how well do you know dia?

mr. diggles — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 22:06:11 +0000

trust me, not as well as you think and not as well as you should. denver international airport is wack. the amount of weird shit in this video is alarming. all of the facts the lady is rambling off are the kind of facts that you have never cared about in an airport. but for some reason they felt the need to share them. note: even if you are not into this, please watch the end of the video. it is bizarre (4:15).

let’s make a list of shit they point out in this video. shall we?

4 busiest airports in the nation could fit inside DIA. 53 SQ miles
can double it’s size.
big and tough (?) largest in the world can handle and type of commercial airliner.
12 Million SQ Feet of concrete.
largest solar farm at a commercial airport.
mustang “gives one heck of a howdy to arriving guests” – made by an, unnamed, internationally renowned artist who died in an accident while working on the piece – don’t worry, the terrifying horse’s red eyes ward off evil spirits and will keep us all safe. – read more here about the strangeness and public opinion of the statue – ny times
“If your not in the terminal or on the concourses, where else would you be?” – (4mins 15seconds) – this is where it gets weird.
“Rest assured this theory is a myth, besides if it were true geraldo rivera would have sniffed it out…”
click here to view DIA on wikipedia – where more weird stuff is covered.

to make things even weirder the video was posted by the airport on youtube and they decided to go ahead and put it up on september 11th 2008 (they couldn’t wait a day?). click here to check it out

digging around i found another cool website that covers the anomalies of the airport pointing out a few things i never noticed. the most impactful was the snake shape at the base of the swastika:

and to go a little further, in the center of the snake head if you zoom in on google maps you will see a pyramid. just doesn’t get any better than thissss.

this is not my first time talking about the denver airport. i highly encourage you to dig into this if you can put lady gaga and the la raiders to the side for a moment. it is the real deal. e v i l shit folks. the new world airport commission – is there a degree for that?

click here for my past post on dia

again, i know people think i am nuts but it is kind of interesting how all of this fits so nicely together. even their fucking “welcome to dia” video is wack.

godspeed people.

currently in kitchener ontario canada

mr. diggles — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 19:15:43 +0000

yes i am in canada with tracy’s family. it is snowing and it is cold. i love it.

i am going to continue to blog since i have a connection and i have time. kitchener is right next to waterloo which is where rim is located – they are the company that invented the crackberry. tiight1!!

anyways, there is my update. more to come.

still at the coast

mr. diggles — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 00:14:36 +0000

tracy and i decided to stay another day. hitting the ground running tuesday morning. being addicted to time lapses, we put together this little video on our way out. it has been beautiful out here.

btw, did i mention i got a new machine? can’t wait to share. working on naming it for the time being. dorky yes…

portland oregon to portland maine

mr. diggles — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 16:18:55 +0000

went to my cousin’s wedding this weekend in portland, maine. what a trip. we had lobster.

i didn’t eat the clams. i tried… but after trying to remove the stomach sack i decided it wasn’t really worth it.

this is my dad and i after we ate the lobster. yes, i kept the stache. i finally took it off on sunday. couldn’t do it anymore. i was starting to scare even myself. creepster.

i just wanted to share a few pics and let everyone know in internet land that i am back. i am excited to post some fresh stuff this week. stay tuned n shit.

another euro adventure

mr. diggles — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 06:49:24 +0000

i am currently in belgium. so my posting may be a little sporadic.

i thought this image above was a fitting one in relation to traveling. i went through this phase where i was taking screenshots of portland weather from katu’s weather cam. every once in a while they would show a screen capture of what was on the news and this was a picture that they caught. i had to grab it – and of course add my own captions.

i always thought it was weird how airports always pick on little old ladies. don’t believe me? next time you are going through security you will see that they always profile old ladies. does anyone have any clue why? less to live for? evil.

i will shoot some video here for all you fan(s) in internet(s) land(s) and post it soon. belgium beers, belgium waffles, belgium burritos.

i have train brain

mr. diggles — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 03:23:21 +0000

i don’t know why i feel it is necessary to apologize every time i go on a no posting streak. but i am sorry. i lost my #1 spot for diggles on google – and for a good reason – they run a tight ship.

i do have a good excuse. this last weekend i was in downtown LA at the american music awards celebrity gifting suites. db clay was invited to be a part of the event. so i packed up my shit and flew down. what a trip. i will write more about it once i get all of the photos from the event.

if you haven’t watched the video above yet you should. it is wacky.

indonesian plane crash

mr. diggles — Fri, 09 Mar 2007 17:43:21 +0000

so this is kind of a weird video to post. everyone survived from what i understand so i don’t feel too guilty.

it is amateur footage of people scrambling off the plane after it crashed. it pretty much represents the scariest thoughts of traveling by place.

enjoy!
