When Hatebreed’s management called us to push the interview time forward, and then pretty much fucked it off without a phone call back, Dallas and I were left with only one option:

I can’t remember the last time I built a fort, but it probably was not nearly as epic as this particular fort. The best part about it, though, was the fact that we built it right in the office’s entry-way, and every person who came in had to climb over the cushion-less couch.

Our CEO Bill Fishkin:

Armed For Apocalypse drummer Nick Harris:

Synthesis Editor and Candy Apple frontman Jacob Sprecher:

The list goes on. Me, I would have just knocked the stupid thing over. Luckily, the rest of the office fears my wrath, and nothing would stir my wrath more than knockin over my fucking badass fort. See the front? It has gun turrets! Halliburton could learn a thing or two here.

UPDATE: Hatebreed just fucked off the second interview time (rescheduled for 8:00, fingers crossed). In the meantime, blueprints to rebuild the fort are quickly being drawn up. Emerald City look out.

UPDATE #2: Jamey from Hatebreed is way nice. My new fort is even nicer.

Yes - I know the latest Mariah Carey release is yet another sign of the apocalypse. Want another sign? Watch little miss top heavy in her Good Morning America performance (it looks like her clown boobs almost made her fall down the stairs). It starts awkward and just continues to get worse.

I liked her better when she was crazy

Please somebody make it stop.

2007 isn’t even over yet, but it would be pretty damn hard for anybody else to create a science-fiction as immersible as what I am about to share with you! But first, I’m going to rant the apparent differences between Commercial and Independent media. (skip the next paragraph if you don’t care).

Traditional television and it’s disruptive, incoherent nature have been miserably failing to the likes of ‘user generated’ video media. It would be my (presumptuous?) assumption that people are simply tired of reality television shows, sitcom’s repetitive story-lines and sugar-coated premises with no present-day relevance; besides the fear factor. Nothing too surprising, the commercialism that fuels it’s creation has diluted it’s quality. While in the inter-world, YouTube offers user-generated content that cannot be persuaded by profit.

‘Afterworld.tv,’ is a prime example of this tantalizingness we know and love as ‘Independent Media.’ It is an on-going Cross-Platform Science-Fiction Internet Series that took off with a quiet bang early 2007. Took me 8 months to stumble-upon this Sci-Fi series, but only 3 hours, 30 cups of Maté and a lot of ‘wow’ factor to zip through all 53 episodes (and rising). Every second I was on the edge of my seat, intensely involved and interested in it’s mind-blowing take on the end of the world. If you are like me, and delve into the end-of-the-world type sci-fi, this is right up your dark alley!

Each episode of Afterworld is 3-5 minutes long. Each one a tastefully and masterfully digitally animated wonder manufactured to leave you hanging from a 1000 foot cliff; every damn time. The creators release a new episode daily, Monday through Friday, with a recap video every Saturday.

A little background on ‘Afterworld:’ Afterworld is a premise based on the life of a man named Russel Shoemaker from Seattle. Russ takes a business trip to New York, one that is supposed to change his family’s financial life forever. Radical change was in his future, but not the way he expected. Upon waking up in his 4 star hotel room and making a trip to the lobby, he was shocked when there was nobody around. It didn’t take this frightened city-slicker long to figure out an unknown and very mysterious event had occurred which resulted in the disappearance of 99% of the population, and the extinction of technology and electricity. At first Russ is scared and lost, without a plan. But as time goes on, he finds other ’survivors’ and learns more about his own humanity. His decision to make a 3000 mile voyage back Seattle to reunite with his family comes quickly; and this ill-planned voyage becomes a discovery of the truth, accompanied by a plethora of clues that obscurely outline the cause of ‘The Fall.’

Watch the very first episode below, you’ll be hooked like a heroine addict. (minus the track marks) fish. (that was bad)

Remember, new episode shorts are released Monday-Friday! (I just watched episode 54, can’t wait for 55!!!!)

Apparently, the Denver International Airport is not just a big ass airport. Depending on who you ask, it’s also a centerpiece of Masonic plans for a new world order; the facade of a vast underground lair housing human slaves, a race of reptile overlords or an Ark-like safe haven for the chosen few to be used during the forthcoming apocalypse; or just another purposely cryptic propaganda tool used to divert people’s attention from more mundane, but no less terrifying, corporate/government schemes. All things being equal, I’m gonna pull for the Reptile Overlords one. Anyway, you should watch this video, to learn more about the seemingly bizarre things cracking at DIA:

Not everyone’s convinced though. And, I’ll admit, some of that shit sounds zany. But even the biggest skeptic has to admit that some of the shit at Denver International is a little bizarre. Such as:

The Masonic Capstone in the airport’s “Great Hall” (a term also used by Masons to reference their lodges) that was dedicated by the New World Airports Commission, and features some supremely alienesque artwork

As shown in depth in the video above, some of the artwork at the airport is a little on the “dark” side, showing among other things, a gas masked, “Nazi” type soldier standing in the foreground of a destroyed, burning city surrounded by women holding dead babies

Dead children in coffins, including a Jewish girl with a star of David on her chest, holding a bible and shamrocks

And even Quetzalcoatl makes a surprise appearance. 2012 anyone? Someone call Daniel Pinchbeck ASAP
