Googling with your Dome.. CNN article here
"So if improved hardware is all it takes to speed up the device, Cyberkinetics' chip could be able to process thoughts as fast as speech - 110 to 170 words per minute - by 2012. Imagine issuing commands to a computer as quickly as you could talk."
I mean... am I being chickenshit here? The possibility that my thought process would be entered to a computer makes me think that said computer device would go haywire. I also get the feeling that I would lose control... I can stop my hands from typing..but I can't stop my mind from racing.
I'm guessing it would look something like this:
Open MacMail. Open iChat. Open safari homepage. Open GoogleChrome. (I am of course assuming that by 2012 computers will be able to respond to that annoying habit of users opening all programs at once immediately after turning your mac on. Dareisay I'm also assuming that GoogleChrome will be available for mac users)
Open email from boss. Coffee. Add to iCal "Dinner with clients Monday 8pm". Open email from annoying co-worker who can't ever..."What the fuck, why don't we have a Tassimo in our office" i have to figure out what I'm gonna wear tonight. Better yet how can I get out of going anywhere this evening.
(briefly looks out the window to clear my mind...only to return to computer screen to realize that FUCK I did not turn off my brain pattern hat whilst gazing out the window and fantasizing about the hot beefcake trainer at my gym. Computer screen is flooded with porn sites & risque photos that I've taken in my photobooth. Sidenote: look up Bukkake on Urban Dictionary at lunch time.)
Back to work, log into Facebook to check out where the most recent fleeting Los Angeles based electonic act is playing, I need to stop fucking around and get back to work... get back to email from useless co-worker, save in draft box until I can think up something snarky and witty to write back, see that my crush has signed onto ichat... set stopwatch so that I don't IM him too fast. Open tab in firefox window log in to Sourceecreative.com & creativityonline.com - begin reviewing all new commericals for week of May 1st, 2012 - IM bubble pops up from Crush. Try to ignore IM but keep glancing back at it. Log into Twitter to announce "I'm soooooo uninspired"
ok thats enough...sorry if it doesn't make any sense...imagine how i feel everyday.. :(

Goldstar Campaign - love
some found this campaign done by Saatchi & Saatchi (new york) ... (i think/hope that's accurate??) offensive... but how is it any different than the Heineken Clothes vs. Beer Fridge Commercial?.... just playing up stereotypes in a joking/fun manner in my opinion..

10 Reasons why Gay Marriage is "wrong".
Share
Tue 7:50pm
1) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.
2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
3) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.
4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.
5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Brittany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.
6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.
7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
 Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in the world.
9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.
10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans

holy girl crush on Lindy West...she's a girl right?
Read this holyridiculous article !!!!
a few excerpts:
People Who Care About "Tweet" Being the Verb Form of "Twitter" and Have Opinions About Its Usage
This includes people who think you should say "tweet" when you talk about the activity associated with Twitter and people who think you should just use the word "Twitter." These opinions are equally uninteresting. If you must use the Twitter, or not use the Twitter, just do it (or don't). Let's not bring grammar and logic and giving a shit into this.
People Who Claim to Be Afraid of Clowns
These people (and they are numerous) are attempting to cultivate a cute quirk, but they are really just aping a cute quirk cultivated by thousands of cute-quirk-cultivators before them in a giant, gross, boring feedback loop. Yes, clowns can be mildly creepy. But come on. Among the many things that are scarier than clowns: fire, earthquakes, a guy with a knife, riding the bus, colon cancer, falling down the stairs (it could happen at any time!), rapists, people who just kind of look a little rapey and are standing too close to you in line at 7-Eleven, Marlo from The Wire, influenza, and scissors.
People Who Will Just Have a Bite of Whatever You're Having
Please, please, please just order your own lasagna.
People Who Smile at You on the Street
It's always nice when any noncreepy stranger smiles at you. There is not enough interstranger smiling going on these days. I also appreciate it when people working in customer service behave in a genuinely nice manner. Thank you. Please enjoy this large tip for your wonderful smile.
People Who Believe in Sasquatch
What's that? You couldn't afford your bunion surgery because you spent all your money on Sasquatch detectors? And now your bunion hurts? Bummer. A few years ago, a friend of mine told me that he'd discovered the secret to finding Sasquatch (he's a believer because once, in an Idaho forest, he "heard things" that he "couldn't explain") and called some cryptozoological society to announce his epiphany: "Just find out what it eats, and then go to where that is." He and I, we are not friends anymore.
Wizards
Assholes with beards who do magic. In modern times, wizards look just like normal people, because they've learned to wear tracksuits and tuxedos over their robes. This means that wizards could be anywhere. Can you trust the people you work with not to be wizards?
Russians
Citizens of Russia. The sworn enemies of wizards.
Russian Wizards
Don't be ridiculous.
People Who Don't Know How to Navigate a Four-Way Stop or an Uncontrolled Intersection
Can a lady get a wave, please? Just a courtesy wave. That's all I ask. These people are under the impression that rules do not apply to them. They do not have to wait their turn because they are special. They are probably the worst people on this entire list, and that includes wizards.
People Who Are Bill Paxton
I really enjoyed your work in Twister.

paramour... you just don't know it yet
Help me out said the minnow to the trout
I was lost and found myself swimming in your mouth
Help me chief
I've got to plans for you and me
I swear upon this riverbed
I'll help you feel young again
Not your every day circumstance
Hummingbird taking coffee with the ants
Please, I know that we're different
We were one cell in the sea in the beginning
And what we're made of was all the same once
We're not that different after all
Help me out said the eagle to the dove
I've fallen from my nest so high above
Help me fly
I am too afraid try
Now saddled with a fear of heights
I'm praying you can set me right
Not your everyday circumstance
Elephant sharing peanuts with the rats
And I said
Please, I know that we're different
We were one cell in the sea in the beginning
And what we're made of was all the same once
We're not that different after all
We are tied in history
Connected like a family
Please, I know that we're different
We were one cell in the sea in the beginning
And what we're made of was all the same once
All the same
We're not that different after all
-the minnow & the trout - aff

beauty and sadness
my mom died when i was 14. i always imagine that she really decided to become a secret agent and fake her death to start a new identity.
sometimes i stand outside my front door planting things so that in the event she's spying on me, she'll know i love to garden now just like her. and i'm finally wearing my hair curly, like it is naturally.
