No Need to Apologize

Mon, 02 Feb 2009 11:14:10 -0500

Michael Phelps would have been more of a role model if he said, “Fuck off. I get high sometimes. And in my spare time work harder than you have at anything in your life, and, like, sometimes I win eight fucking gold medals. So back the fuck off, put on a different perspective, and stuff the apology you think I should make up your ass.”

Maybe not in those exact words, but the guy’s twenty-four. If he’s not getting baked and drinking beer on occasion then he’s doing something wrong.

silversmith told me to go to this website and click the arrow at the bottom. So I did. And it’d be worth your while if you did as well.

The Essential Components of Good Politics

Wed, 28 Jan 2009 12:57:49 -0500

I watched MSNBC for far too long yesterday. I scribbled down some notes. I’m going through them now. As far as I can tell the essential ingredients of good governing politics, as currently practiced by most, are, in this order,

1. My Interests
2. The Interests of My Party

If you’re the least bit like me, you might be like, what the fuck? That’s whacked. You’re whacked.

Where’s the citizen? I mean, can I get an America, Amen Brother? One America Amen Brother? Based on my observations, no.

You can_not_ get one America. You can_not_ get an Amen, or a Brother, or a citizen. Initally a tad depressing for sure, but, y’know there’s always beer and peanuts, and there is always something to be said for the dependable jackass. Here he comes. The dependable jackass, with his typically jackassery.

You probably have one at work, the jackass, or in the family. The degree to which they ruin the fun is proportional to the the amount of power you allow them to exercise, which is why politics is so damn depressing, but on the other hand, it feels liberating to know there’s no hope to float in that there kiddie pool.

26 Years, 85 Notebooks

I’m not a notebook connoisseur. Give me a Mead Composition notebook, the soft kind you can roll up into a fly swatter, and I’m good to go, but always fun to read about other folks dalliances with writing tools… Although, now that I think about it I am partial to grid lines, as opposed to the ubiquitous college ruled paper. Besides offering more variation of use, the grid line is more fun cause it provides you with more rules to break.

Saddlebacking

Wed, 28 Jan 2009 12:10:04 -0500

via glass → Saddlebacking: sad•dle•back•ing \ˈsa-dəl-ˈba-kiŋ\ vb [fr. Saddleback Church] (2009): the phenomenon of Christian teens engaging in unprotected anal sex in order to preserve their virginities… After attending the Purity Ball, Heather and Bill saddlebacked all night because she’s saving herself for marriage.

I’d like to get the Church’s ruling on this one, but it seems to me a logical and wholly reasonable mitigation between two competing desires. Y’know, to keep your word while following through on that pesky God given human inclination to wanna fuck.

55 Beers That Will Knock You Flat On Your Ass. I won’t spoil the fun of discovering #1 for yourself, but I’ve had it and chances are you have as well, or at the least seen it around. The majority of the 55 are American brews.

Giant Cardboard Robot on the streets of Rouen. It’s a lonely picture in a way, or I’m just passing through a lonely moment and thus my filter is colored of melancholy, or both, or not. It’s a giant fucking cardboard robot so all that is inessential.
