John Simon Ritchie, better known as Sid Vicious, was an English punk rock musician, the bass player of the Sex Pistols and solo singer. Punk rock is an anti-establishment rock music genre and movement that emerged in the mid-1970s. Groups such as the Ramones, Sex Pistols, and The Clash were recognized as the vanguard of a new musical movement. By 1977, punk was spreading around the world.
God Save The Queen was originally called No Future. The band played it live and recorded a demo version with that title, but changed it when lead singer Johnny Rotten got the idea to mock the British monarchy. This became an anthem for the Punk movement in England. It expressed the anger young people felt toward the establishment. God save the queen / The fascist regime / They made you a moron / Potential H-bomb God save the queen / She ain’t no human being / There is no future / In England’s dreaming Don’t be told what you want / Don’t be told what you need / There’s no future, no future, / No future for you God save the queen / We mean it man / We love our queen / God saves God save the queen / ‘Cause tourists are money / And our figurehead / Is not what she seems Oh God save history / God save your mad parade / Oh Lord God have mercy / All crimes are paid When there’s no future / How can there be sin / We’re the flowers in the dustbin / We’re the poison in your human machine / We’re the future, your future God save the queen / We mean it man / We love our queen / God saves God save the queen / We mean it man / And there is no future / In England’s dreaming No future, no future, / No future for you / No future, no future, / No future for me No future, no future, / No future for you / No future, no future / For you

Okay chaps, this is potentially a very tricky operation but we are counting on you to pull through. Marching straight into the headquarters of the “Art Establishment” has never been attempted before. Keep your palettes over your face and brushes at the ready at all times. The enemy have some very nasty tactics. One of the most insidious will be to try to confuse us by pretending that rubbish is art. Do not fall for this trap. If you see any rubbish, paint it immediately. Any Questions? “What am I supposed to do as a tailgunner, sir?” Private tailgunner 001 sable round, it is your job to splatter paint over advancing telescopic lenses,” “Thank you sir.

Another great find on my drive through the back roads of SE Texas…. /
most of the cropping I do is done by where I stand in relation to the subject and how I hold my camera. I’ve fallen in recent years to the drive-thru ease of digital, but mostly stay true. at least to my words. like this one. *edited from a certain company that’s going to send us here quicker than maybe we should go. as seen in my calendar reality edited /

Stepping into McSorley’s is a step into the past. / It looks like it did in the 1850’s only older. / There is one lavatory, so it’s unisex. They serve the best Ale in the world, and if you order it be sure to order the cheese mustard and onions. / You may be able to find McSorley’s Ale in a can, but it’s just not as good as in the frozen draft glasses.
Eight years of the Bush administration combined with six years of neo-conservative Republican control of Congress and two years of neo-conservative Republican obstruction in that same body have wrought untold destruction on our system of government. However, I don’t think the lessons have been learned, mainly since those members of our population here in America still feel that education is like a disease and any piece of information larger than a bumper sticker or a t-shirt is too hard to digest. So here for all of my countrymen who haven’t yet grasped the lessons of the Bush years, is my primer on what can happen when you vote Republican. NOTE: This does not mean that I think all Republicans are like this. I’m sure all of you who call yourselves Republican actually believe in things like freedom, equality (for everyone, which is what equality actually means) fiscal conservatism and so on and so forth, but what you believe and what the people who run your party and represent you in Congress and the White House believe are two entirely different animals.

The manipulation of self worth is one of the more insidious mechanisms in our culture of consumerism. The tool is older than the sin that warns against it but each year we seem to find newer and baser levels to stoop. Many of our photographic counterparts on this very website are perpetrators of this crime, promoting an aesthetic that can only be achieved with the lie of Photoshop (Edited from a Le Chateau store in Victoria BC. There is a lot of negative energy in the mall.) as seen in my calendar reality edited /

I was out trying to get some final images for my pika project. A pretty good day when I heard the groaning sounds of agitated mountain goats behind me. I didn’t even realize they were there until they got noisy. I was in a little island of flat, fairly stable rocks in the talus, and had to quickly swing around, balancing on a pointy, loose rock to get the angle for these nannies. I turned around and saw these 2 adult nannies circling each other with their heads lowered – one of those signs things are going to get interesting very soon. I’m not even sure what the conflict was over, but after only a couple of seconds of circling, they went at it. It didn’t take long to see who was the victor. The other goat backed down very quickly, but not quickly enough, and wound up getting chased down a short slope. I rarely see mountain goats who aren’t sure-footed, but this one was in an uncontrolled slide down a few boulders.
