RIP Richard Wright

I’m sure if you happened on any of the correct news sites, or radio stations, you’ll already know about this, but….Pink Floyd keyboardist Richard Wright passed away last week.  Pink Floyd was a monumental band that has inspired countless others for generations.

To honour him I suggest cranking The Great Gig in the Sky followed by a brief moment of silence…and alot of acid.

30KFT

Assemblage 23 - 30KFT

An amazing a beautifuly tragic song. Runs along the lines of Roger Water’s When the Tigers Broke Free and Four Minutes, from The Wall and Radio KAOS respectively. Damn, if those two were able to collaborate, I’d swear they could create the greatest cross-genre operatic musical tragedy in existence.

Behind the more is an attempted SeeqPod embeded link to the song. Lemme know if it works.

Westboro Blasphemous Crazies

For those who don’t know, the Westboro Baptist Church is trying to protest at the funeral of Tim McLean, the unfortunate victim of the Greyhound slaying last week. These fucks think that somehow one mans insanity and random brutla murder is “God’s punishment” for Canadians being a “fag nation”…

I cannot beleive these assholes. They want to slap everyone in the face with their attention raising, oportunistic manipulation of McLean’s death and turn it into a farce just so they can get some attention. I know that PETA just did this, but the WBO morons have taken the cake.

But here’s the fun points.

First, Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. (Exodus 20:7). I guess these religious fuck nuts can’t read very well. While I know the bible does make some mention of God striking down homosexuals in the Book of Job, I’m pretty sure God wasn’t just “hating” the “fags”. Also, God punished the whole town, not just one or two random people. So as far as God punishing homosexual “enablers”, I’m pretty sure by their own Bible’s standards that all of Canada would be burned down by God if He was that inclined to punish us. (Enablers? Since when was Homosexuality a drug? That’s like saying child counselors are Autism enablers.)

Second, besides shameless and unflattering publicity, why are they botehring? Sure, bad publicity gets the best coverage, as well all know, but it’s not going to get anything for their cause. Our Bible belt is in Alberta, Manitoba is a little to the right asshats. Get a map, a real map that shows all of Canada. Ignorant hicks.

On the plus side, I am surprised, but pleasantly pleased that the Canadian government is actually trying to stop these religious fucknuts. Amazing considdering they won’t help Omar Khadr, and left Brenda Martin to rot in Mexico, I’m surprised they would let themselves stand up to Christian American whackjobs.

Too bad the WBC is just a small group of inbred hicks, but hey, good to know Stockwell Day has some balls after all…even if they are there just for show.

Fabulous

Despite having probably the worst name ever, Fab 5 Soccer got released a couple of months ago. This is my 3rd DS game and is one of the better ones.

Go Lionel!

Despite the ass-tacular reviews from IGN readers, it actually is a pretty fun game. It’s aimed for simple, arcade pick-up-and-play games, not overcomplicated realistic soccer matches.  And why my opinion is highly baised, it’s still worth looking at for anyone who likes arcade style games and sports games.

I got a little behind with this announcement, but another, even better project of mine is slated for realease in a couple of months!  I’ll have more details closer to the release date.

Christians are fun

I live with an Anglican who often says “Love the sinner, hate the sin”.  Of course, I always reply to that with “Hail satan!”

Random Quote #1

If we put half as much energy into fixing social problems like homelessness and the environment as we do going to war over the high price of a toy we may actually progress as a society.

KamFest

The first annual KamFest: Rally for the Cure was this past weekend, and despite the inexorably small turnout, it was a success.  The idea was to get as many cars and motorcycles as possible, drive to the Wispering Springs / Clinton Indian Band (WSCIB) reserve and have a camp out with live bands and other things.  Unfortunately, only a half-dozen bikes and a couple of cars showed up, but it still went ahead.

I was involved in this because the organizer is one of my in laws, and considering he did the entire thing in eight weeks, it was quite the feat.  A lot was done, a lot of effort was put into it and something came out of it: knowledge.  Lots of knowledge on what to do next year to get closer to the advertised 1000 cars and bikes that were desired for the rally.

The main success was that while most of the attendees were all family and friends, it was still a good weekend, a good drive and a great party that night.  The three bands, Bombshella, Interceptors and Rhythm Street kicked ass, the grounds were great and the valley it was localed in is beautiful.  I wish I had brought a camera to take some pictures.  The biggest bonus was that the bands, the grounds and the visitors all showed up and gave their time and efforts in support of cancer research.  The registration fee went entirely to the cancer foundations, the grounds and music was donated, and it all came together well.  Plus, there’s nothing like following my quasi-biker in laws up the Coaquihalla in our family sedan.  Got some strange looks when yelling at them at the occasional stoplight too.

Next year we are all hoping for bigger, better and badder.  I will probably post a lot more about it to raise more awareness, and hopefully help drive for a bigger turnout.  Plus, it’s all for cancer research, so I’m glad to donate my time.

Earth Hour

Earth Hour - yes, we did it.  We sat in the dark for an hour, and we did it.  But why would I buy into tat long-haired “save the earth” hippie crap?  Because, in the last week, we have gotten hail and snow after the first day of spring!  Here, it rarely snows or hails, but to do so 3 times in one week is uncanny.  Especially since I went out today to walk the dog, and 20 minutes after we got home, it hailed buckets.  I could have been in that…
