America is just dumb.

The world, especially Europe takes a strong stance, and it's been proven true time and time again that USA is the least healthy, and intelligent of the Industrialized nations.

Now what does health have to do with intelligence? A lot. Health is basically the state of our body, and most of us Drink Coffee, take Pharmaceuticals that clog our livers and slow our minds, eat Fast Food that has no nutrients, and eat even cheaper non-whole foods.

Eating a Doughnut w/ Coffee at breakfast will temporarily lower your health, and constant use will clog your arteries. The type of sugar popular in the US is High Fructose Corn syrup, which despite popular belief contains no corn, rather corn's high starches are converted and processed into a completely unnatural product that's shown in studies to be a carcinogen, and it's in almost anything.

High Fructose Corn Syrup doesn't break down like regular sugars, so even if there is no fat in your diet, you'll get fat drinking Coke all day. The complex structure of HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup) means that your body won't break it down into energy. You're also probably not taking the nutrients and enzymes from whole foods that help break sugars and fat down into energy. So, we use the energy for just enough to get by the day. Then we come home and eat a pre-made Stouffers dinner. Which is also processed.

All this has to do with basic health. One thing is the lack of blood flow from low physical activity and eating artery clogging foods. So if you're blood flow is low the oxygen in your blood is lessened, which is crucial for good brain activity, on all levels. So as we get unhealthy our minds because dumber. Forget the Public School system, forget the false teaching, forget TV, food is the biggest culprit to American's bad health and low intelligence. Alcohol is also a big contributor. It's proven that even after 3-4 beers, a person's brain activity will not resume to "normal" for approx. 3-5 days after drinking. This is why frat dudes are so dumb. Besides, the fact that 80% of Americans drink on a weekly basis would fit perfectly into my idea that Americans aren't dumb by default, but the lifestyles we live. Stuffing poisons down our body day after day, takes it toll. On your body, and mind.

This is why we don't protest, we don't have the energy. In the 1960s people didn't know what Enriched food meant, (it means everything good like Vitamins, Nutrients are taken out and replaced with cheaper forms of nutrients if any at all) and they didn't get cancer like we do today...So they had more inquisitive brains, might have been more ignorant to today's standards, but on their standards, we are certainly much more ignorant today. Yet millions got up and protested Civil Rights and a useless War. In France, a place known for it's food, they do not eat processed foods, and they're one of the most rowdy and protesting nations in the world. They speak out against their government like it's just another Tuesday. And it works for them, they get 5 weeks paid vaca for ALL EMPLOYEES, it's a law. If you work 5 hours per week, you're entitled to almost full pay for 5 weeks of vacation. They also never work over 40 hours as they see that as bad and unhealthy for your mind, body, social life, and family. You might say, wow they must not get shit done, but in fact they have a higher rate of production than the US...hmm. No wonder our Government speaks so low of France, they don't want us to do what they do.

The only form on critical thinking in this country is tv, and movies. No one reads anymore, except text messages.

Almost everything we eat is a carcinogen, and low in REAL Vitamin D which is the anti-cancer vitamin. Even whole foods are packed with pesticides, herbicides, and synthetic fertilizers. The chicken's used @ KFC are genetically modified to be large in size, and low in nutrients. As if the constant freezing, instant heating, and frying didn't kill off the remaining nutrients.

See the whole idea is a mind-body connection. Keep your mind healthy and you'll keep a healthy body by will, if you keep a healthy body you're helping blood flow and contributing to good health and brain activity. It's a 2-way street, and each affects the other. When we're sick it's likely from stress.

So when we watch TV shows that have no educational value whatsoever, look at ads until we are literally nauseous, and eat non-nutritional foods. It sucks. And we have little choice. Our supermarkets sell processed foods, whole foods are getting pricier.

Eat well, question everything, and don't eat fast food. It's addictive, and that's all there is to it. I used to eat it all the time, I found it difficult to stop, a mixture of addictive foods, and marketing, a deadly mix. I quickly gained almost 40 pounds in just 2 months working at a McDonalds as a 16 year old, and I have the metabolism of a 5 week old puppy...I was dumber, I made dumb decisions, I didn't eat other foods, and don't be fooled by getting Lettuce and Tomatoes, not only are they generally low in nutrients anyways, but the variety that Fast Food Comps use is genetically modified, which lessens the already low nutrients. Once I stopped eating any fast food, I not only didn't eat it but I didn't want it. I never want it, even when I'm stoned off my ass and that's all there is. Well maybe then, but still.

Motorcycles and Why they Kick Ass. 50th POST!

This is officially my 50th blog post. Although 1/2 of them probably never saw the light of a computer monitor...

Anyways anniversaries are overrated, and this is supposed to be about motorcycles, which up until 3 words ago I didn't even mention.

Motorcycles kick ass. Whether it be a 2009 Harley 883 Sportster, a Yamaha R1, Honda Shadow Rebel, 1969 Triumph, Ducati 900SS or 900 Monster, or even the simple but powerful Jap V-Twins of the 1980s.

I own and ride a motorcycle. In fact I would say I've ridden it 9/10 nice days we've had, which this summer hasn't been that common. I have a Honda Shadow VT750C. Nice V-Twin with a driveshaft for less maintenance. It's quick of course.

Any fucking ways, I'm trying to explain why motorcycles kick ass. Here is a list of reasons why, and Pros and Cons vs Cars.

Gas Mileage, an important issue these days.

-Bike that does a 10s 1/4m, has a 900CC engine, will probably get depending on the bike between 50-75 miles per gallon if ridden correctly. My bike, which is older still gets no less than 45mpg when I ride it hard, and 65mpg when ridden easy. But it still beats a brand new Shelby GT-500 in the 1/4m, and I have done that. I almost beat a new ZO6 Vette up to about 95 but he flew by that last second. I did however happen to fuck up shifting into 5th, and it's a 6-speed...

-Car, for instance lets find a 10s 1/4m Car that gets even 30mpg....looking, looking, ZIP! Even a Hybrid, the best of which do not get half the mileage of most bikes. Average Hybrid CAR not SUV gets 35-40mpg Highway. They are not fast...

However if we compare the Super Car, Lamborghini Gallardo Supperleggera, which gets probably 15mpg on the highway to an R1 which probably gets about 55mpg on the highway, and costs 10,000 next to $250,000 for the Supperleggera.

-Cost

Although bikes can't be ridden safely or comfortably in the rain, winter or cold you can't use them all the time. The higher end bikes like R1s cost about 1/2 of a normal car, like a Camry. But is much more fun while you are riding the R1 than any Camry is...

-Performance
a. Straight Line Acceleration. Bikes, low drag, high power to weight ratio not seen in cars, and weighs nothing.

b. Handling, sorry I have to give it to cars. Even the best bikes and riders have to swerve their body to turn or move the bike, and that is limited by your body hitting the pavement...so handling in most conditions (except in and out weaving in a straight) goes to the cars...

c. Top Speed- This is dead even. Although Cars have more capability to stick to the road, with Downforce and lift being carefully calculated in cars like Bugatti and McLaren, both of which go over 220MPH. High powered bikes like turbo 1000cc Hyabusa can reach 200mph+, but it's VERY unsafe and the slightest mistake can kill you. But since normal roads aren't meant for high speeds, I give it to the bike.

d. Braking, with the exception of a few bike Makes like Ducati, most cars stop QUICKER than bikes. Why this is I don't know, my only guess is it's intentional so the rider doesn't fly off the bike when they have to slam the brakes, even if done correctly, but I know it's true for most bikes they stop well over 120ft @ 60-0mph. Sadly, and many times it's dangerous in bikes when a car stops quick.

Safety-

Although Cars are steel surrounded, ABS brakes, Airbags and much safer, the fun factor of a bike far outweighs the danger, and that's why people ride. Besides, most bike accidents are actually not the fault of the biker, usually it's the lack of attention from car drivers.

There are many factors, cars have radios, only cruiser bikes do, and no need for AC in bikes, and all that good stuff.

So, all in all I say get the bike, and use it. Have cars for when you need them. For your dollar you won't feel any bigger rush than flying with the flick of your wrist and the snap of the shifter...It takes some time to learn, for me about 3 months until I felt totally 100% confident that I've learned all I need and wanted to. Although I'm lacking certain fear parts of the brain, so I rode the first day I bought it...

Cheech & Chong 2009 Light Up America Tour, Asbury Park NJ

I SMOKED A FAT ASS doobie with some cool peoples, right there 10 rows back from the stage. PERFECT VIEW!!! And the show was GREAT! they haven't lost a beat, they are still just as good as 1975, with a little extra pazazz. LOTS of cops at the show hiding behind curtains and things, it was funny cause the whole place stinked! It was awesome. A total mix of people, like taking 1700 people (full plus 35+ staff) randomly off the street, but tickets were nearly sold out weeks in advance. Lots of older hippies, some bikers, some straight up old school stoners, but mostly groups of people in their late 40's early 50's chilling. But again, like I said a mix of all people. Maybe 1/6th 18-21yo, 1/3 older "Conservative looking" folks, and the rest was a mix of greeks, geeks, and freaks.

The aroma of pot filled the air the entire show, this plain clothes officer was running around like a madman, I'm glad to say no one seems to have been busted.

Tommy's Wife, Shelby Chong started the show, about a 1/2 hour of her sexy cougar ass walking the stage making jokes about all sorts of things, it was pretty funny. I gotta say Tommy Chong is a lucky dude. She did a lot of amping up for the crowd, getting boos for Tommy going to jail, and Yeys for his getting out. A good amount of Anti-Bush jokes, especially since he put her husband behind bars for 9 months. Chong of all the people. It just made the cause stronger for us!!! She also announced how well the tour was going and that they're working on a new movie!!! It's gunna be awesome! My hat off to her, and a decent stiffy in my pants for Shelby Chong, that sexy Canadian Cougar Chica. She even pumped up the crowd to yell out bitch towards PMSing women....

Then instantly, with no hesitation Cheech comes out in the Odelay outfit, yellow shirt red suspenders, and beanie. They did the bit from Up in Smoke, it was GREAT! Crowd went nuts most of the show, and for every line they had. No comedic duo can match what they did, and how they entertained and pushed a lot of people into a better world. They are AWESOME dudes, pointing out stuff in the audience, and it was really heart felt. They did Lets Make a Dope Deal, The Dogs, The Old Man and the Ese Mexicano bit, and every bit you can think of. I've been to concerts that were way less amped. Not to mention they played ALL their good songs, Earache My Eye, Up in Smoke, Mexican Americans/Beaners(revised) and a few more for good measure. A few songs here are there...

For any of you people here who think Cheech might be "off his game" or is a traitor, or something like that. WELL I have this to say for you, they were going to make the movie, CHEECH HAS PLENTY OF GOOD MONEY!!! And Chong ended up in jail for the bongs. (Their advice for Bong Makers, Don't put a picture of your face and name on the bong) It was then Cheech put everying aside, and went to the aide of his old buddy and he was high as shit, you can just tell. He probably figures fuck it, he accomplished movies, TV, and all that clean entertainment, and more regular shit, but I think he just wants to party and who better to chill with than one cool guy.

2 Hours of straight non-stop comedy, pumped up toking sessions, all at a place Designed by the Architects who did Grand Central Station. You can totally tell. GREAT Acoustics, even though Cheech's guitar was having connection issues at first you could still hear him strumming away.

I can't describe how great of a show it was, and how fucking awesome it feels to be that close and know they looked at me when I yelled something out in a short silence, and they pointed out to me a bit. It was awesome. I'm still at a lack of words.

Obama Vs. Mcain, the Last 12 Days Before Election

Many people don't seem to understand the Collegiate system. It's complicated, and unnecessary. It's only there so Delegates and "Super" Delegates get to choose over the people who they'd like as the party's Candidate through many "screening processes" such as the Primaries and even filters people based on other unpublicized agendas for the party. So let's break it down really quick.

The Collegiate system works as each state has a certain amount of points based on their population and roughly how many Congressional Districts. Such as NY has roughly 21 million population, BUT 29 Congressional Districts, BUT it has 31 Electoral Collegiate Votes.

The Collegiate system trickles down to a local level. If you win 51% of votes in Counties 1, 2 and 3 which are in Region 1, you'll win ALL the Collegiate Votes for that Region. If you win the majority of the Voting Points for that State, you'll win ALL the Collegiate votes from that state. Which ranges from 3 (ND, Wyoming, Alaska, etc) - 55 (California.) You need 270 to win the US Presidential Election. So yeah, it's a system built for those in power to choose who they want in, and to make sure they continue living as a public official. It's a system that takes the idea of Democracy and throws it right out the window.

This same idea goes into the Primaries, EXCEPT Super-Delegates (former Party Officials, Senators, Congressmen, and even Ex-Presidents.) These individual people have the power equivalent to tens of thousands of votes. And there are many dozens, if not 100+ Delegates and Super Delegates per state. And you don't need all the people to vote one way, you just need 1% over, which is enough.

So now you understand the value of the Electoral Collegiate Voting System and how it works you can better understand one of the most important Elections of our generation. And yeah, The Collegiate System is total bullshit like you think it is. In 2000 it ruined Al Gore because the people who had the power to recall votes, and stop recounts in Florida were for Bush.

Obama has a Predicted lead that is climbing everyday, Considering a +10% advantage in certain states, and obviouslly Democratic (guaranteed win, NY, CA, NJ, Most of New England) or Republican (guaranteed loss, Alabama, Georgia, Utah, etc)

There are a few States Obama's popularity is only Leaning, which means a 6-10% Polling advantage, and have voted both ways MANY times. But all pollers have put a 10% Percentage Points "Race -/+" because they feel about 10% just won't vote at all when the time comes because he is black. They could be totally wrong and he loses by more then 10%, and they could be partly right and he wins 30%+ in all "leaning states" such as Pennsylvania, NH, Minnesota, Michigan.

For a good look at an Electoral Map go to NPR Electoral Collegiate Voting Map

Now, you've looked at the map. Understand how BIG of an advantage Obama has. According to NPR's sources, it's a 110 Point lead, McCain with 163, Obama with 273. If that was the election, Obama would have won.

It's actually possible for either of them NOT to get 270, but it's VERY unlikely, in that case I believe an extra vote is cast by Congress, I'm not sure. It's never happened that I'm aware of in the history of the US.

Now Obama has this big lead, he's getting about 1/10th the media time McCain and Palin have been the last week or so, but he keeps climbing in the polls substantially.

I'm NOT an Obama supporter, however I am against the Conservative Agenda of Tax-Breaks for the top 5% richest (who have 90% of Country's wealth.) The Power's that be have completely changed McCain, who has otherwise, except the past 5 years, has been more of an independent his whole public career. He is for this War, and will Continue to keep the same Agenda Bush has kept our country on for 8 years. And fuck it, let the world know we can have a black President, we're not as bad as people make us out to be.

So Vote Obama, not because he's great. In these eye's opinion he's good enough, but he is obviouslly intelligent, and I believe he will do a lot better then his critics claim. And fuck it, let the world know we can have a (1/2) black President, we're not as bad as people make us out to be.

Out with the Old....

As I sit and read the Blog's I've muttered onto the screen over the almost 2 years. I have had many different articles, from the emotionally venting, to the completely absurd.

This blog has been finished for a while. I don't need it anymore, and I have a more appropriate and meaningful project for my writing. A new Online Magazine in the form of a Web-Blog.

Everything from sourced news articles, editorials, and interviews, to the more popular, jokes, ramblings, editorials (yeah twice), music and movie reviews, art displays, and in the future Live Scetches, and animation too. And we're currently working on an interview with a group of Amatuer porn stars.

It's an open venue for anyone to open their mind. In whatever way they choose to do so, and if you copy it on paper. Then great. No one reads magazines anymore, so why not take the next step and become the first online Magazine for 20-somethings. If not the first ever ONLY Web based magazine and blog.

So I hope you all will view it. Soon I will use this blog as a big link for the Magazine. Editorials and articles, and most contributions will be made by me and Weckeman Stephens, a newly discovered up and comer on the Web-Mag scene. Yeah we made the Web-Mag scene up, but he's new, sorta jew and has a last name for a firstname, and a first name for a last name.

Why Sarah Palin is a Complete FAKE!! And where is she...

Sarah Palin sure had a mouthful to spit out during the RNC. She wouldn't shut up about how unimportant our Bill of Rights are, and more right wing, neo-conservative crap.

They focus on her kid's upcoming kid, trying to gain celebrity status and cloud her past decisions and clear inability to run...well anything. Which in just less than 2 years she's apparently managed to get Alaska in to a financial problem, and worked several scandalous issues into the office. Such as the firing of an Alaskan State Trooper who wouldn't hire her son in-law.

Nice restraint of power there, cause we all know abuse of power always works for the good of the Nation... ----Sarcasm

She sure is an attractive woman. Not attractive enough for me to ever vote for John McCain, but still I'd take that Ex-Mayor of a 5000 person town and make her pass my agenda until the Sun goes down (get it, that's like 6 months in Alaska....that's a loooong time to have sex.)

So ANYWAYS, back to the point. So we had this woman speaking at the RNC, and all I can say is....What? Nothing but the same rhetoric that scares and enslaves the minds of the American people into believing the whole bullshit idea that Brown people are going to kill your children in your suburban homes while you're sleeping. Otherwise, it's been almost 10 days we know about the Republican's VP pick, and not one single interview to speak of, not even with the fully slanted Fox News, or worse yet on Hannity's show.

So lets put this all together, The republicans pick an attractive, governor of the least populous state in the nation (with under 3.7% blacks), to speak a bunch of crap, show that she loves to preach against birth control, sex ed, free condoms, and pro-choice ideals. Shows how that works great, maybe if that kid that knocked up her daughter was wearing a condom, or she was on birth control MAYBE she wouldn't be a pregnant teen. Have fun trying to get VP mom, or pissed off First Man (Palin's Husband, no idea what his name is, probably something like Dave) to pay attention to that baby assuming they get elected. Wow, the republican party has decided to exploit another life for their own good. Old White Men are so great!!! God I love them!!

I just wanna squeeze their wrinkled old asses, then slap Sarah Palin's head in there and sell it on PPV for 29.99 a pop.

So over all, I wonder if the RNC is giving Sarah Palin a super-crash course in the real media (you know here in the real USA.) Anyways I'm sure they are and that's exactly the reason I know she isn't in the media right now. Well good luck out there, for more please read the following articles...

Poety for Poets

You save me when my skies are gray

and bring the sunshine into my day

my perception changes, thoughts rearranging

as I pull hard to get my mind regurgitating

the ideas that flow, the drive that says go

when I won't be left alone, I know where to go

i pick you out and wrap you tight

as I stare up at night

it keeps me closer to jah above

and it makes me want to love

i use you to keep myself in tune and clear my mind

i even used you to while I wrote this rhyme

as I wait for new things to come

your always there waiting with some

if you all dont catch the drift

than i suggest you dig a ditch

and put yourself in that hole

cause you're better off there, all alone.
