Guns

So guns. I love guns I like looking at them and shooting them and thinking about them. I don't think of them as killing machines. Some times i think of people as killing machines but not a gun. I was confused for a while about how to read info about guns and what the different numbers and what not meant. At the bottom i will supply a little info for any one else looking at this who may not know. I dont understand why people think having a gun or using a gun or even getting a thrill out of shooting a gun is so bad. If you are being safe and it makes you happy why not. Also republicans should not be the only people who know how to use them . 


HANDGUNS
1. PISTOL- A pistol differs from a revolver because it uses expanding gass to load the next cartridge.
 2. REVOLVER-I think its obvious why a revolver is a revolver.
 3. DARRINGER- I think these guns are cute and are for close quarters here is one that is very nice to look at .    

    CALIBER- Is the dimension of the cartridge i think usually in mm or 1/100 of an inch. 
and LONG ARMS RIFLE- A gun that us long and cow boys used a lot in the movies. 
weatherby 300 magnum

 "The 300 Weatherby Magnum was introduced to the public in 1948 by Roy Weatherby. The 300 Weatherby Magnum cartridge case itself is nothing more than an improved version of the 300 H&H magnum made by blowing out the full length of the case which then sports a double radius shoulder and a long neck. The 300 Weatherby Magnum is a very powerful cartridge, loaded with a 220 grain bullet and delivering 2 tons of energy at the muzzle you can safely hunt all of the north american game animals and most african game animals. The 300 Weatherby Magnum when loaded with 165 - 180 grain boat tail bullets becomes a very effective long range mountain rifle when going after goats and sheep. The 300 Weatherby Magnum is well known for heavy recoil and will make most average rifleman flinch badly anticipating the recoil, a good idea to keep shooting this rifle accurately is to load down into the 130 grain bullet weight range and do some target practice or varminting as this reduces the recoil tremendously on the 300 Weatherby Magnum."

Taurus 605 .357 Mag.[Image] "Made for the very serious business of self-preservation - the 605 is built to the Taurus Zero Tolerance standard - in design, fabrication, fit and performance. Meaning there is simply no tolerance for parts that do not perform as if someone's life depends on them. Using the powerful .357 Magnum ammo - this quick-draw revolver has plenty of muscle to back it up. Features include fixed sights, crisp single-double action trigger and a transfer bar for added safety."  Fixed sights means that the sight  is not adjustable. Single Double Action. means that when the hammer is not cocked you can pull the trigger and it will cock and fire the pistol. you do not have to cock and fire the pistol with the trigger for every shot because the slide cocks the hammer when it cycles. Transfer Bar- THis is a mechenism that makes it so the hammer does not come in direct contact with the cartridge instead it hits a bar that in turn hits the cartridge. 

The tantō is commonly referred to as a knife or dagger. The blade is single or double edged with a length between 15 and 30 cm (6-12 inches, in Japanese 1 shaku). The tantō was designed primarily as a stabbing weapon, but the edge can be used for slashing as well. Tantō are generally forged in hira-zukuri style (without ridgeline),^[1][6] meaning that their sides have no ridge line and are nearly flat, unlike the shinogi-zukuri structure of a katana. Some tantō have particularly thick cross-sections for armor-piercing duty, and are called yoroi toshi. Tantō were mostly carried by samurai, as commoners did not generally wear them. Women sometimes carried a small tantō called a kaiken^[7] in their obiprimarily for self-defense. Tantō were sometimes worn as the shōtō in place of a wakizashi in a daishō,^[8][9] especially on the battlefield. Before the advent of the wakizashi/tantō combination, it was common for a samurai to carry a tachi and a tantō as opposed to a katana and a wakizashi.^[8]

It has been noted that the tachi would be paired with a tantō and later the uchigatana would be paired with another shorter uchigatana. With the advent of the katana, the wakizashi eventually was chosen by samurai as the short sword over the tantō. Kanzan Satō in his book The Japanese sword notes that there did not seem to be any particular need for the wakizashi and suggests that the wakizashi may have become more popular than the tantō due to the wakizashi being more suited for indoor fighting. He mentions the custom of leaving the katana at the door of a castle or palace when entering while continuing to wear the wakizashi inside

S&W Centennial is a family of 5-shot revolvers made by Smith & Wesson on the "J-Frame". Centennial's feature a fully enclosed hammer, which makes them Double Action Only (DAO) firearms. Like nearly all other "J-frame" Smith & Wesson revolvers, they have a swing-out cylinder. Smith & Wesson manufactures "Centennial" revolvers in .38 Special +P (Models 40, 442 and 642), 9mm Luger (Model 940) and .357 Magnum (Models 340 and 640). Centennial models have been made in different versions like PD "Personal Defense", LS "Lady Smith", and M&P "Military & Police"

this is good to have if you want to fire a gun hidden in a pocket, or under a blanket or something sneaky like that.  The external hammer can get caught on fabric and misfire. 

That is a Beretta .25 with a skeleton grip. The skeleton grip makes it possible to fire the gun with a less than perfect grip as the safety mechanism has been taped down. It is the kind of gun James Bond used. Why use as skeleton grip? The Beretta 950 Jetfire is a backup, self-defense pistol that is intended for undercover agents, police officers or individuals licensed to carry a concealed firearm for self-defense. Its considered a Ladies gun I guess. I think its super cool. 

ART

GOYA -He is strange and these are some paintings i like by him. He did them on the wall of is house. They are called the BLACK PAINTINGS. I remember finding out about his art in an art history class that i took at Lake Superior College in Duluth, Mn. when i was like 17. I thought art was kinda pretentious before i took that class. The teacher was cool an showed us some strange art. The teacher use to be a carrnie i guess and talked to a horrible monotone. I was sad though cuz the semester after i took his class he committed suicide.

IVAN ALBRIGHT-  I first saw his art when i was like 13 or 14 on a family trip some place where there was some sort of museum. They had some if his hard there and i thought it was kinda sick and gross but i wanted to look at it more so i picked up a brochure and clipped out some of the pics and put them on my wall. I like it cuz they look old and decrepit. 

The Bizarro and Strange

Today i came across the story of

Phalaris and Perillus

http://www.perillos.com/brazenbull.html

ITs strange and i wonder what sounds came out of  the bulls head when the person in side screamed did it sound like a flute or a tuba? I tried to look it up in You tube but no one made a replica. I thought maybe some one like myth busters would have constructed a replica of the bull. Here is a copy of the story. Strange that the guy who made it ended up in it. Reminds me of the drawing by Goya about the god Kronos i think Saturn ?? who was told a prophecy about him being killed by his son so when ever his new sons were born he would gobbel them up expect one but when he ate that one it killed him from the inside out.

Tea

http://vimeo.com/3485469

My favorite tea right now is Hojicha


"Land is a scarce resource in Japan, making all agriculture a pricey endeavor. So it became essential for the Japanese farmer to extract as much value from each tea bush as possible. Necessity being the mother of invention, the Japanese have been ingenious at devising tea varieties that are unheard of in countries more land-endowed. Hojicha is a result of this ingenuity. Hojicha is made from late-summer Bancha leaves, which are roasted to give them a smooth, warm nutty flavor. It was the invention of a Kyoto tea merchant in 1920 who had a batch of aging tea he didn't want to waste.


Green tea from Japan that is rendered brown by roasting Bancha (a summer crop tea, harvested after Sencha) tea leaves. An Adagio customer favorite, with a toasty nutty flavor and slightly mesquite note. Earthy and warm quality, soothing, clean finish."  from  http://www.adagio.com/green/hojicha.html

ANOTHER GOOD TEA is GENMAICHA it smells like stinky feet. When i first tried it i kept smelling and turning arround looking and sniffing for the culpurit of the bad smell. Tastes good .

BOOKS

Ruby and the Stone Age Diet by  Martin Millar is a huge disappintment unless you are 16 than you will probably like it. Seems like it would be cool cuz there is a guitar god in it and aliens but its not. I refuse to even finish it, no way. Than in the middle of every other page is another sub story going on and written worse about a love sick out cast lesbian WEARWOLF.. give me a break. The book glorifies promiscuity witch I have no issue with but is not something i can readily relate to and glamorizes drugs like heroin another thing i can not relate to. I have been spending a lot of time online trying to look up good books to read and am having a hard time finding ones i like.

Thought i would try something a little more Mature.. House of Leaves!!!!!!!!!

So this book is VERRY LLLLLLLLOOOOOOONNNNNNNNGGGGGG.. Way way way to long. I like the story inside the story inside the story but not the stories it was inside. It was ok reading about Johnney his crazy drug induced sex life and all but it never went any place. I wanted him to find the house and die it in like very one else. I kinda wanted to stop reading it when i realized that half the book was bull shit nonsensical pseudo intellectual mother fucking mental masturbation. I realized a little less than half way trough around page 350 that i didn't want to finish but alas i am a trouper and slogged my way through the most portentous piece of  BS ever created. I don't mind portentous BS that is profound in some place.. Well actually i do mind it but I still respect it. When did complicated end up meaning intellectual? if i write in circles and use a lot of big words and leave an elusive ending does that mean I'm a genius. No it means I'm indecisive. What if i make up a who book in a secret language and every 25 pages write smoothing that could potentially a good horror story if it was just left at that. But one word on every 25 pages may indicate a clue about how to read all 500 of the other pages.. Could that be smart? could it be a best seller? Probably considering how ridiculous this book is. Read it I dare you . No one warned me. What a waste of my time. I did like the weird house part a lot i just wish the whole book was written about that. But still i thought there was a house near where the rivers change flow direction in Minnesota where there exists a house that is bigger on the inside than the outside. and balls role up hill. Any who on to the next one.



Ok so i was bitching about 2 books in a row. Here are two that i think are good. I wont say much about them but you should read them . 

So this book here is a doozie. Its about a PI who gets sent on a chase through the sexual underbelly of the united states faced with a moral dilemma to embrace fucked up shit or shut it down. What will he do? Also his side kick is a hot poly lady ridden with tattoos and prircings.He is square. The moral fidelity of the population of the united states lies in the pages of a a second missing constitution of America by the way it is written on alien skin and oscillates at a certain frequency and carrying some hrtz. The book is funny a page turner and a fast read. 

Fortress of solitude. - boring portentous book. I learned about music a bit from it though .. weird disco and seventies stuff i would never have listened to on my own ever.  The book had a good idea but the author ruined it by thinking to hard.
