For 23 years Rom Houben was trapped in his own body, unable to communicate with his doctors or family. They presumed he was in a vegetative state following a near-fatal car crash in 1983.
Everyone's worst nightmare.
My buddy Kyle called me up on Saturday and said he scored a luxury box to see KISS at the Oakland Coliseum Sunday night.
Well shoot, how many opportunities do you get to go to something so ridiculous, so we said "sure, let's go!" Well, it was just as cheesy and ridiculous as I expected. The funniest part was the people there who were real fans, rocking out and singing every word. I loved the spectacle, but their actual music is pretty terrible. Still, it was worth it, especially the luxury box. Buckcherry opened, they suck.Here's a picture Andrea took with her Blackberry.Aerosmith? Fuck them.
Excuse me... Fuck them NOW. In the 70's, no. But now, oh yes.The news out there is that Steven Tyler has left Aerosmith and Joe Perry and the remaining members are looking for a replacement. With much offense, just pitch it in all together, boys. Nobody wants another Honkin' On Bobo. Yeech. True they've had one of the biggest comebacks in history but their music has been for shit. For my money, Aerosmith should've ended when Perry left the group after 1979's Night At The Ruts. The original lineup reformed in '84 and since then we've had twenty-five years of a complete shit storm of awful music. Dude (Looks Like A Lady)? Please. Blow me.
"According to police, witnesses said the teens called Brewer "a snitch" as they poured alcohol over him, and one of them used a lighter to set him on fire."
First of all, I'm glad to see that these little assholes are being charged as adults. When you're 15-16 years old, you know what you're doing. You know what's right and what's wrong. You know the results of lighting someone on fire.
A black man robs a store and kills someone in the process, and what happens? He gets the death penalty and is probably written off as unworthy of rehabilitation.
These asshole suburban kids are evil - EVIL. And what will happen? They'll most likely be coddled and given all the benefit of the doubt in the world. Yet if they were 2-3 years older, "legal adults," I bet most of that coddling and that benefit of the doubt would disappear. But I'm going to come right out and say this: When you're 15 years old, you know the consequences of those actions as well as you would if you were 18 years old.
That black man who robbed a store and killed someone, I bet he was pretty much doomed from birth due to social and economic conditions. Someone actually worthy of the rehabilitation that the prison system is supposed to be practicing. But no, these evil privileged white kids will most likely get all the compassion and second chances that so many unfortunate people in the shitty US justice system will never get.
So I'm a webcomics fan, I'll admit it.
I was indulging in one of my more morbid pleasures, Pictures for Sad Children, which is easily one of the creepiest websites I've ever come across. It pleases the dark spot in all of us. Check it out. ANYWAY.
Seeing a bottle of this in an apartment would immediately undo any attraction that this product created. Maybe that's just me.
