This is one of those very uninspiring blog entries. Normally I am full of vitriol and I am spitting mad, but since I have been unable to complete my manuscript. I thought it was time to dust off my old blog, and shine some light on its very dark page.
BRET FAVRE
My personal thanks to the J-E-T-S( I am sure even that has become cliché for many writers). Thank you for ending the Bret Favre saga. I was tired of very many lazy writers commenting on a rather meaningless saga. Nothing beats the national media feeding the Ego of a hillbilly quarterback. That is pretty much the most I am going to dedicate to that Saga.
OLYMPICS
Since, I came to America, the Olympic games has lost all its luster, I can remember watching every waking moment of the 92, and the 96 games, but I cannot remember much of Sydney or Athens. Sadly, Beijing will suffer this fate too. Not because of all the extra-curricular, or the fact that the IOC has once again proven they are the most inept sports body in the world. But, China deserves an Olympics games, and I am glad they got one. But I have lost my Tivo. And even the Olympic football tournament which was the only thing I really cared about or would want to watch will sadly be missed this year. Now if I can just skip through all these Olympic themed commercials I would be very happy. Oh Tivo, I hardly got to know you, for a brief period you ruled. Thanks Directv for a substandard DVR.
POLITICS
This topic normally feeds my flames, and it is the topic most responsible for much of my writing anger. But, a friend whose opinion I value, has helped me see the light. All of this is pointless. The election has been decided, and nothing anyone says or does will matter. Though old habits die hard, as I am this close to going Tanya Harding on the Clintons, I am tired of both of them, sixteen years of leading your party is enough, please go away, and go into gently into the night. We do not care, not want to know about your grievances. You lost, and there was no sexism, or racism in the race. You lost, get over it. I find it hilarious that Hilary has become the symbol for the postmodern feminist movement. This woman who chose to defer to her husband's career. This woman whose singular achievement as a First Lady was to stand by her philandering husband (saving whatever political career that would have gone in flames of his and of course hers). I am still of the mindset that the reason why she did was because he promised her a pathway to the big chair, and all these hurt feelings they both have is because that path was shut by Obama. He is now unable to fufill that request, plus all she dealt with because of the scandals, and now all for naught. Though been a junior senator form New York is not bad. Furthermore, if she had played her cards right, she might have been able to become governor of New York, it is no President, but it is better than nothing, which is what they are aiming for right now.
COLD WAR MORNING
How lovely and refreshing to watch Russian tanks roll into one of the many ex soviet republic countries. It was like waking up to one of those cold war mornings. Of course Russia claims Ethnic cleansing, which is a new one for them. Back in the old days it was rebellion, and or capitalist infestation. I like the Ethnic cleansing angle, why anyone would buy it is beyond me, because I do not know about you, but the difference between a South Ossetian and a Georgian is well pretty much non-existent. Well, it keeps the drunk eyed Russian people asleep, and they are not forced to have to look up from their bottle of vodka, and realize that they are back into the old days. The only difference these days is no lines, and they can make a light bulb. In the end that is all people care about.
