Long Time . . .

So it’s been a while since I posted anything of merit on here. I’d apologize, but it’s not like I’ve been absent. The blog seems to have all but gone the way of the dinosaur. Facebook is such a tramp.

Anyhow, I’m going to leave this page up, at least for now, but don’t expect much new info here. I know some folks use it to get to the pictures and what not, so it won’t be going anytime soon. But if you truly want to say hi, find me elsewhere.

THE HOLIDAYS

The holidays are coming up fast. It’s already November. You know what that means . . .

It’s time for Jeremy to remind everyone about Toys for Tots and Adopt A Platoon. I’ve supported both for years and have nothing but good things to say about both operations. There’s nothing better than knowing you put a smile on a kid’s face at Christmas, so drop a new, unwrapped toy at your local Publix or a variety of other places. It’s pretty much the easiest thing you can do and you’ll feel good just doing it.

Also, don’t forget our service men and women over seas. I don’t care what your political beliefs are. These men and women volunteered to defend you under the harshest circumstances and even if you don’t agree with why they’re there, you’d better be happy they made that choice. It’s hard on our armed forces every day, but it’s especially hard during the holidays. The care packages our donations create are very appreciated and it’s the least we can do. All we have to do is sign a check and drop it in the mail. The good folks at Adopt A Platoon do the rest of the work and the soldiers get a reminder that we care.

So there you have it. Two of the easiest things you can do to help someone else during the holidays.

Visit Toys for Tots and Adopt A Platoon for more info.

1 WEEK LEFT

I sincerely hope this country gets its huge head out of its gargantuan ass before it’s too late.

The economy is in the shitter and one of our presidential candidates is spending millions on a 30 minute block of prime time television space. Are you serious? I don’t care what side of the fence you sit on. Everyone should be pissed about that kind of ridiculous spending.

I wonder how loose he’ll be with taxpayer dollars if he actually makes it to office? Maybe we’ll get 30 minute blocks of prime time on a regular basis. A little government sponsored, taxpayer funded re-educational TV.

Lord help us all.

Go Saxby!

Holy crap! Did I just say, “Go Saxby!”? I did.

Why the hell would I do that? Good question.

I’m friggin’ amazed that I just saw the FairTax trotted out in a political ad on the ol’ boob tube and it wasn’t talking smack about it. Saxby actually bitch slapped Jim Martin by promoting the FairTax on TV, so . . . Go Saxby!

Worth a Watch

This video, while pretty low on the editing spectrum and musical choices, actually makes some good points. And while you’re at it, don’t forget to push the FairTax, which is not currently supported by either major party ticket! Look around your hometown and see the need for yourself. Email your state reps and help push real economic reform. You can find your reps on the FairTax site.

1980 WHAT?

Way to go SanDisk. You’ve done a grand job reinventing the wheel, trying to bring clutter back into my life. Why would I continue downloading songs and storing every single one of them on a single device when I could go back to different discs, or tapes or whatever you want to call them, strewn all about my car? Are you serious?

Cd’s are all but dead. Why would sd cards sell any better? What, because I can cram it in my phone? It’s still another useless piece of plastic I have to tote around. Or do the suits at SanDisk actually listen to a single album over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over . . . and over.

Actually, now that I think about it. The Southeast is running out of gas. The country is running out of water. The Russians are actually performing military maneuvers in our backyard. SanDisk’s new cd’s are the least of our issues. What in THE hell is going on around here?

PRICE HIKE

So here’s a question. With all the recent gasoline price ping pong . . . Are hurricanes a recent phenomena?

They must be, because I don’t recall gas prices going up $0.40 before, during, or after severe weather in the 80’s or 90’s. So hurricanes must be a new event. That’s what they claim is the reason for all the crazy gas prices, yet the prices didn’t fluctuate like this a decade ago. I’d have a lot more respect for the profit gas companies were making if they would just be honest about the pricing. The price goes up, because they know we have to pay for it. Then, when people get really, really pissed it goes down a little to appease us. Then, after we’ve enjoyed a tiny break in the ass raping at the pump, they jack it back up again. I hate being forced into participating in this charade.

Where is my electric car Nissan? Let’s step it up a bit.

BREAKING NEWS

I just heard this breaking news . . .

Apparently, the City of Atlanta has recognized the problem of panhandling. Now, with budget cutbacks, they’re asking citizens to help crackdown by not giving money to these guys. The city would like us to believe that these panhandlers are, get this, not actually in need of assistance. Can you believe that? The city thinks the majority of its panhandlers are common criminals or con men. Really? Are you for serious? They’re not actually homeless guys looking for spare change? Are you telling me they’re taking advantage of the kindness of others for personal gain? That’s crazy!

The city would even have us believe that most of us give change to these guys just to make them go away. Really!!?!?! That’s crazy talk!

So now the big plan is to enlist the citizens of Atlanta to NOT GIVE YOUR MONEY TO THESE BUMS! Genius idea local government. Genius.

How about you find a real chairty to help rather than willingly hand over your hard earned moeny to these toolboxes. Maybe you could help Davis go to China!

SAMPLE

The next most over used audio sample in DJ history was just created. The crazy scientist on Fringe just mumbled, “Now, let’s go make some LSD.” That’s going to be in every club in the world before long. If nothing else, Lords of Acid will surely pick it up. Hahaha
