I am a Channel Sales Manager at Webtrends. I am 30, happily married + living in Portland, Oregon. I don't have many reasons for keeping this blog. I tend to talk about emerging web culture + how ridiculous the media is but the majority of this site consists of stuff that makes me smile. find archives here

I am dedicated to shedding the fear of all the things included in the system of control. Know that I will always post, so please come back or subscribe to my rss feed. Feel free to leave a comment + not be an asshole. Relax, none of this means a thing.
If you want to contact me, leave a comment + I may or may not get back to you. It is what it is. Oh yeah, I am not a copywriter so please excuse mispellsings.

mind control through movies

Posted: August 31, 2010

if you are sensitive to violence then this is hard to watch. but it is straight up fucking profound. the most basic form of mind control is repetition. everything is predestined and they use us. i am slowly peeling myself away from media. it hasn’t been easy. i started 5 months ago with video games.

born free

Posted: April 28, 2010
