Along with tattoos (both having them and being an artist), painting motorcycles, a couple of race cars and the this' and thats in life I also paint in oils. No, motorheads, not the kind that we use in our bikes. I'm talking about the pigmented kind - paintbrush and canvas kind. Recently I entered into a challenge with other artists to see who can reach 100 fans first so I'd like to ask you to join me at my Facebook Fan page Oils by Troy. Sign in and join. Thanks, peace & ... Read Full Story

Arizona Bike week has come and gone... I don't know, maybe it's because I live here, but I just don't see AZBW becoming anything bigger than a circus event for vendors and a few custom builders. I've been a couple of times, mainly because my brother went and it's always a kick to ride with my brother. It's something I've enjoyed ever since we were little and I watched his little red helmet go bobbing down the canal after his attempt to be the worlds next Evil Kni... Read Full Story

It is times like this that should cause us not to sit and sulk but to get up and get active. Now is the time that we can make a difference even if that difference is a simple conversation, a small donation or a helping hand to a brother or sister in need. While we watch our world seemingly crumble around us from the current economic crisis we must remember that a crisis a hundred fold greater has been pounding millions of people of this world for decades.Global issues like poverty are extre...

The following is an excerpt from The Invisible Children website. I could have gathered this clip from any news source on the net or print. I thought it important to give anyone visiting SCREAMING at the TV! an opportunity to visit the Invisible Children site and maybe, hopefully, get a new feel for this story. My thanks to the Invisible Children Network and all that they do.The International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir for his role in the d...

All the talking heads of the world are bitching and complaining about the OctaMom, Nadya Suleman, they can't believe that her story is still alive. The mainstream media is outraged (the best they can be) that Nadya is still getting attention. Not from them, of course, but from the producers of reality TV, the tabloids and all the other rag mags out there. Today, on the today show Anne Curry made a comment when NBC was running a story about the new supposed million dollar deal that Nady... Read Full Story

I've used articles by Alan Liptrot before, here's another that I think is worth the read. Ride Safe!Ten Motorcycle Tourers by Alan LiptrotSelecting a Tourer is a very personal thing, and I’m not saying that these ten machines are the best. Some may not be still in production, but they are all available, albeit second hand.

Nadya Suleman; a case study in what's wrong in America. Wow, that's a bit harsh...right? Nope--not at all, see from what I've witnessed Nadya Suleman represents what's wrong with our society. Not that our society is near collapse or that we're so maladjusted that we can never course correct, no, in fact, I'm certain that we can--this is all about attitudes.The attitude that allows some of us to think that it's okay to take taxpayer money and give out bonuses to th...

Ettarose, a long time reader of SCREAMING and an avid supporter of the humanitarian efforts and causes in this world recently left a comment regarding my post "Guantanamo Suspended: Thank You Mr. President."

I do NOT agree with the torture of them, but I would like to see justice done swiftly.If I may.... Read Full Story

Update for our Loans at KIVA: Team SCREAMING at the TV!Back in November and December I asked you to join me in making a microfinancing loan in the amount of $25.00. Thank you, to those that have. Some may have seen this as a bit risky. Maybe, but I'll take that risk. Some may have seen this as a bit too much in the time of financial crisis in America -- this is exactly the time we should be reaching out, helping others, helping those less fortunate than we are. I ask again, join me at... Read Full Story
