Wind at Your Back

It is hard to understand the significance of having the wind at your back until you spend some time with the wind in your face.

Jesse Ventura!

Go get a SIRIUS satellite radio!

Howard Stern interviewed the former Governor and SEAL on his show this morning and I have to tell you, the man is riveting. Ventura that is.

His take on Government is spell binding. There is no other logical explanation than Jesse"s. He speaks with conviction from an informed point of view.

Today Howard asked question's of Mr Ventura that lead us down a fascinating path.

Jesse Ventura's conspiracy theories just might be true. He asks good questions "Why did the World Trade Center Towers fall at the speed of gravity? In his estimation, speaking from the point of view of one of the worlds best trained demolitions expert, the collapse should have experienced some friction. Slowing its decent. I can't argue the point, sounds plausible and I do not know the answer.

Mr. Ventura's story leads to antidotes ranging from secret summits of the top of the Republican Party in 19992 to a call for Solidarity amongst Pro Wrestlers in a failed uprising of Vince McMahon's WWF empire.

The former Governor speaks his truths passionately, his logic is sound and his message is scary. He is also selling a book. Don't Start The Revolution With Out Me! I am going to read it.

A Gift

My mom gave me a laminated copy of the following, to place in my kitchen , in the window, behind the sink.

No one will ever get out of this world alive. Resolve therefore to maintain a reasonable sense of values. Take care of yourself.

Good health is everyone's major source of wealth. Without it, happiness is almost impossible. Resolve to be cheerful and helpful. People will repay you in kind.

Avoid angry, abrasive persons. They are generally humorless. Resolve to listen more and talk less. No one ever learned anything by talking.

Be wary of giving advice. Wise men don't need it and a fool won't heed it. Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, tolerant of the weak and the wrong. Sometime in your life, you will have been all of these.

Do not equate money with success. There are many successful money-makers who are miserable failures as human beings. What counts most about success is how a person achieves it.

I am not sure about the rules of putting this on my blog but just in case any of the readers here think that something this universal came from my brain it did not. Somebody else thought it up, I just don't know who.

Thanks mom.

Getting it Out of my Head

I was driving home from work last week listening to The Jim Breuer show when he interviewed Joe Rogan on his recent run in with Carlos Mencia. I guess Carlos has a reputation among comics as a joke thief. What impressed me about the story was how thought out, calm, cool and collected Joe Rogan was. The guy has a lot of theories and opinions and is not shy about expressing them.

I know Joe Rogan was or is the host of Fear Factor and a commentator for The Ultimate Fighting Championship. He was also on a sit-com with Andy Dick about a radio station back in the 90's. I knew he was a comedian, I knew of his disgust for joke thieves due to some of his interviews on the Howard Stern show.

I was not aware that 90% of his jokes are written when under the influence of THC. I was not aware of the fact that he has an isolation chamber in his house where he spends considerable time under the influence of hallucinogenics. One of his revelations from this time in his isolation chamber has stuck with me since I heard that interview. Joe Rogan's thoughts on mankind have burrowed into my head and I have not been able to shake the concept.

He stated that mankind is nothing more than an infection or bacteria on the planet Earth and that the evidence for this is the appearance of our cities from an airplane. Cities are scabs on the planet. Places where the stamp of mankind's injuries to the planet are most evident. Then he went on an even crazier riff that also rings true to me.

He was talking about conscience and where reality really happens. He made an argument that reality happens when we sleep and that the time we spend awake is the dream. This talk was in reference to a drug DMT that our brain manufacture during sleep that is the most powerful hallucinogen known to man. When you follow the link on DMT scroll down to the one titled Joe Rogan on Life. It all sounds nuts but like any good conspiracy there may be just enough truth to hold your attention.

If you have some time, follow the links and check it out for yourself.
