God, I used to be a shitty writer....

Now I'm a shittyer writer, that's a lot more cynical.

Maybe I'll start blogging again....

For at least a day or two.

Play Amazing Grace on the bag-pipes! Fuck yeah: bag-pipes!!!

Governor Linda Lingle walked in procession, in the 61st annual Kailua Day Parade. Surrounded by body guards, in aloha-shirts, she smiled and waved at all of her supporters, and spectators.

I waved, and smiled, at Lingle. We made eye contact, and suddenly, her warm reception became cold and callous. Her wave slowed to a stop, her smile turned into a scowl, and her welcoming eyes became a 5 second mad-dog stare…she must of heard me calling her “uncle Lingle”. As soon as eye contact broke, she was once again filled with aloha, and continued her march.

“Did you see that gaze of death the Governor gave me?” I asked Chris.

Chris laughed and said, “Hell yeah, that was awesome.”

“That was the highlight of my day,” I replied.

It is Lingle’s duty to kiss my ass: I voted for her. But, She gorilla’d that shit, and now I like her a little more…fuck yeah: America!

Thousands of spectators lined North Kainalu Drive, in Kailua, to watch the parade. Many relaxed, with their families, on lawn chairs, under beach canopies. The overcast shaded everyone from the summer sun and, except for the mild humidity, the weather was comfortable. Some, who live on the street, threw parties…mother-fuckers were loaded at 10 in the morning…fuck yeah: Hawaii!…and blared music. The crowd, alone, was festive enough to make it an event worth attending.

Others that marched, in the Krap-town parade, with Lingle, was the Marine Corps, Mufi and company, other politicians, Hardware Hawaii, the Kaleheo football team and cheer leaders, some beauty pageant winners, Kailua High cheer leaders, some pirates, Darth Vader and some storm-troopers, some marching bands, and a plethora of others….

As much as Krap-town sucks, I must say that the July 4th parade is cool as shit. It’s the only day of the year that the town gets together, and has a good time…and shit, I’m all about a good time…fuck yeah: Krap-town!

Anywho, don’t blow your fingers off, bitches. Doobie needs all the hand-jobs he can get.

Peace,

"I'm so tried, I feel like i'm going to vomit" (My new song)

I took a walk to the State Capital to pick-up a copy of the Constitution of Hawaii, on my lunch break. I went to the Legislative Resource Bearu Library (I used the mnemonic "[L]esbians [R]eaming [B]ig [L]abias" to remember that one), in the maze-like basement of the Capital, and the lady, at the desk, showed me the big old book it was in.

The lady at the desk told me, "You can read this at any state library."

"Where can I buy a copy?", I replied.

She answered, "I have no idea?"

Jesus fuck!!! You'd think I'd be able to get a copy of the laws I'm supposed to follow, and the rights afforded to me, by the State, without going on a scavenger-hunt. Why doesn't the State...and Fed, for that matter...mail me a copy of the the State...and Federal...Constitution, with my tax return? I don't feel like I can properly practice my rights, or follow the law...well...if I don't know what they are.

In my frustration, in not being able to attain a State Constitution, I did what every anarchist would do, in my situation: I picked-up a copy of the Weekly, checked out the upcoming shows, and dropped a huge deuce, in one of the Capital bathrooms. I almost didn't flush because I was so mad.

Now my stomach aches because I sacrificed my lunch in attempting to acquire a constitution. Also, I'm really tired because a few friends and I went to Porkies (aka "The Pork) (aka "The worst strip club on the island), to play pool, last night, and I only got 4 hours of sleep.

Anywho, try to write some music and sing what I just wrote, and if the song gets popular, I get the royalties.

No Traffic

I love the summer: no traffic!!! Now if I could only find a way to get rid of all of the high-school kids, on summer-break, I'd be a happy camper.

Google gone wild

I am a Google fanatic!!! I use Google reader, docs (what I'm using to write this), gmail, blogger, toolbar, notebook, igoogle, talk, page creator, calendar, and I download pretty much anything related (ie firefox, picasa, gears, etc....), without a second thought. God, I spent a lot of last week learning the shortcuts for all their applications, and the week before that learning the intricacies of Google's search functions.

Google has a great reputation, great products, and a great ethic, but how long will that last? Some English bloke, Lord Acton was his name, said, "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." Google is gaining absolute power...I must add, through righteous means. As long as Google's founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin retain control, I am confident that the company will continue to stay on the cutting edge of internet-technology, foster the legal transfer of information, and maintain a high standard of integrity.

Google's integrity has recently come into question because it has gone beyond it's original intention of being, exclusively, an organizer of information; it became a social platform and a median to transfer information. It crossed into a grey area, legally, when it created Google video, and purchased Youtube, considering pirated videos were transferred through those sites (which is the reason Viacom filed a lawsuit against Google ), even though it has stated that it took measures to prevent piracy. Also, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) opened an antitrust investigation of Google for its acquisition of the internet advertisement company Double Click. I'm not implying that Google is immoral. Other corporations are taking shots at them because they are becoming the top dogs.

The London-based watch-dog group, Privacy International, on Saturday, released a report titled A Race to the Bottom: Privacy Ranking of Internet Service Companies, in which it ranked Google lowest in securing private information, is an example of an organization taking a shot at the big-dog. The report does not have any factual evidence that supports its claim, and, between you and me, Privacy International is a luddite grass-root group whose mission is to take shots at every international corporation.

Only time will tell if Google will continue to remain trustworthy, but until I see intentional conflict of interest in the company's moral practices I will continue to use and recommend Google's products. Google set a high standard for all internet based companies, and has always made pleasing its users its primary objective.

Coughing to a new addendum....

Two skinny blond late teen-aged/early-twenty boys sang an Indy-rock duet on the patio of Muddy Waters Espresso, on a hot summer night. One of the boys played the guitar, and back-up vocals, while the other sang a song about love, loss, and the dichotomy of the English language...Jesus fuck it was a stupid song. Four groupies sat next to these two self-absorbed cock-stars, and swooned like a dog about to lick peanut-butter off its master's balls. I sat on the hood of my Ford Focus, drank my English tea, and watched the nancy-twins play their retard-songs. In my peripheral, I noticed that two of the groupies kept looking at me...fuck it was annoying. I have a cold, my sinuses are stuffed, and I wasn't in the mood to have some teen-aged sluts giving me snide looks.

Wow...Studio 60 ended pretty dramatically; The full moon is putting me in a funny mood; and I think that chick that just killed her mom, in Halawa, is kind of hot.

Anywho, I'm going to fucking sleep.

Peace,
