Letterman bangs on McCain

The YouTube is nine minutes long, so here are the relevant parts:

:01 - 3:27: Letterman takes fairly tame shots at McCain mixed with genuine praise for the man's heroism.

3:27 - 6:34: Dave starts getting testy!

6:35 - 9:11: Fill-in guest Keith Olbermann (haha, amazing choice) is interrupted when Letterman finds out about McCain's Couric interview, conducted at that very moment down the street. Letterman then plays live footage of McCain getting powdered by a makeup assistant before Couric goes on the air.

Amazing Grace-The Lives of Children and the Conscience of a Nation

I read this book years ago and I never stop thinking about it. I'm constantly plotting ways to make bigger things happen... one step at a time tho eh?

a review that took the words out of my mouth

Jonathan Kozol has dedicated his work on bringing light to the inequalities that exist within our nation. These inequalities are best seen, unfortunately but not unexpectedly, along racial lines. "Amazing Grace: The Lives of Children and the Conscience of a Nation" is a book with a lot of questions, a lot of shocking information, but not a lot of answers; if only because the answers may not exist. It is a stunning look at the deep disparity between rich and poor within our nation.

Kozol focuses on the South Bronx ghetto of Mott Haven, the poorest borough in New York, clearly segregated from the middle and upper classes, where two-thirds of the population are Hispanic and one-third African-American. Through interviews with school children, teachers, ministers, and community members, Kozol paints a bleak picture of the equally bleak lives led by those who live in this area. He recounts stories of buildings where wires have been eaten through by rats that are the size of squirrels, of drugs being bought and sold openly on the streets (although the drug dealers have enough respect to break when school lets out), and of families too numerous to count who are being killed off one by one by AIDS. The way these children see the world is frightenly dead-on; they know when they're not wanted because it's proven to them everyday in the way they have to live.

"Amazing Grace" is not an easy read due to its topic matter. Kozol's style is matter-of-fact, made up of usually uninterrupted comments by those he's interviewed, sometimes with his questions thrown in, and his own comments and hypotheses as to how this can go on. But Kozol doesn't necessarily have answers or even blame. Surely, some blame has to go to a system that keeps the poorest people with the least chance for success segregated from others, a separation of the haves and have nots to the greatest degree. And certainly others would place the blame on the poor people themselves. Perhaps it's a combination of a lot of factors, not one or the other, but what is certain is that too little is being done (or maybe can be done) to make a difference before it is too late.

Medical studies about drugs may be victims of a spin

"Does the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have access to the data it needs to make informed decisions on approving drugs, or are drug companies cherry-picking the studies they publish to make their drugs look better than they actually are?

A new report in Monday's PLoS Medicine questions whether doctors and patients are getting objective information about whether a medicine works. That's because more than half of studies on government-approved medications—presumably the ones that show a drug doesn't work—are never published, and those that are show disproportionately positive results."

Scientific American Mind

This really doesn't surprise me. I can't stand that pharmaceutical big business B.S . I don't believe in the medication the spill out. I had a friend who was getting treated for depression with epilepsy pills. WHAT? I mean it's no wonder you sit through a commercial for some pill, and they spend the entire commercial listing the side effects.


HERE is a Cymbalta commercial.... "Depression Hurts"



and HERE is a Cymbalta VICTIM video "Cymbalta Hurts More"



This is very deep. It just proves that this is nothing but big business. Our healthcare system is a joke. I went to the doctor for a tiny back ache and left with 5 prescriptions of pain medicine including Vicodin and Flexarol. It's just a minor bache ache....JEEEEZ.

I feel it's important to look into natural ways of healing your body. Before you go to the doctor, take a look at what you're eating and fix it....because the FDA approves THAT processed shit too. =/

Happy Birthday John Coltrane!

Today (September 22)[or yesterday depending on when this posts] would have been his 82nd birthday.
I love John Coltrane because he had amazing harmonic knowledge and instinct. WOW...this man had delivered harmony with such complexity and was definitely a "funky technician" with that saxophone.


One of my most favorite songs of John Coltrane is "Naima"....the song was named after his first wife. The chorus of this song is so beautiful. This entire song educes a whirl of emotions. THE GOOSEBUMP FACTOR




Not many hip hop artists have sampled John Coltrane. I think the Fu Schnickens did...i know the Pharcyde did, Aceyalone...but I'm not sure who else. EXCEPT, how could I forget KRS-ONE "Brown Skinned Woman"




that song sampled Coltrane's "The Late Late Blues"

Light-Paint Piano Player from Ryan Cashman on Vimeo.

Ryan Cashman describes Light-Paint Piano Player -

"Animated light paintings of a little piano player performing. Filmed at night with the lovely I-5 and San Diego skyline in the background. I would like to thank everyone for the fantastic feedback I have received lately. To answer a few questions, I wrote the music and recorded it first. The frames were photographed with a Canon Rebel using 20-30 second exposure time. I used a small green LED keychain light to draw each frame. Once all the positions were photographed they were strung together and synchronized to the music in After Effects."

This is really cute! God I love talent!!! I had to post because A) it's dope and B) its got my hometown in the background! San Diego baby...

You Got It- The Glamorous Life...

This used to be one of my jams back in the day! Had to share...
Too bad Cool C finished himself off along with Steady B (who's now "SERIOUS" in prison) by robbing a bank and killing a cop (stupidos)...is he [Cool C] still on death row?

Cultural Genocide

"By the late 19th Century, the theory that European achievements arose from innate racial superiority became widespread, justifying race-based slavery, genocide, colonization and other forms of political and economic exploitation.

So the presumption is, that over generations of indoctrinated euro centrism, the exploitative elements of this phenomenon progressed to encompass social perspectives and beliefs that were actually embraced among those oppressed by eurocentricity and remain prevalent even today – hence the portion of the Wiki definition that the belief or practice of euro centrism may be subconscious to the point of innate and inherent behavior without specific rhyme and/or reason. I would hypothesize there are a great many who are unaware of being euro centric, although fully cognizant of NOT being Afrocentric, though lacking the understanding that the latter condition is actually a symptom of the former."
Via http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurocentric


Morals and purpose are at an all time low. I feel as though people forget the reason that we were put on this earth. Everybody wants to make it about emotional comfort, status and egotistical material items. Everybody wants to feel good all the time. I believe the species has regressed due to inferior breeding habits. Breeding habits that are based on an inferior society and not on the development of the species. This country is ass backwards.

"elements of this phenomenon progressed to encompass social perspectives and beliefs that were actually embraced among those oppressed by eurocentricity and remain prevalent even today " ======>> Can YOU see how it has been embraced by those OPRESSED by eurocentricity?? I can. Welcome to the ass backwards Jr Europe we call America.

The MAXIM's I buy....

NOT THAT^^^^ MAXIM!! ;-) She's hot tho! I'm speaking of the MAXIM that means a fundamental principle...The list below is important to me...I look for it[and expect it] in myself and the people I interact with often.



1.If you want someone to do something, persuade them; don't make them.

2.Always be kind at first, but be firm if your kindness is exploited.

3.In matters of blame, think twice before you speak.

4.Be critical but not cynical.

5.Never allow the low standards of others to lower your own standards.

6.Admire good people.

7.Be truthful, but not in order to hurt others.

8.Let the facts speak for themselves.

9.Don't allow your temper to do what your reason can't.

10.Don't confuse independence with rebelliousness.

11.Don't think that what is right is always obvious.

12.Stare at yourself in the mirror once in a while.

She Who Loves Goodness Also Loves TRUTH

A good person is a truthful person, not only to others but to themselves. They seek out and respect the truth for their own consumption, not fooling themselves about where the truth lies.

The honest person wants her real beliefs and motives KNOWN. She doesn't want to hide behind anything. It is the opposite trait to deceitfulness, manipulativeness, and corruption. An honest person tries to be open so that the book can always be identified from the cover. A dishonest person is forever watchful in case her true feelings and intentions should slip out, so she has to put on an act to hide what is really in her heart. That often takes the form of an EXCESSIVE show of trustworthiness, so that the others will be thrown off the scent. A lot of people are highly skilled at that form of theater; and their dishonesty may come as a big surprise. An honest person makes a point of letting you know where she really stands: no act comes between you and her real self. She feels a powerful commitment to the truth. Honesty is a virtue not a vice. It's not just about "letting people know what you think of them" ; it runs deeper than that. Honesty can sometimes come in harsh words, however, it needs a good intention behind it. It's not about blurting everything out without regard for the consequences.
