Drip
OK, it isn't really. But if I was a wrestler I might be named El Diablo. Only if I could wear a mask. There is a long history of wrestlers wearing masks. One I remember from when I was a kid was Mil Mascaras. I think it means Thousand Masks. The coolest thing about that guy was that in the match, if another wrestler went after his mask and pulled it off, Mil always had another mask on underneath. When you are a little kid, shit like that is awesome.
I think when you are a kid, masks are fun. So are gloves. Costumes are cool in general. And don't get me started on capes. Who doesn't love a capes? I think it would be cool to dress as a ninja at least once a week. Not for kinky sex like those people who dress up in a furry animal costumes. That is just a little bit of the freaky. I guess it kind of relates though. The thing about costumes is that it allows you to be someone different for a time. To hide and reinvent yourself. That is why people love Halloween.
To a lesser extent, I think people dress in costumes on a smaller scale everyday. Be it jewelery or high heel shoes or what type of coat you choose. For example, I would love a leather jacket. The wearing of leather has more of a connotation then just warmth. Leather, is dangerous or sexy. It is in essence a second skin. Just as a tangent, I used to love walking by the Wilson's leather store at the mall even when I was a kid. That smell of leather was awesome. I had a pair of leather studded gloves when I was kid that I loved wearing. I would play superhero in them. I always thought of them as like my power gauntlets. I had those gloves for years until they dried out and cracked. Oh well, nothing lasts forever.
Let's talk about current events. Uh...I can't think of anything current that I want to talk about. I am starting not to care about the election coming up. I don't know if I care one way or another if it is Obama or Clinton. I guess McCain is going to get the GOP nomination, then he just has to pick a running mate. I think he should pick Larry the Cable Guy just because that would be a hell of a ticket. McCain and Cable Guy in '08!
With Obama he has to pick someone that is good but not too good because then people might want to kill him. Clinton needs to pick someone really bad because everyone hates her already. Even Hillery's supporters don't really like her. She is not really that likeable of a person. Obama kicks ass in that regard.
He seems to be really likeable especially when he is giving a speech. And his supporters really like him. Hell, they applauded when he blew his nose. It is like a cult of personality. Most of Obama's most fervent supporters don't really support a certain issue that he stands for. They like that Obama is young, energetic, and yes, black. He is new and different on the presidential stage. He is not George W. Bush, he doesn't have the last name Clinton, and he isn't a hypocritical reverend who has no chance of winning. I think when most people see Obama they kind of see a new Kennedy. And that would be JFK not Teddy the fat drunk who killed that girl in the drunk driving accident. Oh, wait, allegedly killed. Have to add that. Wouldn't want to get sued or anything.
Uh oh, I almost had a rant about to get started about the country and the state of it. But I am not going to be doing that.I just don't feel it right now. I mean, I can always bitch and moan about things. That is just what I do. But today, I am not going to do that.(Pause).
OK, took a little pause there. Had to get a few things done while I had the time and the inclination. Threw out some garbage. Tomorrow is garbage day and if I didn't do it today the garbage would just sit until tomorrow. I am trying to clear all this shit out of my way. Cluttered space equals a cluttered mind. Or maybe the cluttered space is a symptom of the cluttered mind. I need to simplify and minimalize.(pause again).
Just did my taxes,and ate, and just popped an Ambien, so I am going to bed. I might post this tomorrow. I am tired and 4am comes quick. Laterzzz...
