The Blarney Blowout in Massachusetts turned a bit violent today. Cops in riot gear had to stop college kids from blocking traffic and throwing snowballs and beer cans..
Kids kept drinking.
That’s a party.

There is precedent for a jetliner going missing. But it's still weird.
How can a Boeing 777-200ER passenger jet go missing for more than a day? Turns out, it’s not so easy.
Interesting story..
This is a very troubling situation—and mysterious. A plane vanishing from radar and now, with stolen passports becoming an issue, the question is being asked: Accident or purposeful?
At one point, this whole story reminded me of the plot of LOST.
Albeit the story may have more of a closure than the show LOST did, it still remains bizarre that a plane could vanish from site..
There are oil slicks being studied—but oil without wreckage. Odd again.
Still watching as the story evolves.. But so far it’s been chilling.
There is precedent for a jetliner going missing. But it's still weird.
News reports say Vietnamese pilots have spotted 'rubbish' and oil in the ocean between Vietnam and Malaysia....but
VIETNAMESE AIRCRAFT HAVE SPOTTED LIQUID AND ‘RUBBISH’ ON THE SURFACE OF WATER OVERLAPPING MALAYSIA AND VIETNAM.. That report is appearing on CNN.
But at this point we only know this: The plane vanished from radar and all this time later, we still don’t know where it is or what happened to it.
There’s information countering the CNN report of liquid and rubbish. A very recent report from Malaysia airlines said that search and rescue teams have failed to find any evidence of a crashed plane..
I cannot fathom the horror and grief of knowing deep down what happened but still holding out hope that your loved ones made it..
This has been one of the weirdest 24 hours of news ever.. a plane vanishing for hours and now, after all this time, finally signs that the mystery may have a tragic end.
But the worst of all? Friday night LIGHTS OUT at the big cable networks..
I already wrote about that on my other website the HORROR REPORT, linked here. Our “news” is lazy.. completely..
I suppose we’re all still praying, or doing what we do spiritually, for those aboard MH370. But the signs are becoming evident that the souls on board this flight have gone on to another realm.. either through plane crash or some weird Twilight Zone version of reality.

We have no idea what has happened to this plane.
SPOKESPERSON for Malaysian Airlines, quoted by CNN’s Piers Morgan, regarding Flight MH 370, from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
The airline is holding a press conference in less than an hour.

This is just creepy.
As things would have it..
There are a events now and then in life that cause me to question reality, existence.. chance.. cause.. coincidence.. One such event took place today.
I was driving my son Ayden home from day care when I went around a sharp turn on the road, narrowly avoiding a giant rock that apparently became disconnected from its home at the top of the mountain. I saw the rock and had enough time to artfully dodge it..
The first thought I had as I drove on was that someone else would hit the rock—and quite possibly my wife driving home from work or someone else close to me. I decided to turn around.
After about another half mile, I found a safe place to turn.. Finally, arriving back at the rock, I pulled off the side of the road the best I could, knowing that I needed to be quick due to the speed of vehicles and the nature of the highway. As I got out of my car, the rock wasn’t just a rock; it was a boulder. Close up, I saw how enormous it actually was.
And just as quick as I stepped one foot out of my car, another car was heading dead straight for the boulder. It made contact.. both tires slammed over top of the of the piece of the mountain and the car did a 180 degrees spin before my eyes.
I moved the rock, which had to weight at least 60 pounds, to the side and then drove behind the person who hit the stone. She was safe, and the child in the back of her car was safe, but rattled by the bounce.. Before leaving the scene, I made certain that she had a ride and that she was fine. The car was not, though.. both tires were shredded.
So it brings up some questions in my mind.
First off.. if I would have decided to turn around a minute sooner, I may have arrived before she had the chance to made contact with the hazard, thus saving her the miserable Friday night mishap.. But as fate would have it, that didn’t occur.
The other thought was how set on turning around I was. How immense of an issue it was for me to do it.. I felt that if I did not go back and take that rock off the road, someone would be hurt, or worse. So the fact I witnessed someone do what I feared was a bit of a shock.
And finally, I wondered this: Did my turning around to go back set into motion the series of events that ruined this woman’s car, but perhaps saved the life of someone else?
I don’t know.
If the multiverse theory has any credence, an infinite amount of simultaneously happened. It just so came to be that I was in the universe where people were safe but tires were destroyed.
I just cannot shake the feeling that I need to go back.. almost that I knew something was going to happen. Or someone would be hurt.
So the fact I witnessed before my eyes the very event I had a premonition of really has my scratching my head.
Coincidence, you may say. And you may be right.
Maybe.
Apparently young conservative women love Rand Paul.
Maybe it’s that tussle of Confederate Soldier style hair.. perhaps it’s how he looks in a doctor’s coat.. Maybe it’s the hot filibuster.
Or maybe it’s because he’s more attractive than this:
Irony? I don't know ...
Newsweek ran a big cover story on Bitcoin and they outed the founder.
Newsweek has been digital for 15 months—like Bitcoin. But they picked their Bitcoin cover and story to appear in the first issue that they are back in print on newstands again.
I am confused..
Bitcoin.. crypto-currency. Virtual money..
Newsweek.. virtual paper and now real paper.
The world is back asswards sometimes.

The forecasters who cried snow
Winter weary.. Weather changing. This weekend will be just fine, with clocks being set ahead and a taste of spring reportedly on the way.. What else could go wrong!? Winter is over, if you want it. OR.. not. For days now, the weather forums I frequent have been talking about an impressive and large storm coming around the middle of March. And just in time for that, models are now picking up a big event for next week.. However, we’ve recently been down this path. Just last week, forecasters were confident and scary by saying 20 inches or more of snow was set to fall on millions—so a grain of road salt may be in order watching this forecast evolve.
What models are showing, at this hour, is an impressive Nor’Easter like storm hitting the East Coast.
Other reputable weather forecasters don’t believe it..
So weather is like politics now. Take a side..
The models are running cold—which means that opposed to spring like Southern air dominating the storm, there will be an onset of cold Arctic air to turn precipitation frozen. If it happens.
If any of this happens.
As mentioned, there were frightening days leading up to the big storm that never was last week—bread and milk sold out for no reason.
But the trouble is, even if a storm was set to strike it’s like the forecaster who cried wolf!
The sky didn’t fall last week. Neither did snow.
So people may be hit hard and they won’t even have bread and milk to feast on..
We’ll be watching this one since we are in the target area for blizzard like conditions.

NASA's Hubble Telescope Witnesses Asteroid's Mysterious Disintegration
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has recorded the never-before-seen break-up of an asteroid into as many as 10 smaller pieces.
Very cool.
Very weird.
Very spacey.

Why Did "The Ukraine" Become Just "Ukraine"?
This from Mental Floss.. and it’s a truly amazing story of how the nation of Ukraine has evolved.
The America.
The Russia?
The Britain?
no..
Ukrainians didn’t like “the” Ukraine was bit. No “the” Ukrainians didn’t.
I guess we’re all guilty of saying it…now and then. The crisis in “the” Crimea has certainly led to people thinking about the word they say before ‘Ukraine.’

A friend of mine reminded me tonight some of the greatest and freakiest horror characters in history: The Gentlemen.
They starred in a BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER episode in 1999 before the turn of the century.
They were a group of demons that roamed from town to town and needed human hearts to stay alive.
I always wondered with Joss Whedon based the GENTLEMEN on.. Perhaps Slenderman? Maybe the men in black.. Not the Black Eyed Children, since the BEKs are more of a new found group of paranormal entities..
If you don’t remember the episode HUSH here’s a clip of the gentlemen and the creepy song that accompanied them.
Sleep well..

U.S. Moves Six Fighter Jets to Baltics, More Airmen to Poland
The U.S. military is increasing its presence in Poland and the Baltics in response to the crisis in Ukraine, officials said Wednesday….
So much for not ratcheting up tensions, I guess…
Russia firing off ICBMs.. The United States reestablishing its Cold War footing.
Secretary of Defense Hagel also said supplying additional arms to Ukraine would be a joint NATO or presidential decision.
But another bit of Russia related news making big news is the news business itself. The LA TIMES reports it this way:
An American journalist said she was quitting a Russian-backed TV station in an on-air protest Wednesday, telling viewers “I cannot be part of a network funded by the Russian government, that whitewashes the actions of [President Vladimir] Putin.”
Her name is Liz Wahl. I’d imagine she is taking extra precautions since her decision and her video quitting has gone beyond viral ..
No word from RT on the Wahl decision. I am sure Vlad the Impaler will get over it.

‘Photography is not a crime:’ Kansas teen charged after filming cops speeding
So in this nation you can get charged for that.. but it’s ‘ok’ take take upskirt shots.

Mass. High Court: Subway Upskirt Photos Not Illegal!
Ok.. I get the first amendment.. I get it. But upskirt photos? I also get common sense. And I sense this is a bad decision..
Yeah, I know the law can be subtle, but if upskirt photos are legal, so is taking a photo of a woman’s cleavage or up her nose or of the contents of her pockets or handbag. To me, all of these things seem like they should be considered harassment, aka something illegal.
You have a point, this is a tough one.
I guess it comes down to what is ‘off limits’ when it comes to the public. In a sense, I’d say if you bare your breasts in public or allow cleavage to be shown, you’re aware that it’s in the public domain. But the hidden areas should not be in the public domain. Or the pubic domain…

My Daily Doodle for Ash Wednesday.. inspired by a few things.. First off, it’s inspired by some of my funniest times in life, Catholic High School in the late 1990s. Which explains, perhaps, why my priest image looks a little but like former President Bill Clinton. Slightly.
Also, the joke of having a nice Ash was one used heavily back in the former school Cardinal Brennan High .. Hopefully, if you chose to keep up with this old tradition of wearing your faith like a badge of honor on your head, your ash was as fine as you expected it to be.

This TV movie, WITHOUT WARNING, scared me to hell when I was 14 years old.
I re-watched again tonight for some reason after I read that an enormous asteroid was zipping between the earth and the moon tonight. As a matter of fact, the 100 feet wide asteroid will be closer than the moon.. Thankfully so, because 100 feet of an asteroid hitting this planet would be awful.
So…in the safety (for now) of your home, sit back, grab some popcorn, and watch the movie beamed from YouTube to your computer screen or smart phone… as the asteroid zips by the planet tonight.
The acting was bad in ‘94. But the story—and the chances of an impact without warning—never go away.

Putin Says No Immediate Need to Invade Eastern Ukraine, Leaves Threat Dangling
Vladimir Putin said he sees no immediate need to invade eastern Ukraine as the Obama administration prepares $1 billion in loan guarantees for the cash-strapped nation and threatens sanctions against Russia.
There is a temporary sigh of relief. Temporary.
The situation is still one in which anything can and may happen.
Putin Says No Immediate Need to Invade Eastern Ukraine, Leaves Threat Dangling
I listened to Clyde Lewis last night.. He titled his show "Foreign Horrorspondence" and focused on the newest world crisis in Crimea, Ukraine, and Russia. As usual, it wasn’t the typical approach you’d find from other sources.. Lewis detailed some old Nostradamus quatrains about the ‘ring of steel’ and the new world war coming after the games of slaughter. Lewis believed the games of slaughter were the 2008 Olympics—they began the same day that Russia invaded Georgia—and thinks we are heading towards a new world slaughter because of recent actions. While it wasn’t anything to do with ghosts and goblins, there show shook me.
I have always had a special place in my heart for Nostradamus, even though I believe much of the whole ‘prophecy’ business to be mostly nonsense. But something about a radio show host like Lewis bringing all of these strange facts together compels me to start believing..
If you haven’t noticed lately, it’s been feeling like ‘war’ for a while now across this planet.
And we begin there today..
Vladimir Putin is calling the actions in Ukraine a ‘coup’ ..
The nation of Ukraine is filled with a vast amount of religious people. In Crimea, one of those, a bishop, is urging calm. However, a Ukrainian Catholic leader says people must be ready to sacrifice lives..
While the nation of Russia is basically ignoring anything coming from the Obama Administration, the White House and the US continue to look at a ‘broad range of sanctions’ against Russia.. That may be difficult since the European Union relies heavily on natural gas coming from Russia. This could be the straw that breaks the camel’s back of the world economy. Some actually believe that, due to the crisis in Ukraine, a world economic crisis is brewing..
Russia and China are happily joining hands on the matter—which is bad news for the United States..
Timing is key, on all events.. including Crimea. While the world watches turmoil and conflict, the earth wanted to be heard, too. Either HAARP is operational again or natural events led to this, but Crimea had a 4.1 earthquake yesterday..
While Sarah Palin may not be the world’s finest expert on Russian affairs—thought she could see Russia from her house—she did have this snappy one liner about how the Obama Administration is dealing with Pootie Poot: " People are looking at Putin as one who wrestles bears and drills for oil. They look at our president as one who wears mom jeans and equivocates and bloviates"
Perhaps the new faced-shiny Sarah is talking about this now famous photo released by the White House of Obama ‘calling’ Putin over the weekend:

America is getting so weird..
Sure, America worships celebrity.. but will we eat them? Serious.. A company named BiteLabs has a novel and disgusting idea: Growing meat from celebrity tissue samples. I suppose it’s the closest thing to cannibalism that can be sold legally. The product is salami. It will be 30% celebrity and 40% animal meat, the rest will be fats and spices. And you can enjoy a nice glass of Chianti with your cannibal celebrity sammich..
