PETA video
http://www.kentuckyfriedcruelty.com/c-videos.asp
Ok, animal welfare is a good thing. Obvious point.
PETA's 'celebrity endorsement' video is not helping. Watch the top video on that page. All these 'cool' bands like Scary Kids Scaring Kids and Thursday, as well as the Street Drum Corps, which may include the most stupid individuals on the planet, manage to set back the whole idea of animal welfare through their inane, misinformed arrogant posturing.
Todays average person, like myself, although unfortunately kept in the dark, is not completely without the ability to take in and analyze facts. "Fuck you KFC" is not gonna cut it anymore. Especially not from some teeny pop pretentious conglomeration of the eyeliner brigade. Give us some credit, please.
Also, starting an argument with "If you knew the amount of chemicals", well I don't, so tell me. Oh wait, you don't know either, so you can't. Great. So I should just take your word for it?
My personal favorite is the guy from Hawthorne Heights (I believe) who is so obviously reading the script of a cue card it's painful.
The ironic thing, is that both Jenna Jameson and Pamela Andersons videos are far more convincing than the so-called 'political' or 'social-conscious' bands of today.

Hagakure Quote 1
Master Ittei said, "In calligraphy it is progress when the paper, brush and ink are in harmony." Yet they are so wont to be disjointed!
- How goddamn true.
- How goddamn true.
Gwah.
Apologies for the tragic state of affairs in the last post. The formatting for this blog still eludes me. Anyhow, I thought I would add some personal stuff on here, to make it seem that I have actually got something going on in my life.
So.
A few of us went out last night to Firebug, a merry band of illustrative folk that comprises of myself, Rich, Will and his music producing housemate Tom. We drank rum and quite a few pitchers of some cocktail called Cuba Libre, which is Spanish for FREE CUBA! Yeah, we were fighting the indulgent, decadent west with every sip.
Aside from finding out exactly how powerful CL is, and discovering that we know collectively very little about the general affairs of todays popstars and media types courtesy of the music quiz that night (which, by the way, we came third, under the awesome banner of the Sons of Disaster), I also discover I have a depleted range of 'moves'. Despite having plenty of opportunity to put the ol' charm on a certain lady, the best I could do was to return a smile from across the bar. It was not a question of nerves, believe it or not, I literally could not think of what to do next.
Which lead to me realising how much time I spend either chained to the drawing boards at the studio or at home, or......well I'm not sure I do anything else at the moment.
Other than that though, a good time was had by all, and, for the record, Cuba Libre is a lot more potent than they make it out to be.

Project X, otherwise known as bizarro world.
Yo, so I just got back from Birmingham, and I stink of both incense and applause. Heh, we rocked the house. For those of you who might have seen us, you'll agree i'm sure. Anyway. I'm trying to update frequently, so that by the time someone actually reads my blog, then there will be stuff to read.
Helloween
I went out. As a We'rewolf. It's like a werewolf, but more metal. The day after Halloween.
A Belated Metal We'rewolf.
