Spooky Politicians

So I watched the democratic debate last night which I almost had a chance to go to. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed watching it. AS I was watching, I worte down some thoughts to share with you here:

The Hilary Clinton mask was the top selling mask for Halloween.

The boys teamed up on her to discredit her....I think ignoring her would be better.

Why is the current administration removing funds from the NIH(National Institutes of Health) and giving it to faith based initiatives?! That makes me nuts.

Walmart fought against inspecting containers that came into the country and now we have all these bad Chinese imports? I think Kucinich made that reference.

Speaking of Kucinich, he said he saw a UFO. Nice. Also, I think he's just in this race to push the impeachment issue out there, not run for office.

Did Biden remove the plugs? I hope so, because he's gonna look bad soon. Also, he's mean.

Edwards did nothing but drawl.

Hilary didn't answer the question about giving Drivers Licenses to Illegals. Even when asked to a second time.

Ron Paul supporters at the Democratic Rally!

Hilary could make a good president, unfortunately she's losing her soul in this race to the prize.

The last thing I thought about as it came to a close was: Could I do this? Could I run for a political office? I think I could. Until my opponent finds this blog and outs my lesbian daughter. Wait....what?

pressin' the flesh,

Halloweenie

Real quick: Looks like Time.com reads Thewster....notice the date. (thanks, iheartmediocrity)


This weekend is the big "party" weekend for Halloween. I love this season...World Series, changing leaves, cooler temps, HALLOWEEN.

My last 3 costumes: A prisoner(blech), the dude from The Big Lebowski(great), and Spongebob Squarepants(Awesome). This year I will be a gladiator! I will yell, "This. Is. Sparta." As much as possible and annoy EVERYBODY. I can't wait. Throw your recent costumes into the comments page.

One thing is starting to disturb me though. While we all know Halloween for many twentysomething ladies to dress slutty(no objection, here), it's starting to permeate to the younger crowd and this is a bit disturbing. Evidence:

One

Two

Three

Four


Am I right or overreacting?

Survey: What would you save in a fire?

Okay, suggested by a reader, what five things would you save from your place of residence if there was a fire?

Mine:
1. The big TV. (That thing's expensive!)
2. My computer. (Also expensive and not paid off yet!)
3. My papers. ("What was in the trunk? Papers. Business papers. And what do you do, sir? I'm unemployed.")
4. I have a thing with sentimental crap like my high school ring, stuff like that.
5. DVD case. (Screw the clothes, I need a new wardrobe anyway.)

Put your top five in the comments. I EXPECT frequent commenters to contribute!

Unmatched Socks...

Can't stop sneezing. Allergies are great.

What's wrong with the Eagles? I can't fathom it. They might need a shakeup.

Why did I just hear about Tara Reid? Didn't she officially go away?

Getting up in the dark is the worst. It reminds me I spend most of my day in artificial light.

I enjoy family parties. I wish there were more. Happy birthday, Julia.

If you're not enraged, you're not paying attention.

Isn't it amazing that companies actually build there products to break, so you'll buy again. That's crooked to me.

Throw out those unmatched socks, their mates ain't coming back.

Rodrigo y Gabriela Concert Review

First off....new poll------------------------------------------------------->

Last night, some friends and I attended the Rodrigo y Gabriela concert at the Electric Factory in Philadelphia. I'm kind of hot and cold on the EF as a venue. Alcohol is too expensive, but the upstairs is nice. Unfortunately if you are under 21 you cannot enter the upstairs, which is a shame. As far as sound quality, there's only one place to be and that's directly in front of the stage.

The crowd was docile going in; a mixed crowd of all ages. Actually I have to say that it was probably the most diverse crowd I've ever seen at a show. The show didn't sell out in the slightest, which surprises me because these two are Philly favorites thanks to 88.5 WXPN. That's not to say the attendees weren't enthused either. These were diehard fans.

The Alex Skolnick Trio opened. Too mellow for that big venue. Their instrumental acid jazz would have been better suited to a small club. Everyone milled around and barely afforded minor applause. They were there for something else.

On to the main act. Rodrigo y Gabriela are and acoustic guitar duo from Mexico. They started off in the heavy metal scene in the nineties, but quit that to play acoustic heavy-metal inspired flamenco music. They weren't trying to be successful but their current manager asked them to go on a tour of Ireland and they took off from there.
As soon as RodGab took the stage the crowd went nuts. Gabriela pounded the guitar rythmically and hypnotically, edifying Rodrigo's lead picking. Many were dancing and dont get me wrong, I love to see people dance at a concert and I will often break into dance myself, but this was ridiculous. The several in front of us were spastic, elliciting Elaine comparisons.
Highlights:
A trained ear or a fan could catch, throughout the night, Metallica songs peppered into the flamenco stylings. It was a nice treat.
The duo only plays instrumental and never sings, but the crowd is the vocalist as in a performance of Wish You Were Here.
The audience participation is off the charts, with intricate clapping sessions backed by Gabriela's thump-strum.
Rodrigo switched his guitar into electric for a couple of passages that was so seamless that it could hardly be noticed.
The requisite closing of the show with their cover of Stairway of Heaven, which, done by ANYONE else would be hokey, but with RodGab, you see why the song is delicate and sweet, which Led Zeppelin could never accomplish.

This was my second Rodrigo y Gabriela show and I won't be missing another.

Proof! Tamacun!

Dirtday

Today is my birthday. Thanks to all sending greetings!


So far my favorite one was happy birthday sung to the Oscar Meyer Weiner song and also this:



I don't know what going whole hog is, but I want to learn....badly.

and this.

On to other things....

I'm generally a centrist person, as far as my political viewpoints go. I'm viewed as a liberal due to the fact that America is so polarized that you're either one or the other. I've been trying to understand conservative viewpoints lately. I mentioned in an earlier post that I had been looking for a decent conservative voice and I found Glenn Beck who is pretty decent. I've been listening to lotsa conservative opinions and I noticed one continuous vein: That you need to let people fail, and that everyone needs to make it on their own. I agree that the failing in many respects teaches us to fight to live(what does not kill us...), but who of us has not gotten by with a little help, especially me.
We need to understand that we are our brother's keeper and we need to take care of each other. We cannot LET each other fail. I had some rough patches in my life, and if I weren't "bailed out" more than I should have been, I probably wouldn't have succeeded as I am, and I am thankful for the help I got. Many conservatives think the free market and capitalism can solve all ills, but I contend that capitalists are too concerned with just their shareholders and not stakeholders. Human capital is still just capital to them. It's unfortunate.

We all go together to the future or we don't go at all.

You know what? I have NO problem with Monday. The effects of a weekend are still upon you. The horrid realization of how long it will be until the next weekend hasn't hit yet. People usually straggle in to the office so it's quiet. Tuesday is suck day to me...you've had time to realize how long a day can be again and how much further you have to go.

Revolution

There IS a revolution coming. Politicians are getting older and more out of touch. They can't keep up with the youth of this country that stands more informed than any ever. That's why this article sent to me by reader A', interested me. Go here and read, it's not long.

What interested me was that the author says that Generation Q is too quiet politically. Interesting idea, but I don't think that's quite correct. He claims that the politicians of today do not hear our voices as we don't cry out for change in public, that Bloggers, like me, our voices aren't being heard.

The revolution will not be televised. Change especially in this bogged down political system does not happen over night. We, Generation Q, know this. We know youth is largely ignored. Whether people like it or not , the internet and instant communication will be our future. The information revolution is in full swing and we've decided to leave behind those who won't adapt. 25 years from now, those of GQ will be leading society.

We're being quiet because we're leaving the current, corrupted mindsets behind. You can't teach an old dog new tricks. We're taking them to the woods, pushing them out of the car and driving off.

The Color Gray

As I sit in my office cubicle I am bombarded by one thing: the color gray. I despise this color. I despise its blandness, use and misuse.

Let me name the things in my prefurnished cubicle that are gray or its close cousin, beige:
The WALLS!
The cabinets
The drawers
The phone
The lamp
The ceiling
The laptop
The mouse
The desk surface
The carpet(mostly)
I spend 8 hours a day surrounded and engulfed in the color gray. Is it really good for productivity? I think gray just stifles the mind.
As far as the world being in black and white, it's not. Stop kidding yourself. It would be nice and easy to solve all the world's problems if the world were black and white. No, we have to reside in this "gray area". It signals recursive compromise. Who wants that, especially in the "gimme-now" America. (side note: I am tired of smelling the guy's aftershave in the next cubicle, it's probably called "Gray for Men")
People with gray hair are almost automatically branded as old, regardless. (Does not apply to George Clooney)
You cant spell it either grey or gray, further establishing its indecisiveness and banality.

The only real positive thing I could find on wikipedia was "grey matter" which we know means your brain, which I like. My brain I mean.

MMMmmmmmm lime gum...

Yes, I wrote that headline immediately after putting a piece of lime gum in my mouth. And I don't have enough for everyone!

Remember Trapper Keepers? You were issued one if you were born in the years 1977 - 1983. Remember their spacey virtual reality designs? I assure you they are no longer the same. For example, look at the cover of the one on their front page. It says "Hey, I'm always right!" on it. Nice. That's the reinforcement children need in their learning stages.

But what I truly remember of the TK, is that they didn't work. Kids would carry them around with papers hanging out of them. I remember seeing many a TK corpse lying in a trash bin or the floor of a bathroom, its plastic covering ripped off, its once quasi futuristic designs nowhere to be seen. These things always died violent deaths, like they were torn apart by wild dogs. You'd have to imagine it was the kid who was so fed up with his Screech flavored Trapper Keeper that he tore it to shreds in angst. Poor thing.

These things never made it through a year of school. Ever. Then you'd go back to normal folders and binders that you should have used in the first place. You know the kind with the Lamborghinis on them. Or porsches. Or Care Bears......Ahem.

Not About Baseball...

Hey folks, the Phils lost yesterday and that's all I'm going to say about that. Series at 0-1.

REQUEST: To those who know me, I'm looking for a digital picture of myself. One that looks almost like as ID picture but further back. Oh and it will help if I don't look like a monster or ridiculous in it either. Thanks in advance.

Okay. Here goes. Check this out. See you in a few.

Back?

At what point did Political Correctness make a giant leap back into the hearts and minds of America. Remove Halloween? Who is that offending?

It seems, as far as this article details, no one has complained about Halloween. Or Christmas. Halloween, while based in a PAGAN tradition hundreds of years ago, is devoid of any religious meaning now. Thanks to the christian right and Janet Jackson, we are so worried about offending anyone that we have become a blase little shell of a community. We can't include some so we exclude all.

Hey blind people can't watch fireworks so lets cancel those. Deaf people can't hear music, so no more of that. Stephen Hawking can't drive a car. Later, cars!

Actually I wouldn't mind going back to the PC crazy world of the early nineties. Then I can use words like vertically challenged again. And isn't Phil Spector just as follically challenged as bald people?

Droopy McCool

If you know who Droopy McCool is, you are a nerd.

Ugh. I stayed up until 11:30-45 last night watching the Rockies and the Padres duke it out to see who faces the Phillies. It was the 13th and neither team had scored a run in about 5 innings. Boring, I wanted to go to sleep, but I put so much time into watch a non Philadelf game.

Needless to say I shut my eyes figuring I would hear any progress. Let me tell you what, the sound of a baseball game that I wasn't emotionally invested in put me to sleep better than anything I've ever experienced. Well, except for one other thing.

Okay, lots of links today and A NEW POLL!
