-

just saw it on the tube...oil has miraculously vanished...skimmers are being withdrawn... bp has already stopped paying claims in florida...not so bad...a lot of chicken littles...bp execs already trying for the prize... "there's alot of oil down there...we're gonna hafta look into getting it...in the not too distant future...a government talking head saying..."after all the gulf is a huge body of water...never underestimate natures ability to heal it self"...
are you fucking kidding me...an oil spill visible from space...an oil spill the size of three eastern states...millions apon millions of gallons of crude pumpted 24/7 for three months...are we that fuckin stupid...do they really think we will buy that load of bullshit...what about the destroyed wetlands...the gooey shallow sea bottom...the infected Sargasso sea...the billions of organisms now carrying petroleum or dispersant in their cells...they...the oil industry...our legislators are hoping to get that money train goin again..but hey... do you want shrimp or oysters or grouper caught in the gulf...not me...i feel for the fisherman and shrimpers...but the ecology of the gulf...unknown shite...ASSUMING the talking head is right...every creature has ingested all this poison and is ready to give us a wonderful genetic return on those big oil investments...okay i am reasonable...they can re-open deepwater horizon when...hmmm, lets see...okay i got it when they hang the bp and halliburton board of directors as well as any senator or congressman that voted for the deregulation of drilling platforms...in the city square of every gulf community decimated by this blight...and only after their performance bonuses are distributed to the working poor in these states...sounds sorta Bolshevik...doesn't it...well the midevil rules seem to be needed these days...maybe even old west...hang the horse thieves outside of town...then everyone knows what we do to you... when you fuck us...

irritation to this old man's sandy taint

As I age, i find that I am far less accepting of life's little faux pas.  I am surly.  I growl. I snap at unsuspecting irritants.  I look in the mirror and see  what my life has pulled down on me.  Wrinkles, saddle bags, hair in very strange palaces.  I expect things...simple things to proceed as planned.  If my cellular bill, for example, is due on the 24th, I expect it to be taken out on that date. Not the 21st, because it falls on a weekend.  And when I call the huge multi-national  corporation, which I hate, to question why this simple act, cannot happen...when i question the scripted autonoton on the other end of the line...when i point out that the weekend constitutes no variation to a computer tasked with taking that money on the date in question...I am told, snubbingly, that that's how it works...I point out that the computer has no weekend plans, no beach party to attend, no dinner plans with friends.  That in fact the only fucking thing that this program, written for

Today is your memorial service.  Today your friends gather at historic Gracie's to tell tales, laugh and drink to your memory.  I worked for Gracie, thanks to you, sneaky Pete and Steve.  Its fitting, a legendary spot, to pay tribute to the man that inspired me and unknown others to go chase our dreams.  I loved when we cooked together and I found my passion, standing next to you.  You shared your love and unfathomably incredible knowledge of music with me.  I found Jason Ricci, Eric Lindell, Los Lobos and David Migden in our "MO, wait till you hear this moments".  I endured your love of all things Zappa and I survived Zappa torture.  To those unfamiliar with this, it involved the can, copious amounts of inhaleables and song after song of your archives. Songs stopped only by you, translating the nuances that a rookie like me, most certainly missed.  The only rescue was SuSu and her, "honey enough! his eyes are glazed over and he has to drive up the hill". We s
