The Official Song of the 2008 Olympics: Welcome to Beijing -- Please Ignore the Communism.

My apologies for reposting, Bride of Porkins, but it's just too perfect.

Be on the lookout for Jackie Chan.

Our new firewall blocks YouTube so I will have to take your word for it.

Did you see these Chinese propaganda posters?

Some of them are pretty cool.

No apologies needed, this gave me an excuse to watch it again. HAHA

I've caught this song in playing my head a few times, at first I thought it was just that I liked the tune, but now I'm wondering if it's got anything to do with me being happy for all the Chinese gold medalists. Hmm.

ZW: Damn firewalls. I did enjoy the propaganda posters and was sufficiently creeped out, a la James Clavell's "The Children's Story" or Animal Farm. Geeg.

BoP: Thanks again for that! It was enjoyed all across my constituency!

TC: I thought so.

Heff: I guess he relished the opportunity to do anything that didn't involve reinjuring himself.

LBB: Me too!

RM: I will do my best scouring the web for the funny. It consumes my life to a degree, but we all have to LOL don't we?

Heff: School has started, so I've been actually working! I shall return ASAP!

Shredding, Slamming Fun

Yeah, I'm closer to 40 than 14, but that doesn't mean I can't pretend to be in that band I always wanted to be in. And no, I can't play the guitar for real, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy the tar out of this game. In fact, that's the whole POINT. The second version of this Playstation 2 diversion, called Guitar Hero as you can see here, just came out, but I'm too busy woodshedding on a borrowed version of the first one to care about that yet. At first, I sucked so thoroughly the game kicked me out of the song and the crowd booed. Yet now, I can successfully hit 80-96% of the notes on average of tunes ranging from Boston's "More Than A Feeling" to Audioslave's "Cochise." The cool thing is, songs you don't even like much and dismiss as crap, you get new respect for when you try to play them. You also learn how Nikki Sixx must have felt when his fingers and forearms ached from the amount of rockin' he was doing, but...

Very Sad News

Hi everyone, Because friends share in good things and bad and this is important to me, I thought you all might like to know. My mom, who had been battling many health problems, especially during the past few years, passed away Friday night. She was not a perfect person, but her love for me was. I figure if you want to know more, you'll ask. But if I don't seem quite myself for awhile, that's why. Thanks.

Two Years

Two years I've been writing this. Two years. Most of you and I have known each other for most of that span. Why is it so hard to believe, the constant flow of time? -------------------------------- Reality is a question of perspective; the further you get from the past, the more concrete and plausible it seems -- but as you approach the present, it inevitably seems incredible. -- Salman Rushdie
