i have a 178 mile relay run the first weekend in June and one more Disneyland run in September....i'm thinking of making the September Disneyland half a regular run for me....this year i'm running for a charity called The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention in less than a month i've been able to raise $775 towards my $1500 goal!

i've been toying with the idea of a full marathon for a year now but just haven't had the guts to sign up....i'm really glad i finally just fucking did it and now just have to run!

Damn man, you are a maniac. Keep it up. I dropped the ball this year and didn't raise money for the Aids walk. Just been so busy with everything else and all the marches I have been to.

I'm sure many of you have already read this, but..
Apparently the MIDI notation of "Laura Palmer's Theme" actually resembles twin peaks!:

Quote:

Over the phone, Hurley tells Vulture that once, while studying Badalamenti’s MIDI notation for “Laura Palmer’s Theme,” he noticed something astonishing. “The MIDI notation of ‘Laura Palmer’s Theme,’ you look at it and you’re like, ‘What’s this a picture of?’” Hurley says. “You look at it and it’s actually … Twin Peaks. ****ing eerie.” That’s right: The image below illustrates how Badalamenti unconsciously conceived the song to open in a low-voiced motif, climb upward, peak, cascade downward back to the low motif, once again climb, then fall in the very same shape as the show’s namesake.

Lynch and Badalamenti were just as flabbergasted with the discovery, Hurley says. “I showed David the photo and I was like, ‘What does this look like to you?’ and he said, ‘Yeah, twin peaks. What about it?’” Hurley says. “And I told him what it was, and he just started shouting, ‘It’s cosmic! It’s cosmic! It’s cosmic!’

His next movie involves a full cast of random people on the internet reacting to him not making anymore movies when in fact he is making the movie we are all in right now.

Holy **** I'm stoned.

Don't judge a book by its cover folks. This is pretty amazing stuff.

Nixon had proposed slashing the PBS budget from $40M to $20M. Rogers went before Congess and made an impassioned plea as to why his show was extremely important to the kids who watch it.

The head of the committe was blown away. Be sure to watch to the very end. It's 7:00 well spent. I wonder how this would have gone down today.....

And before the snark starts, no he wasn't gay. He was married to the same woman for 51 years and had two kids.
