the world for one more incredible thing that happened in the United States. Instead, we are laughed at for Roswell. Its become a joke to everyone that isn’t part of the alien life subculture. I find it very sad that something that was once thought to be so significant has become so commercialized. It no longer has anything to do with what actually happened and most people have no idea what really did happen anymore. All its about is how cool the Alien shaped light fixtures are downtown or how every sign for every restaurant says something witty like “Alien’s Welcome”- double meaning much, it -is- near the border…

This kitty cracked me up, not to mention the two people laughing thier butts off in the background (I suspect either illegal drugs or alcohol to be a factor in the insane giggling) telling the kitty how silly he is!

Did you know that the average wind speed over the last eight weeks in my city has been more than 30 mph? And people think I’m simply whining about the wind. I just dont think that they understand. Today seems to be calm so far, calm enough that they are finally turning on the a/c.

In other news, I have been thinking about getting a digital frame. You know, the kind that flips through your photos at random on an SD card or something. Maybe I should look on Craigs list or Ebay to see if I can get a good deal on a decently sized one. My husband is very much a shutter bug and I’d really enjoy a slide show of his photos displayed on my wall. The only catch is that I’d not want a little 5 x 7 frame. I think it would be a job better suited for an 8 x 10 perhaps, turned on its side. Now I know that everyone thinks that they are going to make tons of money on the internet, but I think that he has a real shot at making some money off these photos if he ever decided to sell them. Maybe we should just go and print a bunch of them at Walgreens or something like that, buy frames and go post up at the flea-market. I bet you that would make us a few dollars at least. Hey, maybe we can get rid of some more of our crap at the same time. Well, more likely, his crap.

See, I don’t see the point in holding on to stuff for long periods of time. My husband on the other hand has books, tapes, drawing notebooks (that I understand acutally) boxes and boxes of really truly randomness. The kid even has an old Kalekovision with an Atari adapter and about at least 5 games that I know of. I mean, really? I don’t know, I might talk to my Uncle, who is exceptionally good at selling things what he thinks we could get for it. You never know. I saw on the internet that a girl sold her NES with a really rare game for like 15k. Gotta love Ebay!

Perhaps one day we’ll get lucky. I’m not looking to make millions, just a few dollars to pay day. I’m not the greedy type. I wouldn’t know what to do with more than a few thousand dollars anyway. I’d probably just wanna keep it all forever and ever.

I wanted to do a slideshow for my mom for mothers day. The only problem with this was that I don’t have the proper programming to be able to do it. This makes things kinda hard when you are not only broke but don’t even have the means to make your mother something for mothers day. How freakin sad, right? Five year olds around the world were pasting together macaroni pictures and I don’t even have the money to buy the freakin macaroni! And even if I did have the money and the macaroni, it would likely become dinner…

I’m very glad that my family doesn’t put alot of stock in presents. I hope that my little phone call, while her phone was dying, was enough to make her smile. Maybe one day I will be able to buy her flowers and diamonds. She deserves it. I know that alot of people say that they have the best mother around, and to their situation they are probably right, but thats for them. My mother is very special, and incredibly strong. I don’t know how it is that she has managed her life thus far. I sometimes cry for her, because I feel like she doesn’t cry for herself cause she is so very busy taking care of everyone else. I love you, Mama. You are my inspiration to keep going. If you can deal with what you do and still come out clean and smelling like roses, then I shouldn’t complain so much about my life. You make me remember that no matter what, you just have to get up in the morning. No matter how badly you don’t want to bother, you just wipe off the dust pull your head up over your shoulders and keep looking for the crack. That one peice of light, that one ray of hope that things might change. And knowing that even if they don’t and you never find that crack, you distracted yourself from being upset by looking for it. Maybe that is what God is, the crack we all look for in the dark. The outline of hope, the promise of something better at the end of the day. I know its a bit late, but Happy Mothers Day, Mom. They should have it more than just one day a year to honor the women that take care of us without a selfish bone in their bodies…One day is not enough.

After looking at apidexin I can say that it really does confirm my belief that diet pills are something to be avoided at all costs. Now that is certainly a private opinion. I am anti-weight loss surgery too. If you need to get thinner people, its really easy. Start walking. I have lost 20 lbs that way. Granted it wasn’t in three days or whatever the next fast weight loss medication bottle is telling you. But I lose about 1-2 lbs a week and I haven’t done anything to my diet. Just getting out of the house for an hour 3 days a week and walking around a very pretty part with music blaring in my ears. No, as if to confirm my suspicions check out this review I plucked from the site
“Aside from the nausea, jitters, uncontrollable hyperness, headaches and insomnia, I am losing weight! Is it worth it? Of course!”

This is one of the most unhealthy outlooks on weight loss I have ever seen. It just goes to prove my point that women just want to be beautiful, no matter the cost. Its no wonder that you aren’t hungry if you feel like you are going to blow chunks every few minutes or you can’t stop talking long enough to put food in your mouth. Not to mention that lack of sleep has a marked effect on your metabolism. This is one of those pills that once you stop being able to sleep, you want to stop taking. And once you stop taking them, your body blows up like a new years day float.

I think its unfair to sell this type of fraud in a bottle.
