turn the fan on high!!!!!!!!!

lets start this off by letting everyone in the universe know that I hate
the heat and in some parts the summer as well.
(of course, this being directed to a universe of at the most
maybe ~38 people, which is a universe in its own)

Anyways the summer is filled with everyone being all hunky dory
and happy and taking long walks and strolls on the beach
I mean it just makes me sick sometimes , give me a cool, calm coffee
shop for my dismay. "She destroyed me with a smile...."

with that being said, we had one of the greatest weekend ever for my bro's
stupendous 25th year in the living. Long live king tiny tim and his band
of merry pranksters. Nothing could have stopped him from going canoeing
his ankle was the size of watermelon and completely blue and purple and
he still hobbled one foot and all to get into the canoe for a little relaxation
and canoebedoobie sensations.

mad dash laughing sounds and juiceboxes smashed under foot
sounding like broken ankle ligaments born beneath cannabis high and
endless charades and of course oglivie ready and able in camouflage fatigues
to fight the eternal fight with extra firewood for the bonfire.

I mean what else could you
ask for....

Would it have been worth while, To have bitten off the matter with a smile,

I have been going through old letters and notes
the last couple of days and it always brings me into some
kind of lull, not in any bad way, but more like the feeling
of sitting and staring at something and then realizing
its 3 in the morning and you have been staring at the
wall for about 4 hours holding an old postcard and ticket stub

don' really know how to describe it, just
a rush of old emotions and senses mixed with the random
progression of time and getting older
a little meloncholy, a little bit envious of days gone by
,and more than anything a feeling of amazement at how much
I have changed over the years and how much I am exactly the
same as I was in that small slice of time.

"In this world there are only two tragedies.
One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it."

Burn em, Burn em all...

as per usual the most interesting news stories get buried somewhere on page 12.
has anyone read any of the information coming out on Philip Cooney. The guy just recently
resigned as the chief of staff for the White House Council on Environmental Quality, (which devises and promotes the administration's policies on environmental issues), because he he apparently
edited a bunch of scientific documents to make them fit into the white house's agenda.

"He removed or adjusted descriptions of climate research that had already been approved by government scientists...The White House denied Mr Cooney, a former oil industry advocate, watered down the reports.
It said the changes were part of a normal inter-agency review process. "

how the hell does an Oil man with no scientific background become the head honcho on environmental
affairs??

He was a lobbyist at the American Petroleum Institute, the largest oil industry trade group and is also a lawyer by training, with no scientific background.

The New York Times reported that he made dozens of changes to reports issued in 2002 and 2003, and many appeared in final versions of major administration climate report, such as the insertion of the phrase "significant and fundamental" before the word "uncertainties", and adding the word "extremely" to the sentence, "The attribution of the causes of biological and ecological changes to climate change or variability is extremely difficult."

In a section on the need for research into how warming might change water availability and flooding, he crossed out a paragraph describing the projected reduction of mountain glaciers and snow-pack.
His note in the margins explained that this was "straying from research strategy into speculative findings/musings."

anyways now since he has resigned he has taken a job with exxon/mobil which is a natural
career choice for anyone concerned with the environment, but we all know this already.

MoveOn.Ola's

gotta give props to fask for that one...so good...
"this place is lame...its time to MoveOn."
maybe one of the best new phrases to enter the rotation
".Ola's..."

if anyone had any doubts, moving BLOWS

I am constantly surrounded by boxes of shit that I have no
idea what is in them or where anything is that I actually need
why the hell are there so many boxes of towels, I could swear I have
2 maybe 3 tops, but they just keep multipying
that and old remote controls and weird wrench and socket kits
in small gray plastic boxes.

"would the prescence of junkies account for all of these uneatern french fries?"

it really is kinda disgusting at all of the shit I have, how much
material crap I own. I wish all of my cd's would just magically transfer
onto my harddrive.

okay so here is my moral dilemna
is it okay to sell something given to you as a gift, on ebay?

I mean if you are not using it, you might as well get something for it
for some reason I have this sneaky suspicion that there is some kind
of secret law against it though, kinda like throwing away old birthday cards.

I have decided to go with my most recent philosophy
that you can sell or throw anything away
that wasn't given to you by your immediate family or significant other,
besides that
everything else is fair game.
