Why Are Some Towns Getting Rid of Their Police Force?

Silencio Barnes — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 13:32:56 PDT

July 17, 2001 This article from AolNews took me a little by surprise. I knew that towns, and even whole states are feeling the financial crunch right now…but I had no idea that you could disband a town’s police force to save some money. It seems that San Luis, Colorado and various other towns are [...]Related posts:

Prevail

Silencio Barnes — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 19:23:42 PDT

About Prevail A friend of mines listened to the beat and suggested I attempt an uplifting song. Something to motivate people with a message of hope…and this is what I came up with. Unfortunately, the version you hear is not a perfect representation of the vision I had for this song. Also, it should be [...]Related posts:

Blood+

Silencio Barnes — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 16:04:54 PDT

Do you like action, blood, gore, young teenage monster slayers in short schoolgirl skirts, complex emotional angst and the kind of melodrama that can make you cringe just by watching it?!?! Well so do I! Blood+ has all of that. What is it All About?!? Although I am a fan of the OAV (similar to [...]

Which Path

Silencio Barnes — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 14:23:53 PDT

About “Which Path” Like almost all of DaEvolution Mixtape, “Which Path” is composed of some very old lyrics. I rewrote a bit of it for uniformity after recording the original and not liking how it meandered. I changed the name as well. Originally it was called “Word Life” (I didn’t want it confused with Practice [...]Related posts:

Another Day

Silencio Barnes — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 14:23:41 PDT

The games we play, the things we say The way we block the other’s way The strange replay, repeat each day And end each night with silence The gray between us grows and grows But never will it go away My black, your white, our mix of prose Our mentals show the violence Cause we [...]Related posts:

James Cameron and Avatar

Silencio Barnes — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 12:32:21 PDT

Now that all the hype has died down…relatively speaking, I guess it would be okay for me to say a few words about Avatar (no, not the Last Airbender:)). James Cameron proved, once again, that he could make and hype a movie towards box office gold. If for some reason you do not know who [...]Related posts:

On Thought and Nothingness

On Thoughts and Nothingness or, It is What it is It is What it Is Life is full of contradiction and inconsistency. But life is just life; it’s the human mind and the collective conscious that adds so much complexity to something that is so simple. Consider this: We live and we die. That’s it. [...]Related posts:

Silencio Barnes — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 16:38:04 PST

The Problem With the Idea of Freedom in the U.S. The problem with freedom – the idea of freedom – is that no one wants it. That is to say, no one wants to put in the work necessary to achieve it. The sort of concerted effort needed may be currently beyond our reach. We [...]Related posts:
