look, i know this has been shitty for you, but i told you i needed space, and now you're hunting down other screennames and coming into chat rooms and stuff, and its starting to freak me out a little bit. i'm in a tough spot right now and it sucks, but this is where i am, and i need to be alone. i'm sorry if i'm hurting you, but i need to do what i need to do for me.

The answer revealed to me.
The question I'm asking for such a long time.
It was always in front of me,
but I couldn't find it since I was looking
in all the wrong places, different faces...
the pain was the same: Familiar yet comfortable.
The blameless now blames.
It's all coming back to me again.
I've been given a glimpse of what this could be.
A fleeting moment was all I got to see.
Holding onto the hope that you'll come to me.
All I will never be. All I'll never be.
The problem was always me;
My failure committing to something healthy.
This fear that you'll run from me,
but I never stayed long enough to find out.
My values they waver, my standards they change.
The truth is I'm frightened, closed-minded I stay.
The subtle is now screaming.
It's all coming back to me again.
Sometimes it ends up this way.
And this is my only complaint.
Sometimes it ends up this way.
This is my only complaint.
So I'm forcing the outcome.
Making things go my way.
The mess I created from living in yesterday.
The time I spend dreaming are just moments that pass me by.
Complaining is useless.
I've missed my chance to try.

I'm blacking out at work,
Losing minutes of my days to nothingness.
It's beginning to hurt to even hold my head up straight.
To hold this pen.
Call me out,
Tell me I'm acting, and I will tell you that we're all acting.
Life's a stage.
And it's set on fire.
And it's burning away one moment at a time.
My feet feel warm.
When I was young,
I thought that there would be only so many mouths that I would ever taste,
That teeth had nothing to do with kissing,
That it was hard to fall in love and even harder to fall out of love.
I never saw the weeds in the cracks of the parking lots and sidewalks.
Fuck, fuck, fuck, and run.
I want to hold on but am continuously pulling out the weeds.

Welcome back to day five of the MFT Teasers! I have a couple of fun cards to share with you tonight featuring the Fancy Butterflies Die-namics.
I used the Mini Album Fancy Ticket STAX Die-namics to create the first card. The Album STAX dies are perfect for creating shaped cards. I stamped the background with the Textile Backgrounds stamp set and Grape Jelly ink.
This set of dies includes four butterflies, two solid ones and two detailed ones. I cut one of the solid butterflies in Grapesicle card stock and the other in Grape Jelly.
My second card is a little wild! I went with the color combination from the Mixed Media Color Challenge, light pink, bright pink, and grey. One of the reasons that I love playing along with this challenge is that it gives me the chance to experiment with different mixed media mediums. The end result isn't always what I expected but I always have fun with it!.
I added a layer of Gesso to a piece of Smooth White card stock and I added some Tim Holtz Tissue. I used Cotton Candy, Razzle Berry, and Steel Grey ink to add the color to the background. I then added a little dimension with the Scallops Stencil and some embossing paste. The color was a bit brighter than I wanted so I tried to tone it down a bit with some Sweet Tooth Pigment Ink.
I die-cut the intricate butterflies in Steel Grey card stock and I added a light layer of Sheer Sparkle Glitter Glaze. The solid butterflies were cut in Cotton Candy and Razzle Berry card stock.
I kept the inside of the card fairly simple. I used the Textile Backgrounds stamp set and Steel Grey ink for the background. The thank you was die-cut with the new Thank You Die-namics.
I also added one more butterfly to the inside.
Be sure to check in on the MFT Blog daily to see the new products as they are unveiled, and for your chance to win one of seven, $75.00 Gift Certificates. The Brand Spankin' New items will be available on Tuesday, September 3rd at 10pm EST.

Poverty Reduction Blog Tag: Anti-corruption
A call for collective action on governance data
Posted on April 3, 2014 by Alicia Phillips Mandaville, Managing Director of Development Policy
It seems that everyone is talking about how data will shape our global future. It is a beautiful and unprecedented level of enthusiasm for data—bring it on! But bring it practically.
While we are getting excited about what data can do for development, let's also get excited about what we are finally in a position to do about development data. For too long, we have lacked credible numbers about many of the things we care most about—including comparative data on governance—and now people are finally starting to take note. But what can we actually do? As a first step, MCC and Global Integrity (with support from the Omidyar Network and The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation) are convening a group of global governance data users, producers and funders who are trying to identify collective action solutions to the way the current state of play affects the availability and quality of governance data.
MCC relies on independently produced, third-party data to drive the annual process of selecting country partners for large-scale grant investments in economic growth. We are painfully aware of data gaps, especially with regard to measurements of countries' efforts to fight corruption. For MCC's purposes, the data on our scorecard remains the best available measure of anti-corruption efforts that covers all low and lower middle income countries. However, no single data set can answer every question—particularly for something as complex as corruption.
At its heart, these data challenges are a collective action problem. Plenty of people want more and better data, but no one is really doing anything about it yet. Until the field of governance measurement as a whole is more coordinated, we will have gaps and overlaps in our collective knowledge. Heck, at this point, we still battle huge gaps and overlaps with respect to what data is available in a machine-readable format (what can I suck into my computer without first tediously rearranging and cleaning enormous spreadsheets).
The consequences of this are a big deal to MCC, but they extend way beyond us. MCC has experienced firsthand how frustrating it is to want to compare national-level education or health outcomes (like literacy or maternal health at delivery) and find the data lacking. It would be terrible if the thing that undermined global focus on governance issues was inadequate data. So we're trying something new.
In mid-April, MCC and Global Integrity are co-hosting a two day effort to convene global organizations that rely on governance data (governments and donors), organizations that produce governance data (largely third-party NGOs) and organizations that are working to enable improvements in the quality and availability of governance data (philanthropic foundations and academics). If we can get the people who have a data problem (users) in the same room with the people who can solve the problem (data providers and enablers), maybe we can make some real progress. We've been excited by the enthusiasm we've met so far.
What will come of this? We aren't sure. But no matter what, we'll end with much greater clarity between the users and producers of governance metrics (in part through some pre-event surveys that will be public shortly), and that's no small thing. But could we see a commitment to collectively move governance data into more easily useable spaces? A sort of alliance of actors who create or rely on the quality of the information available? What would that look like anyway, and what would it do?
A first step might be as technically wonky as agreement about the formats that data gets published in. Or a public calendar of when new data is available or being used. And while that sounds unexciting to outsiders, in the long run these are exactly the kinds of first steps that enable governance data to be broadly and regularly used by more than just MCC. Whether you care about measuring, monitoring, ranking, or investing – you have to start with useable data.
This kind of opportunity doesn't come along all the time—people are talking about and calling for data! And not just some data—global data! At MCC, we will continue to celebrate the fact that people are finally paying attention to the promise and potential of development data. That environment makes us keener than ever to get people focused on practical questions attached to resolving collective action problems in the data world. And, of course, keen to hear your perspective and ideas about next steps and solutions!
World Customs Organization Praises Threshold Program
Posted on June 9, 2011 by Bruce Kay , MCC Director for Threshold Programs
The Millennium Challenge Corporation's (MCC) second (Stage II) threshold program in Paraguay received international recognition last month at the Brussels meeting of the World Customs Organization (WCO). Specifically, Paraguay's web-based system for imports (referred to by its Spanish acronym, VUI), which was implemented at the Paraguayan Customs Office with support from MCC's Threshold Program, was recognized and praised in front of 200 country delegates.
This web-based system was designed, developed and implemented in approximately six months, record time for a process that has taken some countries years to develop, and with less success. This state-of-the–art, innovative technology will increase coordination across government agencies and departments; while five institutions currently participate, the goal is to link all nineteen institutions involved in the importation process to the VUI system, thus providing a high degree of efficiency to the system. The short design and implementation phase, and the proactive approach with participating institutions, reflects the high degree of political commitment on the part of the Government of Paraguay, particularly the Customs Director, to this endeavor.
At the meeting in Brussels, representatives from Paraguay shared their practical experiences and lessons learned in securing and sustaining the political and administrative will that is required to implement the VUI. The VUI was developed as part of the Threshold Program's customs component, which aims to strengthen the capacity of the customs office in order to reduce tax evasion and corruption. Since the government launched the VUI in July 2010, the cost and time required to process import permits from government institutions has been reduced, improving competiveness and transparency in customs operations.
Erich Kieck, the Director of the Capacity Building Directorate at the WCO said, "Paraguay stood out at the conference as an administration that took advantage of the assistance of the MCC. They followed through and implemented the international trade single window, despite many challenges. By overcoming these challenges, gaining political support and effectively using their resources, this administration demonstrated how important perseverance can be in reaching a goal. This achievement will result in gains for the Paraguayan government and economy and demonstrates how to move from ideas to actions."
Paraguay's Stage II Threshold Program began in 2009 and will complete all activities in April 2012. The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is responsible for administering Paraguay's Threshold Program on MCC's behalf. Watch this video to see how MCC and the Government of Paraguay are fighting corruption.
Fighting Corruption: Practices, Process and Progress
Posted on December 9, 2010 by Jolyne Sanjak, Managing Director, Technical Support
In 2010, MCC made significant progress in implementing its Fraud and Anti-Corruption Policy and procedures to prevent, detect and remediate fraud and corruption in MCC-funded activities. Today, International Anti-Corruption Day, is a time to review progress made in 2010 and determine where MCC is headed in 2011.
In 2010, MCC rolled out a new training course to assist Millennium Challenge Account entities (MCAs) in effectively understanding MCC's policy and their role as our partners in fighting fraud and corruption. The course trains MCAs in methods for recognizing corrupt acts, protecting the Compact against risks of fraud, and reporting wrongdoing. The training is mandatory for all MCAs and MCA staff. MCAs in Lesotho, Namibia, Tanzania and Senegal have already received this training; Mali, Mongolia and Morocco are slated for January and February 2011.
As part of a comprehensive, consistent and explicit approach to preventing, detecting and remediating fraud and corruption, MCC's policy requires that the MCAs put in place project-specific Action Plans to reduce risk. The Action Plans detail project-appropriate methods and mechanisms by which the MCA will manage risks of corruption; each plan includes a detailed timetable and monitoring strategy. These Action Plans are also made public in accordance with MCC's policy of transparency and accountability. An example of an Action Plan can be found on the MCA Burkina Faso web site. Others will be posted as the Action Plans are finalized and approved.
Corruption is difficult to eradicate. With commitment and perseverance, however, MCC and its partner countries can control and reduce the threat of corruption to achieving Compact goals of sustainable development, poverty reduction and economic growth. International Anti-Corruption Day reminds us that we can achieve this goal by working together with renewed resolve.
Guyana Advancing its Business Climate
Posted on February 25, 2010 by Carol Horning, USAID Mission Director
In August 2007, MCC launched a $6.7 million Threshold Program with the Guyanese Government to support the country's ambitious competitiveness strategy and reform plan focused on overcoming fiscal challenges, strengthening the procurement system, and creating an efficient business registration process. Together with interagency coordination, a focus on aid effectiveness, and Guyana's commitment to positive reforms, the MCC Threshold Program is delivering lasting and encouraging results.
The MCC-funded Threshold Program, implemented on the ground by USAID, focused on strengthening the Guyana Revenue Authority, strengthening the IT infrastructure, and training key staff to implement reforms. In addition, the customs administration was reformed to conform to global standard operating procedures that strengthen Guyana's competitiveness and trade opportunities.
Now, at the conclusion of this two-year program, many of Guyana's fiscal challenges have been tackled, with increased revenue generation and a more efficient business registration process. Guyana can now plan significantly for higher investments, resulting in sustainable development benefitting the country and its people. Meanwhile, strengthening the customs administration through the acquisition of new equipment is bolstering Guyana's capacity to address smuggling and trafficking activities.
At Guyana's Deeds Registry, company and business registrations have been converted from deteriorating paper documents into a state of the art electronic recording system. So far, over 5,000 company records and 90,000 business registrations have been computerized. The number of days to start a business in Guyana has also been reduced from 46 days to 30, all while anticipated legislation in Guyana is expected to reduce the start-up time even further, from 30 to 12 days. Simplifying and standardizing the registration process will improve the business climate for new investments. Even residents outside Guyana can now download business forms and register companies from anywhere in the world.
Though much of the program focused on training, IT infrastructure for various record systems as well as equipment for customs and policy reform have been critical for creating momentum to produce results. Increased tax revenue and compliance permit Guyana to now plan for greater investments in its own schools, clean water, and many other programs throughout the country that improve the standard of living for the Guyanese people. Working hand in glove, MCC and USAID are collaborating with Guyana to support not only the country's development but also its future as a partner in eliminating global poverty.

Liu has built seven pods which are able to float on water, some of which have their own propulsion. The airtight spheres with varying interiors contain oxygen tanks and seatbelts with space for around 14 people, and are designed to remain upright when in water.

CEO Note: Spanish Mediterranean Threatened By Seismic Airguns
I wrote to you recently about the U.S. government's plans to allow seismic airguns in the U.S. Atlantic. This technology, used to search for oil and gas deposits, could injure an estimated 138,200 dolphins and whales and usher in offshore oil drilling. A similar battle is occurring across the Atlantic, where the Spanish government is planning to open 45 percent of the Spanish Mediterranean to seismic surveys, putting local ecosystems and economies at serious risk.

Atlantic dolphins are in danger, and Miranda Cosgrove needs your help to save them. Recently, she joined Oceana in Bimini, Bahamas to swim with Atlantic spotted dolphins and film a new public service announcement (PSA) about how seismic airguns could harm Atlantic dolphins.
"When I first entered the water, the dolphins were playing with each other, swimming side by side, and they were constantly singing to each other—I could hear it! After a while they started to approach me and I could feel them look me in the eye. It was one of the best experiences of my life," said Cosgrove.

Here you will find news on the latest international eye care activities. This month's newsletter includes:
The Himalayan Cataract Project 2009 Annual Report is now available on the website. You can find it on this page in the News section of the site.
HCP Co-Directors Drs. Geoff Tabin and Sanduk Ruit attended the 25th Asia Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology (APAO) conference in Beijing and met up with HCP Board Member Professor Hugh Taylor and HCP Advisory Board Member Dr. David Chang. All board members participated in lectures and you can read more about the discussion on SICS versus Phaco in Eye World magazine.
Following the APAO, Dr. Chang arranged for Dr. Tabin to visit Project Vision's eye centers in southern China. "I am very impressed by what [Project Vision Director] Dennis Lam is accomplishing here. The attention to quality, detail and follow up is very good. They have an excellent training and skill transfer method and superb follow up and documentation of results. There is quite a bit that we can take from their program and it could be a great partnership for improving the quality in our efforts in both Lhasa and Xining."
- Geoff Tabin
In August, former HCP Fellow Dr. Nor Tshering led a team to the northern part of Bhutan to conduct two remote outreach eye clinics in Lunana and Laya. The Lunana area is the most remote region of Bhutan, accessible only by a ten-day walk from the nearest road on mule tracks. There are 150 households in the village which is situated at an altitude somewhere between 7,000 and 8,000 feet. In each village, the team screened approximately 100 patients and in Laya provided 18 cataract surgeries. To read the full account of the outreach workshops, please read "Eye Care Services to the Remote Areas of Bhutan." [PDF, 1.8Mb]
Dr. Kavita Dhakhwa, a cornea specialist from the Lumbini Eye Institute in Nepal, arrived at the John A. Moran Eye Center for the start of her three-month observational Cornea Fellowship. The fellowship is a collaborative effort between HCP and Seva Foundation and includes observing patients with varieties of corneal diseases and observing corneal surgeries."This program is inspiring me a lot and will help me to apply those experiences and knowledge in my practice back in Nepal. In short, this program is a wonderful experience in my career as a corneal surgeon."
- Dr. KavitaDr. Kavita will continue to Oregon to work with HCP Board Member Dr. Matt Oliva before returning to Lumbini. She is the second cornea specialist at Lumbini to be trained and the eighth corneal specialist in Nepal.
The Hetauda Community Eye Hospital is facilitating eye health awareness workshops for factory workers in various industries including a glaucoma awareness program where doctors share knowledge and initiate support groups for patients. Hetauda staff members are also collaborating with the local Red Cross in remote areas in the western part of Makawanpur District to screen workers and distribute medicine.The Hetauda Community Eye Center became a Community Eye Hospital in 2008 with HCP's support and has been expanding both its hospital and outreach services.
HCP Advisory Board Member George Like has concluded his latest overseas tour with USAID as Field Program Officer at Forward Operating Base Kala Gush in the Nuristan province of Afghanistan.
Mr. Like has a short reprieve before continuing to Suriname in November to serve with the US Peace Corps as Country Director.
Dr. Peter Osei-Bonsu, pediatric ophthalmologist at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH), led an outreach workshop restoring sight to 31 patients in Gyetiase, a small village with a population of 1,000. The workshop was a collaborative effort between Ashanti Development, an NGO based in London; Specsavers; KATH; and HCP. HCP continues to enthusiastically support outreach events that restore sight to the needlessly blind in the most remote locations.Mr. Eddie Botchway, inspector for construction at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, reports that the project is on schedule with site work and concrete and iron work underway. Here are a few photos of the project.
HCP's Job Heintz traveled to London for the launch of the London Vision Clinic Foundation's Humanitarian Laser Eye Surgery Program, whose aim is to bring awareness to the need for refractive care in Nepal.HCP has partnered with London Vision Clinic to develop the Refractive Surgical Unit at the Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology, a USAID-ASHA supported project that was approved in July 2009.The London Vision Clinic Foundation was established by HCP Advisory Board Member Professor Dan Reinstein to develop a permanent solution for refractive error for those who need it most. Tilganga's Dr. Kishore Pradhan and Mr. Gopal Karmacharya were also in London for the launch. Read more about the HCP and LVC partnership on our website.
On September 16, HCP's Emily Newick attended the Vision 2020 USA Right to Sight Meeting focused on children's eye health. The agenda included presentation of an award to Rep. Gene Green of Texas and speakers on domestic and international issues in children's eye health. A child goes blind every minute in the world today and up to 60% of those blind children will die within one year of becoming blind. Most of the blindness can be avoided with cost-effective treatments.
The Himalayan Cataract Project works to eradicate preventable and curable blindness through high quality ophthalmic care, education and the establishment of a world-class eye care infrastructure.Please visit our Web site at www.cureblindness.org to keep up with the latest HCP news. There you will also find information on HCP's finances, its founders, staff and board members, and ways that you can give the gift of sight.Remember, through the Himalayan Cataract Project it takes a gift of only $20 to provide life-changing cataract surgery to someone struggling with blindness in the developing world.

Seriously though, did Square Enix buy Riot or something? Hype something not hypeworthy a few months prior to the change, and keep customers in the dark.
Riot's motto: Yes ambiguity, no accountability.
Must be nice having a job with no solid deadlines, or even a vague timetable. I'd say not another red cent from me until this is released but Canada doesn't have cents anymore so not another silver nickel until this is released!
pls riot
Please, Riot.

Adding Up the Costs of Sprawl
posted Jun 30, 1999Next time your city, town, or county government is thinking about giving yet another developer permission for another humongous sprawling development on the fringe of town, tell town planners to sharpen their pencils. You and all the other current residents of the region will be helping to pay for that growth for years after the developer has moved on to the next green pasture. How do you figure?
According to the Sierra Club, the idea that development strengthens the local tax base has turned from fact in the 1980s to fiction in the 1990s. "Today," says Larry Bohlen in the organization's report, The Costs of Sprawl, "increases in tax revenues are eaten up by the costs to the community of delivering new services, including water and sewer lines, schools, police and fire protection, and roads for people who live far away from existing infrastructure."
For example, the city of Fresno, California has doubled in size since 1980, producing $56 million in yearly revenues, according to the Sierra Club. Yet the costs of services has risen to $123 million, not including costs for roads and sewers.
And it's the people in the inner cities who end up absorbing the additional costs created by those who have fled to the suburbs. According to a Florida State University study, the actual costs of providing new sewer hookups to the mostly Black, center-city neighborhoods near the sewage plant in Tallahassee, Florida, were $4,447. For the upscale Lakeside neighborhoods at the northern edge of the city, the actual costs for new sewer hookups were $11,442. Despite the nearly $7,000 difference in real cost, all households pay the same price, about $6,000, for sewer connections. That means that poor families living near the sewer not only have to put up with the smell, but they pay more for their hookups than it actually costs the government to serve them.
"Schools are the single most expensive item associated with new development," says Eben Fodor in his book Better Not Bigger, "yet the growth-related costs of schools are rarely calculated by the districts that must provide the facilities." To put this into perspective, from 1970 to 1990, Minneapolis-St. Paul closed 162 physically adequate schools in urban and central suburban areas. They opened 78 new schools in the outer suburbs during these two decades.
Sprawl also puts more cars on the road, since suburban drivers drive three times as much (and twice as fast) as inner city dwellers. Therefore, communities need more and bigger parking garages and spaces. According to Alan Durning of the Northwest Environment Watch, parking garages cost the community approximately $15,000 per space in construction expenses, which comes out of tax money or out of the pockets of local businesses. "Because businesses and households are forced to spend so much money providing parking, we pay more for the tomatoes at the grocery store, get lower wages, and pay extra for housing," says Todd Litman of the Victoria Transport Policy Institute in British Colombia.
On the whole, according to Fodor, studies on the cost of sprawl show that compared to outer suburbia, "compact, well-planned growth consumes about 45 percent less land and costs 25 percent less for roads, 20 percent less for utilities, and 5 percent less for schools." These, of course, are only monetary costs and don't include environmental costs, such as loss of open space and wildlife, increased noise, decreased air and water quality.

Each Saturday leading up to the start of UCLA's fall camp in August, we'll take an in-depth look at the Bruins' gridiron opponents in 2013. This week, we open with Nevada and it's world-famous Pistol offense, which will have a new, unfamiliar leader at the helm in 2013.

Nevada's identity is arguably as defined as any other mid-major college football program ever has been. Most of that has to do with Chris Ault, the Wolfpack's former coach and pioneer of the Pistol offense -- a scheme that has exploded with popularity in recent years from college football to the NFL. You probably wouldn't know who Colin Kaepernick was without him. And we can all agree that would be a tragedy.

Anglo-American settlement began here in the 1820s when Stephen F. Austin's colony was founded a few miles to the northeast. The town was named after George Sealy, a director of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railroad. The community is rich in Anglo, Czech and German heritage.
The historic downtown features eateries and shops in the 1880s brick buildings. A self-guided driving tour features historic homes, businesses, churches and the home of the original Sealy Mattress. The old mattress factory has much of the same machinery and equipment from the early 1900s. Tours of the factory can be arranged through the convention and visitors bureau. 979/885-3222.

In the desolate, acid-washed year of 1988, two struggling souls crossed paths in the City of Angels. Sharing a passion for avant-garde theatrical arts and Queen-size rock & roll histrionics, Jack Black and Kyle Gass forged a friendship, dedicated themselves to the arcane craft of acoustic heavy metal, and formed a band/comedy act the likes of which had never been seen. Jack sang lead. Kyle led the guitar charge. They called themselves Tenacious D, and they crafted anthems about shiny demons, killing yaks with mind bullets, and their lone fan, Lee. Tenacious D chronicled their journey to the crested peak of rock goddery (at least in their own weed-muddled noggins) in a series of beloved HBO shorts in 1999. Soon after, they were rewarded with sold-out concert halls and later a platinum album. Yet the two-headed cult sensation realized that there was still one thing left to conquer: Movie Mountain. So they toiled on ideas for the next half decade with liberal breaks for naps and burrito runs. Under the stewardship of writer-director Liam Lynch (Sarah Silverman: Jesus Is Magic), they begat Nov. 22's Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny, which documents the duo's epic quest for a satanically powered guitar plectrum that would help them become, as self-prophesied, the greatest band of all time. (The film also features an appearance by Sasquatch.) Herewith, a colloquy with Black, 37, and Gass, 46, who sometimes are in character, sometimes not, but are always game to hold court.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Earlier this month, you attended the world premiere of your movie in London. What was that experience like?
JACK BLACK: We had to walk the red carpet in our king's robes, crowns, and scepters. We wanted to make a special splash for old London town. The peeps were excited to see the D and then we were whisked off directly to Jonathan Ross, who's England's Letterman. I guess he's England's Letterman-Leno because I don't think he's got any competish.
KYLE GASS: We're actually more popular per capital in England. Why? I don't know. Australia too. Australia has, like, 100 people living in it. And 60 of them [are D fans]. If we had that here, we'd have 170 million fans... I'm kind of into math.
How does it feel to finally give birth to a D movie?
JB: We didn't put in half as much work as Star Wars yet it's better than Star Wars.
KG: We're entertaining the notion of winning the Nobel Prize for comedy.
JB: There's such a dropkick and power punch that you're going to wake up after the movie's over not because you fell asleep out of boredom, but because you are physically knocked out, drooling, eye blood, nose booger. But in a good way.
KG: You'll probably have minor diarrhea.
Did the greatest band of all time set out to make the greatest movie of all time?
JB: Look at the other greatest things of all time, like ''Stairway to Heaven.'' Was Jimmy Page trying to write the greatest song ever written when he wrote the greatest song ever written?
KG: He actually was.
JB: He was? Tell 'em, Kage.
KG: He set out to make the greatest rock and roll song ever. He had the music, and then Robert Plant wrote out his dumbass lyrics in like a half hour, and it worked.
JB: Dude, the Robert Plant lyrics were good on that song!
KG: You like them?
JB: I don't know what he means all the time, but they're evocative of poetic things. [To see Black's list of the top 5 music movies of all time, click here.]
Didn't the talk about a film start soon after the HBO show?
KG: These two women executives said, ''We will give you one million dollars.'' And at the time we didn't have a lot of money and it seemed like insanity. Then we came back to earth like, we would split that, and that would be for everything and also you'd sell the rights to your first child.
JB: [To Kyle] Didn't they also give us each a $100 advance?
KG: I talked them into that.
JB: We tried to write it with a friend of ours, and there was no inspiration there. We said, ''Forget it, we're not writers. Let's just take pitches.'' [In one version of the script, the duo would embark on a ''lost city of Atlantis''-type adventure. ''It was very funny but not our sense of humor,'' recalls Black]. So then we were working with Liam on some short films for the concerts. He was like, ''Dude, we'll write [the script] together, it'll be your vision,'' and we were like, ''Yeah, let's try it. We'll have fun with Liam.'' And we realized that it should just be, plain and simple, the story of Tenacious D, like a biopic, from the beginning to the end of our first adventure to become the greatest band on Earth. And we came up with the concept of the guitar pick of destiny, put a Da Vinci Code conspiracy spin on it, and wrote the script pretty fast. It was only like a month and a half... Then we took it around town, and New Line was really the only one that believed in us. And they were into Liam, even though he had not directed any features before. Then I did King Kong, and two years later we made it.
What were your influences for Pick of Destiny?
KG: There's a little Karate Kid in there.
JB: There's a lot of Spinal Tap, because that is the benchmark. What's a really funny rock movie since then? I'm gonna say zero. There's some Cheech & Chong, Beavis and Butt-head. A big influence was Indiana Jones part 2, the bad one, with the devil guy with the pumping heart. There's a bit of Jaws.
Why Jaws?
JB: I just like Jaws, so I wanted to say anything I like.
KG: I like The Graduate. That's one of my favorites.
JB: [To Kyle] Don't say, ''I like it.'' Say, ''There's some Graduate in there.''
KG: Rosemary's Baby is one of my faves.
JB: Stop saying it's your favorite!
What was the toughest thing about making the movie?
KG: Coming up with the story. Once we had a story that we liked, it just took on its own momentum.
JB: And writing the music.
KG: Writing the music was hard.
JB: It's the same as writing a song. What's the hardest part: subject matter and music? What's the hardest part of making a burrito? Getting the ingredients. What's the secret to making a good burrito? I don't care how good of a burrito maker you are, what are you using five-day-old lettuce or fresh?
KG: Fresh.
JB: Exactly. You must bring the fresh lettuce.
So how do you guys manage the songwriting duties? Do you really stare at each other until ''inspirado'' hits?
KG: For this movie, we had to write them to order. The script came first and we'd go, ''All right, we need a sensitive ballad here, we need a rockin' opening there.'' But the classic Tenacious D songwriting is Jack or myself will have an idea I might have a riff and we'll improv. And once Jack's feeling it, we turn on the tape recorder and start jamming, improv on that riff, improv on those lyrics, and then go back and see if there's anything good in there.
JB: For me, it's all about the funny subject matter. Kyle wrote a great riff for the album that's in the closing credits. But it sat there for a long time. Then I came up with a subject matter for it called ''The Metal.'' I'm like the Devil and I'm singing about how other forms of music have tried to win, but the metal always wins because it's stronger. And that could sustain a song because it's funny, and it also points out the ridiculousness of music being macho. There's something weird about saying, [in deep, evil voice] ''This is the music of the warlords! And after I finish playing, I will use my ax to chop thee in half!''
