So this week has been interesting...lets see navy yard shooting...house republicans pledging to shut down the government unless they can de-fund Obama care...Pakistan is releasing a top Taliban official into the cess- pool that is Afghanistan...I mean what else can we do wrong...or could we as a species do anything right... in a nation where gun violence is only topped by emerging African nations committing genocide...there is a large portion of the populace...voters ..that will fight to have a gun ..in their house..in their car...under their pillows or even in their kids teachers desk drawers...because if only bad guys have guns then we are lost as a country...where were all those gun owners when this guy was walking around killing people... or the asshole in the elementary school..the high school...the college campus...runnin in the opposite fucking direction...the only people running toward the sociopath were our police...the only americans that should possess a weapon..the people we pay to protect us...forget the twenty 22 or so deaths in Chicago...just because its Chicago...and the cubs suck...or the guy who goes ballistic at the navy yard...children...neighbors...federal workers...all dead because we are too stupid to outlaw weapons...that we, as a nation are clearly too fucked up to own...and while we are at it lets bring our fucked nation to a screeching halt because a minority of illiterate fucks want to block health care for the rest of us....we all know Obama care is flawed like a pimply faced teenager...but if the "obstructicans" ever actually entered into a conversation about how they think we can keep citizens from getting their flu shots in the emergency rooms...we might actually accomplish something...look we all know that the insurance lobbies will sell us all for medical experiments before they let anyone cap the cost of what they sell us...meanwhile across the world...the knuckle dragging twelfth century muslims loosely known as the Taliban...get the puppet government of Pakistan to release the highest ranking ..not dead member of that taciturn consortium of reprobate haters loose under the guise of healing wounds between the two countries...both of which would have a real hard time explaining to any god they would like to stand in front of...why he should not wipe them or us off the face of the earth like a lovebug on the windshield..  so  maybe the rapture is coming..the bus will be driven  by no one..and honestly  who would miss us..any of 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
