Acient Music: Again

My parody of "Ancient Music" by American Poet, Ezra Pound (Lustra collection, 1913-1915) http://www.poemhunter.com/best-poems/ezra-pound/ancient-music/:
Mornin is icumen in,
Lhude sing Goddamm,
Thootpaste drop and staineth tub,
And how the wife doth nag!
Sing: Goddamm.
Skiddeth foot and sloppeth floor,
An ague hath my toe.
Freezeth shower, shrinketh privates,
Damm you; Sing: Goddamm.
Goddamm, Goddamm, 'tis why I am, Goddamm,
So 'gainst the mornin's balm.
Sing goddamm, damm, sing goddamm,
Sing goddamm, sing goddamm, DAMM.

A sucker(s) is Blogged every minute.

I posted the following on Zen Habits. Oh! nooo, I'm begining to hear it Ta, Ta,da,Dat,Ta, tat,tat..(The Nutcracker Suite for Solo Piano Op. 71a)
http://zenhabits.net/2009/08/3-jedi-mind-tricks-to-feel-better-in-a-nanosecond/#more-3780

Wow What a great Blog!
It is sooo full of optimism, good cheer, and puppies, rainbows and unicorns!
But what it really reminds me is of the scams, that pump you full of ideas that are supposed to transform you into a superhuman. Most of the people leave comments that lead you to their own sites, where Lo and Behold! You are treated to something (not tangible) that is supposed to fix your life.
Come on which Scientologist, vegan hippie, new age guru is behind this dribble?
I propose a challenge; since all you self-discovering, life coaching gurus (I, more than anyone I know live by the principles of personal accountability, so please don't say I’m the one who has to take the steps that will bring me to success) have the answers; contact me transform me I'm open. Think of it, what a greater achievement then to help a miserable grouch such as myself.

Hip, Hip...Hypocrisy!

Just when I though I would be able to sing again in a manly baritone; comes the story of Plaxico Buress   http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=ArwUJzL2E6V6ijfoyUnZtL8dsLYF?slug=ap-burress-weaponscharges&prov=ap&type=lgns&start_row=1#comments

and well...ma get the bench vice oil, cuz I’m going for a ride. 

People seem to have lost perspective when it comes to this case. This is an obvious abuse of power by the D.A. and Mayor. I have read most comments in this forum; and say that while valid points are made; most of the postings are from a sports fan point of view. I think most are angry at what they see as rich sports personality acting like a spoil brat. Well, the keyword seems to be “rich” and fans think that because they stupidly pony-up obscene amounts of cash, they should dictate the behavior of an individual in a free society. Fans grow frakking-up. And don't pay so much money on sports. The issue is clear, Burress made a series of bad choices that led him to where he is now:
Taking the gun without a valid permit. Taking a plea deal in NYC (NYC jurors are notorious for taking side of one of their own) One has to wonder why the Mayor and NYC DA went so far. Lets take a look:
Both the Mayor and the DA are white males, over 60; rich have an apparent blatant record of supporting white cops involved in shooting black males (black cops as well) always in favor of the white cops. (At worst they seem to get retraining, why not the same for Burress?) Now they claim that they needed to send a message to out of control sports celebrities. Really, other than being a jerk (as I read it not a sports fan. had to look at burgess history before posting) Burress had not been accused of any crimes, was trained in the use of handguns was licensed, and is a family man. Those 2 should just wave the confederate flag, and sing we put that uppity BOY in his place. Seems like a harsh statement on the 2 well consider; Morgenthau has been DA since 1977 and has been re-elected seven times. He has not been opposed in a general election since 1985 and at 90 carries all the dogmatic views of someone his age - The DA office is in need of transfusion of new blood.
According to Bloomberg, Burress is another spoil rich Celeb that thinks the rules doesn’t apply to or should be bent for him. Did he (Bloomy) forget his recent violations when ” Asked if he'd be interested in making it 16 years at City Hall, Bloomberg responded, "The law does not permit it." That's true - but it's also true that the limit was two four-year terms before he made a massive push to get the City Council to change the rules, even though voters twice said two terms were all a mayor should get". (BY Celeste Katz DAILY NEWS CITY HALL BUREAU) http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2009/07/31/2009-07-31_mike_might_even_mull_a_fourth_term.html
I have only respect for the law; but when it fails, as in this case; I feel a message needs to be sent specifically to the geriatric duo. If you can rape the law then Burress, who is mostly harmless should get a get out of jail free card.

No, we cannot just get along!

I don't know how I get into these things - I guess the universe is a b-tch that wants to keep me grouchy. The following is my response to the most intellectually challenged website(EVER for now, maybe) my response is below.

Posted on www.topix.com


What a great post!

Yeah smelly, ugly, non-showering, interbred, turban wearing, monkeys. Whether Hindu or some other kind of other dude; Pakistani, Hindustani they are all Stanis to me.
They should go back to the muck they came from- while they're at take the g_d damn, dirty ass Puerto Ricans, worthless Cuban cockroaches and all other spics. But hey lets continue
And wish that they also take White Crakers, Negros, Chinks, Pollacks, Jews (never forget the Jews, they certainly will never let you) the Das boot German Nazis(Ay)rabs, (I)talians and the other 6,000,000,000 Humans alive today! For if just one of the different kinds of people alive today is inferior or worthless, then so are we all as a species.
I have never met a person Indian or otherwise, that would make me condemn a whole race! I admit freely to be one of the non-Indian men that is married to an Indian woman, and to Mr. Patel and others that defame women in general-be, careful because there is a special place in hell waiting for you! As for mine she is of the most beautiful guise and demeanor-be jealous.

Samir Patel= Hero until page 10 of this forum, because he embodied (in all his splendid stupidity)
The most important of all rights in a free society- freedom of speech.

Samir Patel= A spineless coward on page 10 when he states "Yes you are right. I should stop insulting the Germans, I am very sorry to insult you people and if I hurt your feelings. I don't hate the Germans in fact I secretly consider the Germans to be an Indo Germanic Aryans and admire their culture and contributions. Moreover, I hold zero spite towards the Englishman whom are also Indo-European. I believe my rage towards the Germans is the result of a few bad experiences with ignorant German people when I visited Berlin a few years back.
Sincere apologies".

Seems that somewhere along the way SP remembered that Indians; particularly Gujaratis (99.9% are Patels)know each other, or someone that knows you to a scary degree of certainty. The fear alone probably turned him ghostly white. He knows he would get a lot of anger directed at him from the Indian community.
Undoubtedly he is a bit dishonest when he claims that it was bad encounters with a few Germans while on vacation that made him so venomous. If you read his post you will see a pattern that targets white males, this is what a guy does when he loses a girl to an other guy: SORRY YOUR CHICK LEFT YOU MAN!

Samir Patel-has been transformed into the perfection on page 10 when he apologized because that's when he regains his humanity.

Other notables on this forum:

Otto Von Barron, and musician = some of the few human worth ignoring.

Elbebek- you are getting close to goodness, but there is darkness in you. Hope you will shift to the light.

Teutonic Prince
Yours, sir /madam is the only voice that is evolved in this forum. You are non-judgmental (hard to do with this crowd) compassionate and understanding. Truly you are worth knowing as human being.

Finally, whether moron or reasonable kind, a lot of people seem preoccupied by the swastika. Swastika= Iranian, The earliest consistent use of swastika motifs in the archaeological record date to the Neolithic Era. The symbol was found on a number of shards in the Khuzestan province of Iran. End of story.

Like it or not, we are all descendants of Africans( That's right folks we all got a little bit of James Brown in us- Whoa-oa-oa! I feel good, I knew that I would, now....)that spread though the entire world giving rise to what Forensic Anthropologists generally recognize as the three races. Mongoloid, Negroid, and Caucasoid. End of story.

We, Humans whether believer of scientific principles or the divine are the Demons or Saints. We are capable of the most unthinkable evils or the most pure acts of love. We need to decide, are we going to work towards an Utopian world? Or destroy ourselves over stupid differences in superficial anatomy?

Me thinks the good part will prevail, You?

Mortgage Cake

This story (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32186013/) makes me want to put my scrotum on a bench vice and squeeze; until I can hit mezzo-soprano notes. The uplifting tale floating around is about a NJ woman that came up with a brilliant plan to get out of foreclosure, so what would set your friendly blog grouch off?
  • Angela Logan tries to get sympathy from people, when in fact she made bad decisions and now wants people to bail her out.
  • She even ripped of the original cake apple spice. She should have made a banana nut cake!
Here is the story:
"Ms. Logan had a home construction project to repair storm damage and make other improvements to her home. The contractor turned out to be less than honest and hit Logan with thousands of dollars in overcharges she hadn’t planned on. Then an agency that represented Logan in her work as an actor went under, taking thousands of dollars she had coming to her with it".(Mike CelizicTODAYShow.com contributor)

Now all of as sudden, people flock to hand 40 bucks of their hard earned money to help her get out of her mess. What is wrong with that you might say? Then consider the mortgage crisis. It was born out of the greed of financial institutions and individuals that, knowingly purchased Homes they could not afford. Well you know how the story the goes: the government decided to give all those bozo our money to bail them out.

Now it's people like Ms Logan that coming up with excuses- I got ripped off by my contractor and my job didn't pay me! So buy my expensive cake and bail me out of my blunder. Boo hoo! Hey, why not help all saps that have a sad tale. What’s next? Are people are going to start making cakes for any occasion for example: I got a parking ticket- $40 cake, I need to do the laundry $50 cake, a butterfly farted $60 cake. All this is a weird version of stone soup, except at the end of this tale you end with a pricey cake and get to feel good(if your dumb to fall for this scam). If you want to give your hard earned money to people that made stupid chooses; fine, I would love to get $49.99 from you.  In return I will send you in my finest hand writing, a thankful note. If this sounds stupid well it is (and so is giving people handouts when they make bad, selfish, financial choices). The best way to feel good about yourself is to stop enabling people and make your own damn cake. You may even find a con and make yourself some money.
