Lately I have had the distinct displeasure of being exposed to noise. Noise is a nice word, meaning music that is crap. I hesitate to use the phrase "crappy music" because that would imply that what I have been listening to has resemblance to music, which it doesn't.
First and foremost, the addictive abomination that is American Idol, comes into my home twice a week and pollutes the air with sweet pop stink that eminates from my TV set. I know I don't have to watch it, but you don't have to watch a spectacular car crash either. American Idol is wrong in so many ways, I don't know where to begin. I'll start with the first that I can think of. It normalizes horrid music and makes people think that the "music" on American Idol is the standard, and that the singers are doing it well. Wrong on all accounts. Do you know how bad I would love to see Vinnie Paul Abbott from Pantera beat Sanjaya to death on live TV? American Idol also gives hope to horrible musicians that they can make music and sell it. The horrific plague of rap music has proven that anything can sell, but you definitely don't want to promote it. The last thing about American Idol that I will list is that it identifies Paula Abdul as a musician. Paula, smoking a record producers pole until he screams high C is not making music. And cut back on the Xanax bars and whisky prior to the show. Your dumbass is showing.
The other abomination that has stricken my life recently is a Disney/Billy Ray Cyrus created monstrosity called Hannah Montana. Apparently, BRC is smoking some pole and landed his daughter in a Disney TV show that features her as a singer. Well, the apple didn't fall too far from the tree in this case, because like her father before her, Hannah (Miley Cyrus is her real name) couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. Apparently, she does have a skill of planting subliminal messages in her "music" that is only noticed by 9-11 year old girls (the rocket offspring) and makes them crave all Disney products.
The last and definitely the dirtiest is Gwen Stefani. The reason I loathe her the most is because she actually used to make great music. No Doubt was a killer ska band and definitely one of my favorites. She turned to the dark side, or should I say the crap side, as soon as she married no talent, flash in the pan, Gavin Rossdale. Yeah, Bush had some decent music despite him, but I think his overall suckiness bled over to her through the womb when they conceived their children. Now, Gwen, who once kicked ass, is a horrible corporate shill squeeling out drivel for the masses.
Overall, I think the problem with music today is a lack of heroin. No one does it anymore, and no good music is being made. Layne Staley and Kurt Cobain, send your heroin addled ghosts back to earth and show Sanjaya and Hannah how to make some music that is actually listenable. Dimebag, come back from the dead and shoot Sanjaya up with a big dose of smack, and make him see Shiva and write a grunge album so filled with pain and passion that it oozes like hot blood from my radio and changes my life.
Or, just shoot him up with a hot dose and kill him. Either one will do.

as the tangled web unravels...
As we are watching the Bush dynasty crumble piece by piece, I thought it would be nice to rub some salt in the wound. Although I am not foolish enough to think any of the big players will go to prison, at least they won't be resurrected in another 15-20 years (see Nixon Administration). Here are some fun quotes for you...
The National Government will regard it as its first and foremost duty to revive in the nation the spirit of unity and cooperation. It will preserve and defend those basic principles on which our nation has been built. It regards Christianity as the foundation of our national morality, and the family as the basis of national life.
George Bush? Jerry Falwell? Sam Brownback? nope....Adolf Hitler.
See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda.
Hitler? Goebbels? Mussolini? nope....George W. Bush
HERE ARE THREE WHOPPERS FROM THEODORE ROOSEVELT THAT THE 30% OF AMERICA THAT STILL SUPPORT PRESIDENT BUSH SHOULD READ!!!
That we are to stand by the president, right or wrong is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.
It is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else.
Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official...
Can you tell I am fired up today? Anyway, I am going to be working 6 days a week, 12 hours a day, nights only, for the next 5 weeks. As I enter my nocturnal existence, please enjoy the sunlight for me and give me some comments for future posts.
thanks...rickrocket

they hate our freedom....
Americans are asking, why do they hate us? They hate what we see right here in this chamber -- a democratically elected government. Their leaders are self-appointed. They hate our freedoms -- our freedom of religion, our freedom of speech, our freedom to vote and assemble and disagree with each other.
George W. Bush
If the terrorists hate our freedoms so much, why is the tactic to defeat them always to take away our freedoms? Is this some sort of appeasement or is it aiding the enemy? Give us more freedoms! That should really piss them off.

interesting quotes
"If we show weakness in front of the enemies, they will increase their expectations."
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad - President of Iran
"We have learned that terrorist attacks are not caused by the use of strength; they are invited by the perception of weakness."
George W. Bush - President of the United States
Weakness on both sides is, as we know, the motto of all quarrels.
Voltaire

I'm moving to Tennessee..
Al Gore's light bill for a 20 room mansion is only $1325 a month? I pay a minimum of $300 a month for a 3 bedroom non-mansion, and in the summer it goes up to about $500. (no price-gouging there) If I had a 20 room mansion, it would be about $3333 a month.
Looks like Al Gore isn't doing too bad. And Reliant Energy is robbing me like a stereo store in a race riot.
Maybe I am just a carbon Sasquatch.

10 things that make me crazy....
10. People who use the word "Irregardless".
9. People named Tom or Jeff that spell their name Thom or Geoff.
8. "We have to fight them over there, so we don't have to fight them over here."
7. People who are against abortion, but are also against birth control and sex education.
6. pseudo-celebrities that are famous even though they have absolutely no talent.
(i.e. Paris Hilton, Anna Nicole Smith, Nicole Richie)
5. rap music made after 1995.
4. bands that were good when they were on drugs and alcohol, but suck now that they are clean.
(i.e. Pearl Jam, Aerosmith, Metallica)
3. giant multimedia companies that ensure that the same crappy songs are played on all the
stations over and over again.
2. evangelical christians who believe that hating gays and keeping people from getting abortions
is more important than helping poor people and preserving our environment.
1. "We're doing this to preserve the sanctity of marriage."
While this surely isn't a complete list, nor is it in order according to the intensity of my hatred, it is what was irritating me today....

What a dick.
"If our coalition withdrew before Iraqis could defend themselves, radical factions would battle for dominance. The violence would likely spread throughout the country and be very difficult to contain. Having tasted victory in Iraq, the (militants) would look for new missions. Many would head for Afghanistan to fight alongside the Taliban" - "Deadeye" Dick Cheney
Please allow me to retort.
"If our coalition didn't invade Iraq, there would be no radical factions battling for dominance. There would be no violence throughout the country, and Saddam would still be contained. Having tasted defeat in Afghanistan, the militants would see the error of their quest. Many would head for Saudi Arabia to be reunited with their families, because the Taliban wouldn't exist anymore. Also, with the 500 billion dollars we didn't spend, we could actually pay for a decent universal healthcare system."- Rickrocket
The frightening thing about this is that people actually agree with him, and disagree with me. They probably TiVo all of the Anna Nicole Smith trial coverage, also.
Can you tell I am irritated today, working on my day off?

Why did I do it?
OK, it is my fault. But who knew? When I was wishing a horrible painful death to the abomination that was Anna Nicole Smith, who knew it would come true? Who could have predicted that the fulfillment of a casual wish, not a whopper like "Win the Lottery" or "Put Dick Cheney in prison in Guantanamo Bay", would cause such torture to millions. If I was annoyed by the constant airing of "Trimspa, baby!" and reruns of the Anna Nicole Reality(?) Show, it is negligable compared to the constant breaking news about where this idiot is going to be buried. Why is it news that 87 men might be the father of her child? What makes her so special? It's not like there is a shortage of dumb, drug-addled sluts in the world, and hers is a fascinating, unique story.
I am making a new wish. I wish that Anna Nicole Smith would come back to life, but that she would look like that girl that was in your high school class, whose name you couldn't remember without looking in the yearbook. Included in this wish is that Anna Nicole comes back as a very smart person who takes care of their children.
If my wish comes true, we should never, ever hear about Anna Nicole Smith again.
One can only hope.

Hello, everyone!!!
I was motivated to start a blog by my friend, Supersnark, and by her endless wit. I can only hope to make my little corner of the internet as fun and interesting as hers. Anyway...I have so much to say and I think this will be a great outlet for the cure of my writing jones, and all the ideas and frustrations I have bouncing around in my head. Please feel free to comment an anything I write, but don't comment on my sorry looking blog page until after I fix it. :)
