I've had a few people suggest that I do a forum or bulletin board for my site. I’ve toyed with the idea off and on for a while and I’ve finally decided to do it.
I like Baldmafia and the small group of my friends that are allowed to post there. I like that only a small number of people are able to post there. I’ve never liked guestbooks because there is always some asshole that wants post shit just to try to piss off people. I’m sure this will happen in whatever I end up putting up but the one requirement to post will be a valid email address. So there will be no completely anonymous posting.
I’ve been working on that and I hope to have it up soon.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

I spent most of my computer time whipping up some photoshop magic for Jeremiah's story.
He promised to post the story on Baldmafia. I like the pic enough that you may not even need the story to go along with it.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

Jeremiah told me about this dream he had the other night and I think its friggin’ hilarious. Now he had promised me to post it on Baldmafia Wednesday and he has not done so. If he has done so by midnight Thursday, I am going to repeat the dream here from my recollection. But I may have to add some homoerotic elements to it to spice it up a bit. I figure he probably left them out of the story anyway.
Its now two weeks to my birthday and I just want to post a friendly reminder about what I want. I mentioned it last Friday and I want to make sure no one forgets.
All I really want is this... I want every woman I know to dress like a catholic school girl. Plaid skirts and white shirts. Plus if you know any woman, that would like an excuse to dress up like a catholic school girl, please encourage them to come along.
I plan on only mentioning this here, 3 more times, next Thursday when my birthday is a week away and then the day before and the day of my birthday.
I think things are shaping up well and I have had several women promise me that they will come through for me. I also had several others who were looking forward to it. They just love an opportunity to dress up.
I am looking forward to this so much. I promise that either I will take a bunch of pictures or I’ll get a friend to be my photographer for the evening.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

House GOP whip delivers fervent paean to Christianity
That is bullshit! That is the most offensive thing I've heard in a long time. If you're too lazy to actually read the article here is the gist. According to the Boston Globe, The House majority whip, Tom DeLay, has told evangelical Christians that only Christianity offers a reasonable answer to basic questions about the purpose of life.
Here are a few choice quotes by DeLay:
''Christianity offers the only viable, reasonable, definitive answer to the questions of `Where did I come from?' `Why am I here?' `Where am I going?' `Does life have any meaningful purpose?'''
''Only Christianity offers a way to understand that physical and moral border. Only Christianity offers a comprehensive worldview that covers all areas of life and thought, every aspect of creation. Only Christianity offers a way to live in response to the realities that we find in this world - only Christianity.''
“Where did I come from?”
My Mother’s poonanie.
“Why am I here?”
Well when a man and a woman are in love, they want to show that love to each other. So the man takes his love sausage and puts it in the woman’s hoo-hoo. Then nine months later a baby is born. That’s pretty much why most of us are here. If you take out the “love” part and put in “lust” it still explains why the rest of us are here.
“Where am I going?”
I’m not really going anywhere at the moment. I’m going to bed soon and then I’m going to go to sleep. If you want to get less literal, I’m living my life and with the exception of a few details I’m pretty happy. I try not to hurt anyone and I don’t want anyone to hurt me.
“Does life have any meaningful purpose?”
No.
Ok, I’ll expand on my answer. In the long run, nothing that has ever been done will probably mean anything. Humans have only been on this planet for a very short time in astrological terms. In a billion years, the odds of there being any humans here are pretty slim. Some time in the future our sun will explode or a meteor will crush the Earth or we’ll just poison our environment enough to kill ourselves off. It’s really just a matter of time.
Now when I say that I need to mention another belief of mine. If this lifetime is all we have... If nothing we achieve or create means shit in the long run… I see that as a reason to try to do things right. Try to treat people right. Don’t be a jackass. Think about what you’re doing and the consequences. If this is all the time you’re given, why would you want to spend it being a prick?
I answered each one of those questions and I’m fairly certain that Christianity did not influence any of my answers.
I’d like to get into the whole church and state separation thing but I’ve gone on too long as it is. Maybe I’ll save that topic for another day.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

"We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold."
-Hunter S Thompson
I really love "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". I prefer the book but I really enjoyed the movie. The thing I was disappointed about with the movie was what they left out. The movie is already about 2 hours so I understand why they had to cut some things. I left the Mag pretty early and came home to watch the movie. Johnny Depp as Raoul Duke (Hunter S. Thompson) and Benicio Del Toro as Dr. Gonzo (Oscar Zeta Acosta) are definitely not afraid to make themselves look bad. Benicio Del Toro must have gained 50 pounds at least for the movie and he seems to vomit in about half of his scenes or at least be sitting in vomit.
I know I'm painting a wonderful picture... I realize the movie and the book are not for everyone. Thompson's writing is so horrible, violent, aggressive and vivid that it ends up being very entertaining if not down right funny.
Which reminds me of something Matt and I were talking about. We went to Wendy’s for lunch and we were pretty much the only people there. There was no music playing and all you could here was this low hum and every so many seconds you could hear this fan start rattling.
I mentioned to Matt that this could easily be a scene in a David Lynch film. It seems very Lynchesque to have a scene with 2 characters in a restaurant and hearing these noises. With long pauses between the characters saying anything, so all you hear is the low hum and occasional rattle with the 2 actors just sitting there.
Matt thinks David Lynch is pulling a scam. I agree that if you’re only doing something weird just to be weird it is sort of a cheat or scam. But in the case of David Lynch I think it’s great because he is one of the very few people who can get away with doing that sort of thing.
Hell, how many people could do a TV show that basically did 2 seasons investigating one murder. I remember a scene in Twin Peaks that really made me laugh. The show was toward the end of its second year and someone asked Agent Cooper how long he had been in town. He said, “Nine days.” I found that hilarious. It took two years to cover nine days.
Lastly, Linda Lovelace died. She was the star of the film Deep Throat. I’m going to do the best I can to give her a 21 gun salute.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

I was watching TV earlier and I came across this show called "Pregnancy for Dummies".
.
.
.
What the fuck! That is just what we need. We need to encourage stupid people to have babies.
I realize that the point of the show wasn’t to encourage Dummies to get pregnant but it’s the whole “for Idiots” and “for Dummies” oversimplification of everything that sort of pisses me off. I actually saw a book called “Sex for Dummies ”.
Before you read on, one of the book's below doesn't really exist.
If you do a search at Amazon.com for “for Dummies”, there 1240 results, including The World Wide Web for Teachers (--For Dummies). I hope that there aren’t very many teachers that are dummies. Supreme Court for Dummies, I’m sure each Justice is issued a copy when they are sworn in. AOL Canada For Dummies, this seems very redundant. Back Pain Remedies For Dummies®, I put this up for Joey because he hurt his back the other day. I hope it helps. I was not surprised at this one, U.S. Presidency for Dummies. I hear it’s a special limited edition exclusive printing. Apparently only one was made. Do I really need to say who it was printed for?
I lied, all of the above books really exist.
I haven’t even started on The Complete Idiot's Guide series, which has 656 responses.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

Did you know that the Seven Samuari by Akira Kurosawa is 3 hours and 23 minutes long? I kind of forgot that when I started watching it at about 3AM. It had already started and I thought it couldn't have more than a couple of hours left....
It's now 6AM and I am really ready to go to bed.
If you haven't seen the movie you should really watch it if you get the chance.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.
