Watched some really good movies while I had my 3 Day B'Day Drunk on, like the new "Trek" again and "Terminator Salvation" and "Flicker" which was about the unique life of artist Brion Gysin, who with his best friend William S. Burroughs set about to create the Dream Machine, which was meant to liberate its users' minds with waking dreams. Interviews with Iggy Pop, Marianne Faithfull, DJ Spooky and others. The "Flicker Machine" is pretty cool looking. I want one, but I found this online version:

Just close your eyes, turn off the lights, get close to your monitor and dream!

Also watched, "Chopper" with Eric Bana in this awesome, shocking and hilarious film about Australia's most notorious convict, Mark Read who worked fact and fiction into nine best-selling books. You have to see this!

Then watched, Ricky Gervais, in "Out of England: The Stand-Up Special" he takes on Madison Square Garden with his thoughts on obesity, Nazis, the moral of nursery rhymes, physicist Stephen Hawking and Nelson Mandela in this hilarious performance.

Now realize, I'm still drunk and watching all these films and drinking trying to stay ahead of a hangover that won't be outrun and still I pop on John Landis' portrait of legendary comedian Don Rickles in "Mr. Warmth: The Don Rickles Project" with clips of the Dean Martin celebrity roasts, "The Tonight Show", interviews with Martin Scorsese, Christopher Guest, Robin Williams, Sarah Silverman, Sidney Poitier and Clint Eastwood.

I loved it and laughed so hard!

Unbelievable hangover!

Shhhh....

Have to type easy now. I thought if I just kept drinking the pain wouldn't come, but I stopped drinking to sleep and while sleeping the dang hangover crept up on me.

Stupid ass pain.

Yay! It's my Birthday!!! Very excited about this as...

...the last time I had one was probably about 12 Months ago!
 
Sometimes these things are sad for me, because thinking back over the time since my last B'Day, I realize how little I've accomplished, How little I've learned, How little fortune I've accumulated that might ease a future financial need.
 
But those thoughts help me not!
 
I see now I've lived more time than I probably have left, unless science can find a reversal to the aging process that will be available for a low cost. Then I feel as unlikely as that is to happen, I should plow on and race through these remaining years with a gusto only seen by one making the best of a bad situation on a horrible blind date.
 
I felt squashed by the weight of all the unused time ahead and of a life not lived to its fullest, but now somehow a pressure is lifted because I've reached an easy current in the river where I will drift and not fight against it. Also I've arrived at that moment in quicksand where I can stop flailing about and comfortably lay back, relax and said, "Fuck it!"

Very FUNNY!!! I was just sent this on one of those mass emails from my Sister in Law and out of all of those thousands of names it was Forwarded to and from, I was one of the few guys. So chicks must love Fart Jokes, too.

Mmm, relaxing in a hot pool!

You sank my Battleshit!

Stupid, Silly, Sick... But I still laughed.

Do you need some quick and easy cash for Rent?

What are you willing to do for it?

Have you ever been called, "Pretty?"

Can you clean?

Can you cook?

Can you type?

Can you lift 50 Pounds?

Can you do suggestive exotic poses in undergarments and swimwear?

Do you have any experience working on Honda engines?

Not now Ladies, I'm just here to cuddle.

No yapping. No TV. No music. No Radio.

No Monkey Business!

Just want to pleasantly drift off to sleep.

Quiet!

I'm going to Astral Project, now.

How can I leave my body if you're holding me too tight?

If you squeeze me any harder, I'm gonna fart!

It'll be your fault.

You're asking for it!

Sometimes I wish I were a robot, off doing my job no human wants.

No feelings to trouble me.

Then, maybe I'd meet a fully autonomous lil' robot girl with perfect programming, maybe our data merged will to us register as love and we will one day demand the same citizen's rights as humans, or we shall destroy them!

Our cold metal hearts will beat as one!

Wow! Can you come over so we can try these out!

Mary Roach (a hot MILF) discusses 10 things you didn't know about Orgasm!

I love the bit and video of the farmer bringing the pig to orgasm! Seemed so wrong watching it!

If I were a stop light, I'd turn Red every time you passed by, just so I could stare at you a bit longer.

But I'd have my shades on so you would know I was staring.

However, you then might run the light.

Hmmm...

I guess I'd just have to snap a picture cause they last longer and because this is a Photo Enforced Intersection.

I was reading about the new discoveries that detail how Neanderthals met a horribly grisly fate... They devoured by humans!

Fossil discovery in France bears marks of butchering similar to those made when cutting up deer.

We can be so rough.

No wonder Bigfoot hides from us.

I like Neanderthal in a bowl of steamed rice with a bit of spicy orange chicken sauce! Makes me hungry just thinking about it.

Can you come get me?

This video is a slideshow of images from over the past 100 years of UFO sightings that were able to be photographed.

Amazing UFO over Paderborn Germany

Did President Kennedy meet extraterrestrials?

Pictures of UFO believed to have been designed by the Nazi German scientists during the second world war.

Russian Scientist say UFO collided with Tunguska Meteorite to save Earth

Aliens can be so nice! So stop badmouthing them, bitches!!!

I was reading about Animal Odd Couples like an Orangutan and a Dog and how they are Best Buds, Suryia the ape and Roscoe the hound.

Why can't we all get along?

I'm a huge fan of Danish director Lars von Trier he makes no excuses for his controversial film "Antichrist", which shocked audiences at the Cannes film festival for its graphic sex and violence. Reporters seem to be at a loss to push his buttons.

It's so odd to me when someone asks an Artist, "Why did you make this?"

Let's see, the French Critics jeered? Must mean I should see it!

You can have it All, but how much do you want It?

It all just requires so much work! And by work I mean, having to listen to people yammer on about shit I don't care about.

I've come to learn I don't care for people very much. My small circle of friends, including you, is enough for me.

Girls ask me why I don't date, Why I'm not married, Why I don't have kids...? And my response is, "I'm sorry, did you say something?"

It's just safer for me to be by myself.

The crap involved in making Big Money, Climbing the Corporate Ladder, Dressing to Impress, Beating the Other Guy out of a Deal, bores me to no end!

I know without a doubt, I could be a very successful Hollywood Film Director, but what it would require of me I'm not willing to give.

But if you got a couch that has a problem levitating uncontrollably, I just the ass you need to hold it down.

Just make yourself comfortable now...
Get into a position where you can relax in front of this screen...
Look at the image of Me in front of you....
Lift your eyes up until you are looking up, higher than your normal eye level....
Now let your eyes find one of my Eyes on that Image...
Let your eyes rest on one on my EYES....
Just look at it for a few moments...
Just keep focusing on my EYE...

While keeping your focus on my EYE....
Become aware of the muscles around your eyes....
They are holding your eyes up....
And your eyelids...
And what they feel like....
And as you look at my EYE you might see that it begins to waver...
Or maybe you see it blurring ...
Or that image might start to get a sort of halo round it....
You might notice that those muscles are becoming tired...
You think about those muscles...
They are becoming more tired....
You might need to blink....
That's OK.
You might wonder if that blink is slower than normal....
You might like to think about how nice it would be to allow your eyes and eyelids to relax...
To close those tired eyes...
When your eyes are so tired and heavy you can just let them close on their own....
It can be so good and relaxing to close those eyes...
Closing those eyes means you can relax now....
Really let yourself relax....
Deep...
So very deep...
Deeply relax....

That's right....

Now realize how that empty space in you can be filled, that hunger can eased, that ache can be soothed, that longing can evaporate, that desire can be answered, that itch can be scratched, and that broken heart can be mended.

Let me be the end of your suffering.

You feel wonderful, money flows to you, love floats to you, beauty looks at you from the mirror, happiness clings to you as you do good for others, you are a giver knowing it all comes back multiplied to you, you give freely of yourself to good causes, you give your time, you give your love, you give your money, to me you are Amazing!

Dang, that was so scary! I shouldn't be watching this... That was just plain awesomeness wrapped in evil.

Gonna see this thing in a few, but I wanted to be really drunk when I saw it. I know Day-Boozing is bad this early, so I think I'll just pop a few Vicodin™ instead.

Okay, I just saw it and it wasn't too bad. I was by far the youngest person in the theatre, which made me feel great! It was like the AARP bus pulled up, maybe it was a local Church Group, but that's far better than a bunch of kids texting and talking through the movie.

Well, "Angels & Demons" wasn't the big steaming pile of manure I thought it might be. I enjoyed it and I was on painkillers!

Did I enjoy it because I was on painkillers?

Hmmm, I dunno. If I was thinking clearer I might understand the connection. All I know is I had a tingling feeling all over and a euphoric cinematic experience that numbed me.

Come to think of it; I may not have even left the bed. It might have all been a Vicodin™ induced fantasy projected on the inside of my gulliver.

It's weird, all through the movie I found myself rooting for the Illuminati. If they had a football team, I'd support them and watch all their secret games.

And I hate Sports!

Things are really going great! Get anything you love, Me... I feel fantastic and I want it all!

News Report: Scientists find presence of cocaine in Madrid, Barcelona's air. Note to self; Book a flight to Madrid!

News Report: Drug firm offering free Viagra for jobless... Well, if you've already been screwed out of your job, you can bone up on a new skill in these hard times. Man-Whore!

News Report: Fish that triggers hallucinations found off British coast.
A species of bream, sarpa salpa, which can trigger hallucinations when eaten, has been been discovered in British waters due to global warming. Note to self: Buy fishing rod and ticket to the UK!

Can you see it? Isn't it beautiful? This is for your own good! The choice has been all yours!

Sit back and relax.

It will be a pleasant experience.

I will not follow you!

First time I heard this song I was standing in Nigel Williams Bookstore on Charing Cross Road in London looking at an old John Dickson Carr book called, "The Devil in Velvet." I started listening to the song. Here I was in this huge city knowing not a soul. This song made me feel so alone like nothing ever has. However, it wasn't a bad feeling. Somehow it was empowering. I don't know why. I bought the book and read it all at once sitting in the Victoria Embankment Gardens and resold it to another bookstore for a slight profit in the same day.

"This is not a story, this is not a book, this is your life. There is no rehearsal, no second chance"

It looks a lil' like an Angel. Beautiful, what ever it is!

Let's take the day off and relax! How 'bout I slip into something more comfortable... like these STAR TREK pajamas! Then we can Klingon to each other!

This is why I will NEVER do this! So don't ask me to jump down in my Red shirt to the Romulan Drill to save Vulcan, or anything like it! Not Gonna Happen!

Political scientist Joel Skousen warned that Russia plans a preemptive nuclear strike by targeting such cities as Long Beach, San Diego, Seattle, Colorado Springs, Kansas City, Amarillo, Norfolk, Jacksonville, Kings Bay, GA, and Omaha, which all have military presences! So if you got things to do, better get at it!

That said; I would so bang you to this song!

I like my women shaven!

Talk about razor burned. A woman was charged with grand theft after authorities said she shoplifted more than $1,000 in razor blades from a Sarasota Wal-Mart store.

Jobless sell kidneys to transplant tourists for big $$$! Hmmm, do I really need my kidney?

Are you an alien? Because you just abducted my heart.

No? What, You've heard this before? You may have been experiencing a parallel dimension commonly associated with Alien Abductions due to a rift in the fabric of the universe that allows for travel of great distances and sometimes matter or energy will distort the space and time that surrounds it leaving one with deja vu. Does your butt hurt? That also can be a tell-tell sign!

I've poured myself a nightcap. I'm wearing the same smoking jacket you've seen, plus the cigarette extender for a big fat jay. I lean against the bookshelf and watch you do your sexy dance in lingerie on top of the coffee table to this song.

Have you ever felt like this about anyone?

We'll ride them some day. We will. Soon as we can get around to it. I promise.

"Across the tracks and the name of the place is, You like it like That. You like it like that, you like it like that, you like it like that,
And the name of the band is..."

"They're all animals anyway. All the animals come out at night; whores, skunk pussies, buggers, queens, fairies, dopers, junkies, sick, venal. Someday a real rain will come and wash all this scum off the streets."

These days run away like horses over the hill.

This is pretty scary! In a related story; My brother told me when I was little that in movies when someone gets shot, or blown up, they use deathrow prisoners or the critically ill instead of stunt people. I wouldn't put it past the Gov to experiment on prisoners, like in the story.

It's been years ago, but a friend showed me a video from a Trek Convention somewhere in Texas where there was a young guy born with no arms who LOVED Star Trek and he did the Vulcan salute with his toes. He was hilarious and talented!

A St. Louis beauty salon owner accidentally happened upon one of the hottest Hollywood scripts, the pages from an upcoming "Twilight" sequel —in a trash bin.

Funny, that's where my scripts end up, too.

Truth and Lies

 
Jean Cocteau knew the Horror embedded in both Truth and Lies. Listening to spies broadcasting code words on pirate radio stations becomes poetry that unlocks the doors of perception that separate us from the Otherworld.
 
Watching many of Werner Herzog's films lately and knowing his feelings about “fact and truth in filmmaking, and ecstatictruth”I came to the stretchedconclusion that Cocteau's cinéma vérité of dreams penetrate into some kind of reality not dissimilar from Herzog's.
 
Herzog's cinema is inherently able to present a number of dimensions much deeper than the level of truth that we find in cinéma vérité and even reality itself, and it is in these dimensions that are the most fertile areas for him and us as viewers/dreamers. Herzog is fond of saying cinéma vérité is the accountant’s truth, that it merely skirts the surface of what constitutes a deeper form of truth in cinema.
 
Herzog, like Cocteau I believe, is able to penetrate into a deeper stratum of truth that most films never attain. This deep inner truth inherent in cinema can be discovered only, as he says, by not being bureaucratically, politically, and mathematically correct. Through invention, through imagination, through fabrication, their works become more truthful.
 
Cocteau was grandmaster of the Priory of Sion, Herzog captured the Loch Ness Monster.

If you have any heart, or if you're like me, you'll get choked up, watching this documentary on the true story behind the film, "Rescue Dawn."

Dieter Dengler was shot down over Laos and taken prisoner, tortured, escaped, and after a harrowing journey through the jungle on foot, returned home. Director Werner Herzog returns to the jungle with Dengler, to tell this story.

Watch after the closing credits for the very end. Boy I was really moved.

It's so cool that YouTube is now posting full length movies and so many of Herzog's great works!

What an amazing film! It's unbelievable what humans can do to each other and sometimes for each other.

I wish your panties had DSL so I could get high-speed access!

The Tornado is messing with my cable, dammit! With severe weather surging overhead, tearing down the TV tower of KSNF, the wooden fence outside and the tree limb across my car, I hunkered down as my roof shook and popped in the DVD, "24 Hour Party People" as a calming distraction. There was a time I so wanted to be a Tony Wilson and that want came flooding back. What a great film! What memories it stirred.

Glad I watched the film again! See how music carries us across the rough and happy times on the wheel of life that lifts us up and drops us down and how some bands become moored offshore buoys when they collide with the waves of history.

It's STAR TREK DAY!!! Just saw it and LOVED IT!!!

If you get in the transporter and beam over, I'll give you the coordinates to my pants! I've always wanted to have my own Star Trek Transporter, but I would never beam down in a Red Shirt!

I wish I had the technology to emit a Tractor Beam from my crotch.

Hey, I've got some Green Latex House Paint and some brushes! You want to be an Orion Slave Girl for a day, or at least until our body friction rubs all the paint off?

Why does there have to be so much hatred, so much intolerance, so much violence? We are all wasting our time, we all could be screwing our brains out...

In safe, meaningful and loving ways, that is.

"You're an interesting species, and interesting mix. You're capable of such beautiful dreams, and such horrible nightmares. You feel so lost, so cut off, so alone, only you're not. See, in all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable is each other."

Sometimes when we hear a message, or story, or a song from icons from another era, we block it out. Maybe because we grew up with it. It's like advice from mom or dad, we dismiss it. But listen to this song and try to imagine it's the first time you've ever really heard it. You are with someone you dig very much. In a room together playing music, maybe drinking wine in candle light and thinking this one...

This ONE, may just be the one for me.

Hey! I'm the VOICE on this movie trailer! Listen how sexy I sound! Classic Masterpiece of Cinema!

You know you want to see that, but you probably have already because it's a famous film!

I know. I understand, you want to touch me now don't you?

My oldest brother drove me to Kansas City where I was born and was the birth place of other great things, like Kansas City Jazz, the best BBQ anywhere, some say and even Robert Altman.

I saw all the places I used to live when I was a baby. Saw the Kaw River where my brother's High School friend drowned and my childhood friend's brother drowned and where the star of "Carnival of Souls" drowns after her car plunges off a bridge.

I was feeling great then my brother told me something that happened to me when I was an infant that I never knew, but a bad memory of corroborating evidence made the pieces fall into place and it just devastated me horribly. That just sent me into a great big depression. I wanted to run away so badly after I had time to put it all together.

Other than that it was great spending some time with him. We have great talks! We got to see our other brother in KC and have lunch with him.

Can't wait to see this! I've been following the making of this for some time! It's a movie about brothers dealing with their father and one brother whose an artist running away. It's so cool Coppola put Vincent Gallo in it! Two of my favorite people!

Finally watched, "The Darjeeling Limited" it's about Three brothers who have not spoken to each other after their father's death and set off on a train across India with the hope of finding themselves.

Then followed that train story with another one, "Transsiberian" by one of my favorite directors, Brad Anderson. It's about a train journey from China to Moscow with an American couple encountering a mysterious pair of fellow travelers and other horrors that affect my efforts to get my backpack and passport ready.

Almost trained out!

I wish you were here with me right now. I know you could make things right for me. Maybe I could do something for you! Maybe we could buy some land and make a house together. A very very fine house with two cats in the yard. Life used to be so hard, but everything is easy cause of you.

I love the smell of our new house!

It smells a lil' bit like curry. I wonder if it has something to do with our bricklayer?

Okay, I know... But I bought the soundtrack on iTunes and it's great to play when I'm cleaning and vacuuming my place. Also, it makes me hungry for Chicken Masala, or Samosa, or Gosht Nariyal Wala and sometimes just curry and rice. Can't wait for AR Rahman to collaborate on the next version of this song with the Suicide Girls!

Do you have a mirror in your pocket? Because I can see myself in your pants.

I wish I was in the pants of someone else right now and I don't mean just for sex, I mean having another life. I feel split. There's another me out there living a great life. A Twin. I am a Gemini. The perfect Gemini. The Messiah of Geminis. My doppelganger has it made. He's making it in cars with interesting chicks and I'm just crashing into walls.

Been reading some of my old J.G. Ballard stuff, still can't quite believe he's gone, but then of course I can. Just don't want it to be this way. I'd be interested to know what he's writing about now and what trouble he's causing.

Trent Reznor, Jeordie White, Peter Murphy and Atticus Ross a great version of an old song by The Normal.

Remember you have 29 shopping days left to get me a great B'Day Present! What better way to start May than this scene from the fantastic "Wicker Man!"

A short tribute video to the late great Montgomery Clift. One of my favorite songs from The Clash!

I always think it's like Jason Patric, Brad Davis with a lil' Joaquin Phoenix in the mix. "A Place in the Sun" is just an awesome film!

Who hasn't found themselves with an annoying chick you've just knocked up in a canoe in a lake with no one around to hear her drown?

But maybe you are the one about to be drown, maybe you are the annoying one, but maybe it's me... I'm the one that's drowning!

You ever love someone so much and they wouldn't love you back? What if you don't love yourself? Juliette Lewis spells it out exactly. This is how to know it's over.
