Crap o’ The Day.

complete cry baby and 100% insane. no question.

This is a little moment I’m calling Crap O’ the Day – my brief thoughts on three current events.

1) Have you ever wanted the coveted seat in a car we refer to as “Shotgun” so much you were willing to kill for it?  A guy in Louisiana wanted it so bad he actually took a box cutter and slashed his friends throat in order to claim shotgun.  I bet he was really pissed when he had to sit in the back of a cop cruiser.

2)  Hillary Clinton has proved how willing she is to “cross party lines” for the greater good of the American people.  When she heard Palin was attending a rally to support Isreal and talk smack about Iran’s lunatic president, she became angry and pulled out of her committment to go.  Hmmm.  Show support for Jews in Isreal against Ahmadinejad’s ethnocentric ideals or be seen with Palin?  I don’t like Palin, but Hillary gets the “Big Fucking Deal” award for this move as this was a bipartisan event.  Nice job crossing those party lines you feminist carpet bagging cry baby.

3)  I love my soda, but would I serve 6 months in jail for it…maybe.  But it would have to be a damn good reason and most likely involve Captain Morgan.  A lady in Idaho who escorts her dad regularly to the V.A. Hospital is facing 6 months by the Feds for noncompliance when the clerk demanded $3.80 instead of $1.50 for her soda refill and after a scuffle ensued, spilling her soda on the counter.  U.S. Attorney Tom Moss is bringing federal charges against this woman.  Excess much Tom?  This is complete nonsense and a total waste of time and taxpayer dollars.  Anyway, after the nationwide press this story just received in the last day, I’m sure U.S. Attorney Tom Moss is about to learn the sad news that he’s reached his level of incompetence.  Bye Tom!

Find the man in the coffee beans.

Doctors have concluded that if you find the man in the coffee beans in 3 seconds, the right half of your brain is better developed than most people. If you find the man between 3 seconds and 1 minute, the right half of the brain is developed normally. If you find the man between 1 minute and 3 minutes, then the right half of your brain is functioning slowly and you need to eat more protein If you have not found the man after 3 minutes, the advice is to look for more of this type of exercise to make that part of the brain stronger!!!

Val Kilmer Gov. of New Mexico?

GET IN MA' BELLY!

The guy who brought us true 80’s spirit in Real Genius, tight manly medieval pants as Madmartigan in Willow, and more recently authentic Hollywood gayness in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang – could be carefully gauging the 2010 office of Governor of New Mexico.  You may know the man who currently holds the position as former Democratic presidential hopeful Bill Richardson, or as I like to call him the sheepish guy catching the flying daggers between Obama and Clinton during democratic debates.

Anyway, the interesting part of this is Kilmer registered to vote in his resident state of NM in 1992 yet has failed to cast ONE vote since that time.  That’s super because I like my Governors-elect to have an unclear voting record.  It makes things less messy that way.  Just ask John Kerry.

Pink Floyd’s Rick Wright Dead at 65.

us and him.

The man who penned “The Great Gig In The Sky” and “Us And Them” from Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, has died of cancer at age 65 this week.  My sole statement is that Pink Floyd has altered not only the world, but helped to alter it’s state of conciousness for years with it’s music.  It’s different, unique, and so was Wright who’s led a musical path of the unknown and left a legacy of unrivaled steps.  How deep his imprint on music and our ears.

Love = Mental Illness: How do you know when you’re in love?

I recently was asked by someone to casually analyze the emotion of love and the course of a relationship briefly while eating dinner. The question primarily: when did you know? How did you know?

I gave a marginally acceptable (perhaps fumbling) answer regarding this person’s circumstances as I admit I was more stunned by the personal invitation into a life I had not been apart of for 10 years. The problem started when I came home and couldn’t shake the true process of love. I sat on the couch, laid in my bed, stared at the walls and like a dead fish at late night TV while the question of love ran through and through. What is it? How do we really know?

Rather than collect a series of baby Rhesus monkeys for experimentation in order to prove love like the famed psychologist Harry Harlow, I decided to do a series of mini brainstorms. So here they are, the answers I’ve come up with.

Poetic Answer

Love is a bonfire; not only in a heart, but it sets the knowable world ablaze. This is a burning, smoldering intensity that is unmistakable. UNDENIABLE. As air to the lungs, love is to a heart and a beating heart will not let go if one is authentically in love.

Rant on Love

Is love imitated? Yes, disguised as anger and jealousy, possession and control – these are the dangerous cousins of love? Can you miss the signs of love? It’s possible…you must deny yourself the ability, or the desire to need another person. Love is not optional, it’s not a test. You feel it or you don’t. It is necessity of the heart and if one chooses a course of life not conducive to the introduction of another, it is more choice than act of feeling, because when love is at the wheel…the yearning to be with the person we love is night and day. Love is sometimes a less rational and more progressive movement towards unity. This is love.

Scientific Answer

Chemically, love is a rush in your central nervous system. Your pupils dilate as you attempt to visually intake more of the one you love. Your Sympathetic Nervous System will stimulate the release of adrenaline, and the portion of your brain that responds to pleasure and reward will light up (if under watch in an MRI) where receptors will be waiting for neurotransmitters that provide Dopamine. A chemical which can provide great amounts of heightened energy and motivation to achieve the visual pleasure your eyes have given you. Due to how we physically respond to love, researchers say love under scientific scope looks the same as mental illness. This is love.

Realistic/Long term Answer

Love is also the desire to hold someone even as they become older. The capacity to be intensely furious with a person you love and yet come to them and work it out. The courage to birth children. The courage to coach a woman birthing children. Holding a dying hand and telling them to be strong. Saying the wrong things…doing the wrong things, and asking for forgiveness. Telling people what you need. Helping someone through it, past it, over it, and under it. Struggling, mending, hurting, crying, dreaming, enjoying, laughing, asking, hoping, wanting, smiling, living, loving.

WANTING love still even knowing how hard it will be. This is love.

The Conclusion or Ultimate Answer

There has been one thing I have never questioned in life until now and that is….love. When I say the words and when I’ve said the words, “I love you,” I have meant it because I’ve felt it. I’ve been moved by it, physically and emotionally. It is maybe the only thing in my life that has remained unchanged. So to those of you, who may lie up at night questioning the process of love, I say this; love is never vague. It’s in your every pore, on the surface of your skin, and bleeds through every organ. Love is all things ignited. A heart in love will not beat vaguely.

There is a less singular, multifaceted feeling in life which can defy and simultaneously exhaust all explanation. This is love. You can’t miss it.

9/11 Tribute Video.

When I was 21 – I watched live on a little tv at work as a second plane flew intentionally into the world trade tower next to its burning twin. After watching the stunning images, I remember walking outside and looking up at the marvelous blue sky.  I’d heard of evil in the world, and perhaps even strolled across its path, but grace had kept me from actually seeing it until witnessing the explosion of humanity on my little tv.  So I say to you, hold on to this day as eyes hold on to a blinding sun. Let there be no cracks in the halls of your hearts because of this evil…but open your new eyes to the capabilities of other hearts. My love to all this Sept. 11th.  Holly

American Airlines Lose Dead Body: Who’s flying this plane?

We're your crew...you got a prob with that?

No body loses dead bodies like American Airlines.  This week it was revealed a Mr. Miguel Olaya is suing the largest Airline in the world for losing something far more precious than naked pictures of your secretary after an incompetent flight on a “business trip” to Cancun.  AA lost his dead wife, Teresa.  A woman who fought a recent battle of pancreatic cancer. How does that happen exactly?  How does one lose a dead body?

Personally, if I was the head of the AA Dead Body Travel Department, I might have come up with some ingenious device, like maybe attaching a well placed jingle bell on the cadaver, so wherever the body travels, my certainly competent crew would have *ahem* a head’s up…on the location of said body.

Though – I’m not in charge, so let’s just call this a spade and say, it’s a dead body.  What gives AA?  Do the airlines suddenly have a severe case of narcolepsy at the wheel, because every other week they’re mistreating passengers.  Air traffic control is tokin’ weed in the tower as a variety of planes have almost hit each other landing or taking off, and prices are going insane (they’re going to start charging for people by the ounce soon) – and all this after the whole industry has been bailed out via bankruptcy by the government.

Now we’ve hit rock bottom, because American Airlines, the LARGEST AIRLINES IN THE BUSINESS, can’t even ship a DEAD BODY correctly to her native country to be buried.  I’m not saying mistakes don’t happen.  Lately though, in this industry, the airline creates a barely tolerable, barely affordable, hostile, and unapologetic environment…without a hint of true customer satisfaction or common sense.  And the customers are paying through the nose for this treatment.  The last several flights I took, which have been a few years back, all of my flight attendants could have been stand in doubles for Faye Dunaway’s wire hanger scene in Mommy Dearest.  Only the flight attendants had more makeup.  My point however is that I think it’s time people stop paying for this unbelievable customer disservice and start using other means of transportation.  If you continue, you’re apart of this jackass problem.

Currently, American Airline’s motto is

“We know why you fly, we’re American Airlines.” – Well that may have been the case in the glory days AA.  Let me, however, suggest a new campaign slogon more befitting.

“We know why you fly, and we don’t give a shit.  We’re American Airlines.”
