All my life I’ve come across stupid people, I’ve come to expect people to be stupid, and I’m usually not let down by that assumption. When I find intelligent people I treasure them like Eskimos would treasure electric blankets covered in whale fat powered by a bucket sized cold fusion reactor. Of course I use the web more than is healthy, that’s one reason I always speak to stupid people, this is all fine and something I take in my stride. It’s when you come across people that aren’t meant to be stupid yet are that you lose that little faith you had left in humanity.

The indigenous people of Alaska have stood firm against some of the most extreme weather conditions on Earth for thousands of years. But now, flooding blamed on climate change is forcing at least one Eskimo village to move to safer ground.Floodwaters rip through the village of Newtok, Alaska, destroying its infrastructure.Authorities have ordered about 340 residents of the tiny coastal village of Newtok to move to new homes 9 miles away, up the Ninglick River. The village, home to indigenous Yup'ik Eskimos, is the first of possibly scores of threatened Alaskan communities that could be abandoned.Warming temperatures are melting coastal ice shelves and frozen sub-soils, which act as natural barriers to protect the village against summer deluges from ocean storm surges."We are seeing the erosion, flooding and sinking of our village right now," said Stanley Tom, a Yup'ik Eskimo and tribal administrator for the Newtok Traditional Council.The crisis is unique because its devastating effects creep up on communities, eating away at their infrastructure, unlike with sudden natural disasters such as wildfires, earthquakes or hurricanes.Newtok is just one example of what the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warns is part of a growing climate change crisis that will displace 150 million people by 2050.The group says indigenous peoples in Asia, Central America and Africa are threatened by shifting environmental conditions blamed on climate change."We will not be able to survive"Tom's ancestors have been living in the region for centuries, he said."Our land is our resource, our source of food; it's our country. We live off of it. If we go to another village or city, we will not be able to survive," Tom said.The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has estimated that moving Newtok could cost $130 million. Twenty-six other Alaskan villages are in immediate danger, with an additional 60 considered under threat in the next decade, according to the corps.The village crisis is taking place as more than 400 indigenous people from 80 nations gather 500 miles (800 kilometers) away in Anchorage, Alaska, at the first Indigenous Peoples' Global Summit on Climate Change.The conference aimed to address global issues effecting indigenous communities like the Yup'ik Eskimos. The five-day summit also hoped to raise global awareness about the crisis facing these indigenous communities and to help them speak with a more unified voice, said Patricia Cochran, chairwoman of the Inuit Circumpolar Council, which hosted the event.U.N. scientists have long blamed increases in average global temperatures on the emission of excess greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide by industry and the burning of petroleum-based fuel.Summit delegates will work on a declaration outlining the climate change-related issues facing indigenous people. The declaration will be agreed upon Friday and presented at the Conference of Parties United Framework Convention on Climate Change in Copenhagen, Denmark, in December."On the international level, the meeting in Copenhagen at the end of the year is incredibly important, it will lay down the road map on how we tackle climate change and who gets to be involved," said Sam Johnston of Tokyo, Japan-based United Nations University, a co-sponsor of the summit."Climate change poses threats and dangers to the survival of indigenous communities worldwide, even though they contribute least to greenhouse emissions," United Nations General Assembly President Miguel D'Escoto said at the summit.Climate change, conference delegates say, is threatening the traditional lifestyles of indigenous peoples around the world. Specific environmental threats include droughts, sea level rise, warmer temperatures; lack of rainfall, flooding and loss of biodiversity, climatologists say. The specific combination of threats varies by region.For example, in the island nation of Papua New Guinea, an increase in population growth coupled with rising sea levels is decreasing the amount of crop land making farming very difficult for the indigenous people of the region, according to the U.N.In the African nation of Kenya, the Samburu tribe is on the verge of a food and economic crisis, the U.N. said, as lengthy droughts kill livestock that provides income and sustenance for the community.In Mexico, highland Mayan farmers are fighting to survive amid decreasing rainfall, unseasonal frost and unprecedented changes in daytime temperatures, the U.N. reported. These conditions are forcing the farmers to plant alternative crops and to search for other sources of irrigation."We are the ones that are the most effected" by climate change, said Saul Vicente-Vasquez, a Mexican economist and longtime human rights activist for indigenous peoples."Climigration" refers to the forced and permanent migration of communities because of severe climate change effects on essential infrastructure. This differs from migration caused by catastrophic environmental events such as hurricanes and earthquakes. The concept of "climigration" implies that there is no possibility of these communities returning home, said Alaskan human rights lawyer Robin Bronen, who coined the term."There needs to be a new institutional framework that is created, that's based in human rights doctrines ... that facilitates relocations," Bronen said.Back in Newtok, village leaders continue to work with federal and state representatives while they plan to relocate."We have a new village, but we don't have all the funding that the village needs to move right now," said Sally Russell Cox planner with the Alaska division of community and regional affairs.If the crisis worsens and forces an emergency evacuation, Cox said officials want to provide "a safe place to go if they need to get out of the village."As for Tom, he said he's looking forward to getting it over with. "We hope to move to the new village site and be able to get on with regular life."

An American decided to write a book about famous churches around the world.So he bought a plane ticket and took a trip to Orlando, thinking that he would start by working his way across the USA from South to North, then into Canada and on to the rest of the world.On his first day he was inside a church taking photographs when he noticed a golden telephone mounted on the wall with a sign that read '$10,000 per call'.The American, being intrigued, asked a priest who was strolling by what the telephone was used for.The priest replied that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 you could talk to God. The American thanked the priest and went along his way.Next stop was in Atlanta. There, at a very large cathedral, he saw the same golden telephone with the same sign under it. He wondered if this was the same kind of telephone he saw in Orlando and he asked a nearby nun what its purpose was.She told him that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 he could talk to God.'O.K., thank you,' said the American.He then travelled all across America, Europe,England,Japan,Australia.In every church he saw the same golden telephone with the same '$US10,000 per call' sign under it.The American, decided to travel to New Zealand to see if Kiwis had the same phone.He arrived in South Otago in N.Z. And again, in the first church he entered, there was the same golden telephone, but this time the sign under it read '40 cents per call.'The American was surprised so he asked the priest about the sign.'Father, I've travelled all over the world and I've seen this same golden telephone in many churches. I'm told that it is a direct line to Heaven, but in all of them price was $10,000 per call.Why is it so cheap here?'The priest smiled and answered,'You're in New Zealand now son - it's a local call'.KEEP SMILINGIf you are proud to be a Kiwi pass this on!

Christoph Schlingensief
Strange how now that he is a dying man for the first time I find myself appreciating something he is doing. So far most of his art (although I have to admit that I did not take the time to really take a closer look) seemed rather on the selfish side, always more or less experiments about how to make the audience aware of himself or how to imprint a piece of himself on others.
Of course this is still exactly what he is doing but it seems that now he has found something in himself that is so overwhelmingly beyond his control and at the same time so applicable and generally true for so many others. And I admire him for attempting to put this into words and have people take a look at what nobody wants to look at.
Disease, that is not a subject most artists take a liking to. Death -great! Suffering - bring it on! But disease - no thanks. Exploding has always been more interesting than waning, but let's face it: most of us do wane, only few of us explode.

Anyone But You

Posted by PrttyBrd on April 20, 2009 at 9:47am

Blame it on bad timing or the weatherBlame it on traffic or your kidsBlame it on whatever is handyBlame it on someone elseBecause God forbid you see fault in yourselfTo be responsible for your own actions regardless of the outcomeThere are worse things in life than an honest mistake or bad choicesBut to be blind to the fact that they are choices you yourself madeOr to close your eyes and pretend that unforeseeable mistakes did not happenAnd seeing the outcome effect othersWell, that's just a weight not worth bearingSo man up and take the fall since it was you who stumbledDon't take anyone along for the rideYou will find that you won't be alone on your journeyBut that decision is yours alone to makeLiving in denial of self, with no trust and no heart will never lead to happiness

Time Saving

Posted by PrttyBrd on April 20, 2009 at 9:39am

Is cutting corners to save time worth the effort? There never seems to be enough time no matter what you do to save it. So I say spend as much as you can. Spend time with young minds and innocent hearts. Take the time to give that extra smile to make someone's day. A tiny bit here and there will not be lost, for so much is gained in those small yet giving moments. After all, when a bit of time is saved, it is usually spent doing nothing. so what was it saved for in the first place?

Remembrance

Posted by Lewis on April 19, 2009 at 2:27am

Well Jesus Christ all-fucking-mighty, I completely forgot Waste Central was here. I'm glad to see that this dark corner of the internet still acts as a hub for the emotionally tormented, the chronically self-aware, the photophobic and the erythrophobic. We Radiohead fans, basically. Note: must soon retreat to bedroom to write song with complicated chord structure and lyrics concerning my restricted anal-faecal development and subsequent neuroticism. It will be called No One Understands Me So I Wear A Hat.

Mi experiencia en el primer concierto de Radiohead

Posted by Maureen on April 18, 2009 at 11:20pm

Llegué desde las diez de la mañana, me encuentro que eso de que había mucha gente que se había quedado a acampar, fue una GRAN mentira, había MUY poquita gente desde que llegué, por los nervios no pude almorzar bien y mucho menos comer, lo que sabía que iba a pagar en el concierto! Además de que por tres días dormí como tres horas! rolleyes.gifLo bueno de haber llegado temprano es que me tocó escuchar cuando la banda estuvo en las pruebas de audio! Y escuché algunas de las canciones que tocaron más tarde, por cierto ensayaron Climbing up the walls, pero no la tocaron! Supongo que la tocarán hoy!Ya entrando al concierto, me empecé a sentir MUY mal, no tenía practicamente nada en el estómago y me fue imposible conseguir algo que no tuviera carne! Creí que me iba a desmayar, pero no me lo permití! por nada me iba a perder este concierto, y no sé como fregados le hice pero aguanté todo el concierto!Cuando salió Kraftwerk me sentía en la antesala al paraíso! Honestamente creí que me iba a aburrir con ellos pero fue mejor de lo que esperaba! Cuando empezaron a montar el escenario de Radiohead, ver la Telecaster de Jonny casi me da un infarto!Minutos después ver salir a la banda! WOW! No tenía idea de cual iba a ser mi reacción y me pusé a llorar como niña chiquita! Empezó 15 step, baile, salté y moví la cabeza como loca, me sorpendió mucho que tocaran Airbag, tal vez por que inconcientemente no quería que la tocaran! Me hizo llorar desde el principio pero contuve las lágrimas!Me tocó casi en valla frente a Ed! Que sexy es él y sus movimientos de cadera! Colin como siempre efusivo, a Phil lo vi muy poco, y Jonny amo y señor de la guitarra! Thom tan lindo como siempre, y que SENSUAL fue cuando canto Nude!En Optimistic sentía que me desmayaba pero seguía moviéndome para mantenerme en pie! Por suerte siguió "Idioteque", fue INCREÍBLE! pero creo que faltó algo de emoción! wacko.gif Fake Plastic Trees, le rogué a todos los dioses que la tocaran y se me concedió! Se me llenaron los ojos de lágrimas con las últimas líneas: "If I could be who you wanted...."Sabía que iban a tocar Videotape, siempre me ha hecho llorar esa canción y no me pude contener, lloré y lloré y lloré, por lo que muchos me vieron con cara de "pobrecita", pero me valió!Cuando empezó Everything in its right place, me sentí como cenicienta cuando dan las doce! Me quedé con MUCHAS ganas de escuchar "How to disappear completely", aunque tal vez estuvo bien que no la tocaron por que con esa de plano no sólo iba a llorar, me da un ataque de llanto que hasta el aire se me va! mellow.Terminando le dije a mi hermano que me guiará hasta el bar para comprar agua, y me sumergí en el mar de gente que había en donde vendieron los productos de WASTE, que por cierto creo que ofrecieron muy pocos productos,todo para olvidarme por un momento que ese día mágico había terminado y no acordarme de que hoy no voy al segundo concierto! :( Pero ahora que llegué a casa, quiero llorar y llorar de alegría de saber que POR FIN pudé ver a Radiohead! Y obviamente no será la última vez!
