my boy newt

after a long soul searching deliberation i've decided to throw my support behind speaker newt. of the 4 remaining candidates newt is definitely the most interesting. he's been married 3 times, wants to turn school children into janitors and now he wants to ESTABLISH A PERMANENT COLONY ON THE MOON.

my support of newt isn't worth a hill of beans since i'm not a citizen of the most heavily indebted nation on the planet but i can tell supporters of the other 3 candidates to go fuck themselves should the opportunity present itself. if i was given the opportunity to kick only one of them in the nuts, it would be that santorum douchebag. his family and religious preaching makes me what to puke. so it goes.

as a supporter of the newt, i think this would be the perfect theme song for a man of vision: (even if you don't like newt, this is worthing watching)



i've recently converted to the "two-seed-in-the-spirit predestinarian baptist" faith.

i love you sons of bitches.

queen for a day

two big events on planet earth today, jan 23, 2012.

1.chinese new year, kung hei fat choi. if you see a dragon, shoot the prick.

2. ruby turns 10 years old.

can you guess which one is more important to me?






so happy feckin new year, which leads me to this question:





my new years resolution:

i'm going to love these discarded americans, even though they're useless and unattractive. that is going to be my work of art.

i love you sons of bitches.

blah, blah, blah....

do you ever get sick and tired of people bitching and moaning about everything?

me too.



many, many good things have i bought.
many, many bad things have i fought.

i love you sons of bitches.

this and that

the christmas blend starbucks bag of beans is a keeper. i've always cursed starbucks and vowed never to spend any of my hard earned cash there so when i used a gift card that was given to me at xmas i was expecting the worst but surprise, surprise; i like it! it tastes excellent freshly brewed and served in a china coffee mug. i can never understand how people would pay big money to drink coffee out of a paper cup. good thing i invested the whole gift card in beans and picked up 4 bags.

watching deadwood last night i heard my favorite deadwood quote:

andy, a former degenerate gambler, announced to e.b. farnum that he is no longer a degenerate gambler but is now preaching the gospel and ministering to the sick.

farnum replies - "and how does the new racket pay?" god bless e.b.!

i finally met a pop up ad that i liked. i'm sure everyone hates pop up ads but yesterday a pop up ad was like a message from heaven. an ad popped up for an adidas sale. i've been looking for new pair of adidas sneakers for quite a while but haven't had any success so i clicked on the ad and presto, i found the sneakers i've been looking for. i got a pair of stan smith sneakers half price!! lucky me. i'll be even luckier when and if they arrive. so i got that going for me too, which is real nice.

how about a little fiddle music:



i wonder if people smoke pot at andy rieu's concerts. i'd rather see andy rieu than any rock star. i must be getting old.

i love you sons of bitches.

horses and gold

have i ever mentioned that i don't like cops? have i ever mentioned that i like gold?

my favorite nephew, almost a captain of industry, gave me this book for christmas:



it details the the struggles, successes and failures of the men and women who caught gold fever in the 1890's and flocked to the yukon in search of their fortune. the hardships these men and women endured in search of wealth were extraordinarily harsh. i can't imagine today's men and women of western culture enduring and surviving that ordeal. before reading this book i was aware of the difficulties these people faced but hadn't considered the fate of dogs and horses in the gold rush. here is a excerpt from jack london's account of the gold rush:

"the horses died like mosquitoes in the first frost......and rotted in heaps. they died at the rocks, they were poisoned at the summit, and they starved at the lakes; they fell off the trail, what there was of it, or they went through it; in the river they drowned under their loads, or were smashed to pieces against the boulders; they snapped their legs in the crevices and broke their backs falling backward with their packs; in the sloughs they sank from sight or smothered in the slime, they were disemboweled in the bogs where the corduroy logs turned up in the mud; men shot them to death, worked them to death, and when they were gone, went back to the beach and bought more. some did not bother to shoot them, stripping the saddles off and the shoes and leaving them where they fell. their hearts turned to stone - those which did not break - and they became beasts, the men on the Dead Horse Trail."

this might be my favorite hoyt axton song. the son of a bitch disabled embedding so you'll have to click this:

WATER FOR MY HORSES

i love you son's of bitches.

ouch

the great speaker adventure is over. future shop reversed their decision about giving us the free second speaker. the whole thing was a complete clusterfuck. a few people managed to get the free second speaker but i was not one of them. i gave up and returned my speaker today. i picked up the 88 pound son of a bitch last night to see if i could carry it. it didn't seem too heavy but an hour later the groin muscle i pulled years ago started to ache so today i employed a different strategy. i flipped it end over end through our back yard to the mighty x5 and managed to get it into the back. at the parking lot i slid it out and started flipping it end over end toward the store. a few people offered to help me carry it but i was determined to give it a rough ride. once i entered the store i flipped it to customer service and was very vocal about what a bunch of fucking crooks they were. i got an additional $25 gift card for my troubles. so after all was said and done i ended up with $175 in gift cards and a sore groin. oh yeah, the lovely mrs myshkin will be saying "i told you so" for the next month or two.

i received a starbucks gift card for xmas. it put me in a tough spot, i've never bought a cup of coffee at starbucks and wanted to keep that record intact. luckily sonny told me that they were selling their christmas blend coffee beans at half price so guess what i bought!



so now it's official, i have more coffee than brains.

i love you sons of bitches.

happy new year!

after reading my tea leaves and being the victim of an excellent accident it looks like 2012 is going to be very good year for me and ruby.

1. i decided to look for my lucky turtle ring this morning. i didn't find the ring but found something even better, 600 bucks! lucky me.

2. i received an e-mail from future shop, the outfit that caused me grief over ordering the $1500 speakers for $349. Not only am i going to get 2 speakers rather than the one speaker they were offering, i got a $150 e-gift to compensate for the aggravation they caused. lucky me.

3. this is the event that really made me think 2012 would be an excellent year, i had the best bowel movement recent memory. lucky me.

so the mayans can go fuck themselves, 2012 is going to be a great year for me.



i love you sons of bitches.
