Last Week

Ahhh... last week doesnt exist. all that exists is the next 2 weeks of vacation. After the last week at work with business picking up and all the drama that is being fed by the crystal palace, this little vacation is so desperately needed.
On the home front all is good. Princess has gas, stinky busted his lip chasing a wild turkey and the wife bought daddy a dirty little toy. I am so blessed that regardless of what garbage goes on in the world around me I always have the peace and serenity of home. Even when home isnt so peaceful and serene.
Speaking of the crap going on with the world. What the hell is up with this swine flu? Are you kidding me. Stop with the germaphobe scare tactics. First West Nile Virus, then Avian Flu, now...swine flu. Come on, i am just flabbergasted at how easily we as Americans are freaked out. First of all isnt Mexico like a 3rd world nation, do they have healthcare that comes any where near ours. No offense Mexico. And with 6 billion people on the planet I would hardly call 100 people dieing from the flu a pandemic. Wifeys mom pulled this whole "you need to keep the kids locked up in the house." bullshit.
Uhm yeah right. No what i need to do is beat you over the head with your 200 pound arm and put you out of my misery. Wow that was just mean. Seriously though, locking my son in the house is a horrible idea. In three days it would be like a nuclear warzone in here.
I remember a time when kids were thrown in the back of the pick up truck or the station wagon and told to hold on. How about when we used to drop food...dude the 30 second rule is now the 2 second rule, wash it in boiling water and then maybe you can eat it. What about falling and scraping your knee...can you say rubbing owowowlcohol. Now people stub their toe and call 911 and want a morphine drip and an lights and sirens run to the hospital. People it is not the world that is killing us, it is our own ridiculus fear of everything.

Anyway enough of my unintelligent soap box. Watched the new Bond movie this weekend. Not much to say other than it gets a straight A+. Great guy movie all the way. intense action, hot chicks, and Bond. What more do you need. Visually and auditorially stunning.

And for you children of the 80's...GI Joe Resolute. Watch it...enjoy it...weep with the joy knowing that finally GI Joe has been done the way it should be done. Super awesome. No stupid lasers, although there are some tribute moments to the old laser fights. People die, cities are wiped off the face of the earth, and Cobra Commander isnt a whiny little bitch. Awesome

For your auditory pleasure check out Steffen Shackinger. This guy is a technical guitar virtuoso. Shades of Steve Vai with soul. He has a couple of songs with a devil goes down to Georgia duel with this sick little violinist chick. This guy rocks.

And I'm spent. Till next time my little crickets, I remain Gortok the not so smart blogger
