Quote of the Night:

"I do not laugh because laughter is the Devil's wickedness.  Listen, there's no laughter in church.  You go to a church where there's laughter then you know you got the Devil on your back." -- J.C. on why he doesn't laugh.

Quote of the Night:

"We do know there are 140,000 workers, they're part of something called LUCA -Local Update of Census Addresses. And what they're doing is developing a master address file for all households in America. Now, what this means is the census workers are armed with handheld GPS units, where they simply push a button and their...unit communicates with the satellites, triangulates the location they're standing in and comes us with latitude and longitude coordinates to mark that specific location. They are now going to door-to-door to every residence in the country." --Wednesday's 4th hour guest, privacy advocate Katherine Albrecht reporting on the 2010 census plan.

for some reason i am angry

some days are just hard. i am ugly and have a lot of scars. i constantly have mucus in my ‘larry’ and i am tired. fighting social security as well as insurance yet again. it takes strength to fight this crap. to have time with my kids and grandkids and outliving my mother keep me going. but damn, it sucks to be me and no way to smile some mornings. i feel like the monster in some love passion for the pretty people. like the hunchback, there is no caregiver for me. damn them both, i made mistakes; like any human. but to leave me alone in this shit is so rude of you both. i loath you and it has shortened my live. you have defeated my will. screw you, i hope your assholes falls off!

Let us venture into Ignition City where the streets are littered with drunk astronauts….

Most of you know that I am a real fan of Warren Ellis’s work. Here is a review of his latest title from The ForbiddenPlanet International blog. Ellis has several on going books currently and I personally would recommend any of them. If you get into Warren’s work, beware, he will harm you….as thinking is required!

Review here.

yesterday in tomorrow

Of all the ‘lands’ either original to the park opening or added later; none has been tinkered with more than tomorrowland. And; why not?

Here is the 2nd entrance, which survived the longest I believe. This is the entrance I am most familiar with.

A breathtaking look into the future looms just a few steps ahead.

Tomorrow has always been a land in motion; always on the move. Here in the heart of tomorrowland, we see not only the TL Terrace, with the stage ‘UP’, we also see the beloved people mover, the skyway ride a monorail or 2 and people; all on the move.

Back when it was all exciting and new….we have the moon liner, which was the “wiener” for Flight to the Moon, which was replaced (after we landed there with Flight to Mars).

Speaking of change, here are 2 of the existing entrance. Did I say existing? As we speak, this entrance is currently undergoing change and a re-hab.

OK, that concludes our world wind tour of the park. I will from time to time, take a look at individual attractions or areas of interest.

This Just in: Mercury More Exciting Than Mars

from Wired:

Mercury was once seen as a cold, dead little world, spinning around the sun unchanged for the past 4 billion years.
No longer: Observations from the Messenger spacecraft say it’s anything but.
