Many people think lightly, even jokingly about those who always have government "conspiracy" theories to everything. But this is a true story that will really open your eyes. It's a long documentary, but take the time to watch it.. it will definitely hold your attention and leave you amazed at how powerless you are in this "free" country. We need a change. Power needs to be shifted away from these politicians.
Do you remember when you would sneak out with your friends back in the day... every town it seems had it's rumors or places with a strange story that made every kid curious- a haunted house. An abandoned mine. Or how about a military base? Where small personal planes fly low at night.. with their headlights OFF. And can be seen dropping packages. ...Wouldn't you be curious?
So were Kevin Ives & Don Henry. Like any curious teens would, they decide to spend the night together and sneak out, to go check it out... maybe get a glimpse of what these planes are dropping secretively over the military base. The next morning their severed bodies are found on the train tracks outside of the military base at Mena, Arkansas on August 23rd, 1987 (two days before my 3rd birthday). At first it sounds like a horrible accident... but it was no accident. And it is MUCH more horrible than it sounds.
The State medical examiner, Fahmy Malak, rules the boys deaths an accident... sounds pretty reasonable, right? Except for the fact that 3 members of the train's operating crew told the cops they observed the boys laid out on the tracks from a distance, not moving. ...With a TARP partially covering them.
So maybe the medical examiner just made an honest mistake? ...Of course. And he must have also "forgotten" to mention that one of the boy's had a stab wound in the back. And the other's head was cracked open from the blow of what appeared to have been a rifle butt. So maybe it wasn't an honest mistake. But why would the STATE MEDICAL EXAMINER lie about 2 teenage boys??? Now the story gets kind of weird. This guy on his own is quite a freak, later it surfaces that he's covered up many homicides as "accidental" deaths that would have attracted attention to certain political figures. At least 20 other of his rulings were reversed to homicides after an investigation. But he has friends in high places... and they keep him there to cover up the murders from the dark side of politics. You'll never guess who the main man keeping him in power is... but he was our president a while back. I'll give you a hint... "You're welCOME, Monica" ; )
When the cops showed up, the Police Chief told everyone to treat the crime scene as a typical accidental death- Which means evidence will not be collected & tracked, and there will be no investigation, basically just a "clean up" of the mess left over. ...What!? Their mother can't believe that after her sons are murdered outside a military base in their hometown, the cops close the case with no questions asked as an "accidental" death. In the video, the police chief is quoted talking about how thoroughly they searched the scene and "couldn't find" anything to suggest this was a murder... the mother tears up as she mocks his reply, stating that they did such a "thorough" job that they left one of the boy's feet at the tracks for 2 whole days, which had been severed off from the train and is shown in a picture from the scene.
So wait, the police are in on this, too? Why would the police walk away quietly from a scene where obvious foul play led to the death of 2 young men? You need to watch these videos and find out... In this story, there really is corruption at every.. coroner (couldn't resist). And those people who really try to investigate the incident are defamed, thrown in prison, and run out of town. The mother of the boys finally thinks she gets help from 2 prosecutors.. who ended up being in on the scandal the whole time. Poor lady must HATE the government by now.
Oh, and just to spice it up even more... When an investigation FINALLY begins, witnesses and friends start dropping like flies.
-One of the boy's friends, Keith Coney, tells his mother that he knows too much.. he claims he went to meet up with the other 2 that night. He dies almost as soon as the investigation begins, in a motorcycle accident. While being chased at high speeds by a car. It appears his neck was partially slit before his accident. No investigation was conducted and his death was ruled a traffic accident.
-Keith McKaskle had information on the boy's deaths. He tells his family that someone is out to kill him, and gives them a final "goodbye" before being stabbed to death.
-Gregory Collins had information on the Ives/Henry deaths. He died from a gunshot blast to the face in January 1989. Declared a suicide.
-Jeff Rhodes had information on not only the boys death's, but also on Keith McKaskle's. His burned body was found in a trash dump the next Spring. He died of a gunshot wound to the head and there was some body mutilation, specifically that his hands and feet had been partially sawn off, leading to the speculation that he was tortured prior to being killed. The body was then burned.
-James Milan had information on the Ives & Henry deaths. He was decapitated. Remember that no good state Medical examiner, Fahmy Malak? He initially ruled James' death "due to natural causes". Of course. Because after a certain age, your head just falls clean off.
-Richard Winters became a suspect in the deaths of Ives & Henry, but had offered to cooperate. Too bad he was killed by a shotgun blast to the face during a "robbery" in July 1989. Oh yeah, the robbery was later found to be a setup simply to make the murder look unrelated.
Here's the video. After part 1 is over you should find the next parts in the videos that come up as related, etc etc. There are a total of 6.

Writing: One-Sentence Short Storys
I came across a website a while back that intrigued me, it was an online competition for writers to submit their short stories with the chance at winning a cash prize. But these weren't regular short stories- each "short" story could only be one sentence in length.
It sounds kind of stupid, and it can be if you don't really think about it. But one sentence can truly be PACKED with meaning, and I think that was the point of this competition and others like it, to show how powerful just one simple sentence can be.
At any rate I was trying to look up others, there is one website but it's about "true one sentence stories" and while some of them are amusing, they are totally missing the point about being -powerful- or -moving- sentences.
Of course, I'm no writer, so perhaps I shouldn't be one to critisize, but at any rate I'd like to share extremely short stories, preferably one sentence but they can be more as long as it's no more than 15-20 characters, MAX. They can be fiction or non-fiction, but something that is just powerful or moving and that you can sit around and actually think about... a sentence(s) that invokes a story in your mind all on it's own. So if you have any to share, please leave your name and your shor story, and others leave comments if you like them! Here is mine:
FORCED to walk the plank, I CHOSE to dive gracefully.
Now let's hear yours!

First time in a Desi Shop- Buying Pan Parag
The Paki guy at the gas station down the street is always really cool, I usually stop by there for 40's or something but I decided I wanted to try out some Betel nut mix... I walked in his store and greeted him with "asalamalakum" which he replied to, then I asked him if he sold any Pan. He seemed confused at first, he probably didn't understand me, so then I mentioned about betel nut mix and he lit up, he's like "AH You're into that kind of thing??" I'm sure white people don't ask for that much haha. He informed me he didn't sell it but he pulled out a little tin and poured some into my hand, he also pointed me to a desi store down the street which sold it, which is where he buys his.
I went there the next day and got this-
Woo so now I finally get to try it! We'll see how it works out, I tried a little bit but I'm unsure on the dosage, it def gave me a little energy boost with the little bit I did. Tasted a lot better when I was drunk though, haha.

Friendship- Moving on to better friends
Friendship is one of the most familiar & common of interpersonal bonds. Some people (I used to be a part of this group) feel that the ties of friendship are stronger than those of your own blood.
But what makes people who were at one point inseparable split apart?
There's a lot of reasons friendships can nullify over periods of time. It could be due to something such as distance, such as when young friends are separated by their families relocating.
Or perhaps you start to realize that a person's friendship is bringing you down or preventing you from being the person you want to be. For example, one of my old best friends who was also my first real roommate was Luke S. We became very close friends, and I still consider him a brother to this day even though we don't talk very often. When we lived together we were (being in our late teens/early 20s) in our wilder stage, and we would drink a lot and do things we shouldn't have been doing. Luke got married and had a kid and thus he realized he needed to snap out of that stage and started trying to focus on other things. But when we hung out, he had the urge to drink (more than usual) and do other things that weren't, in his opinion, morally acceptable. Eventually he decided to cut his association with me and although he never told me why, I eventually pieced together that the reason was because he felt like my friendship was having a negative impact on him. Not that this was my fault, because it wasn't- but it doesn't matter who's fault it was. The fact remains that when he was around me, he had urges to do things he didn't feel were right- Party, do drugs we used to do when we were younger, go looking for other girls etc.
Or it could be the opposite, instead of someone feeling like a friendship is having a negative effect on them, they might just find people who they enjoy to associate with more, and then invest time in those relationships instead of the current friendship. Maybe they don't want to invite you (the old friend) because they feel you would take attention off of them in their new group, maybe they fear their new friends would like you better. Or maybe they think your new friends would think you were nerdy, or bad association, or something else that would embarrass them so they never bring you around. This is the more selfish way a friendship dies, but the fact is we've all had people that we hung out with (usually when we were young) that we really only hung out with because A) we had nothing better to do sometimes and/or B) they were close/convenient association. Sometimes though your interests just plain change, and you find new friends who share your new interests or hobbies. There is nothing wrong with that, but personally I have always felt unless there is a real reason for not talking to an old friend (such as them bringing you into situations that are trouble) you should try to stay in touch with your old friends and at least see how they are doing. That can be hard because you may know that if you make contact with a person they will try to scold you for not hanging out with them, and hanging out with your new found friends more etc. Or maybe they will invite you to hang out and you know you really won't want to hang out, but you still just want to keep in touch. I still think it's best to try to keep in touch somehow, maybe email or myspace/facebook... shoot a message every month or so and ask how the person is doing.
Because when you move on to "better" friends, just like any other type of relationship, those friends may move on to someone "better" than you.

Mike's party turned crazy- aka helping a criminal with "his" cars
So it was my old friend Mike Townson's bday, actually today is officially it- but last night he had some people together at Rhett's place out in Anna (a good party spot because it's out in the boonie's).
The party itself was great, it was a perfect night- we had a sweet bonfire going. Had fun at the zipline from the huge tree that brought back memories of parties back in the day... some guy made "Beer hot air balloons" and attempted to launch them. Unsuccessfully. They burst into flames and that was about it.
But, as usual, I somehow get involved in fucked up shit unknowingly.. and now I remember why I've been staying home so much...
Ok first, the party was a real blast. There was a good turn out and everyone had a good time. But then around 4am most everyone had left except a few people passed out inside and me, Roman, Rhett and a friend of Rhett's were the only one's left outside drinking and chatting it up. I see 2 vehicles a ways down the road and it looked like one was broke down and the other was trying to help him, so being the drunkenly good samaritan that I am I start walking over to help them out... well Rhett is like dude where are you going stay here, but Roman followed me to help out.. I approach this white guy in a leather jacket and I'm like what's up you need some help?
The Guy: My brother got his car stuck in this ditch man we can't get it out!
*I notice the back tire of this van is stuck in the mud in a ditch off the side of the road*
At this point he starts telling me his little brother had been drinking and had ran off, and he promised his brother he would stay behind and take care of it. I was drunk and didn't pay much attention to the story, I was in the mud trying to hook a wheel strap on the under frame of this van.. then he tells me to get in his truck while he is in the van and try to push it out while he's gassing it.
We tried this for a few minutes, and then realized we were just digging the back tire into the mud even more. The man was REALLY anxious to get out of there and he said he would give us a QP of weed if we got him out. I got out and was like man this isn't working but you need to get this thing out soon before the cops roll by... I was like man I've got some legal shit going on I'm not trying to get stopped by the police tonight.
At this point he lifts his shirt up showing off a .45 revolver and is like "Yeah.. neither am I. Let's hurry up." I start to realize this is a strange situation I've gotten myself into, and I look in the van that is stuck in the mud and notice that it's full of big screen TV's (like 4 huge ones in the back) and a bunch of brand new stereo's and electronics all in boxes, piled up in the car, even the passanger seat was stacked FULL of boxes.
I then notice this guy has white latex gloves on. It hits me that my finger prints are now on both cars, and at least one of these cars is stolen because the guy is not concerned at all about the condition of these cars, he is telling me to ram one into the other to get it out of the ditch.
I look at Roman and I'm like ok man we need to get out of here, then I turn to the dude and I'm like hey look we've been trying to help you for 30 min this isn't working out.. but we have to JET. Now. He's like fuck ok whatever. I told him he needed to hurry up and get out of there and he just growled I KNOW..
We go back to the front of the house and keep drinking and hanging out talking about how weird this is, and then eventually Rhett and his friend drive out there and ram the guy out of the ditch, but one of his tires was already stripped at this point. Rhett gets back and is like man I think I'm going to call the cops I don't want this guy in my neighborhood- which is understandable. I'm like alright man do what you want, this guy isn't getting out of that hole. Rhett is like actually I just helped him out of it in like 5 min. We had tried for about 30 with negative success.. he must have just rammed that car good, haha.
So the first time Rhett and his friend drove by they saw the guy had a handgun on him, they went back to the house and got an AK-47 and AR-15 and brought them back when they went to help the guy.
After Rhett calls the cops we decide we should go see if the car full of loot is still there, maybe we can score off it- haha. We are driving and suddenly a cop car pulls out of nowhere and quickly blockades the road so we can't get past. He questions us about everything and we tell him what happened.
Anyway, later on the cops apparently called Rhett back and said thanks to our direction they found this guy, both cars were stolen and he had managed to drive the van with a totally blown out tire (the whole tire stripped off and was on the side of the road) and then wreck it and flip it over.
Crazy night.. I'm glad I made it home safe, thank Jehovah that there wasn't any trouble! I was just trying to help the guy.

Actually I'm pretty sure if you start at 3000 and go up (3001, 3002, etc) they are created in order. Some will probably not work if they are no longer active, but that would be an easy way to add, maybe more efficient than starting at the lower numbers since higher numbers are more recent, meaning more likely to be checked quicker. ; )

Actually I'm pretty sure if you start at 3000 and go up (3001, 3002, etc) they are created in order. Some will probably not work if they are no longer active, but that would be an easy way to add, maybe more efficient than starting at the lower numbers since higher numbers are more recent, meaning more likely to be checked quicker. ; )

10 Tight Underground Hip Hop songs you haven't heard (Part 1)
Anyone who knows me know my affinity to Hip hop... I love sharing music with other people, and finding new, good music. Not just hip hop, but that's what I love most. So check out some of these songs and see what you think, and post if you have others that you think I haven't heard but need to hear! Try to post as little radio hip hop as possible... Preferably none unless it's BRAND NEW and you don't think we've heard it, but need to.
These are all kinds of various sub-genres, I just grouped it into "hip hop" so let's not argue about what the fuck is and isn't hip hop. Or underground. That varies place to place. Either way these are good artists so just listen to them if you like DIFFERENT hip hop. Not the same old radio bullshit all the time.
10) Butta featuring Money Attitude-What It D
9) Blu & Exile- The World Is (Below the Heavens..)
8) Black Ice- Shine
7) 9th Wonder & Buckshot- No Future
6) The Foreign Exchange- I wanna Know
5) Slum Village- Climax
4) Hezekiah- What You Gonna Do Ft. Society Park
3) Buff1- Pretty Baby
2) Drake- Closer
1) Cassidy, Saigon & Termanology- To The Top (with Statik Selektah)
If you have any songs that you want to share, hip hop or R&B or any info related to any of the above songs/artists, let me know!

Top 3 Reasons Looking for a New Job Sucks
We all know that looking for a new job can be frustrating, especially in an economy like ours currently... and it can be very taxing on you emotionally. It is of course, not the lack of a job usually that makes us so anxious.. but obviously, the lack of CASH MONEY.
Stressing about finances can be enough to make you even physically ill when all the bills come due... but here are some of the 3 things that piss me off the most about the job hunting process
Reason # 1:
The Application Process
Now maybe it's just me... but when I'm looking for a job, it usually only takes me a few minutes to realize that... shit, man. There's GOT to be a better way.
Why is it, in 2009... that there is still no GENERALIZED APPLICATION FORM for job applicants? I know, I know some of you will say "that's called a resume dipshit" but, no. That's not what I'm talking about. Most places still require an application to be filled out even if you get hired off of just a resume.
But WHY must I fill out a different application for each job, when they ALL have the SAME information???? Can't I just make a DAMNED COPY of one?!?! This alone is enough to drive you crazy, especially after your hand goes numb from filling out applications that are all the same, aside from the different formatting.
Reason # 2:
Psychological "Aptitude" Tests
This is my personal favorite. As in, least favorite. I know that it makes sense to run applicants through the bigger mesh before going through the fine strainer, but.. does that honestly take 100 questions!?!? Not to mention they are all actually a combination of the same 10 questions, phrased slightly differently.
Wouldn't 20 questions cut it???
Or even 1... because most of them basically boil down to one question:
"Would you ever do anything that you know would be frowned upon by management, even if you knew you wouldn't get caught?"
Hm. A better question would be "Even if I would... would I TELL you? On the application? While I'm trying to get the job?"
Which one is stupider here, the employer or the applicant? Honestly.
They all basically look something like this:
1) You have a manager that forces you to work 12 hour shifts every day of the week, and never pays you over time, which by the way is what we're going to do to you... Would you sue us.. er I mean him?
2) ...If you met said manager in a dark alley, and noticed a large, perfectly aerodynamic throwing stone conveniently located next to your feet. ...would you hit him with it?
3) Would you ever rob us?
4) ... are you sure? Swear it?
One of the worst things is they actually ask fucked up questions to trick you, but they are so ethically wrong.. they are not only filtering out psycho's.. but anyone with a good heart.
5) You're working at a convenience store and you see a coworker steal a loaf of bread. You know he is doing bad financially, and actually lives in a cardboard box with his 5 kids and wife because we pay him dirt. You also know we make more than enough profit every year for him to take 800 million loaves of bread, and not even notice. He hasn't eaten in over a week. ......He will probably die if he doesn't eat this bread.Right now.
Also, he has cancer. And one wooden leg.
....would you tell on him?
FUCK NO MAN, are you serious? I'd be like fuck this shit man take 2. And have this bag of chips. Make a chip sandwich. It's the least they can do.
Reason # 3:
Interviews and the good ole "Gang bang" style Group Interview
I know, this one is obvious. Most everyone hates interviews and it has been beaten to death. Hell, I'm pretty good at interviews... I still hate them. But it had to make the list.
Group interviews are always the worst, especially when they don't tell you it will be a group interview. One of my last interviews they brought me in a room with 5 people, not including myself. All managers, only like 2 of which had anything to do with my job function. I had never met any of these people previously at all, because I got the job through a temp agency.
Now it's a good idea to see how people will perform in unexpected circumstances, so I can understand the thought process. But it still sucks. One by one they pass you around the room like a piece of ass at the playboy mansion, and take turns asking you ridiculous shit.. the typical questions no one likes to be asked, but they ask at every interview.
"Give us an example of a time when you've worked so hard for a previous employer that you had to be hospitalized"
And then they all stare at you analyzing you for bullshit.
The most helpful ability for interviewing is the ability to bullshit. But always interweave it with things that are factual. Embellishing or even editing out certain parts of actual stories is a good aspect of this.
For example. Tell them about the time you saved your old managers life by performing CPR. ...Just leave out the fact that YOU were the one who knocked his ass out.
Of course when you're using the embellishing technique, don't go overboard. This is easy to do when you've got a group of people staring at you confused at the end of what you thought was a great example of customer service. Obviously they are waiting for something more impressive. Fight the urge to throw in that one extra line of Bullshit to get them to stop looking at you like an idiot.
It won't work!
"...and that is how I kept our customer happy and coming back to our store!"
*awkward silence, a couple slightly gaping mouths and furrowed brows*
"...... I also donated one of my kidneys to her son"
The job search can be a long drawn out process... and I was going to end this on a positive note. But in all honestly, looking for a job sucks. And it sucks hard. ..the only thing worse is actually having a job. ; )
Good luck in your job search, and the same goes for me hopefully....

The 6 Phases of High School "Punishment"
I guess everyone had it different in HS, some of us hated it. Some of us loved it. But what I learned most from High School.. wasn't in any of the books. It was more important and practical than anything the faculty had planned on the curriculum.
Life lessons- most important probably is how to interact with other people. You learn that there are always rules, and there are people who enforce those rules. You also learn that some of those people are sincerely trying to help, while others are just dysfunctional assholes taking out their frustrations in life by trying to hold you down.
But either way, you learned how to interact with these people... and if you were like me, you learned how to test them and push each of their limits to see how far you can get. But, anyway- one of the reasons I enjoyed HS so much was that, being a minor, they could only do so much to "punish" you...
The 6 Phases of High School "Punishment"
Ok this I never understood, but definitely took advantage of. For example, let's say you were in your friends classes clowning around more than you were actually in your own (like me). Eventually the teachers decided even though you had some entertainment value, they couldn't let your disregard for school policies go unchecked.. so what do they do?
Enter the stages of punishment in HS:
-Stage 1: Office Referral
AKA - get out of class free card. Sweet! I'd go and have some good conversations with my principals, I'd even skip class on my own and go there some days... not very effective.
-Stage 2: Detention
This one kind of sucked, depending if anyone else fun was in detention that day or not. Only because you had to stay after school, but really it was like 1 big class.. with all your friends.
-Stage 3: Wednesday or Saturday school
(..unless you're me, then you had both. I had so many of these suckers earned up one year they tried to make me come all through SUMMER.. hah! I was like ummm no I don't think I'll be attending sorry)
These were just basically really long detentions. Like 2 or 4 hours I can't remember.
-Stage 4: ISS (In School Suspension)
ahhhhh good ole' ISS. The coaches and substitutes took turns running this one, most of which I got along with. There were only 2 computers, coach liked me so he'd actually kick other kids off to let me get on and play Tribes... haha! Amazingly, they also let you out a little early (I think the point was so you wouldn't have any contact with the other kids, but you could just hang out and wait for school to be over if you wanted to... so really it was just an extra bonus!)
So, this one is like a free day, also with all your friends.
See, it only gets better! Now sometimes if you had a good group of friends in ISS, you'd have so much fun it was actually better than school. In which case we worked up a good plan.. see if you are LATE to ISS, they give you an extra day. Most kids seemed to think this was a horrible thing. We thought it was AWESOME. Why?
Because this means that we could sleep in, then come to ISS. Leave early, and do it all over again. As long as we wanted. But if you were in ISS for more than a week or 2 in a row, they'd up the anti... with OSS.
Stage 5: OSS (Out of School Suspension)
Ok. This never made sense to me either. If sleeping in, hanging with your friends, then getting off early wasn't enough for you.. they'd give you a few days off. If you had too much ISS they would put you in OSS, or alternatively you could skip straight to OSS by fighting or doing something pretty bad, but not bad enough to warrant alternative school.
OSS was basically a free pass to miss school and not have it count against you, for a few days usually.
Not comfortable enough for you? Well, have no fear- there is 1 last level of "punishment".
Stage 6: The final stage in the saga of HS "punishment"... Alternative School
I spent my last entire year of HS minus a few weeks in A.S. and actually graduated from there. You'd get this by doing something bad enough to get you thrown off of campus. In my case, the first time, that was showing up drunk to 1st period class still drinking vodka out of my water bottle and acting like a fool before finally being arrested and escorted out of class in handcuffs... after the cop got me off from standing on the table and taking a bow while the class cheered me on.
Now AS is your very own SCHOOL. Where you get to sleep in late about an hour, and also get out like 1.5 hours early. And usually your friends are there. This one could get old quickly though if you didn't have enough friends with you though, or if you weren't hopped up on Adderall like I was at the time.
Aghhh... if only the rest of life was like High School....

Funny Picture of the Day: Kangaroo kicking a kid in a pond
Is it just me, or does that look very premeditated by the kangaroo?? Devious bastard, takes his time and bounces into alignment then gets some height before giving him a swift kick. haha. Poor kid did NOT see that coming. He was probably just thinking about how AWESOME kangaroos are...
and this just proves him right.

How to find a friend on Myspace
Have you ever met someone at a party and got their number but lost it? Or let's say you have contacts in your Yahoo mail account or Gmail, or maybe AOL or AIM that you would like to find on Myspace so you can keep in better touch and share pictures easier. There are a few reasons you'd want to look for people on Myspace, and here is a simple guide on how to find them easily:
Directions for finding a friend on Myspace:
1)Log into your Myspace account at www.myspace.com.
2)Hover your mouse over the “Friends” Category on the Navigation bar at the top of the screen until a drop down menu is shown, then click on “Find Friends” as shown below.
3)At the top area you will have an option to put in your friends Name, email, or Display Name. By default this drop down menu is set to “all fields” so whatever you type will be searched for in all fields, but if you are looking for a specific name or email address then be sure to change it to that in the drop down menu so it will narrow down the search results!
Also, you will notice on the Right hand side the “Find People you Email” Link. This helps you find people in your contacts on AOL instant messanger (also known as AIM), Gmail, AOL, Yahoo mail, or Windows Messenger. This is very helpful as well!
4)Now you can refine your search, say you are searching for someone you met at a party named Kim. You don’t know Kim’s last name, you just know she’s in your area and she’s 20 years old. Search for “Name” Kim and on the right side in the below diagram under “Filter Results” select Female, Age 20 (both boxes) and then enter your zip code. Now set the distance, start small and increase if you can’t find the person at first to make it easier.
And it’s that easy! : )
