Reminder From Rufus

Reminder From Rufus

Hey all!

This will be the last reminder before the first annual Blackoutsabbath  
ritual takes place on Saturday, June 21st 2008 from noon to midnight  
all over the World. I'm assuming you folks out there haven't been  
bombarded with promo concerning the event: this is precisely my  
intention! I didn't want to push this project too hard and make it  
seem like some kind of media fad. Like the low grade fever that grips  
our planet, we need a low grade answer (not necessarily dramatic, but  
a CONSTANT reminder) to combat the marathon machinations we are about  
to experience, not to mention what we are experiencing right now!  
Don't get me wrong, the bigger the gesture the better. Still, any  
shift must last and in essence become a solid part of our lives. The  
other day I saw some guy on TV (wish I could remember his name)  
talking about how it is the simple organisms that survive on this  
planet, and that history is laced with examples of species dying out  
because they failed to cut back when their habitat required them to.  
On one hand it's frightening, but on the other it's possibly a  
testament to the greatness of humanity if we act on the fact that we  
as a species might actually have to de-evolve in a way in order to  
survive. IT'S REVOLUTIONARY, and has never been done in the whole  
history of the earth!  Still, I would bargain to say that not only the  
earth but in fact the entire Universe has never witnessed such a thing  
as "human beings" and that even if they can get a bit screwy, our  
brains are still our greatest asset. So good luck with your day off,  
do what you can, but most of all, keep trying.

  Love, Rufus

P.S. This message was pretty dry in terms of the comedy section, so  
below I attached a couple of emails, one from my mom and one from Jorn  
so you guys can chuckle a bit. (See the following two news posts.)  Also, don't forget to visit the site blackoutsabbath.org to get the specifics. Adios!
