My favorite Facebook weather source, the Weatherboy Weather posted an “OMG” over top of today’s snowstorm forecast.. This is beginning to look like a long duration snow storm set to drop up to 20 inches or more in spots.. prepare now because by Monday all travel may be temporarily grounded.. The other concern may be ice if enough warmth spreads into the storm.. It’s a March storm after all—and March storms typically produce heavy snow. In like a lion.. a cold, cold lion in winter.
A dark horse minus some darkness…
Katy Perry edits DARK HORSE video after accusations of blasphemy. A petition was signed by thousands saying that the video was offensive to Muslims. The name of Allah has been removed from the footage.. For those keeping track of the footage removal: The Illuminati messages are still in it..
This beautiful image comes from CBS 21 in Harrisburg .. it’s the Susquehanna River, obviously iced over from a long winter..
More snow and ice coming Sunday into Monday. The scene may get even colder looking..
I am extremely exited about this.. too cool.
Big people. Little houses.
A new idea: “Tiny houses” to end homelessness..
My quick take: It looks more like little dog houses, as though there is a new low in America.. that instead of trying to get better jobs in this nation, or industry, or good construction, we are going to promote the idea of making one body ‘homes’ that people can hide away in like pieces of garbage..
One ‘advocate’ quoted in the NBC story says that this could ‘revolutionize housing’ in the United States.
He may be right. The only house most Americans will be able to afford will be these tiny houses..
TIME TO LOSE WEIGHT, AMERICA! You’re being downsized..
Here we go, just the facts:
• Optic Nerve program collected Yahoo webcam images in bulk
• 1.8m users targeted by UK agency in six-month period alone
• Yahoo: ‘A whole new level of violation of our users’ privacy’
• Material included large quantity of sexually explicit images
And MORE!
GCHQ files dating between 2008 and 2010 explicitly state that a surveillance program codenamed Optic Nerve collected still images of Yahoo webcam chats in bulk and saved them to agency databases, regardless of whether individual users were an intelligence target or not.
In one six-month period in 2008 alone, the agency collected webcam imagery – including substantial quantities of sexually explicit communications – from more than 1.8 million Yahoo user accounts globally.
So… what did the UK government catch you doing??!
Time to secure your tin foil hats and adjust your tape overtop of your webcam.. things just got real.
The latest.. Which may be different by the time you finish reading.
Russian fighter jets have been put on combat alert over tensions in Ukraine.. Now that the Winter Games have successfully concluded for Momma Russia, Vlad the Impaler is doing as he sees fit..
Including this provocative move: A Russian spy ship has docked in Havana, Cuba. And the silence is deafening as to why.
All eyes are now on Moscow’s military moves in the Ukraine—troops are being spotted in Crimea..Ukraine’s ousted president is defiant, saying he’s still in charge.. And from RT: The Facts you Need to Know about Crimea..

Best not to listen with your lights down..
The possible true story behind this audio is that it was a famous radio hijacking.. the alien sounds replace the classical music being played.. about two minutes into the clip, the female voice begins to rhythmically recite names of people who died during the Pan Am bombing from the 1980s.. There’s more on the clip here.. There’s also some debate, on some boards, as to when the actual audio was recorded..
The audio has been online for over a year.. there are countless message boards, including this REDDIT thread, of people debating if they should even listen—and if they did, would they experience a “RING” like fate..
I was first introduced to the file by Clyde Lewis’ radio program last year.. I never quite got it out of my head, and last night Lewis played the file again during his program on weird radio transmissions and numbers stations.
While it’s really not known if this event actually occurred or if it’s a big hoax, or some sort of publicity stunt from years ago, this is what is apparent: The tape is freaky, frightening, and downright chilling.
If you listen, you may want to wait until daybreak.. Unless you’re into things that go bump—or squelch—in the night.
I love Clyde Lewis. What can I say but that..
He’s an incredibly gifted radio personality.. he has the spirit of Art Bell and often the anger of Alex Jones, but is so much more talented than others who host nationally syndicated shows—especially those old ones with mustaches who attempt hosting..
Last night he had an already unforgettable show.. I just got through it and may very well listen again.
The show’s topic was ‘radio activities.’ Creepy sounds over shortwave, AM, and FM bands.. Famous historical hijacks of television stations.. weird numbers stations being played late in the night.. Odd sounds and voices coming from stations that seem to portend messages of doom. That and more discussed last night on Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis..
I recommend you give it a listen in your spare time.
With the lights off, of course..
My Daily Doodle.. certainly not as macabre as Ayden’s interpretation of the goings on at a dentist, but weird nonetheless.
An orange beats an apple.. while riding a banana. It was the dull drawing of a long day .. It’s all I got.
I eat fruit. What can I say. It was in front of me.
Harold Ramis is dead.. pretty sad news.
This is from the AP report on the death:
Ramis was surrounded by family in his Chicago home, where he’s lived since 1996, when he died early this morning from complications of autoimmune inflammatory vasculitis, his wife Erica Mann Ramis told the Chicago Tribune.
Ramis was 69.
And he was responsible for laughs, smiles, and amazing roles in movies.
Godspeed Harold Ramis..
I hope you find peace and solace on the other side.. you gave us good memories.
It’s a snail!
It’s a pain!
IT’S THAT GUY
The man who lives in a shade of gray.
My Daily Doodle presented in color. Not living color. Unless you’ve seen the Mythical Creature who lurks in offices or near copy machines, the man who saves staples and paper clips, the man who eats cold meat sandwiches for lunch every day: That Guy..
In the article about the shaking, Accuweather points out one historic fact that hopefully will not get repeated:
“One of the most infamous occurred in 1692 when a 7.5-magnitude quake dismantled the city of Port Royal, Jamaica. Much of the city was submerged under water, and thousands of people lost their lives.”
Her concert’s like a wrecking ball.. Miley Cyrus is desperate to stay relevant (and obviously Googled “1990s + Bill Clinton) .. She is staging a Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky moment during her song PARTY IN THE USA.. You can read more about it here if you’d like.. But I wonder, what will this do for Hillary’s plans to run in 2016..?
I’m not done yet!
Another story from Miley’s BANGERZ TOUR.. she is making out with Katy Perry. We know already that Katy has successful sold her soul to the devil long ago.. Miley is just clumsily trying to do the same.
You may have seen this article before, or the concept of it: Toys that are made so much more valuable after many years because they were never opened from their original packages.
In this case, 18 MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE toys worth hundreds of dollars each if they maintain themselves in their cardboard casings from the 1980s.
But I think back.. there’d certainly be no way as a child I would have chosen to NOT open these toys.. and even more, what’st he point? Sure, there’s monetary value now on them, but.. the endless hours and rivalries on my bedroom floor that I imagined would have been nonexistent.
And that’s completely worthless…
This is the last time I’m going to talk about my personal life in an American publication ever again.
A very interesting article and interview from VULTURE .. Alec Baldwin says MSNBC didn’t pay him, he says he loathes the media.. and he pages Holden Caulfield with this quote about Rachel Maddow:
I think Rachel Maddow is quite good at what she does. I also think she’s a phony who doesn’t have the same passion for the truth off-camera that she seems to have on the air
Ouch…
Happy birthday Ayden..
3?
Seriously?
Already?
Infrequent updates this weekend due to the preparations for and the having of a 3rd birthday party for Ayden Morris. My son is three.. I cannot fathom the consequences of that for him, let alone me and my wife.. Three years of memories already.. three everything. Good things come in threes, even years I suppose.
You really don’t know how bad potholes are until you transport a large ninja turtles cake in your trunk.
I am having some youthful flashbacks to my childhood in Centralia. The best images of the town as it was as I was growing up actually come from a mediocre movie called MADE IN USA.
This is the town I was born and raised in.. and the ruins I grew up in..
It has been about a year and a month since I lost a friend to cancer. She was a brave soul who endured agony before she passed away.. She was young—at least I look at her that way since she graduated the same year as me from high school, and I’m not old, right?
It is somewhat weird that Facebook pages never die .. We can pass from this existence, but the words and ‘likes’ we had will remain so as long as Mark Zuckerberg and the NSA permit it..
My friend’s name was Lori.. I visited her Facebook page the other night and realized that people were still actively posting messages to her.. sending love .. actively asking for her to help them. Grieving never stops, perhaps.. And maybe with technology it is evolving. Does it help or hurt to be able to constantly go back to someone’s Facebook, or Twitter, or blog? After all, a visit to the page could make it seem like they’re still here, somewhere.
And maybe they are.
Alexander Graham Bell often visited seances. Some think his invention of the telephone was meant to help the deaf.. others wonder if Bell, like all of us, were searching for a way to speak to the dead and ponder an afterlife. The mystery of EVPs has been around for centuries.. are they recordings of ghostly apparitions, wandering the earth? Or are they just a recording of the endless loop of life—a recording of what we say that replays over and over again? We are told by paranormal ‘experts’ that Bell had those questions. He didn’t find an answer—but his invention led us to years of creepy stories of the dead calling their loved ones after they left the earth.
I wonder how long until we hear from people who claim that the dead updated their Facebook accounts.. I wonder how long until the dead do it—if the dead are powerful enough to do such things.. And that takes into consideration the fact that an afterlife would be existent. And if there was one, it would have to have a few dull moments that people would rather update a Facebook status as opposed to playing musical instruments with angelic figures…
I don’t say this in mocking. As a matter of fact, I am quite surprised that there are no movies or scary stories to tell in the dark regarding Facebook, or Twitter.
It is a little eerie to me to visit Lori’s Facebook page a year and some time later after she lost her battle to cancer.. The photos of her struggles remain.. her hometown remains, as though she’s still there. Her profile picture remains.. as though it’s still current. And the messages to her are continuous, as though she is still alive.
It’s the new way we deal with grief and pain. And there is nothing wrong with it. Any way we try to cope is healthy—it shows we are actively trying to get a hold on our emotions and become mentally stable with the tragedy that life can be..
Alexander Graham Bell was quoted once as saying this,
I have been thinking for some time of a machine or apparatus which could be operated by personalities who have passed on to another existence or sphere. I believe that if we are to make any real progress in psychic investigation, we must do it with scientific apparatus and in a scientific manner.
Maybe one day that apparatus will be Facebook….when a lost soul responds to friends who miss them. Just imagine that premise next time you post a message on a deceased friend’s wall…
Note to reporters reading their cue cards: Watch for the period in a sentence. The lack of one certainly changes things..
Lots of news articles are touting the benefits of getting the flu shot. We are being told it’s not too late to get it now.
I don’t want to get in a debate about that, I have my opinions, I think it’s worth asking what else may be causing this.
I argue that there could be an overall lifestyle change which is helping disease and sickness spread. A lack of good food.. a lack of wholesome food—a population getting too poor to afford good medical care and GMO free meals..
Just my thoughts.
Flu shotters may disagree.. But health isn’t a one fix problem..
The BBC is reporting this at the hour:
Ukraine’s opposition has asserted its authority over Kiev and parliament in a day of fast-paced events.
MPs have replace the parliamentary speaker and attorney general, appointed a new pro-opposition interior minister and voted to free jailed opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko.
Police appear to have abandoned their posts across the capital.
Protesters in Kiev have walked unchallenged into the president’s official and residential buildings.
An obvious developing story.. and fast moving..
The grid.. the infrastructure.. everything crumbling. And now this.
We could have used modernization years ago.. we’re beyond being not modern now.
I often wonder if the flu is hitting professionals worse this year because professionals (and lots of others) don’t have the money they once did to buy good, wholesome food. Overall diets are awful.. getting worse as prices go high. Flu shots are no match for lifestyle..
I don’t know which is funnier.. the video of this skater ‘falling through the ice’ at the Olympics or the endless thread of commenters debating whether it’s real or not..
This study seems to have no value or goodness.. But it’s worth mentioning only because people in Washington DC have sex that lasts for 2 minutes and 8 seconds..
Now you know.
How disappointing.. So basically, late night comedy shows have gone from lampooning politicians to a world where they will allow them to ‘soften their image’ and be even faker than they were before.
Goodbye Carson…1980-1995 Letterman.. and all the others.. Hello Jimmy Fallon.
Good luck being everyone’s friend.
The year of the horse.. and the Katy Perry Dark Horse video is now revealed..
If you’re into that sort of thing, I am sure you can spot all of the occult and Illuminati symbolism present in the music video (even amateurs can pick up on them)—and if you’re not check with Alex Jones or Mark Dice later..
30 years of Wrestlemania.. amazing..
As for me? I always liked Andre the Giant more.. but that’s just me.
Video going viral tonight of a woman in Austin Texas who was arrested for crossing the street.
ARRESTED,
Hauled away,
cuffed…
Arrested.
Ain’t that America………
Another reject on the way?
Rob Zombie is working on another horror movie that he compares to the DEVIL’S REJECTS.. apparently BROAD STREET BULLIES is second a side street in Zombie’s plans..
In an interview,Rob Zombie said that he was working on the hockey film but ‘something else’ popped up..
Interestingly, Zombie also says his movie he liked the least was HOUSE OF A 1000 CORPSES because it was a ‘mess.’ I agree with him.
But I would have to say his HALLOWEEN remakes were much more deplorable in nature than others..
Sometimes the news is bad.. Sometimes a miracle happen. Tears of joy finally escape my eyes tonight instead of yet another tragedy about a child..
Sebastian de la Cruz stopped breathing while his aunt Pamela Rauseo was driving in bumper to bumper Miami traffic.. She screamed for help as the baby went purple without air..
She frantically performed CPR on the baby.
And suddenly…she got help. NBC NEWS reports this:
The female good Samaritan who came to her aid was Lucila Godoy, who was driving with her own child when she spotted Rauseo in distress.
"I wasn’t thinking. I just got out of the car and saw the baby and heard her calling him Sebastian, which is my baby’s name, and I just freaked out," Godoy said.
"I couldn’t think. I was like, ‘Please don’t die on me.’"
Flagged down by the Miami Herald photographer who took the gripping photos, Sweetwater Police Officer Amauris Bastidas also rushed to help.
The three did CPR on Sebastian, who started breathing — and then suddenly stopped again. More rounds of chest compressions and rescue breathing followed until the baby started breathing on his own again.
"That’s when I broke down crying out of relief, knowing that he was OK," Rauseo said.
And this…
Rauseo said that she learned how to to CPR seven years ago but had forgotten the basics. Now she plans to take a refresher course to get certified.
"I would suggest that anyone with a baby or a baby in their family do so," she said.
I told my wife for several years now that this is something I want to learn. She already knows it. It’s time for me to act..
Miracles do happen.
And there’s good people still around.
And seriously.. any time Chris Christie skips dinner, that’s a headline..
The internet can be filled with goodness and important websites reporting on news from around the world.
There seems to be an increasingly number of horrible websites involving child porn.. As a matter of fact, right now there are 50,000 Americans believed to be actively trading images and videos of children being abused.
One message board comment on a ‘dark web’ site said this, with a photo of an unborn child: ”I have a new baby about to be added to the game.” I challenge you to read the USA TODAY article about this and still try to argue there is not evil in this world—children being damned before they are born to such conditions is wrong and dreadfully depressing..
Why do such horrible and disgusting things happen to children? Why do so many evil so called humans want to rob the goodness and innocence of childhood? A story from Missouri is shocking: A ten year old girl, Hailey Owens, was abducted and murdered .. and a 45-year-old longtime employee of the Springfield Missouri public school system has been charged with first degree murder..
And the story of the beautiful young girl has resonated across the United States..
No child, no human—but goddamnit no child—should ever have to be subjected to pedophiles and creeps, inhuman scum and despicable evil people..
Ever. If I had superpowers, I know the scum I’d round up first..
I am sure you’ve come across people who dress like Barbie and try to emulate her entire plastic existence? Hell, there was even a hit song in the 90s celebrating such stupidity.
And now, Blondie Bennett, a Barbie-obsessed woman, says she is taking steps to become brainless.
The ultimate Barbie—and sign of mental illness.. The step being taken: Hypnotherapy.. Good luck Barbie. Let’s hope your IQ substantially drops.
Scenes like this look like the end of the world. But they are just how things go in Sarajevo these days.
You may have seen these images going viral over the past few days..
It was Sarajevo.. 1984—before the heartbreaking war that killed so many.. The war took a toll on the site of the Olympics.. And now, remnants of a time that was stand. The photos look spooky, strange, and creepy.. There are abandoned structures and reminders of the beauty that once was.
There are so many things that come to mind when I looked at the photos. First off, the power of earth to take over what man creates.. but more importantly, the power of hate, which is able to destroy and bring to rubble vestiges of goodness and sport rivalry.
Normally when people visit a website, the bounce rate is about 80%. Do yourself a favor and stay on this page with photos a little longer.. and contemplate what their haunting message really is..
Scenes like this look like the end of the world. But they are just how things go in Kiev these days.. The violent Ukraine protests continue.. and now the President has made concessions .. There are also panic-stricken Ukrainians storming shops, banks, and gas stations.. and lots of images of empty store shelves..
Scenes like this look like the end of the world. But they are just how things go in Venezuela these days. As the economy crashes, state-sponsored paramilitaries are roaming middle class neighborhoods and shooting whoever looks like they are protesting. There is a major government crackdown on all dissidents.. And most of the international news media is completely oblivious to it all.
Nestle is voluntarily recalling an unspecified number of “Philly Steak” and “Croissant Crust Philly Steak and Cheese” Hot Pockets because they could contain meat that is unfit for human consumption, according to the USDA
That sounds pretty disgusting. Like sickening.
I eat the four cheese pizza lean pockets from time to time. I typically avoid any mass produced frozen meat products. Things like Bubba burgers etc. get me sick just to think of thousands of cows being simultaneously killed and mushed together .. but meat that is ‘unfit for human consumption’? Oh my..
My Daily Doodle for February 20, 2014.. Tara, otherwise known as Mommy formerly known as Tara, is getting a homemade birthday card with Mario on it.. Ayden asked for it.
I made Mario look more like a crooked-faced Jay Leno than the plumbing superhero.. And that little blue star.. It was a botched yellow one.
One reason I dedicated 2014 to be the year of the daily doodle—the year I begin drawing again—was because of how long since I drew anything.
From daily drawings to … zippo.
I knew I needed practice after not drawing in 10 years. I didn’t realize how bad I got until I saw my star.. Oh that’s a horrible star.
But Tara, it’s from the heart.
Regardless of political persuasion, this is just a bad idea. No one, really, logically has yet explained to me why it is needed.
I know what really is needed.. Twitter, Facebook, blogs, and other sources.. And a strong and fearless media .. one that doesn’t pay attention only to celebrity and bypass the real news.
Thankfully we have Twitter, Facebook, and blogs.
For now.
Until the newsroom police ….
Oh … I’m sure there’s some very ‘innocent’ reason the government would want to place censors….errrr….monitors in newsrooms and forget that whole freedom of the press thing. Right? I mean…. Authority never wants to censor right?
The FCC won’t let me be.
It never ends.. And won’t for a few hundred thousand (or more) years ..
Many scientists say that disposal wells used during hydraulic fracturing and other methods of oil and gas extraction are the culprit.
Looks like more pizza may be in order for affected customers in the future..
THIS IS THE WINTER THAT NEVER ENDS..
YES IT GOES ON AND ON MY FRIENDS…
Out with the old!
In the with older!
At least you know he’d protect Social Security ..
So there you go… get ready for that.
The winter of 2013-14.. the winter that never ends..
Will it be the summer that never begins?
I’ll revisit this post in a few months to see what impact the freeze over had…
Reports from tens of thousands of bird-counting volunteers show a southern invasion of Arctic-dwelling snowy owls has spread to 25 states, and frigid cold is causing unusual movements of waterfowl.
Pretty impressive stats, I’d say.
The times they are a freezin’..
…..but for what it’s worth, the Farmer’s Almanac and the large furry critters that cross the road did.
And so did Accuweather—which seems to be so far ahead of the game on the NOAA all the time…
This is just how WRONG the government was. (Maybe they were too busy writing the code to HEALTHCARE.GOV?)
I read with some surprise the Wall Street JOURNAL editorial written this week by former Reagon speechwriter and conservative Peggy Noonan.. It’s titled “Our Decadent Elites.”
There may be many Peggy Noonan haters in my following crowd, but consider some of her salient points.. She starts her article like this:
America sees Washington as the capital of vacant, empty souls, chattering among the pillars. Suggesting this perception is valid is helpful in what way?
…she goes on to say this…
We’re at a funny point in our political culture. To have judgment is to be an elitist. To have dignity is to be yesterday. To have standards is to be a hypocrite—you won’t always meet standards even when they’re your own, so why have them?
…and she mentioned this:
And it is all about the behavior of our elites, our upper classes, which we define now in a practical sense as those who are successful, affluent and powerful. This group not only includes but is almost limited to our political class, Wall Street, and the media, from Hollywood to the news divisions.
They’re all kind of running America.
Some may raise eyebrows that Peggy Noonan is talking about the elites.. The wealthy.. the upper class. And doing so not in a favorable fashion.
It seems a sea change of sorts has taken place in this country. Maybe things have gotten so bad, so rich vs poor without a middle class to adsorb anything anymore, that even Peggy Noonan is decrying the unhealthy economic battle field that exists in this new, two Americas.
And the biggest shock, of sorts, is how she ends her editorial. Like this:
They’re making their videos, holding their parties and having a ball. OK. But imagine you’re a Citizen at Home just grinding through—trying to do it all, the job, the parenthood, the mowing the lawn and paying the taxes. No glamour, all responsibility and effort. And you see these little clips on the Net where the wealthy sing about how great taxpayer bailouts are and you feel like … they’re laughing at you.
What happens to a nation whose elites laugh at its citizens?
What happens to its elites?
What does happen, indeed…
This is a little creepy. . imagine FULL HOUSE without Michelle, the basis of this YouTube video a friend sent me.
But it sort of goes along with the ‘mind bending implications’ of the many worlds theory.. including the really mind bending notion that ‘nothing is real.’ Not even Truman Burbank.
Or in the case of this video… Michelle Tanner.
And you really, really should read about the mind bending many worlds theories..
My Daily Doodle for February 18, 2014..
It was a messy scene.. Valentine’s Day party for Ayden at school meant that mom and dad had to write out all the cards, put the candy in the bags, and desperately try to maneuver the lollipops into the designated holes on the Scooby Doo valentines.. All the while, food boiled and dishes were dirty.. and Ayden played SONIC THE HEDGE HOG on the iPad.
By 11pm it was done.. finished.. Ready.
Hope we didn’t forget any kids in the process..
