When I'm old, I hope to be as knowledgeable as Julia Child and Sue Johanson.

I feel old.

I'm flipping through channels on my day off and the Jonas brothers are on Oprah. Uh, who are they? I remember when there was all this excitment/craze over the Backstreet boys or before them New Kids On The Block.

I Really Don't Understand This Mindset. [23 Jul 2008|07:56pm]

[ music | You're Fired - Strike Anywhere ]

Ok, look—Michael Savage is an idiot and an asshole. I think what he said about 99% of autistic kids being brats and idiots is fucked up. His response to the criticism is absurd as well.

But what I don't understand is why a group of protestors tried to have him fired. His opinions don't interfere with him doing his job, his opinions ARE his job. He's a radio talk show host—if you don't like what he's saying, don't listen to his show. It's that simple.

Oh No, We're Running Out Of Street Criminals! [22 Jul 2008|06:19pm]

[ music | Your Mistake - Agnostic Front ]

Hey, remember last month when I posted about three separate incidents in one week during which several unlucky criminals here in NYC tried to mug/beat/kill what they thought were defenseless citizens but instead turned out to be off-duty policemen, who then shot them?

Well, there were a few more incidents last week as well:

  • In Brooklyn, an off-duty correction officer was wheeling his motorcycle into his garage when an armed man appeared and tried to steal the motorcycle. The officer pulled his own weapon and shot him in the cheek.

  • In the Bronx, another off-duty corrections officer who was getting gas at 2am was approached by a man who suddenly entered the passenger side of the officer’s car, pulled a gun and demanded that the officer drive them away. The officer pulled his own weapon and fatally shot the suspect.

  • In Queens, an off-duty police detective tried to stop four men who were beating someone. One of the attackers fired at the detective, who then pulled his own weapon and shot the suspect. The attackers ran away, but were found at a hospital and arrested.

This is what is known as a catastrophic failure in the victim-selection process. Please keep doing it.

Music Tuesday: Asian Child Prodigy Guitar Battle [22 Jul 2008|04:00pm]

Yuto Miyazawa playing Crazy Train



VS.

"Crazy Asian Guitar Kid" playing something that sounds like U2



VS.

Some girl playing some classical stuff



Why do Asian kids kick ass at guitar? Scientists say it's because Asian languages rely heavily on tonal differences, which leads Asian kids to have perfect pitch. I say it's because Asians are the Master Race™ and are better at just about everything.

The ones who can't play guitar win the "I'm Two Years Old And Can Sing Songs In A Different Language" contest. Even the ones who can't sing in other languages win the "This Is Probably What Bea Was Like As A Baby" award. And the hybrids have fancy footwork.

When they grow up, they switch to ukulele.

Compassionate Conservatism [21 Jul 2008|12:40pm]

[ music | Soulless - Blood For Blood ]

Michael "You Should Get AIDS And Die, You Pig" Savage voices his opinion on autism:

"Now, the illness du jour is autism. You know what autism is? I'll tell you what autism is. In 99% of the cases, it's a brat who hasn't been told to cut the act out. That's what autism is.

What do you mean they scream and they're silent? They don't have a father around to tell them, 'Don't act like a moron. You'll get nowhere in life. Stop acting like a putz. Straighten up. Act like a man. Don't sit there crying and screaming, idiot.'"


Oh, and apparently asthma is just a hoax to get more welfare.

Savage is no fringe character or obscure blogger—his radio show reaches more than 10 million listeners on 410 stations throughout the US and ranks 3rd in number of stations syndicated nationwide and 3rd in nationwide audience behind Limbaugh and Hannity.

This is the face of what passes for modern "conservatism."

Yesterday's Various Tidbits:
  • I just saw a bird poop on a guy's head across the street. I totally saw the turd falling in slow motion two stories towards the guy ...
  • Watching Project Runway. People who refer to themselves in the 3rd person should be punched. Especially if they call themselves "Suede."
  • Top Model, Project Runway, Top Chef ... they are cool. Shear Genius? Not so cool. What's next, Manicurist Showdown? Who cares.
  • Chad thinks the next "Top" show should be TOP TACTICAL SHOOTER, but he's from Idaho. My NYC idea: TOP PANHANDLER. That would be amazing.
  • Holy shit haha ... Rat Bone's wife is on Project Runway! The one who made the trash bag dress. Amazing. I thought she seemed familiar.
  • McCain keeps talking about Czechoslovakia. Has nobody in his campaign informed him that the country doesn't exist—and hasn't for 15 years?
  • Just saw a guy treat a spare tire like a naughty dog: it started rolling away and he just pointed at it sternly, like SIT! Intervene, man.
  • I wonder if Bea would wear these shorts.
  • In the same way that I don't care if Clinton did coke in college, I don't care if McCain told a shitty joke in 1986.
  • Reading "A Freewheelin' Time: A Memoir Of Greenwich Village In The Sixties" by Suze Rotolo, Bob Dylan's girlfriend during his rise to fame.
  • I am in an extremely bad mood today. And I don't know why.

Buske Conversation


Shortly after that conversation, Buske pointed out that I hadn't updated my journal in 2 weeks. I knew I had slacked, but I didn't realize it had been two weeks. So what have I been doing ... uhm, let's see.



That's all for now :)

derek and i had a huge talk last night. the biggest, longest talk we have had in our entire life. it was mostly me talking, out of everything i am really glad that in high stress situations when i am talking to the person i am talking to i am very good at saying exactly how i feel the way i want to say it with no problems, often in a very tactful manner. anyways, he came over and i was asleep and laid next to me for a while, woke me up and then since this is the first time ive talked to him this week, the first time that he had really listened to me in months. he just sat there while i talked to him about everything that i have been upset about and everything that i feel is wrong in our relationship and wrong with him. he didnt say anything. i cried, i cried alot. i told him how i felt stupid because i had planned on moving in with him and i planned for us to go away to university next year, and how he never talks to me and i asked him why he doesnt love me anymore, why why why he didnt love me any more. he didn't say anything. i started packing up all of his things, all of the pictures of him around my room. he was crying, he said he does love me he doesnt know why hes been acting this way, then i told him why he was acting that way. he has been acting this way because every time he smokes a lot of pot over an extended period of time (every day for a few months) he always gets really really really depressed. i also told him it's because he doesnt talk to anyone about anything. he never tells anyone how hes feeling or whats wrong, he doesnt have a journal or any way to get out his feelings. after his grandpa died he just acted fine, and i knew he wasnt fine because his grandpa acted as his father his entire life. but he doesnt talk to anyone, he doesnt talk to me, his family, or his friends about anything that is going on with him. he has no good reason to not want to be with me and to treat me badly. it just took me to tell him, to tell him whats going on with him, and to tell him that he sucked, and that i loved him and im disappointed. and tell him how i really feel about him (the good things and the bad) because i guess i hadnt really done that tactfully before. ive had a lot of time alone and i get whats going on with him and with me. i can't just blame him. i count on him to be my only form of social contact. i hang out with NO ONE else but him, and i shouldn't be doing that anyway. people need different types of relationships and i don't have any family relationships or friends. i count on him for everything and when im not around him i just sit here in this blue and pink chair online or watching tv and then i go to bed. anyways, we talked about everything each issue, everything we felt needed to change and ways to improve our relationship and decided that we need to talk and express ourselves, especially him and we are going to work on things to improve our relationship blah blah blah. we will see. i think things will be better, i felt so relieved after getting everything out i felt like i was floating. if the things we talked about dont change then i have no problem leaving him now that he realizes whats been going on , he cant just blame me for everything. i understand that because i am the person he is closest to, i am his best friend and his girlfriend he takes it out on me, i do that, i think most people do that. we will see. i have faith in it, so far its been working out.


anyways, NEW SEASON OF DEGRASSI.


i am also now obsessed with diary of a call girl. that girl is fucking hot as hell
my personal trainer asked me what me goal was and i said "i want my body to look like tila tequilas"
