Animusic!

One of my young friends from karate recently added a video from Animusic to his profile on Facebook. Seeing it again just brought back my memories of enjoying seeing it for the first time, and being absolutely spellbound by the beauty of the music itself, and the mind-bending intricacy of the imaginary instruments that were created to bring it to life. Its a real labor of love with a fascinating story behind that I would recommend to anyone of any age.

Finally, and most importantly: a clip from YouTube of what is undoubtedly the most famous composition from Animusic. Its called Pipe Dream and I hope you enjoy it!

Till next time, keep it intelligent...

This kid is Da Shiznit...

Right. So, my return to blogging hasn't been going so well. Thanks for noticing. :-) What's a guy to do to make up for it? Post a damn funny video, that's what. A little smattering of R-rated music for this one, but it fits perfectly.  Snoop Dogg lays down the soundtrax for "The Don of Ghaz Main", the coolest, baddest little fat kid in Iraq.

Spanning the globe...

Greetings, carbon units, A.I. here with a scatter-gun update to fill in the sizeable gaps in my blogging career (aka life.)

Left guard stance, with a kia. Move!
When we last spoke, I was a mere yellow belt in Combative Freestyle Martial Arts, the form of self-defense I practice. That was a long time ago... and now I am a 4th degree Green Belt and probably another year and a half to two years from attaining my black belt. In fact, I just got the 4th stripe on my green belt tonight! So I'm very excited about that. I have ample opportunity to help train the other students and I can really feel the progression in my skills. This is a story we'll continue to track!

Is it supposed to be scalding hot?
Without going into the supremely gory details, I spent a fair bit of the first part of this year sick. In fact, I even got to spend about 6 days in the hospital between the end of January and the start of February with an ailment known as cellulitis. I developed a strep infection below the surface of my right shin which resulted in a baseball sized cyst that had to be surgically removed. It was a surreal looking thing and even though I felt basically fine, it was blistering hot to the touch. Guess it makes sense considering the microbial holocaust that was taking place in there. I got to take bags and bags of intravenous antibiotics while in the hospital! Oh what fun! Suffice it to say, I am much better now and have a cool scar. Chicks dig scars, right? Yeah....

On the political front:
I am officially announcing my opposition to the candidacy of Senator Hilary Clinton for President. I was never fond of the Clinton clan when they were in the White House the first time, but after seeing Sen. Clinton on Good Morning America earlier this week, I don't see how anyone could trust her to run to Starbucks to pick up coffee much less run the most powerful nation in the free world. I'm not 100% up to date on the specifics, but one of her campaign staff members made some accusatory remarks about Obama and past drug use. The ensuing furor resulted in this person's stepping down from the position they had. On GMA I sat in stupefied silence as a very simple question was asked and an utterly pointless, convoluted, and ultimately dishonest answer was given. But I'll let Hilary speak for herself. I long for the day, when some politician somewhere will just give a straight answer on something, no matter what the question is.

 

And now for something completely different...
I enjoy watching mixed martial arts fighting, or at least I did until I saw this next clip. Shades of Joe Theisman here but worse. Yikes.

***WARNING*** This is not pretty. Its not gory, but definitely not the feel-good YouTube clip of the week.

 

Adios for now!
So now that I've gotten all that out of my system, I can get back to blogging about regular pointless stuff in the near future. Stay tuned!
