What a morning it has been! Already I have concocted a new word for everyone – my morning bike ride was real heady, you dig? The new word is Humanical, or Humanicle, I’m not sure which spelling I prefer. I haven’t come up with a definition for it yet. I suppose I’ll save that for my bike ride home. But If you have any suggestions please don’t hesitate to offer your linguistic analysis.
Inspired by legions, The Missis quit her job last friday. She’s as happy as a priest on Sunday. My new name for her is “pajama girl” as it is a goal of hers to try and get through a whole day without getting out of her PJ’s, A very ambitious goal for the newly unemployed if you ask me. She even has an unemployment mentor, Tony, who may have helped in the inspiration of the cause. I suspect she wont be the last, just about everyone she breaks the news to says one of two things, “Damn that is so cool”, or “I wish I had the guts to do that”. I suspect only good things will come from this change and hope that anyone else contemplating the move does so with grace. If you need a mentor I could probably hook you up.
People keep asking me, “yo ‘jets where are the online spots for finding things out about this WAR deal that we be heading towards?” And so I tell ’em: Well you can’t get it all from one source, but lately I’ve been addicted to watching satellite snaps of US Airbase build-up and the supposed satellite images of nuclear sites in Iraq, which after being investigated by actual people on the ground turn out to by mushroom growing plants. That makes sense. The sanctions probably don’t allow for the importation of tasty fungi, and so they have to manufacture their own, which we then bomb, cause we think the ‘shrooms are like missiles or something. So, yeah, I’m a visual learner and the Satellite images are a godsend for people like me. I also like this War on Iraq page o’ links, mostly because I like to read what Jimmy Carter has to say on just about any subject. I wrote a note to Jimmy Carter when he lost to Reagan in 1980. I wrote it on that paper with one inch tall rules on them, so the letters were really big and painstakingly thought out. I remember being really bummed when my letter was answered not by Jimmy, but by Reagan. It was a crass form letter from the white house with the presidential seal on it and a unconvincing 2×3 glossy of the jelly bean actor himself. For better or for worse, I think this was really the pinnacle event in deciding my political affiliation for my remaining days. It also left me with a warm feeling for the ‘loser’ the ‘underdog’ and the ones who get beat.
Other times people ask me, “yo ‘fro, where do you go to get the latest news on J-Lo and Ben’s budding love affair, and where can I find out more about Kevin Smith’s new movie?” And so’s I tell em: Yo concerned citizen, I get all that and more from Kevin Smith’s own ruminations on his site for his new movie Jersey Girl.
