if you have been tell me if its cool.. my brother went and he said it was incredible...
i want to buy a place on one of those crazy palm islands...
i think its a great monument to the hubris of man and for sure they will sink onto the ocean as a karmic ego check to man-kind.. but i think i will get over the feeling that i am contributing to something evil... the pull of the darkside is great...

once their oil runs out in 2015 all that crazy prince will have is tourism. Saw them make that island on National Geographic channel. incredible engineering. kind of sad though, in a way- humans constantly trying to master nature, then nature comes in with a bitch slap! Sisyphean (sp?).
Dubai is architecturally fascinating but I felt it was a little creepy. I won't bore you with paragraphs of text but suffice it to say, its kinda the Vegas of the Middle-east/Africa, complete with third-world elites and arms dealers subbing in for the white trash.
Oh, and Kaddafi in lieu of Elvis.
Hey, you laugh, but there really is a flipside to Moammar that we Anericans aren't really aware of. He spends alot of time looking out for Africa and most African countries see him as their Bill Clinton - personally a little flawed but T.C.B. none the less.
Plus, he's actually damn witty. I mean, really cynically funny. Read a BBC interview sometime.
I'm not a fan, mind you, but it was enlightening to see him through another culture's eyes.
all those middle eastern dictator types know how to throw down. when the u.s. forces searched one of saddam's sons' houses they found a shitload of porn, coke, heroin, and the dude kept a monkey cage right next to his bed so the thing could watch him knock boots. that is how you party.
Talk about SACKING UP (pay attention Erik):
Our buddy Moammay gave the big ol' finger to the conservative muslim clerics by appointing the protection branch of his special forces (think Secret Services and Seal-Team mashed together) as all women.
So think, the next time you see a picture of Qaddaffi with a bunch of hot-ass fit Libyan women, chances are each one of them is packing AUTOMATIC heat and can and WILL snap you in two for looking at him the wrong way.
THAT'S how to party AND sack-up.
