My O Face
Last night I went and checked out the Blue Man Group at the US Airways Center in Phoenix. I've seen their Vegas show before so I somewhat knew what to expect. I was curious as to who the opening act was. The first 30 minutes of the show I was amazed. This really good dj/ vj by the name of Mike Relm was the opening act for the night.
Very impressive stuff:

Soy Is Making Kids Gay
There's a slow poison out there that's severely damaging our children and threatening to tear apart our culture. The ironic part is, it's a "health food," one of our most popular.
Now, I'm a health-food guy, a fanatic who seldom allows anything into his kitchen unless it's organic. I state my bias here just so you'll know I'm not anti-health food.
The dangerous food I'm speaking of is soy. Soybean products are feminizing, and they're all over the place. You can hardly escape them anymore.
I have nothing against an occasional soy snack. Soy is nutritious and contains lots of good things. Unfortunately, when you eat or drink a lot of soy stuff, you're also getting substantial quantities of estrogens.
Estrogens are female hormones. If you're a woman, you're flooding your system with a substance it can't handle in surplus. If you're a man, you're suppressing your masculinity and stimulating your "female side," physically and mentally.
In fetal development, the default is being female. All humans (even in old age) tend toward femininity. The main thing that keeps men from diverging into the female pattern is testosterone, and testosterone is suppressed by an excess of estrogen.
If you're a grownup, you're already developed, and you're able to fight off some of the damaging effects of soy. Babies aren't so fortunate. Research is now showing that when you feed your baby soy formula, you're giving him or her the equivalent of five birth control pills a day. A baby's endocrine system just can't cope with that kind of massive assault, so some damage is inevitable. At the extreme, the damage can be fatal.
Soy is feminizing, and commonly leads to a decrease in the size of the penis, sexual confusion and homosexuality. That's why most of the medical (not socio-spiritual) blame for today's rise in homosexuality must fall upon the rise in soy formula and other soy products. (Most babies are bottle-fed during some part of their infancy, and one-fourth of them are getting soy milk!) Homosexuals often argue that their homosexuality is inborn because "I can't remember a time when I wasn't homosexual." No, homosexuality is always deviant. But now many of them can truthfully say that they can't remember a time when excess estrogen wasn't influencing them.
Doctors used to hope soy would reduce hot flashes, prevent cancer and heart disease, and save millions in the Third World from starvation. That was before they knew much about long-term soy use. Now we know it's a classic example of a cure that's worse than the disease. For example, if your baby gets colic from cow's milk, do you switch him to soy milk? Don't even think about it. His phytoestrogen level will jump to 20 times normal. If he is a she, brace yourself for watching her reach menarche as young as seven, robbing her of years of childhood. If he is a boy, it's far worse: He may not reach puberty till much later than normal.
Research in 2000 showed that a soy-based diet at any age can lead to a weak thyroid, which commonly produces heart problems and excess fat. Could this explain the dramatic increase in obesity today?
Recent research on rats shows testicular atrophy, infertility and uterus hypertrophy (enlargement). This helps explain the infertility epidemic and the sudden growth in fertility clinics. But alas, by the time a soy-damaged infant has grown to adulthood and wants to marry, it's too late to get fixed by a fertility clinic.
Worse, there's now scientific evidence that estrogen ingredients in soy products may be boosting the rapidly rising incidence of leukemia in children. In the latest year we have numbers for, new cases in the U.S. jumped 27 percent. In one year!
There's also a serious connection between soy and cancer in adults – especially breast cancer. That's why the governments of Israel, the UK, France and New Zealand are already cracking down hard on soy.
In sad contrast, 60 percent of the refined foods in U.S. supermarkets now contain soy. Worse, soy use may double in the next few years because (last I heard) the out-of-touch medicrats in the FDA hierarchy are considering allowing manufacturers of cereal, energy bars, fake milk, fake yogurt, etc., to claim that "soy prevents cancer." It doesn't.
P.S.: Soy sauce is fine. Unlike soy milk, it's perfectly safe because it's fermented, which changes its molecular structure. Miso, natto and tempeh are also OK, but avoid tofu.

Doc Of The Bay
My friend asked me the other day to write up directions to some cool spots in SF & Berkeley. Figured it could help someone else too.
get off at university in Berkeley and turn left
go all the way till it dead ends at the college and turn right at Shattuck ave
turn left at Durant ave
go up about 3 ½ blocks and there will parking plaza on the right hand side
exit parking garage on the same side you came in and walk ½ block east
you will walk up to telegraph ave and then turn right
fat slice will be about ½ block up on the left hand side and head shop w/ big ass bong will be right across the street
keep walking south on telegraph for about 4 or 5 blocks and there will be many other random shops (amoeba, Rasputin, head shops, tattoos, etc.)
walk back to car and hopefully you remembered to get your parking ticket validated
exit garage towards your left and then turn right onto haste street
take that back to Shattuck ave and then turn right
turn left onto university and take that till you get back i80 west towards san fran
FROM HERE I’ll direct you to your HOTEL
Take the Fremont street exit and turn left
It will kind of circle around but is still Fremont
Eventually it will turn into Front st. once you pass over Market
One block up, turn left onto Pine street
Go up approx. 7 blocks and turn left onto Stockton Street
Go up 1 block and turn left on bush street
Hotel des Arts is about 1 ½ blocks up on Bush
TOWARDS HAIGHT/ ASHBURY & GOLDEN GATE PARK (japanese tea garden/ art museum, etc.)
Head east on Bush street
Turn left Kearny street
Go up 1 block and turn left at Pine street
Go another 12 blocks and turn left at Van Ness
Go up 7 blocks and turn right at geary blvd
Drive for a bit and Turn left at stanyan street
9 blocks up is haight street
but you want to go another block and a half and on the right hand side will be a parking lot, that is right next to, what looks like a basketball gym or something
if you walk north back to height street and turn right, and if you walk for blocks there are amoeba, more fat slice, giant/ kid robot/ villains, anything else you can think of)
to the left of where haight st. is, is golden gate park
pretty much I can’t give directions while in the park but drive around (there are signs) for Japanese tea garden, wild buffalo, etc. sure you will figure it out
once you are done in that area, the real bay area ocean is not far away
get back on Geary and turn left
go all the way until it dead ends and turn left
you’ll pass a cliffhouse restaurant on the right and if you continue, there will be many many beach stops you pull over at
JUST PICK!
Once you are on geary and you pass over Park Presidio (aka highway 1), and make your first right then your first left, you will be on Clement Street
If you go west on Clement Street, eventually on your left hand side is that crazy fish store but its not far from where you start
Once clement dead ends, either turn around if you haven’t found the store, or turn left then make your first left or right to get back on Geary (left if you want the ocean, right if you want the city)
CHINATOWN
Turn onto bush going east and then turn onto Kearny st
Go up 1 block & turn right onto grant street
Go 7 blocks and turn left and find parking (you’re in the middle of Chinatown)
Mmmkay…that waffle house I could not get the name right for directions but if ound general area (any moron can find it haha)
Head east on bush street
Turn left on kearny street
Go 1 block and turn left on Pine Street
Go 1 more block & turn right on Grant ave
Turn left on Columbus ave
Drive a bunch of blocks
Once you pass over Bay Street, start looking on your left for that waffle place. It will be somewhere between bay and when you dead end. PAY Attention!!!
NIGHTLIFE
Height ashbury area has a bunch of clubs & shit
But if you go bush, to Kearny, to pine street, and take that until Polk street
At Bush & Kearny, there a bomb ass fish & chips place called 7up Fish & Chips, and if you’re in the mood for martini’s, go to Club Bush at the same intersection area
Pretty much you can cruise Haight Street and find a bunch of cool shit
Magnolia Brewery @ 1398 Haight St.

Within the couple of blocks on each side of Hanabi, there are many head shops, restaurants, & shopping
JAPANtown
If you head down Pine street, make a left @ Gough
Go 5 blocks and turn right onto Geary Blvd
Go until you reach fillmore and turn right
Turn right into the parking garage and you are right under the japantown mall
EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE CITY IS TOURISTY AREA or maybe I forgot how cool it is. If I remember anything else worth stopping at, I’ll let you know, otherwise enjoy your stay & have fun.
