Words are worth a thousand pictures

Why do I love Google Adwords so? Because I love words and adwords is a place where words are worth a lot more than pictures. Or at least they are more expensive than pictures. That’s why.

Also this:

In a series of emails through Gmail, Jeremy and I were discussing Buddhist Koans and the sponsored link was for top secret training. I had no choice but to click on it. Here is a wonderful snippet:

Only Because Of A Military Legal Loophole Can I Reveal The Terrifying ‘Decide-Dominate-And-Destroy’ Shocking Fighting Secret Banned By Congress That Can Transform ANY MAN (Or Woman) Into A Walking, Breathing Weapon Of Mass Destruction

I appreciate the capitalizing of every word, kind of like a title, but every single word is capitalized even ‘a’: like they are kicking you in the face.

I also love flickr where pictures are worth less, or are at least less expensive than words.

Glass menagerie

I once wrote a screenplay about a boy’s fixation with Harry Potter and the Lord of the Rings but I didn’t finish it beacause I didn’t really know how to end it. But the main theme came from an idea out of the Glass Menagerie: The conquest of reality by illusion as a growing aspect of the human condition. In the screenplay the boy’s parents are killed in front of him and he turns to the world of fantasy to help him to forget. I think everyone does this in a way, or movies and reality TV would not exist. I am counting on their existence for one day I hope people will come watch my movies to help them forget.

Politics is a very cruel way of wresting people from that reality. Cruel in the fact that it imposes another a very different illusion that appears to be reality. This attachment to political values prevents many people from perceiving truths about thier own lives. They cannot accept that life should be anything else than what they are brought up to believe.

Eating dogs

I don’t condone eating dogs. Although they could be delicious. Many animals are. But I don’t think eating one makes someone the worst person in the world as Keith Olbermann would say about Prince Henrik.

If someone has a propensity for a certain type of meat, let them eat it, as long as it’s not your dog. Everyone should be entitled to their opinion on food and no one should be forced to eat anything especially a pet goat.
