I read Thea’s BLOG of yesterday. I know that there has been a practice in the past on the Assholier than Thou Good Times Happy Friends Monday Morning Radio Show Starring Baby Fea (yea) for one of us to say black and the other to say white. It is the comedy of contradiction. That is why Thea has been historically ultra-light while I have been living through years of miserable chafing. So, the instinct is there, after reading her BLOG of yesterday, to say that it is not all that bad. But I won’t. Because I know that it all truly, indeed, sucks. Money problems are the worst and a sick cat blows but I know that Thea will stay strong and lift her oppressors.
What is up with Rush (the big fat idiot) resigning and Arnold (the burly [yes, burl, Thea] retard) apologizing? What is wrong with people? Does anybody have any guts anymore? Is everybody so fucking PC that they can’t express a point of view or an idea without being crucified? The whole thing makes me sick. I can respect a man with an opinion. I can not ever be down with an apologizing crybaby. Ever. Now, I am not saying that I am ever going to run for office or propel myself any further into the public spotlight but I am not completely ruling it out either. So, to show that I am a man with testicles, I will spell out some of my beliefs right here in cyberspace for all to enjoy.
Fuck everybody.
Humanity is the devil.
USA out of North America. Now!
Legalize all drugs.
If you are not me, then fuck you.
People are too stupid to rule themselves.
A state sponsored sterilization program is not necessarily a bad thing.
Maybe the United States should think about staying out of World affairs until we can pull our heads out of our asses. Maybe?
I am an angry gumball.
Kucinich for President in 2004.
How do you like me now, suckers? I promise you this: I will never apologize.
The high point of my day so far has been me standing in my bathroom with one foot up on the bathtub air guitarring and then putting both of my hands up in the air in the devil’s horns. Why? I have no idea. With a opening like that, you know that it is going to rock.

As soon as I got done BLOGGING yesterday, I locked my wife and I out of our apartment. I knew that neither one of us had our key as I pulled the door shut but there was nothing I could do to stop myself. Damn it. We went to Laurie’s friend’s Martha who lives our building apartment to call the landlord. We got the machine. We tried all of the things that you would imagine trying to get into a locked apartment including setting a ladder up that was too short to reach our window. I swear I would have just climbed through the window but no dice. It became apparent, after only a few minutes, that we were going to be spending the night away from home. Hooray. A sleepover. Since Martha is a woman with a one bedroom apartment, I thought it would probably be a good idea to spend the night at my parent’s house and give the ladies their privacy. I called my mother. She said, “You’re joking.” Nope. After buying the girls some essentials from the store, I drove Martha’s car to Garfield Heights. It was almost 10:00 p.m. when I got there. I apologized to my parents for being a fuck up, talked to my mom for awhile, ate some grapes and went to bed in my old room that is now used for storage but had a cot set up in it. Lying in my old room, remembering the way that the light and noise from the street was back in the day, I had an enormous smile on my face as I fell asleep. I slept great. Solid. I woke up well rested. My family was in the middle of their morning routine. I drank a cup of coffee, looked at the paper, borrowed “Old Man and the Sea” from a bookshelf and took off for Lakewood, OH without talking to anybody from my family. The drive from Garfield Height, OH to Lakewood, OH was excellent. I could only imagine what it would be like to have to commute to work on the highway like that every day. Wow. I really like riding the bus to work. I like reading in the morning. To have a daily commute by car on the highway would sicken me. Back at Martha’s, I woke Laurie up while Martha got ready for work. We sat in her apartment waiting for the landlord to show up after she left for her long day of office work and law school. Laurie and I talked. I told her that I was sorry for being a fuck up. I went outside to read “The Old Man and he Sea” while she watched the news. The landlord let us in at 9:00 a.m. this morning. The apartment smelled like home. Rupert, our non-black retarded cat, hissed at us because he did not know who we were after being gone for a night. We got ready for work and left for the day. I got to work a couple of hours late and work was all that really suffered today as I could not really get myself motivated to do anything after such a unusual start. Man, I am addicted to that routine. I love the routine. So, I got my hair cut today and ran into the webmaster Flying V (who rules, by the way, but I don’t have time to get into why right now) on the street. I did bullshit work and now I am getting ready to go home. All in all, it has not been a bad day and I think that it is probably a good thing to mix it up every once in awhile. Tonight, I have to go to the store to buy some fruit and take a walk before “The Blues” and you can bet that I am going to check my pockets before I leave. I want to say thank you to my parents and Martha for their kindness and hospitality and also say big ups to everybody.

Laurie and I just got back from seeing “American Splendor”. It was excellent. Big ups to Lakewood, OH for its starring role. Lakewood, OH – top of the food chain. Recognize. Also, the story was bitter sweet and touching and thought provoking and everything that I am always looking for in a movie. Paul Giamaitti completely shred as Harvey Pekar. I am really glad that we hit this movie tonight and a super thank you goes out to Joe of the Cleveland Cinemas for the hook up. Today was a really good day. I got a lot done. I bought “Never Mind the Pollocks” by Neal Pollack to see what the competition is up to. I worked my ass off while listening to the new Lilys record. That record kicks the ass. I set the wheels in motion for the first WCSB Benefit show that the Assholier than Thou Good Times Happy Friends Monday Morning Radio Show Starring Baby Fea (yea) is sponsoring. More details to come soon. I am about to head out for a walk and then it is both “The Blues” and “N.Y.P.D. Blues” (Why didn’t anybody tell me that the show already started?) and then bed. Alright. I have got to boogie. Later.

BLOG. Weekend Edition.
Friday. It took me all day to finally getting all of the timekeeping nonsense that accumulated from vacation off of my desk. I am now ready to attack the next couple of months of work. I am doing a bunch of overtime in the next two months to pay for the holidays. It is called planning ahead and I am doing it with the complete understanding that it will be a total failure but I am trying it anyhow. It would be nice to not run around like a maniac after I get my bonus in December buying holiday cheer just once in my life. Maybe this year? I doubt it. I went over my parent’s house after work and helped my dad get drywall from the Big Box Home Repair Place. I ate pizza and bungee chords were used. It was a good night.
Saturday. I watched “I Am Trying to Break Your Heart” and “A Mighty Wind” on DVD yesterday. Both were excellent. I listened to some records, read, flipped the channels (What’s up with Sean Penn playing that retarded guy? Doesn’t anybody have people anymore to advise against this kind of horrible career move? I am against acting like a retard as artistic statement – not when real life day-to-day retardation is so prevalent. e.g. Parmatown Mall.) and basically lied on my ass all day. Time well spent. I went out last night with Laurie and her friend Caryn to a birthday party for some lady that Laurie works with. It felt like high school all over again. I stayed up late watching “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”, living some serious déjà vu or something.
Sunday. I am doing laundry now and then the Browns are on television and then I have practice and then I am going to eat dinner and then go for a walk and then watch television and then go to bed and then talk to you tomorrow on the Assholier than Thou Good Times Happy Friends Monday Morning Radio Show Starring Baby Fea (yea).
