Charlie Brown's Teacher's Hot Dog

Yummy.... I need to get myself one. Quick question? Can you make the hot dog's hair into one big twist, then shake it out? Just asking.

While I love my Norwegian heritage, I can't understand why a city would be proud of this:

Welcome to this old house ! The Lac qui Parle County Historical Museum - including an authentic pioneer log cabin, country school and machine shed as well as the actual studio of Madison native author Robert Bly are must sees at the J.F. Jacobson Park. So is Madison's cod statue, "Lou T. Fisk" since Madison is Lutefisk Capital USA !

Nostalgia

2012-01-26T12:23:00.003-06:00

Time to get nostalgic about a movie I saw eighteen years ago and was about a time seventeen years earlier. My college roommates can verify that I watch it non-stop.

Epidemic

2012-01-25T08:38:00.001-06:00

Seems like we have a heroin problem each week in the paper:

A Cottage Grove woman who admitted to paramedics that she had used heroin crashed her vehicle into a traffic signal pole on the east side Tuesday afternoon, Madison police reported.

Um, don't drive and kill someone else.

Charlie with Charlie Sheen

2012-01-06T08:57:00.002-06:00

A lot of last night's dream is jumbled, but the clearest part was me trying to convince Charlie Sheen to take better care of himself. He snorted a bunch of coke anyway and I was riding shotgun in his Land Rover. He nodded out and the truck went off the road and over a lot of bumps. I think I yelled at him and then stormed off.

Biz Markie's Just A Friend

2011-02-11T21:46:00.002-06:00

Did you ever see a girl, trying to introduce

So, I ask some questions to see the hundreds of evidence "
I asked him his name, he said, is nonsense, rhetoric
His 9 / 10 pants and a very big bra
I made a few Stokes of his passion
I said, 'Do you like the show? "
He said, "I am very happy"
I started Deliberately 'bass, she started Deliberately' back to the middle range
But when I jump out of her wonderful
So, when I asked: "Well, you people," said they tried to prevent
He said: "No, I do not, I am a friend"
He came, and I am green 'for
This is why I sing

What you need, but said he was merely a friend
And you said he was only a friend, oh baby
What you need, but said he was merely a friend
But he said it was the only friend, oh baby
What you need, but said he was merely a friend
But you, that was just a friend

So I put the word in words
Me and a friend who is not only no crime
Because I have a friend who is a reality
If aigenisi, Agatha, germaine, and Senescence
Well, let us in the history
About a girl named Blah, Blah, Blah that I serve

I call him all the time, it seems to that the problem is brevin '
I called, brought against a person, and when I called again

What you need, but said he was merely a friend
And you said he was only a friend, oh baby

A Whirlwind

2011-02-10T08:37:00.003-06:00

My dreams last night where very vivid, but I can't remember most of it now. As follows:

I was a partisan for the socialists in the Spanish Civil War and helped instigate it. It took place on two city blocks that were enclosed in a warehouse. I tried to flee to Argentina, which was through an opening) but stayed until we won. I stabbed a guy in the gut at his request.
I was in some school and don't remember much.
I was with my rugby team at work in the shop. The shop was enormous and my father's old partner was leading us. I remember arguing with him.
Then I was attacking people on a suburban street that ended in a mall entrance. I threatened them with a sawed-off shotgun. I only had two shells left. I did shoot two people that tried to leave and then a dog someone sent upon me. I climbed a fence with one strand of barbed wire on it.

Can't say I remember anything else.

Got No Direction

2011-01-31T20:05:00.002-06:00

I'm happily sitting here with my glass of absinthe, playing solitaire on my computer and listening to my 1,788 favorite songs on iTunes through my headphones when this song comes on. I'd sing to it, buy my roommate is deathly tired and I have a terrible voice. Anyway, the song reminded me why I just can't accept the world as it is handed to me. Not that it's a bad place, just that it could be so much better. Rejection isn't cynical, at least it isn't inherently. The Tunisian and Egyptian protestors aren't pessimists. Well, they're pessimists in that they don't believe in the status quo. But they've rejected it and looked for something better. It's amazing why shit circumstances will bring you to do.

So, this is why I find more rebellion in Fats Domino than I do Motley Crue. Fats has more life and joy. Motley Crue is pure hedonism. Fine, but so is masturbation.

And, fuck it, I'm putting two spaces after my fucking sentences.

Rob plays point guard on his rec team "The Liquor Pigs" albeit infrequently as he gets injured regularly. One time while going in for a lay-up,he sneezed and then proceeded to slip on his own snot. He still catches every game, cheering on the sideline with the Liquor Pigs' number one fan, Susan. As you can see, Susan has narcolepsy:

Restless Leg?

2011-01-26T14:59:00.004-06:00

A couple of months ago, I found a discounted offer to get my DNA sequenced. A couple of days ago, my results were ready. Since this give me a lot of material to blather about, I'll make it a series of posts. Well, a series if I get around to it.

The fist thing that stuck out was I have a moderately decreased risk (From 0.66 to 0.41 times typical odds) for obsessive-compulsive disorder. D'oh. However, I have a slightly increased chance (up to 1.49 times typical odds) of alcohol dependence. Evidently they didn't take my state of residence into mind. On the flip side, I have only typical odds of alcohol withdrawal seizures and do not have alcohol flush reaction. Peachy! One last note on alcohol, I am unlikely to taste certain bitter flavors. That explains why my friends complain about some of my beer choices.

The last thing I'll say today is that I have the wet type of earwax, not the flaky white stuff.

A Head Cold Makes Vivid Dreams

2011-01-14T11:20:00.002-06:00

The last couple of nights have produced vivid dreams with my friends helping me out. Wednesday night, Michael and Shari helped me out with something. The dream stuck with me all day, but I can't remember it right now. Last night's dream had me on the Isthmus with Kyle and Nancy. They were very picky about where they parked. The cool thing was they helped me tote around my newly bought goats. I had three, but couldn't keep them all in the city, so I gave up two to some goat rescue in the county. The one I kept I called Old Scratch. That was pretty awesome.

Department of Orwell

2010-12-10T14:41:00.004-06:00

I've long thought it ridiculous that the Department of War was renamed the Department of Defense. It's time to rename it:

The fact that this militarist spin is 60 years old doesn't make it any less biased. I think it would be entirely responsible, neutral and accurate to take the word "defence" out of the non-sports lexicon. If the government won't go back to the Department of War, the least we could do is stop actively participating in this Orwellian farce in which the invasion of Iraq is carried out by the Department of Defence. Call it military spending. That's what it is. Anyone who's confident that fighting a war is a good idea should have the guts to call it by its proper name.

In Trouble

2010-10-20T08:33:00.000-05:00

First I remember Shari throwing a grenade into a building across the street and it imploded.

Then I was crossing the border from Canada into the US and was pulled aside. I had a bunch of crap in my car. The contraband kept changing and was gold bars at one point. Somehow I made it through.

Can't remember much more.

Burning Down the House

2010-09-16T08:35:00.000-05:00

This will be a bit incoherent... wait, all my dreams are incoherent.

I was in East Towne Mall except that Jacob's Field was there. The entrance had wood paneling and old furniture. My cousin was there, too. For some reason, a few of us decided to burn it down.

Then I was in there with old clocks, chairs, and tables. This part is a bit fuzzy, but I know we trashed a room and piled the furniture together.

Then I was back in East Towne and it had something to do with a Stephen King novel, one he didn't write in real life. It had demons and such. Then I was running from some robot with other robots. Then another clock was there and some store display in the middle of the mall. I can't decipher much except an Asian woman help me escape.

I haven't experienced the 90+ degree days yet this summer, but it's been 80+ about 90% of the time. I just don't like the heat. I think my parents lied and I was actually born on the coldest day in January of 1974. The best night's sleep I have have in a year is the night the heat breaks. I sleep like a baby then.

Soon... so very soon.

The Hobo from Norway

A little bit of history from the 1880 Census. This has been family lore, but is now official!

Martians In G-Strings Maybe?

2010-07-08T09:16:00.000-05:00

Maybe his erection is also an antenna?

A 50-year-old man is facing multiple charges after allegedly crashing his car into a strip club on East Washington Avenue in Madison on Tuesday night.

Police said Keith Rasmussen, 50, of Racine, was asked to leave Vision's Night Club after he vomited in the VIP area. Rasmussen got in his SUV in the parking lot, put it in reverse and slammed it into the front of the building, authorities said. A witness told police he and a woman had to jump out of the way to avoid being hit.

After hitting the building, Rasmussen's vehicle jumped the curb and drove down East Washington at a high rate of speed, according to police. A concerned citizen called 911 after seeing Rasmussen's SUV pull into a parking lot at a high speed.

When police made contact with Rasmussen in the parking lot, they asked him how he was doing. Rasmussen said, "Not good," but he had "seen some nice strippers." Police said Rasmussen then denied driving the SUV, telling police Martians helped get him to his current location.

The Jig Has Been Up for Awhile

2010-07-03T14:20:00.000-05:00

I really hoped that Obama would begin the decommissioning of the American Empire. I never thought that he would take a giant step in that direction, but he would apply the brakes to it's expansion. Tragically, he's under the same delusion as his predecessor. Afghans want self-determination and no amount of schools, vaccines or roads will change that.

The tragedy of this reality is that it would have taken no highly classified intelligence data or deeply penetrating brain power to predict its occurrence. A week’s reading at the local library about the occupations of Afghanistan by Alexander the Great, the British Empire and the Soviet Union shows each empire was sooner or later defeated and evicted—Alexander lasted longest because he built Greek colonies—by the most basic Afghan trait which has been transparently and overwhelmingly dominant since the 4th century B.C.: Afghans refuse to tolerate foreign occupation and rule.

Off to South America

2010-06-29T08:18:00.001-05:00

This dream is a bit muddled, but it started at the park where I played my little league games. My game was in what looked like a dugout (just not dugout) with a roof and all. The whole game was played in there and our pitcher was terrible. The other team kept running past him to first, and only, base and then back home. We inevitably lost and our (random dream) coach was pissed. I asked him why we played on a partial field and he didn't answer.

Then I was at a ballpark watching the Brewers play the Astros/Cubs as the opponent switched back an forth. The Brewers were ahead. The ballpark looked like it could hold maybe 5,000 people and most of the stands were behind the outfield.

Then I was at my old elementary school in Sun Prairie. There was an evil(?) black car about two feet long and a good red convertible one. Then Lady Gaga was being interviewed while sitting on the red car. She had dark hair that looked like a wig but didn't turn out to be one. She didn't look like the real Lady Gaga. Then some evil spirit told the black car to stop and got out a truck with a back hoe although the back how looked more like a clamping digger. The truck then trenched around the playground looking for a body. Then I was in the car with Lady Gaga chasing the black truck to stop it. We ran it over a few times and then headed off to South America.

A Sore Bakery

In about 1992, this song was everywhere. Now, I shall butcher it!

You can tell the world you never was my girl
You can burn my clothes when I'm gone
Or you can tell your friends just what a fool I've been
And laugh and joke about me on the phone

You can tell my arms to go back onto the phone
You can tell my feet to hit the floor
Or you can tell my lilps to tell my fingertips
They won't be reaching out for you no more

But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
I just don't think it'd understand
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
Ooo

You can tell your ma I moved to Arkansas
Or you can tell your dog to bite my leg
Or tell your brother Cliff who's fist can tell my lips
He never really liked me anyway

Oh tell your Aunt Louise, tell anything you please
Myself already knows that I'm okay
Oh you can tell my eyes to watch out for my mind
It might be walking out on me today

But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
I just don't think it'd understand
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
Ooo

But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
I just don't think it'd understand
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
Ooo

Don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
Ooo

Don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
Ooo

Women With Women?

2010-06-14T08:50:00.000-05:00

Hmmm... maybe the bible isn't so homophobic:

Ruth 1:15-18

15 Then she said, "Behold, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and her gods; return after your sister-in-law."

16 But Ruth said, "Do not urge me to leave you or turn back from following you; for where you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God.

17 "Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. Thus may the LORD do to me, and worse, if anything but death parts you and me."

18 When she saw that she was determined to go with her, she said no more to her.

This entry shows exactly why we need a comprehensive investigation into torturing during the Bush years. I can't even say if it has stopped as we are still involved all over the world doing the same thing under Obama that we did under Bush. The only difference is that Obama doesn't have to start anything as the last administration provided enough to keep the security establishment going for years.

If there was careful measuring of methods and effects, this isn't a few bad apples but institutionalized war crimes.

I included the lesser known verses:

English to French to Irish to Persian to Norwegian to Chinese to American!

Ah! You said that early morning light
As we all know, our pride what is good in the past dusk
Stripes are spacious and bright stars in the fight against dangerous
High ramp art, we have seen so bravely picked up the traffic?
Red glare and missiles, bombs exploded in the air,
Through the night to prove that the sign still exists;
Ah! Stars and Stripes wave that has not yet
In the land of the free and brave at home?

On the other hand, you can see mist from the abyss
As proud host of the enemy's slow death
What is a breeze, over the sharp,
As reflected and embedded, half discloses?
We met the first light of dawn
Full glory reflected now in the conversation:
"It's Stars and Stripes, oh, long waves
In the land of the free and brave family.

And where there is a contempt oath
Chaos and confusion of war fighting
If forced to leave their homes, our country is no longer!
Their blood, she is not dirty.
No shelter save-employed and the slave
Fear of flying or severe depression:
The Stars and Stripes flag victory
In the land of the free and brave family.

Ah! If not, are free to
Home suddenly from heart and destruction of war!
Unique victory and peace, save the planet sky
Praise the power is retained and made a part of our country.
When we win when our ideals,
This is our motto: "Our God is our trust."
And Stars and Stripes wave in triumph
In the land of the free and brave at home!

Life As It Is

2010-05-16T22:04:00.000-05:00

It's kind of nice to finally use my laptop for the excuse I bought it for. Speaking of, is anyone looking for a kick-ass laptop? Anyway...

In the "What the Fuck!?! Oh yeah, it's just Pat", I finished the original Degrassi series. Yeah, it's hokie, but the characters were the same age that I was at the time. The look of things was familiar with lots of big hair and mullets. The only difference was instead of saying "ruht" and "fir", they said "aboot". The complete series of Daria arrived this last week, so I'll dig through that to pass time and remember why I hate humanity, mostly because I can relate to a cartoon than most people. On a more respectable note, I ordered the Modern Lovers album and Meat Puppets II on vinyl.

Louie has ennui and a black beard. He could have an impacted digestive system or maybe I need to get a new UV light. I'll take him into the vet this week. If I get the same vet as when I took Leopold in, she'll think I'm a terrible owner. Aaagghhh!

I'm tired, I'll post more tomorrow.

You need to share, to dare
Then go and depreciation

It's magic, is a tragedy, a loss is a victory

The A-Team!

2010-05-13T08:01:00.000-05:00

The original:

In 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team.

From English to Swahili to Irish to Indonesian to Hebrew to Latvian to English:

Unit in 1972 to resolve kikomandoo jail by military court for a crime or adultery crime. People, when he escaped from the prison reserved for land in Los Angeles. Today, however, wanted the government, they survive as mercenaries. If you have a problem if someone else can help, if you can find them, maybe you can hire a team.

The Story of Michael Knight

2010-05-12T15:03:00.001-05:00

The original:

When Police Officer Michael Long is betrayed and shot in the head during a stakeout, his life is saved when the bullet deflects off the metal plate in his skull - the result of an injury sustained in the Vietnam War; his face, however, is horrifically damaged. When he comes to, Michael learns that after being officially declared dead, he has been brought under the medical care of the Knight Foundation, a philanthropic organization owned by billionaire Wilton Knight. Knight explains that he is dying from a fatal disease, but hopes that his life’s crusade of helping the helpless will live on in his new protege. With the aid of reconstructive surgery the young officer is given a new face and identity, that of ‘Michael Knight’, access to an advanced prototype car equipped with an artificial intelligence named K.I.T.T. (Knight Industries Two Thousand), and offered a job fighting crime for F.L.A.G. – the Foundation for Law And Government.

Translated to Arabic to Russian to Welsh to Maltese to English:

Betrayed by police, Michael Long, shot in the head while observing, and saved his life when shot leaving a metal plate in his skull - the result of war damage in Vietnam, and his face , but in the grotesque injury. When it comes to Michael to find out after it was officially declared dead, taken under medical care for the Knight Foundation, a charitable organization, owned by billionaire Wilton Knight.

Poor mountaineer, barely keep his family fed,
One day, shooting at some food,
And coming from 'Bubblin crude Floor.

Jed's a millionaire, so you know,
for the first time as,Jed relatives away
Should be a place where one California
Therefore, they are loaded the truck and moved to Beverly.

Hiller, ie.Swimming pools, movie stars.

Beverly hillbilly!

They placed at the end of the song:
So, now, goodbye to Jed and all his relatives, it is time.
And they would like to thank everyone who spent droppin a gap - friendly
We invite you to return to this page
For their hospitalities heapin
Impressive this. Order settings. Take your shoes. Can "The hearing will now go back?

Muddling of the Titans

2010-04-06T13:46:00.001-05:00

I caught the new "Clash of the Titans" film this weekend. What a turd. Here's what I liked and didn't.

What I Liked

Io: Perseus had a fairy godmother of sorts. She was cursed with agelessness when she refused the advances of a god. I guess she was kind of like Bubo, but a lot hotter. She added a little bit of depth to a thin movie. Being a turd, the movie didn't reveal who sent her, so I'm guessing Zeus.

Mads Mikkelsen: He played the leader of the guards that set out with Perseus to find Medusa. His character was one-dimensional by the script, but Mikkelsen was able to convey a jaded, yet dedicated soldier looking for something worth fighting for.

Medusa: They made Medusa more menacing than in the original. She was a woman twice wronged who took her frustration out on everyone. She would giggle to taunt and her face was her birth one until she turned a man to stone. The only thing I didn't like is that she went after Perseus like a woman possessed. She's a stone cold killer, so that didn't work.

What I Wanted to Like, but Didn't

Polly Walker: Polly Walker proved in Rome that beauty is more how you carry yourself than looking picture-perfect. I admit it, I have a boner for her. Unfortunately, she didn't have anything to work with. If you took Junior to the bathroom near the beginning of the film, you would have missed her whole performance. Mikkelsen at least had a few scenes, but Walker was allowed to pontificate on man not needing gods for about 20 seconds before Hades turned her into an old woman.

The Special Effects: I did like the looks of most of the special effects. They didn't kill everything like in Star Wars or look a Happy Painter painting like Lord of the Rings. Still, Ray Harryhausen's effects had a bit more elegance to them.

What I Hated

Where to start?

Sam Worthington: How he gets all of these rolls is beyond me. The guy makes Kate Beckinsale seem like Judy Garland. He went through the movie with a "Kick Me" sign on his back and his costars seemed to be laughing at him, but the "Deus ex Machina" of the script made everyone help him anyway. Parsley is more compelling than this guy.

Revenge Instead of Love: Perseus's family gets killed by Hades for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. His motivation is thus revenge versus love. Not very true to Greek Mythology and a much less compelling reason to cheer for Robo-Douche as he fumbles around.

Argos: Ok, so I'm being OCD here, but how does a city survive surrounded by unscalable mountains and a small harbor? Not one inch of arable land.

Hippie Jesus Freak: The movie had an anti-religion edge, which was fine by me, but to express it the director created a tripping (from organic mushrooms no doubt) hippie with rat-nest hair. He warned all of the townsfolk to pray to the gods for forgiveness and drug Andromeda onto the platform to be sacrificed to the Kraken. Nope, no dignity in her sacrifice. I think I've seen this guy on Willy Street.

The Ending: When Perseus finally arrives on Pegasus to turn the Kraken to stone, I met it with a yawn. Ok, creature dead, douchebag is a reluctant hero (versus heroism as its own goal in mythology) who doesn't even get Andromeda.

The Very Ending: So to make sure everyone knows that Perseus is, um, straight, Zeus revives Io for him to enjoy. And give the prospect of a sequel.

Say what you will about Steven Sommers, but he has a bit of joy in his junk.

Busking in Paris

2010-03-30T08:45:00.001-05:00

I was riding in the back of a transport truck through Paris after it was liberated in WWII. I pointed out to the people in the truck that all these buildings were rigged to explode, but the Germans never destroyed them. I noticed that some of the buildings had their facades blown off.

Then I was by a bridge. The bridge went over a courtyard below to a romantic style building. I was busking with some guy on drums and a woman on bass. I played the guitar and was trying to get a harder sound from everyone. I wanted to be the a pioneer in rock and roll, about ten years early.

I was in the same courtyard, but it had a large dirigible in the middle and buildings built into the walls. All of this was for people about 1/10 the size of me. Then Superman and Batman were defending it against aliens. The aliens made all these plants grow. The rest is fuzzy. Then I was walking along some catwalks in a bombed out building. I was still trying to be a pioneer in rock and roll. Part of the building was a school hallway with lockers. I was mad that the record labels were not happy with my sound so I decided to start my own label.

Then the building was part marsh and I was walking through it. There were two skeletons about 12" high playing some tune. I knew them when they worked at a grocery store so I walked up and talked to them.

2. The vast majority of roses sold for Valentine’s Day in the U.S. are imported from South America, wasting fossil fuels.

10. Forty percent of people have negative feelings towards Valentine’s Day.

Playlists Galore

2009-11-24T15:03:00.002-06:00

Today I've been listening to 8tracks.com. It's an music streaming site where people posts playlists so instead of some computer puking up random tracks based on your preferences, the playlists are coherently themed.

Give it a listen.

Wither Obama

2009-11-24T11:55:00.004-06:00

I never did believe the overarching "Change" hype of the Obama campaign. By record, he was fairly cautious and moderate, which is what attracted me to him. After the recklessness of the Bush years and the closing of the American Era (1945-2008), I thought he'd be a good person to get the nation to take a deep breath and reassess what we were doing.

I was wrong, so let the buyer's remorse set in.

I do acknowledge that he inherited a terrible situation, one that will take time to fix. Yet the state of the economy isn't the source of my disappointment, but his solutions are. The stimulus was a waste of money that cost over $300,000 per supposed job saved. The cash for clunkers was useless and providing a huge tax break to buy houses when the real problem is that there are too many houses and too much debt. Fighting the crash of a bubble by trying to inflate another one was a main cause of the crash in the first place.

I've also changed my view of some things in the last few months. I think we can only make the problems in Iraq and Afghanistan worse just by our presence. I thought maybe we could do some good in Afghanistan, but my mind has been changed by this book. We've done the damage and we're not the solution. Even if I believed we had the best of intentions, and I don't believe we did, the road to hell is paved with them.

He's not all to blame as we have a joke of a Congress and too many people dreaming up death panels and the like, but I refuse to choose between Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum.

With that note, I do appreciate the more dialogue driven foreign policy of late and I do admire his biography. But the problem is 70,000 soldiers in Germany 64 years after the end of World War II, trillion-dollar deficits funding nothing useful, and a rotting infrastructure both tangible and not. And that's only part of it.

We'll be forced to deal with all of this, but I'd rather do it now before my country is bankrupt fiscally and morally.

Wither all of it.

Good Food

2009-11-19T16:24:00.002-06:00

Today I had to cart* my father over to Milwaukee for a job meeting. It was at the new space for Gloriosos', an Italian Deli, we went across to the old one for lunch. The owner bagged our purchases. He's 87. His brothers and other relatives work there. So if you get to Milwaukee, go there.

*My father got caught going 26 over right where the speed limit drops from 65 to 55. Although the judge reduced it to 16 over, he suspended his license for 15 days. It's only the third ticket he has gotten in 52 years of driving. Stupidity incarnate.

2009-10-28T16:40:00.002-05:00

So I've.... AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH "Love Me Do" popped up on my iTunes. I can't say I like the Beatles, but it's even worse as it is done by the Brady Bunch. Karma is a bitch.

Anyway I'm in a new mode for Winter: cooking and exercising. I need to eat better. Actually, I don't, but I want to, so I'll finally learn to really cook. It's going.... sort of.

I also need to start training for the rugby tournament next June.

Um, there.

Under the Virtual Radar

2009-10-28T16:39:00.003-05:00

So I deleted all of my legitimate and dummy Twitter, Facebook, etc. accounts.

Now I'm just a virtual apparition on the internet, so I guess that means I'm real. Sorry, I have no use for collective noise.

In L.A.

2009-10-22T08:38:00.008-05:00

So last night I drove to LA with Shaun. We met up with Shari and Michael and hung out on some hill. I don't remember much about this part.

The next part, the four of us plus my father were heading to some Disney attraction. We went down in the elevator into a large dimly lit room. A 18" raised state was in the middle of the room with a drum set on it. CC Deville, with his fluffy white hair, from Poison sat at the drums, which is funny since he plays guitar. A woman came out to sing and I asked Shari who it was. She knew, but I forget the name, and said she wanted to move over by the dance floor so Sophie could dance. I waved my father over, but he wanted to sit on a bench instead of the floor.

Then Poison came on and played "Talk Dirty To Me". I followed my father over to the doors. We waited and when it was done, the Disney experience continued. The doors opened and we were running through an obstical course made up of fiber glass rock. Fake machine gunners shot at us as fireworks or something popped at us. That hurt. I climbed up a, um, hill and hid.

The next part I as queuing to get on a train. I was in the line to get in, but needed to get a ticket using my credit card. I moved into another line to buy a ticket and found I was in another line to get in. Then I went to be the back of the line and eventually got my ticket. When I got in, some guy walked over, picked up part of the train and threw it into the desert. He kept picking up parts of the train and throwing them. I ran into the desert to make sure my friends were ok.

Then I was driving back with Shaun and had to do my homework. That sucked the most.

Would You Like A Puppy With That

2009-10-16T14:47:00.002-05:00

McDonald's was doing a promotion where you could get a free pet if you spent a dollar. I was horrified by this and bought four items and received a dog, a parrot, and two other animals. I then stressed out on how to take care of them. I decided to take them to the Humane Society and give a monetary donation. The dream didn't take me that far.

I also was in a close-out store in a mall with Shaun and Molly. I couldn't find anything that I liked. I thought I would find a good shirt or something, but no. The next space over was empty and cavernous. They used to sell tv's and such and I remember them from an old dream. The other part was in it, too, but wasn't a close-out store then.

Simple wish, really.

Bio #14: Jan and Jace

2009-09-22T08:20:00.003-05:00

Meet Jan and Jace:

Jan and Janice are members of the Saint James Episcopal Church in Hibbing, MN. Due to their prowess at making jello salads with pretzel bits on top and green been salads, yet complete inability to make punch without having three inches of sugar at the bottom, they were named the "Wonder Twins". It was at a funeral where they were serving the after-service meal that a writer for a new series "Superfriends" learned of them and incorporated them into the show.

Stagnation?

2009-09-17T12:11:00.002-05:00

The last six months have been ecstasy for my muddle mind. I've gained a clarity where the world is not longer intimidating and my anxiety doesn't shut me down. I'm busy with playing rugby, volunteering at WORT, learning to cook, and planning to find a cheap flight to Amsterdam in February. Yes, Amsterdam is cold in February but a downright Caribbean heatwave compared to here.

Which reminds me a my favorite quote: "If you ever feel a sense of great of contentment, don't fret; it will pass." I don't know where it comes from, but it fits. I'm 35, so I'm creeping towards middle-age. Would I be happy married with kids? Sure. Would I be happy married without kids? Maybe. Would I be happy not being married? I don't know. Right now I'm perfectly happy on my own but the last five years have flown by, so whose to say the next five won't.

I definitely won't do anything for the hell of it, but sitting around my my thumb up my butt would make the choice for me. God knows I won't be a middle-age white guy sitting in front of his tv in the suburbs, watching the latest crap fest. But will I be happy by myself?

I don't know.

Random Babbling With Some Purpose

2009-08-26T12:35:00.005-05:00

Those of you who have been (un)fortunate enough to be around me when caffeinated or, even more so, caffeinated and slightly drunk know my propensity to talk a mile a minute and switch from subject to subject. Although and I neither caffeinated nor drunk, I still have that mindset now.

Ye Be Warned.

So the past 3-4 months have been the most anxiety and self-doubt free months I've ever had. Strange really. I can't say anything really phases me anymore, at least not deeply. Such a vacation it has been.

If you want to catch a couple of movies, see District 9 and 500 Days of Summer. The former is a social commentary on racism & immigration. The main alien in it is the most humane CGI character that you'll ever see. Imagine Jar Jar Binks.... this alien redeems that. I didn't get too excited about the last third focusing on the main alien and main human, but that was more a personal preference of mine. It doesn't take away from the film at all in general. The second focuses on a brief romance or fling between two people. It roles through the light and fun of the start of a relationship to the bitter end, then resolve. There's a couple things the guy did that wasn't how I'd handle things, but it gave food for thought.

Ted Kennedy is dead. Next.

I'm working on a playlist called "Pornicopia". Yes, it will have one porn song in it, but mostly it's a collection of new music and some old that I've been listening to recently punctuated by audio of movies and such.

Rugby is going well and last night's practice burned my lungs. We're ultimately preparing for the international tournament in Minnesota next year. No broken rib, concussion, severed foot, or carotid artery will keep me from it.

Shaun moved out and into a new place with his girlfriend. It is strange to both Naida and me that he's not around. Tim has moved in a is a good presence. Unfortunately, his cat, Sophie, is very territorial and my cat is a complete wimp. We're working through the drama using gates and spray bottles.

Um, that's it.

Muddled Mess

2009-08-17T09:23:00.003-05:00

I can't put a narrative my dreams last night, so here's the corporate solution: Bullet Points!

- I was talking to my maternal grandfather.
- Jake "the Snake" Roberts was wrestling Hulk Hogan. He pile drived him on some big cushion thing a few times, then on the regular mat. He got his snake out, too.
- Kids were all facinated by the snake and ran over there. Jake put the snake back in the carrying case and some little midget kit was in there with a helmet and a battle axe.
- There was some South Park episode to do with Star Wars.
- I was in a valley, trying to solve a murder. It was more like a game than an investigation. I caught the murderer because she gave me an improbable travel time.
- A gun fight broke out between (I think) mercenaries and hunters. I had to slide down some mud into Chicago (all twenty square feet of it). I learned that 3 million of Chicago's residents lived on a boat in the lake.

So there you have it.

Sixty-Four Years

2009-08-06T09:25:00.003-05:00

Sixty-four years ago, my country unleashed a new weapon upon Hiroshima. This was in addition to the fire bombing of Japan that the army had carried forth. There's a reason that all Japanese cities are made of new buildings. The fire bombing caused more carnage and disaster than the two hydrogen bombs did.

The difference is that the development of nuclear weapons changed the nature of what Theodore Roosevelt called "the big stick". With North Korea, Iran, Pakistan, Burma, and India all getting or developing nuclear weapons and many more having large stock piles, the world has an uneasy truce.

So I hope what Obama and the Hiroshima mayor wants, does happen.

Uh, Yeah

Gein's Revival

2009-07-21T16:44:00.000-05:00

Yep, something in the beer in this state:

LANCASTER, Wis. (AP) -- An attorney for a 23-year-old man accused of trying to dig up a dead woman in Cassville to have sex with her says his client only wanted to wanted to pose her in a "non-sexual way."

In opening statements, defense attorney Suzanne Edwards described Nicholas Grunke as a shy virgin who longed to have a girlfriend. When a 20-year-old woman died in a 2006 motorcycle crash, Edwards says Grunke wanted to "set up a little fairy-tale scenario."

Grunke is accused of attempted third-degree sexual assault, attempted criminal damage to a cemetery and attempted misdemeanor theft.

Prosecutor Tony Pozorski argued that Grunke intended to have sex with the body.

Pozorski argued that Grunke, his twin brother Alexander, and friend Dustin Radke were involved in the alleged scheme. The prosecutor says a van found near the scene contained shovels, a wrecking bar and a box of condoms.

Pop! Goes the Fetishist

2009-07-17T16:45:00.001-05:00

Some people have interesting desires:

A Duluth man with a history of burglary to satisfy a self-professed sexual fetish for slashing large rubber exercise balls has been at it again, according to a complaint made public on Thursday.

I guess he was going for the double pop:

Court documents in the earlier cases indicate that Bjerkness told Duluth police he slashed the rubber balls to satisfy a sexual urge. He said he popped some of them with his hands. Experts in the field said that Bjerkness has a fetish or unusual attraction to inflatable exercise devices.

'tis But A Scratch!

2009-07-17T13:59:00.002-05:00

So my right pinky is only sprained, not broken. I saw a sports medicine guy who plays rugby and he gave me some padding to put between my fingers.

So Oshkosh Pigfest is a go.

Facebook Stalking

2009-07-10T14:12:00.003-05:00

So I've had some weird dreams lately full of people I've known from my past. It got me to thinking what I could have done if I wasn't consumed with anxiety while growing up.

Enter Facebook Stalking.

Although I'm not openly on Facebook, I created a profile for just these occasions. So I looked the pictures off all of those people from my past and realized that my life has ended up ok as I'm not 400 pounds, putting Sears Photo Studio pictures of my kids online, and generally looking like I'm waiting around until my kids graduate so I can get back to my life in the suburbs.

Yes, Virginia, there are fates worse than death.

Kind of Not White

2009-07-08T13:55:00.003-05:00

So I went through all of the Stuff White People Like and scored a 22 out of 126. Now does that make me not very white or does that make me 22 out of 126 whiter than an average person? I didn't bother finding out officially, so if someone has, please let me know. I really should have a 23rd with "Liking not liking being too white". I think that would qualify

Of Marches and Puppets

2009-06-29T11:43:00.003-05:00

I'm a devoted citizen of this state, yet I occasionally find myself in first-time experiences integral to this state and city that most people do before finishing high school. Such was the case last Thursday when I finally made it to Summerfest in Milwaukee.

A friend who covers music for the local paper texted me that she had an open ticket to see Bon Jovi on Thursday. I kind of scratched my head as I'm not a big fan of them despite buying "Slippery When Wet" when I was 13. But then I thought why not as it gets me out of the house and I'll find a way to enjoy it anyway. My friend bought two tickets and then was comped two press passes.

She picked up the press passes and her and another fried of her's took the press passes. She almost sold the extra ticket to some strange older guy and it's thankful she didn't as the press passes were to take photos of the event, not enter. Since I wasn't all hot to see Bon Jovi, they took the tickets and I thought about heading to downtown to hang out for a while. Then I remembered that she said the Meat Puppets were playing at 8. I had seen them last month as a +1 with my friend, so I bought the $15 general admission ticket and headed in.

The first stop was the Water Street Brewery booth and I promptly had two glasses of beer in my hand. I enjoyed walking around seeing the wares and food. The Meat Puppets were as good as they were at the Annex the month previous and crowd was really into it. I also realized my age watching all of the other aging Gen X'ers in the crowd. I also watched some of Matthew Sweet, but didn't stay for the whole thing. I tweeted on it here. I think I'll head back next year.

On Saturday I headed up to Pride in Minneapolis. On the car ride up, I caught up on all of the team drama of the last month from Stephen. I have to remember to use Priceline as Stephen got a room at the Hilton downtown for $50 a night. I think it's usually $150. We caught a little bit a Lorring Park, caught dinner with Michael, Shari and Sophie and then headed to the Eagle around 10. We didn't stay long at the Eagle as it was full of older, sweaty men and I didn't think Melissa, who I was catching up with and who would be only one of three women there, would much enjoy it. Stephen, Melissa and I caught a bar across the river whose name I forget. Then we dropped Stephen off at the Saloon and hung out for a while at Town Talk Diner. That was the first time in two or two and a half years that I'd been able to sit and talk with her, so that was great.

Sunday I marched in the parade holding one end of our banner. I'm thinking that I may be platonically gay given all of the stuff I do. So be it. We played about a half hour of rugby and even though it was touch, I managed to jam my pinky while putting the ball down. Ain't it pretty?

I caught dinner with Michael, Shari and Sophie again then headed home daydreaming all the way back.

Green for the Iranian Protesters

2009-06-18T11:44:00.003-05:00

I've been meaning, as I often have done, to blog more. This will be short so:

1. Petition Google to change their logo for a day to support the Iranian protesters.

2. Andrew Sullivan has been covering it extensively at his blog on the Atlantic website. I'm sure there are other sites covering it as well.

Too often those in charge repress this kind of protest and I'm afraid it may end up like Tiananmen Square. This difference with the Iranian protests is that they are more cohesive and Iran has a far more engaged citizenry. Some change is on the way, I hope for the better.

Chattanooga

2009-06-11T08:14:00.002-05:00

This morning at about 4 am, I was married to a Chinese woman who was getting her masters degree somewhere. We lived in Chattanooga. We talked about the auto industry next to this man-made slope. She then cooked dinner for the two of us.

Then I was in some apartment with wooden floors that had just been refinished. A party started, then I woke up.

Belongs to this guy. I'm no alpha dog-type and don't believe in this Maxim-style manhood, but this guy is pretty pathetic. She leaves him, probably because he decorated his bathroom pink, and then he makes this pile of dung? Does anybody (all two of you) really think this is beautiful like the people who commented on it? If this was me, I'd chop my balls of and stop pretending.

You Fail!

2009-05-04T20:07:00.003-05:00

So I'm supposed to be doing my project for class. It's due Monday and the professor said two months ago "If you haven't started it, get going." Not that it's that hard, I just don't care. The only ramification to me is if I wanted to keep going, I'd have an "F". And I'd be a bit disappointed in myself. Then again, with all of the anxiety and obsessive/compulsive thoughts at bay, I kind of don't care. This could be one of those decisions that bites me in the ass later on. I can afford that as I have very few of those. I even took high school seriously when I was there. Then again, that got me into Macalester.

Someday, I have to make it to Tórshavn. Just do.

Speaking of, I am going to make it to Saint Louis early this summer to catch the botanical gardens. Plus Saint Louis is a fun town. Extended weekend, me thinks.

Rifftrax is amazing!

I am taking time off from school this summer, maybe never to return. I'm not that challenged by it and I want to catch up on personal projects. Projects such as reading the stack of books that I've accumulated, making that damn website of articles that I like, family history, etc., and just enjoying the summer. To be honest, I like winter the best, but with rugby I have a much better reason to like Summer more.

I'm tinkering the idea of going to Disneyland this January. When I visited Michael and Shari in January 2000, I really had a blast with them and Adam going through the mostly empty park. And if I can get a good group of friends together, it would be a blast even if we were camping at Chernobyl.

I'm half-thinking of joining the Republican Party to cause trouble from the inside. Why preach to the converted?

Ah, that's all I have to say, but it's more than I've said on here in a while.

P.S. I think I may have broken a rib. Still playing this weekend, though.

P.P.S or P.S.S. Um, I forgot.

So be it.

Damn Depressing Movie

2009-04-23T07:51:00.003-05:00

So I watched the Wrestler last night, a very good, but depressing movie. So of course my dreams were all fucked up. I remember that Mickey Rourke had a pet spider, but it was covered in a ball of dust, twigs, and other shit. He had to put it somewhere for the spider to come out. The Wonder Bread man made an appearance, but he was supposed to be some hipster and his presence was really special. Then I was with Shari, Michael, and Amanda. We walked past a couple of dead, bloody cows in the road and I worried what Sophie would think.

Can't remember much more.

Yes!
