The wrong man was executed.

OK.
So, Walter Matthau was born Oct 1st 1920. He supposedly died July 2000. I say supposedly because anyone who has been paying attention knows that Hussein was removed from power prior to Sept 2001. He was killed and replaced by an actor who the world had already said goodbye to.
Walter has now been wrongfully hung from the gallows by people who were led to believe that he was more than just a puppet of the US Gov.

Some may say that this is silly or improbable. I say, we helped put Saddam in power, why wouldnt we have the same power to replace him with someone who would read our scripts?

We will miss you Saddam Walter!

Audio / Video syncronization

BACKGROUND:
I was attempting to disprove the Pink Floyd theory stating they intentionally created “Dark Side of the Moon” to match up with “The Wizard of OZ”. During this process, I found just how easy it was to take any random section of video from a movie or TV series and sync it up with music. Generally this can be done in a matter of 3-10 minutes depending on the music collection available. This video is one example of what I have found.

There are other notable syncronizations out there. many can be located on YouTube or Google video. Here are SOME examples:

The final segment 2001 Space Odyssey sync’d with Floyd’s song Echoes. This was by far better than any OZ segment hands down.
(Watch Video, 25 minutes)

today has been relaxing and nice. I have been busy as hell and yet i am not feeling it.

there are two reasons for this.. $40 in coffee and a candle lit lunch. both are described below.

a few days back it was decided that the coffee robot at my work was eating the proverbial ass, and then made the coffee we wanted. we recently switched beans and performed a massive overhaul cleaning of the robot and for a month or so, the coffee was palatable. now it is back to nasty sludge. to resolve this, i brought in my french press and decided i would make good coffee every day and remove the robot from my personal coffee drinking equation.the roasts that we have in office are so/so. the better of the two is a dark roast kilimanjaro. my

i received an email today that contained a miniature family tree. it showed all of my immediate family and 1st cousins along with contact info and birthdays. when did everyone growup? nearly all of my cousins appear to have offspring that i was unaware of. They all have names and stuff even. almost as if they are real? but are they? i have never seen them. they have never spoken to me, spit up on me, thrown things at me, smiled at me. so far as i can tell, they are just fabrications, information told person to person in order to construct someones reality and define their space. but are they really there?

For now i will assume that the branches described are real, but i will require proof eventually. no one in my family will be collecting money and or benefits from falsified paperwork showing they… Read the rest
