I'll just stay here and bark out belligerent, fat-assed orders!

A good week---

 so so so wish this to be true?
Maybe this would help us get our shit together...

The older I get the more careful I am to avoid
people that are sick----
When younger I never thought much about it--you know?
Now retired and in control of who I am around--
I disappear fast if somebody appears sick....
It's not really fear--it's just there is much
I want to do rather than be sick...
Plus at my age i don't want people to
get confused about my health status if I am sick?

i am doing burning man by live video stream
 it's the closest I'll ever get---
no matter that...
 i am doing it wrong....
For me watching a live video overlook 
may be better than being there....?
I watched the sun come up at Burning Man this morning!

There are news stories we just do not hear now?
Like this one where the International Monetary Fund
has officially warned the United States about our
level of poverty???
The IMF believes this may lead to collapse?
Of course our news would never report anything
contrary to Merica' exceptionalism?

Ok--so the person closest to----probably the future President--
is Huma Abedin...
Who can fuck over an FBI investigation but
cannot keep her husband, Anthony Weiner, from sending
dick pics to random women---?
He's ruined himself several times by not being 
able to separate his dick from his phone.
But that hasn't kept him from running for Congress and 
Mayor of New York????
His dick and phone did it again this week..
Jesus Christ already!!!
Ya just gotta laugh about these 1%er's who believe they are
destined to rule us.
They are way beyond the fucked up standard of normal people.
This is merely Karma--
what goes around comes around..
a divorce won't change that fact.
(I'm still not talking about politics--
this is talking about stupid and evil,
which does not violate my blog vow--OK?)
Weiner may be tremendously lucky she's just divorcing him?
Strange things seemingly happen to people who...
can possibly fuck up the Clintons--?

Gene Wilder died this week.
83 years old..
Gene Wilder passes away...

 frying pan...
The concept of cooking everything separate 
at the same moment thrills my little OCD heart !
boingboing--innovative pan

Season 4 on DVD--
one of my favorite shows:

My 90 dollar Chender,
Chinese Telecaster arrived..
the guitar was packed well--in it's free gig-bag
which is less of a padded bag and more of, well, a guitar cover?
In the bag's pocket were--
a strap, plug, picks, and for some unknown reason
two extra high E and B strings?
Believe it or not the body is actually beautifully finished..
Neck to body fit is excellent.
The neck is rather thick but not a problem for me..
The only problems were the Chinese, wire like strings 
that came installed..and the bridge desperately needed
adjustment..
It should be noted that--
(A buyer without adequate guitar playing/set up experience
would have probably had a problem trying to get this guitar
to sound/work properly but---)
This Wo-Bang cheapo guitar pickup's sound actually great..
living proof that cheap pickups and a cheap guitar can actually sound great!!!
As long as one plays through a decent amp.
The first thing i did was pull the barbed wire 
Chinese strings, adjusted the
bridge, replaced the strings with a decent set, and changed out 
the control knobs to a set of vintage styled chicken-head knobs
i had available...
All I need to do now is remove the
strange head stock decal, and maybe
lower the bridge a bit more?
Turns out this guitar was an excellent acquisition!

These people justify themselves
to themselves in the darkness of the night?
Heather Bresch...
CEO OF Mylan
Mylan markets a product developed by the government
with taxpayer money. Bresch has cornered the market
on the EPI-Pen, used to prevent DEATH in 
allergic reactions to insect stings or food.
 She has raised the price of the epi pen pack 461%
since Bresch is the only available supplier.
Children are especially susceptible to this reaction problem.
rx-robber barons the disgusting epipen price hike is everything thats wrong with pharmaceutical industry and politics
Of course,
Bresch's father is a US Senator, and 
Of course
she forged her
education credentials via bribery.
and of course
her father passed a law requiring these pens in every school..
Oh, by the way she makes almost 19 million dollars a year.
Bresch goes down in flames
This absolutely proves that the glass ceiling has been broken.
She's as huge a douche' as the Pharma Bro..quite possibly larger---
All they want is, all your money, before you die...
The problem is we only know about this kind of gouging
when these people become so greedy,
the story can no longer be contained...
We so desperately need socialized medicine!
The epipen scandal runs deeper than most of us realize
How do they sleep at night?

If you're looking for plausibility, you won't find it here.

I got new teeth this week...
It's been a long, tough process--
The days after my mouth aches--because
of the teeth being new--and they feel BIG?
Hopefully everything will wear in??

I just bought the cheapest Chinese Fender telecaster copy i could find.
$99.00, free shipping, gig bag included.
Due to arrive later this week--
I'll provide actual photo's on the next blog---but--
I've already named this guitar CHENDER..
as in Chinese fender?

I love telecasters and haven't owned one in quite some time.
Henceforth my frustrating attempted build of a tele esquire.
That build project failed, as you may well know?
So I went with the cheapest telecaster copy i could find on the Net.
The singular element of this style of electric guitar is:
A telecaster is a telecaster is a telecaster--
as long as it plays well--
A cheap Chinese copy that plays well is as good as the worlds 
most expensive real Fender telecaster....
An additional attraction for me with this 99 dollar guitar--
(well actually 69 dollar guitar if one deducts
say 30 dollars for the gig bag, which is way less than the
standard cost for a decent gig bag)
is to possibly use this inexpensive CHENDER for busking...
The last necessary item for  my devious plan on busking will be

a good, battery powered amp... more on that in later blogs---
Hopefully this guitar will work out---
I did have qualms about buying something that
probably was built by slave labor 
but--
I decided that
 we musicians are basically slave labor as well--
So no harm, no foul..


An insane, snake dancing preacher,
Tony Perkins--
 preaches that natural disasters happen because 
Well--
according to Perkins it's simple...
there are alot of gay people where disasters happen?
According to this nimrod--
God sends disasters as punishment against Gay people????
In the recent Louisiana flooding--
(this dick lives in Louisiana of course, where the fuck else?)
Perkin's house and snake dancing church building
were washed away...
So 'splain that one to me big guy?

the Olympics???
Turns out that pretty much nobody watched it:
poor olympics ratings
Just what the fuck event is this:
Get drunk, trash a service station, lie about a robbery,
in a foreign country and loose your endorsements---
They really want me to pay to watch these schmucks??
Yeah----they fucking lied...

This breaks my heart---
Corporate Prison's stocks crash--
due to the Federal Government announcing 
that it will no longer contract out Prisons.
How about getting out of this business and try doing
something decent for society for a change?

Multiple companies are salivating at the though of a switch to
self driving cars, taxis and trucks?
The CEO's are getting hard at the thought of laying off 
all those troublesome employee's
I have posed this question regarding self driving vehicles 
multiple times before---
With another entire segment of the population laid off work,
like eliminating driving jobs,
who the fuck will be able to pay to ride 
in all your driver-less taxis?

Just viewed this on DVD--
A
This has to be the absolute
worst superhero movie I have ever seen...
Broke my loyal Batman heart....
I actually thought Ben Affleck was OK--as batman---
A really BIG batman--
but he did a decent job and doesn't deserve the
shit the nerd community has given him over
this role----
It was the movie plot that totally sucked!!
The writers must have been on LSD?

I saw the second best movie in the entire world---
(The Big Lebowski ranks in as first of course..)
HELLO MY NAME IS DORIS..
is a perfect wonderment of a movie--
You fucking absolutely have to see this film!
Sally Field is simply awesome---
It seems all excellent movies have to be
given about 20 minutes before you suddenly
realize their greatness--this rule applies here..
give the film 20 minutes--you won't regret it!

This kid is supposed to be a reincarnated, big-time, Buddhist Lama?
Sorta looks like he, uh, kinda ate the previous Lama...?
Does that count?
Hard to fit a whole Lama in a 10 year old?
