Welcome To Fuck It Retreats

Welcome To Fuck It Retreats

Monday, 06. February 2012

You know, I tried yoga and all of that, and in all honesty, it is not for me. Mostly, I just fell over and farted a lot, much to the amusement of everyone else. My wife has been on my vase for nigh on 4 years to go on some ...

The Gypsy Gentleman: Episode 2

The Gypsy Gentleman: Episode 2

Wednesday, 01. February 2012

Thanks to the Vancouver Chapter for bringing this to my attention- a web based by Marcus Kuhn show about cool shit: tattoos, people living happily outside of the propagated mainstream, good tunes and living a good live. What I initially liked about the most was the relaxed, honest and understandable- ...

Lists Of Note: Things To Worry About

Lists Of Note: Things To Worry About

Wednesday, 01. February 2012

I like lists, I probably make about 2-4 a day, ranging from my daily, shit-to-do list at work, to grocery lists and then at the end of the day, people whose ass needs kicking lists on the next day. Surely, most of you know the site, "Lists Of Note" - ...

The Booming Business Of American Slavery

The Booming Business Of American Slavery

Monday, 30. January 2012

I think anyone with half a brain has always known that the "War on Drugs" was nothing more than a scam to get free, or at least cheap labour into the American Privatized Manufacturing System, aka, prison. Personally, I still can't get over the fact that prisons can be, and ...

Jim Wendler’s 5/3/1 (2nd ed.)

Jim Wendler’s 5/3/1 (2nd ed.)

Friday, 27. January 2012

Though The Reference Council is a men's lifestyle mag you won't find any of the usual "How to get that six-pack-look for the beach" or "How to pump your biceps-peak" bullshit here. Not because we are lazy fucks (well, sometimes we are), but because we do not believe in the ...

Whiskey Blender

Whiskey Blender

Wednesday, 25. January 2012

Whiskey Blender is a website / service that let's you blend your own brand of whiskey based on 7 different stock whiskeys. Seriously, I haven't been this excited all week. Whilst, the variety of usable whiskeys to blend with is seemingly a little small, this is still the best thing ...

Levi’s – Locals Only: Marseille

Levi’s – Locals Only: Marseille

Wednesday, 25. January 2012

There is this huge story behind this video that I won't get into here, those who need to know, do so, but to wrap it up: The head of the Black Lodges Marseille Chapter, Anthony Dettori, does some really good work on the Levi's skateboarding project. I spent my summer ...

The Filthy Little Atheist…Founding Father

The Filthy Little Atheist…Founding Father

Wednesday, 25. January 2012

I love fucking with religious nutbags around the world and exposing their idiocy, hatred and bigotry by simple use of opening up a High School level history book. Luckily, Daniele Bolelli recently put out a book called: " 50 Things You're Not Supposed To Know: Religion, ", which I can again ...

Megaupload, SOPA And One Giant Fuck You

Megaupload, SOPA And One Giant Fuck You

Tuesday, 24. January 2012

The filthy rich bastards that control our governments must be having a party and a half these days. Ever since SOPA etc became a public debate, and with public opinion for once not rolling with the bought for and controlled media I bet some of these fat cats were getting ...

Your Daily WTF: The CIA & Charles Taylor

Your Daily WTF: The CIA & Charles Taylor

Tuesday, 24. January 2012

Like anyone with half an analytical brain would need any more proof that the majority of activities the CIA has decided to engage in since its creation has been nothing shy of dumb and criminal, add this piece of information onto the scale. Just last week, Foreign Policy, reported on ...

For God So Loved the 1 Percent …

For God So Loved the 1 Percent …

Tuesday, 24. January 2012

With the increasing spectacle that is the Republican Campaign Trail- I mean is it just my sadistic self, but I can't stop watching that lunacy- the New York Times, especially their Op-Ed writers are starting to make up for the shit they pulled in 2001-2003. Case in Point, this exceptionally ...

Notes On How To Actually Make A Change, SOPA

Notes On How To Actually Make A Change, SOPA

Monday, 23. January 2012

Whilst I am still in the middle of writing my two cents on SOPA, some clever little git put together this very simple plan of how to have a real impact on this whole notion of SOPA. Since everything is quantified these days and it is all about economics, this ...

Daniel Ellsberg On The Limits Of Knowledge

Daniel Ellsberg On The Limits Of Knowledge

Monday, 23. January 2012

Daniel Ellsberg might not make it to the top of your usual hype sites as the next cool guy, but I have always been fascinated by his intellectual output. He rose to fame in 1971 when he released the Pentagon Papers, whose full scope only was released to the public ...

Your Daily WTF

Your Daily WTF

Monday, 23. January 2012

I was browsing reddit during a very comatose stint yesterday when I came across this article from last year about Virginia State Delegate Bob Marshall (R ) - like I had to mention that he is a "Republican" that, aside from waking me up, also made want to punch my ...

Boycott SOPA App

Boycott SOPA App

Wednesday, 11. January 2012

I am still in the middle of writing a big report on SOPA and I hope to get it done before January 18. If you feel in any inclined to bring your armchair / internet revolution to the real world, than this app is the way to go. Essentially, it ...
