Dogs and men


Very often other people can put it into words so much better than me, so there we go:

... My old best friend, my college roomate, burried his dog Clarence yesterday. There's something so connected between us and our dogs. I think JM Barrie's wife Mary Ansell said it best: "I have never really been happy with people. Some constraint tightens me up when I am with them. They seem so inside themselves, so unwilling to reveal their real selves. I am always asking for something they won't give me; I try to pierce into their reserves; sometimes I feel I am succeeding, but they close in again, and I am left outside. But with animals it is different. An animal is so helplessly itself...I become one with them. I, too, become helplessly myself. They never withhold themselves from me as men withold themsleves. When the dogs loved me, they did it without forethought or afterthought, because they couldn't help it. But men didn't love me unless they wanted to; unless I fitted in with their idea of me. The dogs didn't have an idea of me. They just loved me with passion and warmth, without thinking about it."

(from the comments to Brad Zellar's blog, if you ask me the only blog everyone in this fucked up world should read)

Where rockabilly clashes with punk


Baltimore Psychobilly (via Machtdose), a great radio station on one of my favourite sub-genres of rock. The humus for bands like The Cramps, Pere Ubu, Gun Club, Dead Kennedys, Nirvana and The White Stripes. Goth must originate around here, too. But the psycho part can also be interpreted as psychedelic. Psychedelic punk with strong blues roots could be a good description.

Pas très catholique


Tuvans have a higher than average syphilis infection rate; according to the Moscow Times, 2.5% of the population has the disease. This has been blamed on the Shamanist traditions of the Republic, which hold that a woman is more fertile if she has had a large number of sexual partners before marriage.

The faces, mutilated bodies and corpses of war


Fallujah in Pictures Pictures from Fallujah that probably won't be on your television.

i believe the american people are decent and not without humanity. they have not seen what is being done in their name. maybe we don't live in a world that can do without war. i do know that people need to know what war means before they decide.

If the world could vote...


Bush vs. Kerry

P.S. There is a serious flaw in this. Where is Bush's most loyal supporter, Mr Ralph Nader? How can anyone in the world be so obstinate? He must be payed by Bush, there is no other possibility.
