Fire Worshipping
As you all know, I am willing to answer any and all requests. With respect to the following, I've been shocked and alarmed (and really quite horrified) that not a single blog reader has requested this topic. But finally the ice has been broken, so I'll speak to the issue.
Request: barney97876 (9:52:08 AM): michael, the people have come to me asking for a new blog from you, preferably on growing anti-semitism in france, it's the holidays, for god's sake, appease the masses
Not a problem. I'm an expert in this matter. The truth is that In no other country in Western Europe have physical and verbal attacks against Jews and Jewish community life been more intense and sustained than in France. A recently published book by the Union of Jewish Students of France and the human rights group, SOS Racism, placed the number of anti-Semitic incidents in the country between September 1, 2000, and January 31, 2002, at 405, which they describe as the greatest surge of anti-Semitism in France since World War II. These are part of what one French Jewish leader has described as the "daily acts of anti-Semitism" taking place in France today. This violence has been directed against individual Jews and Jewish institutions. One of the more sinister forms has been the torching of synagogues, making Jewish houses of worship fair game for the practitioners of the "new anti-Semitism."
Of course, we here at Dominion of Cool fully support anti-semitism in any form. We also support anti-Christianism, anti-Muslimism, anti-Buddhism, anti-Voodooism, anti-Hinduism, anti-Mysticism, anti-Primitivism, anti-Nihilism, and so on and so forth. That is because we here at Dominion of Cool (who have dabbled with the Tibetin Book of the Dead, as well as ancient Greek and Roman rituals and beliefs) have finally discovered and enjoined ourselves to the ancient Zarathushtra religion. For those of you who aint in the know, the Advent of Zarathushtra was Cosmic Manifestation of the Divine Plan for the new cycle of evolution of mankind. Zarathushtra was the first world teacher who gave ethical conception to religion. The Illustrious Master of Wisdom Zarathushtra, solves the problem of evil and declares that evil is not an entity or a being, rather it is only the twin mentality and relativity in the human mind, Vohu Manah the positive, constructive Good Mind and Ako-Mano the negative, distractive Evil Mind. If you're still confused, just remember that there is no Cosmic dualism in the original fundamental Pure Monotheistic teachings of Zarathushtra.
But honestly, all of that shit is perfeclty well and good in its own special little way, but the truth of why we here at Dominion of Cool have taken up the Zarathustra faith is because it believes firmly in fire worship. We just think that's a good idea. More people should worship fire. Am I right? I guess we should just let it speak for itself - "Through this fire man can realize God and experience bliss. Breath is fire and fire is life. Thus, fire worship is reverence for all life everywhere."
Well, that was fun. But enough of this blasphemy.
As expected, I received almost nothing this Christmas aside from books and movies. But they were cool books and movies, so I'm not completely nerdy. Just somewhat nerdy.
And I did get the Godfather DVD Box Set, which is - well - its just fucking great.

AllofMP3.com update: I have now downloaded nearly 300 songs for less than $25. All CD quality versions. To put that in perspective, if one were to download the same quantity of songs through ITunes Music Store, one would have spent nearly $300. I continue to stand gaping in awe that more people have not made use of this yet. But suit yourselves.
A brief recent history of Colin Farrell's brilliant filmography...
1. The Recruit - the film in which I first became aware of this pussy. Embarrassed, humiliated, out-acted in every respect by an astronomically superior Pacino.
2. Dare Devil - stick your mug in a film with Ben Affleck these days, and you're just admitting that you don't know how to pick a script.
3. Phone Booth - to speak further to that last point, witness this additional disaster of a movie. (Warning - heavy sarcasm ensuing) What a brilliant idea! Shoot an entire movie in a phone booth! Its different, so it must be artistic! And in no way is it mind-boggilingly, thoughtlessly, numbingly, and painfully stupid!
4. Alexander - Put yourself in a movie directeed by Oliver Stone these days and you're begging for trouble. Not to mention a movie that stars you (a fruitcake) as the greatest military commander in history. And even better, lets have an Irish guy play the role of the world's most famous Greek (with due respect being allowed for Achilles and Homer). And even better yet - lets not pay any attention to historical evidence or any of that boring old shit, and lets just make the movie any which way we want, and depict Alexander any which way we want. Then we'll just stand around and bitch when critics and moviegoers alike dismiss the movie as a hump of rotting sewage.
Well, if it isn't obvious enough already - I FUCKING HATE COLIN FARRELL. I think he perfectly embodies everything that is wrong with the current entertainment industry. (Ooooh, but he's a fucking badass because he drinks beer). What he is, quite simply, is a shame to Irish people everywhere, and someone should smash in his face with a bottle of Jameson.

All joking aside, Nihilism is certainly worth considering. However, it fails ultimately due to its tendency for radicalism and destruction (AKA - "We believe in nothing, Lebowski! Nothing!"). But perhaps Existentialism, then. Perhaps. Basically, its a legitimate concept, the idea that everything is meaningless - or more crudely - everything is a lot of bullshit. Call it cynicism or whatever floats your toy boat, but I'm not impressed by all the Universe's bullshit. I think its all a lotta crap. Things come and go. That's the gist of it.
I NEEEEEEEEEEED SOME FUUUUUUUUCKING HOCKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My best friend is a Blue Adidas sweatshirt, and my worst enemy is an open bar tab.
Thats it for today. Please leave a comment, chums. I solicit them because they make writing these damn things worthwhile. Don't let me down.
A Presto
