The GOP Needs a New Message

I used to be a political junkie. I remember when Clinton (Bill) was running for President in '91. I'd tune in to all the political shows every night before bed, especially CNN and C-SPAN. I couldn't get enough of the news from the campaign trail, debates, speeches, you name it. Maybe it was the excitement of my first Presidential vote or my naivety in thinking one person could change the country but I couldn't get enough of politics! I continued to follow politics throughout the years even during some (for me) very depressing times: the Contract with America, the Gore defeat of 2000, the re-election of GW Bush. This year I find myself not giving two shakes of a dead rats ass about the process. I'm probably not informed as I used to be simply because I don't have cable. The news I get now is what I can catch at my parents house, online, or from the Daily Fish Wrap (The Daily Oklahoman). I guess what drove home my increased apathy for our political process was the recent GOP debate in Florida. It's been years since I watched a Presidential debate either Republican or Democrat (and I couldn't stomach to watch all of it). What I watched could've been viewed during the '88 election, the '92 election or any other year! We need change. Change? Really? The party who controlled the White House and Congress for most of the last 16 years wants change? Um OK, whatever... a new direction or leadership from conservatives, I guess I can swallow that even if their 71 year old front runner isn't very fresh. What really irked me was the same old rhetoric I'd heard from years before! We need tax cuts. Tax cuts for the middle class, tax cuts for small business, tax cuts across the board! Wow. And the other side? Tax and spend liberals. Tax and spend liberals. Tax and spend liberals. I can't believe they're still beating this dead horse of an argument. Of course other issues were discussed but it always made its way back to tax cuts and staying the course with the war. I can't believe anyone would have the balls to utter the words "sustain the war" and "tax cuts" in the same breath. They're getting away with it! This is the only time in American history where we've lowered taxes while we're waging war! I'm all for lowering taxes (really, who isn't) but isn't a war a time for a country to sacrifice? To pull together and get the job done no matter the costs? Perhaps if the new Democratic Congress had kept their promise to start bringing troops home we could afford to spread a little money around. Ah well that's a blog for another day. I'll hold my nose and vote on Super Tuesday but I think I'll ignore the coverage until then. What do you think?

Shiny Toy Guns

I saw this performance in December with Crystal and Lindsey as well as others... man I really miss hanging with those girls!

Oh L'amour

BLEH!

So fucking bored! My schedule of late has me closing a lot of shifts. When I get off work there's absolutely NOTHING to do. I got off work after the Saturday night shift at 2:30 in the morning. Anyone out there have any suggestions on late night entertainment? My routine as of late is to flop down at the computer, listen to some tunes, and drink a couple of beers... livin' the dream!



Maybe I should go back to serving/bartending; less hours and more money. The picture is from Mother's day last year (2006). I had a five alarm hang over while working the "busiest" day of the year! Eww it appears as though dad is drinking Beringer's White Zin... America's number one wine. What does this tell us about ourselves (as Americans)?

Be Yourself, Don't Hide

Don't be afraid to be weak
Don't be too proud to be strong
Just look into your heart my friend
That will be the return to yourself
The return to innocence
If you want, then start to laugh
If you must, then start to cry
Be yourself don't hide
Just believe in destiny
Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence

RIP Jake

I got word from Doug that Jake passed away on the 6th of June. For those who don't know, Jake was the bassett hound we had a lifetime ago when we lived together in Enid and eventually in Edmond and Oklahoma City. While living in Enid we were visiting Oklahoma City and made the impulse purchase of Jake at a local pet store (not too long after the untimely demise of Sam I, our first beagle). He was a tri-colored basset hound (mostly black and white) with giant feet and ears that hung well to the ground. Not 24 hours after getting him home he became deathly ill and had to spend a couple days with the vet (puppy mill fever I think). After that the grumpy turd went on to live more than a decade! I'm not sure what makes me more sad, Jake's demise or the fact that my world and everything in it has changes so much in the last few years. Anyhoo Jake was a good dog that I loved as much as anything in this world and I'm terribly saddened by the news and maybe more saddened that I didn't take the time to see him the last couple of years (he stayed with Doug since I didn't have a place for him living in an apartment). From what Doug tells me Sam II the beagle (Jake's buddy and nemesis) continues to do well in his aging years. I really need to pay him a visit...

Alive and kicking!

The rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. Just working a lot. My next day off is the 30th. Peace out!

Easy one, I suppose...

The poets sing how Pancho fell, Lefty's livin' in a cheap hotel
The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold and so the story ends, we're told
Pancho needs your prayers, it's true but save a few for Lefty too
He only did what he had to do and now he's growin' old.

What did all the federales say?

Bruce 1; World Wide Web 0

Just try to see in the dark
Just try to make it work
To feel the fear before you're here
I make the shapes come much too close
I pull my eyes out
Hold my breath
And wait until I shake
But if I had your faith
Then I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure
That my head on the door was a dream

Ok smarty pants, who sang the above lyrics?

Hmmmmm...

You can look at the menu,
but you just can't eat.
You can feel the cushions,
but you can't have a seat.
You can dip your foot in the pool,
but you can't have a swim.
You can feel the punishment,
but you can't commit the sin.

Who sings this song?

Here (In Your Arms)

I like where you sleep
When you sleep, next to me
I like where you sleep... here

Cause our lips, can touch
And our cheeks, can brush
Our lips can touch here

Well you are the one the one that lies close to me
Whisper's hello I miss you quite terribly
I fell in love, in love with you suddenly
Now there's no place else I could be but here in your arms
