Video phones are on their way. After almost 50 years of promising them, "they" are finally on the verge of delivering. flying cars? no. jet-packs? not yet. video phone? yes. basically, it's iphone + skype = way to many shots up peoples noses.(test groups have shown a habit for going "up nostril"). it appears that the movie Brazil, got something right (one of my fathers favorites, I personally think it got more wrong than right). But I digress.
New Orleans has a new drink to replace the hurricane. it's called "The Oil Spill". Yes. it's Jaegarmister and saltwater garnished with a shrimp! ooh yummy. I can remember having only 1 1/2 hurricanes. The second half of #2 is somewhat of a blur which includes a jazz band, too many beads, and discovering my girlfriend flashing the people on the balconies. Pretty much what every Mardi-Gras edition of Cops looked like, minus the horse.
The earth is bleeding oil. BP is sending robotic submarines down to the Gulf floor to try and stop the bleeding. or they are going to drop a giant Cement dome over the whole thing and suck out the oil with a straw. keep driving that SUV.
The stock market bounced like a superball on concrete on Thursday. My account was down $8. The account my father manages was up big. and he spent half the day on the friggen soccer field. oh well I spent most of the day outside, on the back of a truck, in a barn and down by a couple of lakes. (that enough prepositions for you?). until my friend frantically texted me that the Dow Jones was down 700 pts! yikes. I took a pause and turned on the tv. People in riot-gear with white helmets where clubbing some dude in a bright yellow shirt. first they knocked him down, then they gave him a couple stick shots to the rib. smoke. fire. a photographer takes a couple club shots. they pushed this one guy down and into a telephone pole and he tripped on the corner curb. then he just sat there and the white helmets left him alone. the people of Greece want some money. they are so used to the steady government teet-milk, take it away and they take to the streets. One-third of everyone employed in Greece works for the government. The U.S. government is not set up to be your parent, spouse, baby-sitter, caretaker or charity. The U.S. Constitution was written to protect the smallest minority group — the individual. This individual has the freedom and right to pursue life, liberty and happiness. If you are not willing to put in the time and commitment, then you will most likely not be able to afford a home, car, vacation and even health care. Luckily, there are many charitable organizations and individuals abound to assist the needy. No one dies or goes hungry unless it is his or her choice. And that is the keyword — choice.
