FBI agent flees manhunt, partner charged with a curious crime

According to this article, an FBI agent by the name of Stephen Ivans went to Russian Envoy Vladimir Vinokurov to warn that he and a former FBI agent named Donald Sachtleben had found evidence of an impending terror attack against the US. Before he could finish, the three American Diplomatic Security agents came after him, making him run.

FBI apparently told the media that the guy was distraught and suicidal, and still in possession of his service weapon.

Oddly enough, Donald Sachtleben, the aforementioned former FBI agent who went with Ivans to warn of the false flag attack, was arrested within hours of Ivens' disappearance, and was charged with trading child pornography.

Apparently, an over 25-year veteran of the FBI, who was a special agent bomb technician before retiring in 2008, who specialized in counter-terrorism and bombing investigation,s and whose most important case was the 11 September 2001 attacks on New York City, is stupid enough to openly trade child porn using the e-mail address pedodave69@yahoo.com

Yes, folks, brilliant tactical minds use emails with obvious pedophilic ties to trade child pornography. And it just so happens anyone in the FBI who knows too much is involved in such things. 

Wouldn't it be so much easier to just use a neuralyzer, my dear government?

Now, it's worth noting that my source's main source seems to be selling a book about 2012, so, make of that what you will.

Toonami



All of my yes. Right here.
I can hardly contain my excitement.

El Poco Maro

I've known about El Poco Maro for some time; he made some killer remixes for Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt THE WORST ALBUM. It's only recently that I've rediscovered him over on SoundCloud, and boy are my ears happy.

It started as I was browsing through the Drum & Bass tags and found this amazing mix:
EVANGELION (el poco maro remix) by el poco maro

Now, at the time I was still a total noob at finding music on SoundCloud, and just kinda left it at that for a while. It wasn't until a couple weeks ago that it hit me that, "Oh, he's that guy!" and so I went back and looked through his stuff.

Goddamn. A lot of this stuff is amazing.

A couple other key songs that I am absolutely in love with, however, are:
CHRONO TRIGGER 風の憧憬 (el poco maro remix) by el poco maro

FINAL FANTASY V&VII (el poco maro remix) by el poco maro

Seriously, check him out. Fucking amazing.

Moar personal bullshit for no one to care about!

okay so
I wound up getting kicked out of my dad's house for insurance reasons, moved in with my best buddy several weeks ago.
Friend of mine in MN sent me this awesome Lenovo ThinkPad X61, and I love it to death. Been drawing quite a bit on it, but it's mostly ended up pure garbage that I've trashed.

My other half released a couple of electronic albums which I urge everyone to check out, especially if you like glitchy-type stuff. I drew the cover art on both, not to mention my relationship with the artist, so, I may be a little bit biased here, but, yeah, they're both pretty damn good if I say so myself.

Can't think of much else to add. I'm pretty much stuck here for a while. I don't feel the need to add anything else for now, so... I suppose that's it for now.

Oh wow oh geez

To the (what, 5?) people who keep track of me on here, sorry for the lack of updates. I've been busy with turning 21, getting legally intoxicated for the first two times, spending about a month between friends' houses and, ultimately, coming back to my crappy computer and my cold camper of a home.

That said, in the coming weeks, a friend of mine should be sending me a laptop! 4GB of RAM might not be cutting-edge by today's standards, but when you're used to relying on a nearly-10-year-old ancient tome, that's a pretty major improvement, if I do say so myself (considering my current memory is, like, 1/8 of that).

I'm gonna be spending a lot of my time drawing; whether I finish any of it or not remains to be seen. I'm sure I'll be drawing a lot more when I have a faster computer.

Anyway, just wanted to keep you folks in the know! I'm gonna go curl up in bed and hope that it gets warm eventually...

Hemp Tycoon

Ugh. I fucking HATE these stupid social games on facebook. They're poorly-encoded flash games that serve no purpose other than pestering your friends (LIKE ME) with shit they don't care about. And by pester, I don't mean they leave it to clutter their feed, what bugs me is when people are more or less coerced to send ME something DIRECTLY about, "Oh, help water my farm!" "Oh, feed my fish!" Probably wouldn't bug me so much if I had a decent computer, but still. It's a slippery slope I'm not willing to take. I don't wish any ill will toward your virtual fish, but if I feed yours, I might want my own, and I'm not sure if my ego could handle that.


That said, Hemp Tycoon is fucking amazing.

Adult Swim Games made it, so you know it's gonna be good. I used to hate ASG because I only like most of their TV programming as mindless enjoyment when nothing else is on that late at night (although that's not to say there's not the occasional gem on air; Moral Orel, ATHF, Metalocalypse, etc.) and I honestly thought that most of their games would be shit pertaining to their shows. Then I read about how they actually HATE that concept. And then I played Robot Unicorn Attack. Oh my god.

ANYWAY, I'm getting off track here. Hemp Tycoon is, while keeping in mind that I've never played much of FarmVille, it's basically just a huge middle finger to the game, so much as I can tell. You plant crops in both games, they're both prone to withering, and they both will get you so addicted you actually think about paying real money for these virtual crops, and then you remember that if you had the money to waste on that you'd be out playing Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked, or Cave Story 3D, or StarFox 3D, or one of the countless other 3DS ports. But then, I'm getting off topic again.

There are two main differences I can tell between Hemp Tycoon and FarmVille, as someone who has never played FarmVille: Where FarmVille is about actually farming crops, Hemp Tycoon is, as the name implies, about growing different variants of marijuana. The other difference is that Hemp Tycoon has a deliciously tongue-in-cheek sense of humor that keeps me playing. One of the actual status updates that got posted on my wall read as such:

"Zachary Bradley just watered a plant in the Facebook game Hemp Tycoon. No, seriously, that's all the information this post has to offer. Zachary Bradley watered a plant."

Several wall posts make sure to mention the fact that you're wasting precious time with your real life by playing some dumb facebook game. I don't know why, but that kind of shit just gets me giddy as all fuck. I love it.

However, the game does come with a few drawbacks. The most noticeable thing is, well, it's a fucking facebook game. If you're like me, you're gonna kick yourself for getting addicted to such a thing. The second thing is, there's still a few glitches to it. The game IS still in beta stages, but then, I'm not so sure games like these ever leave the beta stage. Seems like last I checked, FarmVille was still in beta. However, seemingly-indefinite open beta stage games have proven me wrong before. I have a LOT of friends who love Minecraft.

Another thing I don't much care for is the sound, but then, that's just a personal opinion, and it fits the game quite well. The music is pretty much what you'd expect your typical stoner to listen to, and the whole thing seems to take a lot of influence from the whole marijuana scene. Music fits the scenery really well, and that's a good thing, it's just not my cup of tea. The sound effects fit the game really well too, but since clash with the kind of music I usually have going on, so once I've got the in-game soundtrack muted, I usually just turn that off too.

Whewh. This is probably my longest post here, so I'll cut it short here. Good thing too, my last batch of plants are about to wither.

DREAM


I had just come from the pet store, and I had bought an octopus and a turtle. I was going to buy a floating anta ray, but the one I wanted was electric and I was afraid of it shocking me.

I went back to the car with my two new pets where a few friends of mine from prison were waiting for me. We all decided to go the movies. However, on the way there, I found that the manta had snuck out with me by attaching to my back underneath my shirt and hoodie. I frantically screamed and tore off my hoodie and shirt. I was gonna tug it off, but then I remembered it was electric, and I didn't want to get shocked. The driver finally pulled into a mall parking lot. I got out and the driver went around to grab him off. I begged him not to and tried to tell him that they give an electric shock when threatened, but he did anyway. The manta stayed suctioned to my back as he was given an electric shock, enough to jolt him off of me. It changed color and came off of my back as it chased after him.

I ran to the mall with my shirt and hoodie already back on me, to look for a pet store to tell me what to do, and also because I wasn't sure what turtles and octopi were supposed to eat. When I went inside though, I found that there was a movie theater in the mall. I ran out smiling wide as I told the driver. Our three other friends were glad to hear that we could just run out and have fun today. I took the turtle and octopus out of their pet shop box and set them in the back seat floor board to play together, when I found that the manta had snuck back into the car. I let them all play together as we went out to the mall.

I spat on the parking lot, but in real life I spat all over my face. Disgusted with myself, I frantically got up and ran to the bathroom to clean off my face.
