Welcome to the creepy cute world of KimoKawaii. Here you will find the home page of Joshua Normal, artist, programmer, amateur absinthe brewer, pirate, and all around modern scoundrel. Look around, enjoy my works, enjoy the strange things I find around the net, and most of all enjoy yourself.
I started watching the video thinking wouldn’t it be funny if Major Nelson had run into the Outland Steampunk Crew. Then a couple of seconds in I got my answer. If you don’t know any of them you can see one of their members in a short film directed by another friend of mine that won the chance to compete at the Atlanta Campus Movie Fest. Professor Dantes and the Severin Conundrum
It’s good fun seeing my friends all so busy while I’ve been laid up sick as a dog.
What do you do if your a good futurist and have lost the nearest and dearest pet you ever owned. Well, the obvious answer is pay a South Korean company to clone your now deceased pet for you.
A woman from the United States wants her dead pitbull terrier - called Booger - re-created.
Now obviously this isn’t nearly as exciting as being able to raise the clone of your now deceased significant other leading you to do horrible fucked up and disturbing things to the slowly maturing replica of your ex-lover in a whole new sci-fi twist on the tale of Oedipus. It is on a close second for issues that people should really learn to handle and move on from though. When Sparky, or in this case Booger kicks off his mortal coil and heads off to be worm food it’s time for you to say goodbye, remember the good times and get on with life. Now thanks to science emotionally retarded rich idiots can avoid the painful loss attributed to the natural life of their pets and simply have them cloned. But why should they stop there. Why not go ahead and create a new clone once a year, then you could just euthanize the aging version each year and replace it with one that’s a year younger. You could forever have a dog that stayed young and energetic never having to learn the lesson that aging is a painful process that will eventually end in death. Wealthy brat children would never have to deal with the loss of a pet and could remain the emotionally stunted useless puppets blissfully ignorant of reality, since that’s what most people seem to actually want of their children these days. And if you think this sounds like a good idea go watch Metropolis, the original not the Japanese cartoon version.
Interestingly RNL Bio’s website mentions nothing about their new business in cloning pets. Wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that they realize cloning dead pets is a frivilous use of science and would make them look far less like a respectable company and more like a company that should also be offering cryogenic storage options for people who want to survive into the future.
Looks like we may have the choice of the lesser of two evils again this year. I keep hoping that one day we will get politicians people want to vote for running. Every four years I get disappointed again. At least the congressional races occasionally offer someone worthwhile.
Well, McCain was a given. He has been a good boy and toed the party line for the last four years like he was told to do so the RNC are sort of obligated to give it to him for his support of Bush since 2004. There could be some last minute jostling for the Dems but I gotta say I really don’t see Obama coming out on top this time. There may be a foolish notion of running a Clinton/Obama ticket this fall but that’s sort of like getting the stuffed bear at the county fair. It ended up costing you more than it was worth and it still probably won’t get you laid.
Is it so wrong that I almost want to go to the local Primary Watch Party for Ron Paul supporters just to watch their excitement deflate as the night wears on.
It wouldn’t be such a strong desire if they weren’t so overeager and unrealistic in their expected victory. Today shouldn’t be about winning for them so much as it should be about getting attention for their goals. Instead so many of them seem to think he has a chance.
Of course tomorrow they will be screaming that it’s all the fault of the electronic voting machines and their conspiracy theories will explode all over in ridiculous ways and size and that will be fun to watch as well.
If you live in one of the 24 states that have primaries tomorrow you can help to redeem yourself for that horrible American Gladiators incident a few weeks ago and get out of your houses, offices, campuses, or wherever you may be enjoying, despairing over, or whatever inbetweening the life you currently lead to take part in our great democracy. This year should be a good year for lots of Americans to take part for the first time in the start of the presidential election process. Since 78% of you out there seem to feel that our country is off course and we need a better president it’s time to go out and choose the candidate you feel will make a change from the entire field and not wait around for someone else to choose the two main contenders for you.
Do this for me please. I made a horrible mistake eight years ago in thinking that the lowest common denominator not only couldn’t win but wouldn’t actually make all that big of a difference if he was elected. At that point I had faith in our system of checks and balances that would keep this idiot from running our country into the ground. I was wrong, I’m not going to have faith in our government to police itself anymore. So now I’m getting involved in the process again, this time from early on and I’m going to be damned sure that if we are stuck with a choice between the lesser of two evils then I did something to try and stop it from happening.
You have the legal right to take time off tomorrow to go to the polls and make a difference. Please do it.
