This is the end of this thing.

For the few who still might come around, I just started a new thing. Krotpong.com. Come on by if you wanna. Switched my focus a bit. I'll be posting there now. Laters!

It's from the Heart.

Oh, I don't know. I have put up a compilation of stuff that I have been listening to for the last month or so. Some of it it is rather... antisocial. Have at it. There is some good shit here...

BleEEeeaAuurghH!

As a server of intoxicating adult beverages, every two years or so I have to renew my alcohol seller's certification. Thanks to modern technology, I can do this in the comfort of my own home (hooray). Unfortunately, that adds up to around four hours of redundant, confusing, contradictory, condescending, vague horseshit. Not only that, but much of it is horseshit that I generally don't agree with.

Today was the day that I renewed my holy, booze-spewing vows to a faceless enforcement agency and let me tell you, I was unhappy about it. I look forward to this little ritual as much as I look forward to, say, having teeth pulled... or forced enemas... it's that bad. I don't recall any other activites involving computers and sitting that make me scream and holler as much as taking my certification course apparently does. I'm glad I was home alone so there was no one to hear my cries of "No fucking way!" "You've got to be fucking kidding me!" "Bullshit!" and the ever popular "What the fuck!?" along with all the absurd variations of those phrases that I come up with out of boredom and hatred.

I would try to explain in more detail the whys and whats that make me so frustrated/crazy about this process, but my wounds are too fresh and raw for me to put it all in proper perspective. And really, this has got to be one of the most boring ideas for a blog post that I have ever had.

Because I feel badly for having put you guys through all of my grousing, here is a linky for you. Once again, I am smacking you in the face with some Thrones, if you want it. I suggest you take me up on it.

Folksy Fucks Get Fragged.

Hm. I have a vision. What I would very much like to see is a cage-match, to the death, between local crotchety old coots Jim Swift and John Kelso. There should be some wooden rocking chairs in the cage, to be broken up and used as makeshift weapons. Yeah. The "winner" gets put on an ice floe and towed miles and miles out to sea, where the tow rope will be cut and the ship will return to port. It will be the greatest thing ever. I will buy a dvd of this event and watch it every Thanksgiving, just full of fucking thanks.
