Another Virgin Mary sighting… On the cover of Playboy

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

Playboy Mexico’s Holiday issue has sparked a bit of a controversy, Model María Florencia Onori from Argentina is on the cover bearing a striking resemblance to Mary… Jesus’s Mom. The title on the cover says:  ”Te Adoramos María,” the Spanish — “We adore you, Mary”. This was published last week on the exact date when millions of Mexicans celebrate the festival of the Virgin of Guadalupe. Very important, not only for Mexicans but for all Latino-Americans. Playboy of course denies any correlation between the magazine cover and Mary or the festival. The publisher for Playboy Mexico said: ”The image is not and never was intended to portray the Virgin of Guadalupe or any other religious figure.” 

Now the Catholic Church and others are calling this a desperate attempt to sell magazines. I don’t find this desperate though, I find it to be a regular marketing ploy. Businesses use all of our holidays to sell their products. I guess my thing is, if you don’t like what they are doing, don’t buy it. Fact is they are doing nothing illegal and Hugh Hefner is The Man. Period. 

On a different note about old Hugh, he shipped out his 3 tramps and moved in two knockout twins… Who I imagine are also tramps, God he is the man.

Sports + Government Interaction = Bullshit

Friday, December 12th, 2008

So once again our Government has decided to get it’s hands into sports. This week Congressman Joe Barton, R-Texas, convened a BCS hearing. Stating that he wanted to figure out if the BCS (Bowl Championship Series) was an illegal business. Funny thing is, he had not said anything until his beloved Texas Longhorns did not make the Big 12 Title game and therefor had no real shot of playing in the National Title game (UF vs OK). Sounds like an abuse of power to me. Since this has came up three other members of Congress have stepped forward, calling the Justice Department to investigate the BCS. Representatives, Neil Abercrombie (D-Hawaii), Lynn Westmoreland (R-Ga.) and Mike Simpson (R-Idaho) are introducing a resolution rejecting the often criticized bowl system as an illegal restriction on trade because only the largest universities compete in most of the major bowl games. The resolution would require Justice’s antitrust division to investigate whether the system violates federal law. Again let us look at the people behind this move, Neil Abercrombie (D-Hawaii)… Hawaii has had some good seasons as of late, even undefeated seasons. They however have not made the national title game, while 1 loss teams have. Thing is, Hawaii rarely plays any ranked schools, so based on their strength of schedule they shouldn’t make the title game. If it just went directly to the undefeated teams, our big schools would stop scheduling other big schools and all we would have is blowouts all year…. no fun. Same thing can be said for Mike Simpson (R-Idaho) whose home team, Boise State has also went undefeated without reaching the national title game. Same story there, they don’t play enough good teams to deserve to play for the title. Lynn Westmoreland (R-Ga.) watched his Georgia Bulldogs not make the title game last year and is now taking this opportunity to cry about it.

Look, I agree that the system may be flawed with all of these computer rankings and this ridiculous equation that makes the BCS tick, but I also think that our Justice Department is better served looking out for our interests elsewhere. Remember last time that Congress got involved… Last years Baseball Steroids fiasco… nothing came of that either. Plus at least with that everyone knew that Steroids are illegal to take no matter what. Here they are talking about a system agreed upon by everyone in 1998. College Football will fix this in due time, Congress needs to stick to fixing our economy and that little 7 year war that we have been involved in. I am personally ashamed of these Congressmen for abusing their power like this.

Dying to prove a retarded point.

think about it. I have been, and while tossing around the idea of quitting my job (sike!), moving to hawaii and hanging on the beach everyday, i started pondering some things. dying for something no one cared about…that would suck. dying to prove a point that was so important to you, but in reality, no one else even cared about it. thats what this is about right here.

Christopher McCandless - do you remember this guy? they made a movie on him.


What He Tried to Prove:
That he didn’t need the shallow comforts of modern life, damnit.

The Method:
Everyone, at some point in their life, has had the desire to just leave it all behind. For some people, this involves starting over in another country, for others, it involves cancelling their World of Warcraft subscription. Christopher McCandless decided, fuck it, he’d just leave his family, and all of civilization, behind.
McCandless had a strong contempt for the “empty materialism of American society,” and just took off to live in the wild of Alaska, with little to no food or equipment. Just the way nature intended!

What He Actually Proved:
That the corrupt, capitalist society he so loathed was pretty much the only thing keeping him alive. Though the book on McCandless’s life and the movie it spawned were sympathetic to the whole situation, many Alaskans believe that he was foolish to embark on such a lifestyle without the appropriate skills or equipment, such as a map or compass. Or common sense.

The Moral of The Story:
The man who set out to prove we didn’t need frivolities like houses and electricity wound up being the poster child for keeping your job and not moving to the mountains to be a weirdo. Good job, Chris.

So you think your BMW makes you a baller? Maybe your 7 Jeans, Ed Hardy shirt, and Dior sunglasses make you feel like you’re “doin it”. This right here though is some next level shit, like Oh My God, I don’t know what to do with all of my money status. Maybe this will motivate everyone to take there “Scrooge McDuck Paper Stack” to that level. Peep it.

thought i would drop everyone a line. My lack of contribution to this site probably has been visible. Based on the sheer fact that my life can be broken down into a constant tour book. Life on the road has left very little time to catch up on events that are shaping the political, economic, and social issues. I have gotten though an amazing opportunity to travel this country and have enjoyed almost every minute of it. We are a little over the half way point and their are still over 20 shows to play. Road Zombie status has been achieved and my spirit was certainly broken in Towson, MD. Looking forward to what this last month of tour holds and what doors open up in the near future. See you all soon as we make our way back to the West Coast.

A little perspective, bit of a history lesson too.

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

So I don’t know where this came from and it is totally random but I was brushing up on some history and started thinking about this. In a day in time when it can be hard to find something to be excited about when it comes to our country and the way it is right now, think about our religious freedoms that we have. Imagine if you lived in pre-reformation times and the Catholic Church was not only the Church but basically the government as well, no choices only Catholic. Also you had to pay “Indulgences” to even have a Chance to get to heaven… paying to get to heaven. I guess the point of this is to say that we still have the freedom to choose our religion and personal convictions.

I know the market is for shit right now, but I guess you just gotta have faith, whether it be in God, Ala, George Bush, Barack Obama, or Sarah Palin… whoops I meant John McCain haha

Global diversification… or just drink more Beer?

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

So I read this and got a good quick laugh out of it. Check it out cyber highwayers…

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago,
        you will have $49.00 today.
       
        If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you will
        have $33.00 today.
       
        If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago,
        you will have $0.00 today.
       
        But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all
        the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for recycling refund, you
        will have received a $214.00.
       
        Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink
        heavily & recycle. It is called the 401-Keg.
       
        A recent study found that the average American walks about 900 miles a
        year.
       
        Another study found that Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of
        alcohol a year.
       
        That means that, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the
        gallon!
       
        Makes you proud to be an American!

 oh… and if you choose to drink good old American Light Beer, choose one that will keep your money in the U.S. as Budweiser was bought by In Bev Brewing of Belgium…. Coors Light is what I recommend….. Cheers!
