I think "Pimp" may also belong somewhere between "Judge" and "Police Detective".

Puppies, Yo.

Thank you Google Reader. Much of what you give me through my recommendations is pretentious white people blogging about life, computers, or feminism in a neither funny nor entirely serious way.

But sometimes, the white people blog about great things. E.g. Puppies:

Thought Blips, or: How my mind works

My brain is a funny thing.

Thoughts in my head bounce around in a disorderly and constant manner. Like electrons, it is impossible to know their position and their speed at the same time. They fly around in orbitals around a brain nucleus. This nucleus serves to attract the thoughts needed to express myself. More often than not, this nucleus attracts too few or too many thoughts and I end up confused or confusing others. Kind of like now.

Anyway, certain thoughts wander too close to the nucleus and get sucked in. Rarely expressed as words but thought up nonetheless, these thoughts are random non-contextual one-liners known as blips. If expressed, they would subject me to confused looks for being so out of context.

And you finally have the opportunity to find out what I mean.

You lucky person.

That long and overthought explanation of the Cognitive Cloud Model of the human brain (a "Brain Storm", if you will) introduces my twitter account: JTAthoughtblips. This will be my outlet of expressing my blips, for everyone's enjoyment.

So enjoy.

More Parliament

Given my recent disposition toward foreign legislative assemblies and my utter lack of anything else to write about, I thought I'd add a new video.



That's right. Canadian Parliament. Surprisingly more interesting than Congress.

They seem to share a similar energy to the Brits, but they lack in what may be the single most important area:

Funny accents.

Ideally, U.S. congress would become more like British parliament. However Canada clearly demonstrates that without the silly voices, even the most mundane subjects remain largely mundane.

Leave it to Canada to show us the wrong way to do something.

First order of business: British Accents. Maybe adopting the funny voices will in itself lead to a change in viewpoint of everyday matters. Maybe inheritance tax will seem important enough to elicit a vocal uproar from those who disagree with a certain policy on it.
