Time to check your polka outfit.

I don't know about many of you as visitors to the domain of my odd things. But Ministry has been not a mainstay of mine, it has been inspiration. Like Led & his Perl Jam, I have a few groups that I will buy a disc, [today terms for what used to be called a record, LP, 45 single].

Ministry, New Order, Art of Noise, et al, were groups that I would listen to for various reasons, at various times, in various moods.

For what ever reasons, Al Jourgensen says that Ministry will no longer be after the next album. [again, referring to actual music media]

I hope that Al gets together with some others & continue the type of sound & vibe that has gotten myself & others though some serious shit in serious times.

The story is below.

Ministry Waves Goodbye After Next Album

Blessed Be, and don't crank to tunes too loud, it could cause your toes to shrink.

And that could make problems while walking.

BEING ZILLY Oh crap I just found out that the people still looking for Jimmy Hoffa think that they know where he is.

unfortunately, I was in the bathroom

but still, I really hope that I don't have to EVER be in the place of Kimberly Dozier.

Actually I would love to be doing what she is doing. I really hope that she comes through the incident of the car bomb that killed the camera & sound guys. Blessed Be both of them. But all the same, if I were to get sent out as a shooter, or squeak, Kim would be someone I could trust not to go into a WTF situation.

Things happen though. And as morbid as it sounds, I hope tape was rolling.

Blessed Be, and give a Vet a big hug when you can.

Dr, S.

UPDATE: Kimberly Dozier is back stateside. Still some time, pins, rods, & other things to happen for her legs, but she seems to be doing good & cracking jokes.

It seems that she can recall sound of the bomb going off. And when she was able to ask about the other two, [cameraman, & soundman], on the assignment, she simply closed her eyes as to comprehend finding out that they had died.

Again I say: If I ever get a chance to be a shooter or squeak [cameraman or soundman],

There are very few people I would go into situations like Kimberly Dozier and have full trust that what we are doing is gold.

For those that drink Rolling Rock - A plea to save Latrobe's brewery

I used to drink Rolling Rock beer.

And now that Anheuser-Busch bought them out, they want to close down the brewery in Latrobe, PA. This type of action WILL directly change not only the taste of the beer due to different brewing processes, but will ruin the lives of everyone that works or is affiliated with the Latrobe company. The link below explains the situation. And will give you the chance to sign an on line petition to be sent to the Anheuser-Busch upper muckity mucks. Check it out & sign it. If not for the people of Latrobe, PA, or as to support the stand of "the little guys" against "the man".

Do it for your fellow beer drinkers.

Blessed Be, [and don't forget to ice the cooler]

So what really did happen to flight 77 on 9.11.01?

I am not a 'conspiracy theory whack-job' about 9/11. Matter of fact after 4.5 years, "just let go of it & move on...", was my stand on the whole situation. What happened on that morning changed every American forever. Even here in SF, it directly effected those of us that day doing a "preset" for a dance company that was to perform the next day.

As I went to work that morning the radio in my truck kept talking about something happening with airplanes, and that was it for info. As I walked up to the other stagehands in the loading dock I asked "what the hell is going on, what the fuck happened?" Only then did I find out about the four airliners that were hijacked, at that time no one knew anything more.

As we got on to working on setting lights, sound, & laying marley dance floor, the day went on as normal until we heard that all air traffic had been grounded, then of the first tower being hit.

None of us could speak or move. We all just froze then went into a slow motion move to find the floor or comfy place to sit. "this cannot be happening..." was all that I could think.

It was decided that even though it had not been two hours, we all needed to go out & have a smoke.

After the pre-emptive break, we continued to work. But not without odd dark feelings of what had happened, lurking in the back of our heads.

Several hours later we found out that the show had been called, due to the Tech. Director & several others were stuck in the panhandle of Nebraska. And several of the dancers stranded in Hawaii, the other members just stranded here & there across the nation due to the grounding of anything that flew.

So after getting cut from work since the road-crew can not show up that afternoon, I went to my favorite pub. I walked in & the first thing I saw was the second plane plowing through tower #2.
I could not move for almost five minutes as I was paralyzed, staring at was on the big screen TV in disbelief.
.
Later on, to add to the shock. After the towers collapsed, I saw the nose end of one of the ladder trucks destroyed in the mess with a Snoopy on the front.

Right then I totally lost it.

Many of you know I have a thing for firetrucks. I almost bought one a couple years ago.

But when I lived in NYC, I would be walking to work in the Broadway district. There was a fire station that I got to know the guys on the crew.
It was a ladder company, and they had a Snoopy on the front of the ladder truck unit.

I knew these guys. And seeing that truck again really hit me hard. It would have been better if I saw it on a news show feature, or Letterman, you know, in a positive way, but not this.
Seeing that ladder truck, covered in rubble hit me really hard. Still does, and probably will for a long time.

So anyway. . . Back to why I am writing right now:

I saw something tonight that changed my stand of just let go & move on. It was a video of pretty solid facts about how there is no way that a Boeing 757 like flight 77's model could possibly be the cause of what happened at the Pentagon.

Before the video, <{-GO HERE-}>, to read the story if you want to.
I recommend doing so.

The video is currently being shown at Cannes Film Festival. It is called Pentagon Strike, and, like I said earlier, it makes its points, and does it very solid & very well. Also check out the various commentary links.

Pentagon Strike

Blessed Be.

Just consider how much your world can change in less than a second.

And there is nothing you can do.

Then consider how much our lives have changed since 9/11.
And there is everything we can do.

SPORE - This game will ROCK!

I saw a vid of the demo that Will Wright did @ E3 <{[CLICK]}>
{warning, it is very long aprox. 30+ min.}, But this is so freeking cool.

I cannot wait until next April.

Those of you that may remember programing the game life in BASIC, will remember that you have to pick & choose where the lifeforms start, hit return, & then see how the screen colonizes, or dies.

This is the same game, 20 years later, on steroids. And with graphics that will give the least likely game player a certain feeling in that 'special place'. It is a TOTAL evolution in more ways than one.

And even if you do not like playing games on your 'puter, you have to at least check out the shockwave intro to the site below.
SPORE

Life sucks, then it blows. and then . . . .

I got off of nine days of hell. I expected to have a day to myself. That did not happen.

I am sorry that I cannot fill up expectations of what some people think that I can.
I am sorry that I will not budge from the opinions & belief's that I have.
I am sorry that I cannot be a "responsible human being" for shit that happened that I have no control over.

But actually I feel for all of the things & people that I come across. I listen, I empathize, I can relate. Be it friend, stranger, or someone that I truly fucking hate.

I care.
I do not know why, but I do.

But, if I say "shut the fuck up!" That means that you should go lay down by your bowl bitch.

Please don't take it personal. But unlike House, Dr. Ruth, and oprah & springer.

I am not a 24/7 dump shit on to sort out what is going on. I have some shit myself lately to sort out that has fucked my world up down sideways, and with no lube.

AND I NEED SOME FREAKING SLEEP!
I tried to goto bed around 4am & the fucking phone rings, then 2 hours later again, repeat & rinse twice, this has lost it;s cuteness, then again about 90 min ago,

I don't know right now which is a better song, The Boxer, or Atomic Dog

I need the funk, and not the one I have right now

Blessed Be, Dr S.

as George Clinton & the P funk would say "Get off your ass & jam"
Simon & Garfunkel would say "Feeling Groovy"

German sues Easter Bunny

{this is an actual news story}

A German man has taken legal action against the Easter Bunny for grievous bodily harm.

Karl-Friedrich Lentze, from Berlin, has filed a complaint with prosecutors, accusing it of causing addiction to chocolate which leads to heart attacks, obesity and strokes.

Lentze said: "The Easter Bunny is a sadistic and unscrupulous offender who preys on people's sweet tooth.

"Find this evil bunny, handcuff his paws and remove him from shops in time for Easter."

Public prosecutor spokesman Christian Avenarius said: "We will act upon the complaint with speed and diligence."
