I recently started reading a book by Jiddu Krishnamurti, entitled Freedom From The Known.
It’s a really good book that talks in depth about freeing yourself from pre-conditioning/programming that parents and society provides.
I’d recommend it to anyone looking for freedom from negative/useless conditioning.
It gave me inspiration to create the piece below, it will have it’s own unique meaning to each person who views it.
Oh Gnome!!!
**Edit:
A lot of you have been stumbling onto my page by looking for the age old question:
“Who came first, the Travelocity Gnome, or the Gnome in the movie Amalie?”
Look no further as I have the answer!
The movie Amelie was released in 2001, while the Travelocity Where’s my gnome? commercials started in 2004.
The Travelocity gnome was inspired by a really cool prank.
Also…
As a child I remember watching The World of David The Gnome on Nickelodeon, which was actually a Spanish cartoon brought to the U.S. in 1987, the foul year of my birth.

The most recent photo of 74 year old “Mass Murderer” Charles Manson has surfaced, and it’s obvious his time in prison has been harsh to him. Just look at those “empty” pain-filled eyes.
Instead of posting the color photo, I’ve taken the Halfass Backwards approach and slumped together a comparison with black & white images for the Internet world.

It’s interesting to note that Mr. Manson never killed anyone! Yet, I’ve seen many media outlets refer to him as a mass-murderer. He was ultimately found guilty and charged with conspiracy to commit the murders of Tate/LaBianca.

I hope the Internet will be welcoming of yet another BLoG!!! Maybe this one will bring unique flavor? or Maybe it won’t…That’s up to me…Your Single-serving-narrator.
I digress…
My first post here should start off with a BaNG! Right?(in a matter of speaking) and in keeping with the times, I thought it would be appropriate to begin with a topic that is likely on everyone’s mind…The Economy…
Here is my solution to this limpy problem:

Now…how much for that Senate seat?
