Welcome to Bitter Films: "temporary anesthetics"

From the guy that got turned down to do some commercials for something or other. It doesn't take too long to figure out why. Singularly awesome.

long time coming

Treehugger: Quote from R. Grudin's book Time and the Art of Living: "'The future is like a friendly stranger, polite and patient, forever trying to get acquainted with us, forever being rebuffed. If we did simple exercises for thirty minutes a day, we would greatly improve our strength, health, beauty, and life expectancy. If we studied for one hour a day, we could relatively soon learn languages, master wide knowledge, and..

..develop new professions. If we sensibly invested $1 a day, we would in thirty years control substantial wealth. If we did ourselves the almost absurdly simple honor of planning our free time, we would enlarge ourselves into a whole new dimension of freedom. Yet we often fail to do any of these things, so great is our contempt of the future, so massive our ignorance of ourselves. It would be for most of us a highly disagreeable experience to meet, in the flesh, our future selves. Not just for the visual shock of seeing our own spirits animating bent limbs, watery eyes, and sagging jowls; but for the moral shock of meeting individuals whom we have daily and disgracefully wronged.'"

one more time around

I woke the same,
as any other day except a voice was in my head.
It said, "sieze the day,
pull the trigger, drop the blade and watch the rolling heads."
The Day I Tried to Live,
I stole a thousand beggars' change and gave it to the rich.
The Day I Tried to Win,
I dangled from the power lines and left them all astretch.
One more time around, i might do it.
One more time around, i might make it.

The words you say,
never seem to live up to the ones inside your head.
The lives we make,
Never seem to ever get us anywhere but dead.

The Day I Tried to Live,
I wallowed in the blood and mud with all the other pigs.

I woke the same,
as any other day, you know i
should have stayed in bed.

The Day I Tried to Win,
I wallowed in the blood and mud with all the other pigs.
and I loved that i was alive.

The Day I Tried To Live
just like you.

One more time around.

Sleaze crisis in Kenya

Sleaze crisis in Kenya: "Sleaze crisis in Kenya prompts withdrawal of US funding"
Like the US has anything against sleaze! I love sleaze!

They keep referring to "sleaze". What do they mean, they never really define it! Just "sleaze".

the saga of Bloodninja

The Saga of Bloodninja
This is some of the funniest shit ever. I am literally laughing out loud at work, and have to stop reading it. It's a guy on old-school instant messgener, not sure the exact era... A sample:
Bloodninja: Wanna cyber?
DirtyKate: K, but don't tell anybody ;-)
DirtyKate: Who are you?
Bloodninja: I've got blond hair, blue eyes, I work out a lot
Bloodninja: And I have a part time job delivering for Papa John's in my Geo Storm.
DirtyKate: You sound sexy.. I bet you want me in the back of your car..
Bloodninja: Maybe some other time. You should call up Papa John's and make an order
DirtyKate: Haha! OK
DirtyKate: Hello! I'd like an extra-EXTRA large pizza just dripping with sauce.
Bloodninja: Well, first they would say, "Hello, this is Papa John's, how may I help you", then they tell you the specials, and then you would make your order. So that's an X-Large. What toppings do you want?
DirtyKate: I want everything, baby!
Bloodninja: Is this a delivery?
DirtyKate: Umm...Yes
DirtyKate: So you're bringing the pizza to my house now? Cause I'm home alone... and I think I'll take a shower...
Bloodninja: Good. It will take about fifteen minutes to cook, and then I'll drive to your house.
**pause**
DirtyKate:I'm almost finished with my shower... Hurry up!
Bloodninja: You can't hurry good pizza.
