So I was reading the paper today, and it disgusts me. even through I only bought it to look at the rent section I ended up sitting down and reading through the whole thing.

chemical intervention

“Uniform hybrid species
For fresh-looking pest-proof food
An apple can sit on the shelf for years
When we irradiate the molecules

But where did the nutrition go?
And what’s taken it’s place?
Slipshod tampering with science
Out of control factory farm eugenics

Slaughterhouses in lowa
Filled with tumor-infested cows
Failed experiments hidden ‘til sold
To your local school lunch program

Grade D, but edible
Our food, our life, our attitude
Suffocating in what we refuse to recycle
Time bombs fester in every town

Billions of dollars spent every year
Searching for a cure for cancer
Why not spend that money instead
To wipe out pollution that causes the cancer”

Jello Biafra and NoMeansNo - Too Many Sharks in the Gene Pool (1991)

Greet lyrics, great band.

Set Your Goals
Look Closer lyrics

[Robot voice]: We are intent only on our own gain.

Tune in and avert your eyes to the blank telescreen.
GO!
They’re watching you sleep.
Telling you to eat, for it could be soil and green.

Now, now, now, look away and go back to bed.
They will get what they need.
Will we sleep, work, and play?
When we consume and obey.

Cuz we are all born into a control mindset.
God/money makes a death threat on ethics.
Governed by greed and a fail routine.
Can we just justify the means if we’re plugged in
We all to wake up cuz we’ve been detached for too long.
We need to deprogram from
Shifting with the public eye.
We have a right to question why.
See through the lies.
Re-sensitize. And look closer.

Kids, school. Get married and beyond.
Start a family. Hurry, move along.
You might start to think with a different mood.
These are only mine that you’ve never used anyway.

Walk on the white line.
Brainwashed!
Walk on the same side.
Play dead!
It’s secure and safe like. You need it all…

To be plugged in
We all to wake up cuz we’ve been detached for too long.
We need to deprogram from shifting with the public eye.
We have a right to question why.
See through the lies.
Re-sensitize. And look closer.
And look closer in!

NIGHTMARE! Wide awake, fully aware.
WE SLEEP! On a quest to find out where.
NIGHTMARE! The dream turned into a scare.
WE SLEEP! A fascinating new nightmare.
NIGHTMARE! And wide awake, fully aware.
WE SLEEP! On a quest to find out where.
NIGHTMARE! The dreamed turned into a scare.
WE SLEEP! A fascinating new nightmare.
NIGHTMARES!

Walk on the white line.
Brainwashed!
And walk on the same side.
Play dead!
It’s secure and safe like. You need it all.

They want benign complacency.

THIS IS WHERE WE’VE GOT TO LOOK CLOSER!

Plugged in, tuned out. Wake up!
Plugged in, tuned out. Wake up!
Plugged in, tuned out.
We all to wake up cuz we’ve been detached for too long.
Need to deprogram from
Shifting with the public eye.
We have a right to question why.
See through the lies.
Re-sensitize. And look closer.
Now, now, look closer.

The space that they just can't touch

You're a zombie!

IOWA CITY, Iowa — Iowa City police are investigating an early morning assault in which a man accused another of being a zombie, then punched him twice.

Police say the assault occurred at 1:17 a.m. Sunday at an Iowa City restaurant south of the University of Iowa campus.

A man was ordering food when he was approached by another man who called him a zombie, then hit him in the eye. When the victim tried to call police on his cell phone, the man punched him again, breaking his nose.

The man then ran out a back door.

Saturday night was epic!

The night started out with two good friends of mine, Micheal and Kev. Pre-drinks at Kev’s, he had enough alcohol to last the night and even then we got more (albeit because we didn’t want to drink red label.)

Micheal and Kev where pretty much gone by the time Jess came to pick us up. Micheal was ahead of me and Kev by 2-3 drinks. we embarked on the long drive to the city.. 10 mins in Micheal forgot his wallet so of course we went back. The second problem is Kevin not holding his liqueur and vomiting twice..IT’S CALLED PRE-DRINKS FOR A REASON. So little Kev left as soon as we got there.
