thurs/fri.
long day and pms was taking its toll do you ever suppose it will be o.k. at the work place to tell a customer/patron... "get the fuck away from me" i'm thinking the answer is no. thats a shame- cuz i came pretty close today and i realize it wasn't them it was my hormonal horseshit. oh well know the problem... deal with the problem. outside of emotional crap the day was actually pretty good. - good think i like my job because if i didn't it could be a whole "falling down" episode and that wouldn't end well for anyone.
i was just watching a show about the roman military which was good however flipping around i found a show on mtv called "date my mom" in which moms go on dates with skeeeeevy losers to pimp out their kids (disturbing enough) but this mom of a gay son was telling the potential date about how big her kids penieee was and wished them great sex... my stomach was churning almost to the point of vomiting. what the fuck is wrong with people... ick....
--- something has been digging up the grass in the yard.. pb and i were pontificating if it was a skunk or the oppossum -- well tonight on the porch the answer was apparent as the skunk walked all around the porch oblivious to my presence until i unleashed the funkadelic "we want the skunk, give up the skunk... " on him.. he turned and went into the bushes... he was really cute... different markings then your typical pepe' le pu cartoon skunk. i like him.
oh well of course on to friday. praise g. i do have to work a short shift at the berry saturday booooooooooooooooooooooooooo then f.d wanted me to bartend sunday for the browns game from 11-8 - two words for that shift.. NO fucking WAY!!! i told him i'd take 11-5 but if he had some sucka who'd do the whole thing.. let em have it. i'm pumped--- i guess dumpy (big ups to dumpy) is stocked with super prime cavs tickets and seeing as i prefer to work cavs games these days.. (much much shorter shifts.... much much more mellow crowd-plus throw in getting to kill time by going to games now and then) awesome.
later gators.
me

wednesday
today is a great day..... its like in the movie the killing fields when the prisoners are forced to hear propaganda where the camare rouge (spelling sorry) are telling them " IT IS NOW THE YEAR ZERO... EVERYTHING THAT CAME BEFORE NO LONGER EXISTS" yeah its kinda like that but without the fear that anyone is going to drag me from my grass hut and take me to a shallow river and put a bag over my head and suffocate me or shoot me. its the good year zero.
happy happy happy.
so the meat guy at my heinens is good lookin - go check him out ... tall, built guy, older, balding, grayish hair.... soooo cute. i didn't check to see if he still has all is fingers.. hazzard of the trade. married i'm sure but if your in the neighborhood go look at him.
other then that...not much new.
a former student/friend of mine who did my portrait (super talented artist) which i have in mine house.. i just found out her brother died... he was 26 i think - heroine overdose... i met him a coupla times nice good looking kid... but evidentally a mess from drugs. sad sad sad. i'm sad for her family who i'm sure through most of his post teen / adult years had to brace themselves for this moment. shit.
oh well onward to the end of the week.
yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
see ya.
me
ps: the other night i got up to go to the restroom and slipped on a throw pillow on the floor and fell down and hit my bed frame.. i have a bruise on the back of my leg that is the size of at least 2 fists and is black as pitch. jesus..i'm thinking at this rate i should get a med-alert bracelet just in case.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 

thank you b.g. for this: gee i wonder what other countries think of us?
WORLD Press dismay at Katrina chaos from BBCLarge amounts of aid are now beginning to arrive in New OrleansNewspapers around the world see Hurricane Katrina's chaotic aftermath as a defining moment for the presidency of George W Bush.While there is clear sympathy for the disaster's victims, many commentators place the blame for the delayed rescue effort squarely on Mr Bush's administration.
Mexico's El Universal
The slowness with which the USA's federal emergency services have joined the rescue operation has already generated great political tension... There is no doubt that the lack of well-timed responses to assist the population will have political costs for President Bush's Republican Party in the next federal elections.
Colombia's El Colombiano It is now urgent that the world's leaders take heed of nature's warning, look at the evidence and realise that the climate, on a global scale, is changing. This is already known from scientific reports, but they continue to ignore it, to play it down, or not to care about it.
Argentina's Clarin Katrina had more than the power of the wind and water, because, now, when they have subsided, it can still reveal the emptiness of an era, one that is represented by President George W Bush more than anyone.
Spain's El Pais Up until Monday, Bush was the president of the war in Iraq and 9/11. Today there are few doubts that he will also pass into history as the president who didn't know how to prevent the destruction of New Orleans and who abandoned its inhabitants to their fate for days. And the worst is yet to come.
Spain's La Razon Proving that even the gods are mortal, it is clear that the USA's international image is being damaged in a way that it has never known before. The country will probably be able to recuperate from the destruction, but its pride has already been profoundly wounded.
France's LiberationBush had already been slow to react when the World Trade Center collapsed. Four years later, he was no quicker to get the measure of Katrina - a cruel lack of leadership at a time when this second major shock for 21st century America is adding to the crisis of confidence for the world's leading power and to international disorder. As happened with 9/11, the country is displaying its vulnerability to the eyes of the world.
France's Le Progres
Katrina has shown that the emperor has no clothes. The world's superpower is powerless when confronted with nature's fury.
Switzerland's Le Temps The sea walls would not have burst in New Orleans if the funds meant for strengthening them had not been cut to help the war effort in Iraq and the war on terror... And rescue work would have been more effective if a section of National Guard from the areas affected had not been sent to Baghdad and Kabul... And would George Bush have left his holiday ranch more quickly if the disaster had not first struck the most disadvantaged populations of the black south?
Ireland's The Irish Times This is a defining moment for Mr Bush, just as much as 9/11 was. So far his reputation for prompt and firm crisis management has fallen far short of what is required.
Saudi Arabia's Saudi Gazette The episode illustrates that when the normal day-to-day activity of society disintegrates, the collapse of civilisation is only a few paces behind. We all walk on the edge of the abyss.
Musib Na'imi in Iran's Al-Vefagh About 10,000 US National Guard troops were deployed [in New Orleans] and were granted the authority to fire at and kill whom they wanted, upon the pretext of restoring order. This decision is an indication of the US administration's militarist mentality, which regards killing as the only way to control even its own citizens.
Samih Sa'ab in Lebanon's Al-Nahar The destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina... has proved that even the No 1 superpower in the world is helpless in facing nature's 'terrorism'.
Pakistan's The Nation To augment the tragedy, the government of the world's richest nation defied the general expectation that at the first sign of the storm it would muster an armada of ships, boats and helicopters for the rescue operation. For nearly three days it sat smugly apathetic to the people's plight, their need for food, medicine and other basic necessities.
Hong Kong's Wen Wei Po This disaster is a heavy blow to the United States, and a lesson which deserves deep thought... [It] is a warning to the Bush administration that the United States must clear its head and truly assume its responsibility to protect nature and the environment in which humankind lives.
Hong Kong's South China Morning Post Even if our money may not be needed, at the least we should be offering moral support. Our skills in dealing with storms may be useful to help Americans prevent other such tragedies. We should be offering this help rather than shrugging off what should be our humanitarian duty.
Ambrose Murunga in Kenya's Daily NationMy first reaction when television images of the survivors of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans came through the channels was that the producers must be showing the wrong clip. The images, and even the disproportionately high number of visibly impoverished blacks among the refugees, could easily have been a re-enactment of a scene from the pigeonholed African continent.
