Back to the basics.

Since I have caved into the pressures and resigned up for lousy myspace I figured I should jump head first into the deep end of the internet revolution and start posting on this lousy blog again. Is anyone even still reading it? I think not.

Which, I must say, takes away all of the pressure. I mean, if no one is reading it I can say pretty much anything I want and no one will be there to judge me. If a blogger writes a swear on an unread blog– is it really a swear?

FUCK!!

There, are you offended?

There is so much to talk about, so much going on in society today. Yet the only thing on my mind is pop culture trash. I mean, we are in the middle of what is, perhaps, the most important presidential election campaign in our history and all I can think about is how Britney is doing in the insane asylum. I figured it out the other day. I made myself a promise that for every half hour or so of crap tv– E! or whatever– that I watch I must watch double the amount of something like CNN or BBC world news. It was going really well for a very long time. Then work got wicked busy and I got kind of stressed out and I couldn’t take the real world anymore. I had to watch E! and I couldn’t watch anything else. It was like, real world overload. So I understand how people care more about Britney then who will be our next president. It is easier. It isn’t stressful and she doesn’t have any type of impact on the economy or death or anything.

None of which makes it ok. But, sometimes, a bit of unreality is what we need. It is just when it becomes the end all be all of what we pay attention to that it becomes a problem.

So, for me, back to a 1:2 ratio of E! to CNN/BBC. Because really, all the death and destruction is a whole lot easier to take when it comes from someone speaking with a british accent. :)

So…yeah. What else? Work? Yes, I suppose I should do some. FUn. But yeah, good to be back I guess.

Cheers.

Thesis pt 2

Now that the democrats have a wee bit of control in our government i am hearing that they are just going to be pushing the liberal agenda that will harm all the good moral people of america. Which makes me think of what our country would be like if our country became what the christian right wants. Which makes me think about “the handmaids tale” by margaret atwood. a society that is ruled by the christian right. enforcing arcane rules such as women cannot hold property because they are property. that sex is for procreation and the repopulation of the society is the most important thing. it is just an amazing book. so my next thesis, you know, if i went to school, would be a comparison of the christian right with the society of gilead- too many similarities for comfort? it would be cool. to look at. is all i am saying.

Thesis.

I have decided that I MUST go back to school to get my MA in American Studies/ Pop Culture. The one reason is so that I can write the thesis: Hollywoods Best Kept Secret– George Clooney is the new Rock Hudson. Like, cause he is totally this Hollywood GOD who people just covet, as was Rock Hudson right? Yet, Rock was actually gay, despite his many female friends…and maybe so is George. All I know is this: If he is gay, that is the coolest thing EVER. It would be freaking awesome.

 

Is all I am saying.

– I am in no way saying that George is gay. Really. Don’t sue me. Thanks!

Christmas Trees.

So I was just watching tv and there was a commercial with all these different christmas trees. They were all different and all totally beautiful. All sparkly and shiny. I couldnt decide which one I liked the most. So I thought about how white lights are so nice and clean and well, too many ornaments or tinsle is just too much, so maybe just lights…then really, they are kind of bright and cheesy..so maybe just nothing. Just the tree all pretty. Then maybe the tree with snow, real snow all sparkly as it catches the light. Then, well maybe just outside, the tree, so that the stars and moon hit the snow. 

 

So my point? Just leave the trees outside people. All pretty and natural and shiny in the moon with snow and stars.

 Just leave them outside.

Old is relative.

So ok, so my birthday is coming up in about a week and for the most part no big deal.  I have moments of weird but really, I dont really care either way.

 

then just now. i had the biggest freak out near panic attack moment ever. flipping thorugh the channels i came upon a classic film– grosse point plank. great movie. saw it in the theatres– awesome. in case you dont know john cusack goes back to his hometown for his ten year reunion. tons of other stuff blah blah blah but the point is that this came out in 1997, the year i graduated from high school. Almost ten  years ago.

So it just freaked me out for a minute. I remmeber seeing this movie in the theatre. It doesn’t seem like that long ago. But then I realize that yeah, ten years. Almost ten year reunion. Damn I am old. Cause when I saw this movie originally I thought, yeah, ten years is forever they are like, adults.

Dude, I’m an adult?!?!

Mini-Vans

I have come to the conclusion that 99% of the problems on the road stem from the drivers of mini-vans. They are inevitabley driven by one of three people:

1. The cell phone obsessed- handing toys off to the brat in the back- mascara weilding soccer mom

-or-

2. The neck vein throbbing- fist shaking- immasculated soccer dad

-or-

3. The wretched sixteen year old spawn of 1. or 2.

Seriously. They are retarded. They can’t stay in their lane, they either speed while tailgating and erratically changing lanes or they meander about ten miles under the speed limit while trying to decide whether they want to go north or south on 93. I mean come on. Ok, so bad drivers are seen in every type of car– i get that. But the vast majority of them drive mini vans.

 Is all I am saying.

veiled vestal virgin

So I have finally decided on what my fabulous new tattoo should look like. I am kind of excited…who knows when this will actually happen as I am sure it will be costing much more money than I can spend, but I am totally psyched to have a picture and be decided etc etc. So here you are….the Vested Veiled Virgin by Raffaele Monti. Aight, so I did try to post the picture but it didn’t work. So google the above title/artist and you will see my new tattoo. I hope. The handwash makes my nose itch. *Posted per request from Cracker.

Decades…

It has been decades since my last post. Please do not despair, I am BACK! With a vengance I might add…

 So not a whole lot has been happening lately, perhaps the reason behind the lack of posts. Just work adn work and ocassionallysociallizing with the masses. Ho Hum. My spelling has gone down hill though, with the lack of postings. As well as the lack of spell check.

Have we become a nation reliant on spell check? How often to professors hear– well I spellchecked it in response to scathing criticism on their writing? Someone obviously needs to write a better spell check program. Yes. Get on that Bill!

 So today is the day of sad depressing Monday-esque songs. Just so ya know where I am coming from as I sit here writing.

 This weekend was pretty cool. Much time spent with those girls which is good. It is sad to think that the girl will be gone soon. To the land of corn and redness. BOO!!!! I think she should stay, if only to entertain me. Ah well. We did the shopping thing…all day…v. expensive. hehe then went to the rack. Yes. I know. I just said the rack. But it was fun! I swear!! Especially since we left rather quickly.

the women’s convention was especially exciting. saw the girl, whom I havent seen in decades. Always a bad thing. Always. Me around girl= sad pathetic little puppy. Bad. V. Bad.

I think I just want to marry her and steal her away to an island where no one can ever bother us.

Or never talk to her ever again.

But on a good note– beach in glocester= tons of fun!! The water was beautiful and clear and soooo nice! Must go back!!

And now, after this LAME ASS POST I am going back to work. Sorry. But hey, at least I updated!!

My life.

Is one big cord. I am trying to do homework, trying because really, my mind is kind of mushy- I blame it on the rain, yeah, yeah. And all I am doing is getting tangled up in all of the cords running to and from my computer. It is a little computer too! Anyways.

God Does Exist!

Would be the title of the article I wish to see in tomorrows Herald…to be followed by: His first game at Fenway since donning the pinstripes was certainly electifying for Johnny Damon, as he was struck by lightning while taking the field during the sixth inning. It seems that it wasn’t just Red Sox fans that were upset with Johnny’s defection to the dark side. While taking the field in the bottom of the sixth inning, after striking out in the top of the inning, Johnny Damon was hit on the side of his head by a bolt of lightning that toppled him to the ground and knocked him out for just under ten minutes. Luckily, the location of the injury allowed Damon to recover quickly- he was back in the dugout after a quick medical exam. Johnny has now suffered His wrath. Maybe now he will take down his rendition of the “Last Supper” Wouldn’t it be funny?
