Once upon a time

January 7, 2009 – 4:17 am
I used to try to get out of the house before I got too fucked up. Now I get as hammered as possible before I leave. It's crazy. The strategy of poverty. I'm contemplating the 7-11. Always employ the interior of the wrapper as a resting place for your processed food in between bites as opposed to it's exterior, a fuming petri dish of virulent germs. Never use condiments from the condiment bar at the 7-11 for the same reason. Me, I can't help it. Don't do what I do, do what I say. I'm not shy about grabbing a fistful of napkins. You know what? That iced coffee from McDonalds isn't too bad as long as you get it unsweetened. I got Starbuck's gift cards for Christmas. When I was a little boy, four or five, I ran away ...

Change I Can Believe In

January 6, 2009 – 11:11 pm
Jan 6, 2009 9:56 PM Change I Can Believe In We used to be a country of laws, not of men. We used to dismiss those that claimed, if the president does it, it's not illegal. Over the last 8 years all of that changed. Reversing that became the change we all looked for. Underneath the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the handling of combatants taken off the battle field, the interrogation, rounding up, and holding of American citizens without due process, underneath all of this were decisions made by the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC). This is an office in the Department of Justice that by definition is supposed to tell the president what he can and can not do legally. Over the last 8 years, BushCo found a friend in the OLC in John Yoo. He wrote the torture memo, which declared that the President's power to torture detainees is ...

A dimwit named Dewitt

January 6, 2009 – 4:11 am
Slow news day, with the exception of Al Franken as the "provisional Senator" from Minnesota, the slaughter in Gaza, Roland Burris as maybe the new Senator from Illinois and Leon Panetta picked for the CIA. Other than that. Yeah. There's an idiot on myspace that I just can't help but fuck with on occassion. If you read me regularly you may be familiar. I'll give you a URL at the end in case you want to wade in. I couldn't be less concerned about increasing his numbers, you people need to to know about people like this. From his latest blog: "Thanks to the lame stream media's unwavering commitment to national socialism, B. Hussein Obama has been elected POTUS and will be making appointments to the Supreme Court in the near future. If any five members of that august body agree that your 12 year old daughter has ...

Time and tide to Don

January 5, 2009 – 3:47 am
To not see a man's eyes is hardly ever a comfortable thing. Take off your sunglasses if you want me to talk to you. Giving is receiving, yet people are people wherever you go. Forgive me for getting didactic on your ass, but I'm about to. Electricity always goes to ground. So automatically, being "grounded", looks like a bad thing. I've lifted the ground, flopped the phase and inverted polarity. I have a friend who invented a device that allows for the shifting of polarity at any point along 180 degrees of the protractor. Other than that, I've devoted very little effort and much less time to the idea. Fuck that. As a former electron director, I was obsessed with phase. Still am. Enough to feel guilty. I was a phase fag. I dreamt about it last night. I wasn't good ...

Camp….Fire…..girls……play

January 3, 2009 – 4:15 am
What's the rumpus? So yeah, the Xmas vacation.  Pretty cool actually.  I brought the best bottles from my dwindling stash. Leonetti and Pejut.  Pedestrian tongues drank Two Buck Chuck or beer and they were happy.  I'm only selfish with my grapes to the extent of anyone's ability to appreciate them.  Know and understand what you're drinking and you can have all you want. I will only share my wine with them gullets that can appreciate it. I'm a dick like that. Some still call me The Cock.   I was asked to say grace at Christmas. Heh. I took it upon myself to thank the powers of the universe for family, friends and health, as well as the wisdom of the American people in their overwhelming support for Barack Obama as President Elect of The United States of America.  The caveat intended for my beloved uncle Tyke, an ...

Too many notes

December 23, 2008 – 5:02 am
It's actually the space between. I'm going home and I can't wait. I'll bring etchings and wine. I hear I look like Toby Keith, despite his being a douchbag and all. Huge dipshit. Whatever. I need to tell you that I just don't understand the contemporary image or model of the overly skinny, oftentimes emaciated woman proliferating the visual media. They always look a little skanky to me. I just don't get the little boy look. Give me hips and ass at least. They always have raccoon eyes and fragile ankles. No hips. Moving right along. Yes, I am afraid to die. I'm not done yet. What sane human under seventy five isn't afraid to die? Show me one that isn't afraid and I'll show you one that's out of his tree. I once knew a bartender named ...

Undue and undo to you

December 22, 2008 – 3:10 am
Fall flat so as to consult Oliver Platt. Bake awhile and take awhile. Introduce yourself to Joe. Don't trust him. He will know. Undue and undo to you It is after all, all that you knew. Whatever he says cannot be new. Not to you. She hides. Pretends it's about the color blue. Patented, patent leather blue This opportunity to tell you a thing, at least two. People who stare don't care Then there's us, me and you We look away Too much ado We cannot survive the blue blue blue Well, that's my shotgun attempt at rhyme. It is what it is. I leave for home the day after tomorrow. I doubt I'll write from there. You never know. I want to wish you all the utmost warmth you can find with family and friends etc. Our darkest days have yet to ...

Here’s the sum

December 21, 2008 – 12:33 am
of all I know. Spent the afternoon drinking with my best friend. A fine Saturday. I don't know where my girlfriend is. Toto's Hydra is an amazing record but the bottom sucks. I hear the mastering engineer on the new Metallica asked not to be credited. The guy he hired to replace me, a man we all thought was a ringer, ended up nearly burying the business. A liar and a thief. Watch for me in dark alleys you prick. Terry. You really can't trust anybody. Well, I trust my Mother and Father, Sister, My Friend and my Girlfriend. Certain other people I've known for decades. Cats. "you can't trust anyone, trust me I have" -Agnes Gooch All women have what I think of as a pooch. Unless they're bodybuilders or prepubescent gymnasts. It's the lower abdomen. Below ...

Cats can’t whack off

December 20, 2008 – 4:00 am
I suspect we'd all be a lot happier if they could. Oh, I don't know. Merry Xmas. Yeah, Xmas. I hate it when people don't understand me. It's worse when they think they understand me. Christmas. Man, whatever. My ass is broke and even the idea of it is daunting and depressing. I'm anxious for family and friends. I just talked to my Mom. I needed for her to remind me what Cristmas is about for us, for our family. I needed to hear her say it. It worked. It helped. I'll book a flight tomorrow. Why do I still dream of going over a cliff in a motorhome? Giant waves and sinking ships? We debate until the end. Conflict is thick and before you know it, all is lost. ...

The Gold Standard -by J

December 18, 2008 – 11:19 pm
December 18, 2008 - Thursday - 9:01 PM The Gold Standard 'With the right hand out begging for bailout money, the left is hiding it offshore.' Texas Democrat Rep. Lloyd Doggett, of the House Ways and Means Committee Goldman Sachs, the Gold Standard on Wall Street, announced it’s first quarterly lose in it’s history, but it’s yearly earnings still showed a $2.3 billion profit. It may look like a big number, but for Goldman $2.3 billion is a large drop in earnings. Let’s not drop too many tears for Goldman. They have been taking care of themselves. Last year, they paid their employees $10.9 billion in compensation. Not bad. At Goldman Sachs, employee compensation made up 71% of total operating expenses in 2007. In the auto industry, by contrast, autoworker compensation makes up less than 10% of the cost of manufacturing a car. Hundreds of billions were given to the financial-services industry with barely a ...
