My sister and her gang making a ruckus in Tokyo...
In reality, even if I held that gun, I'd have to hold on with both hands with a helmet on...here's why.
I GOT A JOB!! No more unemployment, and back to our lower middle class status!..I start next Monday at an undisclosed national restaraunt chain.. On with the show...

wearedna singing and life_of_brian on percussions..we'll play on July 18th at Churchills Pub. I'll have video for those who couldn't make it...
Lisa in Japan...My sister went to Japan with her girlfriend on Monday. I think she's over there sight seeing and playing geisha-lesbo games with her current beau. I figure it must be the significant other's idea, cause my sister has never expressed an interest in anything Japanese. In fact, she has a hard time watching Asian films because she can't tell the characters apart and loses track of the story easily. I tried to watch "Infernal Affairs" with her once and I almost lost my voice explaining what's happening. She should be on her way back this Tuesday at midnight, which means I get to play chauffeur for a trip to the West Palm Beach airport to pick her up. It's been quiet all week in my house, and it was nice to go a few days without dealing with a contentious man-hating psychiatrist.
Correcting Inconsiderate Behavior...On the little brother front, he has started a workout program at the local 24 hour gym. So, out of all the time in the day he chooses to go he chooses to go at 4:30pm, in the middle of rush hour traffic. his gym is located in a mall under construction with two major thoroughfare streets and a highway passing through it. So ,at that time of day (especially with the afternoon rain) the traffic is slightly less than nightmarish. I'd drop him off, battle traffic for an hour, then he calls the house ten minutes after I arrive to pick him up. So, after the realization he could go to the gym at anytime of day (even at midnight) I shouted him down for his inconsiderate choice of time. I left him stranded for an hour to teach him a lesson. Now, he works out at night. Which only takes ten minutes each way...A bit of a dick move, but I had to remind little bro that no one in this world has to do anything for him.
We're getting the band back together...
wearedna and I are considering playing the back porch area of Churchill's pub on July 18th, whilst ianmichael's band Dead Dead Bird plays in the main stage. The back area is not so bad, it's a stage and it gets a good crowd out there, especially since it's the smoking patio so all the stonerfolk will be there. I've got three songs worked out and I think we may have life_of_brian playing along on an electronic drum pad, jerry-rigged from a Rock Band video game set. I haven't done anything musically with Brian since our Five Inch Fish days I was thinking about covering techno songs, reworking them for a folkie crowd. Think a Bob Dylan version of Aphex Twin. That is planned for July 18th and I will post our short set here up on the show the following day.I fuck you right where you breathe...Friday night at Brian's clubhouse didn't go as planned. I finally got to meet The Invisible Ann (as I lovingly dub her). for about two years I've only heard of her existence. For example, "We're going to Ann's house for a cocaine feuled house party" or "We met up with Ann at Disneyworld and she got into a fist-fight with Ariel..." or "Ann drank some dog vomit at the fetish show" Sort of like Tino from "My so-called Life" or Vera from "Cheers". She has been a peripheral character until Friday. I totally understood why my friends kept us separated. in the same way one would not want to introduce Nitro to Glycerine. The problem is, she's an angry Shrew and I'm a traditional slightly mysoginistic Dude (I smell a sit-com!) It was almost as if I met the real life version
mariev8, my most vocal critic. Needless to say, the evening went downhill the second I called her a cunt. She felt the need to challenge me at every point and at the end I humored her so I can finish drawing my comic book in peace. I thought she was one of Brian's usual 17 year old groupies, but it turned out she's just a very immature art teacher at some private school in the west coast of Florida. I would pull my kid out of the school she teaches at, but everyone likes a teenage girl of 32. At least her friend Kelly was the complete opposite. Andrew was getting on with her like a house on fire this weekend. I was rooting for him to score like this was a football game. Andrew has a bad history with insane women, it's nice to see him with someone relatively stable. As for Ann, I pissed on the hood of her car on my way out of the house. I wanted to flatten her tires, but that means she would not leave and probably stay in Miami longer. And I promised Brian I wouldn't do any permanent damage to her car. Random Sporadic Gunfire...The fourth went off with the usual chaos. The neighborhood was lit up like the Tet Offensive. The air was thick with gunpowder and the all the illegal fireworks lit up the sky. As usual, some dumbfuck fired off their guns in the air and some old lady sitting at her back porch was hit. She's fine now, but this year wasn't so bad. Only one person hurt. In Miami, the gang members like to fire off their guns in the air on the Fourth of July and on New Years. The clan gathered around the barbecue pit and I hid in my room getting high with my uncles. Happy 4th!

The Governor and her cabinet bid a tearful adieu!
(AP)-- Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin surprised supporters Friday and announced she is resigning from office at the end of the month without explaining why she plans to step down — throwing into question whether she would seek a run for the White House in 2012. The news rattles a Republican Party plagued with setbacks in recent weeks, including extramarital affairs disclosed by two other 2012 presidential prospects, Nevada Sen. John Ensign and South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford. Palin hastily called a news conference Friday morning at her home in suburban Wasilla, giving such short notice that only a few reporters actually made it to the announcement. Security blocked late-arriving media outside her home, and her spokesman, Dave Murrow, finally emerged to confirm that Palin will step down July 26. He refused to give details about the governor's future plans. The former Republican vice presidential candidate said she had been considering leaving office since she decided not to run for re-election. "Many just accept that lame duck status, and they hit that road. They draw a paycheck. They kind of milk it. And I'm not going to put Alaskans through that," Palin said. Palin spokesman David Murrow said the governor didn't say anything to him about this being her "political finale." Murrow said he interpreted Palin's comment about working outside government as reflecting her current job only. "She's looking forward to serving the public outside the governor's chair," he said. Political analyst Larry Sabato, in Charlottesville, Va., said Palin's announcement left many wondering what her plans were. "It's absolutely bizarre, and I think it eliminates her from serious consideration for the presidency in 2012," he said. Palin hinted that she had a bigger role in mind, saying she wanted to make a "positive change outside government." But she kept supporters in suspense, promising later Friday on Twitter: "We'll soon attach info on decision to not seek re-election ... this is in Alaska's best interest, my family's happy ... it is good. Stay tuned." Jerry McBeath, a veteran political science professor at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, called the pending resignation a "smart move," both for Palin and the state. "Alaska is an isolated stage from which to operate if you want to figure in American national politics. I don't know what she has in mind, some TV show or some national radio show. There are opportunities for her, I'm sure." "After all, Rush Limbaugh is getting old, and cranky, and the airwaves and the videowaves would benefit form a new present. She certainly is photogenic, and that is her area of experience. So I would say it's a response to opportunity instead of 'getting out before they get you,'" he said. As for the state, he said Palin's departure will reduce the distractions and return Alaska to normal politics. Palin said her family weighed heavily in her decision. "This decision has been in the works for a while. This decision comes after much consideration, prayer and consideration," she said. "Finally, I polled the most important people in my life, my kids, where the count was unanimous. Well, in response to asking, 'Hey, you want me to make a positive difference and fight for all our children's future from outside the governor's office?' It was four yeses and one 'Hell, yeah!" And the hell, yeah sealed it." Palin's decision not to seek re-election was a familiar one for a potential presidential candidate. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney chose not to seek another term as he geared up for an unsuccessful 2008 presidential bid. Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty has announced he won't seek another term, giving him plenty of free time ahead of a potential 2012 bid. And Alaska's remote location seemed prohibitive for her to visit key early states such as Iowa, New Hampshire or South Carolina. She would lose at least a day for travel on each trip, while her competitors could make day trips to Des Moines, Manchester or Columbia to drive news. By exiting the governor's office early, she wouldn't be held back by her day job's duties or be drawn into state-level fights with national implications. But the early exit from the governorship also raised questions about how seriously she takes her job. Palin emerged from relative obscurity nearly a year ago when she was tapped as then Republican presidential candidate John McCain's running mate. She was a controversial figure from the start, with comedian Tina Fey famously imitating her elaborate hairstyle and folksy "You betcha!" on "Saturday Night Live." She didn't leave the limelight once McCain lost the presidency. She recently led a public spat with "Late Show" host David Letterman over a joke he made about one of her daughters being "knocked up" by New York Yankees baseball player Alex Rodriguez during the governor's recent visit to New York. Palin's 18-year-old daughter, Bristol, is an unwed, teenage mother. Letterman later apologized for the joke. Her 2008 running mate, Sen. John McCain, wouldn't be offering reaction on Friday, a spokeswoman said. Palin also complained that her 14-month-old son, Trig, who was diagnosed with Down's syndrome, had been "mocked and ridiculed by some mean-spirited adults recently." She didn't elaborate. Fred Malek, a Republican strategist who has advised Palin over the past year, said Palin was "really unhappy with the way her life was going." "She felt that the pressures of the job combined with her family obligations and the demands and desires to help other Republican candidates led her to decide not to run again. Once that decision was made, she realized, why not do it now and let the lieutenant governor take over and get a head start on his election," Malek said. The 2008 vice presidential nominee was seen as a likely presidential contender in 2012 and had proved formidable among the party's base. But the last week brought a highly critical piece in Vanity Fair magazine, with unnamed campaign aides questioning if she was ever really prepared for the presidency. The backbiting continued through the week, with follow-up articles recounting the nasty infighting that plagued her failed bid. Her advisers sniped with other Republicans, underscoring the deeply divided GOP looking for its next standard bearer. Palin's resignation announcement caught Republicans and Democrats alike by surprise, but it also suggested she had her eyes on another presidential run. She alluded to how she could help change the country and help military members — code that she didn't think her time on the national stage was over. But the early exit from the governorship also raised questions about how serious she takes her job. Palin's resignation, timed on the eve of the July 4 holiday when many Americans had already begun a three-day weekend, seemed designed to avoid publicity while openly leaving office. Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell will be inaugurated at the governor's picnic in Fairbanks at the end of the month. Palin was first elected in 2006 on a populist platform. But her popularity has waned as she waged in partisan politics following her return from the presidential campaign. Her term would have ended in 2010. Palin expressed frustration with her current role as governor. "I cannot stand here as your governor and allow the millions of dollars and all that time go to waste just so I can hold the title of governor," Palin said. Palin's decision even took Parnell by surprise. He said he was told on Wednesday evening, and was not aware that any presidential ambitions were behind the move. Other recent GOP troubles include affairs by Ensign and Sanford. Ensign, a member of the Christian ministry Promise Keepers, stepped down from the Senate Republican leadership last month after admitting he had an affair for much of last year with a woman on his campaign staff who was married to one of his Senate aides. Ensign later disclosed he had helped the woman's husband get two jobs during the affair. A government watchdog group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, wants the Senate ethics committee and the Federal Election Commission to investigate. Just days after news of Ensign's affair broke, Sanford admitted an affair with a woman in Argentina. Some lawmakers are now calling for his resignation. Before the admission, Sanford had been missing from the state for five days visiting his lover. He had slipped his security detail, lied to his staff about where he was and failed to transfer power to the lieutenant governor in case of a state emergency. The party's troubles seem to have left two prominent 2012 prospects, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and 2008 presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, unscathed, however.
--This is it, kids. She is done. Goodnight and have a pleasant tomorrow, bitch! Let's start a chorus...na na na na...na na na na...Hey hey hey...Goodbye!
