Our Celebrity Elect. We’ve all seen it. Planned. Packaged. Delivered. Shit’s pretty ridiculous at this point. Hope his policy is half as good as his marketing appeal. Remember Carter picked up after an equally malformed Nixon, and couldn’t policy his way out of a paper bag. We’ll see right? The messiah is gonna come. I just know it. Fuck it. Until then, it’s just another bright light of the same train wreck, but I’ll go ahead and keep twirling my baton too.

Been enjoying Fugazi of late and stumbled on a Red Hot Chili Peppers cover of Waiting Room. Almost enough reason to respect them again. Almost.

Gimme the Cure. Something soothing about it, and all the entrails of the post-punk pop-punk era. Sure. Ain’t no statement there. Nothing a true Richmond/DC punk could appreciate I know. Soft. Fuck it.

Stevil’s clue on Red Fang about set it right for me. I’ve been in a cave for days with all this holiday bullshit. It was good to come out and see metal begin to redeem itself. Reminded me I’ve been missing something in my life for about 15 years.

Com’n in hot. Shit reminds me of Supercross during Damon Bradshaw’s reign. Hard packed berms they’d hit so fast, they never took their feet off the pegs. Course, that was right before he cracked, disapeared, and emerged to find his true talent elsewhere. That’s right motherfucker. Brutalize it. Ain’t no deny’n where you from.

Live or memorex? Yep. Definitely memorex.

The Bummer life abounds. Avoid at all cost:

Man who aided bicycle theft plan has bike stolen

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – A former Fort Lauderdale city commissioner who helped create a program to combat bicycle theft had his own bike stolen while trying to help people involved in a vehicle crash. Tim Smith said he witnessed the traffic accident as he was cycling to the beach on Monday. He said he left his bike on the sidewalk to rush to the cars involved. But after finding both drivers uninjured, he went to retrieve his bike and discovered it was gone.

To add insult to injury, Smith — as a commissioner — had successfully pushed for a citywide bike registration program to help police track stolen bikes. But when he contacted police to report his own stolen bike, he had to admit it was not registered.

Wow, America is awsome.  It would almost be worth the trip down, just to fill my guts, and peep some of that ass.

I’d go so far as to say that America is “too awesome” in fact. And the key word there should be “Almost”. No matter what you think, avoid Phoenix, and ESSPECIALLY chandler at all costs. No. Matter. What. You might not make it out without some horrifying medically treatable “condition.”

Peace out. Happy weekend.
