You know what sucks?This website.
Look down a few posts.I have posted the same three identical posts.what is the deal with this site,I make SURE to press the "publish post" button ONCE and ONLY once.and it does this to me!!!!!!!!you know what?You'll have to get used to it because in the past when I tried to delete a duplicate it deleted all of them,so it's better to be safe than sorry.Call the duplicate posts "Backup" it means it's a really good post for me to post it three times to ensure its being read............

You know,since my last blog I haven't had any problems with my ears,me thinks it's from my cold.To not have my eustachieon tubes bother me isn't excactly worth the agony of having my head constantly a-swimming and not to mention the dry hacks,runny nose,constant weakness,sore throat and tooth pangs (probably not from the cold,just threw it in for pity-points).Sure,I was ready to rip my ears off my head a few days ago,at least I had the energy for something that would no doubt take some work,seeing as how my ears are basically pure rubber (have been ever since I was a kid) they probably aren't prone to snapping off.Okay,enough of those ideas.I love to imagine our heads can be manipulated like modeling clay (if you've ever seen some of the drawings I've done of peoples heads in impossible poses,you'll know what I mean)
Today,despite being sicker than,well,a week ago,but better than yesterday,I was very giddy.It may have been from spending the whole day reading MAD magazines from the 70's (I have the 1969 to 1974 issues all on a cd rom i bought for $10) but basically I'd laugh if someone recited the alphabet.Seriously I don't want you people to suddenly see images of me in a straight jacket in a padded cell with a disturbing grin on my face,I was of a "lighter heart" today,probably because I seem to be recovering from a recent un-wellness.
See the movie "Heavy" It has Liv Tyler (one of the best) and the shifty-eyes guy from "Identity". It's an absolutly wonderful love story that I absolutly hated right after I saw it,but the more I look back on it,the more I can see myself buying it on DVD.Speaking of Good movies (movie) Avoid the movie "Stargate"
It has Kurt Russel (one of the worst) and a geeky hunk they call "Daniel" (actor,who cares?).It's an absolutly awful space story that I absolutly hated right after I saw it,and the more I look back on it,the more I can see myself buying all the "Stargate" DVDs in existense and melting them into a giant digital cannonball and firing it at the studio that released such shlock.It rivals the Matrix sequels,for stupid,metaphysical,eastern religious hyper-babble.Only in this movie most of the dialoque is in a cheesy made-up language that sounds like a pack of fat dogs hurling chunks.
My eyes are so watery,they're constantly wanting my eyelids down.Does it mean I should go to bed?No because if that were true my right eye needs a lot more sleep than my left,because it's far more demanding.

Wanna hear something funny?
I've had this irratating problem with my ears where I can hear my own voice and breathing (not in a normal fashion,it's really loud and it echos through my head) anyways,It's been going on for about a year now off and on,somedays worse than others.anyways I had it today so bad that I decided to look it up on the net.Found out I have what is called "patulous eustachian tubes" or "PET" anyways this is a dystfunction and it can't be cured......sad but true.they can stick tubes down your tubes and that apperantly gives some relief for a limited period of time,or you can try sniffing peper to irratate the membranes ot stick your head between your knees.anyways It seem to work to stick my head between my knees,so that's what I'm gonna do and mabye it'll go away eventually.....
anyways apperently this can be caused by weight loss.I started excersising a year back and that's when it started I didn't excersise enough to look different but it doesn't take much weight loss for this to possibly happen.apperantly the surrounding fat may hold the eustachean tubes shut but if you lose enough weight they open to easily.I'm frustatrated at the fact that I may live with this forever but at least it's not as bad as some of the others testimonies on the net,some people seem to be going insane over this ( It is one of the most brain-shatteringly irrataing sounds,to hear your voice echo around your head) anyways,just telling everyone my sad little story.I hope I can post an interesting blog soon,I seem to be getting boring..........

I've never been interested in cable TV,we have three channels and we are happy with them for delivering us the simpsons,frasier,survivor and a few other sitcoms and reality shows.Until yesterday I've never seen a good enough reason to get cable seeing as how you spend most of your time finding out whats on and not actually watching anything.Well,on "Spike" TV ( achannel for men who like sports I suppose) was a show I'd never seen called "MXC" (most extreme elimination challenge) which is a japanese extreme sports show where the contestants win nothing and the original is called "Takeshis castle" anyways we have and english dubbing over top (mostly making fun of the contestents and adding a lot of innuendo-a la,"mystery science theatre 3000")anyways,it's not the dubbing that makes it funny because we saw most of it on mute and were laughing our heads off.It's like fear factor but entertaining.instead of seeing the same stupid 6 people fior the wqhole episode completing extreme challenges you see random japanese people doing extreme sports that are as absurd as anything you'd see in a mario party game.one of the challenges had the people wearing white fountains on their heads sticking out of a whales blowhole as they drive the whales around a slippery path while being pelted with big black balls and sprays of water (the big,clumsy whales are actullay bikes in disguise) another had them jumping on top of the heads of styrofoam snowmen to get across to the other side of where they started.the snowmans heads are very round and can roll off if you don't step on them correctly.you have people going down watery slopes in giant red bowls and people hangin onto giant spinning mushrooms trying not to let it's spin throw them off,or trying to reach the top of a hill as people at the top release giant styrofoam "boulders" down to them.I was laughing harder than I've laughed in a very,very long time and I had a headache after it was over.It is a show that is worthy of peeing your pants over.If you're ever in the position to watch cable on a sunday afternoon I reccomened this program.Itll make you bust a gut.

I have zero interesting anecdotes as of late.That is the reason for my infrequent updates.If something amazing happens it will be posted but that kind of thing doesn't happen too often.
I bought a book at the "book mart" in Brandon (check it out,it's just up from the superstore it's very small and hard to see).It's my faveorite place to get books they're usually quite cheap and the store itself is just one of the most fun places in the entire world.If you go make sure to visit the basement.it's full of tight corridors and low ceilings.not to mention wall-to-wall books in the entire store.anyways,I bought "A Brief History of Time" by Stephen Hawking.In "Donnie Darko" prof.Monitoff hands this book to Donnie,So that's where I heard of it.It's a really excellent book and I'd encourage anybody with an inquisitive mind to check it out.It's written by a very smart man but he wrote it knowing that every equation written in the book would halve his readers so the only equation in the entirety of the book is E=MC2 (I'd love to make a little 2 but don't have the time to find out how) so you don't need to be a math-head to understand the book.It's written by someone who is obviously trying to find God,but it has a lot about the big bang theory but he treats it as just that,a theory.but I now understand how someone can believe it,I don't believe it but it makes sense to me how someone could......
Last night I had a nightmare,it creeps me out just thinking about it.I'm sure you've heard of the new lawsuits against Michael Jackson,well I heard about them yesterday so he shows up in my dreams (as if I weren't scared of him enough already)so he's on the news they'r talking about him and showing us photos of him and the last on is a police file photo of him with gore (blood and fleshy colours) all over him (like a rabbit expolded in his face) striking a pose and wearing a huge smile,definatly one of the scariest images I've seen in a very long time.anyways then they show a video of him dancing in his red bellboy suit from the 80's (whatever that suit is,it's red with gold buttons) and has he's dancing suddenly the flash the words "pool image,warning" (which i take to mean "police file image")at the bottom of the screen and while hes dancing he moves to do the very same pose and they show us the picture again (brilliant editing in my dreams) and a voice in my head wakes me up and I can't remember what the voice said,it sounded like a little girl.and so I'm awake shivering with flavour,shiver with flavour! (that's a Marshie statement hence the lack of sense) and the little grils voice ringing in my ears.but I fell asleep again and the image of michael jackson has faded somewhat.and will continue to do so over time.....

Okay,I have to quote of few more posters from the movie "Brazil".Throughout the movie you catch glimpses of large governmental poster with some of the goofiest slogans ever concieved I'd reccomened wathing the film if only to look for them and read them.....
Suspicion breeds confidence
Be safe-- be suspicious.
Be alert-- some terrorists look normal.
Don't suspect a friend-- report him.

"trust in haste,regret at leisure"
I just saw "Brazil" for the first time,that is one incredible movie.I wish I could explain the style of it to you.It's a terrifying movie filled with scary symbolism and warning to all of us humans and the government.But amidst the doomy atmosphere of the movie is some of the funniest comedy this side of dr.strangelove.It's a movie that would have given my nightmares wer eit not for the comic relief that is so funny I was forced to rewind certain parts a few times to re-watch them.You have the protagonists mother who becomes increasingly younger looking throughout the film due to her plastic surgery and her friend who disintergrates throughout the movie due to the "acid doctor" alos in hopes of looking younger,It's terrifying to see her become a gelatinous mess but in one scene where she is being pushed in wheelchair by her daughter through a lingerie store she says in a sing-songy voice to the main character as she lifts up a lacy piece "picture me in these" and it's at once disgusting but extremly funny because she's so lighthearted in the face of her imminent doom.There is another scene where the main charatcers are driving down a highway that has billboards pushed right up to it's shoulders and the billboards line the entirety of the highway so the people in the car don't even catch a glimpse of the scenery,It's one of the ugliest landscapes ever but it sure beats being bombarded with advertisments at every turn.There are many scenes like this,they make me laugh so hard but at the same time make me cringe at the irony of where the world has gone.It's the most depressing comedy I've ever seen leaving you happily hopeless at the end.You either laugh or cry if you see it.But,this movie had one of the most disturbing scenes I've ever been subjected to,so much so that I had to quit the movie and finish it the next morning even though I knew there was less than 10 minutes left to the movie.Be forewarned you'll never look at giant baby/dolly-masks the same.
