I just discovered this guy, but it appears he has a following on YouTube. He’s clearly talented both in his ability to play the keys and in composition. The beats he composes to play over are pretty cool.
And, yes, he’s a tad strange. But kind of endearingly so…
Here’s my favorite that I’ve seen so far. He’s playing around with a guitar sound here.
There’s another video after the jump of him improvising. Pretty awesome.
There aren’t many uncontacted people groups left on the planet. One more has been discovered in Peru and some fascinating pictures have been captured from a fly-by.
Check out the pictures as well as the story at The Daily Mail.
Skin painted bright red, heads partially shaved, arrows drawn back in the longbows and aimed square at the aircraft buzzing overhead. The gesture is unmistakable: Stay Away.
Behind the two men stands another figure, possibly a woman, her stance also seemingly defiant. Her skin painted dark, nearly black.
The apparent aggression shown by these people is quite understandable. For they are members of one of Earth’s last uncontacted tribes, who live in the Envira region in the thick rainforest along the Brazilian-Peruvian frontier.
Thought never to have had any contact with the outside world, everything about these people is, and hopefully will remain, a mystery.

I’m watching Johnny Mnemonic right now. And I just don’t get it. First, there’s the casting. Keanu Reaves makes sense, I guess. When you need a guy to act without personality, he’s your go-to guy. But, Ice-T? Isn’t he a rapper that moonlights on Law and Order? His name makes no sense and has a hyphen in it, so he must be.
He makes me laugh when he’s not being funny. That’s not a good sign. He should do a movie with that other rapper/movie star with a funny name: Ice-Cube. After all, you really can’t have Ice-T without Ice-Cube.
The thing that puzzles me about this movie is the whole premise. We only use 10% of our brains, so they say. Why not use the rest of the un-used space to traffic illegal information in an apocolyptic Mad Max world where all the buildings are rusting and everyone wears punk rocker clothes? Makes sense, right? Right?
Then there’s the random dolphin/brain hacker that can blow stuff up by shooting powerful brain waves out of a satellite dish attached to its head. Don’t try to tell me that plot twist wasn’t conceived of after a few too many shots of tequila on a lonely night.
We have this day off for reason. Let’s remember the incredible freedom we have and those who have paid the ultimate price for it.
This is Leann Rimes singing “Amazing Grace”.

Cool song, cool video. Gotta like Coldplay.
Note: Coldplay haters will be banned and where would you be then? Where would you go? What kind of life could you have without this blog? Think about it and don’t be a hatuh.
I’m a wallpaper junkie. My hard drive is full of these kinds of images that I rotate on my PC’s desktop. I suppose it’s because I spend so much time in front of a computer, I get bored easily. Also, I think the people who create these images and take these photos are true artists.
I thought I would share a few links with you to some amazing images.
