Champagne From a Paper Cup

Now, excuse me while I try to kill myself by inserting needles through my eyeballs.
Mother coached children to fake retardation

Like Any Parasite

I'm a sucker for the show HEROES, 15 minutes before it starts on Mondays night, I unplug the phone, sit comfortably under a blanket...Humm yeah, call me pathetic, but I like my TV time. Speaking of pathetic is HOUSE coming back on the air or what? what the hell is up with the show? Hugh Laurie won a Golden Globe award Yay! but show us a freakin new episode already!.. ok, I'll stop ranting. Let's get back to HEROES, here's a 1 Minute Scene from next episode (Episode 18:“Like Any Parasite”)..Masi Oka is hilarious…

Overheard on the Blue Line

Today I overheard two kids talking about nerdy computer stuff, I didn't get everything they were saying. Anyway the funny part was when one said "But don't post it on Wikipedia cos' people can change it" then he saw me looking at him and he made his voice all hushed and conspiratorial. I love it when dudes are talking computers and they look at me like I don't know anything then I join in on the conversation and correct everything they said. Option number 1: they die of boners on the spot or Option number 2: they get extremely defensive and competitive and repeat everything I said but re-word it then I'm like we are arguing the same side of the fence the only difference is you will never get a girlfriend...

At Home With The Legends


Yesterday I had a date with amazing friends for P's almost 30th b-day. We had a great time although half of the person present were sick and on meds, including me. The place, The House of Jazz was meticulously chosen by the birthday girl, and I have to say, I liked the ambiance, the drinks were expensive and the food was, for lack of better words, bland. I had a dried piece of chicken with blah coleslaw and frozen fries. But we all had a great time. Next on the list.. Karaoke, when I'll have my voice back of course.

Death Or Life We Want You


"Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear."
-Thomas Jefferson

Watching for the third time the documentary "Friends of God" by Alexandra Pelosi (who gave us 2002's Journeys With George) is inconceivable, like a friend said, "after a few times I've seen it enough. It's like getting that taste of vomit in the back of your throat" and I can't help but entirely agree with him. Friends of God sets us into the mad delusions and tortured psychologies of the popular fundamentalist Christian movement. Many of these evangelical organizations focus on children. They are openly targetting children and young people, teaching them that creationism is the ‘truth’ and that evolution is evil (I could write an entire book on that subject alone, that's how angry I am). Plus, a whole slew of rock concerts, summer camps, wrestling organizations and other things targetting teens. The kids appeared as automatons, unable or unwilling to question the pronouncements of their leaders. It made my skin crawl. Pelosi also aknowledge the fall from grace of Rev. Ted Haggard, the former president of the 30-million-strong National Association of Evangelicals, resigned in a scandal over his relationship with a male prostitute and buying illegal drugs. I almost fainted when that lying smirking face told Pelosi “You know all the surveys say that evangelicals have the best sex life of any other group,” and then Haggard coaxes a member of his congregation to say how often he has sex with his wife, “Every day. Twice a day.” and how often she climaxes, “Every time”.
Humm yeah.. right! cough* sheisfakingasshole*cough.

The Christian movement portraied in Friends of God is like a train wreck, It’s horrible. You know it’s going to be horrible. But you just can’t turn away, and you can't stop it.. that's the worst part.

If you're not able to see it you can listen to it instead. You lose some of the experience not having the visuals of the video part but if you want the weird experience of feeling like laughing and crying at the same time give a listen, it's about 55 mins long...

Going home after too many glasses of wine.
Overtime again, but in the state i'm in I don't really care.
Going home to an e m p t y home with deaf walls.
Only the TV set is looking back at me, reflecting my b l o o d s h o t e y e s,
satisfied by the z o m b i f i e d look on my face.

E x i t i n g ...

Wait for me, i'm coming home.

Friend and Foe


Sometimes I'm astounded by humans. Not by their original and innovative ideas, with those i'm more intrigued, impressed. But what I'm astounded by is the genuinely mean nature of some people. I don't know how many times in my life I will have to learn the lesson that most people you meet have their best interest in mind and will throw you under a bus if it helps them get ahead, I'm still amazed by it.

On a lighter note, I want a new haircut..er..I NEED a new haircut. My montly Rendez-vous is this thursday (Feb.8) and I need a change. Any suggestions?
