It seems that every single photo I've taken in the last four years may be lost forever... My backup hard drive is crashing. Due to the shit-fucking-fest that is Windows-kill-yourself-vista I was not able to save my work AND make a backup at the same time so I was only able to make one copy. Here's the kicker- I bought a new hard drive as a back up the same day that my older one crashed. What fun! Wheeeee!!!! I'm trying to salvage what I can but my old drive takes an entire day to transfer a single photo file at the moment. Right now my computer is tring to transfer one folder with ten pictures in it. The counter tells me that there are 3 days and 17 hours remaining for the transfer.

I want to shove a knife through my throat. This is pretty much my entire body of decent work. Ugh.

"Now, after she shaved her head in a bizarre
episode that culminates a months-long saga of
controversial behavior, it's the question being
asked
by her fans, her foes and the general public: What
was
she thinking?"-- Bald and Broken: Inside Britney's
Shaved Head, Sheila Marikar, ABC.com, Feb. 19

What was she thinking? How about nothing? How about
who gives a shit? How's that for an answer, Sheila
Marikar of ABC news, you pinhead?

I'm not one of those curmudgeons who freaks out
every
time that Bradgelina moves the war off the front
page
of the Post, or Katie Couric decides to usher in a
whole new era of network news with photos of the
imbecile demon-spawn of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.
I
understand that we live in a demand-based economy
and
that there is far more demand for brainless
celebrity
bullshit than there is, say, for the fine print of
the
Health and Human Services budget.

But that was before this week. I awoke this morning
in
New York City to find Britney Spears plastered all
over the cover of two gigantic daily newspapers,
simply because she cut her hair off over the
weekend.
To me, this crosses a line. My definition of a news
story involves something happening. If nothing
happens, then you can't have "news," because nothing
has changed since the day before. Britney Spears was
an idiot last Thursday, an idiot on Friday, and an
idiot on both Saturday and Sunday. She was,
shockingly, also an idiot on Monday. It will be news
when she stops being an idiot, and we'll know when
that happens, because she'll have shot herself for
the
good of the planet. Britney Spears cutting her hair
off is the least-worthy front page news story in the
history of humanity.

Apparently, from now on, every time a jackass sticks
a
pencil in his own eye, we'll have to wait an extra
ten
minutes to hear what happened on the battlefield or
in
Congress or any other place that actually matters.

On the same day that Britney was shaving her head, a
guy I know who works in the office of Senator Bernie
Sanders sent me an email. He was trying very hard to
get news organizations interested in some research
his
office had done about George Bush's proposed 2008
budget, which was unveiled two weeks ago and
received
relatively little press, mainly because of the
controversy over the Iraq war resolution. All the
same, the Bush budget is an amazing document. It
would
be hard to imagine a document that more clearly
articulates the priorities of our current political
elite.

Not only does it make many of Bush's tax cuts
permanent, but it envisions a complete repeal of the
Estate Tax, which mainly affects only those who are
in
the top two-tenths of the top one percent of the
richest people in this country. The proposed savings
from the cuts over the next decade are about $442
billion, or just slightly less than the amount of
the
annual defense budget (minus Iraq war expenses). But
what's interesting about these cuts are how Bush
plans
to pay for them.

Sanders's office came up with some interesting
numbers
here. If the Estate Tax were to be repealed
completely, the estimated savings to just one family
-- the Walton family, the heirs to the Wal-Mart
fortune -- would be about $32.7 billion dollars over
the next ten years.

The proposed reductions to Medicaid over the same
time
frame? $28 billion.

Or how about this: if the Estate Tax goes, the heirs
to the Mars candy corporation -- some of the world's
evilest scumbags, incidentally, routinely ripped by
human rights organizations for trafficking in child
labor to work cocoa farms in places like Cote
D'Ivoire
-- if the estate tax goes, those assholes will
receive
about $11.7 billion in tax breaks. That's more than
three times the amount Bush wants to cut from the VA
budget ($3.4 billion) over the same time period.

Some other notable estimate estate tax breaks,
versus
corresponding cuts:

* Cox family (Cox cable TV) receives $9.7
billion
tax break while education would get $1.5 bill... ]]> =revblank http://revblank.deviantart.com/journal/11958024/ http://revblank.deviantart.com/journal/11958024/ Sun, 25 Feb 2007 07:54:39 PST [link] . I wanted to repost it and share with everybody:

Our planet has consistently provided every one of our basic needs since the dawn of mankind. Food grows naturally for sustenance, with little to no extra preparation needed. Water flows through streams and comprises the oceans, again with very little human input to make it into a consumable resource. Trees provide shelter from the heat, rain, and forceful winds, and turn our respiratory waste back into breathable air. Like a caring and giving mother, our Earth has taken good care of us for countless years.
However, in the last two hundred years humans have carelessly treated the grain with harmful pesticides, polluted the water and air, as well as cut down the trees on our mother planet. The only planet we have is being plagued by an almost parasitic child that it not only helped grow but survive to this era as well. We as a species have mistreated the only thing we truly all have in common, the ground below us.
The majority of people throw away their garbage, and any other materials they don’t want anymore, away like it’s going to disappear forever; out of sight, out of mind. Many of them have never visited a landfill and seen all the things that they and everyone else simply discard. The mountainous multitude of plastics, paper refuse, abandoned portions of food, scraps of various metals, and other undesirables is truly a disgusting sight to behold. And that doesn’t include the trash people just toss out onto the roads and dispose of in other ways. Most of this waste can be recycled and reused again in the same or similar products that it originally came from. There are some cities that enforce mandatory recycling regulations, such as the nation’s capital. There are some that implement a program to separate the kinds of different garbage into their specific groupings when it gets to the dump. Still there are places where there is no effort to recycle at all. For such a simple and effective solution to better the environment we live in, some people refuse to invest the small amount of money needed to fund such an important initial move in the direction towards a better world for all of us.
Everyday we need to be transported to one place or another. The most common and convenient form of quick transportation is the automobile. While in larger cities mass transit is made possible by subways and buses the most popular form of transportation is still the personal car. The amount of ozone destroying emissions continues to increase as the numbers of drivers also increase. SUVs are a growing trend among the American public as families seem to grow in size. The high amount of gas consumed by these massive automobiles puts out a lot of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. With limited advances in alternative fuel sources in powering the vehicles we drive there is very little alternative to burning fossil fuels.
While the American family expands the need for lumber to build houses, land to build the houses on, paper for children to use in school and for the adults to use at work, is increased. Thus more trees are needed to be cut down to supply this demand. The average American family drives an SUV. They are, for the most part, very gas consuming and with more of them being on the road expelling more carbon dioxide and fewer trees to make the air breathable again our air is becoming more and more polluted at an ever disturbing rate.
We dump chemicals into the water, such as shampoo and antibacterial soap, to get rid of them as well as chemicals designed to clean the water. After we have contaminated the waters with these man made unnatural compounds we then think it safe to ingest the water somehow believing it isn’t unhealthy. The fact that we continue to abuse our water by disposing of the kinds of waste products into it as we do, such as nuclear reaction by-products, and allowing all the chemicals we discard to just be poured down the drain tells me we aren’t very concerned about our future.
Ultimately the future of our planet is a goal we must all work towards. We must find alternatives to all the trees we cut down, the water supply we misuse, and the fossil fuels we burn at the rate we do. Regardless of what age we live to the world will go on without us and it is our responsibility to make sure our mother Earth can survive with us. If the planet can continue to sustain life then we can be sustained as well. Our grandparents, parents, and the generations of today are the people responsible for shifting the environment to the point that it is getting. Therefore it is vital to our species, as well as many other creatures, to take care of our planet and start shifting the balance of nature back to where it belongs. Now that Man has grown up it is time to take care of our only Mother.

Anyway, when I got up I took the sheets off the bed to change them and decided to flip the mattress while I was at it. So I did and low and behold I had sweated all the way through the mattress!!

"caution, may start fires"

Oh thank god! I WAS going to use the log to start a fire, but now I know better. That could have been quite the mishap!!

What the hell!?! It's as bad as labeling coffee as "hot." I understand it's so companies don't get their cans sued off, but c'mon! Do we really have to be THAT careful? Thank goodness it was passed, the stupid clause or something, that folks can't sue for stuff like that anymore. If we're lucky packaging will no longer have the need for silly warnings. I can't wait for the day when I can go to the store and pick out a product that merely says "log."

The Anniversary

This morning while I was at work I saw President Bush being interviewed on the news. I think I heard it right but I could be wrong, but so far there's been 450 billion dollars spent on the war on terror. Now on the day of 9/11 we should remember those who lost there lives 5 years ago. But we should also remember the people who lost there lives just 1 year ago to hurricane Katrina. The reason I bring up that is because Im sure it wouldnt take 450 billion dollars to rebuild the affected cities on our gulf coast. I mean with possibly 2 billion dollars there would have been enough money to build nice apartments and businesses in the hurricane ravished regions of our country. I think 2 billion wouldnt have solved the problem but It would have been a helluva start. I dont support the war now because really who are we fighting. I think it would have been really patriotic for us to bring troops home after the hurricane hit, made sure we got peoples lives back in order here and then after that if we still felt like war was neccesary we could have entertained the thought of such. 450 billion means nothing to the families of the young kids who have lost there lives during the war but just think 450billion would have not only rebuilt after Katrina It would have given money to the sick who had no medical insurance, feed homeless children in our country, helped our education system, and could have been used to start businesses for people who needed jobs in our country. 450 billion dollars could have helped this country out a lot but unfortunately its being used to fight a war for the killing of innocent young people. For everyone who lost there lives on 9/11 you wont be forgotten but if they were looking down from heaven now I think they would probably want that money used to help our own country rather than helping to finance the unnecessary killing of people. Some may read this and not agree but to not agree would only strengthen my point. Osama Bin Laden is the reason for most of this but just like any other bully if we stop paying attention to him Im pretty sure he would go away. Whats he done since 9/11. Hide in caves. George W Bush is a far bigger threat to the American people than Bin Laden. Think about that.


My response:

It's sickening that our government won't even take care of our own, but what's even worse is the fact that we went after the wrong people in this war to begin with. As much of a bastard that Saddam is, he's not the one who bombed us on Sept. 11th. That's what i really don't understand. This country's leaders make me so sad. There's no interest in the American people it seems.
On the same note, I refuse to call this war the "War on Terror." It's dumb. Terror is a fear that each individual has to conquor within themselves. We are supposedly fighting "Terrorism," not terror. I WILL NOT be persuaded by scare tactics, and that is one of the most blatent. Fuck Bush, and right now, fuck this whole entire country. We should be making our voices heard, but instead we seem to just complain to each other. It makes me nuts and it gets NOTHING done. I'm going to repost this message in a blog I think.
Talk to ya, man
Jeff

THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE HELPLESS DOGS THAT ARE VICTIMS OF THE HORRIFYING EXPERIMENTS BEING CONDUCTED BY IAMS PET FOOD COMPANY BOYCOTT IAMS AND HELP PUT A STOP TO THEIR SUFFERING



Christmas
The last three letters of his lab identification are mas, thus his name. But his life is far from a celebration. PETAs investigator discovered that his ears had been allowed to reach a level of such extreme filth that they required medication. She noticed the problem only by giving Christmas hands-on attention which he had never previously received. His feet have developed sores from years of living on cement and slatted metal.


Fifi
Fifi has been used in Iams studies for at least six years. She hides in the back of her cage constantly.



Maddog
MadDog is frustrated by his life in a 3-foot-by-3-foot cage. He often pushes his food bowl onto the floor to get attention but it hasnt done any good. He has been caged for Iams metabolic studies for six years. His voice was taken from him surgically during PETAs investigation.



Maisy
Maisy loves attention but rarely gets it. Its even harder now that shes been debarked and has no voice. Maisy has been caged since September 18, 1997.


Maxine
Maxine hides in the back of her steel cage and in the gutter of her cement kennel. Maxine has trouble eating when she is locked in the metabolic cage. She was surgically debarked along with 18 other Iams dogs during PETAs investigation. Iams did nothing to stop Maxine or the others from losing their voices.



Mickey
Mickey has spent almost her entire life in Iams metabolic studies. She becomes extremely depressed when taken from her cement kennel to be put into the steel metabolic cage.



No Name
This Iams dog has no nameonly a laboratory identification number. She lives in a dark building with no access to the outdoors or natural light, along with approximately 100 other dogs. Because she has no resting board and is not removed from the cage during cleaning time, she often is forced to sit or lie on wet concrete. She is lonely, sweet, and depressed.



Sally
Sally is extremely timid. She was born on April 10, 1996, and has spent the last six years trying to sleep and walk on cold wide-slatted floors. Many dogs injure themselves when their legs become stuck in between the slats.


IamsCruelty





PLEASE REPOST THIS AND BETTER YET WRITE A LETTER TO IAMS TELLING THEM HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THE FACT THAT THEY ARE TORTURING ANIMALS FOR PROFITS!! BOYCOTT IAMS!!

Listening to: A Civil Critique by Nasum

So I was sitting outside in downtown K.C. with a friend of mine and having some coffee. I had put my drawing pad aside and was just staring into space, thinking about my work, life and other depressing shit when one of our Metro busses (our crappy public transit system) pulled up to the curb accross the street, stopped and parked. This is what the bus drivers do when it's time for their 15 minute break. They just stop and hang out. Now, I realise this story isn't so interesting so far. Bear with me.

The coffee place we were sitting at is where my friend Mike and I like to go on weekday nights- specifically around 9:30, 10:00 pm. Okay, so the bus pulls up and the driver gets out- with his bagpipes. This is a man around 50 years old, heavy set, and very quiet (I've tried talking with him. He doesn't say much.). He hauls his pipes out with him and proceeds to play the sweetest nectar that a downtown area could possibly hear. Even those of you who HATE bagpipes would be driven to tears. The sound reverbrates off of the buildings and surrounds you. Traffic is no longer audible. The only thing that would make that fifteen minutes perfect for me is if the world just stopped for that beautifully short amount of time and just shut the fuck up. Stop moving, stop thinking, stop worrying. It makes you think that everything will be just fine.

Just thought I would share.

Listening to: Phoenix in Flight by Converge

Just a quick update for those of you who care. The doll project I'm working on is finally wrapping up. I finished two new dolls today and as soon as the paint dries I'll be shooting them. Just three more to go, I think. My very good friend Mike Bagby is writing the stories for each one, and him and I are starting to look for local publishers. Hey, I figure start small and see where it takes us, right? Besides, it's my dream to publish a book and I could care less what publisher prints my work, as long as I get to keep all creative freedom. Another friend is going to be hosting some art shows come fall and I've been invited to help out with them. She also invited me to show my work, so that's exciting for me! Let's see how it goes with the folks here in the Bible Belt. I have a feeling that a lot of people won't like my work, but bad publicity can be a great thing so who cares? In the past most of my pieces didn't go over very well, but this time I'm going for a train wreck kind of feel. The bible bangers won't be able to look away!

Also coming up I'm doing shoots with a couple of friends, one of which is driving 200 miles just to shoot with me. It's VERY flattering that she'd go all that way!

That's about it for now. Stay creative everyone (I know you will)!

-Jeff

Listening to: Running Redlights by The Life and Times
Reading: Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card

Does anyone know where I might find a copy of the "Chas A. Strelinger" catalog from anywhere between 1900 and 1945? It's got some great plates and drawings in it that I need for some tattoo work. Just thought I'd throw that out there. You never know.

Listening to: Symphonaire Infernus Et Spera Empyrium by MDB
Reading: Dirty Job by Christopher Moore

I was sitting on my porch tonight and was listening to the fireworks go off all around me. Not imediately in front of my house, but of the echos surrounding. There's just something strangely calming about it, but I can't quite put my finger on it. It sounded like a warzone, but I was lulled into a doze by it. Huh. Strange.

Listening to: To Cure a Weakling Child by Aphex Twin

Ah yes. Nothing celebrates the independence of our country better than getting drunk and blowing up a bunch of shit. My wife works in CAT scan in one of our major hospitals here in K.C. and she tells me this is the busiest week of the year for injuries, specifically burns, dismemberments, car wrecks (due to drunkeness), domestic beatings for some jacked up reason, among many other examples. Just thought I'd share. Have a hell of a time kids. If you blow off yer digits, send em to me so I can photograph them.

Are people really this retarded?







yes.

And seriously- gimmie yer fingers.

Actually, while your at it, go and check out [link] UYFANYM's site also.

Both of these incredibly talented people have been so good to me that it's the lest I can do to "pimp their shit."
