I don't normally like writing about work. Not that I fear any consequences by doing so but because it would make for a very boring read. Sure I probably have the most important job on the eastern seaboard and without me doing what I do everyday your life would probably be a lot worse. Most of my days at work are pretty lame but there are some days that are super great. Today could have been one of those days.
Yes the best days I have at work are the days that they have Take Five Candy bars in the vending machines. Have you ever had one of those things? IF you ask me they might give peanut butter cups a run for their money as best candy snack ever invented. But me in my infinite wisdom today did not bring any change to purchase one. Why? (Well I'll get to that in a bit). Now I am scarred that tomorrow they will all be gone. There were only two left in the machine. There is a small chance that at least one will be left by time I get to work tomorrow because for some reason there is a row of snacks in the vending machine that is $1.25 instead of the ussual $1.00.
And why did I not bring any change when I ussually do. IT has to do with the fact that I brought a lunchable. And not just any luncahble but I new lunchable that I found at Shoppers yesterday. It is not new in the aspect that there is some new kind of food in the lunchable but of the actual consist. There was ham and cheese and crackers with jello, chips ahoy cookies, and water with a mix in Kool Aid thing.
The luncahble was very disapointing and even more so when I could have had a Take Five bar. The ham was a little bit wattered down. The crackers were not very crisp. The cheese seemed to be a little dry. I had no complaints with the jello and the cookies. The koolaid was better than the usual Capri Sun they used to put in the luncahble. Maybe I just got a bad lunchable and the turkey stacker I have tomorrow will be of higher quality.
I will keep you posted.

I CAn't Wait UNtil Friday to See Aliens in the Attic!
Yeah so this Aliens in the Attic movie is coming out Friday and it looks like it could be the next big thing. From the preview I saw it looked like the exact same plot as that Beethoven movie where they had to hide all of Beethoven's puppies from Charles Grodin! It looks like a winner. I predict 200 million dollars on opening day and massive sales for the XBox tie in video game!
Speaking of movies I finally got around to watching the German movie The Lives of Others. What I mean by finally seeing the Lives of Others is that by looking at my netflix page I have had this movie in my possession sine 2/10/09. It only took me something like five months to watch this movie.
Anyways I have to say that it was a pretty good flick. It took place in East Germany before the wall came down. Basically an author was put under surveillance because he was suspected of having allegiances to West Germany but the individual who is in charge of running the operation later discovers that the reason this project got the go ahead was because a minister wanted to bone his wife. I implore you to see this movie.
Whenever I watch a movie I like to read about it on various venues on the internet and I found a web page that list the 25 Best Conservative movies of all time. Its a pretty laughable list that has some real shitty movies on it but number one is The Lives of Others. The number five movie on this list is one of the worst movies I have seen the last couple years; the movie 300.
Jeez did I hate that movie. If it didn't have all of those scenes that were filmed in slow motion the movie would have been shorter than sex with me. IF you took a sip of beer every time someone declared the were from "SPARTA" you would probably be drunker than Billy Joel on his daughters sleepover night. For some reason the Persians were only interested in having crazy amputee lesbian sex. I could probably go on but I just hated how the movie romanticized the overzealous form of nationalism that was predominant in the movie and actively encouraged in a countries citizens.
Here is what this website says about this movie 300:
"During the Bush years, Hollywood neglected the heroism of American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan — but it did release this action film about martial honor, unflinching courage, and the oft-ignored truth that freedom isn’t free. Beneath a layer of egregious non-history — including goblin-like creatures that belong in a fantasy epic — is a stylized story about the ancient battle of Thermopylae and the Spartan defense of the West’s fledgling institutions. It contrasts a small band of Spartans, motivated by their convictions and a commitment to the law, with a Persian horde that is driven forward by whips. In the words recorded by the real-life Herodotus: “Law is their master, which they fear more than your men[, Xerxes,] fear you.”"
Wow how stupid could you get? First off all how free was Sparta? If I remember correctly you could not be considered a citizen of Sparta unless they could trace your family lineage back to see if you were one of the original inhabitants of the city. Oh and how free can a city be considered if instead of raising all children they threw the undesirable kids off some hill so they could die.
I really hated this fascist movie. Not as much as proofreading. I didn't do any.

Lady Gaga Ayn Rand Taxes Kill Children and Other Republican Talking Points Remix
Not too long ago I had a post about how the world was an incredible bitch goddess. Well if it wasn't enough to lose that chick Michael Jackson, former Charlies Angel lady who was on all the posters, and the guy with the paint on beard who sold us bonding agents and ties with pockets but now we have lost another of our beloved pop culture icons.
Gidget the "Yo quiero Taco Bell" dog passed away from a stroke at the ripe age of fifteen. Many people will credit Gidget for pushing Taco Bell up to eighth place in this random fast food list (one ahead of Arby's!)but I will warmly remember him for putting a cute face on an old Mexican stereotype and the unnecessary usage of the definitive I noun. So rest in peace Gidget, you will be missed by fat drunks and girls who think Chihuahuas are accessories for a wardrobe.
Speaking of being dead have you checked out the Republican Party as of late. Why is it that every time we get a new democratic president these crazy fringe conspiracy theory groups somehow permeate into the mainstream culture. There are crazies out there who believe that Obama was not born in the United States even thought there is solid proof he was. The list goes on man. The crazies are out in force.
So the Republican Party is full of crazy people and old white dudes. So what happens when the Republican Party decides that they want to reach out and recruit young people. First you get this absolute embarrassment of rapper. Now some one decided to remix a Lady Gaga song and the GOP is going to use it demonstrate that their message is something young people can relate to.
Jeeez. Talk about a massive fail. I am so glad this kid had enough time between playing beer pong and date rapping to create something that not only butchers a Lady Gaga song but also reinforces the stereotype that white guys can't rap(or jump). Thanks Chip or whatever your name is.
But what is really the most insulting about this video and this Republican strategy in general is that none of these issues are what young people care about. Young people are more progressive. I know kids today have a short attention span but when you've spent the last twenty years or so demonizing gays and trying to associate the liberal movement with fascists movements like those of Hitler or Pol Pot you're not going to win them over by making a shitty remix of a Lady Gaga or Snoop Dogg song to your same old tired talking points that taxes are evil and will kill your family.

I am Going To Punch You In The Face and You Will Applaud
A couple weeks ago I went out to the bar in my neighborhood to grab some drinks and it was unfortunately the night of the big UFC fight. It had that big dude from WWE that is about fifty times larger than anyone else in the league beating the hell out of the guy who delivers my packages I order from Amazon.com. Something perterbed me about the fight which in turn made me concerned me about my fellow citizens.
But before I get into that I must state that I have nothing against UFC or any of these organized fighting leagues besides the fact that I find them extremely boring. It pissed me off when I hear those who love boxing condeming how brutal these mixed martial arts competitions are in comparison to boxing.
(Funny story. In high school me and some chums decided to rent a UFC fight from a Blockbuster video and it had to be the boringist thing we ever watched in our lives. The only thing I remebmer was that one guy won his fight by getting the person he was fighting into a headlock and punching him in the balls. It was horrific but yet somehow hilarious at the same time).
Yeah but most people who think UFC or whatever the hell the other competitions are called who find it too violent but love boxing make me sick. I mean have they watched boxing? Last time I checked it was two guys in a ring beating the living hell out of each other. I caught a fight from years ago on HBO the other day that must have had more blood flying around then when the Octomom gave birth.
But what disturbed me the most about watching the fight in the bar with what seemed like hundred of guys wearing the same stupid Tapout shirt was how excited they would get when one of the fighters would release Thunder Dome on the other guy. Look I understand it is the most exciting part of the fight and this is why people spend the sixty dollars or so to order these things but I don't think this is a very compelling trait we as a species have.
I don't know man. It just seems that if you can derive pleasure out of watching another human being come down full force with his forearm into someone's head who is basically in a defenseless position it is easy for you to turn the other way and be emotionless when people in this country are hungry or have no health insurance or get sent back to Mexico or when we go off to war and people die.
I don't' know I'm probably wrong on this. I don't think you are evil if you enjoy these fights. I am just saying it is hard for me to have any sort of enjoyment watching pain being inflicted into others.
And in closing here is a word of advice. If you do go out to a bar and watch one of these fights it is probably a good idea not to say that WWE is more bad ass than UFC. A bunch of guys with shaved heads and Tapout shirts on will call you a "fucking pussy."

What is going on in the world man?
Lately the world has been a cruel bitch goddess hasn't it. Things are really starting to look bad out there. It wasn't enough that we had to deal with massive unemployment, some sort of global recession and the scourge of marketing campaigns disguised as movies to sell toys to the kiddos but now we have city papers advertising Marion Barry can't get his dick sucked and then Superman and Batman getting arrested. Whats next my friends? Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes. The dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!
Speaking of mass hysteria how about Michael Jackson dieing? You know what my thoughts are on the matter? None. I have no strong feelings about him dieing. I didn't care yesterday, I don't care today, and fifty years from now when Rolling Stone has some sort of issue commemorating the fifty year anniversary of his death I'll skip over that article because I still won't fucking care. So yeah I guess you could say I am indiferent to the whole affair. Does that make me cold hearted? Well I don't see you crying robot.
What does offend me about the whole thing is how they still call him the King of Pop (and when I say they its pretty much the white media). You know what though? Labels like that have a fucking shelf life man. When you haven't put out any good (or relevant) music in the last fifteen years you have to pass the crown to some other media created overrated pop star. I mean come on Jimmy Carter hasn't been president since what 1980? Do you still think he runs around calling himself President Carter. I know the media doesn't. (Former President Carter dude) Maybe for a couple weeks after that asshole Reagan got sworn he still went around introducing himself as President Carter to score some tail at parties but not anymore. Like I said shelf life baby.
Another sign of the Apocalypse for those whose brain is only present to provide them justification of having a skull was that the train wreck that is Sarah Palin quit being Governor of Alaska. Oh no I'm sorry she didn't quit because she said quitting would be staying in office. Yes she really fucking said that but come on this can't be the first time that you've asked yourself did she really fucking just say that.
One of the reasons she said she was quitting, horrendous basketball metaphors aside (wasn't that a massive fail? I mean talking about how a good point guard sees the whole court and passes if they have to. I guess it would be an apt metaphor if in game seven instead of making the winning shot Jordan said fuck it I'm gonna go play some poker) her reasons were were bullshit. She is mad that she has to spend all her time fighting all these ethics investigations and the amount of money involved in defending herself against these charges. So what Sarah people are just supposed to ignore you firing state troopers and spending 250,000 dollars on clothes and charging per Diem meals to the state when you are at your home? Then you said you didn't want to waste tax payers money (but you didn't want to take stimulus funds that would help your taxpayers) fighting these investigations even though the money is all ready budgeted to lawyers anyways. Jeeez!
The sad part about this is that her supporters love her even more. I mean how does this happen. Somebody who quits the governorship for no good reason besides she isn't as beloved as she used to be has her approval ratings go up? It always reminds me of the great show Arrested Development. The main characters son is going out with a girl that he does not really like. Every time the son brings her up the main character ask "her." Well you know what people. Every time I hear someone say she is as qualified as Obama to be president or she is the greatest I"ll just go "her?"
I can't find a video of Jason Bateman going "her." Will Arnette is always a good substitute.

A Haunted House Without Zombies? What Gives?
First off it has been a while since I have posted on here. Maybe you thought I decided to stay in Vegas or I lost all my motor functions. No I have been doing all right. I wanted to write something on here a couple of times but I just had no motivation.
Anyways I just got done watching a documentary called Hell House. IT was about a church down in Texas that created a Haunted House but instead of Chainsaws cutting through spines and zombies munching on brains it was girls bleeding to death from taking the Plan B pill and girls getting raped at raves after being drugged and molested by their dad and going to hell because they killed themselves (yes that was really happening).
First I guess it should be mentioned I have no beliefs at all. If I was going to define myself as anything I would like to think that I am a nihilist but the whole definition of nihilism kind of negates the whole point of being a nihilist. I mean being a nihilist means you think life is without meaning, value, or intrinsic value but wouldn't the fact that you are a nihilist stipulate that these funtions are present in your life? Way to think that theory all the way through Nietzsche!
Anyways back to Hell House. I don't get the purposes of these houses. Who are they really set up for? The whole point of running them is to scare these kids straight into Jesus but I would think the only ones who would really enjoy these houses would would be those who all ready inclined to be associated with and aware of Christian dogma. (Update: Actually with some reflection these are the people who even if they live a just life as defined by their religion they will still be moved by what they see and want to double down on their devotion to Jesus).In fact there was one point in the flick where someone who went through the house was offended by their portrayal of the gay person who died of aids (which was kind of offensive since they said the only reason he was gay was because he was molested and the only reason he had aids was because he was gay).
My biggest problem with the whole aspect of the Hell Houses is that they are trying to scare people into accepting Jesus as their savior. I think this is misguided for two reasons.
1) I don't know everything there is to know about Jesus but he seemed like a pretty upbeat guy who delivered a message of hope and peace and love and pinball. I would think instead of trying to scare these kids straight it would be easier to get people into your religion if you went with those messages. People would probably be more upbeat as well and you wouldn't have to always talk about burning for eternity.
(Quick Aside. Billy Mays is on television right now trying to sell me some Health Insurance. Knowing that he is dead right now makes me think that he doesn't seem like the greatest pitchman for this product huh)?
2) The whole point of the Hell House was to scare people into turning to Jesus with the threat of burning for eternity in hell. I know eternity is a long time and burning would be a nuisance but I don't really find this a compelling reason to devote your life to Jesus. If you ask me it seems pretty weak to devote your life to something because you are scarred of what the consequences would be if you don't. By threatening people and coercing them into your faith by impending fear makes you the school yard bully picking on the little kid. Kurt Cameron and that weird little Aussie dude he hangs out with employ this tactic as well and I find it deplorable. If you introduce this fear and let it linger to the point that it becomes your sole reason you affiliate with whatever religious institution is your cup of tea it leads to some fucked up notions and beliefs such as thinking all gay people have Aids or you might think it is a good idea to invade a country even though they had no weapons of mass destruction.
Well those were my quick thoughts on the movie. I could go on but its late and Harrison Ford is barking at the president of the United States telling him that he doesn't dance!
Yeah. But the next two movies on my list of things to see are Prayer Of The Rollerboys and Gymkata!
