Well as we all know it is a new year and in Austrailia we are winding down our summer and it is cool enough to get back to what i do.... For those of you old and new subscribers i geuss i should reiterate about what i actully do and why. I am for all intents and purpose an activist...i write for lots of reasons on lots of topics but one thing for sure is i will never sell out my ideals....i learned sometime ago while doing news that the truth may not always be popular and sometime offensive but needs to be told , pointed out none the less. I take potshots at all , celebrity , politics , lifestyles and the collective which we call humanity... if you go to my website www.mikekrupkesbasement.net you will see what i mean.. i have produced over 130 albums of varied content ranginf from the nice to the really *#$%$## up and have more than likely trod on toes... If you watch the big bang theory you will be familiar wiht sheldons mother..who said that people dont like being called stupid...to which Sheldon replied how else are they going to learn... so thats what i do ...i point out the absurd in our world and hope to spawn discussion that may lead to realisation that we as a species are really screwed up...This week i saw an article on Transrace , transspecies and i think we have to stop....on fox a white guy wants to identify as a philipino woman...and another guy changed himself to look like an elf...but we still have wars , climate problems , health and education problems...so i bitch about that...so if i offend i am sorry but we have to think twice about what we are doing to us now and to future generations...Anyhoo Hello to new subsribers....Alton from the bronx...Woodrow from miami , Simone from Kingston in Bristol...Eddy from Sydney...go mardi gras if you got a job out of it..if not oh well August from otoga , Eduardo from Sydney same goes to you.. Domonic from San fransico and mike from Michigan.. i wish everyone of you all the best...for those in the snow ..did'nt some one tell ages ago to get some winter sports gear...be ready it may be a thing in the future....save the snow in a water tank...melt it with a fresnal lense on roofs....and those with flood..look for filters ...a community can buy a filter system like the ones they use in the navy...email memtec they make bio filters.... so take care and i will drop some new stuff soon...or go to www.mikekrupkesbasement.net for more content... peace as always derek
