Where I Get All Jack Handy On Your Ass

Current mood: thoughtful
Category: Life

What do you think about in your spare time? This is what travels through the corners of my little mind…

Do you ever wonder what would happen if gravity stopped working for like 2 seconds? I know what would happen, but I think about what may happen if for some strange reason this anomaly in the physical world would occur. Do you know how fast the world rotates? Over 1000 miles per hour! That's pretty fucking fast and if the thing, in this case gravity, that keeps us strapped to the Earth suddenly decided to take a couple ticks off, we'd all be flung into God knows what wherever we happened to be at that moment.

Do you ever wonder what will happen in big cities in the next one hundred years in relation to urban and suburban migration/development? In Kansas City, for instance, the "nice" homes that mostly affluent people (at the time) lived in during the 1920's are now the "inner city" or where a good portion of low income families or individuals reside. What about the houses that were build in the 70's, 80' or even 90's? Will those houses that are nice now and part of nice neighborhoods be part of the ever widening inner cities across America, let alone Kansas City in the future? Downtown areas are now being revitalized and marketed to single twenty something's before they start a family and move out to the suburbs because they need to put their kids in a good school district. Will this follow suit and follow behind the spreading lower income homes? Will the historic landscape of most cities be able to be preserved over the next 100 years?

Will I see a black or female president in my lifetime? Which one is more likely a black male, or a white female? Or will the first minority president be of Latino decent due to the widening gap among minorities hailing from predominantly Latino backgrounds? I think that the traditional party system in this country is in need of a major shakeup. I'm not saying there should not be political parties, because that is just plain silliness. I'm just saying there has not been a significant party shift in several decades. Anyway, back to my original questions. I find if sort of funny that spokespeople in the black community in our country discount the fact that Democratic Presidential Candidate Barack Obama is not "black enough" to be considered "one of them." Here is the most legitimate candidate that is black in American history and these "spokespeople" want to immediately point out that he is not of Western African decent and not part of the slave trade from the 1500's to the 1800's. His father is descended from a goat herder in Kenya. Obviously this man is no "brother" of ours. Who else then? Jesse Jackson and Hymetown? Al Sharpton? Those are almost half-joking type candidates, but even more serious individual hopefuls like Alan Keyes fell short in ways that do not even compare to the buzz surrounding Obama. My thoughts? I wouldn't split hairs on the Junior Senator from Illinois in his bid for President in '08 and one of my personal early front runners for my vote.

Have you ever wondered how homeless people become homeless? I know that not many of us have ever personally talked to a homeless person to learn, but I'm sure it may be interesting. Of course stories and circumstances will change, but is there an overall or common thread between the homeless population in our country? The Pitch (a local paper in KC) ran an interesting story on the homeless in my town. Most of them they interviewed have cars and homes and will purposely pander on the street for your change. That's right, they will sit outside all day collecting spare cash then hop in their car and go home for the night. This hardly constitutes "being homeless." I'm not saying that the homeless issue isn't s a problem, because it is. Stories like this make you question people committing even some of the most desperate of acts. To give some answers to my question though, do you ever think that a person who is at least high school educated that became down on his/her luck can't find a job and loses their home/apartment/domicile and do not have anyone to help them along the lines of friends or family? I guess I find the reasons people are without jobs or homes interesting.

I'm not going to talk about the Virginia Tech shooting directly, however I would like to address the fallout discussion from what happened in Blacksburg, Virginia. Do we need more gun control in this country? The short and seemingly logical answer would be yes. However, do you think that the student would have been able to kill students (or as many) without a gun? Killing and murder has been going on for centuries and it will continue on for centuries. Doesn't it make sense that if there were less guns there would be less gun violence in this country? Does the second amendment really apply to today's world? Do we really need guns around to protect us? Let's stay within the context of the authors of the Constitution. Do we need to protect our lands from invading hordes/redcoats? Do we need to protect our village or town from Indian tribes that are pissed off because we are taking their land? Do we go out into the wild and kill what we need to eat for dinner? Our country was founded and is rooted in violence. It is a part of our make up, that much we cannot deny. I believe in the right to keep and bear arms. I do not believe in the argument that it is necessary to own assault rifles or sub machine guns and place them in your home. With children residing in them. So, do you ever wonder what the crime rate or violence would be like in this country if gun control were tighter? If the National Rifle Association wasn't so entrenched in a certain powerful political party? Fuck you Magnum P.I. Fuck you fake Moses.

Do you ever wonder and debate in your head if racial double standards really exist? In light of the Don Imus fiasco, do you think Al Sharpton would be fired from his radio program if he called a predominantly white female basketball team "blonde headed bimbo's?" Don't get me wrong, I believe Don Imus made a mistake that was both stupid and morally retarded. He's an old radio jock dinosaur that should have been put to pasture a long time ago. Saying that, this is what I took away from this whole hoopla. Other than racism is still a problem in our country. For your consideration: The Waynes Brothers dressing up in white make up and prosthetics and awkwardly acting white = funny movie and Hollywood box office success. What would happen if Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson dressed in black make up and spoke in broken Ebonics and called the movie "Black Ho's?" You could just about get a whiff of the uproar if this hit the theaters or the television in the form of a preview. It would be a degradation and rightfully so, but why is it not the same when the shoe is on the other foot? Just curious. Is it because of the whole minority vs. majority argument? Personally speaking, I found the premise of the movie to be offensive and to this day I refuse to watch it. Also, this is by no means is me crying out for help in a racial undertone type sentiment. I have black friends and no, I'm not taking a Michael Richards defense, because I do get rather upset when people use the N word in jokes or just speech in general. To me the word is loaded with hate and only used these days as an abomination of the English language. People did not choose the color of their skin. That's all I'll say.

That may be a lot to think about, but it's just a glimpse into what swirls around in my head every day. Nice, huh? I bet you are that much happier for sharing in my thoughts. Leave yours in my comments box.

	Derek	size=4>But Ben Stiller did dress up in black make-up in the movie Zoolander, which also has Owen Wilson in it as well, so i dont know that that particular example works or not, but i get what you are saying. Just my little two sense here now. War will never go away, fighting, killing, murder, ignorance, stupidity, racism, people fearing what they dont understand or know and trying to tear it down for just that reason, will always be around. Sadly its become a dark part of what it means to be human. I guess i have a particularly 'special' view of things with all the comics i read, because when you get down to the bottom of things, the most underlying tone of them in the last few decades has been tolerance and acceptance of what is different. I dont consider myself racist, but i wont deny there is hate in my heart from time to time for people who probably dont deserve it, its just part of life.

	Zach	Stiller dressed up in black COAL makeup in the mine scene to blend in with the cave walls to scare his dad. He didn't put black makeup on and pretend to be a black person. And the part when they dressed up as janitors at the end to disguse themselves they weren't portraying black people (or latino people) for an entire movie and labeling the movie as such, so yes, my example does work.

No, Of Course This Isn't About You

Current mood: savage
Category: Music

If you so happened to read my last entry from earlier this evening you'll see that I was wanting to address people that would poke fun and even try to belittle my taste in music or because I would still listen to a band like Nine Inch Nails. The truth is, are you ready for this? I don't think you are? Are you sure? Ok, here goes. I still listen to bands from the 90's. Sorry, I just do. However, I also listen to bands that you've never heard of either that are really fucking good. Here is the deal. There are a lot of people that I know out there that desperately want to be "trendy." Maybe "hipster" would have been a better word because trendy is very broad and it doesn't do the same job as hipster would to accomplish establishing my point. People that only listen to bands that are either not signed or signed to record labels that are "indie" are people that sometimes get on my nerves. Do you know people that play the "oh, I've been fans of them since the dawn of time" game? "I've been a fan of XYZ band for three years before everyone knew who they were." "Well, I discovered them and signed them, so fuck you." That's what I usually like to say to people that do that type of thing.

I get made fun of by a friend of mine for liking Soundgarden still. Why? I'm not sure, probably because he thinks they suck. Not that the sentiment is not authentic, he thought they sucked when they were popular, so I know he's not just saying that now because it's cool to not like "grunge" or popular music from the 90's anymore. They guy cheered when Kurt Cobain killed himself. I should know, he told me the next day in school. Of course this was the same friend who would only wear his Dr. Dre and Cross Colors shirts to Sioux Falls SkyForce games when we were in middle school because he didn't want to be made fun of. So everyone has their own tolerance level for wanting to deal with the oppression of the majority, which I'm not condemning.

Too many people my age subscribe to the "High Fidelity" credo of music, movies, and books defining who you are. To me that part and angle of the movie was always rubbish. The whole point of that movie in the end is that those things in popular culture do not define you and it's the relationships you establish throughout your life that are important. Your preconceived notions on what people like and don't like and how it defines them are usually incorrect. Take the part when John Cusack's character "signs" the shoplifting skaters to his non existent record label because their music is surprisingly good. Don't get me wrong, that is one of my favorite movies. But so was Grosse Pointe Blank. It's 99.8% of the reason I saw High Fidelity in the theater when it came out in the first place. One of about 57 people anyway. Fact is most people are looking to be led, so if that's where you choose to start a belief system, having things in pop culture define you, so be it. Listening to a band no one knows about doesn't make you cool, it makes you resourceful. Being resourceful doesn't make you cool either, but nice try. Anyone can discover cool new music now. It's not that difficult as it was when I got to middle school or high school. I actually had to either find a ride or drive myself to Ernie Novembers (an independent music shop) in Sioux Falls and find stuff out for myself or by word of mouth while there. Or reading Spin when it was actually cool. Listening to "popular music" doesn't make you smart, cool, or funny. Not listening to it doesn't make you any of those qualities either.

Another part of the larger issue here is the way people dress. Look, dressing like the way the latest and greatest indie band dresses is not making a statement, nor do you look hip. I had a friend of mine who dressed like she was homeless/Urban Outfiter poster child for awhile, then dressed like The Strokes when they were hot, the back to homeless then retro t-shirts and outfits with vintage fake tour shirts. That phase drove me the most nuts. I wear t-shirts and jeans most days. T-shirts with sports teams on them. I wear Nike's and white socks made by Hanes. I watch baseball all the goddamn time from April to October and football from September to February. Yet I still listen to music that is seen as "hip" or "trendy." What you listen to or how you dress should not dictate what gives you pleasure in life. I try not to let music or anything define the way I dress or act or anything. That's the point. Being original isn't trying to be different from everyone else. Being original is being different from everyone else by accident, or being the same as most people on the surface but knowing what you are worth and how that makes you unique.

People also make too much of an effort to separate themselves from the rest of the world by displaying an "original" behavior. Those people drive me the craziest. The ones that always stick out in the crowd or your group but drive you up the fucking wall. People that act different for attention and attention alone and consciously do this are retarded. If you are going to react a certain way to something, then have the mind to stop yourself and try to act differently because everyone else is acting the same, you're stupid. That's all. I'm no psychiatrist so I can't articulate and develop this point as much as I would like to.

All in all, when someone likes to blast me that I'm not cool with for liking what I like I don't generally take offense. I just pass them off as being mostly misguided and maybe a little unsure of what they really like or enjoy in life because they have to make themselves feel better at my, or anyone else's expense. I'll still make fun of bands that I think suck, or movies for that matter. I just don't think that if you like said band or movie that you should stop liking them just because myself or someone else says otherwise.

Odds and Sods

Current mood: energetic
Category: Life

Since I made the "announcement" that the lion share of my blogging for the next six months or so would be on my Red Sox blog, I haven't had much to say on here because I focus a lot of my time on baseball. You may also enjoy me being taunted by a certain friend and fellow baseball blogger because I still like Soundgarden. Yes, that Soundgarden. I guess I can take that since I did call him out in a blog of mine recently for liking Deep Blue Something and other assorted garbage in high school. Anyway, since it's been a little while, maybe a week or so, I have some odds and ends type things that have been on my mind that I would like to post for your reading enjoyment.

I've realized that TV sort of sucks. This isn't anything new mind you, but while watching TV with Stephanie last night and then watching a show I actually like on my DVR tonight I'm starting to realize the mostly vapid TV schedule is extremely disappointing. The show I was watching tonight is "30 Rock" and it's one of the only intellegently written shows on television. It's funny the only two other sitcoms that I like are on the same night which are "My Name Is Earl" and "The Office." Not only is Alec Baldwin a laughfest and a riot on this show, Tina Fey is hot. Like, really hot. I've had this thought ever since she took on the "Weekend Update" duties on Saturday Night Live. As much as I liked Norm MacDonald and as much as I loved to hate Colin Quinn, Fey was a nice departure from the dudes. The second and third reasons for liking her so much is that she is smart and funny. Those three are a rare combination for women that are on TV these days. Isn't it awesome that the first reason for liking her is because she's hot? Men will probably never change.

Two major events have happend in the last 10 days. Don Imus has called a New Jersey womans basketball team "nappy headed ho's" and someone in Blacksburg, Virginia popped and killed a few dozen people today. I could have written an entire entry devoted to both subjects, however if any of you readers watch the news I'm sure the saturation in print, online, and on TV will be enough for you. I only have a couple things to say. I find it funny the only time the Reverend Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton show up are when a white person says something stupid about the black community. It is sort of nice to see now that Imus has lost his job that the focus is being turned around on opportunists such as these and see where they really stand on "bettering the black community." I don't feel I have much place to comment on this, since I'm not black, however it will be interesting as an observer to see how things fall for them. Jackson and Sharpton that is, not black people. I am dreading how the next several weeks to few months will transpire for those directly involved with the Virginia Tech shootings today. I know it's tragic and very unfortunate and a lot of families lost a lot today. I don't want to seem so callous that I will be inconvenienced the next few weeks because we as American's will be playing the blame game and how much I hate that, but I will be. That in itself is a sad situation and more sad when you consider how that commentary is a reflection on where American's stand on stories in the media. It's a horrible thing when ANYONE is murdered, not just a highly concentrated amount at one time.

Quick Hits
- I know it's been awhile since one of my widely requested "Things I Hate" entries, but don't fret, I have more coming soon. I'm also deciding on what to write for my next "Favorite Albums" also.

- For those that refuse to read my Sox blog, I'm quite please that they are off to a strong 7 and 4 start and lead the AL East by .5 games. We'll see how they fair against the number one and two teams from said AL East in the next six days.

- In other sports news, the 2007 NFL Draft is in less than two weeks and am I the only one that is not as excited as the rest of the sports world? As the years tick by the more and more I fall out of love with the NFL. Maybe it's because fucking everyone and their dog likes it now. That's usually about the time I check out.

- Here is sort of something I hate. The misuse of the word "irony" "ironic" or "ironical." This may be the most overused word where people really don't know what it means. When you show up late to work, that's not ironic. When Alanis Morissette gets 10,000 spoons when all she needs is a knife, that's not irony either kids. Please do me and everyone that understands the English language to a high school level and grab a dictionary and study up on the definition.

- I've realized that I have less than 6 months until I'm a married man and I have absolutely zero reservations about marriage. Is that bad? I personally don't think so, however most people find this to be strange.

Category: Life

3rd time is a charm, so here we go. And don't dismiss this entry because it's long, because it's about you.

I've never been the most honest peson in the world, whether it's telling the truth and being honest with myself or being myself around others. I've always had issues with how I view myself and it is reflected in the relationships and friendships I've had over the years and how most of them end up broken. I'll just come right out and say it. I am an insecure person. At least now I'm working on breaking that mold. For the longest time I was satisfied to present everyone with anything but the facts when it came to me. If you talk to people that really know me, I mean really know me, I can't honestly tell you what sort of response they would give you if you asked them about me. I think I've been somewhat of an enigma most of my life.

That last statement leaves me very empty. Don't take this the wrong way, I'm not looking for a pity party with this entry, however you get to a certain part of your life when you realize you've fucked up quite a bit over the years and coping with it isn't always the easiest thing in the world to do.

All (by all I mean most) of the friends I have on MySpace I know in real life and have had a relationship with in some capacity. Most of the people are part of groups (seperate from each other) that I've been associated with over the years. Once I have been around people long enough and my bullshit has rubbed off on them, they usually get tired of me and my antics and wash their hands of me. Now while I've sort of reconnected with them through the beauty of MySpace, when I leave comments or send emails I usually don't get any response in return. When I look on all of their pages they all communicate with each other and genuinely like keeping in contact with one another. Can't say I would blame most people on here for not responding to me, it's not like I've let anyone really get to know me over the years. I just put up the same smartass routine to keep people at bay just enough to not really figure out that I'm not comfortable with who I am. I never wanted people to know that. Most of my life I've always wanted to be better than everyone else, but I know I never have been. It may not make sense, but trust me, it's a hard way to live. I think that when I've done that in the past it makes it easy for those I've been friends with to forget about me, because they never really got to know me. Or what I thought was me. Or what they thought was me. I've found that I'm easy to forget about and when I do decide to pop back up again and most often ask themselves or each other "who is this guy?"

Like I said, I don't want a pity party and that's not what I'm looking for. I'm not wanting a bunch of comments from people saying that I really am a good guy and I shouldn't be so down on myself. But I wouldn't be helping myself or honest with myself if that's what I was after.

Rather than focus on the connections I made that were real in my life I was always looking for something I thought was better. Or someone who was "cooler." I wish I were a little more articulate to describe my point a little better but I'm not really capable of tackling that challenge tonight. I think that people that read this that do know me a little bit know what I'm getting at. There were always certain groups of people that I hung out with that I would be ashamed to be seen with or be associated with because they weren't the coolest people around. That was stupid, and I'm sorry for that. I've abandoned and damaged a lot of really good relationships because of my insecurites.

Some of us are honest to a fault, the rest of us are genetically predispositioned in the opposite direction. I greatly respect and admire the former.

I try hard everyday to be honest with the relationships that I have now. It's all I've got right at the moment. I've left myself a very lonely person when it comes to the scope of the friendship pool. That's not to say I need a bunch of friends to feel loved, it's just that the ones that have really mattered to me in the past I feel like I've gone out of my way to erase.

	Derek	One of the hardest things in the world is finding a way to show people who you really are inside. It's tough to try and show people how you see yourself. What i've just read you describe is something that i'm pretty sure every single person in the world has done or felt at one point in their life. Deep down everyone wants to be the alpha male, but some turn out to be the beta or even worse the omega, but how they see themselves when no one else is around doesnt always match their status in life. Believe it or not, even with being the youngest of 4 brothers, and the butt of most of the jokes of "our" group for years, i still think pretty highly of myself inside. I've had times where i thought "god, what dicks, im so much better than them cus i dont stoop to their level". Not saying that makes me a bad guy or a good guy, just saying its normal. And alot of people seem to have this notion that just because "you" are trying to erase them from your life that that means "they" are willing to let you erase them. Ive had plenty of people in my life that have flat out told me im not worth their time anymore, but i still love them dispite it. thats just how cool i am.

	MontERNa	See, I've always been who I am, take it or leave it. I've had periods where I wore my heart on my sleeve a little more - but those were just more disastrous. I think I end up losing friendships because people have some strange idea that at some point, I'll settle down - be less loud, less outgoing, less opinionated - I dunno. But that doesn't happen and they go away. I've never been someone else's "best friend," their #1. That makes me sad, I won't lie. But then I remember that now I have so many GREAT friends - the ones who stick around are always really amazing people who bless my life every day. So anyway, those are my thoughts.

You're a really good guy, Zach and you shouldn't be so down on yourself. IS THAT WHAT YOU WANTED, YOU NAPPY HEADED HO?!?!? I can relate to all the mushy stuff you mentioned in your (once again) mile-long blog. I didn't know you were a friggin' liar...thanks for the heads up. I suppose all these things happen as you get old. And then you die. I'm pretty sure second-guessing the way you've lived or the friendships you've gained or lost never ends. It's strange to me because most people are brought up to think that they must be surrounded by others at all times...then high school ends, figuratively speaking. I can definitely say it's hard not to dwell on all the "what if's" as I get older, but if I had done the things that I didn't do or vice/versa I probably wouldn't be sitting here posting a reply on your blog... ...and the space-time continuum goes on.

New Blog

Current mood: sick
Category: Blogging

I was going to use MySpace to blog about the Red Sox but I figured that most of my readers don't give a shit about baseball, let alone my baseball team. So anyway, if you would like to read my new blog, here it is. It's nothing spectacular as I'm sick and don't really feel like writing that much. I am completely ripping off my friend Matt who has a blog concerning the Minnesota Twins just for the record and to prevent any future lawsuits. Anyway, be sure to bookmark my site and keep up with me and my team! Yes, I will still be updating this blog regularly as I do more than just watch baseball from here until (hopefully) October. Not much though, even though I do have a wedding somewhere in there .
