Why I love Jeremy Vaeni Part Duex



If you are not yet a subscriber to the podcast Paratopia, I strongly recommend it. Jeremy Vaeni is, in my personal opinion, the most entertaining personality to have hit the paranormal field since, well, I don't know...Phillip Klass? Bill Cooper? Ray Santilli? Linda Molting Howell? I'm not sure, but he's pretty damned entertaining if you ask me.

Jeremy is what we like to call nowadays an 'experiencer'. That's the politically correct term. Like, say, you are no longer supposed to call midgets, well midgets, you call them 'little people'. Well, nobody calls Jeremy a little person, nor do they call him an alien abductee, but in a polite way we describe him simply as an 'experiencer'. An experiencer of exactly what remains to be seen.

Here is my question to you. Let's say, just for the sake of argument, weird shit starts happening to you. What would you do? How would you deal with it? Well, I have seen people react in a whole lot of different ways to this sort of thing, but I have never seen anyone deal with it the way Jeremy has.

Jeremy has brought his tremendous sense of humor to the situation; he has an incredible self deprecating air and he easily grants that things he is experiencing are as bizarre, indescribable, stupid, and crazy as any non-experiencer might choose to describe someone else. Nevertheless, in the end, it is, in fact, happening to him.

So, what is a self-deprecating comedian supposed to do when he thinks he is being abducted by alien entities, origin unknown, or having his mind and body taken over by unseen forces? Why, he documents the entire thing, he regurgitates his thoughts, experiences, and confusion on a podcast and he posts videos of his personal experimentation on YouTube and Google Video.

I have derived tremendous personal entertainment by living life vicariously through the eyes and ears of young Jeremy. He is my own personal edition of the 'Truman Show' and I can't wait to see what the next episode is going to be.

Keep up the good fight young Jeremy Vaeni, wax on and wax off, snatch a pebble from my hand, stand strong against alien forces and embrace the good vibrations where you can find them.

Planetside Screenshots

Image
I realize that this post is going to cause some Web-Wiplash, but I think that is ok. For years I have held onto some old Planetside screenshots that I wanted to post online some day. After scouring an old hard drive yesterday these are the ones I came up with. Still, I know I am missing many of the screenshots I really wanted to keep. Especially ones from when the game was very early in development. I designed the entire client side game engine myself and I had a lot of fun during the development process. One of my regrets is that, in many respects, the final game did not look nearly as visually impressive as it did at certain points during development. There were a number of reasons for this. One was from a technology stand point. Most developers of an MMO game engine might assume it would be reasonable to stream data in as a player moved around the environment. That was certainly my original design. However, once the game got into heavy beta testing there was a strong push to get eve

Ten Reasons *NOT* to become a Freemason

Image
"Why I became (and proudly remain) an 'antient' Freemason" Well, I see no reason I cannot make a Freemason themed post. Last evening I attended a third degree at Naphtali lodge. It was my candidate being raised, my friend William Bean. It was an incredible night, especially since we had 28 Master Masons present for the event which was held at the incredible Masonic Temple in midtown Saint Louis. My friends Right Worshipful Brother Chris Neubold, Russ Tinker, Densel Webb, and Fred Statler drove down all of the way from Wentzville and Troy; over an hour drive each way. I acted as the Senior Steward and Junior Deacon for the ceremony. This was the largest gathering of Masons we have had in as long as anyone could remember for a degree. It is so very gratifying to see Naphtali growing and area members supporting the lodge. After the degree Jesse's wife Meryl provided a lovely dinner in the dining room where we shared fellowship and conversation. All of this had me thi

How to become a Freemason?

I decided to make a post this evening based on an analysis of blog track-backs to this site. Over the past month or so I get a significant amount of traffic every day from people who type in any one of the following search phrases: "How to become a Freemason" "Why become a Freemason" "Why not to become a Freemason" I suppose this blog has been around long enough that it is slowly moving up the search rankings on Google. I have written on this topic in the past but I want to start fresh here. I decided I would provide some simple basic answers without resorting to lame attempts at sarcasm or humor. "How to become a Freemason?" Well, the standard answer is 'ask one'. Of course, that can be hard to do if you don't know one. Seriously, the best way to 'become' a Freemason is to ask someone who is a Freemason. You will generally be amazed at their positive response. If you don't know any Freemasons, well it is about time you di
