How can you tell if you are cursed?

Friday, August 31st, 2012

So I’m going to bore you by sharing a beautiful story about my own life today (again). 

Ok, I was taking a stroll in this town I sort of know (name withheld) , in the good old states , of course. And so I got out of my car(which is a pos =).

Now, like most Americans I tend to use my GPS for everything because its very accurate, and Its installed on my iphone.

Anyways, I got out of my car, took my iphone with me, and started using my gps app to find this restaurant , I was meeting a business partner, naturally.

And as I was walking , I was so focused on the whole “gps” thing, that I walked forward completely oblivious to my surroundings, now this would not be such an issue on most days, but today was special, yes, very special.

Yes, today the townsfolk decided to trim the branches of the “low” trees, the young ones with the annoying branches that you have to squat to avoid.

Going forward, I did not see them, nor was I concerned about the fact that my head would not clear them.

All of a sudden, I felt this super sharp pain on the tip of my scalp, I was awestruck.

And so , as a normal human would, I twitched in pain and began touching the top of my head to “see the damage”.

The funny thing is, my hand was drenched in blood when I looked at it after touching my skull.

So, as I was saying fuck discretely not to disturb the fellow commoners passing me by, I ran to some small fast food place and grabbed a few paper napkins.

Thinking this would be sufficient, I  rubbed my head, and again the towels would not stop sucking up blood.

So I sat there, and all of a sudden I looked up. I knew I was close to the Atlantic ocean and all, and seagulls are not a rare site to me , but these ones flew especially strangely.

They took that sort of “stuka dive bomber” type tactic towards me, naturally I assumed they were expecting me to feed them.

But as they got closer, I saw something, in very slow motion.

These bastard seagulls were dropping bombs. The white, moist bombs were literally flying at an angle towards me. I just said “shit” and 3/15 landed directly on my head, a few more on my shoes and one on my lips.

So, what are the chances that this could all happen to someone  as it did to me? Well, have you ever gotten shat on your head by a bird? 99% of the earth’s population never will, let alone have three shits land on an open wound.

God, it’s at times like this that any man feels cursed, although this whole situation is rather funny to me -_-

Hurricane Isaac to blow over peacefully

Friday, August 31st, 2012

So good news, the so called “Second Katrina” is going to blow over by the end of tomorrow. Although it has caused a bit of flooding and power outages, it was nothing more than an inconvenience to this country(because the more we wast on internal improvement, the more we will charge for gas, and we can add the recent drought in the Midwest to this concoction of issues. Leading economists predict the damage will stay at 1 billion $(US),again , a simple inconvenience.

Rest assured people of the states, our only issues left are from the flooding , which has left residences drenched in a few feet of water, as hurricanes tend to do.

Aokigahara Forest -the sea of trees and souls- a revisit

Tuesday, August 28th, 2012

We recently wrote about the mystique surrounding Aokigahara Forest, following a beautiful documentary on the forest in regards to it’s infamous side.

We decided to share some more recent knowledge with you about the worlds second largest suicide destination in the world, the golden gate bridge being the first.

We read about a book from 1993 by the now infamous writer Wataru Tsurumui , and his deemed “suicide manual” where he writes about the art of suicide, and the many tactics one should do and not do to die honorably. Ironically, he states the beautiful forest beneath the great Mount Fuji as “the perfect place to die”.

Some say you find one dead person hanging from a tree every 10 yards

Some say you find one dead person hanging from a tree every 10 yards

 

From 1993-2012 the number of confirmed suicides stands at 633, this is quite shocking, simply because 90% of the people that hang themselves or die of sleeping pill overdoses etc, are never recovered. In japan, the fact that the said person’s car has been at the entrance of the forest for a few hundred days does not mean the person is diseased.

The Japanese government tried to have the suicide manual banned, to no avail.

Some background: 

Traditionally Aokigahara forest was a place of lost souls of the old, sick and dying. During times of famine, and natural disaster, the elderly, sick and very young would be sent to the beautiful forest to die of starvation, this would give most families ample supplies to feed those strong enough to survive the famines.

The forest was created in the year 936, mount Fuji erupted in this once arid and dry region, spewing sulfurous ash around the base, causing the forest to grow. Beautiful and large, it is one of the best preserved forests in all of Japan.

550 pound bomb found in German construction site

Tuesday, August 28th, 2012

Do you remember how back in early 2011 two bombs were removed from the river Rhine? Or perhaps you remember when we first started our website, we told you about how we would cover the whole Olympic Summer Games 2012 and how there was a German bomb from world war II in the stadium construction site?

Well, another bomb was found, yesterday the 550 lb mark VIII bomb was  found under the soil of some building foundation in the shopping capitol of the world : Munich, Germany.  An old relic sent over by the RAF or USAF some 60 years ago.

The bomb posed such a threat that thousands were evacuated from the city, like a herd of sheep.

Luckily the bomb was successfully defused, and nobody was hurt. But, it is unfortunate to see the longer lasting impacts of war on the environment. We hope this will be the last bomb ever found in Germany.

We strongly believe that Iran should stay in Iran, and the USA should not take any military actions against a nuclear power.

Sunday, August 26th, 2012

We received some enlightenment recently on the delicate struggle of power and the very real prognosis of a nuclear war in the middle east. In the final half of the year two thousand and twelve of our lord Jesus Christ, we believe that this “gathering tempest” can indeed lead to the final battles of human existence on the tops of mount mount megiddo ( Armageddon).

Although it seems like destiny cannot be changed, and that nuclear war is unavoidable, we strongly believe that if these two countries can simply ignore each other, we can change destiny. All that is needed is one spark, that spark would lead to a great fire that could end humanity.

Man’s worst fear is on the verge of occurrence. There are two nuclear powers, armed with multiple nuclear weapons, pointed at each other. The difference between what might have been during the cold war, and what is now, is that there is a history of violence between these two religions. These are two countries founded on religious zealotry.

When you hear someone say ” I am glad to die for my country” , they may bluff, but when someone is ready to die for their religion, this is not a bluff, as we have seen during the attacks of 9/11 and hundreds of more minor , yet similar incidents.

Our solution is as men of the free world , be it  Canada, USA, Russia, Germany, The United Kingdom, Japan , Australia, France and so much more, we have the ability to look at something like this and see that this is indeed going to happen. You don’t have to be very smart to see that they are both mocking each other, this war is inevitable.

What can we do?

For one , we need to stay out of this engagement militarily. We cannot simply threaten them both with violence, this is a formula to cause “preemptive strikes”.

Both countries do not fear death due to the tremendous zealotry their religions have in common, nothing can change this, we cannot threaten them with death if they embrace it.

What can we do?

We must remind them of the good within all humans, we must have them understand that people should work together, progress is essential in society. Destroying each other will slow human progress. We don’t want a single person  to die ignorant of reality, for if this becomes the case, then may god have mercy on humanity as a whole.

 

NYC shooting leaves nine injured , two dead

Saturday, August 25th, 2012

So, a 58 year old women’s clothing designer (last name Johnson) came into his former area of employment, and emptied 9 rounds into one of his former coworkers. Johnson killed the man.

Upon exiting the building , three police officers began volleying shots at Johnson, whom did not fire back.

Well, they killed him ,but, they took seven commoners with him. All of these people are expected to survive, but the thought of them accidentally injuring 7 is a scary one.

Saturday, August 25th, 2012

Niel Armstrong died early today from cardiovascular complications. He quickly became famous some fifty years ago when he landed on the moon -a feat thought impossibly by men of his time-. We are sad to see yet another great person die, but that is the sad way of life. RIP Neil Armstrong August 5th ,1930- August  25th, 2012.

Mark David Chapman dened parole for the 12th year in a row

Thursday, August 23rd, 2012

Mark David Chapman, 57, the psychopathic murderer of former Beatle John Lennon,  was eligible for parole in 2000. Only ten years after gunning down the famous singer and song writer John Lennon. Nevertheless, he was sentenced to 20 years -life by the justice department of New York. After 10 years, he was eligible for parole due to “good behavior”.

He was denied in 2000, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2007,2008,2009,2011, and now 2012 because it is a wise sentiment that releasing him in the public would not only endanger others, but more likely Chapman, since he did kill a worldwide sensation.

Texas judge warns of possible American civil war

Thursday, August 23rd, 2012

A Texas judge earlier today stated (for about the fifth time) that “if Obama is reelected, the people would have to revolt, and fight Obama’s UN backed troop”. He strongly believes Obama wants to cede america to the UN. Although it sounds paranoid, people agree with him in the masses. Now is that just a myth?

We let you be the judge of that.

You can read more about the initial “observation” here: Click here then you can try to piece that video together with the statement.

Facebook Buys Instagram

Thursday, August 23rd, 2012

You heard it right! We just got news that facebook was approved to buy instagram with 750 million dollars. It appears facebook is doing this due to the lack of shareholders in their stocks(about 20$ per stock now), and the popularity of instagram as a newer, more trendy social network. God knows what will happen to instagram now.
