Current mood:Celebratory
It's the holiday season
So whoop-de-doo and dickory-dock
And I think we all know
What rhymes with "dock"


It's been a long while, so I'm going to get right into my recent holiday blog-

In honor of Halloween, here's what scares me:

1) So far, there is not one presidential candidate that I can see myself voting for. (I'm still up in the air about Ron Paul, and I'm still contemplating Obama…. What I'd really love to see is Al Gore endorse Obama, just to stick it in the Clintons' face. You know… "Yeah, here's what you get for leaving me hangin' out to dry in 2000- Obama gets my Nobel Prize-winning nod, you bastards.")

2) People have turned the Nintendo Wii into their grail quest. (Sure, it's an awesome system, and much cooler than "Tickle Me Elmo", but seriously, how long are we going to let our collective bovine behavior prove the merchandising machine, with it's opinion of us as nothing more than mere cattle- constantly grazing at the corporate grasslands, to be correct?)

3) Paris Hilton recently posed in a nude photo shoot to raise people's awareness about global warming!!! (Too easy… write your own joke, post it in the comments, and we'll always have Paris...)


In honor of Thanksgiving, here's what should be shoved up a Tur-duc-en's ass (and you have to spell this new whimsical holiday treat with hyphens- otherwise, it contains the word "turd."):

1) ET, Access Hollywood, TMZ, and all the rest- there are REAL people with actual LIVES that are trying to DO something out there… why are these shows still getting attention, and who gives a shit about spoiled brats and their drug habits, love lives, and run-ins with the law? MOOOOOOO!!!

2) Reality shows on MTV and VH1. Anyone remember music videos? Obviously people do, because I see them on YouTube constantly; where I also see some guy's roommate set his own pubic hair on fire. How's that for entertainment you fucking cattle? BAAAAAAAAA!!!

3) High-Fructose Corn Syrup. There's too much of this shit in our food (so it probably SHOULDN'T be shoved up a Tur-duc-en's ass, but come on, it's a Tur-duc-en! What else can you possibly do- add a Cornish game hen and a Buffalo chicken wing? (Ofcourse, that would make it a Tur-duc-en-hen-ing.)). Almost as if there is a very small elite group of people with a very strong interest in keeping us fat and complacent… Yeah, keep drinking this beer, cattle, and watch this sporting event, and eat this food, take this anti-depressant, and go to sleep… for while you snooze through life, the elite who have been trained to believe that they were born into privilege because GOD made it so, will take care of everything… so sleep… sleeeeeeeeep… and when you wake up, DIABETES! AAAAAAAAGH!!!

(By the way, what am I thankful for? My family (which to me, includes my friends), green makeup- which is saving my butt again, the Orlando stand-up comedy scene, The Clarences, and the Killswitch Engage album "When Daylight Dies.")


In honor of Christmas, I wish this for all of you:

Like the sun, die and be born anew.

Let the parts of yourself that are absorbed by this illusion perish so that you can wake up with eyes truly open to the REAL reality: we are one.

If you are angered by the phrase "Happy Holidays" and INSIST that this is Christmas and NOTHING else, then I truly wish that you find the living Christ- an energy that transcends petty dogma and embraces the spirit of happy holidays.

And lastly, I wish that all of you get to play the Wii- it's actually pretty fucking cool.

First off, the Wii is pretty fucking cool. What bothers me is that it's so fucking cool that the conspiracy theorist in me thinks that maybe its production and distribution is limited, just to make sure it's always in demand. (Remember last Christmas? Everyone was looking for a Wii then, too.) But I'm probably just overthinking the whole damn thing.

And forget high fructose corn syrup; tur-duck-en is just ... bizarre. If anything is going to kill us, it's stuffing various birds and meat into other various birds and meat and eating it. It's like the KFC Famous Bowls ... if our food could be liquified and taken intravenously, wouldn't it just be more convenient for everybody?

You see, I am of the belief that many people are somehow subconsciously aware that they are cattle; they know they're living in a world beyond their control. However, to watch people who have the world at their fingertips (the Paris Hiltons, Lindsey Lohans and Brittney Spears of the world) completely mishandle their entire lives is somehow enticing to these people, who content themselves by knowing that if they had that type of money or influence, they would do so much better with it than these ... celebrities.

(And isn't Paris Hilton that most divine of whores? She is willing to not only sell her body, but her name, her personality and her soul for fame. Because being a trust-fund baby with billions just wasn't enough.)

I also remember music videos, and I remember when MTV started MTV2 to show only videos to "get back to their roots". Now they show "Beavis and Butt-Head", "Jackass", and "The Tom Green Show" reruns. And not a music video in sight. But, what's even more fascinating is that music videos (and music, in general) suck pretty hard these days. They all look and sound the same, so it is only our fond memories we have to comfort us. (VH1 Classic shows nothing but videos and live concert footage, and nothing newer than 1995, by the way).

Lastly, he has no chance whatsoever, but Dennis Kucinich is the man. He's idealistic, funny and considerate of the entire country he'd be running, not just his voter base or special interests (at least, I hope that's how it would turn out). And as for Ron Paul ... well, let's just say I have a very specific problem with a so-called Libertarian supporting Pro-Life registration. I thought Libertarians didn't like legislating that type of thing, but I know Republicans do. Could it be that I'm overthinking the whole damn thing?

I think I'll have some high-fructose corn syrup and calm down. Happy Holidays.

...One is swept away by the wind, and the other falls through the floor grate before reaching the door.

And another seedy dive in small-town America is safe from the evils of Intellectual Vacancy and Emo-Glam Retardation.
