R.I.P. Isaac Hayes. Chainlink vest wearin', bald-headed, muscular, shades, gold jewelry. There was cool, and then there was Isaac Hayes. I can only imagine the impact he must've had when he came to fame, looking and sounding different than his contemporaries. I'm not even gonna front like I have his albums and know a lot of his music, I know some, but I also know an ill individual when I see one, and Mr. Hayes obviously had charisma to spare. The man won Grammys, an Oscar, starred in movies, inspired countless rappers, and played the iconic "Chef" on an otherwise (in my opinion) overrated t.v. show. I stay on the path towards pursuing my full potential by remembering what men like him pushed themselves to achieve.
Electrifying conclusion: I can't stand these R.I.P. posts. My last 3 blogs have included mini-tributes to great entertainers. I don't get too sad b/c death is a part of life, but you always get the sense that unfinished business is being left in the world, but I guess that's also a part of life. I'm a fan of closure, and death isn't always closure. Isaac Hayes, ironically enough, had a film coming up co-starring, yup, Bernie Mac. One of my favorite Isaac Hayes performances was his role in "I'm Gonna Get You Sucka." Remember this funny shit?

Hey, if you call me and don't leave me a message, it's like you never called me. If you call me and your message says for me to "call you back," I won't call you back...I think I'm gonna write a song called "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants." The world needs my take on that title...So, Brock Lesnar just might make it in MMA after all, huh?...Cheney said that Russia's aggression towards Georgia "must not go unanswered." Meaning, "Russia's fucking up our oil game out there, and we're prepared to lean on them, at the least, to restore order."
Scientist are bending light now, or some "Avatar" shit. This is the first step toward creating 
invisibility cloaks. Reuters says, "Scientists have created two new types of materials that can bend light the wrong way, creating the first step toward an invisibility cloaking device. One approach uses a type of fishnet of metal layers to reverse the direction of light, while another uses tiny silver wires, both at the nanoscale level.
Both are so-called metamaterials -- artificially engineered structures that have properties not seen in nature, such as negative refractive index. "In naturally occurring material, the index of refraction, a measure of how light bends in a medium, is positive," he said.
"When you see a fish in the water, the fish will appear to be in front of the position it really is. Or if you put a stick in the water, the stick seems to bend away from you."
These are illusions caused by the light bending when it moves between water and air.

NEGATIVE REFRACTION
The negative refraction achieved by the teams at Berkeley would be different.
"Instead of the fish appearing to be slightly ahead of where it is in the water, it would actually appear to be above the water's surface," Valentine said. "It's kind of weird."

Electrifying conclusion: Of course, they're downplaying the current significance and effectiveness of this technology, probably b/c they're already cloaking shit, and spying on niggas. Anytime I read about some new space-aged tech I automatically assume that we're being told about it 10-20 years after the government has decided what they're gonna do with it. Police forces already have invisible pain rays and hallucinogens that are used for crowd control, which they deny. Nothing is out of the realm of possibility as far as I'm concerned.
I'm StarPower, and I approve this message.
