Merry Christmas everyone!

Hey, just want to wish my friends all the very best today!

*~Merry Christmas ~*

And if you don’t celebrate Christmas, I wish you the very best of whatever brings you joy, love and peace this season.

Try and hold on the the magic and wonder you had as a child at this time and never let it go! That’s when the truly miraculous happens. Close your eyes, let go and just… believe. If even for a short time today. 😀

*PEACE*

Updated12/26/05 – Happy Hanukkah and Happy Kwanzaa to all my friends who celebrate this today. I also thank you from the bottom of my heart for you being kind enough to hold off your holiday this year until Christmas was over so Bill O’Reilly and his anti-semitic ass would have one less thing to bitch about with his “War On Christmas” hysteria. 🙂

Judge rules against ‘intelligent design’

‘Religious alternative’ to evolution cannot be taught in public school classes

HARRISBURG, Pa. – “Intelligent design” is “a religious alternative masquerading as a scientific theory” and cannot be mentioned in biology classes in a Pennsylvania public school district, a federal judge said Tuesday, ruling in one of the biggest courtroom clashes on evolution since the 1925 Scopes trial.

Dover Area School Board members violated the Constitution when they ordered that its biology curriculum must include the notion that life on Earth was produced by an unidentified intelligent cause, U.S. District Judge John E. Jones III said.

“We find that the secular purposes claimed by the Board amount to a pretext for the Board’s real purpose, which was to promote religion in the public school classroom,” he wrote in his 139-page opinion.

I’m sure all the atheists are jumping for joy right now. As a person who happens to believe in God AND Evolution, can I say something?

I wholeheartedly agree with this judge’s decision. This “Intelligent Design” garbage was merely a repackaged form of “Creationism”. It accepts the (two!) Biblical accounts of Creation without question, and with no scientific basis to back it up.

The Broken Lion

Years of captivity tried to break the once-proud lion.
But when he closed his eyes at night, he entered a world of his own making.
He was no longer in his cage as he blissfully dreamt.
He was home once more, happily ruling his kingdom in the warm sun, or he imagined his escape.

One night, by chance, his cage was opened.
As he wandered out to breathe free air once more, he realized it was too late for him.
His home, his friends and all his loved ones were long gone.
The cold steely city around him wasn’t freedom… it was merely a larger cage.

And he never felt as alone as he did that moment.

He bowed his head in sadness and resignation,
And found his place back in his cage with regal dignity
As he closed his eyes for the final time, and drifted off into oblivion…
… he was finally free at last.

Each day is a curse.
Freedom is merely a state of mind.

The Ultimate Super Model

Problem Adults Well, unless you have been living under a rock since May, you know that Problem Adults  is the place to be! Anyone who’s ANYONE is there (or been kicked out for one reason or another… we’re kinda picky and sorta snobby, you know.).

I said I wanted to bring back the Z-List, and I like to think I did, only bigger and badder. This time catering to more than just bloggers, we got designers, webhosts, 3d artists, famous rockstars, movie stars and more!

Plus a state-of-the-art arcade and chat rooms!

The Mighty ~T~ has been keeping everything running, the lovely and talented Raven and myself working on the “HOLI-DAZE” Christmas layout, Kate the Head Elf taking requests for letters from the North Pole, and well, MissD making the chat rooms sizzle, and Jeanna is just plain HOT!

We’re more than just a message board… we one big dysfunctional cyber-family!

So, speaking of the “HOLI-DAZE” layout, it needed some extra OOMPH. So I recruited my lovely cyber-sidekick and this site’s spokesmodel, Randi into the mix. Who else can ring in our grand Holiday celebration, besides the ULTIMATE Super Model? 😀

Randi Xxxmas

Gawd damn… is she HOT or what???

So I tried those penis-enlarging pills…

… and my pecker shrunk!

I’m afraid to take another one.

Spamming spammers and the spam that they spam me with

You know. Maybe if I didn’t spend hours cleaning up all the comment spam on this site, I’d actually have time to post something here for my tens of ones of fans here.

When you’ve had a blog since 1998 (oh yeah baby, a YEAR before Blogger came out, I’m ahead of my time!) you have a BONANZA of places to leave comments if you’re a spammer.

Oh, and by the way. I hate comments. I think they’re the WORST thing to happen to blogs. Instead of someone commenting on something I said here on THEIR blog (thereby their readers come here…) now, they come here comment and that’s that. Where’s the community now???

I’m noticing a trend. They seem to home in on select posts as obviously the spambots know it’s a safe place to leave their crap.

So now I lock each post as they come in. (HA HA! *Gives the spammers the finger in defiance*)
The spam is *already* dying down.

If there is anyone who knows how to beat ANYONE at their own game…
… it’s me. 😀

Yo, e… make a new post you bastard!

Wow. I didn’t post a damn thing in October, now did I?
Well, you know… I didn’t have anything worthwhile to say. Got comment spammers kicking my ass here and on the guestbook, and I’ve been spending most of my time behind the scenes cleaning their garbage up.

Chocolate season is upon us, and I’m now busy getting CB Gifts back up and running.

I think you already know most of my time is spent on Problem Adults. Lots of good people, lots of fun. It’s much like the lunacy here, only multiplied to the UMPTEENTH power by all the other personalities there.

Why you’re HERE reading THIS when you can be over THERE making a name for YOURSELF… I have no clue.

Goodbye to the old neighborhood

So what do you do when you check out your old Brooklyn neighborhood on Google earth and find out your home of 2 decades is gone? What was Eric Brooks like running around in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn 20 years ago? Who is the “Mystery Redhead” all over this site? Who did I hang out with? What became of “The Crew”?

Well… you just have to find out, don’t you?

A mini-series I ran, with cross-references to songs in our Jukebox (and lots of pics from the Eric Brooks Legacy Archives):

Goodbye 1303 Greene Avenue – Only in the Problem Adults “Wonderland Avenue” section. Where we look back and laugh at ourselves. (There’s also the long-awaited tale of my appearance on the Ricki Lake show in 1994.)

(Of course membership and certain security clearances are needed, PM me {Erox} and let me know.)

Who the hell is Buttom Mutton???

So I get the disturbing news in my guestbook the “Bad news everyone! I’m afraid that Buttom Mutton accidentally walked off the jetty and got drowned!”

I do a google seach and see some annoying dude posting “Hello,I’m button muttom!” over and over and fucking over.

Was that him?
I’m GLAD he’s dead then!

As the Rev’s says these days (on a similar, yet unrelated note)…
ANVILS AWAY
