Album of discarded Johnny Cash songs released!

They are streaming exclusively at the GUARDIAN..

The songs are haunting, in some way.. I question first off if Johnny Cash really would have wanted these released—there’s nothing ‘bad’ about them but the fact they were discarded makes me think he just didn’t like them enough to release them.. But it’s haunting to hear his voice—as eerie as ever—so many years since his passing. One song, especially, was “Don’t you think it’s come our time" ..Something about that one reminded of a funeral scene, with flowers on grave sites for June Carter and Johnny.. very cool to hear his voice again .. but eerie just the same.

Condoms and coke on the way to the Vatican

Germans seize a massive cocaine shipment on its way to the VATICAN! 

Say it so Bergoglio!

We know the Pope was once a bouncer.

Maybe he hired on some of the folks he bounced..? But even more on that cocaine shipment story: The package sent to the Vatican from a South American country (yes the Pope is from there) contained 14 condoms filled with the coke.. 

And while no one is accusing Bergoglio of doing anything nefarious, clearly something nefarious is being done by someone..

Anyone have a Cardinal with the sniffles lately?

Seriously.. who DIDN’T jam to this DJ SAMMY BOYS OF SUMMER remake back in 2002 and 2003? My wife, who was then just a ‘friend,’ introduced me to it before we even knew we’d be married with a child. Weird how times change.. years change.. time goes on.

Rock on.

N.S.A. Breached Chinese Servers Seen as Security Threat

This is a big, big deal.

Thus, expect to hear little to nothing about it on your news station of choice.

N.S.A. Breached Chinese Servers Seen as Security Threat

When Oklahoma is crackin' stop your frackin'

Seriously.. anyone getting even a wee bit concerned over what our natural gas extraction may be doing to the planet in the long run? Or even short run? Like a 24-hour short run?

AP reporting this startling information Saturday night:

The U.S. Geological Survey has recorded 14 earthquakes in Oklahoma since about 9:30 p.m. Friday, the largest being a magnitude 4.0.

   The 4.0 magnitude quake was recorded at 10:05 p.m. Friday about seven miles south of Langston. Three other quakes of magnitude 2.9, 3.0 and 3.3 were recorded Saturday afternoon in the Medford area.

   The other quakes ranged from magnitude 2.4 to 2.9.

The energy industry is obviously denying that their fracking and gas extractions have anything to do with the uptick of quakes—but really, what else could they possibly say? Just admit it?

But are we fracked or just fracking? Take a quick gander at the comments section on this local Oklahoma news station’s story about the shaking in Oklahoma..  Some calling the frackster-hucksters ‘tree huggers’ while others are decrying gas companies. Everything is political these days. Even earthquakes.

As usual, as I do, follow DUTCH SINSE if you want some of the best up to the minute news and analysis on earthquakes around the planet.. And yes, he is pretty sure it has something to do with fracking, too.. Read more on there here..

Weird ritual at Berks County PA Memorial Gardens?

This is what 69 NEWS reports:

Decapitated chickens, pennies, pieces of coconut and heart candies were found on the grounds of the Berks County Memorial Gardens in Maidencreek Township this week.

People are left wondering now if the scene was that of animal cruelty or some religious sacrifice..

I know this from my paranormal investigations throughout the years.. There are Taiwanese beheading rituals involving chickens that are often still practiced today. There are also other ritualistic sacrifices of animals that tend to brew in Africa, as this article from 2012 illustrates ..

Also this: Hindus often use coconuts in their religious rituals..

But none of that really answers why coconuts, pennies, and candies surrounded the headless chickens in Memorial Gardens, but it hints at a possible lead.

Or it’s just kids with their damn pranks…..

Remember when the world celebrated the resignation of RT reporter Liz Wahl? Now it is revealed that a neo-con think tank helped engineer it

An author asserts: We are currently in the midst of what scientists consider the sixth mass extinction in planetary history, with between 150 and 200 species going extinct daily, a pace 1,000 times greater than the “natural” or “background” extinction rate. This event may already be comparable to, or even exceed, both the speed and intensity of the Permian mass extinction. The difference being that ours is human-caused, isn’t going to take 80,000 years, has so far lasted just a few centuries and is now gaining speed in a non-linear fashion.

I really can't believe I never knew about this

I met up with a friend who informed me that she went to a place called RetroCon. It’s filled with toys and nostalgia from my childhood.. and it’s only about 90 minutes away in Oaks, PA.. 

I really can’t believe I’ve heard about this now only for the first time. I do intend on making 2014 the year we get there..

Seriously.. how can you beat this.

Going old school this weekend—something about parades in the coal region remind me of my early childhood days of the 1980s.. But so much has changed in the coal region of Pennsylvania since the Reagan days of the shining cities on hills and Communist threats. Now we are faced with dilapidated structures and hardcore drugs running wild on the streets..

But it was still a decent day in Girardville as bagpipers played as beer guzzling parade goers cried until their kilts ran dry.. 

All we need is a miracle.. maybe a miracle… Maybe some day.

My Daily Doodle.. inspired by Ayden.

This is the Purple Nurple, and the Green Spleen. They are imaginary creatures that live in the corners of our house that come to Ayden before he goes to bed.

Introduced at bed time tonight: The Brown Frown.

Today’s daily doodle was done before the Brown Frown showed up..

War in the other Gulf?

A few weeks ago, we heard news of Iran moving a submarine to the United States East Coast and Russia moving a spy ship of some kind to Cuba.

Today we see this story from the NATIONAL JOURNAL: ‘COULD THE U.S. FACE A CRUISE MISSILE THREAT FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO?’

That should be a pretty startling question, really..

The United States has not been faced with such questions for some time. Terrorism brought a new form of illusive warfare to the shores of the United States.. but state run military threats were thought to be a thing of the past.

Until Iran made a ‘deal’ with us.. and until the breakdown of relations with Russia took place—despite those old weird photo ops featuring Hillary Clinton and reset buttons. 

This new NATIONAL JOURNAL article breaks it down this way:

Russia and Iran have been cited as possible threats that might, at some point, lurk in the waters just off U.S. shores.

Russia and Iran have been cited as possible threats that might, at some point, lurk in the waters just off U.S. shores.

A 2013 military exercise pitted systems such as Patriot interceptors, Aegis warships and combat aircraft against potential cruise-missile or short-range ballistic missiles fired from the Gulf. But the drill highlighted a particular vulnerability to cruise missiles lobbed from that region, U.S. Northern Command head Gen. Charles Jacoby indicated in congressional testimony last week.

 He said the Pentagon has “some significant challenges” in countering these missiles, but is exploring “some opportunities to use existing systems more effectively to do that.” Many detailed results of the Oct. 11 drill conducted near Key West, Fla., remain classified, Jacoby said.

But we need to ask the question, is this just more fear porn to grip the nation in a constant state of worry? Is it just another attempt to vilify Russia and Iran without just cause? Or is it possible that the threat is real..?

There are strange military moves happening.. weird moved around the world.. tensions are building and budding.

The reset did happen.

The funny things you hear at a Girardville Saint Patrick's day parade

"I tried to get my doctor to give me Aderall and he said no, and I’m like ‘come on man,’" said the underage teenager as he passed by with a green container clearly containing Miller Lite

Better shoes.. Going green for a Saint Patrick’s days parade in Girardville PA. This time I match.

Incidentally my wife wanted me to wear my orange sneakers. So an IRISH themed parade?! Obviously not today, I didn’t want to start an international incident.

Hawaii law lets police have sex with prostitutes

Police haven’t said how often they’ve use their powers.. Regardless, I’d assume if you have common sense or decency, you’ll see why this may be an issue, right? Just a bit of an issue..

Hawaii law lets police have sex with prostitutes

Breaking schmreaking..

Chuck Todd seems pretty hot under his political collar at CNN for labeling too much non news ‘breaking news’..

I’m with him on this one—CNN overdoes it. But so does FOX NEWS, perhaps even more. They overdo their loud DINGGGGGGGG echo noise each time they begin a new hour.. they say “HAPPENING NOW!” as though the world is ending.

But it never does. Instead all of the networks simply rehash the same news over and over again, calling it ‘breaking’….

The only thing I can say about NBC is this: They could be guilty of it too.. lest we forget they interrupted a Congresswoman to go live to Justin Bieber’s arraignment.. Chuck Todd may have forgotten ..

But really..

The only time I know that ‘breaking news’ is REALLY BREAKING NEWS is when NBC sends off their chimes of death. THAT is when the world does end..

This is what happens when you get dressed in the dark! One of these shoes is not like the other.. The right one nice , the left one from an old pair I do work around the house in..

The good thing is nobody really noticed, I played it pretty well. Every time someone started to glanced through my feet, I would begin to either walk fast or perform some sort of a slow-motion Irish step dance routine, anything I had to do to throw off their gaze..

And anyway, my backup plan was always to say that I did it on purpose. You know, good luck or something like that..

This is how hot dogs are made.

My friend sent me the video.. I am not a hot dog eater, unless there’s that guilty moment during a hot summer barbecue when you pile ketchup and raw onions on one and devour it..

Nonetheless, for the good of the order, here’s the way we get our salty mushed up ‘trimmings’ from animals parts that are better left ground up and mushed than whole.

What surprised me more than anything, to be honest, was how clean and sanitary the whole process is. 

Pig and chicken farms and cow slaughterhouses are much worse..

Hot dogs being made? Disgusting yes. But pretty darn clean,it would seem.

Until you see those weird chunks of chunky somethings in your tube of encased meat-like processed filth…

Horror Hit ‘The Grudge’ Going Reboot Route

I just don’t get it..

The GRUDGE is getting a reboot—seriously?? DEADLINE reported it, so it’s probably true..

But remember this: The 2004 movie cost about $10 mil to make and grossed almost $200 mil worldwide that year—and they are going to do a reboot?

When they don’t have to?

Insane in the membrane.
