At the moment, this journal is friends-only. I do post publicly from time to time. In my journal, I post my day-to-day activities mostly, sprinkled with my thoughts on things. I like to think I'm a funny person and a nice person. I don't cuss and I leave that for if I'm really mad. Thanks for checking me out! ;)

This is an old one, but it still makes me laugh. [10:27 PM, Friday, November 19th, 2004]
SIPPING VODKA

A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly speak. After mass he asked the monsignor how he had done. The monsignor replied, " When I am worried about getting nervous on the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the water glass. If I start to get nervous, I take a sip."

So next Sunday, he took the monsignor's advice. At the beginning of the sermon, he got nervous and took a drink. He proceeded to talk up a storm.

Upon his return to his office after the mass, he found the following note on the door:

  1. Sip the vodka, don't gulp.
  2. There are 10 commandments, not 12.
  3. There are 12 disciples, not 10.
  4. Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.
  5. Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet his ass.
  6. We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J.C.
  7. The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referred to as Daddy, Junior and the spook.
  8. David slew Goliath, he did not kick the sh*t out of him.
  9. When David was hit by a rock and was knocked off his donkey, don't say
    he was stoned off his ass.
  10. We do not refer to the cross as the "Big T."
  11. When Jesus broke the bread at the last supper he said, "take this and eat it for it is my body." He did not say "Eat me".
  12. The Virgin Mary is not called "Mary with the Cherry".
  13. The recommended grace before a meal is not: Rub-A-Dub-Dub thanks for
    the grub, Yeah God.
  14. Next Sunday there will be a taffy pulling contest at ST.Peter's not a peter pulling contest at St. Taffy's.

LJ tip: How to opt out of LJ picture scripts [3:43 PM, Saturday, November 13th, 2004]
Thanks to [info]mbarrick:

Go to the admin console and type the command:

set latest_optout yes

This prevents your public posts from appearing on latest.bml, latest-rss.bml, and latest-img.bml. The scripts use these to get the latest images. Once you have opted out of the latest* feeds, not even you public posts will get picked up by the script sites.

If you decide you want to turn this back on for any reason the command is:

set latest_optout no

I was reading Eaters of the Dead and Devin told me they made a movie from the book called The 13th Warrior where the Arab is played by Antonio Banderas.

I have to see this. That's like having Arnold Schwarzenegger play Milo Thatch in Disney's Atlantis.

If I could draw, I'd draw a political cartoon. Bush and Kerry on the ground fighting, using each other's words to kill the other (ie Kerry using Bush's words to kill Bush). Meanwhile, a person representing America would be sitting off to the side, ignored and bored. Perhaps watching "Sex and the City" on DVD.

http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/10/20/theresa.apologizes.laura/index.html
"I think it's very nice that [Teresa Heinz Kerry] apologized, but in some ways the apology almost made the comment worse because she seems to have forgotten that being a mother is a real job," Hughes told CNN. "I think it's just unfortunate to try to disparage women who have made the choice of making their families a priority."


http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/10/19/robertson.bush.iraq/index.html
"But [Bush] needs to come forward and answer a very simple question: Is Pat Robertson telling the truth when he said you didn't think there'd be any casualties, or is Pat Robertson lying?"


Jeebus effing crackers. Ms. Kerry is disparaging all stay-at-moms by of acknowledging Ms. Bush's job record? Bush has to "come forth" about every conversation he's had?? This is getting has been freaking ridiculous.

How can you be undecided? Well, it's very easy. [9:11 AM, Sunday, October 17th, 2004]
http://images.ucomics.com/comics/db/2004/db041017.gif
Doonesbury asks today how can there still be undecided voters? They'd have to be living in caves because the choices are just so obvious.

Really? I'm voting for Kerry because he's not Bush. Let me be honest on that. Kerry and I also have the same views on domestic issues, but seeing as we're both Democratic, I'm not surprised. I wish I had a better reason. So I watched the debates, read the paper. "OK, Kerry. Give me what you got. Show me why I should feel more confident and bit better about voting for you. Yes, you're not Bush. I think I got that coming here. Give me more."

But I was disappointed. We've got two candidates that fluffed their ways around answers to very pointed questions. We've got candidates, that instead of telling us what they have planned for us, are instead wasting our time and theirs spinning the other guy's every single freaking word to his advantage.

I watched O'Reilly on the Jon Stewart. Did you know that this ultra-conservative opininated asshole is also UNDECIDED??? (You can watch it here: http://www.comedycentral.com/tv_shows/thedailyshowwithjonstewart/) OK, if one of the most informed, albeit incorrect, man does not know who he is voting for, then how can you get mad that the average American who doesn't spend his working day watching news is undecided?

O'Reilly did make a good point. In the midst of talking about tax breaks, he said that the people who know the working class and understands us as we understand them, can't afford to run. So we have two silver-spooners running against each other.

So please don't tell me that the choice is ever so obvious. You vote for Bush, you at least know what you're getting into, but if you don't want anymore of lies, war, and a America struggling under the weight of its own administration, then vote Kerry. We know what we will rid ourselves of, but what will we get?

[ mood | missing Devin ]

I just finished watching Win a Date with Tad Hamilton. I thought I got a campy comedy that pits good old Southern boy against the sleeze from Hollywood to win the girl next door.

It was actually much better than I had expected. I almost teared up at the end. Tad Hamilton (Josh Duhamel) is sleeze that changes into a real person and really falls in love. It was more story than slapstick comedy. And you can't go wrong with Nathan Lane and Sean Hayes.

The only thing I grimaced at was that there were scenes with Paris Hilton, but thankfully, thankfully, thankfully, they were in the deleted scenes.

Jon Stewart vs. Crossfire [8:10 PM, Friday, October 15th, 2004]
http://www.ifilm.com/filmdetail?ifilmid=2652831&htv;=12

Bowtie guy learned his debate techniques from the Internet. If the guy doesn't agree with you, then attack him personally. "You're not right because...because...you're not funny!" They totally dismissed what he had to say.

STEWART: You know, the interesting thing I have is, you have a responsibility to the public discourse, and you fail miserably.

CARLSON: You need to get a job at a journalism school, I think.

STEWART: You need to go to one.

The thing that I want to say is, when you have people on for just knee-jerk, reactionary talk...

CARLSON: Wait. I thought you were going to be funny. Come on. Be funny.

STEWART: No. No. I'm not going to be your monkey.

[ music | Take Me Out - Franz Ferdinand ]

My new favorite song: "Take Me Out" by Franz Ferdinand. If I had the money, I'd go see them play in San Fran. The music video is done by a talented graphics group. They did the opening credits to "Catch Me If You Can".

On the "showreel" click the square with "Franz Ferdinand".

Oh, to be Blacky... [11:18 PM, Friday, August 27th, 2004]
[ mood | surprised ]

So we're sitting outside of Starbucks with Blacky, when two parents with their kid in a stroller walk by. The mom asks her daughter if she's been good enough to get hot chocolate. Blacky raises his hand and says, "I have!" The parents laugh and we all laugh and they continue on their way. We hear the mom say to her kid, "He'll drink your hot chocolate for you."

We continue chatting and ten minutes later, someone puts a cup in front of Blackey. The father had gotten Blacky a hot chocolate.
