A car full of “zombies” was seen swerving eastbound on I-84 when it had crashed and rolled over onto its top last night around 9:30pm.

“…people who witnessed the crash initially thought the victims’ injuries were much more serious, because of the zombie costumes.”

It’s nowhere near Halloween, so I’m wondering what type of costume party these people were going to! An actual party, strange fetish, or orgy of undeads…?!? Who knows. It’s Portland, and this is one example of why you see bumper stickers everywhere saying “Keep Portland Weird!”

Get your tickets now! “Deep Green” has it’s world premiere here in Portland on June 22, 2010 at the Bagdad Theater. It’s a documentary that has been in the works for over 3 years, which brings to light an urgent situation related to our ecosystem. The documentary shows us how to decrease our carbon footprint by being aware of our resources and thinking in terms of reusable energy. I had a chance to meet briefly with the Director-Writer-Producer, Matt Briggs, and he is a very positive and friendly person. His profound knowledge on the subject matter leave me with no doubt that this will be a very informative and fantastic documentary. I am pretty excited to see this and will probably grab my tickets asap!

It appears that Japan’s job market is somewhat distressed as ours. With the influx of laid off workers over the past few years, there is a huge applicant pool where the competition is super high. Some people are starting to be creative, much like Mr. Yu Osumi from Japan, whom puts himself up for auction on one of Japan’s biggest online auction services. His auction listing is titled “Priority Interview Rights for the Transfer of the Personal Business of ‘Yu Osumi.’”

This video I came across from Arowana Films is a fun quirky public service announcement for the 2010 Census. I’ve already received my census form. It only takes a few minutes to fill out, so if you receive yours, fill it out! If you know someone that needs language assistance, there is language assistance in virtually every language possible, including braille! For more information or assistance, visit the official 2010 Census site at http://2010.census.gov/2010census/

I’m no stranger to rush hour and the anomalies of driving around Portland. I’ve witnessed numerous times when traffic has haulted, and strangely when traffic resumes at a normal pace many frustrations later, you see nothing! You’re thinking ‘Come on! At least give me something! Maybe some mangled car or traffic ticket being issued!?’ Well, this video from Nagoya, Japan may put some minds at ease as to why we have retarded fluctuations in traffic. Yes – blame it on the bad drivers for the most part.

In case anyone may have missed it, here is a video of President Obama wishing people a happy Lunar New Year.

According to Cosmopolitan, “The Thong is Dead!” Me, being a guy, have only understood the benefit of the thong as not showing any lines through particular dresses or pants. However, you’ve got the select few women out there that try to stimulate our loins with a sneak peak of their thongs with little to bare clothing or while slightly bending over. Hmmm…so the thong is multi-functional, and must have an individual purpose! But then, why is the thong dead? Is there a new wave of boy briefs/shorts that are taking over? Since I don’t read Cosmo, maybe some ladies can shed some light on the subject or share some opinions.
