Signs of the times...

...I have no idea what that means. Perhaps it's one of the more obscure Bene Gesserit litanys: "My body, mind and soul are meant to work together. I change everything by not changing...". Or perhaps these are alternative lyrics to How soon is now: "I am the constant one. I am change itself... so how can you say I go about things the wrong way?"

Hmmm I wonder if I should try this the next time I go out clubbing? Well as a wise man once said: "You already know the answer Neo."


"Hey Baby, just thought you'd like to know that 'I change everything by not changing'..."

"I'm sorry I don't understand..."

"What I mean is that 'my partners find their lives completely changed in the morning'...you know what i'm saying girl?"

"No. No I don't. How will my life be changed in the morning?"

"Well umm... you know it'll 'change by not changing'"

"In fact you really don't have any idea what you're saying, do you?"

"Ttt. Sh'yeah. Of course I do. Lessee ummmm...'Fear is the mind killer'? 'A bell is a cup until it is struck'? 'From the one comes the many'.'Do What thou Wilt..'"

"Okay ... i'm going to stand over in that corner now until you leave the club. Bye!"

Cannnnn You Dig It?

In a just a couple of hours i'll be sipping Jack & Cokes somewhere over the clouds and on my way to enjoy a sucker-free two weeks on holiday! Well, that or i'll have been taken down by over enthausiastic TSA agents who've somehow mistaken my bottle of cologne for some form of home made flame thrower. I believe the TSA base it's list of items forbidden for air travel by reviewing old episodes of Macgyver.

TSA Agent 1: "Well let's see here.... the passenger has three paperclips, a stamp, a bottle of mouthwash and the latest issue of Sports Illustrated."

TSA Agent 2: "My God man... he could kill us all!"

Incidentally, i'm still wondering how it is that I can't bring a can of shaving cream on board the plane but apparently if I was to turn my cell phone on mid-flight we'd all go careening into the ocean? Really, is that right? You mean to tell me it just takes a few maniacs armed with a couple of NoKia's to take down a plane?

Just curious, that's all.

Anyway, the real reason for this post was that I wanted to do a list of some of my favorite things from 2006 ( within the realm of pop culture). "Television, movies and comics" as the old Pop Will Eat Itself song goes. So, without further ado....
