“I possess the artistic impulse, which depends, first, on a capacity to destroy and, second, on a desire to create. To create is to exercise power over oneself and over one’s environment. I wish to leave evidence that I existed, that I affected the world in some way. Even a doodle says, “I was,” and, “I made this.” You can choose to be a doctor, but you can’t choose to want to be a doctor. I could be a doctor and help people, but I would be miserable. I want to make things. I want the power to destroy and to create. I’m the Devil.”

I just watched a crappy little British flick called Rise of the Footsoldier. Imagine Goodfellas with an East London accent. And bad acting. And bad production. And WIGS! Lots and lots of wigs. Bad wigs. I admit that I chose this movie based only on the poster. It’s a very thin story about some wannabe criminal who goes from being a football hooligan to nasty-tempered doorman to king of the underworld. Well not quite. I don’t think he made it all the way to the top. Actually, I’m not sure what happened in the end. I was too distracted by all the bad hairpieces. Instead of wasting your time reviewing a movie that I didn’t like and barely remember, let’s just have a look at the wigs in all their fuzzy glory…
Yes, all of these wigs starred in the same movie! Here is a selection of comments from IMDB:
“Stupid movie for the really dumb”
“OMG …what a horrible horrible movie …”
“It gave me nightmares”
“The most unpleasant 114 mins of my life”
and my personal favo(u)rite:
“If you like wigs…you’ll LOVE this movie”
Nuff said.

JP
To all the geeks out there, I would like to officially announce that as of today (Jan 28, 2009) I am try to rank for the term JP, eventually becoming #1 in Google. Why JP? Why not. It’s not difficult to hold the #1 spot for “john pash“. I don’t think there is much competition there. But for JP I’ll be competition with JP Morgan and the entire country for Japan. You might have heard of them. So to kick off this useless test of nerdy nonsense… JP JP JP JP JP JP JP JP JP JP JP JP JP JP JP JP and JP
Apple Logo
Finally there is proof of something that I have always known, but didn’t have the to take the time to study myself. (All the hiring of lab assistants and the shaving of monkeys.) It’s very time consuming, and I’m a busy person – as you can surely tell by the frequency and quality of my writing.
According to a new study, people become more creative when exposed to the Apple logo. Weird, huh? I’m not making this up. Not only that, but just looking at the logo makes you happier! Conversely, when exposed to the IBM logo people have a feeling of despair and ennui and subsequently try to commit suicide. OK, I made up that last part. Have a listen to the NPR clip below and make up your own mind.

What makes ME happy is writing comments on teh internets that inflame PC users, republicans and $cientologist$. The PC lot are a miserable bunch though. Always complaining about viruses and reinstalling their operating systems. Maybe if they all slapped a Apple stickers on their monitors they would be much happier and creative while trying their data….
