1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate (between 1 and 10).
2. Multiply this number by 2.
3. Add 5.
4. Multiply that by 50.
5. If you've already had your birthday this year add 1761. If you haven't, add 1760.
6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born (1972 etc.)
You should now have a three digit number. The first digit of this was your original number (i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week). The next two digits are your age.

Great Interview With Bob Love
Part 1
Part 2
Bob Love had the sweetest stroke I ever saw in the NBA. You could actually watch the seems spin on the ball with those high rainbow shots he did because he held the ball "just so" when he shot it every time. He's had a lot of hard luck in life actually. He talks here about meeting his father for the first time when he was 35 and the love he tried to show him. He also talks about his severe stuttering that actually got him sacked from the Bucks even though he was playing well. After leaving the NBA, that same stuttering problem kept him from finding employment, and he actually had to take a job as a busboy and dishwasher for quite a while. The owner of the restaurant did him a good turn though and paid for speech therapy classes which made it possible for Bob to get a job as Director of Community Affairs in 1993 with his old team—the Bulls. You'll notice that he still stammers, but he communicates much better than he used to. I had a severe stammering problem when I was a little boy, so I can relate a little bit.

Homodufusness
Is anyone else sick to death of "Glee"? When it first came on I thought it wasn't a half bad show, at least for high school kids. Now it's become all about glorifying homosexuality. No sane parent would let their children watch this garbage at this point. They also had a homosexual wedding on some medical show the other night (Grey's Crapatomy maybe?). And every other TV show just has to have an episode featuring two women kissing. As if any sane man in the country thinks that's at all appealing. As far as I'm concerned, all this does is perpetuate mental illness among the masses, especially the children who believe everything you put on TV.
It's gotten beyond absurd. I'd write to my congressman and have him enact a law, but Mr. Costello is usually too busy suckin' down brewskies and cohorting with the local mobsters at Tim & Joes to be bothered.

Very Weird Cloud Thingy
You have to put this in full-screen and fast forward to around 43-seconds and watch the upper left portion of the clouds. This video is by a Christian guy I just met. He has no idea what it is either, but it's very strange.

"Woman in the Dunes"
I watched a Japanese movie from the early 60s over the weekend called "Woman in the Dunes" that was the most bizarre thing I've ever seen. It was chilling and the very definition of "strangeness" (as CS Lewis used the word). The film had a very otherworldly quality to it that was like watching a nightmare. I can't really say if it was good or bad, but everyone should see it just to see what strange really is.
It's about a man (a school teacher) who's an entomologist. During a lone expedition to the beach to collect sand beetles etc., he becomes a prisoner in a woman's hut that exists at the bottom of a deep sand pit. The sand itself has some otherworldly qualities to it. The woman has apparently been there all her life. We find at the end of the film that the man stays there at least seven years, and by the end of the movie, he becomes so acclimated to his surroundings that he doesn't seem to want to leave.
If there's a Hell, this movie is it.

Hilaire Belloc - "The Night"
I have some audio clips of Belloc singing his own songs at YouTube, and a man by the name of Jude Galbraith left a video response to it that's a choral work he wrote and sang all the parts to with the words taken from one of Belloc's poems--"The Night." He's got a style of vocalizing that's unlike anything I've ever heard. Check out some of his other songs too at his YouTube Channel.
