Vapid - Update...

Tonight something life changing happened...after years of searching, years of hunting, years of pain, years of misery, years of longing...I found it...I saw it...I bought it...I bought two. Tonight I stumbled upon Old El Paso Gordita Mix. As some would know, Jake especially, that in college I lived on these things. The gorditas are delicious and the spicy ranch dressing should be poured on everything from gorditas, chocolate cake, fish, a woman's flat stomach, and all points in between. I don't have to tell you that those lovely pieces of heaven will be consumed draft weekend.

With the good comes the bad...tonight I was embarrassed to love Pennsylvania. I don't think I have to say why. The embracing of evil fascinates me.

With the good and the bad comes the best...THE FLYERS WON!!! Go Flyers!!!

Utterings from the Unknown

Just some randomness on a beautiful Las Vegas day...

- I just picked up another version of Candide...my favorite book. This one is terrific, the Norton Critical 2nd Edition. If you haven't read the book, and you want to, I would buy this one.

- I am waiting for another book to arrive, a book I have been recommended many, many times...but never read. I am not sure why, but I am excited about reading it...it is called Confederacy Of Dunces.

- Serra vs. St. Pierre...I saw it...terrible.

- Arsenal is out of contention for any silverware this year...again. That sucked.

- Still love my new phone.

- Artie Lange was not fired...discuss amongst yourselves.

- The greatest weekend in the world is about to take place...it is what every man, woman and child should celebrate in song and dance...of course it can only be one thing...NFL DRAFT! This year is going to be great ladies and gents...the Dolphins stole a little of the suspense with the announcement today...but this first round should be really good.
Of course to celebrate my lovely mother will be sending the greatest snack food ever...the dessert of all desserts...the dessert in the desert...Tastycakes. I am sure I announced this before but it should be announced on the front page of all media outlets...there is now double iced Tastycakes...to anyone who knows of the joy...the pure and utter bliss of Tastycakes...you know what a great fucking thing that is...what coma inducing pleasure it can cause.

- I saw the Movie "23" with Jim Carrey...I was told the movie was going to be fucking horrible. I didn't feel that way at all. I didn't think it was good, and the middle let the movie down considerably...but all in all..there is a lot worse shit out there. For example, the infamous and filth loving Babbles McPigman POY CPO, is right now seeing the new Jet Li and Jackie Chan movie...that must be shit of the highest order. Can you imagine what color the sky is in the alternative universe where that movie could be good? My guess...mauve.

- I have made a terribly disturbing discovery...something odd...something unusual...something disconcerting. My fantasy baseball team in in the top half of the league...which is a good thing...except...I DID NOT DRAFT THE TEAM!!! The last 4 years I was in the bottom part, except once, and I drafted those teams. So I should be happy...but I just don't know what to think of a team where I didn't draft the players doing much better than a team I did draft.

- Flyers are going into a 7th game.

- I saw "American Pie" for the first time in a long time...and I have to say that "suck my beautiful" might be the funniest line in cinematic history...that is a disturbed write. Amen.


The writing is going well, and the job hunt is still going...I would get more into that...but it isn't the time right now. Not at all. When I get a chance...when the time is right...I will post something about it...it is fascinating.

Stay classy cyber geeks.


It's important to have in mind that evil is essential to the order of the world and the birth of the good. - Voltaire

Majority Report

An update for those who have requested a blog...yes...the level of depravity has truly hit rock bottom.

I am still out of work, which isn't a bad thing. I am taking my time to find the right job this time. I am not rushing into anything...not that I have really been beating the bushes too hard. Perhaps I should considering this fucking idiot we have BBQ'ing in the White House has tanked this economy harder than a Japanese Zero pilot on a kamikaze mission. On a quick aside...can we start a movement to sterilize anyone who is a still Bush supporter? Before you answer...think of this...can we keep this stupidity in the gene pool and still hope for a better world? Anyway...I am starting to look for work more...but the joys of writing and Las Vegas have kept me very busy.

...still with my limited and very particular job search I have been contacted by some good companies and I will be working on that much more over the next few weeks. I hate not working and it if wasn't for the writing I would have gone crazy by now. I have some interesting things in the works...some very, very fascinating inquiries...some that would absolutely shock and surprise the vast majority of the readers. I will stay quiet for now until I hear more things. Things are definitely interesting.

...writing...it has been so good. I have been really on fire and I am starting to close in on the end of book 4...which will absolutely mean that there will be a 5th book that will go unread. I don't care, I love writing and I don't care if anyone else reads it. I just want to do what i love, and i don't care if anyone knows it. A major mental breakthrough for me and it has liberated my thinking...which has made for some great writing. It is a shame that no one will read it because this book is just amazing...and dear God would it piss off so many people...I have said that before...and I will also say I never meant to do it...the idea came from nowhere and very organically.

I got my new phone...it kicks ass. It is a damn good phone and now I can use it for a while...until the 3g iPhone makes it's debut.

Now for the bad...

...Arsenal lost on the most bullshit of bullshit calls...so no Champions League title this year. no silverware at all. A crushing defeat. This one hurt.

...other than that...nothing bad. Life is actually pretty good. Warm, sunny and breezy here in paradise. Enjoy yourself.
