And away we go...

Since Brian's tired of writing, I'd like to draw your attention to an older article from way back). I'm hoping there will be some new comments. C'mon people, everyone and their dog has an opinion about religion! (I realize that that was a very subtle joke and may be considered to be in bad taste. I apologize.)

So let's power up the virtual time machine and go back to May 18, 2006! Make some funny noises or flick the lights on and off; it'll help create the illusion of time traveling and earn you some really weird looks from the other drones around the office.

On to RELIGION!

Brian's Song: Kinder der Nacht

As I've shown time and time again, I like unconventional things and the same goes for my music. If it sounds good and I find myself hitting the repeat button again and again then I know I got something good, and for me it doesn't even have to be in English for me to enjoy it. I have great respect for the German music scene, in Germany, hell, all of Europe you'll find some of the best pure music around. So I looked around and found one of my favorite Euro bands and picked my favorite song.

So for this week I chose Eisbrecher's "Kinder der Nacht" as this week's Brian's Song.

"Kinder der Nacht"
By: Eisbrecher

Spür wie die kalte Glut
in deiner Seele brennt

Spürst du die dunkle Macht
die dich vom Leben trennt

Wir sind die schwarze Lust
im Schoss der Einsamkeit
Wir sind das letzte Licht
vor der Unendlichkeit

Wir sind die Kinder
Wir sind die Kinder der Nacht
Sind aus den Schatten
der Dunkelheit erwacht

Spürst du wie schwarzes Blut
durch deine Venen schießt

Spürst du wie die kalte Lust
sich in dein Herz ergießt

Wir sind die schwarze Macht
Die Saat der Dunkelheit
Wir schließen einen Pakt
für alle Ewigkeit

Wir sind die Kinder
Wir sind die Kinder der Nacht
Sind aus den Schatten
der Dunkelheit erwacht

Wir sind die Kinder der Nacht

Spürst du wie schwarzes Blut
durch deine Venen schießt
Spür wie die dunkle Macht
sich in dein Herz ergießt
Wir sind die Finsternis
Die Kraft der Dunkelheit
Wir schließen einen Pakt
für alle Ewigkeit

Wir sind die Kinder
Wir sind die Kinder der Nacht
Sind aus den Schatten
der Dunkelheit erwacht

Wir sind die Kinder
Wir sind die Kinder der Nacht
Sind aus den Schatten
der Dunkelheit erwacht

Oh wait a minute, I forgot you can't read
German...oops!!!

MY BAD!!!!

Try this instead:

"Children of the night"
By: Icebreaker

Feel how the cold embers
burn in your soul

Do you feel the dark power
that separates you from life

We are the black desire
in the lap of loneliness
We are the last light
before infinity

We are the children
We are the children of the night
Awoken from the
shadows of darkness

Do you feel black blood
shooting through your veins

Do you feel the cold desire
pouring into your heart

We are the black power
The seeds of darkness
We'll make a pact
for all eternity

We are the children
We are the children of the night
Awoken from the
shadows of darkness

We are the children of the night

Do you feel black blood
shooting through your veins
Do you feel the dark power
pouring into your heart
We are the gloom
The power of darkness
We'll make a pact
for all eternity

We are the children
We are the children of the night
Awoken from the
shadows of darkness

We are the children
We are the children of the night
Awoken from the
shadows of darkness....


Ahhh..... Happy times

"A Simple Explanation"

Everyone's been asking about why I'm taking so much time off from TBF. Well the truth is that my brother is coming into town this weekend and this'll be the last time I hang out with him for two years, So I want to spend these next couple of weeks hanging out with him. I'm not burnt out again or suffering from writers block or anything, I actually have at least five or six topics ready to go for when we return after the winter break ... I just want to spend time with my family.

Until Jan.12th,

TBF: The Holiday Controversy

"Stronger"
By: Trust Co.

Can you save me
or will you fail me now
it's almost over cause your fading out again...

Will you break me
or while you hold me down
I will escape you and I'll...
I'll push you closer to the ground
Cause your the one that's going down...

And I am stronger now
Since you crawled away,
you're so far away.
And I am stronger now
since you crawled away
Since you crawled away

Never gonna save me
you just shut me out
and now it's over cause I'm stepping out again

Never gonna break me
Just try to hold me down
I will escape you
And I'll push you closer to the ground
Cause your the one that's going down...

And I am stronger now
Since you crawled away,
you're so far away.
And I am stronger now
since you crawled away
Since you crawled away

You wanna tear me down
you wanna hold me down
you can't control me now
you cannot take me out
you cannot save me now
because I'm stronger now

And I am stronger now
Since you crawled away,
you're so far away.
And I am stronger now
since you crawled away
Since you crawled away

And I am stronger now
Since you crawled away,
you're so far away.
And I am stronger now
since you crawled away
Since you crawled away

You wanna tear me down
you wanna hold me down
you can't control me now
you cannot take me out
you cannot save me now
because I'm stronger now

It's amazing what can be started with one action. Great loves, war, peace, or something even more powerful. It's often in these moments where one action can open up a whole new door of opportunity, be it for the masses or for just one person. I learned this train of thought about one year ago and with one thought in my mind, I wrote down my feelings not for myself but instead I wrote about how their is a line of compromise between us as a whole and who we are as individuals and that line should be respected. From that one thought I spoke out, I started something inside that wouldn't let me stop and I ended up writing another and another until I created something genuine. I decide to call it...The Brian Factor.

So to help celebrate one year of crazy rants, For this week we're going back to where it all began with the column that started it all. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the first Brian Factor.....


DATED 12/20/05

Welcome to my last column of 2005, this is the Brian Factor...........(hold for applause)

Today the topic is: The Holiday Controversy

THE STORY:

Since the beginning of this month the big deal for our country has been the use of "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" now I normally would offer my two cents on this but I'm holding off until the end for my two cents. So the government namely the religious right want no other holidays reconized by America except christmas and many radical groups have called for boycotts on stores that say "Happy Holidays" or "Season's Greetings", while many say Happy Holidays on the grounds that they don't know who celebrates what holiday and they don't want to offend anyone yet they are judged for being open minded to other people's beliefs....

THE REASONING:

Many of the right wings want to turn us into one united christian front a devoted group to Jesus and God and no one else. They feel the only way we can achieve peace is to strip all that we were and basically follow the leader... So the first thing they want is to only celebrate Christmas as the one true holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus.......

MY TWO CENTS:

What the fuck is wrong with these people!!!!!

Look last time I checked the original settlers of our land came here to get away from this exact thing, they didn't want to be told what to believe in or who's God was the right one, they came to live their lives without fear of persecution of thier beliefs. While I am a Christmas man, I also respect another man's beliefs if they're not my own, one of the great things about our country is that we have a rich diversity of people who aren't afraid of they're heritage and proudly celebrate it whatever it was.... Out in the world there are about six holidays this time of year: Christmas, Kwanzaa, Chanukkah, Ramadan and well I forgot the rest but the point is this we all have different traditions, customs, beliefs that our families have upheld since before we were born, and now we have to change that just because it's not what you do......

Who the fuck do you think you are!!!!

I'm proud of my heritage, I'm proud of everyone who celebrate thier customs and legacy with open arms. It's what makes us a great land and it's what the founding fathers fought and died for: a land for all of us to celebrate together. almost every day this past weekend I've ended up at the mall and there I saw people thinking of others devoting the entire day for shopping for the ones they love, I even saw people shopping for people who celebrate different holidays so I don't see what's the big deal. The important thing is that we are giving of ourselves and spending time with those who we love that make us happy, even when we were struck with great tragedy, as a nation we came together and did what was right, if we can work together to help others when they need it... then i'm sure that we can celebrate the good times together. It's only together that we can grow as a society....

THANK YOU ALL AND.......HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!!!


Until Next.....Year,


-Brian

"Bust out the high end booze, we gonna party!!!!"

Marie and I are taking the rest of the year off and we're not back until Jan. 12th but we have a really good excuse....

So after years of back and forth ribbing and one sided flirting, and enough innuendo to support 26 sexual harrasment suits, Marie and I are tying the knot, as we speak we're off to Vegas to live our dream and have a Klingon wedding that will be precided by Capt. Kirk, (word is we can get Marie given away by Mr. Sulu, which really makes sense...since he's also the bridesmaid.)

We're registered at any comic book store in California, we're also registered also in "World of Warcraft" (don't ask me how, but it involves fighting an Ogre and winning a jewel)

I plan to be happy for six hours and then miserable for four weeks until we divorce.

While we're away we're gonna run "The Best of The Brian Factor", starting next Friday and continuing every Friday until we return my lovely new bride will choose her favorite columns from the past seasons. We're also going to make some minor changes here and there to the TBF site, nothing fancy and we'll give you a heads up on anything notable.

So I need to finish packing the cat-o-nine tails and the camera equipment for the....uh.... tourist attractions...hehehe


Until Next Time Kiddies,

Aww crap, she's mad about something....this is gonna be a looong day.

Brian's Song: Vicarious

When I listen to a song, it isn't about two- three and a half minutes of catchy rifts. For me when I hear a song it makes me think, about what I think about varies on the song. The good times with friends, the bad times with enemies, the love I had, the comtemplation of our own existence... shit, even just a quiet day hanging out on the grass chillin.

When you listen to Tool, it... blows your mind. their lyrics read like intense dreams or of twisted desires, or they provide you the help to look inside yourself and learn who and what you really are.

So for this week I've chosen Tool's Vicarious as this week's Brian's Song

"Vicarious"
By: Tool

Eye on the TV
'cause tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavor
It happens to be

Like:
"Killed by the husband"
"Drowned by the ocean"
"Shot by his own son"
"She used the poison in his tea
and kissed him goodbye"
That's my kind of story
It's no fun til someone dies.

Don't look me at like
I am a monster
Frown out your one face
But with the other
Stare like a junkie
Into the TV
Stare like a zombie
While the mother, holds her child
Watches him die
Hands to the sky cryin,
"Why, oh why?"

Cause I need to watch things die
From a distance
Vicariously, I
Live while the whole world dies
You all need it too - don't lie.

Why can't we just admit it?
Why can't we just admit it?
We won't give pause until the blood is flowin'
Neither the brave nor bold
Will write us the story so
We won't give pause until the blood is flowin'

I need to watch things die
From a good safe distance
Vicariously, I
Live while the whole world dies
You all feel the same so
Why can't we just admit it?

Blood like rain fallin' down
Drown on grave and ground

Part vampire
Part warrior
Carnivore and voyeur
Stare at the
transmitter
Sing to the death rattle

La, la, la, la, la, la, la-lie (x4)

Credulous at best
Your desire to believe in
Angels in the hearts of men.
But pull your head on out
Your head please and give a listen
Shouldn't have to say it all again

The universe is hostile
So impersonal
Devour to survive
So it is, so it's always been ...

We all feed on tragedy
It's like blood to a vampire

Vicariously, I
Live while the whole world dies
Much better you than I....

Echoes: Pornography

Question/ Comment Submitted By Marie:

Why do keep capitalizing the word "porn"? Do you consider it to be a proper noun? Are you so devoted to porn that you persist in breaking a commandment and idolizing pornography?

Just an innocent question. I got oddly angry when I had to keep un-capitalizing all those Ps. And I do know that you happen to mention porn entirely too often....


Response From Brian:

i don't know why I did that, I thought it was a good idea at the time and the irony is I was trying to avoid you going all "Grammar Nazi" on me. Somethings are just unavoidable I guess, the occassional goofs and the eventual run ins with Grammar Nazis.... Then I think to myself that it could be worse, I could run into real Nazis and I do not look good with my head shaved.


Poem Submitted By Angel Feathers Tickle Me:

Poised between counting one second and striking
another, you have found me again in your dreams. There
I dance like a blade of grass. Now I crouch under the
weight of a single butterfly that has decided to grace
me with her wings. Your dream explodes now. I stand in
your dream, between you and all that is you, holding a
mirror. Look at your reflection and gaze upon all that
was meant to be. Do you remember the dream where you
were caught by a tide in the instant of leaping, to
hurl yourself into the sky. I caught you when you fell
into the dreaming time. Now you too may become the
shape of the grass. You may ride the winds of time. I
give you the ability to turn like an owl and grasp at
the day, to burn like a nighthawk, to whirr like the
bee, to sing like the sea-eagle screaming out of the
sky. The wind will take you dreaming.....

But You Must Shape Your Dreams To Fly

Angel Feathers Tickle Me


Response From Brian:

She always knows where to tug on the old heart
strings... I'll need a minute to compose myself.


Question From Matt:

Three quick questions

1. What the craziest email you've ever gotten?

2. You showed an awful lot of knowledge on porn, so how much "research" did you do to prepare?

3. and finally was Marie there to help with the "research"?

HAHAHAHA


Response From Brian:

I'll Answer your questions from 3 to 1, starting with 2:

#2: I swear I only read the articles, there were no photos and thus i didn't..... anyway. I read articles in various encylopedias and magazine articles, I really prep now a days on TBF.

#3: No!!!!! Marie and I are just friends, She's happily coupled with a good man, and how do I know he's a good man?

Five minutes after meeting me, He offered to make me some pancakes

PANCAKES!!!!

You just can't top that kind of hospitality anywhere. Seriously though, he is a good man and she a good woman and together they make... good people. Besides Marie could do way better than yours truly... date-wise, work-wise? I'm her ideal partner. She's stuck with me and will remain til one of us dies.

#1: See Above, Keyword: Grammar Nazi

Actually I haven't gotten any crazy ones, it kinda bums me out that no one is crazy enough to write something trippy to me. The one email that tops my list of crazy emails is one that a fan sent to Trent Reznor (NIN) a couple of years ago. I found it and posted it here for you guys to read and gain your own perspective on the wonders of "eccentricity:

"Question Submitted by ************:

I like this "broken typewriter style." it reminds me of my family tree, the stuff my grandma typed up. The illusion of paper and ink lends a feeling of "realness" to the site, it's so very comforting and "booky" to me. i love the smudges... i love the smudges. do you know what this is doing to me? i am a book addict... this is a veritable sensory overload. you overwhelm me. you need a book link of some kind though... not a book seller either, something else. how many times did i use the word "book" in this paragraph? book, book. will you say "book" to me while we're having sex? mmm. no... not really... i actually want you to say "facetious" mmm. over and over and over and over again. say facetious, say it. say, "i love you, i think you are pulchritudinous and i am not being facetious," i could whip you with a cat-o-nine-tails if you it would help.

just keep it in mind.
it might fun.
oooooh.
i'm feeling playful today.

okay,
i'm finished now.
no more posting until next week.

may the force be with you
always is as it always is
and always was
directing you
and
guiding you
toward this very day
when you would find yourself
suddenly
above it all
seeing it all
seeing true meaning,
the threads of the fabric,
interwoven and endless,
guided by the silent hand
of the invisible repeating plan.
if all the planets aligned for us
would you know enough
to be able to feel it?
would you feel enough
to be able to feel it?
there is a greater picture here,
one you have been living in
one you have been conducting
you need never have feared
your cosmic unconsciousness
always knew the way home

xxx
ooo

Response from Trent:

um, was that a question?"

Brian's Song: Fuck the Pain Away

For the opener I chose this song because it is straight up in your face, you'll hear countless innuendo in music today but you never hear just straight up sex talk but she takes the rule book on innuendo and tosses it out the window. The key to Peaches' music is 4 simple parts:

Sex

Humor

Rock

Dance

After taking note of those key parts, you'll notice that her music takes the all the fun of tongue and cheek lyrics and turns it into an art. She's definitely a great live performer and was even given props from many people and is definitely a great hidden jewel. So for those reasons and more I choose Peaches' "Fuck The Pain Away" as this week's

BRIAN'S SONG

"Fuck The Pain Away"
By Peaches

Sucking on my titties like you wanted me
Calling me, all the time like Blondie

Soundboard: Better Late than Never

"Better Late Than Never"

Thanks to everyone's kudos for this week's Brian Factor, I know it's long but you gotta admit there's just so much you can talk about when it involves Porn. I even had MORE to say but I gave you guys the short version.

Also thanks to everyone for your show of support in regards to my Mother's health, I'm happy to report that she's back to tip top shape and is already starting to kick some ass and take some names....

This coming Friday will still be "Echoes" because next week is very important to me, so we have to stay on schedule, so you guys know what to do: feedback, Q & A, Etc. Whatever you got, we're more than up for it this Friday.

"We're Getting Bigger And Better!!!"

People always dig the songs I put up each week and combine that with my posting of a Tool song a couple weeks ago just for kicks and I came up with a idea. I have thousands of songs that I think are some of the best music around and to help put a spotlight on it, starting on Wed. we're unveiling a new addition to TBF site, I call it....

"Brian's Song"

Every couple of weeks I'll post up a new song for you to enjoy as well as the link to that artist's website. You'll hear many artists that most of you've never heard of. As always the only requirement is that check it out with an open mind, then if you like what you hear, then you can click the link and find out more about them and if it ain't your cup of tea then at least you can say that you tried something new and it didn't work. Thus everybody wins....

"Brian's Song" begins this Wed. so whip out your lighters and let's rock Bitch!!!!!

TBF: Pornography

"Closer" (Nine Inch Nails)

You let me violate you
You let me desecrate you
You let me penetrate you
You let me complicate you
Help me
I broke apart my insides
Help me
I've got no soul to sell
Help me
The only thing that works for me
Help me get away from myself

I wanna fuck you like an animal
I wanna feel you from the inside
I wanna fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to god

You can have my isolation
You can have the hate that it brings
You can have my absence of faith
You can have my everything
Help me
Tear down my reason
Help me
It's your sex I can smell
Help me
You make me perfect
Help me become somebody else

I wanna fuck you like an animal
I wanna feel you from the inside
I wanna fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to god

All through every forest
Above the trees
Within my stomach
Scraped off my knees
I drink the honey
Inside your hive
You are the reason
I stay alive


Imagine it's morning, a woman wakes up, makes breakfast for her family, gives her kids a kiss on the cheek, kisses her husband and leaves for work...

Two hours later that same woman is on all fours on a pool table taking it in the back from a random man while giving a blow job to another man in front of her...

So she goes and fucks all these guys for a day, takes a shower then comes home to make dinner, it's kinda a trip to imagine the pillow talk at the end of the day to her husband.

I'm gonna guess that took you by surprise, and no I didn't describe some twisted dream in the back of my head, That whole scenario is actually the routine for this woman... because she is a porn star.

In today's society pornography has become as common as well...Internet Blogs..(Uh-Oh).

While there are many organizations that are against the idea of pornography, the fact is that porn has been around for hundreds of years. In fact when you think about it, porn is just sex and sex has been around longer than anything else in the world. Sex has been around before the Romans, before the Egyptians... Hell, way before the days of Babylon and Mesopotamia and yet people have issues with it...

Well this time around I've got something to say and I'm gonna say it, so this week on The Brian Factor...

We're talking: PORNOGRAPHY!!!!

That's right so boys whip out those bottles of Jergen's and ladies make sure you got fresh batteries...

Pornography:

Taken from the Greek words "porni" and "grafi" which together translates to "prostitute writing"... kinda makes sense... I guess.

DEFINITION

More informally referred to as porn or porno, Pornography is the representation of the human body or sexual activity with the goal of sexual arousal. It is similar to, but distinct from erotica, though the two terms are often used interchangeably.

In general, "erotica" refers to portrayals of sexually arousing material that hold or aspire to artistic or historical merit, whereas "pornography" often connotes the prurient depiction of sexual acts, with little or no artistic value. The line between "erotica" and the term "pornography" (which is frequently considered a pejorative) is often highly subjective. In practice, pornography can be defined merely as erotica that is perceived as "obscene". The definition of what one considers obscene
can differ among persons, cultures and eras. This leaves legal actions by those who oppose pornography open to wide interpretation.

Pornography may use any of a variety of media — printed literature, photos, sculpture, drawings, sound recording, film or video, and may even be performed in a live venue, possibly in front of a live audience. Notably, all of the above may be found on the Internet.

Pornography can also be contrasted with ribaldry, which uses sexual titillation in the service of comedy. The definition of pornography is highly subjective, with generally accepted works of art such as Michelangelo's David being considered pornographic by some people. In a sense therefore, the definition of pornography is as much (or more) to do with the viewer's motive and response, as with the actual material, content or creator's intention.

While imagery of sex has existed for thousands of years, porn as we know it started in it's earliest form during the Victorian era. Early printings that came out recalled the vast exploits of retired or very skilled (often both) prostitutes to serve as the very first Public Service Announcements and was even defined as such in Websters until 1905 when the definition was changed to what we now know it to be.

Over time porn obtained a small following but it was around the second half of the 20th century when porn became a completely different machine entirely. The 50's and 60's brought out racy pics and gentlemen clubs but the 60's helped to push the idea for porn with the already existing concepts of free love and experimentation. With that, porn theaters popped up and then in the 70's things really started going with two very controversial yet impactful films: "Deep Throat" and "Debbie Does Dallas". It brought porn more into the mainstream and in my opinion I think it made the allure of porn what it is today... originally you had a man and a woman have sex on film and before that just a woman going about her day just naked but now people are more daring and thus their porn has to be more daring. Now there are 12 sub categories of porn today:

1 Age-oriented pornography
2 Anal pornography
3 Bisexual pornography
4 Body-feature oriented pornography
5 Bondage/BDSM pornography
6 Fetish pornography
7 Gay pornography
8 Group pornography
9 Lesbian pornography
10 Race-oriented pornography
11 Reality porn
12 Other

I don't know about you guys but I am in no rush to inquire about the "Other".

OBJECTIFICATION OF WOMEN? OR IT'S OPPOSITE?

Naturally a common subject is the objectifying of women, first let us clarify that the use of underage girls is just straight up wrong!!!!!! Girls who are forced into the business as sex slaves equally wrong!!!! As for the women of age and who choose to do it willingly, there is no objectification, no exploitation, no victim and there is no crime, they chose to do it. No matter how much or little they know about the risks, in the end it's still up to you on what to do with it. Back in the old days it was what you'd expect: Bunch of men convince a naive actress into working porn and pay them almost next to nothing and in comparison to now, actually mainstream porn is now a female dominated business, many female stars are paid almost triple what men in the business make and they branch out into behind the scenes and now women are the producers, the directors, they're the managers of other stars and we've even had some branch out into mainstream Hollywood (look at Jenna Jameson and even Traci Lords) and you just can't argue it. Porn is a multi-billion dollar industry, and the ladies are getting a huge chunk of that pie.

MY TWO CENTS

The arguements of PRO and CON are limitless, those for will claim that the human body is beautiful work of art and that it should never be hidden away and that sex is in our nature, and that porn is just a tool no different than mainstream Hollywood films to install a sense of fantasy in the veiwer. Those against will claim that it is not God's way or that sex is something only appropriate behind closed doors, or my favorite claim: that it is the root of all human perversion.

BRIAN'S QUICKFIRE RESPONSES TO ALL CLAIMS:

I admit that the human body is something that should be admired and respected, and many people are proud of what they got and like to flaunt, to them I say be proud and go live. That's why I've always admired nudists, rain or shine (which usually means for the guys "nuts or no nuts" depending on how cold it is) they're proud of what they got. We come into the world nude, you see yourself naked everyday in the shower. I'm not saying we should walk around naked!!! What I am saying is that a naked body is nothing to be afraid of or something to be offended by.

As for the arguement that all sex should be behind close doors, well that's touch and go. Though I'll admit I don't want to take the bus one day and see two people going at it using a "reverse cowgirl". Mainly cause that takes two seats and then I'm stuck standing the whole time. you should want privacy when you have sex, but if you're into voyuerism then you do what you gotta do.

Porn doesn't make a rapist, I hate that arguement, as a guy you have a million horemones running through you and those who are rapists were already fucked up to begin with, they got rejected for sex and went mental, I'll bet had they watched the Texas Chainsaw Massacre instead of Debbie Does Dallas, then they'd be pyschopaths who chop people up

Not everything that's availible now is the worse in porn, back in 1790 the Marquis De Sade wrote "120 Days Of Sodom" basic story on it, Four rich guys get thier own daughters, four men, four ederly prostitues and sixteen children varying in age from 7 to 16, lock everyone and themselves in a castle and do some of the most twisted perverse sexual acts you could ever imagine. It's a really fucked up book that will definietly scare the kinky outta you. Compared to modern day, porn now is extremely tame.

We all know sex, everyone who reads this column's had it (except me but I'm me so moving on) and really is it sooooo bad?

Finally I'll say it again cause it's one point that can never get through to most people: Compared to the rest of the world... WE ARE RELATIVELY TAME!!! In Austrailia thier soap operas are SOFT CORE PORN, you'll see stuff that you see usually on Cinemax after dark. They have Naked News in Russia, in South America their kid's shows have big breasted women in bikinis displaying numbers and other shit "COUNT THE BOUNCING BOOBS...ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX... HEY I CAN COUNT!!!" Yet here if a woman's breast is exposed then it's a huge deal, if we see pics of Britney Spears' junk because she forgot panties then STOP THE PRESSES!!

If you don't like something than don't associate with it, everybody likes their something and that something is always different to everyone. There's a whole lot that we don't see and know because no one brings attention to it, and honestly sometimes that's a good thing....

Soundboard

Early Thursday night I had to take my mother to the hospital for sudden illness.

I am glad to report that she is fine now and at home resting comfortably.

I'm sorry that I couldn't keep my promise but I'm busting ass to finish TBF for a late Friday-early Saturday posting as you read this.

If anything comes up I'll relay a message to Marie who'll foward it to you guys.

Thank you for your understanding,
Brian Rodriguez
