I’m sorry dear readers, my life is falling apart. But nothing pleases me more than entertaining (or boring) you, so let me just throw out some crap I’ve come across whilst we’ve spent some time apart:

Updated Crop Circles?
cropcircleconnector.com

It has never happened before in the history of crop circles, but we now have two crop circles that have been subsequently touched up. Frankly, the current crop of crop circles is the strangest and most detailed I’ve seen and they just keep coming. Please note the absolute enormous size of these things:

Remember how I made the graphics for the positioning of this next one? They updated it. And now it looks like Mercury and Venus are inside the sun and Earth is the next closest planet out from the sun.

Yikes!

p.s. We haven’t seen this many circles in a crop circle since 2001:

Oxfordshire – 7/27/08

Will the Real Stan Romanek Video please stand up, and duck down, and stand up, and duck down?

If you don’t know the story; dude (Romanek) sets up camera to catch peeping tom spying on teenage daughter, catches alien instead. Another dude (Peckman) who wants to promote new documentary and legislation for some sort of scientific body that studies UFO reports exploits previous dude’s footage. Media fiasco ensues. Footage shown to journalists, but withheld from the public (to save for the documentary) so media shows fakes instead because they are professional buffoons that always promote anything but the actual truth.

It was almost like a coordinated attack on the Stan Romanek video. So many bad CGI fakes just appeared out of nowhere and Joe Public would see one of those, think, “that looks fake!” and move on – never knowing that he just saw one of the purposeful detractors.

Anyway, this new one has hit the YouTube and it seems to be the real video that Stan was promoting — it has the features that many said would make it hard to fake: the alien is behind the reflection (in CGI, this is terribly hard to do after the fact) and if it is a puppet then the ocular and facial movements would be difficult as well.

(I was just thinking, you could CGI a reflection on top of an animation to add legitimacy if there wasn’t a reflection there to begin with. That is one way to do it. Anyway, these guys have the original tape and we are not seeing the full quality on youtube, obviously. They were brave enough to show it to the media so it must be somewhat more impressive in full quality.)

Note that the person who posted it to youtube doesn’t use the terms/tags: Stan Romanek or Jeff Peckman. Could be laziness or it could be that he wants it to stay up as long as possible before getting copyright slapped.

Update: Video No Longer Available
Below is a post from the guy that uploaded the video:

“I’ve just been informed this is the real video and have complied with the request to remove it.

Here is the email:

On May 30, 2008, a press conference was held in Denver, CO to discuss the Denver ET Ballot Initiative. Included in the press conference was footage of an ET looking in the window of Stan Romanek’s home in Nebraska. During the press conference the DVD was stolen. It has come to our attention that YOU have obtained a copy or the original footage from this DVD, and have posted it on YouTube. Law enforcement authorities have been notified, and a criminal investigation will ensue. The footage that has been illegally shown on YouTube is copy written, and no permission was given to broadcast this to the public in any shape or form. Let this be a formal notice to remove the footage, IMMEDIATELY, from any and all media, public, or otherwise that you or anyone that you know has posted anywhere. If you do not comply, immediately, further legal steps will be taken.”

(Sorry guys, hope you got a chance to see it whilst it was here.)

Is it an alien though? Decide for yourself.
The fakes actually show how hard it is to fake fluid, lifelike movement.

Could Aliens Be Evolved Mushrooms?

I was reading about how some radiation-eating mushrooms were found at Chernobyl, and how a UFO may have prevented total disaster at Chernobyl (Pravda article, take with a bucket of salt), and then someone linked to this video with this mushroom-obsessed man, part of the Google Lecture series:

Paul Stamets: 6 ways mushrooms can save the world

And I couldn’t help but recall that abductees always say the UFO-occupants have mushroom-like skin. They always did seem like fun guys.

Was this the original lifeform on prehistoric Earth? Is it the telecommunications network of the soil as this man says? Is it what makes the Earth alive? Does panspermia (exogenesis) work via mushroom spores?

He also says that we humans have many genetic similarities with fungi. I’ve read in Human Genome Project articles that we have an enourmous similarity in genome sequences with nemotodes (worms) as well. Would it be safe to say that all life that contains DNA has many similar sequences? (Yes, mushrooms have DNA!)

How interesting that it is the psilocybian “magic” mushrooms that can evolve us spiritually? And the Amanita Muscaria. Hell, I just can’t leave this topic without linking to the video: The Pharmacratic Inquisition (I call it: Jesus was a mushroom. Search youtube for the Jesus was a Mushroom Song. Whoo hoo! John Allegro vid here.)

Pig Born with Monkey Face

Speaking of genetic similarities – doesn’t this picture prove that DNA is a storage-house of a whole range of biological functions? Eyes, ears, noses, zebra stripes, camouflage, antennae, monkey faces, etc.? Like Will Wright’s SPORE, you’ve got all the parts in there and you just pick the ones you want. Certainly would explain how evolutionary theory seems to fail us when dealing with certain complex structures, like the eye, with all the complex rods and cones that would be useless as an evolutionary feature were it not perfectly configured in said eye. (The analogy is usually made that it would be as if a bicycle just evolved naturally, despite that the gears and mechanisms would have no evolutionary purpose until the bike was assembled completely.) And it would explain the platypus. Sort of.

This was not the result of animal testing. This happened naturally:

Synchromystics – Planescape?

The synchromysics remind me of this video: Who Killed John O’Neill. Man, we should do a synchromystic parody of that – it would be brilliant.

I just wonder when one of the Synchromystics will have a huge chalkboard with everything laid out and will say, (after 10 hours of talking non-stop) “… and Meg Ryan eating a hot dog here, which ties to 347 BC, when Plato dies and Aristotle leaves Athens, and the shape of the Space Shuttle here, and the sun symbol on the logo here, draw a line down here which ties to Janet Jackson’s Sun-symbol nipple jewelry, which leads back to the solar mystics, and wallah! It’s done! I solved it! Everything, the universe, the media, it’s all there! Now what’s for lunch?”

Anyway, here’s something odd, but I don’t know what to make of it. When I was installing the original Fallout it popped up an old promo for a forthcoming (then) game called Planescape. I thought it was interesting looking and meant to research it, but forgot. When I did get around to looking into it, it turns out that the game itself was based on a Dungeons and Dragons module/world called Planescape (1990s).

Planescape: Torment

(There’s another video with a very deep sounding discussion that takes place in-game. Pretty heavy shit for a D&D game:

Ravel clacked her teeth. “Then was I a-learned in its flaws… Ego enwraps us like a prison. Forgot I did that it ofttimes serves as a shield.” Ravel clicked her tongue. “My pretty, pretty thing, there is much wisdom and understanding in the truth that life is a preparation for the ultimate goal: death. Our life is a means by which we learn how to die. If we forget such things…)

Well check out the Planescape Wiki. I was taken aback by the description of the world of “Planescape” as it sounds a hell of a lot like the new age philosophy (conspirosophy? synchrosophy?) I’ve been reading about the nature of our universe:

Rules

There are three principles (or heuristics) governing the world of Planescape: the Rule-of-Threes, the Unity of Rings, and the Center of the Multiverse.

Rule-of-Three

The first principle, the Rule-of-Three, says simply that things tend to happen in threes. The principles which govern the planes are themselves subject to this rule.

Unity of Rings

The second principle is the Unity of Rings, and notes that many things on the planes are circular, coming back around to where they started. This is true geographically as well as philosophically.

Center of All

The third principle (fitting evenly into the Rule-of-Three above) is the Center of All, and states that there is a center of everything — or, rather, wherever a person happens to be is the center of the multiverse… from their own perspective, at least. As most planes (like our own universe) are functionally infinite, disproving anyone’s centricity would be impossible. In Planescape, this is meant philosophically just as much as it is meant in terms of multiversal geography.

And then there’s this:

Sigil (pronounced with a hard g as in: wiggle), the “City of Doors”, is located atop the Spire in the Outlands. It has the shape of a torus; the city itself is located on the inner surface of the ring. There is no sky, simply an all-pervasive light that waxes and wanes to create day and night. Sigil cannot be entered or exited save via portals; although this makes it quite safe from any would-be invader, it also makes it a prison of sorts for those not possessing a portal key. Thus, many call Sigil “The Bird Cage” or “The Cage”. Though Sigil is commonly held to be located “at the center of the planes” (where it is positioned atop the infinitely tall Spire), some argue that this is impossible since the planes are infinite in all dimensions, and therefore there can never truly be a center to any of them, let alone all of them; thus, Sigil is of no special importance. Curiously, from the Outlands, one can see Sigil atop the supposedly infinite Spire.

Sad Clowns

For some reason Heath Ledger in this clown outfit (his actual last performance was this, not Dark Knight) for the new Terry Gilliam movie reminded me of Henry Miller’s The Smile at the Foot of the Ladder.

Have you ever read that? It’s short, but incredible. I’m boxing all my crap up and moving house right now and I meant to not put that one in a box and then promptly did.

The “everyday world will one day become ours,” Henry Miller (1891-1980) writes in the Epilogue to his truly sublime fable. “It is ours now, in fact, only we are too impoverished to claim it for our own” (p. 50). Miller’s forty-page novel begins and ends with his clown protagonist, Auguste, smiling (pp. 3; 40), and it will leave you smiling on every page in between. Auguste cavorts through Miller’s tale “like a crazy goat” (p. 24), aspiring to “endow his spectators with a joy which would prove imperishable” (p. 5). On his hero’s journey, he discovers a very important lesson: “To be yourself, just yourself, is a great thing” (p. 22). This is the central theme of Miller’s short, but deeply profound novel. Miller’s clown is a “poet in action,” an emancipated being “untouched, unsullied, by the common grief” of the world (pp. 46-7). Drifting “unknown” and “unrecognized” among the millions he taught to laugh (p. 6), Auguste lives “in the moment, fully” with the radiance of a “perpetual song of joy” (p. 48).

- Amazon reviewer, G. Merritt

Is this not the embodiment of Eckhart Tolle and the New Philosophy? I didn’t read it with that perspective back in the day, but man, I need to read it again now to mark a signpost and see how I’ve changed. (p.s. Do not believe this reviewer when saying, “you will smile on every page between”. If I recall correctly, it is pretty depressing.)

(Well how odd, one of the other reviewers says Henry Miller based this book on some clown drawings done by Fernand Leger. I have got to stop reading synchromystic blogs! Connections everywhere! Agh!)

Mirror’s Edge

As far as games go, I’m kind of excited about the next parkour game, Mirror’s Edge.
Have you seen the walkthrough they showed at E3?

There is a Mirror’s Edge teaser comic as well if you are interested. (Don’t be.)

Speaking of game comics, Dead Space, the “strategic dismemberment game”, (USA Banned Lullaby Trailer here) is getting the graphic novel treatment and a prequel animated movie (Dead Space: Downfall) – should be gruesome.

I need to go back to my disaster/rebirth now. Will try and update the blog when possible.

I also need to show you this strange geometric upside-down flower I took pictures of, but I don’t have my adaptor right now. Will update later this afternoon with the pics. I‘ll put it in the read more so you can practice your clicking.

Click read more for pictures.

p.s. I never told you that this picture:

Is actually Kelly Ripa and her mom.

My New Tat:

Seriously, Eckhart Tolle broke my relationship. But you know how the saying goes, bros before respectable American women.

This is all part of the journey; part of my evolution. I have an opportunity to start over and rebuild myself. All I need now is an apartment and prayer cushion to put in front of the xbox since I don’t have a couch. I only ask that you be very careful when playing around with enlightenment; it’s dangerous stuff.

As soon as we set up the KindaGamey store,
I’m sure we’ll be selling these:

And these:

My New Stat:

If you don’t understand what all that means, let me break it down for you. There is a blogosphere with millions and billions of stars in it and the closer you are to the center, the brighter and more powerful you are.

In other words:

The Watchmen

From Wiki:
Watchmen remains the only graphic novel to win a Hugo Award, and is also the only graphic novel to appear on Time Magazine’s 2005 list of “the 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to the present.”

The Watchmen is written about an alternate 1985, where superheroes are just regular people in costumes and war with The Soviet Union is imminent. Then what happens when a real superhero (the blue dude) with unfathomable power is thrown into the mix.

My screensaver at home:

The graphic novel is amazing and it is about to be released as a movie by the same director who made 300.* I can lend it to you if you want, but you need to get it back to me. Seriously, you might as well buy it because it is well worth having.

Trailer: http://watchmenmovie.warnerbros.com/

* Aside: Despite all the criticism, I actually found 300 to be quite good. I analyzed the dialog just waiting for the ‘cheese lines’ that permeate all testosterone-laden fare like this and they weren’t there. The dialog was meaningful and surprising (meaning, not cliched). Seriously, I think this film got a bad shake. I don’t even think the violence was gratuitous; I think the film was to be viewed as a painting/experience rather than a traditional cinematic  and the blood was just paint strokes on the canvas of historical mythology.

I also recently watched the CGI film Beowulf (Note: if you want to learn to write without using too many damnable adjectives, study the epic poem Beowulf!) and again I found it to be much deeper than I expected. I couldn’t believe that Grendel (pic) was a giant mutated/deformed human with an externalized eardrum (that couldn’t stand the noise of revelers partying.) Of all the horrific creatures they could have imagined I would have dismissed any one of them as we have seen near every horror and monster they have thrown at us from Cthulu to Aliens to B-Movie puppets and anime bloodsuckers and still, without question, the scariest thing has always been us. *cue the dueling banjos*

I don’t want to say too much about the plot, but to anyone that has read Watchmen: False flag operations anyone? 9/11? Instigating fear and destruction to force the American public to evolve? The Watchmen, V for Vendetta (both Alan Moore), The Dark Knight, The Matrix; all these films echoing a similar sentiment. The shades of deception for the greater good. I’m sure there are more.

The Dark Knight and the Synchronauts

(p.s. This next bit is crazy except to those of us that have fully ingested the synchronistic nature of the universe. Please don’t believe anything I say literally. This is free-form heuristic pattern-making in an attempt to discern the fractal composition of the universal tide. All things are caught in that tide. It includes natural events as much as it does the brains of human beings, who are consciously and even subconsciously compelled to instill certain ideas and visual cues into the mainstream, just as the natural world is underscoring concepts and urgency through impending natural disasters. It’s all part of the plan, baby. We’re just sussing it out. If we all die a horrible death? Well then that’s part of the plan too, but it doesn’t make for as good of a story; which, honestly, is the most important function of a universe, wouldn’t you say?)

I’m starting to realize that it is not my place to be a Synchromystic blogger. I’m supposed to be something else. I’ll still read them and take mental notes (that I’ll forget soon after), but I don’t think it is my job to participate on the same level that they do. These guys are really left brained and detail-oriented and I’m really (wait… left handed ~ right brained; oh yeah) right brained and squishy. I honestly don’t know what my place is. I’m not nerdy enough to be a nerd, not complacent enough to be a corporate slave, not detailed enough to be a conspiracy geek, not hardened enough to be a UFO guy, not ephemeral enough to be a new age guru, not substantive enough to be a writer, and not flexible enough to be a yoga instructor. I’m quite baffled at my place in this mess to be honest.

I want to stand on the highest precipice I can, but it seems that they’re all taken.

Anyway, the Synchromystic bloggers were talking about how the burning building scar in the batman poster looked like the scar on the joker’s mouth and it also looked like the supposed plane-hole left after 9/11 and I can’t find a straight-on batman picture, but it almost looked like the left side of his costume showed more cheek than the right side (or the natural line in Bale’s face visually foreshortens), a diametric opposite of the joker’s scar; an allusion to being one step away from what you fight the hardest.

Oh, here’s one:

The bloggers make connections to The Crow (Brandon Lee accidental death/Ledger accidental death; poster with bat symbol above, poster with Crow symbol above). Seriously, I’m not doing it justice at all. Those boys work hard for the money.

Here’s a link to one of the breakdowns.

Man, it even evokes this scary picture. Remember this?

That video still gives me the creeps. (Especially now with the left side all raised up and jokerified!)

After all of this I still don’t get the overarching message the Synchromystics are saying is coming out of this film. It was a crazy film: it condemned everybody! The batman, the joker, the cops, the citizens of Gotham for turning on each other when afraid: no one escaped this film’s condemnation! When I walked out of the theater I got the weirdest feeling that the message was:

The human race does not evolve without suffering. We, The Illuminati, are here to play the role of the bad guys. You think of us as the illuminated ones, but that is our title because it is our job to illuminate you. Even if our underlings think they are acting for greed and power, we at the top know it is for the eventual good of mankind and they only do it at our behest. When you have evolved then they shall crumble and we shall knock the legs out from under them. Then you will no longer need us.

We will help you worship the hero who will carry the burden of all of your problems; be it a film character, your government, your political idea, your country, science, your church, your god… then we will strike your heroes down one by one till the only hero left is you. And you will stand on your own two feet in defense of your own honor or in acceptance and dignity in death (see V for Vendetta).

I saw a documentary about Ancient Technology and it stated quite clearly that the largest periods of human technological advancement have all been during times of war. And you can see how much war we’ve had because we’ve completely technologically advanced and not at all socially or spiritually advanced. Whoops!

The tragedy that is 9/11, has caused the most incredible spiritual advancement and awakening to our government’s deceptions that has ever happened. Wha-at? It has done an amazing service to mankind on a global scale. Those of you who prowl the web as I do know what I’m talking about. And now I see the evolution happening in commercials, movies, books, people, comments on message boards… everywhere! If the bad guys are the ones who orchestrated it, how on earth has it done so much good? How did everything else go off without a hitch, but Bush was made to look like such a cowardly ass reading a goat book? (Was Bush a sacrificial lamb that they threw to the wolves? How could the media be so complicit to defend the real cause of 9/11 and yet equally hoist Bush on his own retard ~ is the media not really the lapdog of the government; does the media work for them?) Was Nader right when he said it had to get worse to get better?

The fear of global warming, of the end of the earth, of armageddon ~ even Eckhart Tolle says in A New Earth that the spiritual awakening is only possible NOW because it is basically change or die time for the human race. It will happen because it must happen.

Ignoring that this synchromystic film posted below is called Time Tree Echos, Equilibrium, and The Obama Antichrist? Part I (the creator does not think that Obama is the Antichrist) it delves into a bit of the old batman stuff 19:41. Those quotes are talking to you! If you think they are just piece of fiction and fluff you are sadly mistaken. V for Vendetta was talking to you! And the message is getting in whether you want it to or not. Hell, you’re reading my crazy-ass blog ain’t you?

9/11 stuff below. You don’t want to hear that. Don’t click read more. I’m not even an authority on this shit, I’m just throwing out some stuff I came across recently and some not so recent.

I’m going to do you a favor and start this blog over. I’ll stick the craziness I just wrote in the read more section where it can’t hurt anyone. Honestly, I think I need to save that stuff for a video presentation where I can show you what I mean through graphical representations and analogies rather than just piling words on each other that may or may not reference the location in spacetime of the idea I was trying to confer. (Damn, I just did it again!)

Here’s the real stuff in realspeak: Sorry about all the cloud pictures. Richmond had an amazing cloud day where certain clouds just seemed glowing from within with their own power and majesty. It was truly amazing and I was obsessed with capturing them; even if the pictures cannot even show the breadth of perspective I saw on that day.

Some of the darker pictures are from this amazing adventure I had where my friends invited me to go to the river at nighfall; but not the standard place one usually goes — this was a secret location, an island, that in order to get there you had to walk across train tracks, down steep winding hills, and then we walked across a dam,  thankfully stepping on concrete covered with traction-providing vegetation, with water rushing over our feet, somewhat scared and yet exhilarated, with the moon rising right in front of us – in perfect alignment with the dam. We were loaded down with beer and weed and hot dogs and marshmallows and flashlights and other junk and it had a real Stand By Me feel to it. We met a man who has been going there and inviting his friends every full moon for the last 20 years. We didn’t even know the moon was going to be full that night, nor how incredibly huge and mesmerizing it would be.

Anyway, it was too dark to take any picture that really captured the moment as it was, but I will never forget that moment.

Someone somewhere would say what we did was illegal and would have tried to put a stop to it in some way. If I had a kid and he asked to do something like that I can’t say I’d feel comfortable letting that happen, and yet the event was so amazing and meaningful that it seems like a crime to regulate someone’s life so explicitly that they would never experience something like that. Maybe these events are made even more meaningful, eventful, and exciting because they are illegal. Maybe that is part of the power of the message of the memory. Some tight-assed busybody might have done us a philosophical favor by trying to exterminate our right to endanger ourselves in search of a more valuable experience.

As for the Wife Swap clip; that was another referential moment in my timeline when I laughed inside and wanted to share that moment with you. Am I sharing my enjoyment of that moment or am I just sharing the moment itself so you can judge how it makes you feel? Well if you have come to have known me through this blog or however, then you experience it on both levels – how it makes you feel and it also adds to your understanding of what kind of things that I find amusing in life and what that says about me. If you laugh, the catalyst to that enjoyment could contain both concepts. Our filters make the world we perceive.

Have some cellphone photos. Sorry about all the clouds:
