My Statement

"Let me emphatically say that I am not anti-Facebook (Fleecebook), anti-smart phone, anti-Microsoft, anti-Apple, anti-Google or anti-Internet. I do believe, though, that the consumer is being ripped off of his privacy, identity and purchase history. We are being herded into a Facebook corner where what we "Like" and where we go physically and on the net will be scrutinized and sold numerous times to actually corrode and erode our culture while tempting us only with convenience, high tech and flashing video screens. The unsuspecting consumers need to be aware..." - Gary Lapman

Nonfocusable Friday....

Watched "Taking Woodstock" last evening.  It was a very well done retrospect on how the whole Woodstock  event came to be.  It might even be based on reality.  For what ever it is worth, it did allow revisiting a part of my past and the culture that we all experienced even if we weren't there.  In many ways, it was very funny as well.

Tomorrow is the Summer Solstice Parade downtown.  They usually have all the floats end up at a park for further viewing.  Also there are bands playing and vendor booths, et cetera.  This year the park is open today as well as tomorrow.  I suspect that the city permits for two-days are more expensive than one, so the city probably decided that it wouldn't cost them any more to require that every vendor... buy the two day permit.  At any rate, we are going down there after work today, hoping to see something without dealing with the crowds.  I'm sure it will be interesting.

Well when I got home, Terre said she was really tired, and I admitted that I had trouble focusing all day because I was tired.  I was just going because she wanted to.  So, essentially, we are not going.  She is going to the parade tomorrow, and then to the park afterward.


Confusing isn't it.  Tori and Aidan are cooking us dinner tonight (wow!) instead. So the level of interest is still there.







Not the way I remember them:

Mary had a little skirt
with splits right up the sides
and every time that Mary walked
the boys could see her Thighs
Mary had another skirt
twas split right up the front
but she didn't wear that one very often.

Mary had a little lamb
Her father shot it dead.
Now it goes to school with her,
between two chunks of bread.

Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet,
her clothes all tattered and torn.
It wasn't the spider that crept up beside her,
But Little Boy Blue and his horn.

Simple Simon met a Pieman,
going to the fair.
Said Simple Simon to the Pieman,
What have you got there?
Said the Pieman unto Simon,
Pies, you dickhead.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the kings horses and all the kings men,
said "F*ck him, He's only an egg.

Mary had a little lamb
It ran into a pylon.
10,000 volts went up it's ass
and turned it's wool to nylon

Georgie Porgy pudding and pie.
Kissed the girls and made them cry.
When the boys came out to play,
He kissed them too, cause he was gay.

Jack and Jill went up the hill
to have a little fun.
Stupid Jill forgot her pill
and now they have a son.

Old Mother Hubbard
Went to the cupboard
to fetch her poor dog a bone.
When she bent over
Rover took over,
And gave her a bone of his own.

Little Boy Blew.
Hey. He needed the money.

 
Always give 100% at work
12% on Mondays. 23% on Tuesdays. 40% on Wednesdays. 20% on Thursdays. 5% on Fridays. And remember...

When you're having a really bad day and it seems like people are trying to piss you off. Remember it takes 42 to muscles to frown but it only takes 4 muscles to extend your middle finger and flip them off. Now get back to work.




BP announced today that they will no longer hire Cajuns to assist in clean-up efforts. Thibodeaux, Boudreaux, and Fontenot were told to clean as many brown pelicans as they could. So far, Thibodeaux has cleaned and gutted 56 birds while Boudreaux made the roux and Fontenot cooked the rice.



A Russian arrives in New York City as a new immigrant to the United States. He stops the first person he sees walking down the street and says, "Thank you Mr. American for letting me into this country, giving me housing, food stamps, free medical care, and a free education!"

The passerby says, "You are mistaken, I am a Mexican." The man goes on and encounters another passerby. "Thank you for having such a beautiful country here in America."

The person says, "I not American, I Vietnamese."

The new arrival walks farther, and the next person he sees he stops, shakes his hand, and says, "Thank you for wonderful America!

That person puts up his hand and says, "I am from Middle East. I am not American."

He finally sees a nice lady and asks, "Are you an American?"

She says, "No, I am from Africa."

Puzzled, he asks her, "Where are all the Americans?"

The African lady checks her watch and says, "Probably at work."
