Friday Morning Perspective from Global Warming 2008-02-22 09:05:00 Oh man oh man, I'm excited! Not only is the north experiencing a hella cold winter, but there may be proof out there that the ice caps are growing back. Not just proof, but scientific fact and historical record. It's what I've been saying all along. We're all getting worried for nothing over the ice caps and Global
Warming. It's all scare tactic bullshit. They know the truth. What's the truth?Well, before Al Gore took up the cause and erased all the history behind me, Global Warming
from his speeches, there was actual documented history. Before there were SUV's pumping greenhouse gases into the world.From the Washington Times:D.C. resident John Lockwood was conducting research at the Library ofCongress and came across an intriguing Page 2 headline in the Nov. 2, 1922 edition of The Washing Read more:Morning

Sunday Night Contemplation 2008-02-10 20:31:00 So if a heavy hurricane season, like the one that gave us Katrina was supposedly caused by Global Warming, what do we attribute the last two hurricane seasons to? There were no hurricanes to speak of that hit land in the U.S.. Is that Global Warming too? And if so, what does that say about Global Warming? Just wondering. Read more:Sunday

Obama vs. Hillary vs. McCain Cage Match Part One! 2008-02-07 12:05:00 So now Hillary
and Obama
are neck and neck in the Democratic primary. A woman versus a black guy. And that's really what it boils down to. Doesn't matter about their agendas or their buckets of lies, it's a black guy and an ugly chick. So if you're a dem, what do you do? Well, you vote for McCain
. That's what you do. McCain may be standing on the Republican side, but a lot of his ideals and his voting directions have been closer to the liberal side of things. He's a centrist. He's everything that the right wing republicans and the left wing democrats aren't, but embodies the true moderate conservative and moderate liberal values. Which is what this country needs. I've heard a lot of whining and bellyaching from the religious right, saying that McCain is too liberal to vote for and they wil Read more:Match
Giants Win 2008-02-03 21:22:00 Wow. As I predicted the other day - that the Patriots would win - I did not really see the Giants
coming on like that and winning. However, I did have my Giants pennant up (from when I owned a Deli - to appease the New Yorkers) as well as my McFarlane L.T. figure standing guard over the TV. So, I sent an email to my boy Sage up in Boston. He's been to a lot of parades over the last couple of years, it can't hurt that bad to be missing this one right? His response: "How about you go fuck yourself."Emotional huh? Well, good for the Giants. Now, is it Baseball season yet?
Mmmm... Non Kosher Foods 2008-02-02 17:32:00 I'm going straight to Jew hell. Which, by my estimates is a cross between Detroit and any given small town in the Bible Belt, with no deli. Anywho, I just put over 8 pounds of PORK ribs in the fridge to marinate for my superbowl grill out tomorrow. I can taste that pig now. In related news, I bought a new TV to go with, well, nothing. It was just time. It's a 42" LCD HDTV. It was on sale at Best Buy. It didn't fit in my entertainment center though, so I use my reciprical saw to cut off three inches on each side of the entertainment center. You should have seen the wife, thinking the whole thing was going to come crashing down. It didn't, I got the TV hooked up and now it looks fucking sweet. I can't wait until the kids go to bed and see what porn looks like on the thing. College basketball Read more:Kosher

I pulled into the Truck Stop and there she was.... 2008-01-30 15:37:00 You know what I love about getting blood work done? The fact that usually the woman taking my blood looks about as qualified as a down syndrome kid driving a truck cross country, in the rain. It always seems like a waffle house waitress got tired of flipping greasy eggs and decided to go slumming in the blood lab. Speaking of that, I went to Chili's the other day. Usually, you would expect nothing but young, hot waitresses, or at least young ones. Girls, guys, whatever you like. Anyways, the one by my work has some real geezers employed there. Our waitress was this haggard old skeezer, with a face that said "I was pretty once, but multiple abusive husbands and a lifetime of drugs and sex on the side of dumpsters has left me looking like bigfoot took a huge shit on a log and set it on fire.

The severed head of Walt Disney says "Hello!" 2008-01-29 13:47:00 So I was at Disney
World this weekend, fulfilling my annual obligation to go with the family. As much as that place sucks, it wasn't that bad since it was a limited attendance event. They only let 10,000 people in. So it wasn't that crowded, and it rained, so that was even better. However, I still feel like I have jet lag or something, I guess it's Disney lag. I just can't seem to get out of this fog I'm in. The point I'm trying to get at though is that I have a theory about some of the Disney employees. When I was there, I payed close attention to the sheer amount of employees that Disney has and the ridiculous amount of them that are most likely retards. Not just retards, but I'm thinking cloned retards. Stay with me here.If there is any company in the world that has the resources to clo Read more:Hello

Balls 2008-01-28 13:08:00 So I just realized this morning that I will be turning 30 this year. Yeah, I know a lot of you are much older than that, but still it's some kind of milestone right? Anyways, although my birthday is a good 8 months away, I'm still already thinking about it. It's giving me some unwanted anxiety for the day. So I should explain myself, why I haven't posted anything in quite a while and why you are stuck with this whining crap. Cause I haven't felt like it? Got a problem? Go fuck yourself.So aside from pondering my own mortality, I've also been pondering this election thing that's happening this year. Tomorrow I get to vote here in Florida. I'm really torn as to how I want my vote to go, even though I know it doesn't count (more on that in a moment.) I'm of course looking to stick to my party Read more:Balls
Humanity at it's best... 2008-01-09 11:10:00 If you read nothing else this year, read this at least:From MSNBC:Maj. Andrew Olmsted was shot and killed by a sniper in Diyala province on Jan.3. His was a dangerous job in a still-dangerous place in Iraq.Before he left for this tour, Olmsted knew he might not make it home. As an avid blogger for the "Rocky Mountain News" paper, he prepared for his own possible death by writing a final entry to be posthumously posted on his own Web site should he be killed. He wrote, "This is an entry I would have preferred not to have published…" The 3,000-word blog thanks his friends and family, quotes Plato and the sci-fi show "Babylon 5," and urged his readers not to politicize his death."If you think the U.S. should stay in Iraq, don't drag me into it by claiming that somehow my death demands us s
Scam me once.... 2007-11-29 07:58:00 So I had an unauthorized charge in my bank account this morning. It was from some marketing company for a subscription to something. I called, and the lady said it was to an adult website. I'm like, which one? She didn't know. How could she know it was to an adult website but not know which one it was for? Complete bullshit. It's a fucking scam. See, what they do is they get all these account numbers, either through stealing or through buying lists, then charge a bunch of people a low amount like the $34.99 I was charged. She was very quick to offer a refund, but was very suspicious as to where my data came from and what adult site or service it was for. Hell, if I'm paying for it - I want to know! Needless to say, I'm closing that account and opening a new one at another bank since the ac
Cookies and Punch? 2007-11-28 07:24:00 Fucking lame. Fucking lame as shit. Because shit is lame. That's how I feel about that bullcrap. You know, I was thinking about the war in Iraq the other day, how it's still going on and how there really is no exit strategy. What if we just set off a nuke in the middle of Baghdad on our way out and say that they did it as a last gasp effort to kill our soldiers. That sounds like a good idea, just turn the place into glass. Then hopefully the fallout would drift to Iran and turn them all into mutant zombies. In other news, the latter half of this year (as evidenced by my posting frequency) has been some sort of raccoon fucking a badger in a barrel. It's been one anxiety after another, with stress and distress causing confusion and misdirection. I'm hoping to get back on track in January, as Read more:Cookies

This Post is just a reflection of a reflection 2007-11-13 09:15:00 I took my pills this morning right? Right? Was that out loud? I'm talking to the oven, so I don't think it matters. Somehow I find myself on my hands and knees on the floor staring into an empty oven. I'm suddenly wondering what I'm looking for on the floor if anything. That would be the only logical reason for being down here. I look at my reflection
in the glass and ask myself if I remembered to take my pills this morning, I don't want to double dose if I already took them. I should check the planner. I look down, there is a pill under the edge of the oven. I pick it up with my left hand and sit down. I open my right hand, there is a pill in my palm. It's partially dissolved from my sweat. My knuckles are red from holding me up against the tile. I lick the pill off my hand, then I wonder
And I'm taking my stapler with me. 2007-11-01 07:59:00 I just started writing my letter of resignation. I can't wait to use it. I really hate this place now. Even though they gave me more money and a sideways promotion, this place is a sinking ship and I don't want to drown in it. Fuck these retards. However, it's a tough market out there right now. It's trouble trying to find a job close to home doing what I do. I'll just start knocking off 7-11's.
Like my ugly 4th cousin, I'd prefer not to look at you. 2007-10-18 19:00:00 Ok. Update for what little readership I have left (all two of you.) Got a sort-of promotion at work. Getting screwed on raise. Hopefully will get it. Been ultra busy. Blogger blocked from work. In other news, the Indians are looking to finish off Boston tonight and head to the World Series for the first time since that ugly Marlins loss. Anyways, Go TRIBE. Fuck the Yankees and the Red Sox can eat a dick.Until then. Read more:cousin
Week One NFL Picks 2007-09-06 13:04:00 It's that time of the year again! Time for FOOTBALL!! NFL football to be precise. Let's not waste any more time talking. Here are my picks for week one.NFL Picks Week One:NO @ IND (-6.5)The Saints are going to be good again this year, just not against the defending SB champs on the road. I'm taking the Colts with the points. PIT @ CLE (+4.5)Could the Browns kick off their season with a huge upset against their longtime rivals? Hell no. However, I'm holding out faith that Pittsburgh still hasn't got it all back together yet. I'm taking the Browns to upset.PHI @ GB (+3.0)Again, the Eagles are a great team, and starting off the season against a fresh Packer defense might seem like a walk. I'm not so sure. I'm taking the Pack to provide another opening day surprise. Pack to upset.CAR @ StL (-1
Cracka Lacka 2007-08-30 11:28:00 I think I'm experiencing my birthday depression a couple weeks early this year. Or perhaps it's because I'm now one year away from 30. I don't know. Either way, this morning I had the longest run-on sentence. I mean no commas or nothing. I figured, let them pause on their own. Why should I provide the pauses? Anyways, last night I was walking the wrong way down a one way street, focusing on the blinking yellow lights in the distance. I wasn't driving so I figured that I wouldn't have a problem walking the wrong way, but it seemed that the police officer who pulled me over seemed to think that I did have a problem. I tried to explain to him that I wasn't driving at all, that I was walking but he didn't want to hear it. He put the plastic tie cuffs on me and stuffed me in the backseat with s
For Sale! Dead People's Things For Sale!! 2007-08-05 19:35:00 I know I know, I should be posting something of general style and substance, but instead I'm just pimping one of my eBay auctions. Well hell, you nerds out there should love this one. It's an old 1940's style Superman AM/FM Radio. It's pretty sweet, but I have no use for the damn thing. Go buy it or at least push the bidding up for me. That whole sentence is a link. There is a picture below. I'm also selling a Firewire/USB 2.0 PCMCIA card. If you're interested. As you tell, this last month was a pretty slow one for the websites. I wonder if it has anything to do with my lack of posting on the blog? Anyways, whatever the case, I'm going through the garage, selling off stuff I don't have any use for. I'm thinking about listing my entire Star Wars figures collection again as well, but I got s
North is up 2007-07-25 17:26:00 Really, I haven't posted anything in a week? I didn't notice. Please, tell me again. I've been working on my book, so that's taking up my creative juices. I've set a goal of 3000 words a week. I'm aiming for about 120,000 words, even though the rule in writing is to not worry about the words, but write until the story is told. That's all well and good, but I think 120,000 is a good average for word count for a first time novel. I'll let you know how that goes. In other news... yeah. That's how it is. Read more:North
When the pigs keep running I'm dirt 2007-07-12 10:41:00 So the other day I was involved in a high stakes poker game with a helper monkey, the ghost of Jack Ruby, Sean Penn and Bill Cosby. We were pretty deep into the game and had been playing for about 16 hours straight. We were all fueled by whiskey and cheetos, except for Ruby, who couldn't seem to keep anything down. We started the game with two other players, David Prouse (the guy who played Darth Vader) and Posh Spice. Posh had to leave when she got a call from her husband. Apparently he was crying because he couldn't get his highlights even in his hair. Seemed reasonable. Prouse was doing great until he started to get an acute pain in his left arm. We told him it was just gas, but it still rattled his concentration. With a grunt he left the table and retired to a chair in the corner, wher Read more:running
It's Free Music Friday!!! You'll Crap Your Pants!! 2007-07-06 13:37:00 So there's this new diet drug on the market, which I suppose is something that the lay fat population should be happy about, yet another pill or supplement approved by the greedy bastards at the FDA even though it doesn't do anything different than any other bullshit diet pill and the side effects are hella harsh. Anyways, the newest over the counter diet pill is called "Alli" and it comes with a couple of fantastic side effects. From MSNBC:Dieters have been flocking to drugstores to pick up Alli, the first over-the-counter weight-loss pill to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration, despite the scary warning: Stray too far from your low-fat diet and you just might poop your pants.The drug’s maker, GlaxoSmithKline, has been up front about the pill’s side effects, suggesting tha Read more:Friday

Mail me to Istanbul with the cat. 2007-07-03 07:43:00 I'm listening to the new Smashing Pumpkins. I'll tell you what, it's not bad except for one thing, (and it's not my headphones,) Billy's voice sounds like he's amping it over the music. It just sounds weird. Maybe it's been a while since I've listened to the Pumpkins (it has been) so my ears aren't tuned to them. However, that aside and assuming it's how they are supposed to sound, it's pretty rocking so far. I've also got the new Velvet Revolver & the new Gogol Bordello to listen to today. I've already sampled the new Queens of the Stone Age, Chevelle, White Stripes and the Used albums. All good. Whenever I resume Free Music Friday I'll post them.In other news, I've updated my website. Essentially, made it look a little less gay. So go check it out and order some porn. I'll be adding webc
Die Hard 4.0 2007-07-02 08:31:00 Well, better late than never right? I'm of course referencing my statement made last Thursday that I would let you know how the new Die Hard movie was. Well, it kicked fucking ass. What did you expect? Sure, this time around some of the stunts were pretty fucking unbelievable, but c'mon, in 1985 they made a movie where John McClane jumped off the roof with a fire hose tied around his waist to escape an exploding helicopter. Not to mention sliding down the elevator shaft with only a machine gun strap to hold him up. This time around though, (warning - action scene spoilers ahead!!!) he drove a semi truck through a crumbling overpass to escape an F-16 jet that was flying was too freaking low to the ground for my liking, then jumping on said jet after the pilot had bailed, only to slide down
LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD!!! 2007-06-28 10:36:00 Tonight I'm going to go see "Live Free or Die Hard" or "Die Hard: 4.0" as it's known in international release. I'm hoping for a kick-ass action flick where Bruce Willis keeps doing what he does best, that is, kicking ass. I don't think I'll be disappointed in that department. I'm not hoping for a coherent plot or competent bad guys, just a bunch of gunfire, explosions and ass kicking. On a side note, I haven't seen a movie in the theaters in about 2 years or so. I think the last movie I went to see was Serenity, and I had to yell at some teenagers then too. I always have to yell at teenagers or someone for not letting me watch the movie in relative quiet. These ones were playing music on their cell phones - during a movie! So I had to threaten them. They got scared and left. Pussies. Hopef
Hey kids, it's time to Binge and Purge with Al Gore! 2008-03-25 09:33:00 I just ate, reluctantly, the worst bagel in the history of bagels. It tasted like it was previously frozen and then microwaved to be heated up. Then it was toasted on the press, where they cook the fucking bacon. So then it's a greasy, previously frozen bagel that tasted similar to what cardboard would taste like if I was picking it out of my shit. I swear the fucking cafe downstairs is being run by retards. And not the cute retards that you see on TV snapping one liners, but the creepy retards you see in the park, humping park benches and spouting obscenities at children and soiling themselves. Those kind of retards. Thankfully, the one saving grace is that I brought a pop tart with me today for some strange reason, so I can wash the taste of that ass bagel out of my mouth. I just feel di Read more:Purge
Hey kids, smoking is cool! 2008-03-26 13:38:00 Today I smoked a cigarette, it happens every once in a while. I'll still pack a dip later, since it wasn't nearly enough nicotine for me. However, the point that I'm getting to is that I smoked a Marlboro 72. It's smaller than a regular cigarette, about half the length of a 100, or about the size of Perky's dick. Anyways, I got to wondering why in the hell this cigarette exists considering the pack is priced the same as regular smokes, they are just really really small. So I've come up with a couple reasons why these cigarettes exist. Because I really don't have anything better to do.1.) They are for kids.Not exclusively for kids mind you, but it seems like a great marketing ploy. Small cigarettes for small people. What a better way to get kids hooked on smoking than to make kid sized ciga
Wakka wakka wakka. 2008-04-17 14:13:00 So in a week and a half I start a new job. I finally found another company willing to hire me. Ha. I can finally quit this dump, and I did. I put in my two week notice 4 days ago and I'm not looking back. Surprisingly enough, they haven't walked my ass out of the building yet. I'm kind of waiting for them to do that, and actually looking forward to it. Cause if they do, then I still get paid for next week but don't have to work. It'd be like a vacation. I can do with one of those. Pope de Pope PopeYou know, I still stick by my conviction that religion is a crock of shit and strictly for the weak and brainless. That being said, the god of the Catholic church is visiting the states this week. Hearing that guy speak is not comforting, no matter how peaceful he might be - he's still a german a
Horkenfiber 2008-04-21 12:01:00 Well, it's probably going to cost a little bit more for Danica Patrick to show side boob in Maxim again now that's she's finally a champion, having won the Indy Japan 300 this past weekend. I know the whole thing about women in sports, especially male dominated sports, is a big fucking deal. But I don't think this should be one of those female fighting adversity issues. Think about it, she's driving a fucking car. What does it matter that she's got a not-a-penis and tits? Does being a woman driving a car make an actual difference. Dumb question, of course it does. It's probably taken all her strength not to park the car on the curb and take out a mailbox backing out of the truck. In other news, I haven't been walked out of the building yet, but my boss is out all week. I was told it's caus
Suck it 2008-05-28 17:51:00 New job has a good firewall, or at least one that blocks blogger as well as all my favorite gamer sites. So fuck off. I've been writing, just not for public consumption. No, I have no idea when I'll post regular again. The last year has been tough creatively. So, there it is.
