Sigh, happy thanksgiving i guess

I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving with a little bit of a heavy heart. Grandma was admitted to the hospital Friday night from what ended up beeing "bleeding in the brain". Now I'm no doctor but bleeding in the brain can't be good. So while that was fucked up we were kind of led to believe that she would be ok. However last night she took a turn for the worse as now she is slurring her speech, having flashbacks and not recognizing who any of us are. It's quite sad as she has been somewhat of a matriach rock of our family. She's south of 80 years old, still cooked and cleaned like a middle aged housewife and was alert, normal, perfectly fine until this. Now she's a brain damaged old lady and that's not fucking cool. Not cool at all. I'm quite upset over it.

If there is a chance she can rehabilitate the injury and end up being ok I have yet to hear that prognosis yet. This is my hope, all of our hopes. Before going to my in-laws I will stop by the hospital to spend the morning with her. Hopefully she remembers me.


*Thanks in advance for any well-wishes in the comment section*

Winter Scarving

This is for men who wear a winter scarf like this picture. If I see you on the street rocking this look I will punch you in the fleshy patch that used to be your balls. And furthermore if your a man and you need a scarf, they only come in Navy Blue, Black, Gray/Grey or Brown. No Marigold or Deep Red or fucking Baby Blue. Stop adding to this crazy homosexuality thing.

As always, the lesson is, Cash is King.

Yeah so I write now.

I'm writing a novel/screenplay/movie/Oscar/pay me. Here is an excerpt.

Zack was pissed. Not only did he lose his job over this but he also lost the trust of Jessica. The stress was almost too much. 3 days later, unshaven and miserable, Zack got a house call from Det. Wilson. He was looking for some information on the whereabouts of Timmy. "Did ya call his sister?" asked Zach. "Yes" replied Det. Wilson, "she said the last time she spoke to him he was with you" (looking down at pile of dirty clothes). Zach sat quiet for a moment. "Um, yeah, we hung out right before I was let go". "Let go", said the Detective. "Yeah" replied Zach, I was fired. "What for?" asked Det. Wilson.

That is all. I've been reading up on how to write screenplays and stuff so i figured i'd give it a whirl. The title of this piece would be Game Over (title still in works). I haven't fully worked out the plot out yet, well i have but i haven't decided on the subplots. I'll put it that way. I might make a subplot the main plot and vice versa. In short here it is.

"Zach Tyler works for EVG, Electronic Video Gaming, a company that designs and manufactures video games. It is a leader in it’s field, very successful. Zach is pretty much the go to guy in the company. He’s created three top sellers for the company and is in development for another. The name of this game is Hunted. The game is about revenge and murder. Zach delvs deeply into the psychology of this game and ultimately it consumes him. A string of murders rock Carson City, NV and unebeknowst to Zach’s family and friends, he is the guy that’s committing these murders. The development of these games he’s created, as well as games in the past have caused Zach to act out the game’s plots, all of which are causing loss of life. Connecting the dots will take Det. Wilson through the world of violent video gaming."

Recycle, Abortion

Little chinese woman constantly rummaging through recycle garbage cans all over Brooklyn. Not like I care but they are impressive little workers. I mean some of them carry like 80 pounds of cans and bottles on one broomstick. I can't imagine they make more than $50 a week doing this but hey it's your party.

Crowded. Everyday. Crowded. Not pictured are two wiseass little boys seated on the bench to my right. Thank you for having those wonderful boys Ms. Mexican

Muzak

The Foo Fighters rocked my balls off this morning. I slept on them for quite awhile. That's a good band. You know, I have a ton of music that I listen to but I don't really have a favorite band. I mean I guess if you asked me that question I would answer the Red Hot Chili Peppers but it's not like I go apeshit over them or drool over album art like some dorks. Alot of people I know whether it be on the blog network or socially all of them have a favorite band. This guy Los is a huge rolling stones fan, I don't exactly get it but I don't have to. His taste. My sister in-law has a serious crush on Linkin Park maybe because she wants to bed lead the singer but that it's still her favorite band. My father and uncle were huge Pink Floyd fans. Another uncle is a severe dead-head. Cousin loves Rise Against. I can go on and on here. The point is I never really plegded an allegiance to any band. For me, I just enjoy music. If you make good music, I will listen to you. Just to name a few from my library.

I don't mind U2, I don't seek it out...the only steady U2 song I listen to is Beautiful Day. It keeps me from stabbing fellow straphangers.

Colplay. Eh. Maybe a song or two strikes me as listenable. Some of thier shit makes me want to kill myself.

Nirvana, not current I know but fucking solid shit right there.

Pearl Jam, never really developed a ear for them.

Green Day, punk rock, I can stomach them for a little while. Gets a little tired sometimes.

Listen I can't list every band in the world. You get my drift. I haven't found a complete band. Even Red Hot Chili Peppers makes a bum song that you scratch your head. Overall their shit is solid though. I'm kind of glad I don't have a favorite anyway. Keeps me open-minded to everyone else's shit and doesn't allow me to compare this one to that one and so on. It's so hard keeping up to new music anyway. We probably haven't even digested the older new stuff let alone the new new stuff. Especially with all these new dramatic bands like from Europe. Irish band and Snow Patrol and other U.K shit. I, so far, haven't minded their invasion.

Russell Stovers

No more political posts for awhile. Maybe some snide comments but nothing like the past two posts. I did my job I'd do it again. In the end I hope I'm dead wrong about Obama.

LOUD NOISES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ever on the receiving end of a voice from hell? This women's voice is just awful, loud and squeaky. A cross between Roseanne Barr and Fran Drescher.

Old guy on elevator this morning. Mind you it's 7:45 and I haven't yet eaten any food.

Old Guy (semi jogging/limping towards elevator) : Hold that please, hold that elevator!

Me : (Hitting door close button repeatedly) : Door open button is not working...(doors closing I just look away then laugh once the door's close and I'm alone).

The threat of hell doesnt bother me on bit. For all I know this is hell.

One of the ugliest woman in the world works here and harasses my boss. My god she is High Alert ugly. Fuck I feel bad for her. It's like there is no way she would ever find a mate that would even think about sharing a cab with her let alone disrobe her fat ass. And as a side note I'm 100% sure she has no mirror where she lives. All kinds of hilarity ensues from her outfits.

That's all I got. It was an exhausting week.

Be careful what you wish for.

I want to just preface this post with the following disclaimer.

I am American. I voted. My candidate lost. I will support my future president because I am not a turncoat. I do not want a civil war. I don't hate black people. I don't hate anybody except Chinese people on the N train and dirty scumbag russians who drive mercedes benze's while stealing money from the government (part of my problem with democrats). McCain ran a hell of a campaign and I am proud to say I voted for him. He is a natural patriot, a true American hero and fantastic man. I am disappointed that he loss but was amazed at the turnout and recognize the historical impact the election of 2008 had. I stressed my points about Obama the other day so you all know my issues with him, nonetheless the people have spoken and now it's time to move on and focus on the next 4 years and beyond.

But before I go.......I hope everyone who voted for Obama enjoys the next 4 years.

Enjoy the next 4 years of giving the money you earned to feed lazy people who don't feel like working.

Enjoy the Jesse Jackson's of the world and the Rev Al Sharpton's of the world deciding who's a racist or not a racist. White people unfortunately are not going to get the opportunity to criticize anything that Barack Obama does because it would be viewed as racist. Meanwhile anyone with a mouth openly bashed President Bush who not only gets a bad rap but was an above average President in these times. No republican has said Bush was great and I ain't either.

Enjoy getting taxed until your fucking eyeballs fall out.

Enjoy the national health care debacle. Free health care never works.

Enjoy the broken promises of change.

Enjoy the complete fallout from pulling out troops from Iraq pre-maturely.

Enjoy Russia doing whatever the fuck they want.

Enjoy it all! We'll talk in 2012. That's if a terrosit attack doesn't take me out on the way to work.

John McCain, 2008

I'm voting for John McCain. These are the facts.

Barack Obama and his band of democrats had a hand in this housing crisis. Democrats have fought for years to even things amongst potential homeowners. Loosening the rules, allowing candidates with sub par credit the opportunity to own a home in America. Yet all the blame gets put on the Bush. In fact it was Bush who wanted to privatize the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac coporations. Democrats laughed at him. It is the only way to protect the tax payers and the economy against the consequences of major financial difficulties of any of the three enterprises. It was the Republiclans who proposed increased oversight and regulation of Frannie and Freddie. If Obama wanted to give Low-Income families the ability to purchase a home in America he and the rest of his pigeons should take blame for that when it goes wrong instead of smearing shit on the people who believe otherwise. For years Obama worked for a "Community Organization" called ACORN. You've all heard of thier fradulent voting schemes but besides that they spent decades, DECADES pressuring banks and bank regulators to make more mortgages available to people without much credit. Most of those campaigns had heavy racial tones in them. Look it up. Fact.

Foreign policy wise this can't be a good situation. It actually makes my stomach hurt thinking about it. The inexperience of this man will be tested by the evil leaders around the world. Joe Biden even said this much about 2 weeks ago. Experience is paramount when dealing with foreign leaders. The fact that he's willing to meet, with no pre-conditions, with the likes of Hugo Chavez and that awful, awful man Ahmadinejad says it all.

Not to mention that he was born a Muslim. And while he denounces that religion and has embraced Christianity the cloud remains above his head. Middle Eastern countries cannot like the fact that he abandoned the Muslim law and it may compromise the ability of our government to safely protect our citizens abroad and here. It is completely unrealistic to think that our relations with the middle eastern countries will improve if Barack Obama was president. Israel is shitting their pants right now. And this also makes him a assassination target. Not because he is black but because he's a Muslim apostate.

He's a borderline socialist.

Patriotism. Where is it? I don't get the sense that Obama loves our country. I get that from McCain, he seems genuine. Obama to me just looks like he wants to get in the White House as quick as possible to put his policies to work. Obama has been seen (video evidence exists) not pledging his hand over his heart during the national anthem. His wife for the first time in her adult life is "proud of her country" and Obama refuses to wear an American pin on his jacket lapel. So much for American pride.

He's unaccomplished as a Senator. Plain and simple he's spent the past year of his Senate life campaigning to become president.

Tomorrow I will cast my vote for John McCain because he is the right man to lead this country. Join me. We all want change. But we want a change that points in the right direction.
