hate is a four letter word
Wednesday, 28th February 2007
A part of me just wants to leave this alone because it’s so… dumb, actually.
A writer for a local asian weekly publication in San Francisco recently wrote a rather negative and racist article called, “Why I Hate Blacks“.
I mean, why publish such racist b.s.?
And the guy’s logic is really screwy, as if he really needs to get his head examined. And that’s all I have to say, other than this advice to the person who wrote the article… try LOVE, it’s the better alternative!

pauma valley country club
Monday, 26th February 2007
Yesterday I performed at the Pauma Valley Country Club, drumming for singer Donnie Finnell.
Donnie and keyboardist Gary Wilson performed a wedding reception in Malibu last night, so I was wondering how they would hold out for this Sunday Brunch gig. They did fine, and we started on time. I was worried myself because Pauma Valley is almost an hour drive and we started at 10am. I did fine, but today I’m feeling quite tired. Haven’t performed a Sunday Brunch gig in a while.
They loved us, and they want us back. So, it looks promising that we’ll gig there again. Once again, those old classic Sinatra tunes went over well, like “Fly Me To The Moon”, “The Way You Look Tonight”, and “Beyond The Sea”.
Everything You Wanted To Know About Flatulence
Saturday, 24th February 2007
Wikipedia.org presents a most thorough and surprisingly detailed explanation on the subject of flatulence right here. I confess I’m quite surprised at the space devoted to this. But, of course, we all know how this is VERY important information:
…as a result of the voluntary or involuntary tensing of the anal sphincter, the rapid evacuation of gases from the lower intestine occurs through the anus, which, usually depending upon the relative positioning of each buttock, may or may not result in an audible crackling or trumpeting sound. This is often perceived as being humorous or socially awkward. The process may also result in the emission of odor, often deemed foul in character…
And Wikipedia’s page explains the “social considerations” involved!
While the act of farting is generally considered to be an unfortunate (but sometimes intentionally contrived) occurence in public settings, a flatus may, in casual circumstances, be used as either a humorous supplement to a joke, or as a comic activity in and of itself. usually accompanied by a distinct odor and sound, a process known informally as farting, or as passing gas.
Intentionally contrived?
And Wikipedia further explains the “mechanism of action”, and keywords like “vibration”, “tightness”, “pitch”, even… and the fact that flatulence can occur accidentally… oh my!
The noises commonly associated with flatulence are caused by the vibration of the anal sphincter, not by the buttocks. The sound varies depending on the tightness of the sphincter muscle and velocity of the gas being propelled, as well as other factors such as water and body fat. The pitch of the flatulence outburst can also be affected by the anal embouchure. Among humans, sometimes farting happens accidentally, such as incidentally to coughing or sneezing; on other occasions, intentional farting occurs through the tensing and releasing of the anal sphincter.
Um, well… you’ll have to read the whole page. It’s pretty thorough!
Gigantic 100 metres deep hole appears in city. Amazing pictures!
Saturday, 24th February 2007
By now I’m sure everyone has heard of the giant sinkhole that killed two teenagers and roughly 330 feet deep. These pictures are amazing! Pretty scary stuff.
“A giant sinkhole swallowed several homes and at least one truck early Friday in Guatemala City. Unbelievable pictures of the gigantic hole!”

This is the kind of film that you’re either going to immediately love, or hate. Well, I saw this when it first came out in the theaters last year and loved it. Though, the themes and stories within are somewhat depressing and randomly interconnected in a tragic way. Read more
