I haven't figured it out... Yet!

I hung some toys for our pet African Grey "Bebe" and caught him on my phone camera playing around upside down. He spends most of his days hanging like this and it doesn't stop at that :P the things he screams, i'd have never thought so much fun can come out from a parrot...

I'll put up some other videos...

Oh what fun! the Red Bull crew and myself were down @ Ras al Khayma a couple weeks ago for the qualifications for the Red Bull Street Style competition. It was a ton of fun and laughs. We set up the gear and were ready for the free style soccer fans who came to showcase their talents. We also did Al Ain the week after which was even more intense! It's too bad I had to cut my trip short and miss the Abu Dhabi and this week's Dubai qualifications... obviously the Dubai finals... But it's all fine and dandy as I'm setting my eyes on the RB Air Race which will take place March 2010 in Abu Dhabi Marina

Yours truely on the RB Ram

















Here's a little video my long time buddy Roy cooked up The Al Ain footage.

Until next time peace

As requested, I'm posting this for Picasso

Enjoy :P

Part of my daily routine is to go about mainstream media sources and well, see how deep in it we are - compared to yesterday. The main article that struck me was on CNN. It didn't really strike me like falling off my chair kind of thing, but in a sense that the blame for Middle-East peace is wrongfully placed. It's no longer making sense when, the US, who's always "defended" Israel's right to defend itself and so on, is now being ignored when making "simple" demands. For all these years that Isreal's received countless financial and military aid, you'd expect that the gov would, at least, consider a request by the US. But eventually, the truth of the matter and the intent surfaces. It's been a long standing goal, this continuous construction of settlements, illegal I need to add, will not end. An interesting read at The David Trinh blog voices similar concerns of mine. Indeed, as David states, there's no legitimacy to these claims, to the last of my knowledge, Occupied Territories meant and actually still means illegal occupation. So how is that legitimate? This anti-Semitism, in my opinion, is an overblown scheme at pitying the Jewish people... But who pities the Palestinians, or the Armenians. Is it that their genocide is not "worthy"? Those with conditions so lamentable, it borders genocide but not just the conventional way... We're not just talking slaughter of the masses, like in Gaza not too long ago - enough that people already forgot the atrocities committed. My 2 cents on how it's happening
- economically: restricting movement = people can't get to work, no money made on an individual basis but also on a national level as well. Small shops have to close down because of lack of materials getting to them. This also means children can't go to schools which takes me to the next point.
- socially: when you have a nation whose illiteracy rate is soaring, it's definitely not going to end up positively and surely would mean more food for the radicals... is it just me or is Israel completely missing the point? Or maybe it's their goal to give themselves the pretext to mass murder, not that it's not the case already. I always remember this common say in the Arab world that goes like this, "darabni w baka, saba'ni w shtaka" which translates to he hit me, cried and ran to tell on me. Kind of puts things into perspective.
- biologically: Israel's use of illegal ordinance (also testing new weaponry) isn't only felt during combat - phosphorous and depleted uranium shells - these have long term effects like birth defects and severe illnesses. Those are the main points I can think of at the moment, reiterating this always sets a sad, downsome mood in me as it's unjust and there's nothing an individual, just one, can do about it. This sense of helplessness pains me because we're on this Earth, we're Humans, it doesn't matter where we came from, what color our eyes or our skin is... We're all the same...

Who am I kidding?

Well I'm posting about this since I've found no relative information regarding this and i'll let you guys be the judge about it's authenticity.

I got sent this by email today and since I believe sharing is caring.... here goes: New denominations for the American currency (5 - 10 - 20 - 50 - 100 - 200)

Big Party! 25th of April you don't want to miss it! Got faceboo? Check it out! http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=64084547346&ref=nf

Will be there! You can count on it!

the holidays have passed and thank god, if there is one! letting too much crap into my bubble, this BS has been at its peak this time around and really dreadin the next one. but we got a whole year ahead of us? yeah of hell!
i haven't been posting, not that i was out of time... i'm always out of time... i was just in just a sickened mood, still am.. about whatever the f@#% that's going on (on a multilevel which i care not describe or explain atm) and how everyone just stands there and watches... no will to do anything, to fight for what's right, what's genuinely right... humanity, humility... simply non existent. We live in a fken society of consumer robots indebted to the eye-balls, fed genetically modified-the-f#@%-out foods, identityless but definitely ID'd, there's a complete loss of individualism, of creativity, of craftsmanship, of the slightest form of thought (PERIOD!)

ah whatever... who the hell cares, right ?

PS: here's an example of a total moron that fits the earlier description...

It's odd that when you break out of the shell and explore, listen, you find that you're not alone... that a population as a whole sinks in dark coldness and withdrawal as the barometer drops in the negative. How the lack of sun and warmth turns one into a mishaps magnet as the odds of having these multiply. But that's when it's so obvious, the presence of human vampires, not blood sucking ones FFS!, energy feeding drainers. I need not go in the details for it is quite easy to spot those who lift you from those who don't. It's also quite simple to spot those on whom you have the feeding or fed effect, if it happens to them, it happens to everyone - deal with it!. I'm no rocket scientist but it seems this kind of human nature/behavior is amplified with the weather. Energy transfers work in both ways, - and +, the repercussions of massive grief/joy go much farther than just the people concerned. So the question is, why would humans put themselves in an environment that won't let them grow - not economically/socially - won't let them grow in the sense that you're confined to more of the indoors for 4-6 months... that's a tragedy for the mind... it DOES suffer, as Humans, we need the sun for a proper chemical balance in our brains... how's it any different than malnutrition? If you think about it scientifically, it simply is malnutrition! The need of vitamin D isn't fulfilled so yeah I'm gonna hear the "but people take supplements". for what? vitamin D? yeah i get that in my centrum, so? You're still not getting the sun and you're missing out on a lot. Moral of the story, none really, you either take it or you don't. you weigh it out and you take a decision after analyzing all the information and research you've accumulated.

There comes a time where you see the picture so clearly , it feels you're in it. I see and feel my picture, do you?

first actual winter shit delivered! the snow that turned into ice after the freezing rain built up a layer that was just frozen solid, like a wrapper... ended up with a broken sunroof... awesome!

Gotta go change it now...

... igotta get out of here!
