don't fence me in!

it seems our neighbors to the south are flush with cash again. what to do if you run out of cool spending ideas?

BUILD A FECKIN FENCE ALONG THE CANADIAN BORDER!

they've even got a cool web site detailing the Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement for CBP Activities Along the Northern Border of the United States

to be fair they're not talking about building a 6400 kilometer fence. nope, they're just going to build it in strategic areas of high risk. we might be stupid but i'm pretty sure we'll pick a spot without fencing if we want to sneak across.

i can picture the al qaeda boys watching the fence being built on their satellite tv's and giving each other high fives as the american deficit climbs. the war will be won through the wombs of their women and the financial strains resulting from their terrorist shenanigans.

i hope the american leaders don't expect us to pay half the cost of building the fence. we might give them a 10% discount on the price of canadian hardwood but that's as far as we'll go.

on a brighter note, the lovely mrs myshkin is in new york for the next week or so. so i got that going for me too which is really, really, really nice!



i love you sons of bitches.

what a bunch of whiners!

whilst we spoiled, lazy and largely overweight if not obese westerners bitch and squawk about paying an extra nickel in taxes or not having some government agency wipe our ass for us people in less fortunate countries will do almost ANYTHING FOR A BUCK.

a few highlights from the story:

Sheikh's father is also a rat catcher. His brothers sell vegetables from a cart and wish they could be rat catchers too.

Instead, they curl themselves, all 15 of them, into a 13-square-meter (140-square-foot) space with peeling paint, tattered plastic bags to hold their clothes and a fan that leaves everyone sweating.

while a certain country we all know and love has been spending trillions bombing the shit of impoverished nations its citizens have been demanding lower taxes and increased government entitlements. can you say HELLO GREECE!

we in the great white north have felt almost no pain in the current economic malaise unless you check on your global investments most mornings. why have we felt little pain? because the poor rat catchers and rummagers of chinese garbage have increased demand for oil and base metals. shit, if it gets too hard for some fat shit to walk the government will pay for an electric scooter. shit, fucking asshole evangelists are more concerned with curing homosexuality than curing poverty. we protest like crazy if some murderer gets snuffed for his crimes but don't blink when thousands die in drought stricken africa.

on a different note, i hear this song every morning when i open windows media player. it's a mystery to me why this happens, must be god's will. his priorities are all fucked up too.

one lousy tomato

a summer of love and nurturing has resulted in one lousy ripe tomato!



if i'm lucky enough to get a week of sunny warm weather there could be many more ripe tomatoes but there are 2 chances of that happening and slim just left town. the most memorable moment of growing these beauties was when i noticed the first tomato forming on the vine. i had an instinctive reaction that got me in hot water with the lovely mrs myshkin. without thinking i loudly blurted out; "fuck me, i got a tomato!"
unfortunately my elderly neighbor was in his yard and the lovely mrs myshkin was on the deck and they both heard my excitement. so it goes.

remember the good old days on tv before political correctness?

nirvana

have you ever experienced nirvana?

nirvana is a difficult thing to put your finger on but that can be a good thing. in my mind i experienced nirvana 2 nights ago. years ago i felt that i would come close to experiencing nirvana through meditation. i might have come close a few times but probably missed it by a fair margin.

several years ago whilst riding my bike through a light rain before the sun came up i experienced true bliss and i'll never forget the moment. occasionally i'll try and find the perfect gear and the perfect pace and i got lucky that day. the fact that it was dark, there was no traffic and the air was very clean had a great deal to do with it. there's just something about riding a bike in pure silence with a soft breeze and a light shower of rain that is magical to me. it's the sort of thing that just happens. if you think about it and try to achieve it, it'll never happen.

i started watching lexx about a week ago and it was a little tedious to begin with. the episodes were 2 hours long and i was constantly pressing the display button to see how much time was left. episode three was finishing up when lexx took off from the planet and began it's journey through time and space when i was overcome by bliss. to be fair, this episode of bliss was electronically aided by surround sound and a little herbal refreshment earlier in the evening but i was in total bliss for a few minutes as lexx traveled through space and i was immersed in some sweet music.

so i got that going for me too, which is nice.



i love you sons of bitches.
