This might be the best game ever.

So how far can you go?

My best is 17.1 meters, mostly while doing a retarded split and hopping on one knee. The game would be easier if I could stop laughing.

can’t wait for the movie

The race is off! In the foreground, 43 mighty race cars thunder by as “The King” himself, Richard Petty, waves the green flag for the start of the 50th Running of the DAYTONA 500®. As I paint furiously, the electricity and spectacle of the moment is almost overwhelming.

    In my Studio Masterwork release of the “Great American Race” I intend to capture the power of the starting moment, while honoring this one-of-a-kind NASCAR® event.

    I have always believed that a painting can capture the pageantry and energy of historic events like no other medium, and my goal as I painted NASCAR® THUNDER The 50th Running of the DAYTONA 500® was to document this classic event for race fans everywhere.

Old gloom gloom

From the Danto book I’ve been reading when I can. Facebeard, there are chapters on Giacometti, Norman Rockwell, and Barnett Newman I will scan and send to you. I’m liking Danto quite a bit (A2M) now that I’m not expecting him to answer all the big questions.

“Recall that after Schubert’s death, his brother cut some of Schubert’s scores into small pieces, and gave each piece, consisting of a few bars, to his favorite pupils. And this act, as a sign of piety, is just as understandable as the different one of keeping the scores untouched, accessible to no one. And if Schubert’s brother had burned the scores, that too would be understandable as an act of piety.” -Ludwig Wittgenstein

Second Life is the lamest thing that has ever existed.

Seriously. And I have spent a lot of time on the computer doing lame shit.
Wow.
Facebeard, if you spend a couple hours on Second Life, I guarantee that you will be overcome by giant rage and nothing will be spared.
Wow.

Ok. I am going to ride the girl bike down to the store now and buy some beer.
Happy Friday!
SPOOGETE!

And, yes, that is a penis at the base of a cross. You’d think that would be cool, but it’s not.

My pretty, pretty pinhead.

As an assignenment for one of the classes I’m in, we had to create an avitar in Second Life. I was a little scared at first because of past experiences with MUSHes and MUDs. Of course, that was before I created him/her. S/he is so beautiful. It is a perfect representation of me in the virtual world. No description on a MUSH could come close.

ph6

Probably about 4 feet of hot!

ph5

I knew that when I was able to slope the forhead and drop the chin, my avitar was as good as done.

ph4

So perfect.

ph3

It’s that sly, come hither stare….

ph2

This is a shot of him/her pretending s/he not being watched.

ph1

His/her name is Lowercase Jigsaw. I think we should get an entire pinhead army together in second life. If I have to doodle around in there for a class, we might as well make it fun. We could get a pinhead army and a prirate ship… it would be awesome. I wasn’t lucky enough to be a pinhead pirate in my first life, let’s make it happen in my second.

Are you a reader?

If so, here’s a bit of wisdom for the day:

Obedience is not a mere outward compliance, but the service of love.

Prosletyzing

I was interrupted this afternoon from my intense screwing around on Bible Fight. The doorbell rang and I went to answer it. I was wearing only pajama bottoms and look as hungover as I feel.
It was an eager little guy with an armful of books and it went something like this:
Me: Hi.
Guy: Hello, I’m in your neighborhood today sharing some materials with people. Are you a reader?
Me: Sure. So, you’re prosletyzing?
Guy: Yes- what do you like to read? I have a book here about history.
Me: Ok. (he hands me the book and I scan through and see that every paragraph starts with some sort of historical story and ends with some wisdom about God and Jesus) So you’re giving these out?
Guy: No, I’m asking for a donation.
Me: Well, I’m not going to give you any money.
Guy: If you’re not interested in these books, your neighbors have made donations of a few dollars.
Me: I’m not going to give you money. What else do you have?
Guy: Well, if you don’t want to donate, I can give you this pamphlet to read.
Me: Great. I’ll read it. Good luck.

So, I’m proud of myself because I normally don’t answer the door and when I do, I let these pests go on and on, and then I feel bad later because I wasn’t being honest with them because I didn’t want to be rude.

I think I might start answering the door from now on and inviting these folks in to have a talk.

Bible Fight!

This is a magical game….it is going to make me spend too much time screwing around today.
My first round, I was Jesus, and Noah whooped my ass with his special animal trample attack.
