First Day of Fall
Today is the first day of Fall. Summer is over. Good. I didn't have a good summer. I felt like shit most of the year. I hope I have a good fall. I think today's entry will be a good day for just a bunch of random thoughts and tangents. Actual deep thought doesn't appeal to me right now.
Damn. The economy is shit, isn't it? No jobs. Shitty jobs. People going broke. No money. I hope we can all agree at this point that the Bush Presidency falls under the under the category of Epic Fail. At least history will if America makes it through the crisis. Fingers Crossed.
Speaking of failing, Obama and McCain are only going to debate three times. And each debate is going to have a set topic, not many topics with just the format dictated. What a bunch of crap. They should have a bunch of debates. I want to see them have a throw down about the issues and I wanna see who comes out better. They should have at least five. Even if there isn't much of a value in the debates, it is more of a tradition kind of thing. Plus, it's fun. I like watching the candidates dance like trained monkeys. We are going to have to put up with their shit when they are in office we should at least get a bit of entertainment beforehand. And since they won't fight it out in a steel cage or giant robots this is second best.
My new favorite show that is currently on TV is "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia". I guess it is on the FX network but I watch it on Hulu or other various places around the world wide internets web. The show is totally irreverent. It has foul language and adult themes. And it is fucking hilarious. If you are not watching it you should. If you are watching it, watch it more. Wildcard Bitches!!!! (Charlie is the fuckin awesome!).
I watched a documentary called "Bigger, Faster, Stronger". It was about steroids in America but it was actually about more than that. It was about how in America we are all about winning and don't care what we have to do to win. But it is also about how we hate losing, losers, and how we consider the second place just to be the first loser. About the steroids it had some interesting data, like steroids are almost #150 on the list of causes of death in America. Number 1 is alcohol. It said how a lot of the info about steroids is just bullshit. It also showed how those fuckers in Congress had those hearings about steroids in sports and what a colossal waste of time that was. Look, if I could take a pill and dunk a basketball like Jordan and earn millions I would. Most people would and wouldn't give a shit about the side effects or what happened down the road. I think if you want to take shit and put yourself at risk you should be able to. And if taking these things makes you more successful, isn't that what it is all about in this country?
Fuck, this is America ain't it? Freedom means you can fuck up if you want to. That really should have been in the Constitution.
I need to work out. It's not easy to find the willpower, but I need to. I should probably do that soon. More on that at another time.
I always want another cup of coffee. I have said before but I really come as close to loving coffee as it is for a person to love a beverage. Coffee is a second to Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi though. Those are the elixir of life. I know I am addicted and just don't care. They are probably rotting me from inside but what the fuck. Am I right?
I got to get some fucking booze. I am so out of alcoholic beverages it just isn't right. I want some vodka. Maybe I will get some beers? I will definitely pick up some Mike's hard lemonade because that stuff is just so good. I want to get a buzz on. Is that so wrong? Everyone else in the world gets to drink and I am above 21 years old. So I want some damn alcohol. I am going to get some stuff and then one night drink myself into stupid oblivion. I do wish sometimes that alcohol held for me what it holds for others. Truth be told, alcohol has never really done it for me. Yeah a buzz is nice but I have never thought of it as a refuge from reality that some people do. Maybe I just have not drunk enough? That is always a possibility. I will let you know once I get fucked up. Maybe my writing will get better if I get toasted? Worked for other writers in history.
I think that might be it for now. Thank you for not reading. I wouldn't. Hell, I didn't even like writing this one. I don't think it clicked. Or maybe it did and you suck. And not in the good way. The good, mouth hug, mind the step children, hey what are you doing with your finger, wow that feels good, how many tongues do you have, oh my god here it comes, kind of way. Laterzzz...

Hurricane Gustav
I really dig freaking hurricanes. Not because to of the destruction they create, though that can be fun too. I like them for the coverage on the news.
Take the pics about for instance. Brian Williams is climbing a ladder on a wall next to an industrial canal. Essentially a river. The day before water was pouring over that wall because of the storm surge during the hurricane. Ok, that is news. But why the hell did he need to climb the ladder? I don't know and I don't care, I just love it.
I used to always like watching Dan Rather during a storm. No matter where the storm was he would be there in the middle of it, showing that he wasn't going to let Mother Nature stop Dan Rather from bringing you the News, dammit!
There is no one as good as Danny boy anymore but every time there is a storm they send out teams of reporters to cover the chaos. Hopefully, these crews will be able to document the destructive forces of nature and it's impact on the affected communities. One thing they will definitely be able to do is send in some cool pictures of reporters being blown around by the wind and rain. That is the best stuff. Sometimes the reporters get blown right off camera. Or there are times when you can see the panic in there eyes when they realize they are in the middle of a fucking hurricane. I am waiting for the day when one of the reporters gets take out by a toothpick or some other object moving at a hundred miles per hour. That is good TV.
From what I got from the news, this hurricane caused damage, one person may have died, but all in all it didn't hit New Orleans as hard as it could have. The bad news is there are like 3 tropical systems lined up that may become hurricanes and who knows where the target will be. Should make for good TV whatever happens. Laterzzz...

I have no idea what this is about.
I am watching the news. I think this will be a entry that jumps about today. Tangent-palooza if you will. Did I just write that?
Russia has invaded Georgia. Not in the United States but the country that used to be part of the Soviet Union. I guess it boils down to this, Georgia poked the bear. You don't poke the bear unless you make sure the cage door is locked. Georgia poked and Russia bit. Now President Bush is saying that Russia shouldn't be doing what we are doing. Dude, come on. You have no credibility what-so-ever on the world stage. No matter what you think about what's going on, no one cares what Bush says. I just hope he doesn't find a cure for cancer because no one would listen.
I don't care what is happening in China and the Olympics. It all just leaves a bad taste in my mouth that this totalitarian government is being rewarded for putting on a show. China isn't a joke. Do you know how much money the U.S. owes to China? What happens when they collect? Still everyone goes on throwing money at them. Whatever.
I do hope the athletes do well. I am not following any of the events or watching any of the coverage but I don't wish them any ill. They worked their whole lives to get where they are. They are better at what they do then most people are at anything. Hell, I know they are better than me. So I wish them no harm and all the success they can have. too bad everyone doesn't get a medal like at the Special Olympics.
Wouldn't it be a better world if everything was like the Special Olympics? You don't have to be that good. You just have basically show up and have fun. At the end, you get a hug and everyone tells you how great you did. Then you get a medal and some juice and cookies. Wait. That is what happens when you give blood. You get juice and cookies. On the other hand I bet the Special Olympians do get juice and cookies. So I think it applies to both. One can only hope.
Bernie Mac died this week. So did Isaac Hayes. I guess it's show time in the afterlife. Though I don't know where Isaac went because I believe he was a Scientologist and I am not too clear on where they believe they go in the afterlife. I know they believe in something that has to do with aliens and spaceships and ghosts or something. Hey, if it works for them, I guess it's all okay. There is a kick ass episode of South Park that goes into the whole Scientology thing. I think it is called
"Trapped in a Closet."I am tired. I have to take a shower and do some cleaning. I have to take out the garbage. Always something else. I need a slave. I would be a nice slave master. The slave wouldn't have to be any particular color, either. I would be an equal opportunity slave owner. I just don't want to have do cleaning and crap.
I suppose a robot would also be good for that kind of stuff. The only problem is that eventually robots always turn evil and try to kill their owners. That part is not cool. It could be a sex-bot that also cooks and cleans, too. Damn. What a conundrum. Hot sex-bot to do all the work and serve me in all the best ways, but then it turns evil and probably kills me. I guess I will make that decision when they finally decide to come out with the robots that can do all that stuff.
I am watching Arrested Development. I have seen all of the episodes before and this one is a really good one called Afternoon Delight. Check it out on Hulu or somewhere else on the net. You an also Netflix it. Or don't, because I don't know that I care.
I don't want to tell anyone what to do. I expect the same. But if you want to comment, feel free. Say what you want. I make no promises. Ever. Laterzzz...

TV
I have been watching TV shows online. There are various places and maybe at another time I will talk about what places those are. Right now I am going to mention the shows that I have been watching that have not brought the suck. And considering that most things on the boob tube make you feel dumber after watching, make you wish you could have the time back, and actually have no boobs in it (the biggest crime of them all). I have found a few things worth watching.
My Name is Earl. I resisted watching this show at first. Not because I had anything against it, I just don't like to watch new shows. New shows have a way of sucking or being way cool and then they go away. Also, after having Netflix, I don't like waiting for a show every week. I like to see everything on my time, not waiting for a network to serve it up to me.Anyway, My Name is Earl, about a guy who was a scumbag, wins the lottery, and decides to change his ways because of Karma. I am cutting out a lot of stuff here but you should really check this show out. It is very funny and sarcastic and the supporting cast is very good. This is definitely one of those shows that you can watch over and over. At least in my opinion. And if you are reading this you must be a little interested in my opinion, or bored out of your fucking mind.
Good Eats. Yes, it is a cooking show. Yes, you can learn stuff. Yes, I said it is a fucking cooking show. Just watch it, it's not your standard cooking show. I like it. If you don't, I don't care.Terminator-The Sara Connor Chronicles. It is like a spin off of the movies. So I thought it would bring the suck. It didn't. I can't say it is a great show. It is watchable. I guess it matters what direction that they take the show in. It also matter whether they even bring the show back for another season. I think it was one of those series that made it to TV because of the writer's strike. If it comes back I will watch it, if it doesn't I don't think I would miss it.American Gladiators. What can I say. I liked this show before and I like it now. There are two problems-- the show should have more violence. I want to see the contestants get fucked up. I also think that if a Gladiator doesn't perform well, he should be executed. Hey, if you call yourself a Gladiator you need to be ready for the thumbs down from Caesar. The second thing is the guy who does the play by play. Random voice guy needs to be dismembered and nailed to the Wall as a warming to all future announcers that you will be held accountable for your sucking.Well that is it for me tonight. I talked about TV. I named some shows I recently watched. Maybe I will find something else good to watch. But no reality shows. God no. Fuck no. I am going to bed. Laterzzz...
Oh, and watch the news. And read it. And not just from one source. Think about who is saying what, and what is their reason for saying it. Make up your own damn mind. Laterzzz part 2...

It's July?
Let's see, yesterday was the 4th. Time to set off high powered explosives to celebrate the birth of our country. Of course, fireworks are illegal in most states and in others, with the drought and fire alerts, setting off fireworks could burn down the state. See, making fireworks illegal (and don't get me started on those pussy-ass sparklers) is just another example of one of Biff's rules:
