Michael J Fox...

October 31st 2006 11:14
Wins the award for outstanding achievment in the field of excellence for his help in the campaign of Democrat candidate Ben Cardin.

If you haven't seen the add, go here

The add, in summary, is Michael J Fox , who has long struggled with Parkinson's disease throwing his support behind the use of stem cells.

Now, in the interests of at least appearing unbiased I'll present some of the arguments used against the use of stem cells.


"To me, this is a shame that they're exploiting someone like Michael J. Fox for something that the scientists say is not going to do anything," - Douglas Stiegler, executive director of Maryland's Family Protection Lobby.

exploiting?? he volunteered for it to help people in his situation
and every scientist agrees that it will have a great effect in combating a wide varity of diseases. It is the scienticians from the ultra consevative "will somebody please think of the children" organisations that think it won't do anything.

Some also believe that the use of stem cells is murder, as they have "the potential to create life" guys, you have something along the lines of a billion sperm inside you right now, gals, you have a mere thousand or so eggs. So that means that females only ever have to have 1000 children in order to not be a murderer, guys, you must have children beyond counting (don't even bother trying to name them all)

Peace

Arias, Rove and Children of Men

That's right, today you get a review of some trashy tv. Cos I'm too lazy to do the follow up to the last post.

Anyway, the Australian recording industry awards, ARIAs were given out recently. Now, being in the room when they were on, I suffered seeing Wolfmother being congratulated for their butchery of the english language

What is Wrong with the US Army?

October 26th 2006 23:55
and I'm not talking about morally, that would take more then a single blog entry to cover.

But no, it seems that, despite having the worlds largest defence budget (see below), the US is incredible incapable of actually winning wars. Or perhaps I should reconsider that. They won against the British, in the war of independence, they beat, themselves in the Civil War, and were a major contributor to success in the Second World War.

Short, Fast, Loud

October 25th 2006 01:43
Hey everyone.

The lack of posts has been due to a combination of being busy, my internet being broken and a tomahawk to the head. Anyhoo, listening to Triple J about a minute ago, I heard about an awesome edition of their show, Short Fast Loud that will be on from 10 O clock tonight (Wednesday the 25th)

HSC no 2

October 20th 2006 12:23
Please excuse my grammar, I used all my good typieness on my exam today.

Anyhoo, not much to report. I got a copy of 'The Cure' Greatest Hits dvd, basically all their filmclips, man, Robert Smith is really creepy. But cool nevertheless. Even if you can't get your hands on the dvd, find some way to see the filmclip to Spiderman, it's well worth it.

Incubus

October 17th 2006 00:51
So my internet is broken, infact I think a viking must've come in and started hacking the modem to pieces. I'm at the house of my brother and his girlfriend, listening to Incubus - no idea which album, but it's the one where 'they sound sorta like the chili peppers'

The album is really good, although, that said, I saw a bit of their 'Live at Red Rocks' dvd concert and that was much more impressive then the album. But then again, if a bands studio work is better then their live performances.

Listen mister, brother, sister, family and friend,

Listen stranger, passer by and those I never knew,

Rodrigo y Gabriella

So the duo were born in Mexico, but have since moved to Ireland.

They were originally part of the heavy metal band, "Tierra Acida" and I'm deffinately trying to get a hold of the bands music - I would love to see how the combination of spanish gutar and metal works. Since then, they have created their own style, similar to Traditional Spanish guitar, but faster and with drumming on their guitars whilst strumming and picking.

Filler

Yeah, not much of a post today. I'm too busy 'sudying' for my final exams. And by that I mean I was at a friend's house.

So what's new today?? I saw the movie Kenny. Now, I'd ever heard of it until today, and it's probably unheard of outside of Australia. Anyhoo, to say it's a mockumentary around a portaloo company, it's actually alright

I don't know how many of you are living under a rock, but North Korea has fullfilled their promise to test a nuklear weapon.

Is anyone else terrified??

P J Harvey

October 6th 2006 06:03
Polly Jean Harvey, accompanied at one stage by drummer Rob Ellis and bassist Steve Vaughan has been my newest musical 'discovery.' I wouldn't call her punk exactly, because whilst many of her songs have punk sounding influences, her influences are more encompassing, including blues, jazz and art-rock and bands such as jimi Hendrix, U2, The Pixies and Ennio Morriconi (He contributed numerous songs to the Kill Bill vol 1 and 2 soundtracks)

Kraftwerk - Hall of Mirrors

The young man stepped into the hall of mirrors
Where he discovered a reflection of himself
Even the greatest stars discover themselves in the looking glass

Pure Massacre

October 2nd 2006 06:16
Today's post title was fairly aptly chosen (If I do say so myself)

Not only is it the Silverchair song that I'm listening to, but it's also a fair description of the martial arts camp I've been at since Friday evening.
