My Saturday's Finest

As ghetto as it may seemed. Sardines are very tasty. Sometimes I do get tempted to get a burger. But rather save it for something else. Perhaps for hiking later, or a movie, soon as I am done with these current projects.

I'm also waiting for an update about the imminent missile launch from North Korea. Supposedly, the launch starts today till the 8th of this month. What if it's really a long range test-fire, other than a satellite. The satellite could also be a device to pin point targets. Kim Jong-il recently had a stroke. What is Kim Jong-il's last goal before he's gone.

Copy Cat - Jiverly Voong

What 42-year-old Jiverly Voong did is most likely a copy cat of what Seung-Hui Cho did at Virginia Tech. Mr. Voong also used two handguns and lots of ammunitions. The building he chose to carry out his fury was an area he was familiar with. He knew there are only two doors which is the front and the back. He used his truck to block the back door and the front as the main entrance to start the slaughtering. The same method of what Seung-Hui Cho did by chaining the doors back at Virginia Tech. Mr. Voong might of felt like the Immigration Center failed him to improve his English Skills. A perfect spot for him to prove his point. Plus the numbers of people in the building that didn't know how to speak English for help. Maaan, the only person that called 911 is the receptionist who was shot in the abdomen. Possibly the only few people in the building that spoke any English for sure.

Aside that, based from what I read, rumors says that Mr. Voong was a hardcore hater.

Now I am really thinkin' of arming myself if I get a Security Job. I'm pretty sure someone else are going to try to top this one up. The dude had a bullet proof vest. Obviously he was expecting security guards being in the Immigration Center. Next thing you know maniacs are gonna be using grenades.

Taliban Flogged a 17 Yr. Old Girl

I found the blog from The Jawa Report. I was just browsing about the detained No. 2 suspect of the Mexican Juarez Cartel, and not only that I found what I was looking for, I also found this story of the Taliban flogging a 17 year old girl. Jeeez man, American girls has it easy and very lucky to be far from this type of laws. She was probably just talking to a girl next door or something.

Here's the grainy 3GP video being sent from phone to phone throughout Southeast Asia showing Sharia Law. In it Taliban enforcers in Pakistan's Swat Valley, which has just made peace with the Islamists and instituted Sharia Law, are seen beating a young girl.



Her crime? Either she was caught leaving a man's house without a chaperon or she's been accused of fornication.

Good thing she wasn't married and caught in the act in which case the punishment would be stoning to death.

The caption accompanying the video at Liveleak says her screams are translated as, “Please! Enough! Enough!” and, “I am repenting, my father is repenting what I have done, my grandmother is repenting what I have done...”.

The man beating her says, “You should hold her tightly so she doesn’t move.”

4.3 Magnitude

For sure I thought the North Korean's delivered their missile here in California this morning. Turned out it was a 4.3 Magnitude earth quake that woke me up this morning. Or was it around afternoon. I think it was already noon. This is probably the 10th time I played STATIX - Playlist 02 over, which left me sleeping late last night. And still can't seem to find the right sample for my next track. As well as getting few ideas. The best samples are from albums with less or no drum beats at all. You pretty much do all the beats that goes along with the sample. Usually, tracks from the 70's like this dude named Boon Doc uses are the best ones to use. The thing is, they're way too common for me to sample. Mind as well visit few Record Stores for that.

I Am Robot And Proud is also in the Playlist. He did cool on "The Work" using Tenori-On. It has that bell sounds to it. If I would chose between Tenori-On and Motif ES Rack, I would definitely choose the Motif. You can always grab that Tenori-On bell sounds and sample that in MPC using 1/16 tempo.

4.3 Earthquake's FULL ARTICLE


Speaking of earthquakes, I won't ever forget the 6.9 magnitude quake of 1989. I was in the wrestling gym during my sophomore year in high school when it happened. The floor was moving like the ocean's wave. Most of the stop lights were all messed up like fallen trees after a big storm. When I got home, the electricity were off. And when the electricty was back on, I turned on the TV news, and learned that the aftermath was much more worse than the fallen stop lights.


A fortune message from a cookie last night. I've been in the Lab Cave for damn too long since moving in to this new room. And I do need to get back to Nature for a little bit.

STATIX - Playlist 02

Other than organizing my external hardrive, setting up for the next 3 tracks I am going to be making, planning for my next move in life, and being aware of all them catastrophic events that are going on in the world today. I put together another playlist. Some sounds a bit soft but I find its melodies soulful for my taste. The rest of the tracks that are in here are electronica genres. I Hope you enjoy the music.

Legalized Marijuana Issue

In the future perhaps Marijuana are going to be legalized just like how alcohol and tobacco are legal today. Remember the Al Capone Era in the 1930's when there were many mobster killings just like Mexico today. Actually there was another Mexico Drug Cartel Wars back in the 80's. Except the drug wars was in Columbia, between Cartel Kingpin Pablo Escobar and the Los Pepes as well as Americans. Los Pepes were known as an underground short lived vigilante groups who executed anyone who works or related to Pablo Escobar. From what I read and research, rumors says that the Los Pepes were funded by rival cartels known as the Cali Cartel. These rivals also has ties to the Columbian Government, and the real intentions was to take over the cocaine industry of Columbia and make an underground corporate relation with the US. But the DEA had an eye on it more ever since. My point is, Marijuana might become legal anytime soon. And it will be treated with the same laws like alcohol and tobacco. You gotta be 21 to get it. You can't drive vehicles or be at a public area if smoking it. There will probably be signs for Chronic Smoker Area Only. Or some sort of a Hookah Lounges that serves Marijuana. Maybe they'll even have some sort of a sober pills. As you go out in public coming from the Lounge, the Lounge first offers you a sober pills or some kind.

In my opinion, soon as they have them cars that drives itself automatically, and the existence of robotic maids, Marijuana will probably be legal then here in the US. Consequently, legalizing Marijuana is also a gateway for other kinds of narcotics. Bad drugs like Opium, Heroin, Cocaine, Methamphetamine, and Ecstasy. That wouldn't be good. Unless there will be more jobs in the Medical Field for that issue. Hardcore junkies wouldn't be afraid and hiding their addictions anymore, they can easily go to a hospital legally and get treated. The media just have to show more TV Ads on how drugs kills. Just like the TV Ads today against tobacco companies. Don't take my sarcasm twisted now. But again, you just never know.

Detained US Journalists - North Korea

Updated photos of American journalists Euna Lee and Laura Ling.

I think these two American journalists are being treated well, and probably be allowed to document about the plan to test-fire the long-range rocket. Just to point out to the world that there should be nothing to worry about. Japan, US, and South Korea are pushing UN sanction but such move are being blocked by China and Russia.

I have seen some footage though on how some North Koreans treats their prisoners. And they are ruthless. From young men and women, and to the older folks, they all get the brutal beat-downs. But for these two American journalists, could be far from the typical North Korean imprisonment. Unless North Koreans are making a foolish move, an invitation of another useless conflict at a time of global economic crises. I don't know much about communism but this might be the right seasons for them to gain more power.

The journalists were identified by people familiar with their plans as Laura Ling and Euna Lee of San Francisco-based Current TV LLC. The two women and two men had been interviewing North Korean refugees in the border towns.

The group was believed to be filming in or near the shallow river that separates the two countries when soldiers that guard the North Korean border took them. However, details were uncertain.

That's North Korea right there on the top. The Japanese are paranoid about the idea of a missile test-fire, and so the Japanese are launching a rocket of their own to shoot down the North Korean's missile, just before it reaches it's goal. Maaan that's next week.

Fallen Star Photo Released

This December 2008 photo, released by NASA, shows a black chunk of rock found in the Sudan desert, the first time astronomers have tracked an asteroid from space, toward Earth, into the atmosphere and down on the ground as a meteorite.

I am getting sucked up by yahoo articles, but I can't help but post this story as one of my blog. This is something big here, although they only found an 8.7 pounds of left over rock from a different planet but failed to form as a planet 4.5 billions years ago. Damn man, how old is planet earth? Earth is like around 4.7 billions years old or somethin'. That's history right there. More like questioning and actually receiving answers from God or some sort. The article says this is the first time Astronomers to tracked a falling star from space and down to earth.

Southeast Asian tribal warriors from ancient times used to follow these kinds of asteroids too. And when they found the rock, they make a ceremonial swords or a dagger out of it called Kris. Like this image here:
