Creative Destruction quote of the month: November 2010

" Mr. Pink: I'm very sorry the government taxes their tips, that's fucked up. That ain't my fault. It would seem to me that waitresses are one of the many groups the government fucks in the ass on a regular basis. Look, if you ask me to sign something that says the government shouldn't do that, I'll sign it, put it to a vote, I'll vote for it, but what I won't do is play ball. And as for this non-college bullshit I got two words for that: learn to fuckin' type, 'cause if you're expecting me to help out with the rent you're in for a big fuckin' surprise."

Mr Pink (Reservoir Dogs 1992 Directed: Quentin Tarantino)

Creative Destruction mini reviews (update 6) Imperia Vodka

This is Vodka. Incredible, smooth and sweet. Pure quality.

It slaughters competition.

Facebook Movie 2010

I will probably wait for this movie when it hits the $5.00 blueray bin, or ex rental bin.

Simply no interest in how a sweaty, awkward geeky guy becomes a billionaire by rewiring, by default, not design, millions of years of human interaction via a database. In the 21st century we have 100's of 'Friends' that we may never meet in person. A healthy sign? Well obviously not. You give a good dose of your personal details to a private entity for 1min of fame with very little satisfaction.

See it is curious that you could be added to Sandy a 25yr old female and model Facebook page, who turns out to be Stan a 45yr male cross dresser who wears his gimp outfit when he logs online to Facebook.

Pass.

Faye Reagan

Too much excess creates cesspools, like too much rain, we get these puddles that form everywhere. Until it drys up. Our society/economic/socially is excess based driven, yes you can argue that a reset is coming, I actually believe this too. But in the meantime a shit load of cesspools out there, which can, at times, fuse into interesting aspects of popular culture. But that is rare on the whole, rather excessiveness maintains a cesspool fixture.

It is rarity, anticipation, seduction all wrapped into want and desire that creates are far more rewarding experience/s. Ok, I am rambling, but aspects of excess (and the cesspools it creates) from our main culture also form in parts of sub-culture, namely pornography. Which has it's place in our culture no doubt, but porn and the culture of excessive sexualization has kinda reached a peak. It is 'fast food' visual gratification, that works on a good day, but it's after effects are dulling. Meaning? It's boring. You can not build or maintain desire with pornography, it does it for you in a blatant barrage of imagery. Within is bland, unmoving and ultimately dissatisfying.

But sometimes good things push through, conscious or not.

Like Faye Reagan, beautiful features, divine red hair (red heads are divine), freckles. She looks striking.

(side note : The interviewer has to hit that awfully patronizing, 'she knows what shes doing', or 'she aint lost' label. Tedious.)

Creative Destruction mini reviews (update 6) Glenfiddich 12yr old Scotch

My dear Dad (who is Scottish born) bought me a bottle of 12yo Glenfiddich.

Above is a 15yo, but the 12yo still makes a killer 'Rob Roy' Manhattan, still Glenfiddich should be drunk neat and NO ice!!! Jeez... otherwise a highlander would stick a fucking sword through your head!

Colliding Galaxies Make Love, Not War

"ScienceDaily (Oct. 18, 2006) — A new Hubble image of the Antennae galaxies is the sharpest yet of this merging pair of galaxies. As the two galaxies smash together, billions of stars are born, mostly in groups and clusters of stars. The brightest and most compact of these are called super star clusters.

The Universe is an all-action arena for some of the largest, most slowly evolving dramas known to mankind. A new picture taken by the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS), onboard the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, shows the “best ever” view of the Antennae galaxies - seemingly a violent clash between a pair of once isolated galaxies, but in reality a fertile marriage. As the two galaxies interact, billions of stars are born, mostly in groups and clusters of stars. The brightest and most compact of these are called super star clusters.

The two spiral galaxies started to fuse together about 500 million years ago making the Antenna galaxies the nearest and youngest example of a pair of colliding galaxies. Nearly half of the faint objects in the Antennae are young clusters containing tens of thousands of stars. The orange blobs to the left and right of image centre are the two cores of the original galaxies and consist mainly of old stars criss-crossed by filaments of dark brown dust. The two galaxies are dotted with brilliant blue star-forming regions surrounded by pink hydrogen gas.

The image allows astronomers to better distinguish between the stars and super star clusters created in the collision of two spiral galaxies. The observations show that only about 10% of the newly formed super star clusters in the Antennae will live to see their ten millionth birthday. The vast majority of the super star clusters formed during this interaction will disperse, with the individual stars becoming part of the smooth background of the galaxy. It is however believed that about a hundred of the most massive clusters will survive to form regular globular clusters, similar to the globular clusters found in our own Milky Way galaxy.

The Antennae galaxies take their name from the long antenna-like “arms” extending far out from the nuclei of the two galaxies, best seen by ground-based telescopes. These “tidal tails” were formed during the initial encounter of the galaxies some 500 million years ago. They give us a preview of what may happen when our Milky Way galaxy likely collides with the neighbouring Andromeda Galaxy about 6 billion years from now."

I can't wait!
