Martians

Martians Marchin’

Martians Marchin’ is a small short about 2 martians who like to argue. There’s no particular plot in this short as one martian notices. This animation was created to illustrate a song written by Ron Jarzombek. This song was supposed to be a soundtrack for a lithograph called “House Of Stairs” by MC Escher, but the people at Escher refused to give me permission to reproduce the lithograph on a CD so i just used a bit of the music for something else. It ended up being a cool little musical piece, although it’s also a pretty bad rip-off of a Steve Vai tune from Flexable. The “talking” of the Martians was produced by playing some obnoxious quirky phrases on guitar with a whammy bar. The signal was patched into a wah-wah pedal and a harmonizer set at miner 2nd and major 2nd intervals. The atmospheric sounds were created with a Roland MSE-1 string module and an Alesis D4 drum machine. The music for this video was actually written years ago. I send a CD-R with several musical pieces specifically written and recorded for multimedia to Richard and Steve and they decided to put animation to the music. And this is the result of our collaboration. Hopefully, this is just the beginning…

Viewing American Politics From The Perspective Of Martians

I’m being silly, but indulge me here as I veer off into the realm of fantasy. Not *that* kind of fantasy, but the world from a Martian’s perspective.

Say we’re explorers from Mars sent to Washington D.C., in human form, in the year 2007.

What would be our conclusions about American politics were we to come down fresh, understanding very little of the political system?

We would understand immediately that there are purported to be ‘two sides’ (the validity of which is up for debate), and the two sides are represented by colors and animals–red or blue, elephant or donkey.

There are also a few fringe sects, marginalized by the craziness of their philosophies, who angrily disagree with both the reds and the blues.

So these are the two realistic options. Third or fourth candidates are not allowed to compete, really. They have “no chance of winning” or there’s the fear that the third party will take votes away from “real” candidates.

So the red and the blue appear to really dislike each other, but they’re two sides of the same coin, always in line to keep out the fringe and so they have some common interests.

Then things start to get good. . .

They have an even bigger common enemy: the media. The media supposedly reports the activities of both sides so they make more money from advertisers.

’The Media’ claims to be unbiased, but it isn’t true. They are loyal to whomever is in power and whomever owns the media outlet.

What’s even more exciting for us explorers to discover is that there are even more enemies these two sides have.

Prostitutes. Most recently Louisiana Senator David Vitters who gives an awful lot of lip service to abstinence only sex ed, was identified by the DC madam and the Canal Street Madam as being a client.

Under aged boys. Uh oh. US Representative Mark Foley, crusader against child abuse and exploitation, became child abuser and exploiter when it came to light that he had a bit of a taste for Congressional pages.

Women. Specifically wanton women. There was this one time, the woman was wearing a blue dress. He liked cigars. . . . At least Bill Clinton had the sense to make sure the woman was over the age of consent.

Other noteworthy enemies include. . .

Closeted homosexuality. This has turned out to plague a number of people lately. There’s Larry Craig and the foot tapping incident (“misunderstanding”). And Democratic Governor of New Jersey Jim McGreevey. At least he’s no longer in the closet.

Extramarital affairs. The list is too long. And really, is this even an issue people care about anymore?

Women who don’t want to be groped. (CA Gov. Terminator).

There are plenty of other enemies. Crack cocaine (Marion Barry), voter fraud, blah, blah, blah. Actually, voter fraud is only a problem for the big loser, not the fake winner.

Blue, red, elephant, donkey, they seem to want to make all the laws and then break them.

In our research as Martian anthropologists, we’d have to conclude that some form of perversion or criminal record is mandatory for political candidates.

We’d also have to conclude that the non-politicians, the ones who vote (or don’t vote), have such a short attention span that really, it doesn’t much matter. It’s football season and there’s a new season of “The Biggest Loser” and it’s back to school time and the kids need new backpacks. And before you know it, it’s the holidays again.

Jumping into this little fantasy world sometimes gives us a fresh perspective. It’s all about framing. Putting a new lens on life.

Try it with your life and your persuasion. See how it goes. Tell others about it, tell me about it on this blog. Create a discussion, invite your friends and colleagues to join the discussion here. Lord knows we need to step back from the craziness every once in a while and talk to each other intelligently about what we observe.

Cosmic Ordering – An Introduction for Martians

Well if you have not heard of cosmic ordering before, you really must have been away on another planet. Celebrities have been jumping on the cosmic ordering bandwagon, writing books, having interviews and in some cases attributing some of their success to it.

So for Martians and other less out of the world people who may not yet have heard about cosmic ordering, I thought I would write this little article to give you a run-down on what all the cosmic fuss is about.

In 1998 a German author called Barbel Mohr published a book called “Bestellungen beim Universum” which was later re-published in English and called “The Cosmic Ordering Service”. Based on her experiences of positive thinking and manifestation techniques the book became a runaway success and “cosmic ordering” was born. Since then, many other books have been published, describing various celebrities’ successes with cosmic ordering and providing further cosmic advice. The media too has extensively covered it. Noel Edmonds brought it a great deal of publicity in 2006 when he attributed much of his recent success to cosmic ordering.

So what exactly is cosmic ordering? Well, put simply, it is a technique that uses your personal or spiritual connection to the universe to manifest whatever you want. It is not wishing; wishing implies a hope for something. With cosmic ordering, you place your order and you expect a delivery, sometimes by a specific date. It is not a cognitive, intellectual exercise; it works best whilst maintaining a pure, childlike and innocent feeling and the more crazy and playful the method of requesting the more successful it is.

The actual nature of what the “cosmic connection” is and what the precise definition of the universe is in this context is somewhat unclear and not in my view, really understood, though there are plenty of theories. When Barbel Mohr was asked who received and delivered the cosmic orders, she explained that her belief was that the orders were placed with oneself, that at a fundamental level everything in the universe is connected and we can manifest what we want using our cosmic energy through what she calls the “unified field”. Her theory is finding some things in common with leading edge research in quantum physics.

The important thing to note is that many spiritual commentators recommend it. Many, who have tried it, swear by it. Cosmic ordering works and that is all that really matters. If you want to learn more about comic ordering or try it for yourself, there are many books to choose from or you can even go online and place your own Cosmic Orders there.

Why not start with something simple? Order something small like a car parking space and just see how it goes. Remember, have fun, be confident, place your order and then just let it go. Leave the universe to bring you your delivery in the best possible way at the perfect moment.

MOURNING OF THE MARTIAN

In the recent universe-wide storyline at DC Comics, Final Crisis, the DC Universe lost a prominent and beloved character. A lynchpin, if you will, in one of the most recognizable teams in all of comics, the Justice League of America. To say the loss came as a shock and disappointment to fans across the globe would be a gross understatement. If you have not yet read Final Crisis, be prepared for an emotional roller coaster ride.

Of all DC Comic Characters, J’onn J’onz is, or was, one of the most unique. Coming from Mars possessing a number of powers ranging from telepathy to shapeshifting, Jonz, or more commonly, the Martian Manhunter, was the definition of a hero. But his powers were not the only attributing factor to his heroism and uniqueness. Rather, Martian Manhunter was much more than his superhero identity insinuates. He was also a kind, fair, wise and ever-learning being who became one of the most respected and revered heroes in all of the DC Universe.

When J’onz came to earth, he had escaped a mental plague that claimed the lives of all other Martians as far as he knew. Abandoned and alone, this mysterious stranger would set out to forge a new identity on earth. Becoming one of the founding members of the Justice League, Manhunter would gain notoriety as the conscious of the powerful organization, becoming a leader, guiding the others in their various pursuits. But he still always felt a little out of left field, like a lost ball in high weeds because of his origins.

In recent years, Manhunter has undergone quite the identity crisis (no pun intended). After learning of Ted Kord’s (Blue Beetle) death, he went undercover trying to take the organization responsible for his friend’s death, Checkmate, down. He also discovered he wasn’t alone and there actually were other Martians on earth. And through all this he was forced to question his own identity and purpose on earth.

After coming through all of that, Manhunter is captured and imprisoned by Lex Luthor, then left for dead, only to be rescued by Libra, who then seemingly kills the stalwart hero.

Whether this is the absolute final fate for J’onn J’onz or not remains to be seen. But for now, an entire universe and its fans join in mourning the loss of one of the greats, the Martian Manhunter.

On Line Games Review – Martian Ball Madness From Uvme

True to form, uVme have launched another, deceptively simple looking , but incredibly difficult on line â??tea breakâ?? game . We look at ways you can best master this game, and be ready for high ticket tournaments as they pop up…

Martian Ball is an interesting game that requires you to keep the ball in the air as long as possible by zapping it with a contraption called a bouncy. Even though the object of this game is very simple, like many of the games featured on uVme.com, it’s a game of skill that you have to develop by playing often.

To start the game off, you have to hit the ball and send it flying. You have control over how hard you want to hit the ball, so make sure you have enough force behind it so the ball will travel far before landing. Using the bouncy, your goal is to keep the ball in the air while it travels.

Common Strategies

Staying underneath the ball at all times is one strategy that you can use to help the ball travel. The further it travels, the more points you can earn. Even though this game is timed, there is little you can do to increase the speed of the ball besides ensure that it doesn’t touch the ground.

Struggling to keep up with the ball or anticipating where it will land may backfire on you in the long run. As you play, you will notice that the ball usually lands in the same place each time. Positioning the bouncy under the ball increases your chances of hitting it when it reaches the ground.

In order to prevent the ball from landing, you have to click your mouse when the ball enters the realm of the bouncy. Always be prepared to click the mouse because you never know when the ball will fall. If you donâ??t click the mouse at the right time, then it may touch the ground and you will lose points.

Scoring Points

Each time you successfully keep the ball in the air, you will receive points. The distance the ball travels also increases your points. By staying focused and ready when the ball drops from the sky, you can increase your score and advance to the next level.

The person who scores the most points will be declared the winner regardless of whether they advance to the next level or not.

More tips.

As with all uVme on-line games, they look deceptively easy, but in reality are vey difficult to achieve high, tournament-beating scores. Our advice is â?? play for FREE before you venture out onto the Intergalactic Arena that is Martian Wars. If you donâ??t, youâ??ll be sorry…
