dazzler

met some nice folks tho they ai'nt got no corn squeezins

 

 

That needs to be a song, Loucious.

I'll toke to that!

I'm drunk and very stoned, It's been a hard week (shit, year), but we're all alive.

I'm on vacation. We're going camping here.

Our first foray into camping with our kids.

I'm sure I'll need a little bud around the campfire after the children are fast asleep.

I watched Clerks 2 last night. Absolutely met my expectations (none). Loved the Blues Bros. homage and Jays Silence of the Lambs tuck. And Rosario Dawson - HOTTTTTTTTT!!!! I'd paint her toenails.

Gargh! My school newspaper has a deal with Warner Bros. to receive free tickets for promotional purposes. The first movie we were gonna get tickets for was this one and I totally raised my hand before that other girl, but the arts editor gave them to her! She didn't even know what it was about!

Sounds like she needs a discrete karate chop to the neck on the way out of class!!! :icon_sam:

I agree on the imax; that way I can absorb more testosterone.

Spooge away Trace!!! :D

Dig the defstar dude. You and the boy do good work.

Worst marketing ever: Cool Colt. Menthol Colt 45. It's like they consulted Chapelle's Do You Know Black People and decided African -Americans like menthol cigarettes and malt liquor- why not combine the two. Or two great tastes, taste great together. Bloody awful beer anyway you cut it. The kind of stuff you dare someone to drink.

Good beer at the wife's office party. New Holland Mad Hatter, Sam Adams Boston Lager, Newcastle Brown, Tecate Lager, Pabst Blue Ribbon (Fuck Heineken). Had me a few especially those Mad Hatters.

Even if V seems mediocre at first glance, it just cant be worse than Daredevil. What can?

 

...

 

I actually liked Daredevil...

Daredevil was way less cool than it could have been. Oh course, I had high hopes and they were dashed. Maybe that's why I'm bitter. That said, If they made another one I would still see it.

I rented the DVD the other day to see if I could find some redeeming quality to this film. I couldn't. It's CRAP. Maybe worse than Daredevil.

I don't think there's any way this could be as bad as Daredevil. I'm going to try to stay optimistic about this.

I think HBO is the perfect place to bring high quality graphic novels to life. That said I'm crossing my fingers, but I'm not holding my breath.

The management did that to me early on when I used an animated gif of some girl with big wobbly wobblies and mentioned dryfucking cheerleaders in my intro. I just like to know what I can and can't get away with... ;)

Obviously dryfucking cheerleaders is out.

I read a short story by Dennis Lehane in some anthology and was hooked. This month I've read:

Sacred

A Drink Before The War

Darkness Take My Hand - all three page turners with great detail and hard boiled action

Shutter Island - I think this would make a great movie in the right hands. Lots of ramped up cold war paronoia.

I've also read Blowback: the Cost and Consequences of American Empire by Chalmers Johnson

Which led me to my local library to read up on the Korean conflict. Everything on Korea was either in the juvenille section, a cookbook, or a travel guide. And this is a library with five branches. I did find one book in the travel section that looks promising:

The Scariest Place in the World: a Marine Returns to North Korea by James Brady

He gets some serious props from the NYTimes, Vonnegut, Dan Rather, and Walter Cronkite. We'll see.

You guys are getting me jonesing for some PK Dick. I check my local used bookshop a couple of times a month. I guess I'll have to break down and buy some new.

Now chosen sterilization or vasectomy (AKA the big snip) that is a whole nother ball game. I just went through that and it hurts like a constant kick in the balls that lasts a week long. :D Cicumscised uncircumscised. we all know that pain.

Funny, my V didn't feel like that. Felt like I had a constant stabbing pain in my balls :D Seriously, it was not a big issue at all--I went to a conference less than a week later. Just wear loose pants and get a jock. Mind, my uro did manage to nick one of my testicular nerves, and almost wound up with my knee in his face for his efforts, but he was too quick. Bugger.

Ouch, I think all the guys reading that flinched.

I'm an arborist, so I do a lot of lifting, dragging, and climbing. My guys were very kind to me this past week and basically let me lean on a rake and do the foreman bit. I will never take my balls for granted again!!!

My uro's first words to me, "Lie back and lets see how you did with that shave job."

I guess that's a whole new poll: Who Shaves Their Balls?

a) Hairy as my neandrathal ancestors.

b) Smoov baby!!!

c) Thank goodness I don't have any balls. They simply look ridiculous.

d) I don't remember. My wife keeps them safe for me in her purse.

What I want to know is where all these foreskins from the US go.

 

Bible, anyone? :D

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

 

Actually, did you hear about that Russian kid with no eyelids?

 

Seriously! This little baby was born with no eyelids in some village in Russia. I can't remember tha name of it...anyway, without eyelids, your eyes would dry out, and you would eventually go blind. So the doctors...and I think tthis is pretty clever, myself, actually created new eyelids for him out of his fucking foreskin! They work fine, but there is one little problem. Now he's cock-eyed!

COCK-EYED HaaaaHaaaaHaaaa!!!

I'm wit Charlie on this one. I have two boys done up just like dad. I gave it some thought beforehand and the effort to explain why their johnson doesn't look like dad's johnson cancelled out any thoughts as to their future sexual pleasure. Lame? Maybe, but you have so many other important things going on with the birth of an healthy child (god forbid complications) that circumcision seems like a snip in the bucket.

Now chosen sterilization or vasectomy (AKA the big snip) that is a whole nother ball game. I just went through that and it hurts like a constant kick in the balls that lasts a week long. :D Cicumscised uncircumscised. we all know that pain.

So he finally finished the fucking thing? I guess I better get to the comic shop!!!

Hey Jay I see your a big fan of your public library too.

My list:

Rabbit Fur Coat

Bob - Blood On The Tracks

A Maria Mckee album

A live Neko Case album

Some Mathew Sweet/chick from the Bangles cover album

Kings of Leon - Youth and Young Manhood

All thanks to the Grosse Pointe public library system.

I grabbed Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins - Rabbit Fur Coat while I was at the library the other day. I've seen her name around but didn't know a thing about her. I love the album though. It sounds like it comes from a different era.

 

 

Yes! This album is almost constantly on my MP3 player...I just took it off 2 days ago to put on Sleater-Kinney, but I'm sure Ms. Lewis will be back soon...

 

My favorite songs are Rise Up With Fists!, Happy, and Born Secular. The song Rabbit Fur Coat is great , too.

Yeah I'm not so good with names, but about the first four tracks are killer. Run, Devil Run into that second song is a great one-two punch. And I love Happy. It's been in my dreams the past couple of nights. It was a pretty fuckin cool soundtrack.

Kind and white Rhone wine is the poison tonite. A sassy blend of Viognier and Marsanne. Oh, and some Frommage D'Afinois. It was the shit!

Holy plastic phallus, JasonT, you're right!

 

The Demon - rip yo ass up!

Superman - for the demanding lover

the Phantom Stranger - sit on your off-hand til it falls asleep and pretend it's someone else!

Swamp Thing - uh...what?

The Phantom Stranger HAAAAAAAAAA!!!

I just got me a satchel and the family is out of town.....

Yeah. I had to buy a Palace just to store them all.

Would that be in Auburn Hills?

Love that Frank the Bunny, Spidey. I stay away from the toys though. I've been to Lou's house and I don't have enough space to house that kind of addiction.

Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head

And as I climb into an empty bed

Oh well. Enough said.

I know it's over - still I cling

I don't know where else I can go

Oh ...

Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head

See, the sea wants to take me

The knife wants to slit me

Do you think you can help me ?

Sad veiled bride, please be happy

Handsome groom, give her room

Loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly

(Though she needs you

More than she loves you)

And I know it's over - still I cling

I don't know where else I can go

Over and over and over and over

Over and over, la ...

I know it's over

And it never really began

But in my heart it was so real

And you even spoke to me, and said :

"If you're so funny

Then why are you on your own tonight ?

And if you're so clever

Then why are you on your own tonight ?

If you're so very entertaining

Then why are you on your own tonight ?

If you're so very good-looking

Why do you sleep alone tonight ?

I know ...

'Cause tonight is just like any other night

That's why you're on your own tonight

With your triumphs and your charms

While they're in each other's arms..."

It's so easy to laugh

It's so easy to hate

It takes strength to be gentle and kind

Over, over, over, over

It's so easy to laugh

It's so easy to hate

It takes guts to be gentle and kind

Over, over

Love is Natural and Real

But not for you, my love

Not tonight, my love

Love is Natural and Real

But not for such as you and I, my love

Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head

Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head

Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head

Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my ...

Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head

Oh Mother, I can even feel the soil falling over my head

Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head

Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my ...

Dude, I can't even read that without busting out into a loud faux-Moz voice.

Mutha, I can feel the soil fahling ooover my head. At least until the wife throws something at me.

The cash machine is blue and green

For a hundred in twenties and a small service fee

I could spend three dollars and sixty-three cents

On Diet Coca-Cola and unlit cigarettes

I wonder why we listen to poets

When nobody gives a fuck

How hot and sorrowful

This machine begs for luck

All my lies are always wishes

I know I would die if I could come back new

I want a good life

With a nose for things

A fresh wind and bright sky

To enjoy my suffering

A hole without a key

If I break my tongue

Speaking of tomorrow

How will it ever come?

All my lies are always wishes

I know I would die if I could come back new

I'm down on my hands and knees

Every time the doorbell rings

I shake like a toothache

When I hear myself sing

All my lies are only wishes

I know I would die if I could come back new

I would like to salute

The ashes of American flags

And all the fallen leaves

Filling up shopping bags

(Perhaps a Moulin Rogue approach would work, though: "You can tell by the way I stalk, I'm a dancing Wraith, no time to talk...")

HAAAA!!!

Anybody going to see Drawing Restraint 9 the new Mathew Barney/ Bjork collaboration?drawing resraint 9

It was playing at the Detroit Institute of Arts Film Theatre Friday and Saturday but I had family plans, so I missed it. I've seen Barney's Cremaster Cycle Cremaster Cycle and it was one of the oddest, most beautiful/ repulsive, perplexing, sensuous, intriguing pieces of art I've seen. It was probably the closest I've felt to being really really stoned without actually being stoned.
