a certain cemetery
i'm going to give some money to the red cross. maybe you could, too.
five bucks helps.
and please, honestly, refrain from going into a whiny rant about what percentage of donated monies actually reaches the families, and how non-profits are thieves, and how the media coverage of the hurricane is all deterrent from the war overseas, and how it's all a part of the bush administration's plan to keep the american public blind and ignorant, and how much you hate ann coulter.
because while that's all well and good, that doesn't get the bloated corpses off of bourbon street, or put half-naked chicks back on the balconies.
tonight: pretty girls make graves
tomorrow: birthday round-up
hello, i'm neurotic.

Dear Not Enlightened,
I was searching for "Christian Blogs" to promote my new eBook Bullies: A Leadership Approach, before I realized that your blog has very little to do with religion.
That's cool though, because I write nothing like Ned Flanders, Maude Flanders, or Rod and Todd for that matter. My eBook will appeal to anyone who deals with difficult people. It is written for adults. I would even call it Buzzworthy.
If you'd like a free copy for your review, just drop me a line. I'd be happy to attach the PDF to a reply email.

As a member of Gideon's International, Inc., I was somewhat taken aback to come across your webpage when attempting to locate a song about Gideon men. To have as aside, that you are not impressed may be announcing to all who stumble upon your page--that you are not impressed with the Bible. However, the Holy Spirit of God, the composer of the Bible is impressed with you and loves you and wants you to come to Him for eternity. Someone as bright as you is definitely needed in the Kingdom. Suggest you give the Bible another chance. Not necessarily the Gideon version, which is currently the New King James Version. Lots of wisdom there from the author of the universe. God Bless you!!

This is message is critical. And nobody wants your money, or any information from you. It is about your life, is more serious than a heart attack, and you only spite yourself to not carefully read every word here, and more, as the truth will be proven to you.
First, there is no such thing as an intelligent atheist. Anyone who states there is no God does so in ignorance. Such a person may say, "Prove to me there is a God!" A person who believes may say, "Prove to me there is no God!" Whatever the case, it is clear the atheist cannot really know there is no God, the atheist having no objective evidence this is so, or, likewise, any real experience of the transcendent from within the confines of a limited material world and existence. Atheism is therefore an unintelligent stance. A person can only intelligently hold an agnostic position, or a position of faith.
ed. note: the rest of message text has been removed, because the entire thing was scripture quotation. about twelve pages. if you really want to see it, let me know and i'll forward it to you.

this is my bandwagon and i saved you a seat.
item A: while jon was driving me around philadelphia on an air-conditioned car tour, his stereo was spilling something that pleased and tickled my ears just so.
"who is this?" i inquired, endearingly.
"spoon," he replied.
spoon, friends. i am knee deep in it now. all the pretty girls do, in fact, go to the city, bitches.
item 2: you know what's pretty fucking sweet? the fact that i found a VHS copy of this is spinal tap in the 50% off bin at video one on colfax last weekend.
you know what's pretty fucking sweeter than that? this.
item D: i saw the white stripes on monday night, devo yesterday, and pretty girls make graves next week. that's three things i can cross off my list.
also, i find meg white attractive, and i'm now taking up drumming to impress her. and you.
see? that's the negative influences of music.

i can't tell that we are gonna be friends.
in a sad turn of events on my first day back to the office from a well-needed vacation, i somehow deleted every picture i took from camping, marcello's wedding, philadelphia with jon, new jersey with family, new york city with jones and faith, and jess-Kah's birthday, all in one flick of the wrist, leaving one, lonely beach photo i took with my phone.
damnit.
this just goes to show you, kids. always wipe from front to back, and never let your digicard get too full.
on that note, i have a date with jack and meg white this evening, and boy is that jason von bondie pissed.
glad to be home. what's new?

things i would like to see happen on my trip to philadelphia for marcello and carrie's wedding:
1. i would like to accidentally run into garrett dutton and explain to him that while i still have the heinekin bottle he gave me (it was full at the time. so was the bowl piece) when i was 18, i am not such a huge fan of his new music, but i continue to respect him as an artist and encourage him not to deliver elicit drugs and alcohol to minors.
2. try to track down my college roommate, who grew up in west chester, PA, and went to high school with justin guarini, and claims he was not nearly as cool as people think he is.
3. find seedy gay bars with zach.
4. finally get down to the bottom of what happened between charles barkley and larry bird.
5. confirm jon's tumultuous rantings that a true, real, no-fooling philly cheesesteak has to come with cheez-whiz. this one i'm not so excited about. and then i'm making his lazy ass pay for it. nigga owes me twelve bucks.
6. do something cultural, like ride the septa.
7. find peter forsberg, and give him "the eye."
8. put $30 in a safe place with which to pay the adolescent dog sitter upon my return.
9. get tanked at the reception and avoid having to answer the same questions i hate having to answer when i'm at home. feel free to leave alias career options in the comments below.
10. avoid calling charges and making her wire me money.
p.s. matt 1115 is sooo fabulous.

the coming of gozer
no, really. she's on her way, swear.
three things have happened in the last few days that have further convinced me that gozer is coming and she's pissed.
call your loved ones. quit your jobs. find the keymaster.
1. i found this while editing my daily newsletter:
University of Birmingham (England) professor, working from a third-century Greek text of the New Testament's Book of Revelation, found that the number representing the Antichrist is probably not 666, but 616 (in that 616 referred to the Emperor Caligula). A Church of Satan official in New York had no comment except to say that his church will use whatever number Christians fear.
there's too many awesome things going on in that, but none so much as the gas station attendant at 6th and santa fe that was talking about it yesterday when i filled up.
i entered in half-way through her conversation.
"...not 666, but 6-1-6. six plus one plus six is thirteen, and one plus three is four. four is the foundation for the swastika, which is not inherently an evil sign, but hitler made it so, and the transformation renders the holocaust what the bible defines as the apocalypse. so technically, the apocalypse has already come and gone. but i've been studying this for twenty years, and the coming of gozer will be far worse than anything we can imagine."
2. ben folds is playing in denver, again, and i'll be fucking out of town, again.
those of you who've read the bible religiously know that this is just a sick, twisted fate.
either that, or he found all the letters i wrote to him and thought better of playing while i was in town.
...and if gozer doesn't come for this one on her own accord, i'll bring her here.
3. three people mentioned ed harris yesterday.
ed harris has undoubtedly starred in some highly noteworthy films. a short list, in reverse chronological order:
copying beethoven
the hours
a beautiful mind
pollock
waking the dead
the truman show
the abyss
sweet dreams
i'll stop at sweet dreams, because, if you weren't previously privy to the information that charlie dick was portrayed as a violent drunk and a wife beater, it was apparent in this film that i watched when i was six.
yes, i now understand that they're actors, and yes, i now understand that they're just playing a part, but on some level, i blame ed harris for patsy cline's death.
and for that, he is evil. just look at his face for a while and tell me you don't agree that somethin' ain't right.
sweet dreams, indeed.
so like i said. something's in the air, friends. take heed.
rocky raccoon
checked into his room
...only to find you-know-what.
