back to the grind 2/28/2006

MY blogs are kind of short and few between these days on account that my new job is pretty strict on internet use. Oh well...

Today is Puh fat Tuesday, and everywhere it's chocolate! New Orleans is swimming in a sea of chocolate! Yippee. Apparently I heard from one on down the line that a fellow Lexingtonian was killed in N Orleans but not by Katrina, no by a mob who beat him to death. He was a good kid. I've known him for years. It's weird when someone you know dies, especially a young person.

What about that band Katrina and the Waves? Think they'll ever get back together and do a reunion tour? How ironic. I like irony. It's iron plus 'y'.

I watched the opening ceremony for the olympics in Torino or Turin as some call it. OK so somebody thought it would be swell to get a bunch of people crawling around on a giant screen with retracting cables attached to them so they could do some really neat manuevers and eventually synchronize to form a dove-- an international sign of peace. As I watched these white forms crawl around and eventually form the image of a dove I was sickened by what I saw as the skeleton of a dove as you would find its remains on the ground somewhere and then as the forms dispersed I could not help but think of maggots feeding on the decomposing carcass.

Boy am I weird.

GASP alert 2/17/2006 Is the toilet half full or half attainable?

Condaleeza Rice has got the silver tongue. She could tell you to go to hell and you'd look forward to the trip! Recent audio broadcast on NPR interview with CR and a senator (name?) critiquing information concerning potable water and sewage availability with Iraqis. CR claims that these neccessities had increased while the surgeon general reports losses since the occupation. Hmm. Well CR explained the cold hard facts stating that her facts reported gains of availability not neccessarily attainment. OHH that CR!

Well, back to work. Stop Santanaganda now! Guard Against Santana Proliferation!

'Tis time to bid farewell to the Queen City

These are the final strokes I shall enter from this keyboard. My tenure here at FMSM engineers has come to a close. Yet I cant help but think there is something magnificently better waiting for me just up ahead.

The Queen City has been good to me. She took me in, fed me, moistened my palette, and sugar-coated my long-deprived desire for good rock and roll music. Thank you Cincinnati. Thank you Heartless Bastards, Thank you Arlins, Scott & Kevin at open mic on Thursdays, the Comet Tavern as well as the Northside Tavern, and thanks to Noah for introducing me to some mighty fine folks. Thank you Stephen and Joyce Fruth. I wish all landlords were as nice as you people. Thank you Clifton, specifically the gas light district tucked away on a little hill. Life has never been so pleasant. Thanks for all the cups of coffee, Sitwells-- even if it took a lifetime to get one cup. Thank you Mt. Storm for being so completely awesome. Thank you Cincinnati Zoo. Getting poop thrown at me by an ape is fun. Seeing a polar bear take a polar bear sized shit is quite enlightening. Thanks to all the tiny lizards that scurry about. Thanks to my neighbors for being supportive-- Lauren Mosko and Brian. Whoever is leaving their laundry in the washing machine needs to get it out! Thanks Mt. Adams for such a spectacular view. Thanks for Octoberfest. I'll be dancing like a chicken every year. Thanks Daniel and Mary for hangin' with me and my girlfriend, she really misses you guys a lot. Thanks to Erica, of the Heartless BAstards for coming to my hometown, Lexington, in order to rock us out. Lastly, Thanks to Milo, a brave kitty, I hope you are doing OK.

And now for some really funny photos:




"Save our city! Right now..."
