Barack Obama’s Iowa Victory Speech

So much for the good, well, the great news. The bad news? Mike Huckabee won the republican caucus, what a joke!

It Just Is

Take care, philosophical thoughts just below.

If there ever is more than nothing, then it’s impossible that there ever was nothing. And I’m really talking about nothing here, real nothing, a nothing that does’nt contain anything, not even a set of rules that would make anything else than nothing possible.

Because we’re here, there was never nothing, never a beginning of everything, it’s simple not possible. There may be a beginning of what we call our universe, but there was never a beginning for whatever made our universe possible.

So in other words, it’s actually the case that something exists without being created by something, by a god or some other set of rules. It just is. God or some other “more logical”, scientific explanation isn’t needed in this equation.

Now of course this does’nt rule out a god completely, it’s possible that the first thing that just was, was this god. Now how likely is that? Looking at the world you would say that things never start at the most complex form, they evolve over time, but as with that non-nothing, it could just be, if anything can just be, really anything can just be, even something extremly unlikely as a god. If the most fundamental thing just is, than it could very well be that what we call god just is, nothing rules that out (or he did just evolve into that almighty being).

Now I really don’t say that god is a reality, but it isn’t as unlikely as some people like Dawkins may believe. It really is possible, as unlikely as a non-nothing, but as that non-nothing actually exists, maybe the same is true for god as well.

What hands can do …

This commercial for the Volkswagen Phaeton is definitely a must see. Isn’t shadowplay a great thing?

Self-Cleaning Toilet

Watch out for this kind of toilets, they are very, very dangerous … well, at least for the cocaine addicts out there, you’ve been warned! Hey, or maybe you just have to learn being faster with the powder up your nose routine, I’m sure that’s possible, just practice.

One huge whirlpool!

Lesson 1: Never drill a hole into a see if there’s a salt mine below.

Lesson 2: If you need more fish, drill a hole into a see above a salt mine.

Lesson 3: Multiple lessons can be contradictory.

The RIAA wants to kill mixtapes!

Ok, RIAA listen! Stop it! Mixtapes are an important part of music culture, especially if we’re talking about hip-hop. If you kill mixtapes, it’s like you cut an arm and a leg from the one feeding you. Have a look what just happened:

Now DJ Drama is yet another symbol of the music industry’s turmoil and confusion.

On Tuesday night he was arrested with Don Cannon, a protégé. The police, working with the Recording Industry Association of America, raided his office, at 147 Walker Street in Atlanta. The association makes no distinction between counterfeit CDs and unlicensed compilations like those that DJ Drama is known for. So the police confiscated 81,000 discs, four vehicles, recording gear, and “other assets that are proceeds of a pattern of illegal activity,” said Chief Jeffrey C. Baker, from the Morrow, Ga., police department, which participated in the raid.

Well, I see your problem, there’s someone making money and it’s not you. But listen, it can never ever be you alone making money with music, that’s an utopian vision, nothing more. Even worse, by killing mixtapes, you more or less kill the foundation of one of your most profitable genres, hip-hop and rap. Is that really what you want? No? There you have it! Get a brain and stop acting like some rich, brainless retards, seriously!
