Well Happy Flag Day! Yep, today is one of the days we Americans are supposed to hang the old Red White and Blue outside our homes proudly. My flag was ruined during the winter and I've yet to purchase a new one. Pity, because it added some color to an otherwise drab exterior.
It's been a pretty busy week here for me. I hadn't had time to listen to much new music. I am in the process of learning a new language called HTML, or blog speak would be a better word. In order for me to get efficient in this thing called blogging, there is a whole set of rules that u need to know in order to do cool stuff like adding pictures to highlighted words, and all of theses terms that let the computer know that what ur typing is what you want printed. It is not fun and I get lost and pissed off upon every reading of the info that I have printed out. Fooey on technology, but hopefully it will click like most things do with me.So far "Not So Much".
So what happened around the U.S. this week. Well that Miss California lady got to hear Donald Trump's favorite words. Your Fired is the phrase I'm thinking of. It seems while she crusaded across the country spreading her own good word, it seems she forgot she had contractual obligations that actually had to do with her tiara. She was asked to turn that in along with her sash and sceptor. I'm sure they are going to let her keep the boobs that the pageant paid for.
David Letterman managed to bunch up Sarah Palin's panties this week after a joke was made about A Rod(Ball player) knocking up her daughter during a recent visit to the ball park. If you ask me A Rod should have been madder than Palin. It's good to see Letterman cross the line once in a while. He is getting older and a bit more mellow in his wit.
The U.S. is also into selling prisoners it seems. Rather than figure out what to do with these guys, we just shopped around to see who would buy our current residents of Guantanamo. Hey the republicans love capitalism, so they should be happy for Thailand for striking a deal. I'd be willing to take one for far less than what they are going for.
My lawn needs mowing and I could easily electrify my fence!
Chastity Bono announced that she will be having gender reassignment surgery. That's one way to top Mom in the elective surgery department! After seeing a few recent pics, I only have one question. What sex will she be transitioning to? Chastity has gotten a bit large and I'm not sure if she is officially Chaz yet. She looks like one of the Nelson twins after a bad patch. I'm all about people being happy, so go to it!
How about a tune? Well that's what we're here for, after all. Josh Ritter has been around for a while. I remember playing some of his stuff when i was spinning at The Iron Monkey in Jersey City a number of years ago. Josh was born in Idaho and both of his parents were neuroscientists. Cool that they got a musician out the pairing. Josh pursued studies in neurscience, but the music bug bit him and he attended music school in Scotland. He soon started making enough money to be a full time musician and got signed. He was influenced by Bob Dylan and early Johnny Cash. His stuff is light and doesn't always lean to hard core folk. This week's song is called "Right Moves" and to these ears , it has a certain amount of Lennon to it. It's a good summer song. Enjoy.
I didn't get to do any research this week for celebrity birthdays, but it looks like I typed enough to intrude on your day in a reasonable amount. Have a great week.
