A Brief History of Pretty Much Everything February 14, 2010
Posted by Michael in Entertainment, History.4 comments
On some thread recently, I was pontificating about the futility of the human enterprise. I opined that our history as a species was essentially that we are ever more technologically sophisticated about our fundamental brutality. I got some flack for those comments.
The creator of this video shares my view. So does the Teacher in the book of Ecclesiastes (probably Solomon). There is nothing new under the sun.
But, we have our redeeming moments. See post below.

Thanks to Rosetta the Daddy at The Hostages, who observes: “I really wanted to not like this so I could make fun of it for being a cheese-dripping celebrity circle jerk but dammit, I kinda like it.”
Gotta admit, it kind of gave me a lump in the throat too.

Seniors stage a funny tribute to Michael Jackson.
These guys are cool.
I want to be that cool when I am their age.
OK, I really want to be that cool right now. These guys deserve 23 Obama Nobel Peace Prizes for their sense of humor.
Thanks for the tip goes to Michael’s Cousin’s Husband Charles.

Today I shall test out my new power washer on this.
These purple stains come from a combination of chemicals in the pool and leaves that fall off of some purple leaved plants that hang out here looking pretty and making me happy. We

Loquaciousness February 12, 2010

I believe this John Mayer lad is loquacious. And I admit to not really being bothered by what I have read. I get a distinct note of Chris Klein with a saucy dash of, dare I say, Wickedpinto. Here he is opining on Jessica Simpson:
“Sexually it was crazy. That’s all I’ll say,” he continues. “It was like napalm, sexual napalm. Did you ever say, ‘I want to quit my life and just f*****’ snort you?
I think the guy is smarter than your average bear. In some ways, he probably retrospectively wishes he could shut the ol’ pie hole a little more often. But I think he also understands the PR game. I remember as a kid being emotionally involved in Muhammad Ali fights because I wanted to see the cocky SOB get his face smashed. Well, guess what? He won. And not just the fights. He won because he got me, and millions of other people who formerly didn’t know the names of any fighters (or care who won) to pay attention. Mayer is going to sell some music and some tickets because he’s stirred up a little controversy. Looks to me like an entertainer being entertaining.
His interviews seem to be very pole-centric. So I think we need a poll.

Rosie
Rosie, the new gal. Confident, cuddly, cute as all get-out. Peaches’ play pal holds her own. Social butterfly at the dog-park… just ask Geoff and Mrs. Geoff.
Peaches shares a snuggle with Rosie.
