Miracle On 42nd Street
Looks like Alex Karigan and Zac Hammer recently uploaded it onto Vimeo...Just in time for Christmas.
To Kids From One To Ninety-Two....
Growing up as one of Jehovah's Witnesses, I didn't have much exposure to the holidays as a child. I never knew the joy of opening up a wrapped present. I never got to see a Christmas tree up close, in all of it's glory. I never heard any holiday song enough to learn the words to it. I didn't want to....except one.
I was very sheltered as a child. My parents tried to "protect" me from the dangers of this "worldly system of things" (yes, that was the language that was used in the house). What they failed to realize, was that you can't control what is being fed into your childrens' brains outside your home. You cannot control the music being played at the grocery store. You can't control what they play at Walmart or Sears.
As I said, for the most part it had no effect on me. I really had no idea what I was missing out on. But when I heard that raspy voice coming over the loud speaker, I knew that there was something important that I was missing out on. That one song - those three minutes - convinced me that Christmas didn't have to be a religious holiday. It was a time to spend with family and friends. I've never forgotten that.
This was the first, and to my recollection, only Christmas song I learned by heart. It gives me a warm feeling inside every time I hear it, as I hope it does you.
"And so, I'm offering this simple phrase...
to kids from one to ninety two....
although it's been said many times many ways....
Merry Christmas to you....."

Things I Need To Remember After Leaving A Cult
Things I Need to Remember After Leaving a Cult
- It is a cult…regardless of the name it chooses; it is and will remain a cult.
- You are no longer in the cult.
- You can only control one outcome while being in and exiting a cult: your own.
- You did not leave family behind- you left behind cult members.
- You are free to choose a belief system or none at all.
- No one will fully grasps what it was like in a cult; do not feel the need to make others understand.
- Build a support system- create your idea of a family, and take control of who enters your inner circle.
- It is okay to be confused. It is okay to be angry. It is okay to question everything.
- Revisit the past, but do not live there.
- Many things will trigger memories of your past cult life. Learn to spot these triggers and deal with them accordingly.
- Needing mental help is optional. If you need it, then do so. It does not make you weak…it makes you battle ready for the next war over your mind in life.
- We attract what we are. If you want good, positive people, be positive to counter the loneliness.
- Forgive yourself. It is finished the past, and you paid your dues while in the cult.
- Vent. Find safe places where you can release your anger and pain when you need to. You do not have to suffer alone.
- Learn to let go. This is the hardest one. It takes time and lots of strength.

Mashup Monday - 2013 In Review
I don't know what to call Gen Ip. Is she an artist? A master editor? A filmmaker? In any event, I desperately anticipate her filmography each year. While, in my opinion, 'Filmography 2010' was far and away her best effort, her video for 2013 is quite remarkable.
When it comes to the end-of-the-year music mashups, DJ Earworm tends to have the best mix every year. His mixes are always fluid, with the tunes that had the most radio airplay for the year. I actually recognized most of the songs.
If you quote me on this, I'll deny it. But....pop music this year was pretty darn good. Between albums from Macklemore, Daft Punk, Justin Timberlake, Gaga, and Lorde, not to mention a couple of good singles from folks like Robin Thicke, radio was almost bearable in 2013.
I said almost.

The Best Black Friday Deal Of 2013
I have found a way to not only avoid doing any shopping on the holiday, but avoid the stampedes on Friday morning, as well. Best of all, I guarantee that you'll spend less than anyone else on the block.

One Million Moms Is Going To Ship Their Pants
In any event, One Million Moms' campaign was unsuccessful, as Kmart continued to air the hilarious ad. In addition, it has nearly 20 million views on YouTube. A couple of weeks later, Kmart released an ad touting their "Big Gas Savings". That commercial went on to get another six million views.
Kmart's 2013 ad campaign was so successful, that they renewed their contract with ad agency DraftFCB in August. This is their first ad under the new contract. Just in time for Christmas, it's Jingle

If You Ever Want Some Honest Feedback
I haven't had my laptop available for the last two weeks, so all communication with the online world has been with my cell phone.
I use an app on my phone called SwiftKey. It learns my writing patterns by evaluating my texts, my tweets, and my status updates. From there, it makes an educated guess at what I'll type, based upon my history. Many times, I only have to type in the first letter or two of a particular word, and it can guess the next three. Helps out a lot when I'm having a bad day with the brain fog.
If you ever want to gauge on how things have been going for you, let your phone speak on your behalf. Let the auto fill option type out its best guess for what you want to say. You might be better off than what you think.
I'm going to let my phone type out the first full sentence on its own, based upon the most common words I've typed into the keyboard recently. Here goes:
"Please contact us at the front of the year of the most expensive artwork ever sold at the Drake concert tickets so I know it's a good time."
So, evidently my phone thinks that I like expensive artwork and Drake. Perhaps my theory is a little off on this one....

The Fucker Works In Mysterious Ways
While vacationing at Crater of Diamonds State Park* in Arkansas, 14-year-old Tana Clymer found a yellow diamond, weighing 3.85 carats. The diamond could be worth up to $60,000.
"I thought it was a piece of paper or foil from a candy wrapper," Tana said. "Then, when I touched it, I thought it was a marble. I think God pointed me to it. I was about to sprint to join my family, and God told me to slow down and look. Then, I found the diamond!"She named the diamond "God's Jewel". Earlier this year, a 12-year-old North Carolina boy named a 5.16 carat diamond he found there "God's Glory". Being the good Christians this girl and her family are, they're donating the money they receive from the sale of "God's Jewel", and donating it to their local food bank.
Fuck no.
She's keeping that rock.
"She's either going to keep the diamond for a ring, or, if it's worth a lot, she'll want that for college."You know, they say that God works in mysterious ways. I don't get it. God lets a 14-year-old murder his algebra teacher with a box cutter in Massachusetts. Then, in the same week, he helps another 14-year-old find a diamond and pocket the money.
Look, I'm not upset that the kid found the diamond. And, if she wants to keep it, good for her.
But, if you're going to credit someone for pointing it out to you, at least pretend to do something with the money that that person would have wanted. There are so many horrible things happening in the world, I'm sure that helping a kid in the Ozarks find a diamond was not high on his To Do list. And, if it was, I'm sure his reason for aiding in its discovery was not so that some teenage kid could put it in a ring.
Mysterious as fuck, if you ask me....
*Who in the hell vacations in Arkansas? Could things get any more depressing? The only time I "vacationed" in Arkansas, was to visit my grandmother while she was undergoing open heart surgery. That's three weeks of my life I'll never get back.

Vine Vednesday
I'm sort of a late adopter when it comes to Vine. But, I'm starting to realize that it's a fantastic medium to make something original and creative. Writing a novel is difficult. That's why I haven't written one, yet. It's somewhat overwhelming to try to fill 250 pages. The same could be said for creating a two hour long movie. Comparatively, six seconds is easy. And, it's amazing what can be said...what can be done...in six seconds. I'm addicted.

Your Body Positive Daily Affirmation
She's a Seattle area poet and singer/songwriter. You may know her as the woman singing the chorus in Macklemore's 'Same Love'.
She is an amazing poet. Her spoken word reminds me a lot of Ani Difranco. This is a poem that she recorded last year. It's called 'Body Love'.
Today is Love Your Body Day. Don't be ashamed of who you are or what you look like. Stop trying to fit into molds that other people have for you. Stop reading beauty magazines. They will only make you feel ugly.
The lyrics to 'Body Love' can be found here.

JW Library App Surprisingly Unimpressive
Currently, the app is the 113th most popular free app in the App Store. At one point on Monday, it was the third most popular iOS app, and in the top 20 for Android. In the last three days, the app has seen over 100,000 downloads on Apple devices alone. There have been over 100,000 downloads on Android, as well.
In the Google Play Store, the app currently has 19,809 reviews. 19,638 are five star reviews. On iOS, it has a total of 14,059 reviews, 13,878 of which are five star. That's 99.1% and 98.7% respectively. Reading some of these reviews, it appears that most people believe that God himself programmed the code.
"All glory, honor, and praise to the only true and living God Jehovah who has provided."
"I love this app. So simple. So easy. Jehovah always gives the greatest gifts."
"Yes and now there is an app for that - for our newly clarified nwt bible and references to the extreme. Bible highlights here I come! Thank you Jehovah. You truly are so good..."
So, late last night, I downloaded the app on my phone. And, I have to admit, I'm not really impressed.
First of all, the "library" has a total of 6 Bible translations - The New World Translation (2013 Revision), a "Reference Bible", the Kingdom Interlinear, the Byington translation, the American Standard Version, and the King James.
That's it. With the dozens of books and brochures that Jehovah's Witnesses have published, and the hundreds of editions of The Watchtower and Awake! that have been produced, the only JW-published publication on the app is the Bible.

Here is just one clip from YouTube (there are dozens of them). It's of Waits as a guest on the Don Lane Show in 1981. It only takes a few seconds before your mind is blown.
It really bothers me how everyone was laughing at him. I guess people tend to mock what they don't understand.

'In Utero' Turns 20
I've always enjoyed listening to 'In Utero' more than 'Nevermind'. To me, it has always sounded more refined. The band matured greatly in the short time between the two albums. I wonder sometimes what would have been possible had they had a chance to continue recording.
DGC Records issued the 20th Anniversary version of the album, yesterday. It includes three CDs and a DVD, featuring the original mix of the album, along with a remix, demos, and live tracks. I've been listening to it for the last hour or so. If you're a Nirvana fan, I recommend it.

"HOW TO HELP: TO DONATE MONEY TO THE FAMILIES OF THE VICTIMS OF TUESDAY'S ATTACKS: UNITED WAY (THEN A PHONE NUMBER)...AMERICAN RED CROSS (THEN A PHONE NUMBER)...SALVATION ARMY (PHONE NUMBER)...CATHOLIC CHARITIES USA (PHONE NUMBER)"
When Ed Kowalczyk, Live's frontman and 'Overcome's songwriter, saw the video later in the week, he eagerly gave MTV Networks permission to use the song. In fact, the footage was later re-edited and became part the track's "official" video.
It seemed as if the video played every ten minutes, like clockwork, on every single music video channel on cable television. In the week immediately following September 11th, I must have seen it over a hundred times. The video has become one of my strongest memories.
It has been 12 years, and I still can't wrap my head around it sometimes. It's so surreal....

Fifty Years, And Still Dreaming
Over the years, I have heard a number of different stories of how that iconic speech came about. Some say that Dr. King's prepared remarks had blown away from the podium in the afternoon wind. Others claim that a woman in the front of the crowd shouted, "Tell them about the dream", referring to a sermon given in Detroit earlier in the year. One thing is certain: The majority of King's sixteen minutes on stage were ad-libbed.
On the surface, it may appear that in 50 years, King's dream has been realized. But, look closer.
When authorities are faced with the necessity of listing an offense as a "hate crime", we are still dreaming. When politicians rush through so-called "voter ID laws", in order to make voting more difficult for minority voters, we are still dreaming. When African-Americans make up only 13% of the general population, but account for 40% of our nation's prison population, we are still dreaming.
So long as the United States has over 1,000 active hate groups, our dream will not come true. So long as political pundits and commentators are able to make a living, shamelessly race baiting and fear mongering, our dream will never come true. So long as police are given authority to "stop and frisk" a person, simply for the crime of
It's difficult not to take a "glass half empty" look at civil rights and race relations. Yes, in 50 years, we have taken many steps forward. But, at times, it's almost as if we've taken twice as many back.

Why Jehovah's Witnesses Are Drawn To The Muppets
About 20 years ago, an old Witness friend told me about this. He said there were days when it was the only thing to get him through the day at Bethel.
Did you know that the lyrics of Kingdom Melody #117, 'Marriage - God's Arrangement', match up perfectly with 'The Muppet Show' theme song? It does....and it's GLORIOUS.
I thought I would have a little fun, and added new lyrics to a video of 'The Muppet Show' opening. Enjoy.

Quote Of The Day
"Please know that I am deeply sorry. I am sorry for the pain and hurt many of you have experienced. I am sorry that some of you spent years working through the shame and guilt you felt when your attractions didn’t change. I am sorry we promoted sexual orientation change efforts and reparative theories about sexual orientation that stigmatized parents. I am sorry that there were times I didn’t stand up to people publicly 'on my side' who called you names like sodomite—or worse. I am sorry that I, knowing some of you so well, failed to share publicly that the gay and lesbian people I know were every bit as capable of being amazing parents as the straight people that I know. I am sorry that when I celebrated a person coming to Christ and surrendering their sexuality to Him that I callously celebrated the end of relationships that broke your heart. I am sorry that I have communicated that you and your families are less than me and mine."
- Alan Chambers in an apology to the LGBTQ community.
Chambers is the head of Exodus International, the most recognized "ex-gay" organization in the world. With the apology, came the announcement that Exodus would be closing their doors permanently as of yesterday. Founded in 1976, Exodus had 100 office locations within the U.S. at its peak, and over 150 locations worldwide. They were the leaders in so-called "reparative therapy", the belief that gay and lesbian people could become straight with the help of god.
In the last 12 months, Chambers has changed his position on a number of issues involving Exodus and the LGBTQ community. He was an ardent supporter of the "ex-gay" movement, citing himself as an example of its success. In recent months, he's said that he doesn't consider himself gay, yet he doesn't think of himself as heterosexual. He stated that he was confused about his own sexual identity. He has questioned whether reparative therapy is effective, and, as we can see, has realized how much damage him and his movement has done in this world.
A documentary will be airing tonight on OWN at 10PM, focusing on the "ex-gay" community and Alan Chambers in particular. I'm expecting to see a couple of bombshells being revealed.
......Aaaaaaaand It's Gone
I've been having an issue with chronic fatigue in recent weeks. I generally am up and going between 9 and 10AM. On most days, anywhere between 4 and 6PM, my body literally shuts down. Within a matter of minutes, I go from wide awake to having to force my eyes open. If I don't lay down, the room starts to spin. The walls go wavy. It's scary.
I discovered a couple of days ago that I was accidentally taking one medication, thinking it was another. Instead of taking Pilocarpine, which helps me generate saliva, I was taking two EXTRA Proplanalol a day. I can't remember offhand what Proplanalol does, but it's used as a blood pressure medicine. I'm also taking Lisinopril and Clonodine, which are also blood pressure medications. The Clonodine helps with my Tourette's, and can work as a pain reliever when coupled with the Lyrica I'm taking. So...long story short (too late), I was taking a total of seven doses of three different blood pressure medications daily. It's a wonder I didn't die in my sleep.
When you're taking (not including any ibuprofen or pain medication) four dozen pills every day, it's easy to get confused.

Leave Kim Kardashian's Fat Armpits Alone
Yes, she gained a few pounds during her pregnancy. Who doesn't? Granted, she wore upholstery fabric to the Met Gala. Probably not the best decision. But, then again, Kardashians aren't exactly known for making good decisions. Just look at the jackass who's fathering the baby.
But I digress... Is it really necessary to embarrass a celebrity on the cover of a magazine, because she got "fat" during her pregnancy? Is that really the best message to be sending to your readers? You're telling 240 pound housewives that someone will "never be sexy again", because they hit 220 pounds during pregnancy.

From the Reddit page:
My Book of Bible Stories is a children's book published by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society (the organization that rules over Jehovah's Witnesses).
It was designed to make the loathsome stories in the Bible as kid-friendly as possible. The art contained in it was notoriously horrible and the pandering language unintentionally hilarious.
This subreddit was created to rewrite the stories to make them more accurately reflect the truth according to normal modern sensibilities about the backwards, barbaric nature of much of the Bible... and to have a few laughs.Today, we'll start with an introduction....

Cover Song Of The Day - No Diggity....No Doubt
GIF Of The Day - Booter And Ole
I Love You, You Know...
Bl4ck D4ys Ind33d...
In July/August of 2011, I decided to purchase my own custom domain name. The Daily Twitch was already taken. So, after a couple of days debating various names, The Twitch Online was born.
As the following months eventually became years, "Twitch" was no longer an appropriate identifier for the website. This blog started as a way to document my recent Tourette's diagnosis. Since then, the focus of the blog has changed, as has my life. My Tourette's Syndrome is the LEAST of my concerns.
It's a daily struggle (with myself, mind you) to be a good father and husband. Since starting this site, and in addition to the Tourette's and PTSD, I have been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, a Chiari Malformation, a massive, inoperable but benign cyst in my brain, Fibromyalgia, and Sjogren's Syndrome. The day after tomorrow, I find out if I have Multiple Sclerosis or not. And, that's in addition to three spinal surgeries that I had in 2011. I'm as much "Twitch" anymore as I am the Sultan of Burnei.
Change is inevitable.
A few weeks back, I started taking steps to change the site name to "Fell On Black Days". The first changes came to the Facebook page and some of the cosmetics on the site. Point of advice: Always...ALWAYS...do your research before you follow through on any plans you have.
I changed the page name in a number of different areas...without checking first if it was available. "Fell On Black Days" is the title of a popular song by Soundgarden. That being said, it was not available in any form or variation...anywhere. I didn't choose the name based upon the song title. I thought it was a fun play on words. "Black Days"...Nicholai Black. You know? It also described how I "fell into" this current mess of medical issues. I thought it would make a nice name for an autobiographical blog.
Eventually, I figured out that I had to pull a license plate trick on the page's name. Substitute the A's for 4's. Bl4ck D4ys was born.
Another item I should have researched was how Google would react to the name change. After the fact, I found out that, when going from a "blogname.blogspot.com" address to a custom URL, Google will automatically redirect any search results that point to your site. However, when you go from a custom domain to a "blogname.blogspot.com" address, or from "oneblog.blogspot.com" to "anotherblog.blogspot.com", Google actually prevents any redirect from happening. This is a security measure that is in place, to prevent spam websites from bouncing around from URL to URL.
Up until a couple of days ago, there were a number of search terms that Google had my page listed as their top result. Most of them were in regards to stories I had written about Jehovah's Witnesses. If you searched "Jay Z Jehovah's Witness", "Jehovah's Witnesses Bisexual", or even "Tattoo Guy Lady Gaga", The Twitch Online would come up first. Google brought me a lot of traffic. I had no idea how much until this week.
See if you can guess when I changed my page name.. |
Usually, I could count on 20-30 pageviews per hour, or 250+ per day. 95% or more came from Google searches. There hasn't been a single view on the page for three days. That hasn't happened since the week the blog was started four years ago. Four years of building search algorithms...down the drain.
I'm starting over. I have no choice. Yes, it's heartbreaking and extremely depressing. I've cried a number of times this week. But, what else can I do? I've worked to hard on this to give up. I can't walk away from 1200 posts. What would you do?
For those of you that have been with me since the beginning, thank you. There are a number of you that I have come to know quite well over the years. I appreciate your support.
Buckle up. Please keep all hands and feet in the car at all times. Enjoy the ride.....

Cover Song Of The Day - Supermassive Black Hole (On Two Cellos)
Today's cover comes from 2Cellos. On their latest album, they cover Muse's 'Supermassive Black Hole'. What took me by surprise was not how well the cellists covered Muse (they're amazing), but that 'Glee's' Naya Rivera guests on vocals. It makes a really good combination.
The official video for the song is horrid. Extremely cheesy and corny. And, the cellists constantly make those "WOW! I TOTALLY JUST KICKED ASS ON THAT F NOTE!" faces. It's the same reason I stopped listening to Metallica when they got that new bass player. That, and Metallica sucks ass, now. The only reason I'm embedding the official video is because HOLY GLEE CLEAVAGE BATMAN....

Pinterest Finally Letting Users Pin Nudity (NSFW)
Today, Pinterest announced that they will finally ease up their restrictions on pinning pornography. Since the site started, they've had a pretty strict no nudity policy. Other Internet entrepreneurs have capitalized on this policy, creating porn-only Pinterest-like sites. Pornterest comes to mind. Pinterest executives said,
"Pinterest is about expressing your passions and people are passionate about art and that may include nudes. So we're going to try to accommodate that."FINALLY!
I'm not saying that I've been counting the days until I could post something vulgar on a social networking site. But, there are a number of photos that I find very beautiful, that I would like to share. If you know me, you know that I'm a fan of tattoos and body modification. I'm also a very sexual individual. My sexuality is just as much a part of me as my political ideologies or belief system. It's going to be somewhat refreshing to be able to share my interests with my friends and other like minded individuals out there.
So, what should be my first NSFW pin? Perhaps this?
