Phoenix, AZ -- Senator and presumptive Republican Presidential nominee John McCain has rocked the political world by announcing his intention to bring his campaign to Nevada's Black Rock Desert this summer, during the counter-cultural art event known as Burning Man.
"While our opponents would callously ignore them, this proud American believes that even temporary cities deserve the attention of the President of the United States," said McCain senior staffer Mark Dosenberner. "We are proud that Black Rock City will be a stop on the 'Straight Talk Express' tour this summer."
Citing the compatibility of the Burning Man festival's "American Dream" art theme with his campaign's message of a bigger, stronger, somewhat-taller America, McCain hopes to reach out to the thousands of "Burners" who gather in the desert for this 7-day celebration of radical self-expression, radical self-reliance, community and art. "I look forward to engaging with the good folks of Black Rock City, and showing them not just by my words, but through my actions that deep down, despite all our glaringly stark differences, we share the same American Dream. No, seriously," said McCain, "... what's so funny? Did I make a joke?"
The candidate's research team has been briefing the Senator on the ways of the Burning Man participant, ensuring that McCain, renowned for his ability to "cut loose", will not be perceived as a so-called "newbie" or "yahoo", which could shatter his chances of garnering votes at this famed desert bacchanalia. straight talk expressMcCain's transportation team is working with his AV crew to retrofit the Senator's "Straight Talk Express" bus to accommodate the largest state-of-the-art speaker stacks ever seen at Burning Man, and will be parking the bus on the 2:00 radial street with other sound camps. "We're putting in a set of Technics SL-1200 turntables on the roof, and recruiting the hottest international Republican DJ's to work the wheels of steel," said Dosenberner. "The Senator looks forward to personally making grilled cheese sandwiches for revelers 'rolling in' from surrounding raves each night, and maybe taking a turn on the decks himself ... you should expect some slammin' big band favorites, should that happen."
"We're in this race to win," said McCain, a decorated war veteran, "and if it takes coming out to a place like Burning Man, and mixing with ... these ... people ... to do it, well ... I figure I've been held captive in a North Vietnamese POW camp ... how bad could this really be?"
McCain's campaign will be sending an advance team to ensure all necessary security measures are in place prior to the Senator's arrival. The team will visit the playa in May to thoroughly scour the vast desert expanse, searching for potential security risks. "The playa may be flat, but it certainly isn't without its dangers ... Americans know full well that terrorists are after each and every one of us ... and don't be fooled: expansive, desolate places like the Black Rock Desert are as much a target as our homes, schools, churches, malls and SUV's. We must stay vigilant at all times," said Dosenberner.
The Burning Man Project has been fully cooperating with the McCain campaign, ensuring that every possible security step will be taken to ensure the Senator's safety while in Black Rock City. "Let's see ... I think we've got some caution tape around here somewhere," said Burning Man founder Larry Harvey. "Oh yeah, here it is."

My Space
People have asked me if I have a MySpace account. Well, this is my thought on the whole My Space thing.
My Space is like Spencer's Gifts. Every mall has one. There are times when you are fascinated to the point that you just have to go inside and see what is going on with all the bright and flashy items. However, when you get inside, all you see is a garish, loud, disorganized collection of cheap and gaudy and trashy baubles that you would never have any thought of buying. Well, that is exactly what My Space is. Nothing more than disorganized and pretentious pages. Not like this page, created by a talented person who has the old-school mentality that states the coding must be done by hand and be organized just right. And the people on My Space. Just a bunch of whiny mental midgets who have no clue what is going on around them or have any thoughts other than themselves. No, my spacers are self-centered and care nothing for others in this world. So, no, I would never join a community like My Space. Besides, the customization features really suck.

I Have This...REALLY!!!
from Fox News
If you think it’s impossible to have sex while you sleep, think again, according to a new study.
There are at least 11 different sex-related sleep disorders, collectively referred to as “sexsomnia” or “sleepsex,” that affect people who are otherwise psychologically healthy — causing them to unknowingly engage in various sexual activities during the night.
Carlos Schenck, a psychiatrist at the Minnesota Regional Sleep Disorders Center, and his colleagues have studied a number of behavioral disorders associated with sleep.
“Any basic instinct can come out in the context of sleep,” Schenck told LiveScience. “All sorts of things can happen.”
Recently, he and his colleagues turned their focus to sex-related sleep disorders. They conducted computerized medical literature searches for studies published between 1950 and 2006 related to sleep and sexual behavior and looked through a number of sleep medicine textbooks. They also analyzed data from a previously completed internet survey that had gathered data from 219 people, 92 percent of whom had experienced multiple “sexsomnia” episodes.
Among other things, they found that people — mostly men — sometimes masturbate, initiate sex with a partner and reach orgasm during sleep. They usually have no memory of these activities when they wake up, learning about them only if a partner or roommate tells them. Some of these activities can also have legal consequences, such as if someone initiates sex without a bed partner’s consent, noted Schenck.
People are at-risk for developing sex-related sleep disorders when they also tend to suffer from other sleep disorders — such as sleepwalking or sleep terrors, according to Schenck. “Sexsomnia doesn’t come out of nowhere,” he said. But “for whatever reason, sexual behaviors become part of the repertoire.”
While people might feel ashamed to learn from their partners that they are exhibiting these behaviors while they sleep, these disorders are not indicative of psychological problems, noted Schenck, whose recently published book, Sleep: The Mysteries, The Problems, and The Solutions, has a chapter devoted to sex-related problems. “Bizarre and inappropriate behavior during sleep does not necessarily reflect a daytime psychological problem.”
And “sexsomnia” disorders are easily treated with medication, he added.
If anything, people who become aware of their problem but don’t seek help put themselves at an even greater risk. “The longer you go with this problem without getting it treated, the more you can then develop a secondary psychological problem,” such as depression, said Schenck, whose study is published this week in the journal Sleep.
My ex girlfriends (as well as my current one) always claimed that we fucked in the middle of the night. However, there were several occasions where i didn't remember it. Damn, I'm really fucked up, aren't I???

[Listening to: John Legend - "Where Did My Baby Go?"]
Happy Birthday To Me!!
Damn...I'm 32? How did that happen? Just the other day, I think I was attending Temple University Nursing and getting a tattoo on my 22 year old arm. Shit...I'm old. At least I'm not as old as co-writer KenDaFlashGuru...HAHAHAHAHAHHA
What happened on this day? Well...if you're talking right this minute, Apple announced the ABSOFUCKINGBEAUTIFUL iPhone. What a decade for Apple...if only I bought stock in them instead of getting a tattoo on my arm that day...pre-iPod...pre-OSX...pre-Mac Pro...pre-iMac. I think I'm going to be sick...
Let's see...a year ago...Howard Stern began his show to Sirius. Sirius listenership increased by 1000%. Yes...a THOUSAND percent.
185 years ago on this date, the Portuguese prince Pedro I of Brazil decides to stay in Brazil against the orders of the Portuguese king João VI, starting the Brazilian independence process. Without Prince Pete's act of defiance, we would never have this...
I was looking at King Britt's myspace bulletin. King Britt is probably most famous for being the Digable Planets' tour DJ. He is also a very accomplished solo artist, producer, and remixer. King Britt went to Burning Man this year. When he came back to the "fake world" (think Matrix), he had these thoughts...
This was my first year of Burning Man. Let me tell you. A life changing metamorphasis. To be in an environment of likeminded artists and individuals, where there is NO Money exchanging hands, camping in the desert with your comrades, music every night and visuals that make you feel you are def on another planet. I felt so alive and so inspired to do even better than i have. I rediscovered my purpose in this world. Thats to prepare us for the next. I cant really show pics from The Burn....but here are some personal ones....
do I see Andrizzay and JewBoy???
These were my thoughts exactly after my first burn in 2005. I look forward to Burning Man next year.
