Pen & Teller, most people know them for the magic tricks they do, or comedy bits, others know about the "Bullshit" program where they pick apart topics to see how much "bullshit" is involved.
Now before you begin watching this episode with food/diet/organic/starvation themes, always be critical of BOTH sides including Pen & Teller, because remember, they ALSO are trying to get you to belive in one side. So they WILL cherry pick the most awkward people to represent the "other side" of the issue, they will generalize things (most of the time with the word "bullshit"), and will use humor to the advantage of gaining your aliegance. EVERYONE does this, it's why you want to be critical.
However, with the critical viewing instilled in me when I watch things like this, I still found myself to side with Teller & Pen on this issue, and i do most the time, but realize, I am being FED most ideas by people who want you to eat them. You, as I do, usually never study everything you do - including BOTH sides of what you want. If you think eating organic sounds good, people tend to look at the advatages of it, then go in. WITHOUT usually looking at negative or UNPROVEN-positive effects.
Now if you want an old blog I wrote as a sort-of referrance tie-in with part 3 of this episode
Read This. Then after you eat up on that, "Read more..." of this blog for the episode. I recomend this for dieting people, people interested in either side of the organic vs genetically enginered food, advertising, "health-nuts", greenpeace, things like this.
Go ahead, it's worth it...

community, blog, poll
Again, I had
another Mystery Poll on my page, and this one was up for a WHILE! this time it had nothing to do with macabre themes, I promise
This time it was 1, 2, or 3 - THAT SIMPLE! What did they represent though? welp, it was the number of people in a relationship that "make it happen"
Haha! most of you think that 3 people are needed for love to happen, while a very close second choice is 2 people - the choice i was rooting for, and last was the option of only 1 person needed in a relationship
What did you vote for? what did you think they represented?
Did you vote in my new poll? do it now!

You may have noticed the new style to my page, pretty sweet huh? yeah, the header image was taken by my fiance, it's a pretty gorgeous photograph isn't it
Also, just so everyone knows, i did NOT write the CSS scripting for the profile! I stole the CSS from my
Nintendo group N+, and re-colored different panels and backgrounds and texts and images. I also had to figure out new padding, and how to shove the new image in where the old one left off. THAT css was written by
Khadgar, I just hijacked it and altered as much as i know how, more small edits to come as I learn the language. Other than that the styling is my own, which is pretty much color choice, padding placement on a few things, and the writing in the top left of whatever page you are on, hopefully soon I can change the tab font, I figured out how, but it will take some time for a n00b like me to get the spacing right.
so how does it look?

Awesome, so I am going to the
Rock Opera event in San Fransisco on the 25th! I gotta tell ya, I was invited to go, I didn't TRY to get in to the thing. But I am sure I am going to have a good time! Two bands will be playing at this private open bar club type thing:
The 88s and
The Binges. I have never heard them or of them before this so I also look forward to that experience. Now most of you know by now that I really don't drink. Maybee every once in a while I will have a Bailys Chocolate Shake, or when moje kochanie makes rum-tea I cannot refuse, but other than that the drink has never been something I have drank. I don't plan on breaking that either... unless there is Bailys Chocolate Shakes. I can't wait to go play with all the Opera stuff to!
Nintendo Wii Broswer I am VERY familiar with already,
Opera computer browser I am a big fan of, and can't wait till they download the
Opera Mini into my phone at the event for me.
Anyway, I hear that this event will be blogged and made into a big thing, something I would expect to happen. So I might appear in some of Operas official "stuff" or something.

Man, for as long as I can remember I have felt this crazy drive to create things, or modify things, or to just imagine htings. My hands though, these things get bored and they drive me nuts! I wish I could just kick back and relax, but they just want to do things with exacto blades, markers, tapes and glues. Couple these two furious forces with a racing mind and you get a disaster of a sleepless human being.
Ugh, oh well hopefully this Tai Chi class will calm me down. I really need to kick back and spend more time with other human beings meeting other human beings I havn't met... like girls. I need a girly, but alot of who I find either drink heavily (enough), or smoke, or just get worse. It's hard to find one of them clean girlies. The class is a testing ground for the new college as well, I am thinking about transfering from Metro to Red Rocks. Maybee while attending the new school I will meet ms. sweet. - prolly unlikely, I need an adorable dork who stays clean, and those don't exhist.
stupid wireless wii censor bar I'm making mcguyver-style out of a censor bar and a Emerson cd player remote. The damn thing doesn't work! and it's such an EASY circut! I am convinced Nintendo makes the most impossible to solder wires. I went through hell just lengthening an NES controller cord, and thats baby stuff.

It's always about time, and how much you have to be able to do the things you try to get done. And now that school is out for summer I have much more time to use for the bloggings, and the N+, and the crafts, and the customizing the things that I need to customize - Also today I am going to another college to set-up the Summer Tai-Chi class! Thanks for voting in the poll everyone! Anyway while I think up new crafts and designs and stuff to create why not check out the official
Anton Fan Club Store! I am personaly going to get the heart shirt, it's by far my favorite.
Anyway I have psuedo promised a few of you net-heads some customizations, and I still do plan on follwing them through. Although I only remember one of them, The doll for Helen and her daughter. BUT I'M BROKE! I am ultra broke, so effing broke, I have about $120 in my bank account, and I JUST got paid. The good news is that the $400some dollars I thought I owed for tuition I took care of earlier this year! I surprised myself, my scool balance is actually "-$23.40"! YES!

Ok! sorry I have been gone for a while! The shingles can really kick your butt
, and while I am not fully over them yet, I decided to update my page a little bit and post a new blog anyway, I hate being gone for so long!
First off many of you guys have been asking or are secretly wondering about my date with Ann, well it was great! I couldn't have been more happy with how things turned out, at one point before it started I did think it was already over though, haha! here is my tale...
We both sat out of ballet class again because her ankles hurt a bunch and my condition wasn't any better either so we took notes on the class and just kinda talked a bit. towards the end of class one of the other girls needed to return a sweater or somthing similar, maybee it wasn't even return anything, it wasn't my business so i tried to not over hear anything, but what I did gather was that Ann would need to follow her to the locker room to retrieve the item, AND that this girl had invited herself along to downtown! AH! crap! well Ann is extremely nice, and I think that I am as well, so neither one of us objected and she walked with us to the train and on the train.
I didn't talk too much cause I was doing the mind-mumbling "oh man, third wheel, third wheel" thing. This other girl is nice so I can't hold anything against her, nothing bad, but she just has that intrusive personality that is always begging for attention, sometimes unknowingly at the wrong time, like when your napping for the 2 minutes before class cause you didn't sleep at all, she will wake you up and tell you to wake up because she is there. "you sit on the other side of the class (we share a psych class) why should i get up", "just because". UGH, anyway like I said I can't call anything against her, shes just awkward.... ANYWAY when we get off it turns out that she is going another direction and wishes us a good lunch, HAHA my spirits were well again! We walked for a while and just talked, and found a starbucks (not too hard) and just talked, and we talked a whiiiile, (of coarse I insisted on paying for drinks), we left cause she had a concert to go to later that night, even though we really were there for a while she said she felt bad cutting it short, I was still super happy, We walked for a whiiile talking, we passed where I was supposed to wait for the train hoping she wouldn't notice cause we were talking, she didn't notice, we kept walking and talking for a while, she finaly noticed, I told her I was just walking her home, she said I didn't have to, I told her I didn't have to have tea either, but I felt good doing it so it was no bother, I walked her all the way home while we talked, we hugged, I walked to the train and went home.
Over the coarse of the conversations we had I learned soooo many things about her character that I love! she doesn't smoke or drink! holy crap! that is sooo hard to find, and I was just about to lower my standards thinking they were too high! haha! 
- We love the same types of movies but found it hilarious that we havn't seen half of the movies, wait it was more like ANY of the movies the other has seen, well except Kill Bill. And on that note we are going to plan on watching movies and drawing at her place sometime. And on THAT note we both love to draw but don't like the "education" part of it so much, we both feel like it's to "stuffy" or "snobby" or better words "not enjoyable" in a classroom setting. But we both love art so much. She also has a billion intrests, probably more than I do, which I find rare and exciting! Neither one of us has a job right now, we both are running off of our savings, and most the things we planned I think are just coincidencly low on cost! we wanna go hiking, watch movies we already own, draw, stuff like that, although sometime next month she agreed to see this musical with David Hyde Pierce (Niles from Frasier) with me! She is going to graduate school in California lAAAAAte this year (late september ) so we can do alot of stuff this summer, at least I plan to propose alot of stuff. So overall it was ultra cool, and she is totally sweet. I will do my best not to set myself up badly, and to keep things paced well, but to qoute Prince and Gwen "So Far, So Pleased"Ok, Spot 2! I decided to draw another picture traditionaly (without the computer), and more complex thatn I usually do, you know the cartoon stuffs? I wanted another detailed piece to prove to myself I am not loosing my talent. I put it up
in the Art Album, Tell me what you think. There are two different "uploads" in there,
the regular "printer paper" size, and the
1024 x 768 wallpaper size (That poll I had up came in handy! this was the most voted on size, other than "other"). The same description is on both, but the Wallpaper size comes with instructions on how to get it full size.
And Spot 3!
CaptainPenguin asked me what the story of "Captain Seagull" was! He said his was a nickname from school because people thought he walked like a penguin (roughly). Well I want to tell you! all of you! but that will be for tomorrow! It is quite the tale, and I wanna save the blog spread-out, that and this one will get HUGE if I add it!
LAWL!
Thank you all for visiting!
