People

i haven't written in awhile...... i apologize about that to whomever may have noticed.

if you find yourself bored and have nothing to do, search out a public place where you know flocks of people migrate to. once your there, just watch. this is a very interesting thing to do, some people label this the art of "people watching" some hadn't given it a name but still find themselves doing it (your welcome for giving you a title for your hobby). myself, i do this whenever another person is in eye shot of me. all you have to do is watch, now im not talking about whipping out the binoculars and full out stalk a person im merely saying watch people while they are in eye sight. you will find out very intriguing things about human nature by just watching. the whole world is just one big science experiment, you just have to choose what to take note of or what to disregard.

now the tricky part of people watching is not to be too blatant about it. its the same thing as if you were watching wild life, if they notice you there they might not do whatever it is they naturally would do at that particular moment in time. therefore, you are a factor in the equation of their actions. you don't want that, you want to be back round noise, just fit in, go chameleon and just watch. the things that you will notice will not only entertain you but in fact enlighten you on what life truly is.

we are all statistics in one way or another, it all depends on what category of person we fall under. now, with this in mind you need to be very particular on how you separate your findings on people, you don't want to just lump people in groups without knowing who that person actually is. who knows, maybe something drastic in that person's life just happened and that played into the fact whether or not he/she signs to the song they are listing to or if they just walk by that trash that is blowing by instead of picking it up and placing it in the garbage receptacle conveniently located next to them. all these things come into play when people watching.

now don't get me wrong, just sitting back and letting things happen as they do is fine, but you should never judge people on what you see, always keep an open mind to what their particular circumstance might just be at that certain time. however, feel free to judge people that just seem to make very poor decisions in life like rubbing their genitals in public or yelling at random people and trying to start confrontations every chance they get. these people have a different outlook on life, a flawed perception of being as seen by the majority of the public. you can write these people off as lost causes, because until they realize how small they really are in the grand scheme of things they will never be able to except life outside of their own worthless bubble of an existence. i guess people that rub their genitals in pubic don't really fall into this category, well they might, but not every time.

i don't really know why i just opened my blog up and started typing about this. just speaking from what on my mind i guess.

i hope something in this post makes sense to you as you read in and i hope you will now be able to perceive people a little better. or at least try to.

Movie I'd Like To See.

What you have just seen is a freelance documentary

entitled "Exit Through the Gift Shop", this movie was

filmed by a French store keeper turned documenter

who tries to locate and befriend the world renowned

graffiti artist Banksy. However, since this street artist

has been anonymous for as long as he has been

around he was very reluctant to being video taped.

Other street artists that are featured are people such

as Shepard Fairley (the guy who came up with

Obama's famous "Hope" poster, as well as Invader

and many more.

This Film not only looks interesting because of the

intense graffiti that is being created before the lens,

but it is because this run of the mill guy is filming the

un-filmable. These are people that express

themselves in controversial/illegal ways. Banksy

alone has been around since the late 1980's and has

yet to be named with a face. His work is mostly stencil

art which saves on time and allows for intricate pictures.

Banksy has done some work outside of the streets such

as sneaking into well known art museums and placing

his own work on the walls (known as "shortcuts"

because it takes too long for the museums to properly

choose which painting to display). All of Banksy's work

has strong political, ethical and definitely controversial

topics.

Below are some of my favorites of his work.

Interesting Cellphone Facts

I recently stumbled onto some interesting things I did/didn't know my cell phone could do so i decided to share it with all you lovely blog surfers. I hope that one day at least one of these will come in handy for you.

5 Things You Never KnewYour Cell Phone Could Do

For all the folks with cell phones. (This should be printed and kept in your car, purse, and wallet. Good information to have with you.)

There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies.

Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival. Check out the things that you can do with it:

FIRST
Emergency

The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find Yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile network and there is an Emergency, dial 112 and the mobile wi ll search any existing network to Establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly, this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.

SECOND
Have you locked your keys in the car?

Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys In the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot From your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other ' remote ' for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).


THIRD

Hidden Battery Power

Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys*3370#. Your cell phone will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell phone next time.

FOURTH
How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?

To check your Mobile phone ' s serial number, key in the following Digits on your phone: *#06#. A 15-digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe.

If your phone gets stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.

And Finally.....

FIFTH
Free Directory Service for Cells

Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411 information calls when they don't have to. Most of us do not carry a telephone directory in our vehicle, which makes this situation even more of a problem. When you need to use the 411 information option, simply dial: (800)FREE411, or (800) 373-3411without incurring any charge at all. Program this into your cell phone now.

Mascots..... Real Emotions or Fake Reactions

Hello, Hello. I've decided to come back into the blogging game with some thought provoking material for all you sports fans out there. I was recently watching a sports match (Saints vs Viking as a matter of fact) and I witnessed something that made those little out of line, but highly functional, gears in my head start to churn. At the final moments of a highly riveting game all fans are on the edge of their seat, be it the currently winning team or the team losing at that particular moment but still has a chance at redemption. None the less once the game is over there is usually quiet an uproar from the fans of the winning team, which then segues into team mate on team mate debauchery of cheering and chest bumping.

Now this is where the food for thought comes into play, the mascot..... the mascot of the winning team is always jumping around getting in on all the wonderful feelings of victory spilling out. But, is that man (or woman) under that huge sweaty suit really happy for the victory? or is he/she just putting on a show because that is what they are paid to do (if they are even paid)?

Think about it what if your job was to be a mascot for a team you gave two shits about and you have to be peppy and joyous when it comes to anything that involves them? That would be complete hell, what if it was a team you completely hated? If that doesn't drive someone to the bottle you are a stronger person then I. I just can't make myself believe that anyone under a mask of a smile or anything of that nature is truly smiling underneath.

After thinking about this for quiet some time i have decided to place the position of "mascot" under my "jobs that people with no true happiness" list. Just under "clowns" and just above "waiter at high class parties".

Phantom Cell Phone

I had posted before about the phantom poop so this is just a little more into the unknown. I'm sure everyone has experianced this before the starnge feeling you might have either heard your phone go off or felt in vibrate. But once you check nothing...... Strange I know. But if you ask me I think maybe you aren't going crazy but there was actually a noise or an alert.

With phones the way they are today with so much to do on them I think companies make your phone go off randomly and quieter then usual so people use them more. Think about it, the more you use your phone the better plan you need. I know its a stretch but it could be true. Happens to me all the time, I think I hear my phone so I check. Once disapointed there wasn't a message I begin messen around on the phone.

The phanotm alert, is it in our heads or is it a real alert? Think on it next time you randomly feel a vibrate or hear a sound and there is nothin there for it.

Road Way Etiquette

Over the past 6 months I have found myself behind the wheel a good portion, about 40 hours a week for some of it. Needless to say I put a shit load of miles on my car as well as having to throw an even bigger shit load of money into the mother-fucker. But with all these miles and aggravating hours under my belt I was able to pick up on some road way etiquette that I wanted to share with all you bloggarians.

1) Go the fucking proper speed on the highway. We all know that for most highways the speed limit is 65, but we are also aware that no one goes that speed on the highway, people tend to keep their cars somewhere between 70-85. So go with the fricken flow of traffic or don't use the highway. Unless there are special circumstances never fall under the appropriate speed, the circumstances could be things such as: bad weather, car problems, too much to drink, warrant for your arrest..... you get the idea. If any of these fall into your category then fine, but stay in the fucking right lane with the grandmas and truckers. (For the picture I couldn't really get one that depicted a car going slow so I just found what the slow kids drive in, hope you understand.)

2) Don't spontaneously brake. This is one of the worst, people that feel the need to constantly tap their brakes while driving. News flash if you take your foot off the gas every once in awhile your car slows down automatically. There is no need to keep jumping back and forth from gas to brake gas to break. Its bad for your car for one thing and the continuous flash of your red brake lights can really cause someone to see red, if you know what I mean. (think about the image in the picture of there wasn't a lot of cars in front of the yellow one and he was still braking.)

3) Bobbers and weavers. I respect the people that can strategically pull off this maneuver without coming off as a complete douche bag, but those who can't do this without causing the people around them to slam on brakes or swerve to avoid collision is ok with me. (It might not look like it but the picture is actually a retarded woman depicting the act of bobbing and weaving.)

4) People on cell phones. Ok ill admit I tend to talk on my cell phone every now and then but I a. Don't stay on long or b. usually use a handless set (and not a gay one). Im talking about those people that chat away on their phone oblivious to all other traffic around them, merging without looking, going 20 miles an hour, swerving all over. Im talking about those fucking bastards.

5) This next category is me stereotyping because we all know that there is always exceptions, but I say be politically correct there and what does that mean you ask? It means majority rules, so if the majority of your category is guilty of this you all have to pay. This all being said if you are old, or a woman, or asian stay off the fucking road, and if you are all of these things never even look at a car because you can't drive worth of shit.

Now these are just a handful of some of the problems on the road. I believe them to be a majority of the problems however, so try to abide by them. And try to make our roads once again safe for people to be on their marry way.

Phantom Poops

This quiet and overlooked problem is most likely plaguing the world and no one has talked about it. Well I'm here to change that, once again, and get it all out on the table.

I'll start this off by telling everyone of you blogginers. A "phantom poop" is the mysterious occurrence when you get that overwhelming feeling of the ever growing urgency of a trip to the mighty throne to unleash the furry. When the feeling is too much to take anymore and you finally sit down to let out the unneeded minerals you all the proper feelings that signifies everything went as planned. But, to your chagrin when you stand to take a gander at your recent triumph there is nothing to smile at, just an empty boil of yellowed water (and hopefully some TP you dirty sallies out there). This my friends is a "phantom poop", no visual trophy for your moments of intestinal battle.

Even though this is a minimal problem, to some of us, it does cause your smile/devious smirk to turn downwards. And I know that your recently sculpted waste artifact is most likely just snaked its way curiously down its inevitable path prematurely, there is still a possibility that it never in fact existed. If the latter is the case then what did you just go through? hmmmmmm there you go, the mental gears are now turning, contemplating the possibility that you sit and give birth to an anal baby without actually doing so.

So keep this in mind next time you sit down and shed a couple pounds. Then once you turn for that visual and find nothing think about what you just went through and if it was all for nothing.

Then think what else do you struggle through to come up without any rewards.

Now thats life.
