Joe's Blög

so looking forward to 20 Jan. On that day war will be over, america will be driving plug in hybrids, using nucular, solar, wind, and hydro power, beluga whales will be breeding, everyone will have health care, the death tax will be back to 50%, Shasta McNasty will be back the air, everyone will be unionized, the rich will be taxed so that everyone who wants to will be able to go to Harvard (not just the rich relatives of rich children of former students), and by extension anyone can once again be president, Tupac will be in shopping malls everywhere, we’ll give all the stolen land back to the mexicans and indians…

yeah. It’s morning in america again…

Russian Colleague: I really like your great 19th century beard. It was a great romantic era. It’s a pity more men don’t wear beards like that anymore.

2.0: Joe, I can’t get over how much you look like Wolverine right now.

Puts Marie 1 May 2009 @ dreikoenigskeller…mark your calenders now!

I’m still trying to figure out the statue of limitations on how soon you are expected to recover after bad things happen…

i.e. How soon after the fact can you can say things like  “it happened”, “turn the page”, “we get it…it was grim, move on”, “dealwithit”, “get over it”, etc.
i.e. slavery, genocide, war crimes, the Crusades, the holocaust, The Spanish inquisition, the creation of Israel, voter fraud, being lied to, being slapped, overly-hot coffee, overly-cold food, bad service at a restaurant, bad Indian food, Yoko Ono, your second grade photo.
i.e. if someone is willing to say something like “the crusades were a long time ago, it happened, deal with it, move on”, then 2 seconds later someone farted in their general direction would they immediately say “Oh well…life goes on”.
If not what’s the real difference between the two?

Happy Birthday Jesse Garon Presley…party at dreikoenigskeller, but alas, I miss it again.

A British colleague said to me “Wrong country joe” as I was getting in the elevator as she took the stairs…hmmpphhhh. I’ll always be a foreigner in this land until I skip the elevator.
Is that communist or libertarian thinking to say that all words and music belong to “the people”?
Is Jorge Lukaas going to suit me for mimicking Chewbacca?

Julia (upon hearing Possessed by Paul James): He’s funny, but it’s giving me a headache.
Me: It’s almost over…
Julia: cuz that’s what you want to hear when you’re listening to music….It’s almost over…

I had a new pizza yesterday. Mr. Pizza…Joeys may have a rival…it was damn good!!!

…and mate you have to differentiate between written Squiresitis and verbal Squiresitis…they are somehow opposites, or parallel opposites, or opposite paradigms or something…

my dad likes radiohead…heh….that’s cool! I always appreciated how my dad was always willing to listen to whatever crap I happened to bring home and keep an open mind about it…

speaking of music…I’ve downloaded several great albums in the past few weeks. I’m almost ready to compile my favourite albums of 2007…I say 2007 becuase I like to see what I’m listening to a year later. Isn’t that how you know  it’s a good album…

This is my living room…

Thanks to ,,Vampire Weekend” for inspiring me to make an effort to learn what an oxford comma is…They’re so punk for bucking American English establishment.
They still only make me think of Paul Simon’s ,,Rhythm of the Saints” when listening to their album. To my well aged ears he would be their biggest single influence.

They are also to be commended for writing songs about things that are important to them…I’m feeling strangely empoweredinspiredidealistic, and stuff. Allow me to illustrate below:
