another science geek (with a twist?)

yes, and while sex shows can be quite amusing when there isn't too much cuteness, judgment, or pretentious casualness, it's still and doctor carin bondar panders so typically to the expected social morees that the initial attraction kind of wore off after a few videos... i still laugh and like her a lot, as i like laci, who tries to help people understand their sexuality (while carin is exploiting animal sex with a whole lot more stereotypical teasing and titillation... she puts on a little too forced casualness and mock seriousness for my tastes... gotta pander to the human ego to sell i suppose... she does do it well though... of course i am being judgmental and probably reading way too much into a few videos, but since i am doing that i'll suggest that she is displacing her own personal sexuality by always having some animal sex to talk about when she is stimulated cuz she is so very shy down deep (and a product of our prudish culture in the west using words like dirty, perverted, and disgusting right on cue... randomly, she seems to prefer smaller penises...

ok, so maybe a little too much cuteness and standard judgment (oh for the shock value of an original open mind, aye?), but a sexy little body for a mom of four (i know, i'm terrible by standard human judgments... what's that about shock value?)...

meanwhile, the website organizer uses the titillation to promote some very good environmental and animal rights causes, so it's not all meaningless pandering... she can be serious too... so hopefully she enjoys being added to my imaginary friends with whom i'd like to gather and converse and play and learn and share serious fin...

science channel depression

so the king crabs are invading the eastern north atlantic and crab lovers have mixed feeling about that because crab lovers who love crabs for their taste are thrilled because the price of king crabs ought to come down but crab lovers who love crabs because they love crabs as in nature lovers as in vegans and vegetarians are sad because they don't want to kill crabs or have crabs killed... being kind of in the middle, a former vegan who loves the taste of crabs, i hope the flood of crabs brings the price of crabs down in the western atlantic (fill the big boats and ship 'em over, aye mate?) and the sensitive environmentalist in me sees things from both sides (it is the science and eco-balance that brought me back to being an omnivore, the taste buds cheered but did not drive that bus) and realizes that over-population of any animal (four hundred thousand larvae in a single birth is a bit amazingly over-doing it), including humans, is destructive to all life on the planet... so fill the big boats is the ultimate balance from my perspective...

i mean, do you know about the lionfish? (hundreds of thousands of eggs each time, over 2 millions eggs a year from each female)... some dumb human with a home fish tank may have destroyed the eco-system of the south western atlantic... fish lovers, yeah... anyway, the show doesn't have it's own website yet, but it's a fairly raw balance of pro and con environmentalism as it focuses on how human intervention allows other predators to dominate huge areas of the world... ultimately, if you watch enough of the science channel, it is quite easy to become depressed... humans are so carelessly self-destructive almost all the time (and deliberately self destructive the rest of the time)...

sigh, it's enough to drive a rational being to depression...

wanna be greatness

i thought about putting it in the bored and the caring or who cares but those are too serious for it... then i thought about putting it in random pop news, but that is mostly video... and then i thought about putting it in for no apparent reason but i have more respect for that blog than to put it there... then i thought about putting it where it belongs, in the daily poop, but that too is not a place for such babbling as this... and it's not really a meaningless complaint cuz as meaningless as it may be, it's not really a complaint, at least not this time... it could be in nobody likes just the tip, but it's not irreverent enough... so it ended up in background tv, and here it is:

lol... a big win for the cavs a big win for the internet, so says espn... ultimately, it's a big win for cleveland, akron, ohio, and the midwest... when you consider the bigger picture, it's a pathetic drama that only a small fraction of the human race takes seriously, at least for the moment... he's grown, for sure... he's got great advisers and writers now, that's for sure... is he as really as big and important and and the man his ego wants him to be?... maybe... that depends on his ego... a few years ago his ego wanted him to be god, a mocking god at that... he settled for king, which is way short of true greatness because greatness does not ned to be crowned, it just is... will he rise to the level of greatness in his life, that will depend on whether he can let go of his ego-battle with michael and rise above the egocentric immaturity that has him whining and bitching to referees while playing a game and stepping into the world spotlight as a leader on issues that matter... mohammed ali, there is an athlete using his sports spotlight for greatness... martin luther king, there is greatness... ghandhi... and a million people nobody's ever heard of... it takes laying your freedom on the line, your life on the line, not just risking losing a game or winning a game to be great in this world... championships are great, but greatness?... greatness is a whole lot more...

so is the sacrifice of returning to his home town a step toward greatness, perhaps, if he becomes a leader in his home town, changing lives with humility and generosity and a passion for doing good for people, not for the spotlight... so far, he's 98% hype and 2% greatness... we shall see what he does away from the game over the next few years and beyond...

and yet, as tired as i am of the hype, i still write this because he still has the potential to turn his life around and realize that greatness is not whining or grandstanding or pouting or arrogantly mocking others, greatness is leading by giving...

i still switched channels because i'd rather watch anything other than the hype... family guy, even...

narf :)


there now, wasn't that worth the waddle through the introduction?... sarcastically speaking, i mean... hey, i could have linked every one of those blogs referred to in italics in the introduction (yes, there is a blog for every one of those titles, in fact, sometimes two or more), after all... or even before it all...

greatness, yes, background tv, that is what it's this is all about... driven to distraction and the vehicle is the tv, the tv on in the background, the background tv...

so what are you watching?...

extra crap

there are many shows that are representative of the shameless extravagance of the current american culture (human nature?), but extra may take the cake (and eat it too)... wait, another cake analogy may be just around the corner... yes, marie antoinette, the epitome of let them eat cake" is the obscene pleasure extra portrays in pretentious drama and gleeful bliss (ignorance) as that ridiculous enigma of fame and fortune summed up in the ultimate single word oxymoron (yes, it takes the mind of god to understand it all), celebrity, all dressed up and nowhere to go...

the height of eye candy and over-stating the obvious, the only thing missing is the hype that extra is must see tv, but wait, trademarks, copyrights, and all that jazz keeps is all tied up in court paying lawyers to continue giving us reasons to believe our lives are ever so important, i mean, we must be important, just look at all the money they are spending...

cynical much?... ah, it's beyond all that and commercials too, it's unreal passing as the reality that everybody is told they want so often that they believe it and must have it and long for it and sell their soul, if they could, just for a taste of the cake (what, you thought the cake was all gone?)...

hey, eye candy is fun, but waiting a half hour for craig ferguson to come on and get real (wink wink) can get annoying, ya know? (what's that, who's sleeping on the job?)... lol lam lal laa...

spoiled, to some extant

on the tv as david letterman yells at passers-by to pick up the trash (maybe he doesn't know it's called litter in nyc, silly mid-westerner... it's nyc, stuff on the street is litter, stuff in the cans is garbage, trash is anyone you don't respect, aye?) or maybe it was an advertisement for the the new york city hot dog cart vendor parked in front of his studios, but anyway, i just happened to scroll through the tv guide and found halle berry was going to be and halle berry just showed up to plug her new tv show extant which i want to watch and yet, i am hoping it is not a cross between contact and rosemary's baby (oh, the gravity of the situation, aye?)... halle is full of spoilers so i don't think i should listen any more cuz not i am getting a terminator and ai vibe... so how much god and how much aliens and how much mystery shall we find in this new show... obviously dave and halle don't care cuz they are talking up a storm about the plot... no reason to watch it now that they've told us to skip the first season and maybe there will be an answer in the last episode... still looking for intelligent life in the universe (on tv?)...

sad, no respect for the mystery... spielberg could not have coached her for this interview... still gonna watch though cuz, well, it's spielberg and there's always hope...

wormholes and what not

watching through the wormhole one could start romanticizing about pairs of gluons partnering up to keep the universe from falling apart like true love and hopefully there is enough of these perfect partners to compensate for all the solo quarks and gravity particles (what's all this about gluon-gluon bonding, anyway?) and entropic stuff happening everywhere so it all doesn't just get lost in strangeness and who knows what else... alas, anything's possible, after all... what-knot, aye?...
