So I'm thinking that, ah...
I'm thinking that we the choice we have here
is between the Camaro...
Camaro...
...or the Bronco.
4x4 capabilities versus speed.
The kind of things I want to do,
I think that if I was to buy the Camaro,
I would regret not buying the Bronco.
But if I buy the Bronco,
I'm not going to regret not buying the Camaro.
So I think the Bronco is the way to go.
Jim?
I think so.
Let's go down and buy some Bronco.
Waking. Here I am.
Sleeping. Here I am.
Dreaming. Here I am.
Waking, sleeping, dreaming. Here I am.
Always I was here.
Now I speak to you.
Just have no fear.
You don't know how much you miss
by not knowing yourself.
Do you run the risk?
Here is the Self, that speaks to you
and will never fade away.
Never fade away.
Here is the Self, that speaks to you
and will never fade away.
Never fade away.
Here I am.
Fuck! That's a big dog!
I've never seen a mastiff that big.
Like, I've seen mastiffs, and that's a big dog, but...
This is the seer mystic dog, who can foretell the future.
-It doesn't quite look anywhere.
It just kind of looks.
-It's like that blind guy from Kung Fu.
-Oh yeah.
-Hit me.
Wow, they're like totally checking us out, eh?
They're like: "Who are these guys"
What's up?
Fuck! That dog, man...
If it all goes sideways, that dog will be taking over the neighborhood.
That dog'd be named Conan.
If that was my dog, his name would be Conan.
That is how that would work.
I checked online with what people said about these,
and apparently they said that they're bomb proof.
Should we look for rust there, I guess.
-Does it matter
-Just on the side there. -I mean, on the frame and shit.
Well, up till a couple of years ago it was on the road.
I used it as a --- right over to Victoria and back.
--- pop off the top.
--- canopy --- all the time
As long as you don't, like, throw a fruity paint --- and stuff as I drive by, that's fine, you know
But she's getting painted, I tell you that right of the back.
-Yeah. -You can't paint The Pumpkin!
The Pumpkin The great pumpkin!
You can't paint The Pumpkin!
If there's any consolation, I'm going to be next door, so...
We can visit it.
That's important to a man, you know?
I know she was kind of glib there
when you were telling him to get rid of it and stuff, but...
-Probably want the hood down too?
-Wanna close the hood?
-It's alive!
-Sold!
Hoah!
-Are you selling the Pumpkin
-Come on, buddy, say good bye.
-Aw...
You don't mind if I buy your Pumpkin, do you?
Aw, I feel teerible.
-You broke a little boy's heart.
-You're laughing man! What are you talking about?
Who am I giving money to You or her?
-Me. -You?
-Yeah, I get the cash.
-I only got you six, so...
-Why would I know where your drive shaft went, honey?
-I can see a tear in his eyes, Sean.
-Yeah, I know. It's terrible!
It's like we're taking this kid's truck.
-It doesn't jerk as much in second. A little more gas than that.
-I'm still just getting used to this thing. I've never driven a truck.
-He's the proud owner.
-Ah, yes.
-He's the proud owner.
-This is, she has this lovely little car and I have a big, ugly truck.
Which the little kid called "The Pumpkin."
And he said: "We're selling The Pumpkin "
And I'm like fucking dying over here...
Like, wow, great! he's going to grow up and turn into an ax murderer.
Final words: "Where is my Pumpkin !" Spuck!
-Yeah, you better sell it in ten years.
-It'll be like this squint of recognition when I'm in my senior years
and this young, totally ripped biker's gonna show up and be like: "YOU!"
And I'm like: "Ah, I know you... You're mad because I bought your Pumpkin."
Shopping isn't necessarily bad.
In my world, everything is sold
by small stores, by small people.
People go to buy and sell goods.
They move it around.
It's family run.
And instead of having large shopping malls
where everyone charges exorbitant rent just for the space for you to sell some goods,
I envision a world where there's nothing but small marketplaces.
Like you find in a flea market or even at the Richmond night market.
It's a good idea to check out how these stalls are all set up.
There's people here selling bleeding edge tech.
Bluetooth hardware.
Everything you could possibly need in any cyberpunk setting.
If you check back to movies like Bladerunner, Max Headroom, that's where the future's going.
That's where it has to go if you're going to compete against the corpolitical.
Small markets are the places to go to find black market tech, illegal tech.
Things that nobody really wants you to have, but are available.
The night market is another way of saying the black market.
But does that make it illegal?
Does that make it bad?
Just because the corporations don't want you to buying
their immitation Nike sweatshop shirts?
It doesn't make sense.
their immitation Nike sweatshop shirts?
So what does make sense is for you to have choice.
You can choose to either go to the mall,
or to substitute instead of a mall, when you need a place to go.
It's unrealistic to sit at home and think "I'm going to hang out and do nothing."
No, what you need to do is to have a place,
like these flea markets, like these night markets,
like these illegal black markets, where you can go to buy your wares
at a price that you think is fair.
And after all, who loses there?
Only the corpoliticals!
Sounds OK to me!
My name is Sean Kennedy, and I am the fucking man!
Trail mix.
Trail mix is expensive!
Very, very pricey to make!
But it's called Trail mix, because you'd be on a trail, expending a lot of energy,
and you have to replace that energy in your body,
so you have this, something you reach into your pocket,
take out a handful or trail mix, and throw it down range.
You must be very, very, very careful with trail mix,
because you will get fat, fat, fat, fat, fat, fat, if you eat a lot of trail mix.
However, if you happen to be very active,
say you're a cycklist, bike courier, that kind of a thing,
and you need to have a quick pick-me-up,
or you wish to augument your pre-packaged lunch by adding trail mix to it,
it makes for a nice change and something you can snack on throughout the day.
It's OK to eat one bag of trail mix over an 8 hour span.
It's not OK to eat 8 bags of trail mix in a one hour span.
That is not good, you will get fat.
But that said, let's get into the joy that is trail mix.
And normally, what you'd do is you would go to the
bulk section of your local super market or something.
And you'll find the pre-packaged, pre-mixed trail mix.
Trail mix used to be pretty sexy stuff, but now it's kind of getting a little bit sad.
They're trying to bulk up on the cheap goods.
They bulk up on the raisins.
A few measly little pieces of dried fruit.
Your occational soy nut, which is what these ones are.
Some dried peas, and God knows whatever else they've swept of the dried fruits floor.
So, this is kind of your base.
You're paying a premium for this. You've even got little chunks of
grenola-esque sort of cereal here.
They throw it in there, and you pay a premium for that.
But for the first time you make trail mix,
sure, get yourself a couple of hundred grams of that,
and a nice big bowl. And that's your base.
That's what you're staring from.
Pretty boring.
You think: "Well, not a lot going on there."
So, next, you look at this and say: "What do I want more of "
Well, I like dried fruit myself.
Lots of sugar there, really tasty.
That's the flavor of it, so the next thing we do is you add some...
For me, now, again, the bulk bin is loaded with all kinds of
crazy things that will make you fat.
You can put chocolate in there or whatever you want.
So you gotta kind of, look at the pricing, see what's cheap.
Sometimes dried apricots are a little bit cheaper.
But this is just your sort of conglomerate mixture of simply dried fruits.
You got some dried apricots in there, couple of currants,
some cranberries, but again, all out of raisins.
That's OK though, that's alright.
So we take the dried fruit, augument that, mix it up.
Get your hands in there, mix it up!
Now that looks definatly a whole Jimmy-whack better.
But I wanna, you know, kind of build it up a little bit further.
You know you got your base and you've added some dried fruits.
OK, I've gone with a nut rich trail mix where, again, they've bulked up on the raisins,
this is why it's very rare that you buy raisins to put in your trail mix.
But you got some peanuts here, probably some caschews, stuff of this nature
kind of a nutty trail mix sort of mixture here.
So, I'm going to add that in.
This one seems like I've got soy nuts and dried fruit, a couple of seeds.
There are the other nuts.
Mix it up!
Now that is the way trail mix used to look about 10 years ago, when you bought it.
That would be good, high quality, trail mix.
And i f you were to buy this quantity of trail mix in one particular batch,
you wouldn't get this sort of diversity, all those kinds of flavors.
Now this is a pretty solid base.
So we're going to augument that a little bit.
Now, I'm going to commit a cardinal sin, and I'm going to put raisins into the trail mix.
But they're not just any raisins.
They're yoghurt covered raisins.
Because these are crack.
There's not much you can do... I mean, I could eat this whole thing right now.
They're so yummy, oh my god!
So they're yoghurt covered raisins. I enjoy it.
And it adds sort of color. It adds to the appearance.
You know it's like when you go to the really fancy restaurants
and they cut a swan out of a pineapple, or something like that.
Very, very cool to do.
In goes there, again, mix it up!
Fit for a king!
Look at that. Hot!
This is why it's very important for you to get a big bowl.
Bear in mind when you're buying just little packages, like 150-200 grams each,
and you mix them and add them up, so gradually, eventually, this bowl
is getting more and more full.
Now that we've got it to a sexy kind of phase where you're
individualizing your trail mix.
There's a real art to this, you know.
I mean, eventually you can sample other people's trail mix,
and you'll be like: "Oh, I really like your trail mix,
how did you build that Very very good."
It's all configuration, like most things.
And next something which has been largely forgotten
in the trail mix world is dried bananas.
It's loaded with potassium. Good for joints, good for muscle recovery,
and generally they're loaded with sulphides which is kind of bad for you,
but who cares, because it's yummy!
So, we take this, and we go...
Throw in your dried bananas.
Now, banana chips, again, they're kind of inexpensive,
and you might wind up breaking some when you mix them in.
But they make for a nice augumentation to your trail mix.
And now you can see that we're getting some decent size going on here.
Definitly more than one serving going on.
OK, so we got some dried bananas and now, my own personal addition to the trail mix.
This kind of thing will keep the energy going, but I like adding a little something to it.
Now I would not advice eating this stuff for more than three days
without sleep, because you'll begin to hallucinate.
Which is something I discovered, because I always add
chocolate covered coffe beans to my trail mix.
It's a simple thing to do, I don't know why more people don't do it.
But it seems that I've never actually seen it done.
I've never seen people apply chocolate covered coffe beans to trail mix.
Seems kind of obvious to me, but I suppose not a lot of people do.
So, once you've got all of your chocolate covered coffe beans in there...
A nice, solid mixture,
and you are good to go.
Now that is without a doubt some really good Wog chow.
Now, the temptation is to sit down with your entire
Ghost in the Shell collection and put that down range.
This is bad!
You'll get about halfway through that before,
one, you'll probably get diareah from all the coffe beans,
and, you'll probably get the shakes, and God know what else will happen to you.
Because you got to think of it like a fuel, like I mean
this is pretty powerful stuff.
We got a lot of nutrients and things going on with this stuff.
So you gotta break it down a bit.
Now I use a kind of a bag, some type of sealable bag.
And you take a one-cup measuring cup,
and you must be very, very, very, diciplined about this.
Don't load up!
You take one scoop.
Put it in the bag.
Don't waste it.
Seal your bag.
Sometimes, I put an elastic band around it.
That is one serving of trail mix.
Don't eat more than one serving a day, or you're going to get fat.
But as you can see, I still got a lot more trail mix here.
So just by the end of this one episode, you go hit your supermarket.
Load up on your trail mix.
Do your mixture.
And you can make yourself quite a few days worth of supplies.
Or you can kind of say: "Well, screw that, Sean, I'm really really active.
I'd really like to have, like, two or three servings."
That's fine, but bear in mind, this trail mix stuff is pretty deadly.
You can get pretty fat eating it.
But it is so very yummy.
And after all, none of this is any good unless it tastes good.
My name is Sean Kennedy, and I am the fucking man!
In my opinion it has always best to have your hair cut by a barber.
The reason for this is - and you want
to make sure it's the same barber all the time -
because they get used to how your hair looks,
how you everything works.
But if you travel a lot you can't have your hair cut all the time
by the same barber. It helps to have a haircut passport.
Which means you go to your favorite barber, and you get "The Haircut".
by the same barber, it helps to have a haircut passport.
And then you set it up so that you know exactly how your hair looks
so you can give it to your next barber,
so they know how to make your hair look perfect every time.
This is the purpose of the haircut passport and is why every Wog has got one.
So let's go in and talk to Ray. He gives the best haircuts in western Canada.
-So how's Ray been
-What about that trip when you went to New York?
-Yeah! We did that, we went to New York, now that was a trip.
We went down, I spoke at a college down there at the Adirondack's,
"The message of independent media" and that was a lot of fun.
And that went really well.
I was actually in New York for Chinese new year,
I didn't know that was happening, but it turns out
I happened to be in China Town for Chinese new year.
Well, they had the lion dancers and all that going on
and in New York, I mean, everything is just crazy, so...
-How'd you find it, I mean, like, the people and stuff?
-You know, I found New York to be friendly, really, really friendly.
I thought it was the most friendly city I've ever been in.
I couldn't believe that people think, like "New York, it's all hardcore", but it wasn't.
It was totally friendly.
I was sitting in a subway down there, and this guy, he was trying to get somewhere,
and you say the name of where you want to get to,
like "Penn station" or something,
people would stop cause they heard you say that,
and like go out of their way to make sure you get on the right train and everything.
It's unreal.
Now tell me a little bit...
-OK, just before we get started here, how short are we going to take it?
-We're doing... Remember when I was down here before,
and I got that where it was almost an Air-quad, where it was skin right down on the sides
and psychotically short on top
-Yeah, that's what we're doing. -OK.
-And then if we want to do like the Air-quad again.
-Yeah, we can always make it shorter,
but the main thing is we've got to get that lint on top right.
-Now why is it that everyone else uses guides and stuff,
and you're just on a bare razor there, with nothing,
and you're able to do that,
because no one else can't seem to do that?
Why is that?
-We're going to take this pretty, pretty tight on the sides here.
Like you said, right?
I know a little thing about everything but not a lot about anything.
-It's a joke... -A little bit of knowledge...
That hurts. What they say about a little bit of knowledge?
It's a dangerous thing?
We're going to have to turn you around, just to get back to this.
-Sure, where are we going with the...
-OK, now, erm... We're going to... -What do you think?
-Well, it looks great, right?
-I just want to get... It isn't finished yet, just one side kicking up.
Now, I'm going to get you to turn away from the mirror,
I can't squeeze myself in here.
They can't stop that Internet village.
-No, well it's designed to prevent against nuclear weapons, that was the whole idea,
that they build it originally to stand up to... the infrastructure was built
to withstand a nuclear attack.
And it was originally between universities, and then of course
once there was a big speech made
calling it the "Information super highway" and then it kind of blossomed from there.
And now there's folks like me and Cimm and Rantmedia
and everybody just, well, that's what we do, we try to...
Like the new show I do is I cover news that nobody else covers.
And thanks for being a good sport with the camera and everything, Ray
I mean, you're just a prince for that, man.
-No problem.
-And James, I'm also of the realization that since I don't have my wallet,
I'm going to have to get you to front for the haircut too,
and I'll pay you back when we get back home...
-You bastard! -Sorry man!
-You just going to have to work it off, sweep the floor or something.
-Yeah, that what it is.
-In the 1950's that would be a very respectable haircut.
-Yeah, actually, you're right.
-Well I do a lot of brush cuts.
Most common asked question is "Do you still do brush cuts ",
and I say "They never went out!"
I do more brush cuts today than I did... Well the same!
-Oh, am I waiting for you here
-It's the same amount! -Really?
-People think that, well, when hair went short, brush cuts were in.
-Well I suppose if you're like... -It's when the hair gets long
that brush cuts go out.
-Yeah -Like brush cuts...
When everybody start growing their hair longer then brush cuts die down a bit.
But the people that have brush cuts keep them. That's what I find.
-So you're like a time traveler?
The flat top with the... -Oh yeah, it's one that can travel a bit.
Yeah, I would say. I would think so.
-Hey!
Can I keep it all?
It's real too!
OK, thanks now...
Once you've had your hair cut, and you've got it exactly the way you want it
the next step is to take the haircut passport and make the haircut passport.
To do this, you need to take a digital camera.
You take a shot from the front, from the sides - both sides- and from the back.
And then you just simply print them out, keep them with you inside your wallet,
inside of the little, well, like a photo case or something.
Anytime you buy a wallet, you usually get those annoying things
you're supposed to keep pictures of your family in, which no one ever does.
So what you do is you take those plastic things out
and you shove your Wog pictures in there and Boom!
Good to go! You got your haircut passport.
You'd want to get your hair at least once every two weeks,
because if you wait longer than that,
you wind up with the same effect I have, where it looks like you've been attacked,
savagely, by some sort of weird cult.
So the number one thing you want is to keep it nice and steady,
and that keeps the Sane very, adapted, to how you look.
You know, the first time you show up with this haircut,
they're like: "Whoa! Geez, your hair's short!"
And you're like: "Yeah, it's for the summer, you know?
The barber, you know, he did a heck of a job.
I don't know what he's doing, but anyway I guess this hair is really nice, though."
And they'll talk about "Oh, well, I guess it's kind of cool, you know?
A lot of people shave their heads and that."
Same sort of idea.
So the importance, once you got it the way you want it,
the importance of the haircut passport is of course the importance
of having a digital camera.
Me I use one of these.
One of the James Bond digital cameras.
Which is a surveillance camera which you can buy for about 80 bucks.
It takes a pretty low quality image, really, when you get right down to it.
But when you need to just take a photo of some information you want to keep track of,
or perhaps you want to take a photo of an incident,
there's a lot of ways you can make little movies with these.
You can set them down and, like, have it open, have it take a series of photographs
every so many minutes so somewhere that you weren't allowed to be taking pictures.
Which is just a ridiculous rule, really. You should, because you can't, like, really...
What are pictures other than just a captured version of what you see.
So saying you're not allowed to take pictures is a lot like saying you're not allowed to see this.
We're not allowed to record this, because this isn't really happening.
Not being able to film is ridiculous! It's a stupid law!
OK It doesn't make sense!
How is filming in any way hurting anyone.
All it's doing is recording what is actually happening.
So in essence, filming is really the greatest personification of what the truth is.
Now when you take film and you alter it to have like a certain angle or whatever,
then yes, obviously you are creating influence.
But even still, is what Michael Moore or what George Bush does with their film propaganda,
is that illegal?
No.
Is it immoral?
Questionable.
But I don't think it should be made illegal by any stretch of the imagination.
So now we have the ability to spend $80 at Thinkgeek or any number of places,
that carry an item like this and you will get yourself a James Bond
surveillance camera that looks like a Zippo lighter.
Do you realize how incredibly powerful that is?
For $80, you can get an item which 25 years ago would have had you sentenced to death.
This is an item that 25 years ago didn't exist.
We have the ability to record sound, video, media.
You can record the goings-on in...
I think it can take up to like 20 minutes of movies.
And this is nothing. This is a toy.
OK, the quality is garbage when you're done. But you have the ability to capture it.
This is amazing!
This is the kind of thing that happens when you look at your laptop for the first time.
When you sit back and you realize that My God! What i have here is a computer!
It's an amazing computer that has the ability to connect me to the entire world!
I have more resources than any king in medieval times!
I have the ability now to affect my environment and increase my mind
to the level of which university students 50 years ago couldn't dream!
We have resources!
Connectivity to conspiracy files, to secret information like we've never had before!
But most of us are too bored or too apathetic or too drugged, maybe too depressed,
maybe we got too much cloroform from all the Triclosan in our toothpaste and whatnot,
but for some reason we just don't care.
We don't pay attention to what's going on around us.
Few of us, those of us Wogs out there, we take media and we record it and we share it.
Because we know what's happening in the real world.
My name is Sean Kennedy, and I am the fucking man!
A lot of people understand the Wog lifestyle.
A lot of people like the Wog clothing, the Wog look of things.
But they're not willing to take the final steps,
the most essential steps of being a Wog,
which is Controlling Your Influences!
People are still watching lots of TV.
"Well, I just like this show and I just like that show."
OK, that's fine! If you want to watch those shows, buy the DVD's.
Acquire the programs without the programming.
That's a good idea!
But what's not a good idea is for you to keep accepting all of this influence into your life.
Your brain is an engine.
It's cells and matter and neurons and have processes
that people are placing millions of dollars into to hack you head!
And the more ports you have open, the more vulnerable you are.
First of all, you need to read.
You need to read and you need to read the right things.
Yes! OK, fine, if you're not reading at all, you can read whatever you want.
Don't read magazines, for Gods sakes!
Read something...
Well there's magazines like Ad-busters or something like that.
But don't read mainstream. You can't!
You've got to read.
There's all kinds of books, fiction, non-fiction literature that explains...
Have you read 1984?
Have you actually read 1984?
Everyone talks about George Orwell's 1984, but have you read it?
Probably not.
So read a book!
Read Snowcrash!
Read Islands in the net!
Read all these books that are like prophecy.
We need to read these things.
You need to read into your reality.
You need to be able to read into your reality.
This is the whole point!
If you can't control what goes into your brain,
then you're not going to control what comes out of your mouth.
This is just very basic common sense.
The whole point of being a Wog doesn't start out here with your clothing.
It starts up here!
It's all in the mind!
You've got to get outside of the box so that you can look at the box
and help others get outside of the box.
That's how we're going to win this thing!
We can't just stand back and let corporations walk all over us and
the corpolitical mindset just govern what we see, hear and read.
Ben Bagdikian's The media monopoly said that by this time,
only seven people would control everything we see, hear and read.
Seven people!
So what are you missing?
What's going on in the world?
I do the best I can, but there's only so much I can do.
You have just as much capability as I do to infiltrate into society,
to infiltrate into the corpolitical structure, to infiltrate into the world.
Find this information out!
Get this information to whom?
To the fellow Wogs, so we all become stronger!
This is what Independent Media is for.
Don't hate the media! Become the media!
But before we can do any of that, you have to control your influences!
What makes you say what is cool?
What defines cool to you?
Who tells you cool?
Is it the television?
Is it the Oscars?
Is it modern films that are coming out in multi-million-dollar-mega-buck theaters?
Is that what's telling you what is cool?
All the little soda cans and everything?
All strategically placed.
None of that is by accident.
None of that's by accident.
We all have role models for people that don't exist.
That's who we're all trying to be.
It's a nightmare!
I don't know how that works.
How did that happen?
That's not what I wanted.
But yet we all believe it.
And what's worse is we know we believe it.
We know it's wrong, and there's nothing we can do about it.
That's insane!
It doesn't make any sense!
I don't know how that works.
Yet, everyone just kind of blindly moves along, accepting more and more data.
That's fire hose for you.
They turn the fire hose on, everyone takes from there.
You only get what comes out of the fire hose.
You have to spread out.
You have to make sure you explore other options.
Fringe thinkers, fringe ideas, fringe artists.
Yeah, there are a lot of wackos out there and maybe I'm one of them.
But the point is you have to go to external media sources
You have to control what goes into your mind.
It's your choice, it's your head.
If you don't decide what programs your personality,
you can guarantee someone else will.
My name is Sean Kennedy, and I am the fucking man!
All is the Self, all is myself.
All is you and yours. There's nobody else.
I am one and appear as many.
All is the Self, all is myself.
All is you and yours. There's nobody else.
I am one and appear as many.
Here is the Self, that speaks to you
and will never fade away.
Never fade away.
Here is the Self, that speaks to you
and will never fade away.
Never fade away.
