I have been so busy I have not had a chance to update my blog as often as I would like. Fuck man I didn't even get to part four of my attempted five part series regarding music last week. How shameful. But yeah going out almost every night doing trivia or concerts or movies or just hanging out with someone you think is really great is a very stellar way to live life but the downside is that you readers don't get any of my witty and insightful views on pop culture and current events. I know I get you hooked and then suddenly take it away and next thing you know you're that guy from Trainspotting crawling into his toilet desperately trying to find out my views on campaign finance reform.
So anyways I made a list of topics I wanted to write about in my wallet. But what I think got the whole world's attention yesterday was that stupid kid who was not in the hot air balloon. Come on every news source that exists in this country; wasn't there anything else going on? Does one kid not in a hot air balloon really warrant this intensive coverage and mass hysteria?
I don't even care if it was a hoax. I did not follow the story at all because I would rather listen to The Lawrence Arms but apparently the kid was at his house the whole time. I'm pretty sure it was a hoax because lets face it this kid and his family were awfully ready to be on all the morning television shows today weren't they? Can we stop giving these attention seekers what they want and get them off the TV? Do what my friends did in the summer of 2003 when I had my Crystal Meth addiction; starve the beast.
Hey did you hear about this asshole justice of the peace down in Louisiana who refused to issue a marriage license to a mixed race couple? What is even more infuriating was the justice of the peace's defense which was "I'm not a racist. I just don't believe in mixing the races that way." I don't know what it is in today's but it is fucking hard to be labeled a racist now a days. Unless you're Glen Beck then you get to call the president a racist.
Speaking about racists I guess it was a big deal recently when it was disclosed that Rush Limbuagh wanted to obtain ownership status of the St. Louis Rams. Its actually unfair to call Rush a racist. I suspect he isn't but he does employ a lot of race baiting on his show probably because he knows his listeners eat that shit up. Like the previous mentioned Justice asshole and Rush Limbuagh I guess they figure its not being racist unless the explicitly use the "N" word. Racist or not I think its fair to say that there a lot of vitriol still permeates not just in the Southern United States but everywhere in this world. It makes me :(
Wow. Where did this post end up going? Truthfully I am really tired and my mind has kind of wondered and I think I have left a whole lot of incomplete thoughts on here. I can't even remember what I just wrote. I think I'll give it a quick proof read and then get out of here and relax. I'll try to put something more substantial on here this weekend. Or at the very least naked pics.

I'd do a blog post on each topic. It's easier to follow.
