Goodbye February

Buy Buy!  Great Month.  


Here's what I found on Wikipedia!

February was named after the Latin term februum, which means purification, via the purification ritual Februa held on February 15 (full moon) in the old lunar Roman calendar. January and February were the last two months to be added to the Roman calendar, since the Romans originally considered winter a monthless period. They were added by Numa Pompilius about 713 BC. February remained the last month of the calendar year until the time of the decemvirs (c. 450 BC), when it became the second month. At certain intervals February was truncated to 23 or 24 days; and a 27-day intercalary month, Intercalaris, was inserted immediately after February to realign the year with the seasons.

Libya as an Italian Colony

Times were good in the Italian Colony of Libya, until Mussolini got all crazy.  So you all know how it ended.  But let's check out how it began.  In 1911, Italy invades Tripoli and takes over.  They reign supreme for 50 years until Mussolini joins Hitler and attacks the rest of the world.  Mussolini used the Libyan super highway to attack Egypt during WWII.  So the Italians lost there little Colony once the allies came in and took over everything.

Now. 70 years later.  The country is in the grips of a massive Civil War. Read more important stuff about the current crisis:

But let's not forget the good ol' days, when  you could crush a segment of the population without anyone even hearing about it.  Then have your Grand Prix through the city!  Ahhhhhh! 1933.

Government Shutdown vs. Government Shutdown

So, we might not get our Social Security payments.  Poor Retirees!

Or you could live in Libya, and a Government Shutdown means Civil War!

Used books are More Expensive!

I don't know what's happening. But it's always fun to find a book that you've signed to someone and they turn around and sell it for $50. Really? I'm either a total superstar or it's an error. Well, if you have to tell yourself, your a super star, it can't be true. Okay, so it's an error!

Still though, you should buy it for $49.99. Whomever buys it and show us the amazon receipt and we'll write a 2 page story about you and submit it to LA WEEKLY, but we can't guarantee they'll print it, we'll also send you a copy!! Whooooo

Libya is bombing it's own people

Lyrics for the New Radiohead song.

I will slip myself into your pocket
Invisible, do what you want, do what you want
I will sink and I will disappear
I will slip into the groove and cut me up and cut me up

There's an empty space inside my heart
Where the wings take root
So now I'll set you free
I'll set you free
There's an empty space inside my heart
And it won't take root
Tonight I'll set you free
I'll set you free

Slowly we unfurl
As lotus flowers
And all I want is the moon upon a stick
Dancing around the pit
Just to see what it is
I can't kick the habit

Just to feed your fast ballooning head
Listen to your heart

We will sink and be quiet as mice
While the cat is away and do what we want
Do what we want

There's an empty space inside my heart
And now it won't take root
And now I set you free
I set you free

Because all I want is the moon upon a stick
Just to see what it is
Just to see what gives
Take the lotus flowers into my room
Slowly we unfurl
As lotus flowers
All I want is the moon upon a stick
Dance around a pit
The darkness is beneath
I can't kick the habit
Just to feed my fast ballooning head
Listen to your heart

Looming Government Shutdown and Wild Wild Weather

Congressman Boehner is firing a million  people.

and, oh yea, we thought we should let everyone within 4 miles of the Missouri and Mississippi river should GET THE FUCK OUT OF TOWN.  We're serious.  Massive flooding due to happen next week.  Oh yea, then get ready for another snow pack to pile up before winter is over AND then a hot summer only to flood these river valleys, again.

It's kinda a wild weather system. We've got reports of 70 degrees in Oklahoma, today.  Remember that Oklahoma just got record snow fall, I think it was 2+ feet of snow last week.  What the fuck is going on?  Soon the jet stream should move north and a normal winter should return.  The Jet Stream Fluctuated and that's what caused the 78 degrees in Oklahoma.

Weird, Huh?

P.S.
Viva Algeria
Viva Libya
Viva Egypt
Viva Bahrain
Viva Iran
Viva Tunisia

Long live the power of the people.

Monday Night Shin~Dig

Do you have the juice?  Mr. Shin does, with his expensive suits and expensive booze.
Paychecks arrived today, but it's nothing like what Mr. Shins' paycheck must be like.
Mr. Shin, who comes for his evening tryst every Monday, didn't disappoint tonight.

He smells like a vodka factory.  Like an expensive Russian Vodka factory.  He wants a room.  He complains about the $89 rate and I tell him that he's really going to complain when the rates go to $129.  We laugh together and he mentions $79 and I agree only because he's a regular customer.

Good ol' Mr. Shin.

He's done in a little over an hour and he comes down all flustered and blushed.  He returns the keys and apologizes for not tipping me anything and I grumble out loud to myself "That's just Great" and I hope he doesn't hear me, but I think he does.  I mean, I don't care about the money, but don't bring it up if you don't have any.

We'll see if he makes it up next Monday.  We'll also try to capture some video footage of the rare Mr. Shin.  Watch he's married and I get him busted.  Well, guess we have to say that all the names have been changed to protect the innocent.

Superbowl Sunday

What did you think was going to happen?  I really hope you didn't bet against Rodgers.  This guy is going to win the next couple superbowls.  Go Rodgers!

Nobody Cares about the Trash

It's late afternoon in Korea Town, the houseman comes down and sits in the chair opposite me at the front desk and takes a big breath and looks at me.  He tells me he dumped the trash.  I tell him good and continue the work i'm doing.  He tells me he had to dump it twice today.  I put down the reservation I'm working on and look at him in the face.  I tell him it's nice that he mentioned to me that he dumped the illegal trash in the dumpster, but I don't want to have a twenty minute conversation about it.  I don't care if he needs to dump the trash, had to dump the trash twice or if he should dump the trash but isn't going to do it.  I don't care.  I ask him if he wants to hear about all the reservations that I have to make.  He tells me he does, and I tell him that he just wants to hear about it so I'll listen to him about his day.  I tell him we are a bunch of men and we don't sit around talking about work.  We work.  If he wants to talk about dumping the trash for 15 minutes, then he can talk about it with one of the maids.

He tells me that I'm a jerk and goes home.

BAM! LuLu Invades Venice

Wild Storms and Wild People! Go Team World!

Did things just get notched up a level on the doomsday clock?!?

Not yet.  We're still at 6 minutes to midnight.  Yikes.  Check out the actual clock HERE

What else is going on around the world.

Australia just got nailed by a MEGA typhoon.  Damn Yazi really fucked up Queensland.  That's the North East Corner of Australia.  Storm was a Cat. 5 with winds well over 160+ MPH.  Total devastation for most of the country up there.  You can make the correlation between Katrina and Yazi and see that these MEGA storms are coming every 5 years now.

Some new info coming out of the Rain Forrest in Brazil.  A massive drought in 2009 released 5 Billion Tons of Carbon instead of being a good carbon sponge and sucking up 150 Billion tons of Carbon.  You see, when we have a drought in that region of the world it causes the vegetation to die and release carbon.  This drought in 2009 happened 4 years earlier in 2005 as well and then not until 1908.  When the drought happened in 2005 it was so severe that many thought it was a once in a century event.

So, to sum it up.

Mega Storm dumps large amounts of snow from Texas to Boston; 2K Miles.

Mega Typhoon Wrecks Queensland.

and the Brazilian rain forest is decreasing with mother natures help (drought), not just man cutting down the forest.

Do we need to bring up the Middle East?!?

Okay.  Things seemed cool in Egypt with Mubarak signaling he was going to step down in September after 10 days of Protests by anti-Mubarak demonstrators, but all of the sudden there are Pro-Mubarak demonstrators and people are shooting at each other now and the press is being attacked and things are getting bad over there pretty quick.  Anderson Cooper is only broadcasting from a secure undisclosed position because he was attacked Yesterday, along with pretty much the entire foreign press.  There are reports of every kind coming out from every side and you just don't know what to believe.

There are reports coming down the line that say massive protests are being held in Yemen and Jordan asking for the removal of their leaders!  Viva the Revolution! (Easy to say as I sit here in my nice house in California with the weather is 70F/15C)  How far will this spread before that whole continent is stuck in the throes of REVOLUTION?!?!

P.S.

Did Nostradamus say anything about the Empires Falling in Africa?

It's Ground hogs day

Good ol' Phil came outside and DID NOT see his shadow.

Check out this live video:  HERE


This storm at one point was leaving snow in Texas and all the way up into Boston.  It's 2000 Miles wide.

The era of super duper MEGA storms is here.

Perfect night to break out that Chicago Bears Snuggie and read an Ebook.
