The DAMNED Masquerade Ball

Sya — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 15:03:00 -0500

Michael and I attended the second night of DAMNED II, which was a formal attire masquerade ball held on on Devil's Night. This was the second year of the exhibit and I was proud to have some of my work selected and displayed. We took pictures but only a few came out, so until I find more posted by friends at the event, this is all I have to share. They are already planning next years event, so if you are a dark artist or have some controversial/macabre pieces to submit, mark your calendars and bookmark this page.

Yes, there's more --->

Two for Tuesday - Blue Moon of Kentucky

Sya — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 12:20:00 -0400

I heard Elvis Presley's rendition of this song at the bookstore the other day and it immediately took me back to a time when, as a child, my parents used to take me to Bluegrass festivals. Kentucky native, Bill Monroe is the legendary Father of Bluegrass. You won't hear anything like this nowadays! Even Sir Paul fails to bring out the song's true essence, though I have to admit, I do prefer it over the LeAnn Rimes or Patsy Cline varieties. SO without further ado...

The animated GIF is an artform.

Short on small talk this week, gotta get back to work. Just wanted to let my blog know I haven't forgotten all about it during my transition to a new state.

Poor neglected thing.

Five for Fri - The Best 'Shopped McCain Memes

Sya — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 09:40:00 -0400

So the story behind the funny face McCain made during the televised debate with Obama goes like this... McCain leaned in to shake hands with the moderator but couldn't reach across the table. So he started to follow Obama thinking that the moderator was heading that way, but when he went the other way instead, McCain made an exaggerated facial expression and the rest is Photoshop history!

These are my top five favorites:

And of course, I saved the best for last!

Enjoy your weekend, folks!

Why Mass Transit fails in the United States, Part 1

kylere — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 18:13:00 -0400

In an effort to be smart with money and also to be environmentally conscious (being a Unitarian Universalist is harder than being a xtian; I have to help take care of the earth rather than hoping for zombie jeebus to come back once we have despoiled it), I have been using mass transit to get back and forth to work since I moved to Cincinnati in March. The Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky(TANK) website makes very nice use of Google maps and technology to simply plan trips around the greater Cincinnati and northern Kentucky area. The buses are usually clean and in good repair and the drivers seem able to keep a schedule within reason.

BUT...

Two for Tuesday - Two TED Talks

Sya — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 11:26:00 -0400

I just love TED, don't you? Here are two more of my favorite.

"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free in a state of civilization, it expects what never was, and never will be." —Thomas Jefferson

I think that quote from Liz Coleman's TED talk ties into this next one by Dan Ariely quite nicely.

Liza Garza - HBO's Def Poetry Jam

Liza Garza is among the few people you'll meet in life who is beautiful both inside and out.

Gay Rights

Sya — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 11:56:00 -0400

Why should we be concerned with diversity among the Supreme Court? Why does it matter if Sotomayor will be the sixth Catholic on the nine-member court?

So you don't have to read the entire article, I'm pulling the following excerpt from Catholic Answers Special Report on Gay Marriage, but feel free to read the whole thing at your leisure. They believe that - "Legalization of same-sex marriage will not bring absolution nor deliver inner peace. Homosexuals will continue to suffer from the problems their "lifestyle" creates, even if every state legislature and both houses of Congress were to pass bills extolling homosexual behavior and privileging their relationships over those of heterosexuals. Active homosexuals will continue seeking something that they will never find through the things they do with strangers. They will still be tragically unhappy people. Such behavior will never offer the basis for marriage nor satisfy their relationship needs as persons. Homosexuals need compassion, but since they will not benefit by homosexual "marriage," there is no reason for society to redefine marriage to include same-sex couples. In fact, recognition of this intrinsically disordered behavior can have only bad effects on society."

And in case there were any doubt, here's another clarifying statement on how Catholics feel about Gay Marriage: "The institution of marriage is precious. It enhances the health, longevity, and well-being of married couples. It increases the health, vocational success, and emotional well-being of children. In providing all these benefits, heterosexual marriage contributes to the happiness and prosperity of society. Marriage must, therefore, remain limited to one man and one woman who strive to keep their marriage exclusive, unconditional, permanent, and life-giving. Nothing less will ever meet the needs of the human person, because nothing less satisfies."

And if that didn't clear it up for you, they close with: "Society has a lot to lose from legalizing homosexual marriage. And homosexuals have nothing to gain."

Why should American citizens be concerned? Because in accordance with the Constitution, the judicial power of the United States is vested in The Supreme Court and because as American citizens, our concerns run much deeper than Roe v. Wade.

This video actually sickens me. The way she says atheist like it's a dirty word made me pretend to squish her head between my finger and thumb. What's ironic is Fox's blatantly incorrect claim of unbiased reporting and the advertisement in the online video I had to sit through was for the Latter Day Saints.

"Things that make you go, hmmmm" for a thousand, Alex.

Five for Fri - Costumes

Sya — Fri, 29 May 2009 13:27:00 -0400

I'm in a hurry today so I'll make this blog post short, sweet, and to the point (despite the obvious fact that there is no point to some of these). We'll start with the best and make our way down to the worst costumes of all time.

In this costume, she won't need a multipass to get into any place her little heart desires...

I think I saw this guy at the Creationist Museum as part of the God-Hated-Dinos-Because-They-Kept-Eating-His-People-So-He-Drowned-Them-All-In-The-Flood exhibit.

Even Jewish peeps need a superhero (you know, since Jesus wasn't good enough for them)

Now we're getting to the most stupefying... what in tarnation?

Noooo, he be wearing my bucket!

That wraps things up for this week's Five for Fri... enjoy your weekend!

Microsoft makes me want to drive to Redmond and go postal

kylere — Thu, 28 May 2009 09:10:00 -0400

I have been feeling crappy lately, so last night I crashed early and woke up feeling semi human before it was too late to spend a few minutes at least watching TV with Stacy. Started up my PC ( long story as to why I have to watch TV on my PC at the moment) and defragged the C drive while I got some coffee, I updated my Video Drivers and noticed I had no sound. Speakers were on, looked for speaker on task bar, none there, went to Control Panel and it says, "No Audio Device" and it is greyed out.
