Well, my favorite TV show “The Shield ” has come to an end. I wrote a review about it awhile back. I got addicted to it years ago when channel surfing one night when I was bored.
They more or less wrapped up the characters as best they could while keeping the violent crime and disturbing images rolling on the last show. Those guys have come to be my friends 
Sorry to see their lives just got so screwed up.
The last show was actually quite depressing. To see that knucklehead Shane kill his wife and kid’s and then take his own life was just pitiful… And the fact that Vic lied to his loyal partner and let him go on to be convicted of all of his wrongdoings was pitiful too.
Oh, you could say that Vic’s life got screwed too even though he saved his own skin. He now has to work at a desk for years and his family got put into protective custody to protect them from his twisted justice kind of ways. So now he NEVER get’s to see his wife and kid’s again. Gee he always seemed to put his family first…Whatever…. That silly guy.
I noticed the black cop’s character which they let fade away a few season’s ago was taking a hard look at some gay guys that were happily chasing each other around on the streets. I assume he was wishing he were doing the same. He got married to a girl but her character was never heard from again. I assume he stayed with her but would still prefer a “boyfriend”
Yep, Ronnie had to go to prison because Vic got immunity and then lied to him saying that it was for the both of them…Remember he needed to protect his “family” Vic’s a family man you know? (I just keep hammering on this one)
Dutch is still finding serial killers and that 2 faced David is going to be mayor finally… Everybody got what they wanted…Except the “strike team” Crime doesn’t ever really pay does it?
Vic and the Boys… Have a good time! You will be missed…

If I had some alien’s drop by my crib I’d have to bust out with some questions.
Would’t you?
Yep, those Extraterrestrial Beings… You know, those guys with the big heads, small bodies and glittering eyes.
I’d ask them a few things:
- What planet are you from?
- Is the food good?
- Is pot legal there?
- How is the political system?
- Do you have homeless shelters?
- Do ya’ll believe in Jesus? Or Mohammad?
- Is rap music more popular than rock music on your planet?
- Does you economy tank too?
- Does your government want to take away your ray guns?
- Star Trek or Star Wars?
- Do you have sex? What kind?
- Ginger or MaryAnn?
The list just goes on and on…And with all the technology they have they must have all the answers… Ya think?
Come on guys… We need a little help here on planet earth… Ya think?
What questions would YOU ask the Aliens?

I like super hero movies… I saw Batman The Dark Knight Recently… Very Kewl.
Hancock is certainly a different take on Super Hero movies…This guy is a drunk with super human powers (like Superman) and has an attitude of FTW… If you know what im saying…
He is always tearing up stuff as he saves people and catches bad guys… He seems to have no guidance or morals when it comes to how he get’s the job done… Very interesting.
He then saves a guys life that becomes his friend and “consultant” on how to become a cherished super hero instead of one considered to be an “asshole”
I also checked out “The Bucket List ” this weekend… It was a moving story about 2 guys that are terminally ill and create a list of things to do before they “kick the bucket” Great story and photography as they travel worldwide… Almost holding back tears at the end… I hate that…

So you go to a restaurant and you order some food for you and your date.
When the bill comes you simply give the waiter your debt card and they bring back a slip of paper for you to sign.
Balance $4512
Tip ______________
Tax $4.50
Total____________
Now you write in a tip and do the total and that is what should come out of your bank account right?
Not always... In fact the past 2 times I have eaten it has said something different when I check my account online. The tip was either wrong. Or I left the tip blank and left cash but a tip was taken out anyways.
So why the discrepancies? Confused
Then sometimes I’ll look at it a day or so later and the balance has changed once again…Either up or down… You just never know. Guess Ill start taking cash to go out and eat because most of them won’t take a check either.
How risky is it to hand your debt or credit card to a waiter anyways? What is to stop them from writing down that number and then going shopping online when they get off work?
You guys be careful… Ya dig?

- Vitamin B12 Shots
- Water Between drinks
- Drink Clear Booze instead of dark booze
- Eat a full meal before going out to drinking
- Don’t “mix” alcoholic drinks stick with one kind of drink.
- Take some aspirin before going to bed.
- Limit the amount of cigarette smoking while drinking
- Drink a tall glass of wine upon awaking (hair of the dog)
Yes sir, I have tried all these method’s and more… And the older I get the worse the hangover’s are. So the best advice I can give…
TOTAL ABSTINENCE – Hey, it’s the same advice I read in an Ann Lander Colmn years ago. Hey! I got a really good feeling about this one.

I like talking about addiction.. first of all, let’s clear up the difference between, addiction, and chemical dependency.
Remember, you can be addicted to good things as well as bad things. The real trick is realizing if your addiction is self-destructive, self-defeating, or not! for instance addicted to fishing, raising horses, hobbies, music, may or may not be a bad thing.. however, obesity, obsessive behavior, about anything can be self-destructive.
Obesity, is like a dog chasing his tail, you have low self-esteem, and it causes you to over eat, which causes you lower self-esteem, and the solution is eat.. no end without an intervention. Chemical dependency.. is very similar, but different. You lack something,(dopamine) that lets you feel good about yourself!!
Alcohol, and other similar drugs produce a “artificial” dopamine that gives you the sensation of dopamine.. a fantasy feel good… alcohol, is the most common because it is more readilly avaliable and acceptable.
Cocaine, meth, and certain prescription drugs produce the same effect but have much more damaging effects sometimes permanent!.. and have a much more demanding requirement for more, more, more..
It is amazing to me.. why anyone would ever do cocaine, or heroine, the first time!! Knowing it is the most addictive drugs on the planet@!! but, there are plenty of addicts with that going on.. I have to conclude that their self-esteem was extremely low in order to try it the first time??
Well, any way you look at it, chemical dependency is always self-defeating, self-destructive thinking and behaviour.. I would certainly be better off without the dependence on a drug.. (pain pill, anxiety pill, alcohol, whatever) I will stop for now.. to be continued

Hey, you ever heard of myspace ? I remember hearing those words years ago. It was brand new then and growing strong… So, I of course joined. See here !
Many web geeks then (and now) can’t stand myspace. But for all the sexual/dating/flirting/cheating computer novices that just want to have fun-You can’t beat it. It has to be the biggest free internet meat market on the net. Why join some kind of paid dating site when there are millions to choose from on MySpace. (If that’s where you go to get dates anyways)
I have been fed up with myspace in the past while having difficulties with a girlfriend that I met there. She seemed to enjoy the excitement on the website more than me. Still, I keep my profile up and check it from time to time… I sometimes promote my blogs on there to try and build my pathetic traffic stats.
Do you like to surf pages at myspace? I always find it hard to read most pages as they tend to put up all kinds of gadgets and background pictures… Gee, It reminds me of yahoo geocities. This is the reason a lot of web designers don’t like myspace.
Profits
People sure can have a good time. With all of those “theme” sites out there. So many people are cashing in on myspace’s success…Especially Myspace itself. (800 million in revenue 2008) And, they don’t even have to add content… It’s members do plenty of that. They just monitor the datacenter and fight hackers… No need to actually write anything.
MySpace – Can’t live with it, can’t live without it. But I usually just forget it.

I have always thought that Magical Mystery Tour could have been recorded in the garage somewhere… Or some of it anyways… It’s not all that great of a recording. Even though it is a great record over all…
George Martin has been hailed as such a great producer…And he was…But there are many other records from this period that have as good or better recordings. The song “magical mystery tour” is paticarly noisy and muddy.
I remember back when the early Beatles CD’s first came out… They were all released in mono… To preserve the “original” recordings… They “fake stereo” vinyl records sound better.
Anyways, Magical has some magical music on it… I like the song “flying“… It is the picture of 60’s psychedelia… Love that trippy guitar.
The string arangements on “I am the Walarus” has to be the best in rock and roll. And that saxaphone (I think) playing on “Baby im a Rich Man” is the most bizarre horn part I have ever heard. That is Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones playing that… Miss that guy.
Other Highlighs
- Hello Goodbuy – Great guitar line and simple lyrical message.
- Your Mother Should Know – Dance to a song before your mother was born
- Strawberry Fields Forever – Maybe the best John lennon Song ever.
I am here as you are here as we are all together – John Lennon

Driving down the highway… Look up, look down… Gee I don’t wanna mis spell anything.. This message to a myspace buddy is just TOO important.
It’s funny watching people driving around…They are either talking on the phone or looking down . You KNOW their texting. Why else would they be looking down instead of the road.
So should they outlaw it? I mean how can I stay in touch with all my social networking buddies on twitter and facebook if I can’t text and drive? I may get a DWT Driving While Texting.
When I get pulled over I could just tell the officer… “Please give me a break officer. I forgot… Heck, I been drinking.”
