A little video I'm pretty sure is about the girls where I live

They had to film these girls where I live....they just had to!

Two Thumbs Up Bitches!

The new "Bleed" video off the ObZen album from Swedish metal band Meshuggah.

The obZen album is probably my favorite out of them all. Takes everything you've come to love and expect from Meshuggah yet so much more.

Enjoy!

Disclaimer: This video/music is not for the feint of heart. So if you enjoy the "stripped shirt/scarf wearing/super cool vidal sassoon hair cut bands" don't watch it.

Real Hero

So amidst all the bullshit doom & gloom you'll probably here by the "drive by" media (not sure where I heard that but it fits) today about the economy, and gas prices, and the election...I thought I'd share a story about a guy you probably won't hear about unless you live in Chicago and it's suburbs.

Joseph Richardson faced a split second decision Monday May 5th 2008. Save his daughter or himself. He chose his daughter. A drunk driver jumped a curb and was coming straight for Joseph and his daughter when, without thought, he grabbed her and held her above his head seconds before the car smashed into him pinning Joseph against an Iron fence. He died shortly after but managed to save his daughters life in the process.

With an out-of-control car bearing down, Joseph Richardson grabbed his 4-year-old daughter and held her up out of harm's way.

It was his last act -- and one that apparently saved his daughter's life.
Richardson, a 39-year-old father of three, was killed Monday evening by the car, driven by a man who police say was drunk.

The car pinned Richardson and his daughter Kaniyah against a wrought iron fence at 95th Street and Wentworth, police said.

Kaniyah survived and was listed in critical but stable condition Tuesday evening at Comer Children's Hospital, where a spokeswoman said she was doing well.

"He held the baby up to keep the car from destroying the baby, but it totally destroyed him," said Richardson's father, the Rev. L.V. Richardson.

Richardson was walking his daughter to a McDonald's for burgers at 6:40 p.m. Monday when a 1990 Chevy Cavalier jumped a curb and careened towards them, police said, citing witness accounts.

He grabbed his daughter just before the car slammed the two into the fence, police said.

Richardson was pronounced dead shortly after the crash.
The driver of the car, Angelo Thomas, 32, of the 200 block of West 95th Street, was charged with two felony counts of aggravated driving under the influence, police said. He was also cited with driving without a valid license or insurance.

Joseph Richardson, the father of two girls and a boy, all under the age of 11, was described as a devoted father. His other love was music. He was a gifted pianist and organist and performed in choirs at Cottage Grove Baptist Church and Greater Revelation Missionary Baptist Church, where his father ministers. His idols were Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder, his family said.
