The Departed….

admin — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 03:02:09 +0000

I have a confession to make, oh Internet Ether of the Way Beyond! Yep! I have really enjoyed watching Blood Diamond and The Departed, starring Leonardo DiCaprio!

The Departed… With Jack Nicholson, Matt Damon, DiCaprio and Mark Wahlberg (is that how you spell his name?), is one of the great Crime Thrillers (or will be) of the past 30 years!

Check it out if you get a chance! If you like American Gangster or the Godfather movies, you will probably like this movie!

Chinchy With The Ketchup!

Here is a little exercise… Think of every single person that you have ever shared a meal with… Informal food. Fast food, specifically. Of all those people, how many consumed “french fries” without ketchup? Okay, so you met a person in 1988 that did not like the ketchup condiment with “french fries”… But come on… If your soul is dilapidated enough to visit a fast food joint, then you are going to want to have some ketchup with those damned fries.

Apparently Wendy’s does not know this… And, granted, I usually do not eat “fast food,” specifically because it takes too long (if that makes sense)…

So, anyway, I pull up to the radio thingy and order a Spicy Chicken Combo. I pull up to the first window and pay $6.55. I pull up to the second window, get my food and drive away.

When I get back to my office I find that there is not even one goddamned package of ketchup in the bag. Of course, being the bitchy and whiney bastard that I am, I complain about this to a coworker, and she explains to me that Wendy’s does not automatically give condiments to customers unless the customers specifically requests said condiments.

Not even ONE package of Ketchup? Surely they don’t cost over 20 freaking cents each, right? WTF? Why no ketchup?

I look at it like this, my dear friends at Wendy’s, No Ketchup, No Brad!

The Third Place?

Where is this third place? This place that is not home and not work?

Time Travel!

What a way to go!

Maybe we all fantasize about traveling back in time “to where I am standing now”… Say 300 years! Or 500 years! Or a Million years.

All of that sounds interesting… String theories. Precognition. Theories of Everything. Perpetual Machines….

But, at least now (being that our brains are so “small”)… I think it is all a little far-fetched.

I really need 14 million bucks today. Just 14 million…

The first thing I would build?

A post-modern / industrial home…. Shaped like an office building… Like a minature skyscraper… With lots of metal and glass and concrete… A concrete drainage ditch running right through the middle… With steel grates over it… About a foot wide and deep.

Yes, and similar bugalows back behind the pool. Modern and Industrial, but clean and comfortable.

Yes….

It is Friday. Finally! Right?

clouds formed by human dander….

So, I am outside… Lounging on my son’s trampoline, staring at the sky…. The clouds… Feeling the sunshine and light breeze touch my face… At any rate, I am listening to a podcast that suggested that clouds are formed (in some part) by human dander (dead skin cells fallen from our bodies)….

Hmmmm….. That is surely interesting… Still awesome (in the true sense of the word), but a little gross… I guess?
