I have a new favorite track that has been stuck in my mind for the past few days:

Close To You(Remix)

This has been bothering me for a while; Halloween - my most sacred holiday - has been cheapened and commercialized to the point of insanity. Instead of celebrating the night when the dark creatures of the underworld come to life; people seem to see this day as some sort of a dress rehearsal for a middle school variety show.

Women seem to interpret it as a "Dress like a Slut Day"; they alternate through a cycle of their "sexy nurse", "sexy cop", or "sexy devil" outfits all of which seem to feature pushed up boobs, and cut off skirts. Sure some of those outfits can be quite scary, but I highly doubt that this was the intention of their owners. I guess we still suppresses female sexuality to the point where it all spills out over the top (figuratively and literally) on the All Hallows' Eve...

At least the women are trying; most dudes are contempt with wearing anything that they could find on the empty shelves of a local Party City a few hours before the party. Anything will do as long as it allows them to get close to the women that are dressed like sluts...

While the original Celtic holiday of Halloween was meant to celebrate the pagan goddess of fertility, it has quickly grown as an opportunity for the adults to embrace their dark side (probably because they had realized that it's quite ok to embrace fertility every other night). It's a pretty sad statement about our society that we embrace our darkest fears by wearing a sexy outfit or eye-raping those that do.

I am so full! No more buffets! No mas! Benitto!

Pissed about the plans falling through for this evening. I have worn a super-douchey jacket and all for nothing! It's not often that I fully embrace my inner douche bag, but today was definitely that day. Who knows when it will happen again?

I have no running water at my place. Welcome to the third world living conditions of Dunwoody, GA. It's always good to have the friends in the neighborhood whose shower you can use. No that's karma!

My orthopedic surgeon (20+ years of practice, leading authority on upper extremity repair, head of the orthopedic surgery board of Georgia, official surgeon of all the local professional sports teams, and an all-around good guy has left me with these parting words:

"The surgery went perfectly and your physical therapy has gone better than anyone could have hoped. You have made stellar progress. I have never seen anyone re-injure themselves at your stage of recovery, but if any one can do it - it's going to be you Andrew!"

Thanks Doc, I'll see you again; but hopefully under the more pleasant circumstances.

As I sit here with a sore throat, a running nose, watery eyes, and a boiling head; I ask myself was it really worth going balls-out this weekend?

Abso-fucking-lutely - just look at a wide grin on my face!

It's a busy day at work. My body is glued to the laptop, my eyes are focused on the screen in front of me. As I am sending off just another e-mail and trying to extinguish yet another fire, my mind is entirey somewhere else:

Dun Da-Da Dun-Dun Ready?
Dun Da-Da Dun-Dun Steady!
Dun Da-Da Dun-Dun Go!

Coming in a mess - going out in style,
Just another star on my profile;
I can go blow for blow all day,
That is why they call me DRE!

Yeahh, I guess I was wrong,
But now I am strong,
YO DJ - keep spinning my song!
Yeahh, it's good to be right,
There's no need to fight,
And it's feeling so tight!

Di Di-Di Di Di Swoosh!

King of the Hill - I go for the kill;
When others freak out, I simply chill...
I can go toe-to-toe all night,
That's what makes my star so bright!

Yeah I thought I was wrong,
But now I belong,
And everyone's humming my song!
Now I know that I am right,
Wow I'm seeing the light,
It's gonna be a good day and great night!

Dun Da-Da Dun-Dun Love!
Dun Da-Da Dun-Dun Peace!
Dun Da-Da Dun-Dun I'm out!

I have gotten a chance to chill in front of my pimped-out TV and to waste a few hours watching mindless programming – a relaxation technique that I should utilize more often … so there I was contemplating wheather to watch live WWE Monday Night Raw or the recording of IFL Semi-Finals and then this came on:



While I have seen this movie before, and even liked it; I had never realized how symbolic it was of my youth (or young adulthood). That was a time! A time when life was stupid and simple; when girls were young and unjaded, when parties lasted from dusk till dawn; when danger and sleaze went hand- in-hand with trust and comradely… As much as I like to believe that I am in the prime of my life and that I am doing all the right things and living my life responsibly… man, do I miss those days! Is it possible to relive them just for a day, or better yet a weekend? Tune in two weeks to find out…

I have recently signed up for FaceBook. In fact I have recently been active on a whole bunch of new sites: JDate, LiveJournal, FaceBook... An armature psychologist in me would say that I am looking for the new ways to express my creativity and to solidify my social network, while the pragmatist in me would say that I am spending more time indoors now that my arm is broken...

But I digress, back to FaceBook - I find it to be extremely simple and intuitive to use. What’s more, I was able to locate way more friends there than I saw on MySpace. In fact, I was able to locate a couple of old friends that I had lost track of a long time ago. I have already made plans to meet both of them in the following week, and it seems like they had never left at all. I honestly can’t think of a better way to keep track of your not-so-close friends and acquaintances.

Some of its applications are weird; so far I have been poked, bitten, and attacked by pirates. I have also tagged, bought drinks, and assigned superlatives to friends. I honestly don’t know what any of it means, but somehow I enjoy the feeling of being one of the early adaptors of the whole new communications medium.

All I know is that I have been spending more and more time playing around with it, and judging by the “mini feeds” so have my friends.

Todays has started off grandly, but an hour ago it had made a very sharp and painful turn around... and now I am just trying to put together the pieces and to understand how everything in life (the good and the bad) goes around in a cycle. It is as if the human emotions follow the laws of conservation of energy - emotions are not created or lost; they are just transfered from one person to another... And now the baton has been passed to a beautiful soul who deserves it the least...

Hopefully, later on, my feelings would motivate me to write something more profound in here. For now my mind keeps spinning the hook form an old Wu Tang Clan track:


watch ya step kid [8X]
[Ol Dirty Bastard] c'mon baby baby c'mon [4X]
[RZA] Yo, ya best protect ya neck

Water activities (especially jet-skiing) are better left to those who can enjoy the use of both their arms.

When wondering  if a driver could potentially operate a vehicle without their glasses, one should always wait for a car to come to a complete stop before asking the driver that question…

For all you grappling fans out there – a double leg takedown can be successfully performed with the one arm; obviously you have to shoot from the side to get the full benefits.

New term for a really annoying Jewish female – nosal (as in the derivative of anal).

J (aka "Buttons") was nice enough to take the time out of her busy schedule to re-write the Flea Market Woman (see the previous entry).  J has been so amused with my decision to sign-up for JDate (not related to J... aka "Buttons") that she has remixed the original lyrics in order to custom-tailor them to my (aka "chosen") people:
  

                                               Dupster Diving JAP

"As I smelt the stench I knew my find could come soon….of course it wasn't Kosher, but that wasn't going to stop me - no not me- to get to you - my dumpster dive jap… Ya..she had long nails, and a big scratchy voice, commanding me right out of the box, but I knew it was love - it was familiar…the way she tore me down and complained incessantly …I knew I had uncovered a winner. As I moved the rotten eggs out of her eyes and took the banana peels from her dark hair sprayed curls I realized - damn she sure has a honking big nose -She's a Jew! My mother will love her! ….

Dumpster Diving JAP! Dumpster Diving JAP! I think I love you. I think I really do o o.
Find any thing you want down down down down in the bowels of the Dumpster er er!
Oh there's half eaten good food and lamps and pillows and telephones that really work.
There's even….
...And I found you - my dirty little Jewish American Princess. "

For some strange reason I am in the middle of reliving my fascination with OASIS. They were a big favorite of mine in college. A lot of time has passed since then, yet their seemingly nonsensical lyrics surrounded by the massive "Wall Of Sound" acoustics seem to connect with me more than ever.

Fear – is it near,  as you cover it with lies?
Tear – would you hear, as it drops down from my eyes?

Walking down the road alone,

I am breaking through the wall of stone;

But I don’t believe in magic – life is automatic,

As I don’t mind being on my own; As I am strong being on my own!

Feelings – are they breathing, as you’re showing your dismay?

Sayings – what’s their meaning, when the trust has gone away?

Sailing down the river alone,
I’ve been trying to find my way back home;

But I am hearing through the static – life is automatic,

As I keep looking for where I belong; As I will find where I belong!
