Friday Fives

1. What is your nearest lake or river?

Cherry Creek. It runs through the neighborhood, which brings the dogs much joy.

2. What’s your lucky number?

33 > not sure why, I have just always been drawn to that number

3. Would you rather . . .be forced to preface everything you say with the phrase “Tuck it in” under threat of being slapped, or have a magnetic head?

before I answer that, tuck it in, I would say the probably the second. See, speakers and electric guitars both work through magnetics. That being said, wouldn't my head be an awesome speaker? I agree.

4. Ever know anyone who appeared on a game show?

no

5. This morning: was it easy or difficult to start the day?

quite unpleasant, that is all I will say about that. Quack Quack.

priceless

I was watching CNN this morning and they were interviewing the virgins in line waiting for the new Sony game console thingy to come out. Also, I think there is an additional Star Wars sequel they may be waiting for. Anyhow, they had a reporter lady out there interviewing the virigins. She interviewed #s 20 & 21 in line. They had been in line for days. She asked #21 how he would feel if there were only 20 consoles available. Dude in line shrugged it off as a joke.

Cut to lady interviewing the Best Buy manager explaining they only have 20 of the premium consoles. True story. Seems Sony completely lied to all their distributors and have not nearly enough consoles as they promised. Hmmm, when else has this happened? Oh yeah, every single other time Sony has released a product. They won't even have enough to fullfill more than 40% of the prepaid orders they took.

So, even if you already reserved and bought and paid for your new Sony console... you aren't picking it up anytime soon. I haven't seen someone treat their core constituency this badly since the Republican party.

Racism in America

I tried not to look the other way. I try to be the best person I can, and lead others in the same way. I try in my heart to believe that America is a tolerant and good society. God, how I tried. I can't be silent anymore, America. We live in a racist and judgemental society that has two laws: one for whites, one for blacks.

In Florida, 9 year old Jimmy Stevens is a 'hero'. Read about it here. Jimmy's mom passed out driving the family and Jimmy was able to safely steer the car to the side of the road. What's more, he called 911 and guided them to the scene so his unconscious mother could recieve immediate medical attention. So they find Jimmy behind the wheel of his mothers car and he is a 'hero'... yet they find me behind the wheel of my mothers car and it is 'manslaughter'. Why? Because Jimmy is black and I am white!

At least, that is the story from the liberal pro black press. Our media goes out of its way to find great stories about blacks, and to rosy up the ones aren't ready for prime time yet. Know what else, I have seen the picture of our 'hero' Jimmy. Jimmy is cute as hell, so I guess the law doesn't apply to him.

What's my beef? Let me tell you the story about a young writer who got caught in a similar situation in traffic on the side of the road. Did they call me a hero? Did they call me a lifesaver? Did I get to go to Red Lobster? No sir. I got to spend the night in jail, all because I am white!

You read it here, Jimmy gets a hero's welcome... and I got charged with:

felony evading

driving under the influence

assault on a police officer

felony menacing

using a car as a weapon

Did you read that last one? Come on, 'using a car as a weapon'? Doesn't that sound a little made up? My lawyer assures me it is a 'deadly serious charge'. They wouldn't even let me use my laptop in prison. I have to write this on their shitty Commodore 64 in the library. Don't worry, the black kids probably all have new Dells. I can't say for sure because they seperated me from the others after I incited another 'race riot'. Way to go, Jimmy Stevens, I hope you enjoy your free ride from society.
