Casi-NO or Casi-YES?

Great zoinks! Super Tuesday is here! And yes, I did vote... sort of. How could I not? Oh yeah, because I hate voting. It's not like we're voting on whether or not to blow up the sun. Because if that was on the ballot, you can be sure as nails I'd cast my vote. Lousy sun, always giving people sunburns... But anyway, yes, I did vote. If you've watched any tv or listened to any radio in the past month, you know that the whole casino issue is big. It's so big, that even the Native Americans are speaking out on it. They even had commercials supporting both sides of the issue during the Super Bowl. Well, not during the actual game, but during commercial time.

So if I'm understanding this properly, here's how it works - a "yes" vote on Propositions 94, 95, 96, and 97 means yes to Indian gaming. A "no" vote on those propositions means no to Indian gaming. So what should you vote? Here's my recommendation: vote yes on 94 and 96 and vote no on 95 and 97. If that's not being fair, then I don't know what is. I'm not serious - don't actually do that. You will surely mess up the system and doom mankind by doing so. And it's probably not a good idea to take political advice from me. After all, I'm still trying to find out what Propositions 1 through 93 are. And the first thing that comes to my mind when I think about Indian gaming is Oregon Trail, that old school computer game, which is weird because I'm not even sure if there were Indians in that game.

Anywho, stop wasting your time here. It's Super Tuesday. If you're a registered voter, go do your business. And then go vote.

Let Dwayne Fall

Whoever was praying to the rain gods a couple of weeks ago, thank you for stopping. That had to be the worst storm I've ever been in. I was going to work and the rain hitting my face hurt so much that I cried. I don't care what anybody thinks. I'll cry in the middle of a storm if I want to. Well, that's only because nobody can tell when it's coming down so hard. Alright, maybe I didn't cry but the windy winds just made it worse. And unlike the seat of Michael Moore's pants, the Bay Area is not used to so much wind. That's probably why people here still think that they can walk into a storm of biblical proportions and go unscathed by using an umbrella. I gotta admit though, it is entertaining to see umbrellas flip over and blow away.

I suppose rain isn't all bad tho. In fact, I had a friend tell me she likes the rain. And if you do too, I can only assume that it's because you like making people sad. But I did see, firsthand, some good that came from the rain. For example, the urine and feces that I usually have to side step around to get to the entrance at work was gone. And the streets that are usually decorated with hobos and druggies... all gone too! Too bad it took an act of God to make it happen.

So because of the rain, I've been looking for a good song about rain. And if you know me, which nobody does, you would know that I'm horrible at paying attention to the lyrics. You could send me a song about some of the most offensive and obscene lyrics, but if it has a good beat and melody, to me, that's a keeper. That probably explains my jpop obsession in college. Actually, maybe jpop was what made me ignore song lyrics altogether. Or perhaps I'm just a bad listener. At any rate, when I hear a song, the lyrics typically go through one ear and bounces out the same ear. So back to the rain song, I decided I would pick out a song and transcribe the lyrics. So the song that came to my mind was Come Clean by Hilary Duff. I had to listen to the song a bunch of times to get the lyrics down so hopefully me sacrificing my sanity was worth it. You might want to go to Youtube or Imeem and play the actual song so you can follow my lyrics. So here's how the song sounds to me...

Song: Come Clean
Artist: Hilary Duff
Lyrics: me!

Lets go back, back to the beginning
Back to when the earth, the sun, the stars all aligned
'Cause perfect didn't feel so perfect
Trying to fit a swear into a circle was malign
Eye de fi...

Let Dwayne fall down and break my jeans
Let it wash away my sand, Neddy
'Cause i wanna feel the thunder
I want ice cream
Let Dwayne fall down
I'm coming, Queen
I'm common green

I'm sh---ing, sh---ing every color
Trying to find the pig man of drool beneath my scam
Ooooo
Cause different doesn't feel so different
Can go in at a sweater that always stay in me
Weee o way when

Let Dwayne fall down and break my jeans
Let it wash away my sand, Neddy
'Cause i wanna feel the thunder
I want ice cream
Let the Dwayne fall down
I'm coming, Queen
I'm common green

I'm calling Queen
Aye ye yea...

Let the rain fall
Let the rain fall
I'm coming...

Let Dwayne fall down and break my jeans
Let it wash away my sand, Neddy
'Cause i wanna feel the thunder
I want ice cream
Let the Dwayne fall down
I'm coming, Queen

Home coming queen
Home coming king

Let the rain fall
Let the rain fall
Let the rain fall

I'm becoming Greek

Let's go back, back to the beginning...

Happy Christmas and Merry New Year!

You wouldn't know but for a guy with all the time in the world, I've been surprisingly busy. Don't ask me how that happens... or else! ...or else I'll have to answer you. I've got a lot of blogging to catch up on which means nothing but wasted time and misery for you. I have so much to talk about that I don't even know where to start. Never mind that I actually started several sentences ago and do know where to start. It's continuing what I started that leaves me in a quandary of sorts.

So let's just jump to the show-and-tell portion of my post. I've found a Christmas card that reminds me of how my Christmas went...


So as you have probably surmised by now, I spent the blessed Advent season denying people of gifts for perfectly reasonable and understandable reasons. But to be fair, the guy in the picture isn't that ugly, right? I mean doesn't he kinda look like m... oh, never mind...

All joking aside, I had a very merry Christmas. And I'd like to wish you all a horribly belated Merry Christmas and a somewhat on-time Happy New Year!

Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today,
And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day!
