GREETINGS FROM THE HUMUNGUS! THE LORD HUMUNGUS! THE WARRIOR OF THE WASTELAND! THE AYATOLLAH OF ROCK AND ROLLA!

so, i sat through all three MAD MAX movies last night. it started at 8PM, i was in my car headed home at 2:13AM....it was pretty awesome. i think those movies are like most super famous trilogies. the first one is good, in the second everything falls into place, and it sets the bar super high for itself. then they cast tina turner in the last one, have a directing scandal, Max gets taken to an ewok village and the whole damed thing falls apart....

WELCOME TO ANOTHER EDITION OF THUNDERDOME!

well, here's a quote from the first one, since i've done the other two - i want to be fair :)

I AM THE NIGHTRIDER! I'M A FUEL INJECTED SUICIDE MACHINE! I AM THE ROCKER, I AM THE ROLLER, I AM THE OUT OF CONTROLLER! 

anyone else?

i thought ms. franklin kinda sucked...anyone else? i think mary j. would have been better! i loved yoyo! holy crap, that man can make a cello talk, it's incredible :)
our new president didn't pull any punches. i liked his speech and i like, i've always liked him. i've just never appreciated the rock star energy people put into him. but maybe i should see it as refreshing instead of annoying? heck i voted for the guy, and i support him, and i'm excited for the next 4 years. i truly hope it's better than the last 8.

not for me...thanks anyway

i can't think of any place i'd rather not be right now than washington d.c. holy crap! i hate crowds, and this might be the biggest anywhere in the U.S. in a long time. take a moment to read this article on slate....any questions?!? yuck!
good luck mr. pres. i hope you live up to your promises. so far you don't have to do anything to instill hope and optimism in about half the country...i'm looking forward to seeing how you put that power into practice :)

TAG - i'm it?

ok, GM you tagged me...so i'll do the questions. anyone else that reads this sweet page - kathrine maybe? can certainly consider themselves tagged too.

1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Write six random things about yourself.
4. Tag six people at the end of your post and link to them.
5. Let each person know they’ve been tagged and leave a comment on their blog.
6. Let the tagger know when your entry is up.

My six:
1.) i just found out i have IBS...well, formally i guess

2.) i don't work nearly as hard as i should at my job...

3.) i try to see both sides to arguments, and i try to be level headed about people's problems. but when i have my own problems...it's not that way....do as i say - not as i do!

4.) i think that because my brother is marrying a german girl, that i will - in turn - be german.

5.) i didn't think VALKYRIE was that bad...a guy at work wants to see it dubbed in german, i think that is a really stupid idea.

6.)i'm beginning to actually like los angeles...

the above rules really don't apply to my blog. but if you're reading, you're tagged. let me know if you do the 6...

happy new year!

vote

i voted this morning. since i live in CA i know my vote for president is already taken care of for me. but we had sooooo many state and local measures to vote on, it was super important for me and everyone else in the state to get out there and do it. we had 12 state measures and 6 or 7 local things. ridiculous! but it's done now, and i only really care about one of the measures. so that made it a little easier. i mean, i voted on each one, and have an opinion on each one, but i only really care about one of them....number 8! no no no no......

last 4th of july

yes, a bird shat in my eye...

i was assisted soon after this was taken. but blogger doesn't want to upload those....maybe you can see later :)
