"We are the creatures that know and know too much. That leaves us with such a burden again we have a choice, to laugh or cry. No other animal does either. We do both, depending on the season and the need."

Re your journal for last Mon (sorry not been round for a while frown ) - "what goes around comes around" may be a cliche, but an apt one. That was good to read biggrin

Hooray for karma!

The woman responsible for laying my father and 30 other empolyees off (as well as eliminatng several job openings, including the PR job I applied for) has been sacked.

My father could barley contain his glee. I found it amusing.

I went to High School with this guy. Didn't like him then. Like him less now. The images of what he did to that woman don't do it justice. the clips on the news were nauseating.
another story about it here.

Went and saw Collateral on Friday. I enjoyed it a lot. I was especially impressed with Jamie Fox; his performance in the film has me looking forward to seeing him in the Ray Charles movie coming out.

I missed the last 30 seconds of the movie or so. Damn 33 oz. beers. I'm not complaining about the fact that I'm lucky to have a multiplex...

Strange story for the day: First of all, let me start by saying that I can't fucking stand Tom Green, Johnny Knoxville or anyone else that finds humor in randomly ambushing people with obscene/offensive behavior. I find it a bit too juvenile for my liking.

So...on to the story. I walk down to the local library branch three times a week or so. It's helped...

Disturbing encounter - I expect he felt his show - or whatever - gave him his 'justification' in trying to use the public as unpaid stooges; I don't have any patience with idiots or nuisances & would have reacted in a similar way to you. I don't see where the 'humour' is.
forkandles:
Re what you said about gardening - I'm not that patient at that either, it's more resignation. I wait for the right time of year, sow the seeds, wait for them to produce whatever & they fail. That's a whole year without whatever it is. You're right! What the fuck am I doing in gardening?

I like the animation ('avatar'?) Where do you go for yours?
And how do you download them so they work? I just get a collection of still frames. Duh!

I am disgusted that I live in a state where people choose to make an amendment to the state's constitution banning that which is already illegal in this state. It sickens me that a whopping 70%+ of the population is this fucking homophobic.

I don't care where you stand on the gay marriage issue, but a constitution is for establishing rights of the citizens, not...

Ah yup.

There is too much interference by assholes on things which harm no-one. They may 'disapprove' of the 'deviant' behaviour/subject though it doesn't affect them in any way - but they stick their bloody noses in anyway. Or 'they' refuse to consider introducing something enlightened or beneficial because of their stupid prejudices.
sorry to read about your Dad & friend btw. That sucks!

If you live in Missouri, don't forget to vote HELL NO on
Amendment 2!

In other news, my father got laid off today frown mad
decedent:
my father got laid off many times in my life. at one point we were so poor he had to take a 5am paper route. now he runs one of the most successful motorcycle shops in new england, which is awesome. so, good things will come.
johnclement:
These marriage amendments are so lame.

Sorry about your dad. My dad was laid off (actually fired, but they called it laid off) when I was 7. I don't remember it very well, only how frightening it was to see my dad in a position like that.

For a change I'm actually not bitching about St Louis. Even though The Cure, The Pixies and MC5 are all skipping St Louis on their current tours, StL has put something pretty cool together. I just got back from a free Wyclef Jean performance. Every Thursday, Friday and Saturday they're holding a series of free concerts under the St Louis Arch.

And unlike the usual...

Two days off.

Don't know what to do with myself. Except to try to make a dent in my books to read pile that never seems to get smaller - it only grows.

Well O'Reilly did win two Peabody awards. Oh wait, it was a Polk. Oh yeah and Inside Edition won after O'Reilly left the show/

One of the things I miss most about college is having the time to read. I also have a stack of about 10 books to get to.
