    Jul 3 2009 12:47 AM

    James Gunn rocks!!!

    Check out my music, you might like the message. ;)

    Are you confused? Noticing a lot of patterns, synchronicities, and weird things happening around you? Take a look at my blog titled "The Cheat Code of Reality"

    Don't miss "The Origins of The Neo Illuminati" and "The REAL Men in Black"

    Also

    "Increasing the Biological Consciousness Field Output for Dummies"

    p.s.

    The Neo Illuminati is the Continuity of Operations Plan. The Continuity of Operations Plan refers to the preparations and institutions maintained by the United States government, providing survival of federal government operations in the case of catastrophic events. It is also known as Continuity of Government in other countries. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuity_of_Operations_Plan

    With catastrophic events such as the 9/11 inside job, the intentional crashing of the economy, the releasing of viruses such as bird and swine flu, the "patriot" act destroying the constitution, this country, and the world, is indeed in a state of emergency. When the Constitution of the USA is messed with, it ceases to be The United States of America. The N.I. is here to help.

    We are your last, best, and only hope.

    Oh my eyes, your space page is really ... red, no offense.  Sorry I haven't been around in a long time, I've been going through Hell, but enough about me, I did some snooping around at Instant Films after seeing your update and found:

    Tube   - weird, disturbing, and oddly poignant.  Haven't watched The Swidge yet, and

    Fish out of Water - starring Sean.  Well there's the nice guy role I keep saying you should cast him in!

    Good stuff, glad I found it.

    Chicks Dig Scars - Chapter One

    Chicks dig scars, everyone knows that, right? Meet Severence DeSnappio, a man who creates ‘fake’ injuries for desperate clients. He’ll get you a stab wound, shot gun blast, snowboarding injury - but a bite from a great white shark?

    S    et in Miami, Chicks Dig scars is a lyrical, Lynchian mix of dream logic and hard boiled detection.

    Subscribe to my blog to follow the serialization.
