‘Cause your ass won’t be going anywhere soon.
I’ll start off trying to average things out, and get in the black before I start seeing red. Mom got a puppy. Her name is MacKinsee Meadow, she’s a Dark Golden Retriever, an absolute cutie and a little scrapper. I’ll try to post a pic here in a bit. Oh, and at 10 weeks and 16 lbs, she’s part billy goat. Yes, she can climb over a full fledged baby gate. I can tell she’s gonna be a handful. Bull headed, with a strong will, I gotz da scars to prove it.
Well shit. I had something else positive to talk about, but then my diet coke blew up and I had to deal with that. Fucking soda.
Oh, I remember now. Hit the jump to read on.
I decided to purge a bunch of stuff from the gallery. I’m going to keep the wallpapers, and the hottie galleries, but the other crap is in extreme danger of getting deleted. I’m downloading the complete picture archive, then it’s axe time.
So, what’s to rant upon you ask? I’ll tell you.
I checked my voicemail a little while ago and wouldn’t you know I heard the sound of change. Yes, spam on my voicemail inviting me to participate in the big Bill C. love-in for Osama Obama. I’m kind of used to the spam debit reduction vmails I get every so often, but this one kind of pissed me off. It’s on every channel at all hours of the day, posted on yard signs, billboards and bumpers. Coming over the radio and now strait into my voicemail. Yes, I consider unsolicited political campaign voicemail messages as spam, same as unsolicited commercial voicemail.
All things being equal, I’d have taken this in stride and simply hit the delete button and thought nothing more than that, but…. Earlier I was over at my Mom’s playing with Meadow and the door bell rang. I got up to go see (it being almost 8pm and she wasn’t expecting company). It was some wiry looking redhead with a clipboard. She told me her name (which I can’t remember, but it was some funky east european name that could only have been dreamed up by some lost hippie tribe, or east europeans), and said she was from the progressive group something and asked if my Mom (by name) was in. I thought maybe, though unlikely, that she may have represented one of the insurance companies we’re dealing with. About then Mom walked in and asked what was up. Then the glaring truth shone through when this wench started asking about who Mom was going to vote for, and how Obama was going to turn things around and everyone would be shitting puppies and happy thoughts in no time. Right then and there I felt like the recipient of an UFIA (if you don’t know what it is, google it). You gotta be shitting me now, spam all up in my doorbell. I can’t wait till the fuckers work their way up to my street. Forewarned is forearmed.
Anyone notice the inverse relationship of gas prices to the current economic state? Shit climbed up to record highs, then the economy went in the toilet, the bailout was given the green light, and bam, price drops over a dollar in less than a week. Almost seems like opec said “oh shit, we better drop the price of crude to keep those infidels driving SUVs”. Most stuff goes up in price when the economy goes in the shitter. Not gas, it gets cheaper.
And like any good crack addict, the people obeyed and got on with the business of tear assing around town en masse. Massa got yo fix fo $3.05 hi grade, biotch. Drives me fucking crazy. Where are all these people going? And why were they not out a couple days ago?
Traffic engineers, fuck you. Changing up the light patterns, which incidentally favor traveling in one direction in the morning, favoring the other in the evening. Smells like someone’s convinced the city to adjust the sequencing so they can scoot on through. Bastards.
In all my years living in this city, I’ve never seen such a high number of road projects underway at the same time. Seems like nearly all the roads in town are chewed up for repaving, but all the equipment and men are not there, just a chewed up road, or bridge. M-Dog knows about one in particular. Finish the bridge for the love of God. Then move on to the next one, knock it out, and so on. I know it may seem like rocket science, but it’s not. Unless…. it was the only way to burn up budget so it wouldn’t get cut next year. Thanks, it’d have been nice to have the new blacktop a couple months ago, but then, I’m just a peon resident.
Tomorrow will be a month since Dad passed, and I’m still having issues with that. Here’s a health tip for all you docs ‘n nurses, stay away from me, far away. Forgiveness may come when I’m gone, but only if I don’t have a say in it. Miss you Hawk, always will.
Damn it’s taking a while to download this archive. At least I’m listening to a Clutch album I haven’t listened to and it’s pretty cool. Wonder why it’s not on my Jesus phone. Gotta rectify that.
Oh, and great fucking job on engineering the macbook case. There’s a sliver of the hand rest that has split off. It’s still attached on one end, but I had to scotch tape it back in place. I’m pretty sure the lid spacer stressed the thin plastic and split it off. The rub mark matches perfectly. I loved my little 12″ powerbook G4.

I kind of feel better now. Maybe it’s the tunes. Doesn’t matter, same result. Hope yall enjoyed the freak show, but it’s over, scoot…..

1. Hear you on the bridge. The same shit is going on in Salem to another bridge so I have to deal with 2 of them everydamn day. Va looking for some budget increases is all I can think of.
2. Gas. What gets me is in 1 day the shit goes from $120 per barrel to $147 and regular goes from $3.50 to $5.50, IN ONE DAY!! Now the price is $69.70 a barrel (10/16 @ 3pm). Thats more than a 100% or 50% decrease (however you want to do the math) but yet gas still hovers around $2.80 per gal. By my crazy math it should be less than $2 per gal. Yes I said it Apu!
3. Can’t believe its been a month Dog, but hey you have made it a month! I know hes proud.
4. It is a JESUS PHONE!! I am just waiting for the walk on water app (great for surfers and fishermen)
5. I could probably get you powerbook back for half what you sold it for (he ran out of money) Oh yeah I love any apple device but make your fucking LCD’s more affordable. I search everyday like a lost puppy.

Oh yeah the whole reason I wanted to rant… Hollywood,Time mag, ABC,CBS, and NBC have gotten this guy elected. Who’s next Brad Pitt w/ George Clooney? It was over before it began. I know in the state of VA McCain (200K) Obama (2mil and growing) in campaign dollars. Not to mention the 30 minute special Obama is doing on the big 3 major networks at the end of the month. Wonder what that costs! You want my vote Obama? Politics aside take all the campaign billions you have spent and give it to our national deficit then go back to Chi-town and ask Oprah for more doe and come “bail out” my -46% business then we can talk about votes! UGH makes me think how dumb the general public are when they say GW caused this recess…(i refuse to say it) WARS COST MONEY!!! $750bil to date (5 years) now you guys just spent $780bil in one day for gov. fucking with a “FREE” (meaning free from gov) Market. Its the dumbass publics fought for signing their name to the shitty loan in the first place but now since I was smart and protected myself you want me to pay for their mistake and take more of my money because my business does more that 250k a year? Whats next my daughters lemonade stand? You say we will not raise taxes on 95% of americans… ONLY 40% OF AMERICANS EVEN PAY TAXES and the top 2% of major business’ pay 80% of ALL TAXES. YES PLEASE READ IT AGAIN. And McCain take your thumb out of you ass and say this. Seems everone else has to run your campaign, fight like you were in De Noc or wherever.. Done
