I’m a big BIG fan of the Amazing Race. Even though Meghan and Cheyne were from my home town of San Diego, I sometimes could NOT stand them. However, you have to respect their game. They were UNSTOPPABLE. They definitely deserved to win over the other two loser teams: The Gay Bros(whatever… HAD to be fake) and the Miss America/Mr. White Dude married to Miss America(they were constantly arguing at first. They kind of grew on me but I liked the Globetrotters and the Father/Son team better.) Oh well, maybe next time, *I’ll* go on the show. You want to be my team mate? If we wind up in Amsterdam, I could show you the sites as it were… Hmm, probably won’t win that way but we’ll be sure to have a goooood time!

Tear Down This Wall! Fall of Berlin Wall 20 Years Later.

Posted by dab0neman on November 10th, 2009

President Reagan said it right. It took some huge “balons” to say something like that to the USSR in the late 1980’s but who cared? We all knew we were going to die in a big nuclear ball of flame so daring the Russians to make peace, or else, wasn’t such a big gamble. I remember telling one of my German friends that we would see the Berlin Wall come down.

He looked at me as a man that had been through the worst of the Nazi era and the Soviet eras would: What did I know? I was just a dumb MTV kid. It was an arrogant thing on my part to say such a thing. People had been dying trying to cross that thing for decades and there just wasn’t any way in hell that the Soviets would let go of such a prize as East Germany and Berlin. Luckily for Germany, my stupid 20 year old ass was right. Here’s how it went down at the first gate:

Typhoon Ketsana/Ondoy Videos from the Philippines

Posted by dab0neman on October 9th, 2009

I’ve been praising the Filipino Rock Music scene here lately and have really gotten into its beautiful sounds. When I heard and saw the destruction from Ketsana/Ondoy, I was greatly saddened. Here’s a few videos from just normal folks that hit it home how lucky some of us are to live where we live.

This one shows cars being swept away and a person on top of one. Others are desperately trying to save her but have no really good ideas on how:

This video overlooks a large neighborhood next to an over-flooded river that was pretty much wiped out. People are stranded on top of their shacks waiting for help that probably isn’t coming. Remember that the Philippines is a poor country and niceties like emergency help are luxuries:

Here people are just doing their best to try to get through the day. It’s amazing to think that they are just going to tough it out no matter what. In the end, I guess that’s just what you have to do during a tragedy as there’s no time to bitch about anything. Just go on with the business of trying to live on no matter what.
