We’re All Fucked – Even You.
Okay, the bad news first – We’re all fucked. Now that we have that out of the way – let’s move on to the good news – oh, wait – there’s not any. We’re all fucked and that is all there is to it. How are we fucked? Well – let’s look at freedom. Think…
Revelation Made Clear – The Breaking of the Seven Seals
The end days are upon us – I’m no Christian, but here’s some pretty clear revelation for you…. First Seal: A white horse appears, whose crowned rider has a bow with which to conquer. (6:1–2) – this is Putin in Crimea Second Seal: A red horse appears, whose rider is granted a “great sword” to…
The Internet Isn’t What We Thought It Would Be….
Back in the 1990’s I was an activist. Even while I was still in the Marine Corps, I was placing Greenpeace stickers on garbage cans in the barracks and trying hard to bring about little changes in consciousness – granted, it was probably the wrong place to do it and that might explain why I…
A 99 Day Break from Facebook
UPDATE: Just a few days in and I already find that I have extra time on my hands. It’s amazing how when I have a spare moment on the computer or in the shop or at home, my mind says “Check out Facebook” and then when I don’t I realize – “Hey, I don’t need…

Young men in Edgecombe and Nash Counties who previously might have gone…

America – One Month in the USA – Bank Robbery, Prison, Squatting, Ambulances, and Dinosaurs
It’s been a month since we arrived in the USA – we haven’t seen a lot of the country, but we have seen a lot. We saw a bank robbery in Millbrae, California when we went to go meet my friend for dinner. Officers had the Bank of America surrounded and were using AR-15s and…
The American Project
The American Project by Vago Damitio http://www.vagodamitio.com/ I’m considering a new direction and project in my life and work. I’ve never been keen on the American dream or being American (aside from the passport) – but as I get ready to come home and bring my immigrant family with me – I realize, maybe I never…
