great quotes

“A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have
sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who
might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government”-George
Washington

“Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety
deserve neither Liberty nor Safety”-Benjamin Franklin

“When firearms go, all goes. We need them every hour.”-George Washington

“Americans have the right and advantage of being armed – unlike the citizens of
other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with
arms.”-James Madison

“When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government
fears the people, there is liberty. “-Thomas Jefferson

“The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms
is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in
government.”-Thomas Jefferson

“I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government
from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of
them.”-Thomas Jefferson

“No freeman shall be debarred the use of arms.”-Thomas Jefferson

“This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it.
Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise
their constitutional right of amending it, or their revolutionary right to
dismember or overthrow it.”-Abraham Lincoln

“A government that does not trust it’s law-abiding citizens to keep and bear
arms is itself unworthy of trust.”-James Madison

“Firearms stand next in importance to the constitution itself. They are the
American people’s liberty teeth and the keystone under independence… The rifle
and pistol are equally indispensable… The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere
and everywhere restrains evil interference – they deserve a place of honor with
all that is good.”-George Washington

gah megavideo is so lame

i hate the 72 minute cut off

i think when it comes to zazzle choosing their TBAs

they make the decision based on the following 3 questions -
a) what is the gayest design put out today?
b) what is the most disneyfied design put out today?
c) what is the lamest, cutesy, bullshit design put out today?

everyone in forums falls all over themselves to post a tba in show and tell and then every single zazzle pro seller has to give them props along the lines of "wow amazing just purely amazing the most beautiful image i've ever seen in my entire life. why, with an image like that, you could feed all the starving children, save the economy and cure cancer!!!!"

no, you can't cure cancer with that design, it's a chinsy butterfly-ey puppy dog-ey little baby-ey or cute kid-ey disney design, either that or it's a wedding invitation or stamp with some religious icon on it

fuck that

there are very very few tbas that are the best at anything. /end rant

I wonder

This image showed up in my state of Minnesota on a billboard somewhere outside the Twin Cities. It made the news and was reported all over. I frankly think it's hilarious. No, I don't miss him. But I wonder if it is copyright infringement for these people to take the same image and same slogan and put it up on bumper stickers and stuff? Probably not, the picture is public domain, and words are words, but what about intellectual copyrights? i don't really care, just wondering. Anyways, the image is rampant in zazzle, used by many many many many many many people.

Taste Studios

They got some great designs, but i especially like this one:

The Love Gun Poster

Cheries_Art

She has some pretty cool designs.

Fractal Stickers

PURPLE SPRING FLOWERS not a fan of all caps but whatever

White Brocade With Red Hearts Binder pretty fancy vector art

Cool Pirate T

This guy made a pretty funny shirt. Anything with a spork is most likely hilarious.

How To Become A Pirate

Attempts to be shocking

Well, he's got some good ones, but something about them... In fact, I think most of this stuff is stolen. But I like a few of them. Good job whoever you are.

We Be Clubbin'

Sloppy Seconds

Etch A Sketch

I'm on facebook way too much

wtf? i didn't even care about facebook a year ago. i didn't even get serious until like 4 or 5 months ago. but now i am addicted. i catch myself going there all the time, just searching for things to comment on, or posting things of my own.

i recently thought it would be funny for a skit if a person broke down crying because they had no friends on facebook. like they just started balling and kept saying over and over again "I have no friends.." and then "I only have 58 friends. This kitten has 2 million friends. this pickle has more fans than nickelback, and nickelback has 1 million friends, so not only does nickelback have more friends than me, but this pickle does to with 1.4 million friends, that's like 1.4 million more friends than i have"

I really thought that the Can this pickle get more friends than nickelback campaign was funny btw. good job whoever did that. the pics in their gallery all consist of the lead singer holding a pickle and other funny stuff. reminded me of 4chan pictures. I even made this: Quantum Pickle for them =P

Why? I Don't Know

This freaking guy got mentioned on the news and his shit just blew up. Maybe slowing down now but still i'm seeing 433 views today. This super hero obama stuff must be popular amongst 13-year-olds or something. frankly i think it looks like commercialized bullshit.

Homeland Security

speaking of commercialized bullshit, here's some of my obama stuff =P

Impeach Blue

Impeach Red

Impeach Transparent choose your own background color!

and 5 other colors.

Take his threats of joining the new world order and cap and trade tax (a tax on carbon, which is everything) for what they are - Threats. Doing either of these threatens the sovereignty of our nation, which is high treason according to a little thing called the constitution. Therefore, impeachment is necessary to remove this threat.

I'm not saying republicans are better. Enough with the duopoly bullshit. If somebody says something bad about the government, they must be a republican because a democrat is in office. wtf? there is no right, there is no left. they are all like best friends. sure, they fight up and down the isles in congress. but then they go out for drinks later that evening. the obama administration is just an extension of the bush administration. there will be no Change. this shit is going to keep going on and on and on. guess what - they're gonna do the same thing that they did with Bush to Obama on the next election. By 2012, everything will be so terrible that everyone will be hating on democrats, so a republican will get voted into office who promises all kinds of change. and the cycle will continue. no change. we need a new system.

to black people, or anyone, who plays the race card when somebody says something bad about obama - he's only about 10% black. He's mostly Arabian in heritage. so fuck off with that shit. could it be possible that naysayers dislike him because of his political agenda rather than his pigment?

they are on a huge domestic terrorism kick right now, trying to label free thinkers and 'conspiracy theorists' as terrorists. i guess because Stack flew his plane into the IRS building, now everyone who disapproves of the government is going to get a plane and fly it into a building. watch as they try to take our rights to bare arms and freedom of speech away over the next year. watch closely. watch as they try to regulate the internet - internet ID cards anyone? where you have to enter your ID info every time you log on. how about we just inject you with a RFID chip (a microscopic chip that was actually perfected in Japan last year), so we can keep track of everything you do and everywhere you go and record your personal life to great detail. How does that sound? We just want to keep you safe....

Star Wars

I guess I could be considered a big star wars fan. George Lucas is pretty brilliant, and deserves all the success he has. I wonder what kind of vices a guy like that has? what kind of addiction to what various thing would a guy who could afford anything he wants any time he wants have? food? fast cars? chocolate? beer? vintage pron? cocaine? mass orgies where everyone is dressed up as star wars characters? but all kidding aside, I also wish he would make more movies.

If you like Star Wars, check out this guy's gallery. Because he's the only guy on zazzle that has permission to make star wars products, and frankly that kinda sickens me (luckyyyyyyyy), but at the same time fills me with delight because this stuff is actually pretty awesome.
