Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to make it home with a bag of Skittles and iced tea. In this case, it’s the neighborhood watchman who self destructed. BTW: I’m not saying that Tom Cruise is short in stature. However, I am guessing the camera was set on the ground to take this picture.

The entire act of wearing a “hoodie” (the first time I heard that term was from a wildly gay barista in Seattle. It sounds no less gay today even when said by the most hetero of individuals. Like me.) has been morphed into some sort of protest against racially motivated violence. Me? I wear a hoodie (gay) whenever I go to convenience stores. You know, when I buy skittles, ice tea, and assorted VHS pornography from behind the counter (what can I say, I love the look of analog. I’m a videophile, which means I molest VCRs. I think. Where’s my DSM-IV?)  I was promised a race war. You gave me a blurry security footage of a maybe/maybe not bruised Zimmerman. I was promised burning buildings, you gave me a clip of audio where Zimmerman calls the victim a racial perjurative. Or he’s complaining about the temperature. I was promised a movie called “Neighborhood Watch,” but it’s been changed to simply “The Watch.” Look, assholes. I need a trial. I need a trial that at least appears fair. I need an acquittal, and I need riots. Not in Portland, you know… elsewhere. With lots of CNN cameras. I’m not a monger of violence… there’s just nothing good on TV during the summer.

Tweet that didn’t make it…

Are Mustang GTs called five dot ohs now, or am I just missing the point?

[holy shit... "merest" is an actual word and means what I intended. All of that "Words with Friends shit is paying off.]

Yes, Ann Romney. Motherhood is hard work. I mean, the smug blogging and sanctimonious Facebook posts alone have to take hours.

Washington Post:  Hilary Rosen was right: Ann Romney has never worked a day in her life.

Caption for this photo? “Maybe God does hate gay people.”

In other news, I’ve got nothin. Birthday coming up. Oldness is not the new sexy, nor is 40 the new 30. It’s still the old 40. I remember my parents turning 40. You want to know how depressing 40 is? I’m lamenting it now and I’m only turning 38.

 That last pos…

Posted: April 5, 2012 in Uncategorized

Yeah, this is real sexy until you think about the after effects, say, three hours later.

That last post did not meet the standards of taste that I’ve tried to apply to my daily output of opinion and satire. I mean, I want to be a nice person. I read more about the guy in the picture below and felt so sad that I put my head on my desk [really happened]. I then fell asleep. Before I sleep at work, I use rubberbands to fold all my fingers except for the middle. This informs corowrkers that yes: I’m taking a nap and no: I don’t give a fuck about what they think about my work ethic. [didn't really happen]

“That’s what it really looks like, huh? Damn.” – Every guy right before they have sex for the first time.

Speaking of being nice… I thought of two bumper stickers. One got some “likes” on Facebook, the other entirely ignored. Of course, the ignored one was what I thought was hilarious.

  • Don’t like my driving? Stay out of the water! [bumper sticker for women with postpartum depression].
  • Don’t like my driving? Stay out of the Farmer’s Market! [bumper sticker for elderly drivers].

Both aren’t very timely, but still funny. The reader has to think back for a second for any sort of news reference. The postpartum depression one was ignored. I guess some things are funnier in my own head. You know that this shit just pops in. I’m not actively writing at a desk. I’m driving/jogging (mostly driving) and it just pops in there. Like something is working inside my brain independently of everything else. I’m cursed.

Salaam.

I’m listening to the new Madonna album. It angers me. It’s not really that good. I guess I have to be in the mood for it. And by “in the mood,” I mean be at the precipice of a drunken murderous rampage.

But I digress…

I think the world would be better without social media. I wish I could’ve gone through life without seeing my friends through the douche-colored glasses that is Facebook. Yet, suddenly everyone is a celebrity in their own mind. How many “candid” self-taken photos can one post? How many different ways can one fish for compliments by calling themselves fat?

Oh yeah… and everyone is suddenly socially conscious, provided they can express such with a single click. Enter this photo:

People keep sharing this on Facebook insisting that people click “like” on it. I don’t know what that accomplishes. I mean, fuck… I was going to repost it with the caption: Admiral Ackbar’s Wedding Photo.

Her face screams “It’s a trap!”

But I didn’t. Because I’m classy and sophisticated. I googled that shit and found this recent gem, which I then posted on my Facebook because there’s nothing… NOTHING I love more than pissing in people’s Cheerios. This is why I always eat breakfast alone.

Till Death, Or Disfigurement, Do We Part: Renee Kline Divorces Wounded Iraq Veteran Tyler Ziegel

Bummer. War is hell and I’m still paying a shit ton for gas every month. That guy’s face looks like the underside of my penis and I’m shelling out $60 a tank? Let’s end this stupid war [throws mouse across the room, dusts off red phone which dials straight through to a dusty red phone in Chuck Norris' office. No answer. Fuck.]

I’m coming off of the coffee… time to switch to Rock Star.

Oh… I’m pretty much over the whole Kate Upton thing.

Oh… I really dig the Mark Ronson album “Record Collection.” I’ve had it since last summer but I didn’t really listen to it that much.

goochout

 

Disappointments:

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything worthwhile, aside from a few Asian jokes accompanied by Asian softcore midget porn. I’m still active on the Twitter. Seconds after something pops into my head, it’s on the internet. Some of them I don’t even take the time to consider its appropriateness to the masses. Those, my friends, are usually the best.

I’ve remote controlled my house. I have installed six different Z-Wave devices in an effort to automate my house and remote control devices from our iPhones. Can I reach the light switch to the bedroom lights while I’m laying in bed? Yes, with a good stretch. However, it’s much geekier sexier if you can do it from an app in your iPhone. Using the same server and a third party utility (you see where this gets nerdy) software, I can use task scheduler in windows to schedule when lights come on, what percentage of brightness, what temperature should be set at a certain time. The outside lights turn on and off using geographic location (latitude and longitude) based on sunset/sunrise for this location/day. It’s a bit much for a condo of this size, but I enjoy doing this sort of thing. It is a great project; just enough learning and problem solving to keep me wildly intrigued.

I’m reading the Steve Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson. The tech history in its first act is enthralling. I’m reading the book on my Kindle while looking up different people/devices in the book on my iPhone. I’m absorbing this book. I’m fascinated not only by the technology but by the character study of Jobs himself. He’s so flawed, such an asshole yet somehow his passion and charisma helped him lead his subordinates to make “insanely great” products. And a few real shit-bombs. Oh, and I found an error on page 202.

iPad? Go ahead, get one. Ninety per cent of all buyers will be looking at low grade streaming porn through it’s high-res-as-fuck retina display. Seriously. They should make a tissue dispenser that velcroes onto the back of these things. I can’t think of any other use for an iPad. Maybe it’s just me (spoiler: it is) but I think netbooks do not get their due in terms of pragmatic value. Half the price/all of the utility. And a keyboard. And USB, ethernet, vga… all sorts o’ ports. I’m not quite ready for Apple to tell me how to do my field computing. Or to give them $800.

I’m out. Peace.
