happier man

We know the world is doomed.
We know that life is cursed.
If you berate the hand of fate,
you'll only make things worse.

Know your limitations.
Formulate a better plan.
Modify your aspirations.
Be a happier man.

- Bertol.t Bre.cht, The Thr.eepenny Ope.ra

confusing quote of the day

Regarding the Senate scuttling of the proposed amendment banning gay marriage:

"No one wants to discriminate against gays," responded Judiciary Committee Chairman Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah). "Simply put, we want to preserve traditional marriage."

Fuck you if you vote for these turkeys. What a bunch of rubes.

I'm always impressed with these people who bitch and moan that the government is too inept. They scream: "don't touch my guns!" and "the government can't tell me what I can and cannot say." But when two men or two women try to tie the not they run crying like toddlers who don't want to share their toys: "make 'em stop! make 'em stop!"

Who loves the feds now, bitch?

Anyway, that's my little rant. Hope you liked it. Enjoy the rest of your day.

musical treats

I present to you a quick mix of Public Enemy's Bring tha Noise that will push you to the brink of shear 'eargasm.'

Then follow that up with something completely different: the inimitable Cornmo with (I am not your) Gary Busey Boy.

Don't thank me. Thank music.

fly away

I got my itenerary for my week-long teacher's training conference in New Orleans.

Crap.

Why can't it be in Boston or Albany or DC -- someplace driveable?

While I've gotten a bit calmer over the years about flying, I still can't help the overwhelming feeling of dread that nearly cripples me the two days prior to departure.

I know that I blog about this every time I fly, but man there just ain't enough liquor to keep the phobia down. So, if you would like to donate to my Tranquilizer Fund I accept PayPal.

I'll leave you in my will.
